    Ever heard of the burden of proof? In essence, it means that the burden of proof falls to the person making an accusation. He has no need to disprove your claim unless you put forth some solid evidence.

    Skywars I believe this can make skywars more enjoyable:

    Skybases aren't a large issue in skywars at all, just an easily countered playstyle. Any of these changes would do far more harm than good. I find campers who spam projectiles to be a huge issue - the only counter to that is to build above them and over, and adding a height limit would stop this...

    Skywars Map Opinions

    For #3, I understand the idea of the ring being strategic. However the webs are just too much... there's too many of them and they in fact give the advantage to geared players, not strategic ones. For #4, sorry if that seemed to be the impression, but I like the way it plays. It's just...

    Skywars Map Opinions

    I'm willing to play through any of these maps and update my opinions... Poofy, thanks for giving a reasoned explanation of the type of playstyle you think works on that map. I'll try that and see what I think of it. Trenly, which parts do you disagree with? I'll definitely consider your...

    Skywars Map Opinions

    As I said a few days ago, I decided to collect my opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of each SkyWars map. I'll leave design choices up to the build team, but I tried to evaluate gameplay and favored playstyles of each map. These were all quick notes taken between games, so if you built any...

    You're right - I might have to bump it out a couple blocks since the diagonals look a little close. It's about as close, a little farther, as the islands in Garden Grove which I've found to have a good play speed.

    I can add some more 3D to make the ships seem more realistic, and I'll count out the distance between islands. Off the top of my head I think it's about 8 blocks between islands and 16-24 from islands to mid.

    No problems, I understood about the revamp! I'm actually putting together my opinions of all of the maps into a document as I play. I'll upload that to the forums when I get a chance to see what other people think.

    Don't get me wrong, they're solid balloons, but it's a spread out map with only 1 spawn chest such that there's only a 50% chance of getting enough blocks. Even adding another chest could greatly enhance gameplay.

    I'd like to hijack this - I think the players overall seem to have different views as balloons is getting a lot of hate. Unfortunately the only way to really judge how a map actually plays is to implement and play it, and the gameplay of balloons is lacking.

    Ugh - rookie mistake on my part. I did use a texture pack by accident the second time around after I made the edits. Spawn islands use a mix of light gray wool, polished andesite, polished diorite, and iron bars to get a more techy texture. Small islands now use I believe gray wool, stone...

    That's a little more exciting don't you think? A little pizzazz, some green, and an updated shape with a larger middle. Also, I improved the color scheme of the side islands and moved them down 3 blocks, for a different feel.

    I was thinking the exact same thing about the green, that was in my original plan but I had removed it for whatever reason! I think what I'm going to do is make a bright green asteroid crashed into the middle island. That should make the appearance better.

    I'll try a couple things - maybe I'll put an asteroid crashed into mid, that might work to spice it up a bit. I personally like that the middle island especially looks rather extraterrestrial in texture and appearance, but it's a bit bland I agree. Also, for the small islands, should I change...
