DM Arena

[Darlo2k4]

Personally, i think the Deathmatch arena should be brought back, but without the laginess. It was a good idea that should be brought back into the mix.

Thoughts?

...I got like 10 fps on that infused with lag spikes that took me down to 1 fps...no?

Thats why i think it should be improved. The problem was 1. The lava, and 2. The falling sand. Change it so that there is no lava, and the sand doesn't fall, it just disappears. That should solve the problem. And maybe, create a 10 or 20 second pause, to allow any chunks to render for players with bad ping

I thought the old dm arena was AWESOME. I was very sad when they took it away. I would suggest instead of lava there should be the void and instead of falling sand there could only be the stone bricks that disappear. Another reason why I liked the old one is because spectators couldn't block arrows .

Many threads have been raised on the subject and I believe the result was: There was almost unanimous support for the idea, but the lag was caused by something harder to fix the just falling sand and lava. Teleporting to the DM arena in the first world was what lagged the game, as it required the server to run a multi world, and handle all the updated rules in that region. If that cold be fixed or streamlined somehow, I would be in great support of this.

Can't they copy and paste a dm arena into every map? For instance, the dm arena could be in the same world as the main arena, but a few thousand blocks away. This might get rid of lag as the server would not have to change the world. It sounds kind of dumb but it'll still work.

Maybe, as an extension of the maps, we could build deathmatch arenas for every map themed in the appropriate style of the map. They would still have to be very simple and have the same concepts (blocks dissappearing) and be as lag free as possible, but it would add to the games a lot. Like, a stoney-grass one for sg1, jungle-y for sg3 etc.

you are right i saw it ones when i was on the server for the first time it was awesome and i had no fps problems
It was removed because there was a plugin bug in 1.3 but the never returned arena and it was great because some times deathmatches can be long

It should be where e sand would disappear but instead of lava people would fall to there death.
