Server"Desert DM [Beta]" - No pass
Specs-Desert
-7005 blocks
-Available weapons: Sword [Default], Steel Long Sword, Spear, Steel Hatchet, Bow
Basic description-Plenty of cover, including complete buildings, destroyed buildings, partial walls etc.
-Smaller arena of 3 complete buildings and 3 destroyed buildings with some open spaces around.
-Each building has more than one strategic access point, discouraging campers.
-One larger 3 tier building in a corner.
-Setting wise, each building is made up of many small blocks. That being said, the buildings are almost entirely destructible, however, the only destructive weapon is the spear.
CriticismAfter hosting the server for a bit, I have received some criticism.
Let me just say that, yes, I am new. My build may seem noob because it is, but I do believe that some of your criticism isn't fair. If your criticism is just "Your arena looks like crap", I just assume your trolling. If you really want to criticize my work, then tell me how I can go about improving on my design. I'll listen to that.
Some say that-
My arena is too smallWell, my inspiration for this arena
DID NOT come from your contemporary Blockland build. It came from some of my most favorite oldschool games such as 007 Goldeneye [N64], Doom64, Turok [N64], Diablo, Diablo II, and such. Hell, even Platform Racing 3 has had a lot of influence on how I want my DM/s to play.
That being said, my DM isn't designed to be large like most others. It's designed for constant combat.
The problem I seem to be having with most DMs on BL is that there is more walking around and talking than action. The first one I ever tried, there was a two minute helicopter ride before you ever saw an enemy. That's really boring imho.
Well, my DM isn't like that... as soon as you spawn, you gotta hit the ground running and go kill some blockheads!
My arena is too plain and simple ...and that's the way I want it. My arena may be simple to the eye, but to a strategist, it's all you need for some good skilled fun.
Most DMs on BL seem to be over-glorified and flashy, yet lacking what is truly fun... combat. My DM focuses almost purely on combat.
My weapons are too limitedIf I put anything else but medieval weapons in it, it wouldn't be much of a Desert Deathmatch would it? Besides, if you like ranged combat, then get good with the spear and bow... if you can't do that, then go play another DM.
My arena is visually unappealingYour point exactly? Who cares? I play a DM for combat and strategy, not eye candy. If you want eye candy, go join a RP or Freebuild.
