Hey everyone, We just got the biggest and rarest week ever in hive history thanks to their newest updates.
The winter fest event scheduled to release the first week of December ended up releasing Last Sunday which is the rarest thing for hive to do especially for this type of update. They must had ran into issues which delayed the update. But Hive winter fest is here with a winter themed hub, A Hunt for Puzzles to solve (Requiring YouTube Tutorials), 12 days of gifting just started on Friday in North America, and Winter themed maps.
On Monday, We also got our first look at MobGame as it is now released and will be gone by December 24th. My experience first time i really enjoyed it and was pretty fun but it had some issues which some were fixed in a patch on Wednesday but now i have found it to not be as fun when first playing it. This game is a more COD style game which players such as me don’t have any experience in so the game is just chaotic and requires a lot of skill.
There are many things i want to them change such as The health of the wither which they gave it 1 extra heart in Wednesday’s patch bringing it to only 5 hearts when i still think it needs much more for how powerful it is, and enderman has delayed aim with it’s power. Another thing i struggle with this in this game is actually winning Most of the time i don’t win and many others as well. You get 5 minutes in the game but once 3 people have gotten all upgrades your now down to a minute meaning you have a very limited time to upgrade.
And i feel many players are upset about it as you pretty much need luck and skill just to win which i dont think many players like where compared to games like deathrun you can at win as long as your actually playing and descent at the game. But with this new style of game it has just gotten a bit of backlash for many different things so there are mixed opinions on this game and will determine if they every bring it back next year for hive-o-ween meaning ghost invasion will not come back if they bring MobGame back.
A note about MobGame is the title is definitely not great but if it comes back it most likely will return as “All the mobs” since this was a game on the java server.
Let’s talk about another issue players were not happy about including me which is the interactive hunt in the hub which is not even a hunt as this year they did these puzzles which require having to move them in the right direction to get the picture and people were not happy. The locations were not that hard to find compared to the puzzles which ranged in size for each one with the hardest being a 5×5. The only way people were able to complete these were matching moves from YouTube tutorials.
Let’s hope they don’t do this again next year.
Other than MobGame hive released their winter bundle/ticket on Friday for people to purchase and do the exclusive quests from the quest master. I have not heard anyone’s thoughts on it but seems people like it there are many quests and cosmetics to unlock.
coming next from hive is adding Skywars Mega back they announced this through the roadmap and explained as part of the update they will vault Skywars Classic as they said the game needs further balancing and more chances and hope to bring it back in the future. This could possibly return later this week or some other week possibly in the beginning of January but don’t think it will take that long.
This was quite a big week for the hive and the new year is almost here who knows what’s next. See you all next week.
