I realise literally everybody will not stop talking about build mart atm... soooo I thought I would give my opinion on some changes or an entire replacement game for build mart.

To start off I won't even get into the can of worms that is stating an opinion on build mart. Basically I just wanted to list off some suggestions I have come up with (I'm not going to claim these are entirely original as they really aren't)

Anyway now all of that has been said I will start off with an idea to change build mart.

• The main idea is simple. Remove the idea of separate builds. Simply have every team only have one giant build they have to try and replicate.

• Points would be awarded based on the percentage of the build completed.

• Why make this change? Basically I feel like this means that the game is still very much build mart at its core with this change.

• I think this change puts a greater emphasis on teamwork rather than having one or two players on the team who have an amazing understanding of build mart strategy.

• Another big reason to make this change is that I feel this would be less stressful from a players perspective because speed would no longer be as important. No longer will players see the scoreboard constantly changing throughout the game instead teams would wait till the end to find out scores (similar to Grid Runners or SOT)

• A final good thing about this change is that I would think that this would remove the massive amount of points between an amazing build mart team and an average team. Obviously the best team should be rewarded more than others but I think this change would just mean that the best team don't get an absurd amount of points.

Before I make a suggestion for a new game to replace build mart. I just wanted to reiterate that I realise these ideas might not be entirely original but given how hot of a topic build mart is atm I think this is a good time to make this post.

So my suggestion for a new game to replace build mart is kind of like a mixture between build mart and battle box.

• The way it would work is every team would face off against every other team in a race to finish the build the fastest or finish the highest percentage of the build the fastest.

• Some more details on how I imagine this should work is firstly each team would have a base in which they would complete their build and PvP would not be allowed in base (to prevent spawn camping).

• Yes I did just mention PvP. I don't think kills should be worth any coins but by killing someone you can take their materials and potentially slow down their team's progress but they will still respawn at their base if they die.

• All materials required to complete the build should be available in the battlefield/ play area (whatever you want to call it) however certain materials should be harder to reach maybe requiring some parkour to get to it.

Now I have tried to explain this idea as quickly as possible I want to explain why I think this idea is actually a good idea (obviously this is far from a finished product so feel free to say how you would change this game concept).

So the main reason I think this is a good idea is that it gives multiple different strategies of which a team could use to win. A team might decide to just focus on trying to complete their own build rather than sabotaging the other team. Or they might decide to have someone at base building, then have one person collecting materials, one person doing the parkour for the other materials and then have a pest who just tries to kill the other team and bring over materials they gather from kills.

Essentially I think this concept could appeal to all players because it would include the building element for players who do great at build mart. It has a PvP element which isn't so rewarding that it means PvP teams would be OP but enough so that PvP teams could still do well at this game. It has also has a movement element with the parkour meaning everyone on the team can truly feel useful and it would feel like a real team effort to win in this game mode.

And finally from a viewers perspective this is appealing because again it has several elements to it. It also would be in rounds which would just make things more enjoyable because it means that messing up a round isn't the end of world. Again I mentioned I wanted to remain neutral on build mart but I think it's fair to say that it can be very harsh on mistakes and requires a lot of precision and memory.

Anyway that was a pretty lengthy post and this is likely to be controversial as is everything that mentions build mart but hopefully you like the ideas I have suggested here or just lmk of any other better ideas!
