If you want to have exploding arrows in Skywars, buy Gold rank or higher. Hope this helps @RegentAgent
I highly disagree with this, mainly because the explosive are barely a perk, anyways. The only purpose they serve is to blow up dirt/wood, and they can't even be toggled. I would rather see other features, maps and goodies added than distributing what little we already have. Ancient keys can be bought, but there is a very small chance that you might obtain one from a voting key. I would compare this situation to Clash of Clans; sure, you can save up and eventually, maybe get the gems/keys you want. Or, you can buy them and see them in your inventory instantly. P2W does not always mean an object in only obtainable by paying, but rather it is much easier to obtain or use when you do pay. Anyways, that's just my two cents. Instead of changing up the current features, I would rather see new ones (/togglearrows) added. :)
Explosive arrows aren't nearly as good as everyone makes them out to be. Like Zonafer said, pretty much their only purpose is breaking dirt platforms. When you shoot someone with an explosive arrow there's like a 90% chance it won't do any knockback at all. Which is annoying for Skywars, a gamemode that is literally based around travelling to other islands and fighting players. I'd much rather see a way to disable them added for people who already have it.
Heyo! As Ankh said, I hate explosive arrows. Unless there is a scaffolder not using anti-fall and is using dirt, I don't see much upside to this. I believe a combination should be made: A feature to disable to explosive arrow effect and a kit for those Rookie - Iron players who actually prefer it. I like the idea, just not explosive arrows itself. Hope you have a wonderful day or night!
As many people above me have pointed out, explosive arrows are not actually that great. I would much rather have my arrows deal knockback than have them explode. I am pretty decent at shooting, and having my arrows deal kb would allow me to knock people bridging with cobblestone off from across the map. Being able to toggle the explosive arrow perk would be really nice and should of been added in the first place. Making it so people that do not have Gold+ can have the explosive arrow perk would essentially devalue the gold rank, so I don't really see MCC making it so everyone can have exploding arrows.
I'm a decent shooter in CTF and Murder Mayhem too @JapanCrafter, but not as good in Skywars or Cakewars. But this perk is a good idea, but the webstore says Gold and above for guaranteed explosive arrows.
Regent said in the very beginning of his message that he is aware that the perk is for Gold+... He's suggesting an update to that perk, since the explosive arrows are not worth buying Gold rank and generally worthless overall. Arrows with more knockback or a stronger ability to explode (Destroying stone) would be much more ideal and actually worth the donation to receive the perk.
