N.B: This is all up to senior hosts.My concern: Long story short, there aren't enough games with game-modes.

Just take a look at today for instance, only 1 game with game-modes.
Thanks for reading.

+1 There are alot of gamemodes that we can use but we are not using it, no games with final heal at start, like 0 ender dragon rushes, only 1 cutclean, 0 horseless, and there aer even more that we didn't use yet like skyhigh or moles. The only fun game in my opinion is the ender dragon rush and that basicly happens once a month or something. i know its hard to load the map for it with nether, end and overworld but still. Are we a server that can hold a uhc with over 400 players OR WHAT? step up badlion and show us what you got!Posted on 29 August 2015 - 12:00 PM
I've made several posts about this explaining that there is not enough gamemodes. # Also its nice to know im not the only one picking this upPosted on 29 August 2015 - 12:03 PM
Also for each gamemode hosted I think the same (Or similar) should be hosted on a different region the same day/time to keep things fair and balancedPosted on 29 August 2015 - 01:08 PM
Hosts can ask for gamemodes all they want. We only really deny them if they are close to other games of the same gamemode or if there hasnt been a vanilla game for a while. For instance say theres an ffa cutclean. The next ffa should be vanilla. Now if theres only one gamemode, , then id presume hosts arent asking. Thats just my thought, i could be wrong. But thats how ive always felt about itPosted on 29 August 2015 - 01:24 PM
Surely players should have a bigger influence over what WE play rather than the host? Since we are the ones playing it. I believe strawpoll for gamemodes would be a lot better and this would actually let the community choose which games they want.Posted on 29 August 2015 - 01:26 PM
Or surely this idea would work. Each timeslot during the day would be taken for a vanilla game. Then the other slots at the same time the hosts could strawpoll their games and let the players decide. This would make sure there is some variety by keeping a Vanilla game running at the same time, and it also lets the players choose what they would like? @TheGrommPosted on 29 August 2015 - 01:33 PM
Hosts are not allowed to use strawpolls anymore. They only caused confusion, and a strawpoll would end in the same result each time. I never saw much point to them myself. However, legs see what the other seniors have to say. Im not an eu so i cant judge as much based on their timeslots.Posted on 29 August 2015 - 01:59 PM
Hosts get the choice because they are the ones who have to sit down and dedicate 2-3 hours of their time hosting and dealing with player's crap.Freedom of hosting is a very important thing. It gives hosts motivation to host and it makes it so they enjoy it more than if they were pressured into hosting certain gamemodes.
Allowing hosts to pick the gamemode also gives them a sense of freedom. Hosting on Badlion is stricter then hosting other places, we follow high standards and provide a high quality of games.
Finally, as Grom said, we senior hosts only really deny gamemodes if they are proposing a varied gamemode straight after a previous one. We try to keep this so that gamemodes aren't over hosted, then we'd get a lot more posts about them being over hosted.

sluttycow always discussed with me and a few others that SKYHIGH will not be hostedZ also moles would not work eith 300 peoplePosted on 30 August 2015 - 09:28 PM
Tbh if you want to play different game modes such as moles, skyhigh, blood diamonds, or even ender dragon rush, go play redditPosted on 31 August 2015 - 01:28 AM
Ender Dragon Rush is hosted on Badlion, so is Blood DiamondsPosted on 05 September 2015 - 03:41 PM
+1 I mean as a host myself I'd like to host a variety of gamemodes for the fun of it. Minesweeper pls :3Posted on 06 September 2015 - 04:58 AM

You can't compare entirely different systems. Also, other people/networks that host follow high standards and provide high quality games - they wouldn't succeed if this wasn't the case.

In terms of hosting games and its bugs, I have to agree with this. Badlion is good at hosting UHC's because the games don't crash, they go smoothly, a lot of players can join and the TPS is pretty much constant at its best (20.00). What I wouldn't really agree with this is the amount of people spectating the games. There are plenty of ocassions I join and there's 1 host through entire game and then he/she is complaining about it while other mods/hosts are playing. I mean, if you decide to host a game all by yourself with 300+ players, then don't complain since you chose to host a game alone. That's kinda my opinion about it.

1/3 of those games has a gamemode, that's completely normal and what we are shooting for, as more games are claimed throughout the day some of them will have gamemodes, and some won't, the gamemodes aren't added autmatically by the calendar, they are added by the host.Posted on 10 September 2015 - 07:59 AM
I don't want badlion to turn into reddit gamemodes, i want them to get gamemodes that wouldn't give people an advantage or make it not uhc… (Triple Ores,Infinite Enchanter, Genie, Paranoia, Moles etc.), I don't want badlion to turn into reddit ;-;Posted on 11 September 2015 - 11:08 AM
No absorption games are fun and rarely ever hosted! ^_^Posted on 12 September 2015 - 08:01 AM
I see where you're all coming from but maybe set more default games with game modes. This includes more collaborations of game modes.Posted on 12 September 2015 - 08:57 AM
