Badlion is a very successful server and very fun to play on but there are always a few things that can be improved which is why I'm making this thread and future threads. These are just going to be a bunch of suggestions and/or ideas that in my opinion will greatly improve the network. Nothing here is meant to bash on the server, it is simply meant to bring up the areas that need to be improved. These suggestions are going to range from small to big in no particular order.

1.[Arena] Show points 1/1000 for Global MMR in tab. Although global rating is gained much slower this would still help players who want to see where they stand between tiers.

2.[Arena] Freeze players during 5 second pregame countdown. The current system is very annoying and pots are often cut off when being teleported back. Standing still isn't an ideal solution because I can't judt watch my screen stay still for five seconds and neither can most players (I'm assuming.)

3.[UHC Meetup] Bedrock border around 100x100. It will resemble a real UHC scenario more than glass walls.

4.[UHC Meetup] More players per meetup. I often get put in games with 8 or fewer players which makes for a boring game. Making a minimum player count of 12 or more would make for a more enjoyable Meetup.

5.[Arena] A bigger incentive to play competitively and grind Global MMR. Every ladder is dead except for BuildUHC, NoDebuff, and maybe SG. To fix this there should be a bigger incentive to grind other ladders which would best be created by providing prizes for high Global MMR. I believe something like this is already being worked into Season 14 where players get pins and there is a top 256 global tournament. That's all great but something should come with the pins like perks, cosmetics or even temp ranks. There could even be ranks for players who hit diamond in a ladder that they keep for the following season. Cash prizes would be the ultimate incentive to get people to play and donate so they get more matches. More tournaments would also help make things more competitive, they are a true measure of skill.

6.[Arena] Slightly more vertical kb for Speed II. The speed kb is decent as it is but its no where near perfect. Non speed is perfect and should be kept as is.

7.[Arena] /Day and /Night. I'm sure a decent portion of the player base likes to play with the night sky more. I personally think the day sky is way too bright and I don't want to have to switch out texture packs just to play Arena.

I'm going to have to rap this up here because I'm on 3% but I'll make another one when I find time. Please leave your opinions on the suggestions. :)

1.) +1

2.) It's a bit annoying I have to agree and what you mean by pots getting cut off is true. +1 As for it being annoying to most players that is mostly a guess.

3.) Neutral either is fine.

4.) Already decided by a poll on Twitter by Badlion which users were more in favor of 8 player UHC Meetups. Edit: Just played one and there were 12 ppl in it so yea.

5.) https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/132414 neutral on temp ranks.
