/sw start is a great idea when the server is full. However, /sw start is being used to a players advantage. It is a way of winning for free. All an experienced played must to is wait for an inexperienced player to join do /sw start and get a free win. I understand that it helps when there are no players, instead there could be a certain time limit before a game starts, this timer should start as soon as a second player joins (About 30 seconds). /sw start also makes games boring when the server is full, sometimes it is started when just three people have joined which is no fun and really there is no challenge.
I really do hate when people start before the game is full when there are 30+ people on. I understand why it there though; for the people who can only play when there is 10 people on.
Yes I am one of those people who can play when there is no one on, but therefore I provided with the solution to have a short timer or something of that sorts.
I think there should be a player limit. So, you can only use the command when there is 5 players or so in the game.
It should be kept because what if you and your friend go onto skywars wanting to record or play games or get better at skywars when it's just them 2 and know one else is online. I vote keep sw start!
I say /sw start should be removed for many reasons. First, donors can't pick a kit. I find this unfair because donors pay money to support the server, but can't use what they get in return because of the players doing /sw start. Another reason is that players can basically boost. This means that you could get a buddy online and start the game with only them two. The other person could just easily let the other win just to get the points. Another reason is, whenever I'm trying to record a YouTube video, I can't either because players are starting the game too fast for me to do my intro, or because there's few players. Although /sw start is a nice feature, I think it should be removed.
Yeah, that would be nice, but I like @EA_Sharks idea. You can only use /sw start after there's about 5 players in the game.
Same but what happens if there are less than 5 people online. There should be limited amount of votes to start a game.
They'll wait until more players are on. Like really, /sw start is a great feature in skywars, but I personally don't like it due to many problems that come with it.
I really agree, 7 or 8 months ago i used to be a major skywars player but moved to Skyblock because of this problem. Not disappointed with my change though, <3 Skyblock.
Just saying, if you were to add /sw vote Surge or a plugin coder would have to add it manually. This is a public plugin that many servers use; so just removing /sw start would be great! I honestly wait for there to players on before I play, I noticed Skywars starts getting packed around 4-7 Pm EST. So I just wait cause I have patience xD. But some players sadly don't have patience, so we either have to remove /sw start all together, deal with it, or have someone code in /sw vote.
you can vote for a game to start, once the game reaches a set number of votes then a countdown will begin for the game to start
Yeah, great idea xskaro i love the idea with /sw vote. I have seen some server with /sw vote and its really nice. Great idea.
