I use quick play a lot just to prac or warm up
but I find quick play extreme boring because of the seeds, always very long or puts you in horrible location and takes a long time to even complete 1 on the board

the opponents usually are new or low ranked so they pick whatever so it ends up being mid+-long game drafts

idk if this is good idea just thought it might be good to put it here

what do you mean by “smaller”?

Threadfinn2 months ago

Do you mean limiting the goals more?

Threadfinn2 months ago

Or do you actually mean making the seed smaller like adding a world border?

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

I mean by having goals fit more the seed
so quick play
will actually be quick play

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

idk if I explained it good (probably not) but Imo quick play feels really heavy when playing

always spawns in the worse places (legit nothing around) and the drafts just dosent fit like it does in comp

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

@awesomeSallad ^

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

I always feel like Im running 1k blocks just to get 1 mission because seeds or spawns are just really really weird

just an example I thought of
many times in quick play you spawn in dark oak with jungle and jungle have no temple and literally nothing around you

no sea no village no anything so you end up running for years

maskers2 months ago

so quick play will actually be quick play

i mean its still limited at 30 minutes

StarFaint2 months ago

So instead of checking an A x A area around spawn it would check a B x B area? (B < A)

maskers2 months ago

some of the goals like ride a pig dont have any check i think

StarFaint2 months ago

It does't need one.

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

yeah It is but
the point is not to wait for time end

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

idk what it means

StarFaint2 months ago

I did reach the 30m limit a few times.

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

me as well but many times
and the scoreboard was not close at all really like off missions

maskers2 months ago

idk i like some games being faster and some games being slower, i remember someone (rowl?) talking about giving easier goals to lower elo players in quickplay on average, i think this would be good

StarFaint2 months ago

The game would check a smaller area around spawn for biome/structure/resource dependant goals.

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

sounds good
im at 1200 elo but I find myself struggle doing missions in quick play because of seeds

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

oh then yeah something like that
not necessarily have to be really really close but close enough so you can see it

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

instead of taking a 1k run gamble just to end up doing 1-2 missions

maskers2 months ago

close enough so you can see it

thats basically how filters work right now, no?

StarFaint2 months ago(edited)

Something like 0.8x the area?'

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

in quick plays not really

I might do more quicks plays and record the area around

and make new suggestions with proofs

maskers2 months ago(edited)

^ like i remember running for a village for a while for trade with villager but i assume thats just because its not filtered for at all

maskers2 months ago(edited)

i feel like exploring is an important enough part of draftout to just remove it and make it optimal to always stay within 32rd of spawn, for stuff like

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

actually now I think about to

"filter missions" is good idea

kill the warden and stuff like this should not be in quick play lol

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

I agree

maskers2 months ago(edited)

pretty sure enter end isnt in quickplay though idr why am i sure of it, so warden might not be too already

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago(edited)

im not sure but I laugh with my opponent 2 days ago about having it in our draft

(we end up in the same quick plays twice and right after in same comp)

maskers2 months ago

might not be

oh well nvm then

Tom2 months ago

Quick play is already super quick and there aren't end goals in it

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

when was the last time you play quick played

Tom2 months ago

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

wtf

SparkFire_2 months ago

Btw dont most of the seed filters check for stuff within 400 blocks?

Threadfinn2 months ago

Generally just the things that can only be done in specific biomes.

Threadfinn2 months ago

Like kill warden filters for deep dark, breed frogs filters for swamp etc.

Threadfinn2 months ago(edited)

But trade with villager isn't filtered currently because you need a structure not a biome

Threadfinn2 months ago

Some of the goals are filtered for the mobs at the spawn structure though, for witch/pillager goals

Threadfinn2 months ago

Generally the filter is pretty good, but some things still might be hard to find.

Threadfinn2 months ago

Like there's always going to be a geode near spawn, but that doesn't mean you can find it.

nakedhippo219587OP2 months ago

I find the stuff in quick play is insanely random then it is in comp

well in comp you get 9 more on board so you get more options to do in spawn

SparkFire_2 months ago

Could always revert quickplay to 5x5 but reduce goals needed to win, which would solve the issue of having nothing to go for (which isnt always the biggest problem) and would give more options for routes
The problem with this is probably that it takes away a pretty important part of the game - being able to snipe goals in such a way that they are forced to contest goals you have a lead on (This might not need to be as much of a focus in qp as the vast majority of players are people new to the gamemode)

isawabelle2 months ago

reducing the number of goals to win from just over half the board just is so unintuitive and makes no sense
the game ends when its physically impossible for your opponent to win, and changing that is just not how lockout bingo works

SparkFire_2 months ago

Yeah that makes sense ig
