ASKING FOR YOUR OPINION! Wondering about this, since I am starting to build many maps, and helping others with theirs.

Diamond Blocks On Maps? If so, how many is "just right?"

Leave your votes in the comments! This poll with help me when building my maps, and helping others with theirs. Thanks!

Diamonds are bad for 99% of maps. It just imbalances the game so much regardless if it's there for equal opportunity or not. Tanking is a problem especially where there's someone chugging golden apples.

Most maps with diamond can be killfarm maps.

Refer to Para. If it's a small map, with a small amount of diamonds it's not too bad. A big map, Quintus for example is terrible for diamonds. It's way too easy to kill farm.

If killfarming is bad, and you don't want it to happen on any map, why isn't it just forbidden then? Or make it available for defenders only? I don't know, but removing the most or all isn't a good idea imo.
Diamond armor (was) also the way for casual players to fight the better players.

Making kill farming forbidden needs more staff moderation, which is already a problem
There is no way to make it only available for defenders only

I would say that u can have armour (/or 4 blocks each) for two persons per side if it's a bigger map
It would be even better if everyone had full leather armour when they spawn so it's just a bit harder for kill farming

I dislike diamond blocks unless they are very balanced, and I also hate enchants because it literally rewards people for Kill farming

Myworld6 November 16, 2016 at 3:11 PM UTC

Definitely not. Refer to Vice.

Good idea.

I guess hacking is a much bigger problem than killfarming, if there would be more diamonds. The diamond for defenders only idea, was just an example.

And what happens when the good people get full diamond? They don't die. They sit at middle or a monument and kill everyone.

Well who cares then, if they camp at their own monument it's considered defending which I have personally nothing against, but if it's camping at an enemys monument, then it's just kill farming again.

Diamonds cause matches that last hours and are not even fun. If a match lasts 2 or 3 hours I would want it to at least be enjoyable.

Or the old Quintus... credit farming was so easy xD

gyalchester November 16, 2016 at 10:11 PM UTC

I reckon maximum 1 diamond block on the whole map, in the middle where people will either rush for it or just leave it. 9 diamonds overall won't make a massive difference tbh

Goodnighht November 16, 2016 at 11:11 PM UTC

Exactly.. xD And I agree with one or two blocks somewhere in the middle, nothing OP though.

Dyeh November 17, 2016 at 1:11 AM UTC

Depending on the map can be very unbalanced, but in my opinion most of the time people use it to farm kills, because a lot of people don't craft full iron and they are easy to kill.
