    The current issue we're having with the Snipe box is the amount of users all opening the same chest, and stacked up in one area, causing lag. This is easily avoidable if we do the following:

    ** The design is completely rough, and is meant to just demonstrate the chest layout **

    As you can see, if we setup 4 chests in each corner of the Snipe room, this will not only prevent the lag caused by a large sum of users opening the same chest, but also add the suspense hoping you're in the right chest.

    Work as a team to get max profit, set each of your friends in a corner, and get ready! The more people you work with, the better the odds!

    I haven't done snipe recently, has it started lagging?

    But also, if someone is doing a snipe, you'll see which chest he's near, and you'll go for that one.


    Mixed feelings on this idea...

    Of course...

    But it eliminates the lag from everyone in the exact same chest, and everyone standing ontop of each other. People will be spread out.

    Exactly, follow him, not everyone will see the Sniper, try to keep an eye on him.

    Andrew has said we needed a new design for snipe, so here it is. ^.^

    Adding on, there should be hoppers dropping from one chest to all of the four chests, that would be cool so andrewkm doesnt have to keep moving around.

    He could switch from chest to chest just by flying, I doubt it would be that difficult, hence not a bunch of people will be bunched up flying blocking the chests.

    I guess it would be a good idea. I rarely use snipe as it is.


    Hoppers aren't allowed.

    I still like regular snipe, I don't want to have to deal with 3 other chests. Maybe one day this can be added as "Super Team Snipe" or something?

    No, he'd have to unban them for the entire mainworld. When they're banned, they're banned, unless he unbanned em, not even he could place them.

    In the case of hoppers, I believe they can cause duping... Andrew would not allow duping, even for a competition like Snipe Box. (As well, anyone could fly up and catch what he throws.)

    For and against this. Would be a nice change, but four chests for one person is a bit much, I think. Flyers could get to the chest he is at and start taking everything before anyone else could.

    If Sky or someone was helping and two chests were always active, that would be good.

    It would be a lot better if you had 2 chests. One on top of the other. Would split traffic in half, and would be rather difficult to really tell which one he was opening.

    Yeah, two chests would be fine.

    I just wrote this up quickly to generalize the possibility of having multiple chests in play.
