[GAMING/MINECRAFT] An introduction to Mega Walls

Play Mega Walls on Hypixel's server

mc.hypixel.net

If you play Minecraft haven't heard of Mega Walls, you might live under a rock. Ok, maybe it's not THAT big of a deal, but Mega Walls is one of the latest new games Hypixel server.

If you don't know what The Walls (Mega Walls precursor) is, look it up now, because I'm going to assume you already know about The Walls from here on out.

Essentially, Mega Walls is The Walls 2.0. Notable changes include:

• the field is now a plus instead of a square, leaving a lot more battleground in the middle of the team's areas.
• the teams are made of 25 players each, for 100 players total.
• there are only 10 minutes to prepare instead of 15
• there are starter kits for different classes
• each team has a wither that they must defend

Obviously, if you've never played Mega Walls before, you're probably wondering about that wither... each teams wither will remain immobile and, for the first 15 minutes after the walls fall, will defend himself against other teams, but he will not attack his team members. Rather, you will gain regen while near your wither. Withers have 1000 HP instead of 300, will not launch their normal wither skull attacks, and will not regenerate their HP. They will still become immune to arrows at 50% HP. Finally withers will slowly take damage even when not being attacked until they have 1 HP left, at which point a player will have to attack it in order to finish if off.

If a player dies while their wither is alive, they will respawn with their starter kit, but all other items obtained will be dropped on death. Once a wither dies, things get serious. If you die, that's it. you're out of the game.

So already this probably sounds like a pretty exciting game, and indeed it is. Mega Walls is so amazing because there's just so much to do at any given time. Attack other teams, defend your wither, build/fortify physical defenses, gather iron to make armor and weapons, scout for enemy players going stealth, break down enemy defenses, or even attack a wither head on.

the problem with this is that most players will simply choose to attack other teams, and not many players will try to help out with defense or support jobs... this is due to what i like to call the jerk to team player ratio, which in my experience is usually 80% jerk, 20% team player. often times, other teams will quickly go after your wither and then, with all your team members scattered doing whatever the heck they feel like, they quickly die off and boom, your team has lost.

You might not think the team that you join matters, but it does. i HIGHLY recommend you avoid green like the plague. A while ago it was publicized that green was the best team having a nearly 50% win ratio, but since then it has become polluted with noobs and jerks, and is basically the worst team you could have now. I've also never seen yellow win a single game... red is pretty popular, and I expect subject to the same disease that has taken green, so this minecrafter recommends the blue team.

Classes are indeed important, however non-donors will have only 5 to choose from, and 2 of them are VERY expensive. You'll usually be using either Skeleton, Creeper, or Zombie, until you donate for Enderman and Herobrine or else save for months to buy Dreadlord or Shaman.

Skeletons are my personal favorite, getting a bow and arrows. If you hit a player with an arrow, it will be returned to your inventory (basically infinity if you have good aim). their skill is to launch an explosive arrow that does block and player damage. Skeletons are useful all around, and their ranged attacks make them good in distanced combat.

Zombies are a defensive / tanking / healing class. their special ability heals themselves and nearby teammates and they spawn in with a chest plate. Zombies are really good as a last line of defense near the wither.

Creepers are just what you think. their special skill is the cause in explosion. (luckily it's not a suicide mission like real creepers!) creepers have a wooden sword and leggings in their kit. Creepers are good at infiltrating enemy areas are causing massive damage to their defenses to clear the path for other players.

I do not have VIP nor have i bought either of the HERO classes, so i'll do my best to describe the rest of the classes, but there's a lot i don't know about them...

Enderman are stealth masters. Their special skill is to teleport (duh...). I don't know what enderman get in their starter kit.

Herobrine is a unique class. I know nothing about it, and very few people pick it...

Dreadlord is as powerful as it sounds. It's a melee master. it spawns in with an iron sword (upgrade-able to diamond!) and it's special skill launches wither skulls that cause massive damage! Dreadlords are a powerhouse, so watch out.

Shaman was just released a while back, and i've never seen anyone play it. I know nothing about it.


so there you have it: An introduction to Mega Walls. I hesitate to call this a minigame, as it's really more of an all out war! remember, if you wanna join in on the fun go to mc.hypixel.net
