All in all a nothing burger wrapped in tantilizing hints that you *could* hold an interesting conversation. But not much more. Hypixel has been pay to win for quite a while. It's doing fine. And say what you want, Hypixel is no Blizzard.
Only 30 seconds in, and what I realize is that it's the super-grinders who get bored. I've been casually playing it since release, sometimes doing small grinds here and there, and I still have tons of things I could choose to do. This stuff sounds like a skill issue. Not in the _low_ skill end, but in the _high_ skill end. SkyBlock will also still exist in 2 years for sure because Hypixel still has tons of other dead games still available.
To hypixels defense, before they released cookies there was a huge IRL trading market with lots of top nw players being involved or profiting from it. Hypixel himself stated that the irl market might make more money than hypixel does with sb, which made up 60-80% of active players back then. So they basically just followed the good old "if you cant beat them, join them" rule
it seems like they "joined them", but then people realize that if there's a legit way to buy coins, then there's no reason to buy coins from questionable sources, so they're also "beating them" and also players can contribute to "improve the server", but the crimson isle is still laggy right now, especially when someone builds up a massive pile of lava sea creatures to kill them later
@@WaylakeAnimations no lol, coin shops sell at 20x cheaper prices. i used to run my own coin shop and we were selling at 0.01 cents per million coins, profitably. and the coins were sourced from ratting
ive been cheating on the server with hacked clients since 2015 and no ban. i love this server because you will never have more than me never quit, because you are my slave and i watch you work for peanuts
This is one of the worst takes In a Long time. The admins have done nothing but delivering great updates for the past year. Many People are still enjoying the game, there Will always be people quitting in every game. Its a humane thing to do, people move on in life. I would not call skyblock p2w since you are not rly galning an advantages over another player. Even if the admins dident add gems into the game people would just go elsewhere to buy coins incouraging ratting and macroing to obtain the coins. Simply because you are moving on and have played the contebt doesent make it a dying or bad game. Many people still enjoy it. I know it has some issues like every other game, but there is still so many good things about it too. Its kind of harsh calling it dying because you are moving on.
Compared to many other mmos hypixel has done a pretty good job. P2W in skyblock is a literal joke unlike in other mmos where people who don't do it are thought to be lesser. Inflation is quite literally unavoidable when to give the power to create money to everyone. All the people I know that have quit due to boredom for the most part took the game to seriously, the cause for this boredom is a lack of proper mindset. Whenever a grind gets boring I swap to something fun and overall don't force myself to do grinds if I don't want to. The main issue currently is a skill cap where grinding skyblock levels become extrordinarily hard as one approaches 400 while gear can always be maxed more with noticeable return considering money is basically free. I really don't see skyblock dying in the near future. The new updates while not the best are showing amazing promise and it is now super easy to get into skyblock as a new player due to the rift.
What we need is more endgame builds and more interconnected skills. Endgame for any skill usually only points to like one set of items with combat having slightly more. Most skills don't funnel into each other like they funnel into combat and I think it'd make the game a lot more fun if they did. Like imagine if in the teased fishing island update we got new crops and new gemstones(maybe even a new tree??) to work with like kelp and aquamarine that could help the fishing skill in someway(not to mention that they have talked about fishing being tied to alchemy later). Once all the skills all have gotten their reworks that they really should focus on interconnecting them to make progression in them feel less like a one way road.
In my opinion, if Hypixel stays active and does events like Dante it will bring back Skyblock. Skyblock just isn't fun when there aren't events that you can look forward too. The Dante event with Technoblade brought back so many players, so now imagine if we had an event similar to that once every year, maybe just a boss where everyone can participate. Another thing why Skyblock was popular and peaked in 2020-2021 was because everything was fun and new. If Hypixel were to announce a mystery event happening in a couple weeks imagine the player base coming back for the event. Also maybe they can add a story of Hypixel Lore like stuff about Barry the ideas are limitless.
most of the reason that skyblock peaked in 2020-2021 was because of the pandemic, also, hypixel is working on it, if you are bored, its just a you problem, you grind too much
@@aaa232ds21it’s honestly a little depressing playing this game knowing the guy who got me into it in the first place isn’t around anymore. Techno was Childhood😢
@@phliped2046 if you saw what I said I said singleplayer as you are doing your own progression and sure you can p2w but in reality you don’t really win anything
@@alvin3698 I suppose, but still p2w is not really something in skyblock and doesn’t affect the community. You can’t pvp or do barely any major player interactions that p2w could affect. So I don’t really think it matters if someone is “p2w” or not
@@andreasbmcc1805 Yeah skyblock is better described as pay to progress rather than pay to win, there's no end goal so there is no winning, It's single player with extra steps so you choose whether you need to pay or not, this acts very differently to something like clash royale, where you are at a clear disadvantage if you don't pay. Furthermore, I don't think I've ever seen someone actually rich because they bought cookies, seems to me that anyone with that much money to throw at skyblock just buys accounts or irl trades, but I'm sure there's a few.
although a lot of "big" youtubers are quiting it keeps the 20000 concurrent players at all times. Even if the admins arent "updating the game" which is just not true there are more and more new players starting to play every day. and yes it can be boring for the endgame players but that is just because they have already dont everything there is to do. Whenever there is an update a lot of players come back even if not for a long time. They do need to think about releasing way less content on alpha because it doesnt make new updates interesting since everyone already knows what its gonna be. However if they up the boundries of their servers, more real time live events will be their saviour.
So what I got from this video is that sb is bad cause: -we have the considered best f2p MMO model with no aggressive p2w elements, but it's still not good enough for me (15h didn't spend a dime on cookies, 1st in Skyblock xp in a year) -new content in the game introduced more inflation?? That's a crazy concept.. How'd that happen. -"Skyblock is not fun for me anymore"
Imma be honest, I think skyblock was perfect until dungeons were added and the power creep started growing to its current state with updates that are only looking to please the endgame players, like have you tried playing on a fresh profile, its incredibly more harsh in comparison to how it was long ago, I remember manually grinding for my tools, getting lapis then miner armor, building a spider and skeleton farm to get runaans bow and grappling hook, manually mining diamonds and killing pigs to get the pigman sword and perfect armor, slowly saving up for dragon armor, it felt genuinely rewarding to get those at the time, like you just made a major breakthrough, now that magic is gone, its all dungeon stuff that matters now and it feels kinda hollow Also I believe 1.0 will be a hard reset for everyone
3:50 i lost my 4 year skyblock account (10 years tho) by probably installing a wrong mod for skyblock and its been a year while i have been trying to get it back to no help, found the guy who bought my account and he gave me it back because the email was suspended, now im fighting Microsoft to prove that it really is my account but they just send me automated emails... dont download unknown links guys!
They are terrible at balancing tho. Berserker and healer need some update and buff. Stop nerfing things, start buffing or inventing newer items. Its stupid for someone to buy something for 100m(idk if there was such item) and then its nerfed to the ground, making item lose so much of its value. Its not a PvP game, only classes should feel equal. Of course if things get to extreme they need a nerf, but that should be rare.
@@lazarsekulic333 bro every class is equally good, arch is for dps, bers is for good clearing and fast speed, healer is to support the team, tank is fkn awsome cuz tank, mage is fkn insane with lcm setup. And it doesnt matter how much a item looses its worth from a nerf when it really is too unbalanced. Just cuz you lost some money cuz an item you had got nerfed doesnt mean that the nerf was bad
@@lazarsekulic333 and why would the classes need a buff, they all are very strong and have there own meaning just like i said in the comment above. It feels like you want every class to deal as much damage as archer and thats unbalanced again so you want unbalanced things but dont want unbalanced things. your opinion doesnt make sense
No Hypixel Skyblock won't die in the next 2 years, yes it's popularity has gone down but that is mostly due to life going back to "normal". When the pandemic hit everyone was locked inside so they had more time to play video games, which lead to a huge increase in player count. But the pandemic is over and people and especially students are going back to normal school. Also Hypixel Skyblock still has between 30-55k players daily, yes i know that it is not nearly as much as they had in 2020 and 2021 but that is because times change, it is still extreamly popular and not "almost dead". Yes the admins don't always make the best decisions but making a working game is not so easy especially as they are working on a very old version of the game. And lastly as long as there are youtubers like Thirtyvirus, Refraction, SwavyL and all the up and coming skyblock youtubers the game won't die. So just because you don't play or like the game and have moved on to other things in your life (which is compleatly ok, most people do it at some point anyway) doesen't mean that other people can't enjoy it or that the game is "dying". Yes i know that you are entiteld to your own opinion and i am not trying to undermine that (even though it might sound like it), but i just want you to look at the "bigger picture", and look at both the bad and good sieds of the game. Sorry for the long comment i have a great passion for the game and seeing people hate at it for really no apparent reason kinda anoys me a bit. The game is not perfect not even close and the admins really need to up their game but i still do and will most likely always play and love Hypixel Skyblock no matter what happens and gameplay in the past 2 uppdates has been quite good. With regards - Tkk
I started playing skyblock today... And for it to get boring for me (I not a super-grinder) it needs to pass idk how many years, and also there's always new players like me (I've seen a lot of lvl0 accounts in the chat clueless what to do) so I don't think it will die in 2 years, it will die with hypixel itself
hypixel's fanbase peeked in 2020 when the pandemic hit but now that things are back to normal the player base has gone down because people are able to get back to their normal lives it is not Dying it is just the fact that people are back to their normal lives and some their life is hypixel they have made a name for themselves streaming and making contend so in conclusion no its not dying it is simply going back to how it was before
I want to say that someone who just started about a month ago and almost has mining and combat level 25 there’s still so much to do… as a new player at first it was overwhelming with the amount of stuff to do and de motivating because there’s so much to catch up on… as a dev I could see how u wouldn’t want to make a game too overwhelming for new players ie slayer quests, pets, catacombs, mining, hexing, tallisman’s crystal hollows and so forth it’s just a lot to comprehend for new players and they don’t want to continually add more and make things more complicated for new players… they make their money from newer players… once u have rank your not really spending a lot of money unless it’s gems that need continus new players so they can sell those new ranks and support the server
I remember playing skyblock for the first time 3 years ago and it was so fun and i actually understood what i should do and how to progress in the game and now after coming back to it 3 years later everything is way to confusing and repetitive
sounds exactly like me, i logged on, cleared my minions, sold the stuff and now with 550M on my bank people say its not alot of money and when i look at the auction house i understand why…. a freakin sword for 6 000 000 000 Coins. When i was playing, 6M was alot😓
To counter some points of this video. 1. Although theres a claim for “pay-to-win”, grinding is still necessary to unlock most items. You need to do your daily enchanting experiments to get high enough enchantment levels to use higher tier enchants, combat for armor and weapons, including slayers, dungeons, and bestiary. And even with current inflated cookie prices, $5 can only get you 14m as of now, and that doesnt even come close for items such as hyperion or terminator. As well as the data you mentioned could be most likely flawed, as you know, 2020, COVID? And most of the ranks are a lifetime purchase, with most not feeling the need to upgrade at all, causing the income to go down. And as you mentioned, its much better to introduce a “legit” way to get coins to combat IRL Trading. 2. While yes, the garden and mining are huge contributors to inflation, you fail to mention sources of coin sinks. Stuff such as taxes on bz and ah, dungeons, dark and darker auctions, and slayers. 3. The admins are focusing on updates, its just that bigger updates require more time to develop, bug fix, and release. Item nerfs happen more often simply because its faster than making an entire update. And items have to get nerfed, its required to keep the game balance healthy. 4. Whether or not skyblock is boring is entirely subjective, if you want to stop playing, just stop. And thats the end of my opinion on the matters mentioned.
for me each starting with the bazzar update made the game worse, i quit shortly after dungeons were released, quitting skyblock is one of the best things ive ever done. wynncraft is so much better in every way
I know the video is a bit older, but still: When speaking about coins coming from the "void", you should also mention the many mechanics where coins also go into the void again.
a year in game dev terms is nothing, i remember when robtop announced in 2017 that update 2.2 would be released in 2018, its now 2023 and 2.2 still hasn't been released
They could also give just a small gap for automation, i desinged 3 iterations of a farm for the garden, desing 1 failed due to no redstone updates, desing 2 to no minecarts, desing 3 which is horrible failed to looking down automatically after falling into the void. Those admins already let me quit twice and the next quit might be permanant.
@@HuntingKingYT i would need about 200-400 minions just to get the same rates which i get with redstone automatisation or minecart automation (Fortune and skills are not in the calculation)
I will say, if their team can release more things similar to the Rift it could save the game. The Rift was a very creative update and added alot of new progression to the game
No youtuber would want that, it killed skyblock youtubers content, sure its good for players but then it would impact youtubers bringing players to the game aswell
as you talked about in the video about the discord scammers i was fool to a trap and lost my 4 years account to it lost everything that I had plus my profile grind (skills) it made me quit for about a half a year but now I came back maybe tried to do things better but if hypixel skyblock is dying I guess theres no point for it the end game things that I had was boring but still 4 years of grind went to trash cuz 1 link
The biggest issue that I find in sky lock is their team of devs and admins are not professional mmorpg game makers. Hypixel skyblock was able to sustain itself via it’s simple system when launched, and overtime gets flooded by different updates and game modes that made the system so complex it will become impossible to play in the future if they continue like this, there are too many things to be grinding in and there are too many issues that they have to deal with. The absolute best solution is to start developing on a new game and have a system similar to hoyoverse games, as it is much easier to be sustained overtime
What Hypixel skyblock was trying to do is to achieve better than wynncraft, in a result, they had the same problem as wynncraft, but in comparison, wynncraft is much more easily managed rather than skyblock due to it’s vast player base, leading to societal errors being demonstrated in their game systems
i think the main problem is that hypixel skyblock losts it's value to its name, it isn't even skyblock anymore. The game will never die because of the undying loyal fan base and the legacy of technoblade and the youtubers. But i think the youtubers are carrying hypixel skyblock
@@SinisterDoge that is certainly a factor and I agree with that a lot, maybe if hypixel SkyBlock was made a couple more years earlier it would have achieved much more.
What we really need is for the admins to DO THEIRJOB. Listen. Do you go to the police when someone steals your stuff, and they tell you off because that was your responsibility to keep your stuff safe? NO. That is not how it is supposed to work. The admins should actually help people who get hacked when they have proof that they aren't using a profile rollback to cheat and etc. The admins need to do their jobs as administrators instead of over-glorified people who own the damn server.
How do you say that Hypixel Studios split from regular Hypixel and then in the next sentence blame Tencent for jacking up regular Hypixel's prices? How dumb can conspiracy believers be lmao
New players are a good thing and well it’s bad to lose players especially old players, there not expected to stay forever. Old players are more loyal, like a friend willing to spend money for you, new ones don’t and even worse there way more less likely to stay. It doesn’t help that the grind is so painfully long that new player don’t feel like spending years to get somewhat end game in the game. It’s to donning for even me.
Hypixel skyblock IS NOT dying! One of the reasons the player count has decreased is because minecraft's popularity decreased, but as long as there are 20+ thousand players online skyblock will stay alive. You have to remember that for a game inside a server inside of a game these numbers are very impressive. (and this guy is saying the game is boring which is only his opinion and its stupid to make a whole video about you getting bored of a game... i just came back after not playing in months and this game is still amazing)
My main thing with it is I got carries early on, now I have little to no way to catch up. It’s now a choice between start over and transfer stuff (and use it when ready) and just quitting.
When the random TH-camrs who have been grinding 30 hours a day for the past 4 years straight with no job or social interactions “unexpectedly” stop playing after they have completed everything in the server 😱😱😱
you forgot to mention they hyped up dungeon for a full year. For myself I quit right before it dropped and being honest I don't think I missed out on anything
I mean great way to get views, but skyblock wont go down lmao, so many people said that in 2021 in about 2 years its gonna be dead, but its still here and the admins are bringing a new update soon
i mean it probably isnt because of the level update but because of you not really into this genre of game (heavily grinding game). It cant be cause of the level update cuz it was actually a good update so it makes no sense that a good update is the reason you started playing less, so it probably was cuz of something else
Started skyblock again after 3 years, and realized how empty the servers are now. Back in time it was so hard to kill animals to make your first minions because of the amount of new players(and those blasting arrow mfs). It feels like a ghost town, and I don't know if it is a good idea to continue.
It’s a ghost town because everyone has moved on. There aren’t enough new players for animals to be competitive, but maybe try zealots, you’ll think the game is full to bursting if you see that.
Great video, glad someone adressed some concerns that I personally shared as well. Skyblock just isn't "fun" to play anymore. It just feels like an endless grind and grind and grind again, over and over again. There needs to be more unique and fun mechanics implemented to save the game.
Let’s be real how much new and “unique” content can you add to a skyblock server before it isn’t “fun” it’s up to the player to continue making it fun. This is why cod still exists. Majority of the competitive player base would say it’s not fun. But they’re still goin and millions still spend hundreds on that game
I recently got hooked on skyblock, and am currently enjoying learning how to grind, progress and have fun playing the game so it's maybe a bit disconcerting to hear that the trend is going downwards. But on a separate note, I noticed that in the editing, it sounded like you cut off your own sentences in too early, and cut them off too soon, strengthening the illusion that you were reading a prepared script. Just some feedback, as it sounded a bit unnatural.
Crystal hollows requires over 100m to have a concerning amount of inflation, which locks most players out of it. Farming however has a cheap setup which means there are so many more players doing it thus making the inflation problem way worse
I just play vanilla skyblock. Not on a server or anything, just my own world. That's what I have been doing for years, ever since skyblock 2.1. I never really got hypixel skyblock. It felt super cheaty to me and I just preferred the vanilla experience.
For all this effort you clearly put into this video, I really wish that effort could have been used for much better reasoning than I saw here. It really just feels like a regurgitation of statements and reasoning already said long before. It didn't make sense then, and it certainly doesn't now. You say "Big TH-camrs are quitting" then proceed to show a video with not even 100 views. You say "Over 66% of players believe Skyblock is dying" in your description, but fail to mention that that's based on your community poll, which is only a tiny fraction of all the unique players on Skyblock. You can't even prove that all the people who voted even play or played Skyblock at *any* point. Updates dedicated to the early game do not contribute to the game dying. In fact, doing that actually helps build a foundation for the next wave of new players to replace the group of veterans who inevitably leave. If you make your updates, but only focus on the players who have been here for years, those newer players will be driven away, and then there will be no group to replace the veterans once they all leave. Want to see gamemodes that focused only on heeding the desires of veterans? Look at Skywars, look at what Bedwars has become. Those are games actually in danger. And you wouldn't consider Rift innovative and unique? Come on man, I wasn't the biggest fan of the content in Rift, but even I could see how different it was. It's ok to admit that you're just growing out of Skyblock. Everyone is gonna at some point.
The game won’t be dead in 2 years. Sure it may not have the same player count but hypixel it self is the biggest Minecraft server. It’s the center of Java multiplayer. No matter if skyblock isn’t updated at all for a year, people will still play. It’s like smaller servers like the archon or mana cube. They still have existing communities even though their servers are 100x smaller and have been around since like 2014. Of course, end game players are not going to play because that’s what they are, end game. You beat the game and if you’re going to spend 200 hours a week playing on a server you shouldn’t expect to have all the fun in the world. Adding new updates won’t help the player base much because the game already has a lot for new players. Think about it. There was like 100,000 people on hypizel at one point, when the game wasn’t developed as much. Now you get all these new items and content and there’s even less people. But you can’t say it’s just the updates Is what drives people, it’s the creators. Techno blade brought out a large part of the player base when the game started, including me. We don’t see any other big TH-camrs like dantdm anymore. It’s not just skyblock, it’s Minecraft. Overall point is that it’s not just the updates, and the game won’t be dead because you already have updates that kept people playing for a reason.
i saw the inflation problem already in past 2021 year, now after 2 tears i joined again and... it fells that nothing has chenged, except admins added a few new areas to grind. So, imo, inflation is not a big problem
Saying hypixel is pay to win is just false. Yes you could spend 700 dollars for a hype but even then you cant buy skills and the only person who would spend that much money is ragetrain. Yes buying gems may be great for some quick cash but is usually not worth it as one would have to spend absurd amounts to get really good gear.
Im surprised it lasted this long, 3 years ago I thought it wouldnt still be alive today, but it is, so I think it’ll stick around atleast until minecraft itself dies, Minecraft will only last another decade. The next generations wont be getting into it.
sloth when you said big youtubers were quitting not a single video had more than 4k veiws, I don't think its right to say that they are "big youtubers".
This aged really poorly lol. From everything I've seen. It just seems like the playerbase is stabilizing. Of course it's not going to every get back to the heights of when techno was promoting them. It's silly to gauge metrics off of that. A consistent 50-60k playerbase with 90-100k peaks is not even in the conversation of dying. This whole thing reminds me of when everyone was saying Wynncraft was dying. When it was really just stabilizing. Different scales but same thing. The only youtubers that I know of that quit were rumored to being RMTers. So they were mad when they added to cookies to combat RMTing. The youtube space for Skyblock is actually pretty strong. Lots of mid to large size youtubers
honestly I don't play anymore I hate doing the dungeons but all my gear I used to use is now dungeon locked so I can't even use them when I could in the past
why does it feel like that this video is made by someone who never logged in skyblock for more than 10 minutes. instead of mention actual issues like laggy gameplay, 2 tps servers and stuff, You really think skyblock will die from balance changes??
i started playing like a week after release but last year i got ratted and all my progress gone, although this is a great game, im not going to be playing a game where all of a sudden i can lose all my progress for a small error and the admins wont care unless im a big creator. its sad how such a great game can be run by such morons
skyblock isn't pay to win, sure you can buy ranks and booster cookies, but they don't really help with progression Same with gems, they're only used to buy skins
Having hundreds of millions of coins at the start definetly does help, dungeons are quite easy when you start with a level 100 leg ender dragon and enough money for maxed necron
The thing I dislike most about video's stating how skyblock/hypixel is dying, and why it's dying, never go indepth into their suggestions into ways to make it better, more enjoyable and overall a better experience. I understand the commentry side where you are only supposed to talk about what is happened, but when you bring up the idea that "it can still be saved", explain how, offer suggestions on improvements that can be made, instead of vaguely saying that they just need to make it more "fun". How are they supposed to do that when you don't offer suggestions on the issues that are happening. It is a fundamental issue with playerbases for games, where players complain about the gameplay and the way things are heading, without providing creative, fun ideas for the developers to get inspiration from. The players develop the game just as much as the developers do.
Honesty, how i view the hate of P2W is when someone pays stuff from another player and that stuff can directly ruin someone's day. Games like ow2 have payed to win features, like heros, that are unique and limiting the games community in obtaining them. Booster cookies doesnt effect anyone but the person who bought it. So i dont understand where the hate is coming from since, it doesnt impact your gameplay nor shouldbyoy even care about a small aspect of the game
The only pay to win thing that ow 2 is heroes but that does not mean you cant get them for free there are chalenges that you can do to unlock the heroes after the season is over or get the hero of the season in the battle pass that you get by just playing the game
Btw you yourself are only skyblock level 109 and havent done anything in the game besides the basic things so i dont think that you out of all people can really say that skyblock is dying, when you barely played the game
@@hogapova i was skyblock level 109 with 200hrs of playtime so idk what you guys saying with 6 months, i said that he didnt experience much cuz i profile checked him and saw that he only hotm 3, didnt even really tuch slayers, is low cata, has no collections, low skill avrg and so on. His profile almost did nothing that really makes skyblock fun so ofc he doesnt like it anymore. His profile just seemed to rush catacombs wich is always bad and does conclude to a person not liking the game

Only 30 seconds in, and what I realize is that it's the super-grinders who get bored. I've been casually playing it since release, sometimes doing small grinds here and there, and I still have tons of things I could choose to do. This stuff sounds like a skill issue. Not in the _low_ skill end, but in the _high_ skill end.
SkyBlock will also still exist in 2 years for sure because Hypixel still has tons of other dead games still available.
If the game's gone in two years then the time I already wasted playing video games would become an even bigger waste due to loss of progress.
@@ChickenIsFried the experience is what everyone will remember, the time playing wont really be as important.

To hypixels defense, before they released cookies there was a huge IRL trading market with lots of top nw players being involved or profiting from it. Hypixel himself stated that the irl market might make more money than hypixel does with sb, which made up 60-80% of active players back then. So they basically just followed the good old "if you cant beat them, join them" rule
it seems like they "joined them", but then people realize that if there's a legit way to buy coins, then there's no reason to buy coins from questionable sources, so they're also "beating them"
and also players can contribute to "improve the server", but the crimson isle is still laggy right now, especially when someone builds up a massive pile of lava sea creatures to kill them later

cant wait for this video to be 2 years old and to still be playing
fr bro its not going anywhere
I hope…
videos almost a year old and im just now getting into the game. i think it will be alright
ive been cheating on the server with hacked clients since 2015 and no ban.
i love this server because you will never have more than me
never quit, because you are my slave and i watch you work for peanuts
1 year passed, people still playing, lets see what happens in another year.
This is one of the worst takes In a Long time. The admins have done nothing but delivering great updates for the past year. Many People are still enjoying the game, there Will always be people quitting in every game. Its a humane thing to do, people move on in life. I would not call skyblock p2w since you are not rly galning an advantages over another player. Even if the admins dident add gems into the game people would just go elsewhere to buy coins incouraging ratting and macroing to obtain the coins. Simply because you are moving on and have played the contebt doesent make it a dying or bad game. Many people still enjoy it. I know it has some issues like every other game, but there is still so many good things about it too. Its kind of harsh calling it dying because you are moving on.
And also as pepole are quitting new pepole are starting like I started playing hypixel Skyblock like 2 weeks ago and it's fun ngl
I mean it is dying tho
@@UnknownPerson-yj7tqI mean AAA. Mahbe mahbe nor
And you ignore the fact that the games player count is in freefall
I just don’t know why it’s popular. It’s not that fun
Also Skyblock lost it's greatest promoter Technoblade. I honestly think Skyblock wouldn't be nearly as famous without his Potato war series
i started playing in 2021 because of him and quit in 2022
He was the reason why I bought Minecraft and went to play on Hypixel. Technoblade never dies
Compared to many other mmos hypixel has done a pretty good job. P2W in skyblock is a literal joke unlike in other mmos where people who don't do it are thought to be lesser. Inflation is quite literally unavoidable when to give the power to create money to everyone. All the people I know that have quit due to boredom for the most part took the game to seriously, the cause for this boredom is a lack of proper mindset. Whenever a grind gets boring I swap to something fun and overall don't force myself to do grinds if I don't want to. The main issue currently is a skill cap where grinding skyblock levels become extrordinarily hard as one approaches 400 while gear can always be maxed more with noticeable return considering money is basically free. I really don't see skyblock dying in the near future. The new updates while not the best are showing amazing promise and it is now super easy to get into skyblock as a new player due to the rift.
You realize cookies are sold to bazaar with coins that already exist and that cookies don't cause inflation at all
@@samuelcharlier4118 Yeah ik what's ur point
@@samuelcharlier4118 In the other hand aome of the coins come from ironman and ironman is 100% invented coins
How is inflation unavoidable? It’s not like they cant limit the daily coins from NPC to the 10m-100m range
@@tallkids-spencerhuyck179 People will use alts and that'd start a whole new group of problems.
What we need is more endgame builds and more interconnected skills. Endgame for any skill usually only points to like one set of items with combat having slightly more. Most skills don't funnel into each other like they funnel into combat and I think it'd make the game a lot more fun if they did. Like imagine if in the teased fishing island update we got new crops and new gemstones(maybe even a new tree??) to work with like kelp and aquamarine that could help the fishing skill in someway(not to mention that they have talked about fishing being tied to alchemy later). Once all the skills all have gotten their reworks that they really should focus on interconnecting them to make progression in them feel less like a one way road.
There is already a lot of end game progression, adding more early game stuff would be healthier for Skyblock
It’s really nice to see this video aging poorly, 4 different updates have been revealed in the span of a month or so.
Same
They seem to be trying to add lots of interesting updates to keep people interested. Hopefully it lasts longer then people think it will.
In my opinion, if Hypixel stays active and does events like Dante it will bring back Skyblock. Skyblock just isn't fun when there aren't events that you can look forward too. The Dante event with Technoblade brought back so many players, so now imagine if we had an event similar to that once every year, maybe just a boss where everyone can participate. Another thing why Skyblock was popular and peaked in 2020-2021 was because everything was fun and new. If Hypixel were to announce a mystery event happening in a couple weeks imagine the player base coming back for the event. Also maybe they can add a story of Hypixel Lore like stuff about Barry the ideas are limitless.
Just don't make the grand finale at 4am for everywhere except America and Britain
gotta grind for the grind@@HuntingKingYT
most of the reason that skyblock peaked in 2020-2021 was because of the pandemic, also, hypixel is working on it, if you are bored, its just a you problem, you grind too much
I feel like skyblock is popular bc of techno, and now that he's passed it might lose the hype.
@@aaa232ds21it’s honestly a little depressing playing this game knowing the guy who got me into it in the first place isn’t around anymore. Techno was Childhood😢
People were saying this 2 years ago and skyblock is better than ever
i always feel insulted when people say that skyblock is p2w
well since it's basically a singleplayer game (because of your own progression) you can choose to be p2w or not
@@phliped2046 if you saw what I said I said singleplayer as you are doing your own progression and sure you can p2w but in reality you don’t really win anything
Feels like the only people who say it’s p2w are the early-mid game people who can’t afford necron
@@alvin3698 I suppose, but still p2w is not really something in skyblock and doesn’t affect the community. You can’t pvp or do barely any major player interactions that p2w could affect. So I don’t really think it matters if someone is “p2w” or not
@@andreasbmcc1805 Yeah skyblock is better described as pay to progress rather than pay to win, there's no end goal so there is no winning, It's single player with extra steps so you choose whether you need to pay or not, this acts very differently to something like clash royale, where you are at a clear disadvantage if you don't pay. Furthermore, I don't think I've ever seen someone actually rich because they bought cookies, seems to me that anyone with that much money to throw at skyblock just buys accounts or irl trades, but I'm sure there's a few.
although a lot of "big" youtubers are quiting it keeps the 20000 concurrent players at all times. Even if the admins arent "updating the game" which is just not true there are more and more new players starting to play every day. and yes it can be boring for the endgame players but that is just because they have already dont everything there is to do. Whenever there is an update a lot of players come back even if not for a long time. They do need to think about releasing way less content on alpha because it doesnt make new updates interesting since everyone already knows what its gonna be. However if they up the boundries of their servers, more real time live events will be their saviour.
admins arent updating???
I also think that it being boring in end-game just means you beat the game, the reason you have nothing to do is because you already did it all.
1 year later and skyblock is still alive
So what I got from this video is that sb is bad cause:
-we have the considered best f2p MMO model with no aggressive p2w elements, but it's still not good enough for me (15h didn't spend a dime on cookies, 1st in Skyblock xp in a year)
-new content in the game introduced more inflation?? That's a crazy concept.. How'd that happen.
-"Skyblock is not fun for me anymore"
Some "facts" in this video are just false.
For example, item nerfs or content drought is not as you described. It was way different.
Imma be honest, I think skyblock was perfect until dungeons were added and the power creep started growing to its current state with updates that are only looking to please the endgame players, like have you tried playing on a fresh profile, its incredibly more harsh in comparison to how it was long ago, I remember manually grinding for my tools, getting lapis then miner armor, building a spider and skeleton farm to get runaans bow and grappling hook, manually mining diamonds and killing pigs to get the pigman sword and perfect armor, slowly saving up for dragon armor, it felt genuinely rewarding to get those at the time, like you just made a major breakthrough, now that magic is gone, its all dungeon stuff that matters now and it feels kinda hollow
Also I believe 1.0 will be a hard reset for everyone
Yesss it was fun before dugeons and the must-have hyperion
My mind blanked out during this video that’s how out of place it was
3:50 i lost my 4 year skyblock account (10 years tho) by probably installing a wrong mod for skyblock and its been a year while i have been trying to get it back to no help, found the guy who bought my account and he gave me it back because the email was suspended, now im fighting Microsoft to prove that it really is my account but they just send me automated emails... dont download unknown links guys!
Me too
"dont download unknown links guys!" No shit sherlock. I learnt that before I turned 10 years old.
I do agree each update there too busy nerfing but theres a reason for it. Its to keep it more balanced.
Yes finally someone gets it thank you so much
this is common sense, they are literally called *balance changes*
They are terrible at balancing tho. Berserker and healer need some update and buff. Stop nerfing things, start buffing or inventing newer items. Its stupid for someone to buy something for 100m(idk if there was such item) and then its nerfed to the ground, making item lose so much of its value. Its not a PvP game, only classes should feel equal.
Of course if things get to extreme they need a nerf, but that should be rare.
@@lazarsekulic333 bro every class is equally good, arch is for dps, bers is for good clearing and fast speed, healer is to support the team, tank is fkn awsome cuz tank, mage is fkn insane with lcm setup. And it doesnt matter how much a item looses its worth from a nerf when it really is too unbalanced. Just cuz you lost some money cuz an item you had got nerfed doesnt mean that the nerf was bad
@@lazarsekulic333 and why would the classes need a buff, they all are very strong and have there own meaning just like i said in the comment above. It feels like you want every class to deal as much damage as archer and thats unbalanced again so you want unbalanced things but dont want unbalanced things. your opinion doesnt make sense
No Hypixel Skyblock won't die in the next 2 years, yes it's popularity has gone down but that is mostly due to life going back to "normal". When the pandemic hit everyone was locked inside so they had more time to play video games, which lead to a huge increase in player count. But the pandemic is over and people and especially students are going back to normal school. Also Hypixel Skyblock still has between 30-55k players daily, yes i know that it is not nearly as much as they had in 2020 and 2021 but that is because times change, it is still extreamly popular and not "almost dead".
Yes the admins don't always make the best decisions but making a working game is not so easy especially as they are working on a very old version of the game.
And lastly as long as there are youtubers like Thirtyvirus, Refraction, SwavyL and all the up and coming skyblock youtubers the game won't die.
So just because you don't play or like the game and have moved on to other things in your life (which is compleatly ok, most people do it at some point anyway) doesen't mean that other people can't enjoy it or that the game is "dying".
Yes i know that you are entiteld to your own opinion and i am not trying to undermine that (even though it might sound like it), but i just want you to look at the "bigger picture", and look at both the bad and good sieds of the game.
Sorry for the long comment i have a great passion for the game and seeing people hate at it for really no apparent reason kinda anoys me a bit. The game is not perfect not even close and the admins really need to up their game but i still do and will most likely always play and love Hypixel Skyblock no matter what happens and gameplay in the past 2 uppdates has been quite good.
With regards
- Tkk
I started playing skyblock today... And for it to get boring for me (I not a super-grinder) it needs to pass idk how many years, and also there's always new players like me (I've seen a lot of lvl0 accounts in the chat clueless what to do) so I don't think it will die in 2 years, it will die with hypixel itself
I WILL KEEP IT ALIVE
hypixel's fanbase peeked in 2020 when the pandemic hit but now that things are back to normal the player base has gone down because people are able to get back to their normal lives it is not Dying it is just the fact that people are back to their normal lives and some their life is hypixel they have made a name for themselves streaming and making contend so in conclusion no its not dying it is simply going back to how it was before
I want to say that someone who just started about a month ago and almost has mining and combat level 25 there’s still so much to do… as a new player at first it was overwhelming with the amount of stuff to do and de motivating because there’s so much to catch up on… as a dev I could see how u wouldn’t want to make a game too overwhelming for new players ie slayer quests, pets, catacombs, mining, hexing, tallisman’s crystal hollows and so forth it’s just a lot to comprehend for new players and they don’t want to continually add more and make things more complicated for new players… they make their money from newer players… once u have rank your not really spending a lot of money unless it’s gems that need continus new players so they can sell those new ranks and support the server
Just pick one thing to work toward then?
I remember playing skyblock for the first time 3 years ago and it was so fun and i actually understood what i should do and how to progress in the game and now after coming back to it 3 years later everything is way to confusing and repetitive
sounds exactly like me, i logged on, cleared my minions, sold the stuff and now with 550M on my bank people say its not alot of money and when i look at the auction house i understand why…. a freakin sword for 6 000 000 000 Coins. When i was playing, 6M was alot😓
@@marv8244it is a lot of money but they’re talking about some of the best weapons in the game so of course It’s Going to be expensive as frick
@@marv8244 550m is alot
To counter some points of this video.
1. Although theres a claim for “pay-to-win”, grinding is still necessary to unlock most items. You need to do your daily enchanting experiments to get high enough enchantment levels to use higher tier enchants, combat for armor and weapons, including slayers, dungeons, and bestiary. And even with current inflated cookie prices, $5 can only get you 14m as of now, and that doesnt even come close for items such as hyperion or terminator. As well as the data you mentioned could be most likely flawed, as you know, 2020, COVID? And most of the ranks are a lifetime purchase, with most not feeling the need to upgrade at all, causing the income to go down. And as you mentioned, its much better to introduce a “legit” way to get coins to combat IRL Trading.
2. While yes, the garden and mining are huge contributors to inflation, you fail to mention sources of coin sinks. Stuff such as taxes on bz and ah, dungeons, dark and darker auctions, and slayers.
3. The admins are focusing on updates, its just that bigger updates require more time to develop, bug fix, and release. Item nerfs happen more often simply because its faster than making an entire update. And items have to get nerfed, its required to keep the game balance healthy.
4. Whether or not skyblock is boring is entirely subjective, if you want to stop playing, just stop.
And thats the end of my opinion on the matters mentioned.
“the game is dying because there are too many new players”
Vice versa
for me each starting with the bazzar update made the game worse, i quit shortly after dungeons were released, quitting skyblock is one of the best things ive ever done. wynncraft is so much better in every way
Video: "Hypixel SkyBlock Won’t Exist In 2 Years"
Me: "Please, play warlords, I love it so much that I'm crying because almost nobody plays it"
We need the warloads update.
I know the video is a bit older, but still: When speaking about coins coming from the "void", you should also mention the many mechanics where coins also go into the void again.
ofc they lose players, got banned in the top 100 leaderboards
no way blud really said at 0:05 “big youtubers” then proceeds to show videos with 3.6K, 6.3K, 4K, 882, and also one with fucking 77 views 🤡😂
"shortly after, dungeons was released." as if it didnt take an entire year since they announced it in 2019
a year in game dev terms is nothing, i remember when robtop announced in 2017 that update 2.2 would be released in 2018, its now 2023 and 2.2 still hasn't been released
Well 2.2 will finally come out in October
(Also why are there so many gd players on skyblock?)
the constant click bait on youtube is annoying
They could also give just a small gap for automation, i desinged 3 iterations of a farm for the garden, desing 1 failed due to no redstone updates, desing 2 to no minecarts, desing 3 which is horrible failed to looking down automatically after falling into the void. Those admins already let me quit twice and the next quit might be permanant.

I will say, if their team can release more things similar to the Rift it could save the game. The Rift was a very creative update and added alot of new progression to the game
No youtuber would want that, it killed skyblock youtubers content, sure its good for players but then it would impact youtubers bringing players to the game aswell
It's just sadly over. It had its time.
@@bearb1asting what?
@@thenglbad3951how

as you talked about in the video about the discord scammers i was fool to a trap and lost my 4 years account to it lost everything that I had plus my profile grind (skills) it made me quit for about a half a year but now I came back maybe tried to do things better but if hypixel skyblock is dying I guess theres no point for it the end game things that I had was boring but still 4 years of grind went to trash cuz 1 link
The biggest issue that I find in sky lock is their team of devs and admins are not professional mmorpg game makers. Hypixel skyblock was able to sustain itself via it’s simple system when launched, and overtime gets flooded by different updates and game modes that made the system so complex it will become impossible to play in the future if they continue like this, there are too many things to be grinding in and there are too many issues that they have to deal with. The absolute best solution is to start developing on a new game and have a system similar to hoyoverse games, as it is much easier to be sustained overtime
What Hypixel skyblock was trying to do is to achieve better than wynncraft, in a result, they had the same problem as wynncraft, but in comparison, wynncraft is much more easily managed rather than skyblock due to it’s vast player base, leading to societal errors being demonstrated in their game systems
In summary Hypixel skyblock is just honkai impact 1 but in Minecraft.
thaumatergiat go brrrr
i think the main problem is that hypixel skyblock losts it's value to its name, it isn't even skyblock anymore. The game will never die because of the undying loyal fan base and the legacy of technoblade and the youtubers. But i think the youtubers are carrying hypixel skyblock
@@SinisterDoge that is certainly a factor and I agree with that a lot, maybe if hypixel SkyBlock was made a couple more years earlier it would have achieved much more.
"big youtubers" not even 10k views
What we really need is for the admins to DO THEIRJOB. Listen. Do you go to the police when someone steals your stuff, and they tell you off because that was your responsibility to keep your stuff safe? NO. That is not how it is supposed to work. The admins should actually help people who get hacked when they have proof that they aren't using a profile rollback to cheat and etc. The admins need to do their jobs as administrators instead of over-glorified people who own the damn server.
How do you say that Hypixel Studios split from regular Hypixel and then in the next sentence blame Tencent for jacking up regular Hypixel's prices? How dumb can conspiracy believers be lmao
this better be a promise skyblock dying would be amazing 🙏🙏😭😭
New players are a good thing and well it’s bad to lose players especially old players, there not expected to stay forever. Old players are more loyal, like a friend willing to spend money for you, new ones don’t and even worse there way more less likely to stay. It doesn’t help that the grind is so painfully long that new player don’t feel like spending years to get somewhat end game in the game. It’s to donning for even me.
Skyblock will still exists in a few years, it isn't dying its just the hard grinders that doesn't have anything left to do
I can tell you right now that the total skyblock playerbase is not 1.9k players so uh... nice statistic
Honestly I still play it cause I like the simple grinding of it when I come home and I don't feel like using my brain.
Hypixel skyblock IS NOT dying!
One of the reasons the player count has decreased is because minecraft's popularity decreased, but as long as there are 20+ thousand players online skyblock will stay alive.
You have to remember that for a game inside a server inside of a game these numbers are very impressive.
(and this guy is saying the game is boring which is only his opinion and its stupid to make a whole video about you getting bored of a game... i just came back after not playing in months and this game is still amazing)
I’ll still be playing. Need that 100% completion

I don't think the only non-competitive Hypixel game is going down that easy.

My main thing with it is I got carries early on, now I have little to no way to catch up. It’s now a choice between start over and transfer stuff (and use it when ready) and just quitting.
Just grind the stuff you would have needed to do those grinds yourself. That way you have the levels to progress past it

mc as a whole is dying again this isn’t just a skyblock thing
I mean great way to get views, but skyblock wont go down lmao, so many people said that in 2021 in about 2 years its gonna be dead, but its still here and the admins are bringing a new update soon
Ima just point out that its very hard to develope a innovative endgame update for a 7 year old minecraft version without destroying the balancing
i feel like the only reason i play the game is out of habit, however lately i've been playing less and less especially with the new levels update
i mean it probably isnt because of the level update but because of you not really into this genre of game (heavily grinding game). It cant be cause of the level update cuz it was actually a good update so it makes no sense that a good update is the reason you started playing less, so it probably was cuz of something else
Play Wynncraft
bro actually tried to pass off the minions as child slavery
Started skyblock again after 3 years, and realized how empty the servers are now. Back in time it was so hard to kill animals to make your first minions because of the amount of new players(and those blasting arrow mfs). It feels like a ghost town, and I don't know if it is a good idea to continue.
It’s a ghost town because everyone has moved on. There aren’t enough new players for animals to be competitive, but maybe try zealots, you’ll think the game is full to bursting if you see that.
no one kills animals anymore because they already got the minions. Try going to islands people need to and its not a ghost town at all
the only problem I have with this game is they take too long to ban scammers
Great video, glad someone adressed some concerns that I personally shared as well. Skyblock just isn't "fun" to play anymore. It just feels like an endless grind and grind and grind again, over and over again. There needs to be more unique and fun mechanics implemented to save the game.
Let’s be real how much new and “unique” content can you add to a skyblock server before it isn’t “fun” it’s up to the player to continue making it fun. This is why cod still exists. Majority of the competitive player base would say it’s not fun. But they’re still goin and millions still spend hundreds on that game
@@BaggedWaterThe only people that still play cod are the people who never played the previous cods.
Its not skyblock that won't exist in 2 years it hypixel itself.
how did we get to talking about tencent and blackrock
I recently got hooked on skyblock, and am currently enjoying learning how to grind, progress and have fun playing the game so it's maybe a bit disconcerting to hear that the trend is going downwards.
But on a separate note, I noticed that in the editing, it sounded like you cut off your own sentences in too early, and cut them off too soon, strengthening the illusion that you were reading a prepared script. Just some feedback, as it sounded a bit unnatural.
Dont worry about it. Ive been around for a bit and once in a while a video about quitting sb or the end of it pops up but it's still around lol
Can’t die till foraging update 🔥🔥🔥🔥
you are the thing that will not be existing in two years
how did you not even mention crystal hollows but mentioned garden
Crystal hollows requires over 100m to have a concerning amount of inflation, which locks most players out of it. Farming however has a cheap setup which means there are so many more players doing it thus making the inflation problem way worse
I just play vanilla skyblock. Not on a server or anything, just my own world. That's what I have been doing for years, ever since skyblock 2.1. I never really got hypixel skyblock. It felt super cheaty to me and I just preferred the vanilla experience.
As long as they don't close the project, for me that's just free private servers
For all this effort you clearly put into this video, I really wish that effort could have been used for much better reasoning than I saw here. It really just feels like a regurgitation of statements and reasoning already said long before. It didn't make sense then, and it certainly doesn't now.
You say "Big TH-camrs are quitting" then proceed to show a video with not even 100 views. You say "Over 66% of players believe Skyblock is dying" in your description, but fail to mention that that's based on your community poll, which is only a tiny fraction of all the unique players on Skyblock. You can't even prove that all the people who voted even play or played Skyblock at *any* point.
Updates dedicated to the early game do not contribute to the game dying. In fact, doing that actually helps build a foundation for the next wave of new players to replace the group of veterans who inevitably leave. If you make your updates, but only focus on the players who have been here for years, those newer players will be driven away, and then there will be no group to replace the veterans once they all leave. Want to see gamemodes that focused only on heeding the desires of veterans? Look at Skywars, look at what Bedwars has become. Those are games actually in danger.
And you wouldn't consider Rift innovative and unique? Come on man, I wasn't the biggest fan of the content in Rift, but even I could see how different it was.
It's ok to admit that you're just growing out of Skyblock. Everyone is gonna at some point.
The game won’t be dead in 2 years. Sure it may not have the same player count but hypixel it self is the biggest Minecraft server. It’s the center of Java multiplayer. No matter if skyblock isn’t updated at all for a year, people will still play. It’s like smaller servers like the archon or mana cube. They still have existing communities even though their servers are 100x smaller and have been around since like 2014. Of course, end game players are not going to play because that’s what they are, end game. You beat the game and if you’re going to spend 200 hours a week playing on a server you shouldn’t expect to have all the fun in the world. Adding new updates won’t help the player base much because the game already has a lot for new players. Think about it. There was like 100,000 people on hypizel at one point, when the game wasn’t developed as much. Now you get all these new items and content and there’s even less people. But you can’t say it’s just the updates Is what drives people, it’s the creators. Techno blade brought out a large part of the player base when the game started, including me. We don’t see any other big TH-camrs like dantdm anymore. It’s not just skyblock, it’s Minecraft. Overall point is that it’s not just the updates, and the game won’t be dead because you already have updates that kept people playing for a reason.
i love how he said "big youtubers" and then put a video that got 77 views lol also literally all of those video have less than 10k views bruh
i saw the inflation problem already in past 2021 year, now after 2 tears i joined again and... it fells that nothing has chenged, except admins added a few new areas to grind. So, imo, inflation is not a big problem
Before 8 ddosed hypixel, there was a huge player count, after? I noticed that the player count decreased by 3x
Saying hypixel is pay to win is just false. Yes you could spend 700 dollars for a hype but even then you cant buy skills and the only person who would spend that much money is ragetrain. Yes buying gems may be great for some quick cash but is usually not worth it as one would have to spend absurd amounts to get really good gear.
People come back, ive done it like 20 times at least. Its burnout then actual motivation after a few weeks
Im surprised it lasted this long, 3 years ago I thought it wouldnt still be alive today, but it is, so I think it’ll stick around atleast until minecraft itself dies, Minecraft will only last another decade. The next generations wont be getting into it.
sloth when you said big youtubers were quitting not a single video had more than 4k veiws, I don't think its right to say that they are "big youtubers".
This aged really poorly lol. From everything I've seen. It just seems like the playerbase is stabilizing. Of course it's not going to every get back to the heights of when techno was promoting them. It's silly to gauge metrics off of that. A consistent 50-60k playerbase with 90-100k peaks is not even in the conversation of dying. This whole thing reminds me of when everyone was saying Wynncraft was dying. When it was really just stabilizing. Different scales but same thing.
The only youtubers that I know of that quit were rumored to being RMTers. So they were mad when they added to cookies to combat RMTing. The youtube space for Skyblock is actually pretty strong. Lots of mid to large size youtubers
the title is a lie
you’re a tume traveler?
honestly I don't play anymore I hate doing the dungeons but all my gear I used to use is now dungeon locked so I can't even use them when I could in the past
why does it feel like that this video is made by someone who never logged in skyblock for more than 10 minutes.
instead of mention actual issues like laggy gameplay, 2 tps servers and stuff, You really think skyblock will die from balance changes??
the game is too grindy, and the worst thing ( for me ) is that redstone is unable to be used
i started playing like a week after release but last year i got ratted and all my progress gone, although this is a great game, im not going to be playing a game where all of a sudden i can lose all my progress for a small error and the admins wont care unless im a big creator. its sad how such a great game can be run by such morons
skyblock isn't pay to win, sure you can buy ranks and booster cookies, but they don't really help with progression
Same with gems, they're only used to buy skins
Bro stfu u can get ur whole purse with cookies and buy jerry boxes and max out ur Skills 💀
Having hundreds of millions of coins at the start definetly does help, dungeons are quite easy when you start with a level 100 leg ender dragon and enough money for maxed necron
Haven’t played since the slayers and pets update and was gonna get back into the game but guess not
that was a WHILE ago
skyblock wont be deleted cuz if they remove it they lose like 45 percent of players
Hey Bro i really like your videos but are u germany Because u sound a little bit like that
The thing I dislike most about video's stating how skyblock/hypixel is dying, and why it's dying, never go indepth into their suggestions into ways to make it better, more enjoyable and overall a better experience. I understand the commentry side where you are only supposed to talk about what is happened, but when you bring up the idea that "it can still be saved", explain how, offer suggestions on improvements that can be made, instead of vaguely saying that they just need to make it more "fun". How are they supposed to do that when you don't offer suggestions on the issues that are happening. It is a fundamental issue with playerbases for games, where players complain about the gameplay and the way things are heading, without providing creative, fun ideas for the developers to get inspiration from. The players develop the game just as much as the developers do.
Hey Deep Fried Sloth! I saw you used my video (witch is very cool) so I appreciate that! and btw I'm subscribed!
Du unterschätzt wie süchtig die spieler sind lmao
Honesty, how i view the hate of P2W is when someone pays stuff from another player and that stuff can directly ruin someone's day. Games like ow2 have payed to win features, like heros, that are unique and limiting the games community in obtaining them. Booster cookies doesnt effect anyone but the person who bought it. So i dont understand where the hate is coming from since, it doesnt impact your gameplay nor shouldbyoy even care about a small aspect of the game
THATS WHAT IM SAYINNNNN
The only pay to win thing that ow 2 is heroes but that does not mean you cant get them for free there are chalenges that you can do to unlock the heroes after the season is over or get the hero of the season in the battle pass that you get by just playing the game
@@Conductor01 I've only heard that ow2 is p2w cause of no access to hers, I don't play it 🗿
these "big" youtubers that i have never heard of
also the only people that get bored are the people who play 24/7
Btw you yourself are only skyblock level 109 and havent done anything in the game besides the basic things so i dont think that you out of all people can really say that skyblock is dying, when you barely played the game
skyblock 109 is at least 6 months of healthy playing time
@@charana538idk about 6 months but yea its like getting to/at midgame
@@hogapova i was skyblock level 109 with 200hrs of playtime so idk what you guys saying with 6 months, i said that he didnt experience much cuz i profile checked him and saw that he only hotm 3, didnt even really tuch slayers, is low cata, has no collections, low skill avrg and so on. His profile almost did nothing that really makes skyblock fun so ofc he doesnt like it anymore. His profile just seemed to rush catacombs wich is always bad and does conclude to a person not liking the game
@@kainosta1838 yea im at 91 with 300 hrs mostly cuz i keep on farming lol. Maybe he meant 6 month profile life? Even then its a big stretch though.
@@hogapova yeah i meant profile life not playtime lol
Ik for a fact there will be a sudden jump in player count at some point
