Hub is bland! (here are some suggestions)

[GuppySquidFace]

THE HUB

One thing i have noticed with most minecraft servers is that most of the hubs are very colourful and inviting and they all have their little quirks. Now when i go onto talk about invadedland's hub im not saying that the hub is paticularly bad, i just think it needs some improvements to make it look more fun and proffesional-looking.




The first thing i notice about the hub is that it is very dark and alot of areas are poorly lit which can make the hub look cold and uninviting. i'd either suggest making it day all the time or just lighting the area alot better (for example the npcs are kind of in the dark and the majestic statue is almost not visible)

My second point leads onto the use of colour in the hub area. Personally i think that the hub could really benefit from a bit of colour because at the moment its looking very bland and apart from the flowers there is little to no colour. i do like the design of the spawn and i like the old worldy type thing its got going on but compared alot of other servers it is quite basic.
Ive just put some other server spawns here for comparison and as you can notice they look alot more established and colourful. Thats really it for my thread and i hope that you understand where i am coming from as i really think that the server has alot of potential to look really nice-looking and fun to play. i think that it is important for a servers spawn to look as good as they can possibly be because the first place you spawn will be your first impression of the server and gives you an idea on what the games are like within it.

Yeah that would be great invaded hub is so boring and uninviting.

The hub being dark isn't a problem, just use Fulbright.

The hub is mainly a queue system, and doesn't need much stuff to keep it entertaining. If you're banned, you can complete the hub parkour or play another server.

I agree with gup here

yeah i can see that but you must agree it has so much room for improvement

It’s just the hub?? Most players spend a couple second on it if that because the purpose isn’t to stay there it’s just a portal to the different game modes. Like what more do you want from it? At this point your post is just excessive.

while i feel like the hub is old and kinda boring, i don't think it needs to change right now. i'd rather them make new maps for the servers that actually get played than the hub, which you don't really have a reason to be there other than for a few minutes. survival resetting and getting a new spawn is way more important than the hub getting updated. also, the recent map changes have been super colorful and interesting, so i'm very sure that they already know the importance of color and brightness and looking friendly. the hub is kinda old and they have a new style now and have learned better techniques and i doubt they need to be educated about making pretty hubs

i can see it being updated one day, i'm absolutely not saying it shouldn't, but it doesn't seem like a priority in their eyes at all and really shouldn't be until everything else is done

Just wanted to add to this that there are so many things that the managers, devs, and builders could and should spend time on... and you want them to work on the hub? There’s a saying to not fix something that isn’t broken. Instead of making long suggestion threads to improve something that has nothing wrong with it functionally, make suggestions on how to improve the appeal process, or new addition to game modes to make them fun and exciting.

I get where you are coming from but i kind of disagree you can read in my thread why i think a server hub should be more interesting but this is just my opinion and whether you care about how a hub looks or not i think we can all agree that the hub needs a spruce up

ok these are suggestions if it ever gets updated not an order to get it updated : o

 

[wetplace]

They have so many other things to focous on rn so i don't think the hub will get updated anytime soon

 

[blib_blob_poop]

it was just some ideas for the future

We need hub update!

 

[GuppySquidFace]

read this

yes

yeah i agree, it's so,, stoney????
I miss the old one from early 2019 haha


but i definitely agree w it being bland, i feel like it's situated over too much of a large space which makes it not as capturing imo

like with the old hub ^^^ it was smaller and more encased, you could see everything layed out in front of you and the houses kind of 'close it off', thus creating a more homely spawn unlike our current one which as you said, is 'cold and uninviting'

i feel like it would benefit from some tall lanterns built at the spawn, and perhaps some in the sea alongside the rocks to the castle

hopefully they can take these ideas into account when the new hub eventaulyl comes : )


oh and also to add to this: whilst i was staff I would deal with (and I think a lot of others do/did this too) ban appeals in the hub as i found the chat too distracting if I were to do it on KitPvP. So coming from someone who used to spend a great deal of time in the hub, it definitely needs updating
