I realize it has been suggested before- but hear me out. REMOVE THE SWITCH! Its only function is as a troll item. I dont think the creator of it realized what it could be used for when making it, because if they had they simply would not have done it. It infuriates anyone on the receiving end, and adds NO GAMEPLAY VALUE WHATSOEVER to the game. From the perspective of someone going to university to make video games (me), this is a very poorly designed item, and should probably be removed. It serves no purpose other than to annoy, and there is no good reason to keep it. Whenever some shopper loses to another player and gets mad, that player is simply unable to enjoy the game, since that shopper will usually resort to switching them every game. As a streamer, its even worse for me. it frequently occurs that people switch me every round, and intentionally die after I do to continue trolling my streams and prevent me from making content. Again, this just has to do with the poorly designed nature of the item. I understand that somebody spent a lot of their time creating the switch, and it is a very unique and cool item in theory, but in practice, it simply does not work and removes huge value from the game and makes it more annoying to play. I could continue going on, but this post is long enough already. I recommend swapping the switch for a player tracker in the shop, now THAT is a good item idea! But above all... Please... please, please, PLEASE REMOVE THE SWITCH.
Out 0f anything i support this because I've tested that if you just wait til you are the last player in a game and switch the other guy you can make a 3 skybuck profit and that would end up being skybuck exploitation. It makes no sense to keep it in the game but if It were to stay at least make it more expensive or decrease the radius of it from 20 blocks down to 5 or 10. Edit: For people who know me from when I first joined they know I used to always use the switch but I've slowly learned there really isn't a need for it in the long run because of the feeling that you won without a "cheap" method. There are of course work arounds for this being if you are fast enough you can reswitch someone and I've done that prolly 4 times in games but even for me I've gotten targeted because I have a high ball + pink name go brr. It goes without saying that there is just too many complaints abt the switch and it should be removed
Honestly, didnt even think of that. maybe if the switch isnt removed, I should try it and make a compilation video...
A lot of people feel this way... I could probably write an essay on why the switch should be removed.
This item is annoying as heck. When it comes down to you and one other guy, they can just jump over an edge and Switch you over it and instantly win, make a 4 dollar profit. I've been killed this way so many times it's ridiculous, and i'm sure others can say the same
Hear me out, Player Tracker to replace the switch. It's just annoying and the only time I used it was to literally FIND SOMEONE WITH IT! LOL! I would honestly add player trackers to normal gameplay, campers and hiders would be cut down, and I would DEF come back to the server. In all honesty, I think it only looks good on paper. So yeah... get it outta here. Even with the fact that they removed bal cap, and added LAPIS to the shop, I think they could do a bit better. Lapis was Uhm... unneeded... But appreciated ig? I just think, Lapis should have been the replacement for the switch... Or uh I dunno... enchanted books? Curse of Vanishing, Prot 4, sharpness 5. All that...
Yes. Just yes, all I have to say is yes and yes is what I'll say. Also Zonas I know more about gamedev then you xD I think...
remove switch, black hole is cheap too but at least that costs a lot of money, the problem with the switch is that its so cheap, so if you keep it the price should at least be raised to $20
Eh no support / neutral It's one of those special items I feel like make skywars special. I agree it's way overpowered and should have a higher price, but I'd hate to see it removed. Skywars gets boring without the variation in gameplay the special items in /shop brings
Agreed with Sando. I don’t even know how to use it but it sounds funny. I think it’s fine as it is. Maybe just bump the price. Neutral.
Why say no support/neutral but then express a point that expresses support/neutral? This reply makes no sense. Either way I agree, don't necessarily have to remove it but the price should be substantially raised since its a free kill/win.
This suggestion is to remove the switch, which I do not support, hence a no support Me wanting the price increased is not me wanting it removed. I'd rather have it how it is right now than removed
The switch has a 15-20 block range from what I've tested, common method is to just jump off and switch someone as you know, has to be placed on solid blocks and cant be placed on glass, leaves or slabs
The switch's price was nerfed and is now $20.00 Skybucks, because of this, it will not be removed for the time being. Now closing this thread. Thread locked and moved to Suggestions - Archive.
