As of now the UHC meetup can be fun for some, but rather annoying and dull for others due to the current state of it. The issues I've seen with the meetup is that the kits are too unbalanced. Archy noted that there were an insane amount of combinations to make it so one would never get the same kit twice, but that doesn't change the fact that they are very unbalanced. There are times where people can get less of everything compared to someone else which is really poor. I've gotten a fire res pot, speed pot, fair bit of healing and not so bad armor before. I think this also contributes to the sheer amount of cleanups, of course people will always clean and nothing can be done about it, but if the kits were more balanced I feel some people wouldn't feel forced to clean because they got one piece prot 2 and have a poor weapon.

Next the gear is too OP, and there is way too much healing. It starts off pretty damn high, and you get a boat load of EXP. Ending fight you can easily get prot 4 pieces, sharp IV or even V fire swords, and easily a Power V fire bow. This doesn't represent a late game UHC fight, and too my knowledge that is what the meetup is trying to do. Even if the objective isn't to represent a late game UHC fight, its still just a very poor playing field to start and to end.

The voting is either time bomb or no gamemode all the time. I think it would be nice to do one of the following. Either auto select the gamemode for users to play, or limit the voting options randomly for every game. So some games wouldn't even have an option to vote time bomb or no gamemode. I feel like doing one of the following would aid in getting different gamemodes started. As they are implemented, and have been worked on by the devs, but are sadly sitting there rotting.

All in all I think its a step in the right direction, the old meetup while I wouldn't say it was dead, compared to the users playing the current one it wasn't as active. It had an advantage, and that was that it was more balanced. Everyone started off with the same items, it was a fair playing field from the gate. I think having more balance and less OP is far more competitive than what we have now.

-1 for everything except random game modes.

If you're going to disagree with something at least give your opinion on why.

The only thing I somewhat agree wish is the armor difference, I feel like it should always start the person out with at least chest, legs, boots and helm. One piece (boots or helm) is just ridiculous.
