Hello tributes.
An update to the hunger games is long overdue, and it's time I get on to developing one. However, I need your opinion on this proposal as it is pretty game changing. I will cover the following changes:
- Seasons - Maximum Server Population - Changes to Gamemakers - Training points (TP)
CHANGE #1: SEASONS
I would like to transform The Hunger Games by Ozzypig into a season-based game, meaning that every month (or so) everyone's level will be saved and reset. Basically, your previous level is framed into your profile as a past accomplishment for others to see. On the flip side, you'll now have a new chance to start from scratch and show you're truly the best tribute.
For example, players who reach level 8 in Season 1 will have some kind of reward upon the arrival of Season 2, and have their level reset to 1 again. The reward may expire in Season 3, but that will be decided later on.
Context: This update is aimed at allowing a fresh, like-new start. Nobody should play the game just to win all the time, which levels do that. If you're not being challenged by this game, there's something wrong. I think high levels are doing that to players. Also, player should be rewarded for having a high level during a season.
CHANGE #2: MAXIMUM SERVER POPULATION
ROBLOX recently released an update to games that allow new numbers of players per game server instance. Before, developers had the option from 6 to 20 players or 30 players (Mega place). The Hunger Games always was set to 30 because I wanted for there to be 24 players in the games at once (two per district). However, this left out 6 players the chance to play. To compensate, 3 became gamemakers and the other three were left out.
The maximum server population would be changed to 27 so that 24 players can be tributes and 3 will be gamemakers. This makes sure nobody is left out.
The selection of gamemakers will be modified too: currently for every 8 tributes, one game maker is selected. If you had 9 players playing, one would be a gamemaker. I think it is more valuable for that one player to be a tribute instead when the server is not full enough for the full 24. So, gamemakers will only be selected from the leftover players once ALL 24 tributes are selected.
Context: I would like to change this so that everyone in the server has the chance to play if they so chose. No player should have to sit out of a match just by random chance. Additionally, the gamemaker position should be rarer and more valuable (see next segment).
CHANGE #3: GAMEMAKERS
I'm being 100% candid with you all on this one: the gamemaker role is boring. Pressing a button to do something isn't exactly the most fun. I think that gamemakers should have greater control over the games and also should be highly rewarded for it. I want the gamemaker role to be not just fun but also lucrative.
Context: I want to add/change the ways that gamemakers can altar the games. I've gotten too many messages of players groaning that being a gamemaker is so boring, and how individuals have been picked 5 times in a row as gamemaker (despite the process being completely random). It's time being a gamemaker means power over the game and the tributes.
CHANGE #4: TRAINING POINTS
Tributes get a basic knowledge of survival before they go into the arena. Careers have the advantage physically and mentally too. As such, I think there should be specific abilities pertaining to health, survivability, damage and will to live. Before the beginning of each round, tribute should get some Training Points (TP) to spend on these abilities to give them an edge in battle.
Careers will be given more TP than normal tributes, obviously. These points would be free and be reset and given at the start of every round, similar to Sponsor Points only for the beginning of the round.
Context: This makes it the job of the players to select their traits carefully and develop a strategy based on something, such as "kill anyone and everyone" or "out-sustain the competition". It also makes being a Career tribute less flat-line and more dynamic.
May the odds be ever in your favor, ~Ozzypig
PS: This forum topic has been left open for discussion on these updates. Please stay on-topic and provide constructive criticism. No whining about "wah, I don't want to lose my level" or "I hate being a gamemaker"; this is what I'm trying to change. Thanks! |

| I agree with all of this, even though I'm a high level (13), It's not challenging, and not realistic in Hunger Game matters. I look forward to see what will be added to the gamemakers! Maybe, the Gamemakers can choose/vote on a map? Or, they can expand the arena. Also, the shrink map should be left as the terrains falling, such as how it was on the first version of shrink, but it will shrink the cornucopia baseplate as well, preventing runners! Ew! |

| This is a really good idea, the high lvs always pair up making it impossible for anyone else to win, most of the time at least, and I think this will give everyone a chance, of course at the end of the season we will have higher lv's but the fact that it will be reset every season is a great idea. all the other updates are great too, don't let someone threaten you saying they will quite, those are the people who ruin the game anyway and make others quite. |

Ozzy, I think that this is a great idea, only the minority of people will disagree. I am a high level (13), and personally, I feel that it can be improved, half of the players are killed in less than a minute, the others either run to survive, hide or TRY to put up a fight to the higher levels. This, I find unfair in many ways, I think that yes, there should be little boosts that can benefit you in the games, but when you are using the lower levels as punching bags, there is no way they will level up unless they bet. So, I agree with this update, please consider it. |

It's a great idea over all. It took me a while just to get to level 11, Why dont we just level up weapons? Yes high levels RUN the games, But they played the games to level up.

| I like it but except for the 1st idea you had about the levels because its a lot of hard work leveling up and no one would like doing it again and again and again. |

Dear Ozzy,
I am a fellow level 24 (as you may know already) and I actually like the idea of the Seasons, but that aside I am fine with any updates, and EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD BE AS WELL, because if they are there to play your game, they should have at least some trust on you to see how these updates are. Now next paragraphs will describe the overall perspective of most people.
Seasons. For one reason seasons seem like a good idea is the prizes, but the thing is, due to the rising population of speed hackers and level changers this update will have to have some background before being in play. Such as let's say you are a player, and want to level up, but you can't due to the speed differences between normal players, high experienced players ,and speed hackers. It makes the game seem so frustrated which will end up in a surprisingly drastic amount of players not playing. Also 1 month or 2 months or 3 months won't work because most players play for the game and it takes time for them to level up, so please rethink the time of each reset. As well as not everyone will be keen on the idea of leveling up again so it seems pointless as really, most people I told of the update like the idea they said the might "quit" because of it. -So many omg-
Maximum Server population is alright
Training points is also VERY good idea.
Issues I have overcome over the months ----- 1 - There are too many glitchers and they rise in population daily due to the ease it takes to glitch in a game, so from my side, from the dear players side, please find a solution to the glitchers, stubborn people stop us from vote kicking that person
2 - Speed Hackers (Better term is exploits, but doesn't seem right to me) WE ALL have a problem with them, sometimes I get messages to get 'rid' of them by making them rage quit, but it is tiring for all the players to get killed so quickly OVER AND OVER again by a user who is greedy for experience
3 - Betting and Sponsoring problem, well I couldn't find a term for it, but basically we have to reset inside the betting and sponsoring areas to bet and or sponsor, which is really frustrating, so if you could find solutions to this problems please do.
4 - HP, the max hp is 250, which seems very useful, but for higher levels it seems as insult for the effort in the game. ------------------------------------------------------ I thank you for making a forum on this so I can address some issues, and also give some hopingly valuable feedback, and I wish you can solve some of these issues,
Regards, york45 c:

| At the season thing, No. I've worked so hard on my level only to have it stripped from me. Don't do that. |

| I think this is a good idea me being lvl 14 i always see high lvls ganging up on low lvls and they know they dont even have a chance which is sad. But onething i think you need to address is that if you reset in the beginning before they call out the tributes you can automaticly win, you keep spawn dying until the last person dies and you win. |

| Everything, except the season idea, is nice. I worked quite hard on my level to get it up to a small 12, and I don't want to lose that. So, please don't put the seasons in. |

| These ideas are great although I'm not too sure I would like the seasons though because there is no point in trying to level up if your stats reset every season... |

| I think, that instead of every month to reset, I think it should be every 3 months, like literally every SEASON. I know it seems like a long time but evey month is really short. I worked so hard to get to my level 14 and I don't want to lose the chance to get it everymonth |
