Hello there!

Recently, I have become very sick of Survival Games after playing it very often for around the last 6 months. Do not worry, this is not a thread moaning about hackers or teamers. I'm here to get your guy's opinions on how I can make SG new and interesting again. So my question is, when you're a bit tired of all of the same stuff, what do you do to make it more interesting to play? Stuff like challenges or different techniques, please don't just say 'take a break' :p

Thanks in advance to those who reply, hopefully this'll help me and others with the same feeling.

Try playing around with friends, it's get fun watching each other mess up. xD Also try recording and uploading videos, and include commentary. That's what I do. If you want to play around with a group of people, join a clan?

Adding on to this, if you want to play with friends, try the Spectator Games.

It's when you and your friend/s alternate turns playing games and the others watch them play. When they die, it's the next person's turn and if they win it's their turn again.
It's great watching your friends play (and calling them bad when they die ^-^) and having them watch you makes you play better, too.

And of course you can always add stuff like challenges onto it too. :p

Having played a lot of games and never really got bored, I can definitely say that taking a break helps. I know you didn't want to hear that, but it's true. I also know that being worse at MCSG can actually make it seem more exciting. Players who sit with their gaming keyboards and NASA computers, winning half of their games tend to be the ones who complain about getting bored. This is just my opinion, please don't flame me about it... Here are a few other things you might try.
  • Play with friends
  • Join a clan
  • Play with a purpose other than winning, e.g., to make someone laugh, to get a beginner their first win, to just enjoy the scenery of the map, to make a friend, etc...
  • Do challenges
  • Try to play on a higher level, or try to understand deeper tactics and strategies
  • Record your games for your channel
  • Play with music in the background, so it is more of a leisurely activity

I can relate, except those 6 months were 2 years for me. :p

I kind of lost interest in Minecraft in general, and in turn started drawing and making videos more. I still like to play it, but I don't care as much about my stats or hackers, and I find it more fun to play with friends. It's funny how we all get annoyed by teamers, but teaming in itself is probably the most fun thing to do on MCSG in my opinion. I very rarely team to win, but I enjoy teaming with my IRL friends over a skype call to have fun. Another good thing to do is take a break, and come back when they've added new maps and other cool things to refresh your interest.

Play a little bit less, and explore other aspects of Minecraft is my first suggestion however if you still want to actively play MCSG at the rate that you do, I recommend doing challenges or joining a clan.

For the challenges, I must say that SixZoSeven is rather skilled at making up or publicizing some fun or interesting challenges. I'm sure you could get a couple of suggestions from him c:

Well, once I get bored of SG, I tend to hop onto the BattleGrounds servers to practice PvPing.

Another great idea is to play with friends, there is nothing better to do than play with a friend or make some new friends along the way.

I also just muck around in most games such as making people laugh, etc.

Lastly, once I get bored, I forum, I guess you could call it an addiction. :(

What i do is set me challenge within that game for example if its boring then my challenge light at least 2 people on fire this match next match at least kill 1 guy using the bow and the bow only. It really depends also try use a different texture pack tbh it makes you feel all bubbly inside and fresh!.

Well, I generally go on ROXBOT as it's pretty much one of my favorite servers. It's Kit PvP and it really helps me practice, whether it be fighting, or running from a cleanup.
