Hypixel SkyBlock Won’t Exist In 2 Years. Here’s Why. 

bro wtf are these random conspiracy theories scattered throughout the video lmaoo

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

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.

cant wait for this video to be 2 years old and to still be playing

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.

Also Skyblock lost it's greatest promoter Technoblade. I honestly think Skyblock wouldn't be nearly as famous without his Potato war series

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.

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.

It’s really nice to see this video aging poorly, 4 different updates have been revealed in the span of a month or so.

i always feel insulted when people say that skyblock is p2w

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.

They seem to be trying to add lots of interesting updates to keep people interested. Hopefully it lasts longer then people think it will.

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"

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Some "facts" in this video are just false. For example, item nerfs or content drought is not as you described. It was way different.

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)

How do you play this on xbox?

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'm so confused I was watching the Premiere yesterday but I wasn't able to type anything in the comment section or even the livestream chat

Alsooo whats the texture pack?

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"

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.

I do agree each update there too busy nerfing but theres a reason for it. Its to keep it more balanced.

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

Before 8 ddosed hypixel, there was a huge player count, after? I noticed that the player count decreased by 3x

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

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.

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

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!

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

My mind blanked out during this video that’s how out of place it was

Hey Deep Fried Sloth! I saw you used my video (witch is very cool) so I appreciate that! and btw I'm subscribed!

“the game is dying because there are too many new players”

i heard that hypixel admin name is also sloth are u the same one or?

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

The garden isn't mostly the issue, it's gemstones

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

Ik for a fact there will be a sudden jump in player count at some point

how did you not even mention crystal hollows but mentioned garden

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

Haven’t played since the slayers and pets update and was gonna get back into the game but guess not

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.

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

"big youtubers" not even 10k views

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’ll still be playing. Need that 100% completion

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.

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

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.

Amazing points dud. I am a new player so i dont know much but i can understand your point of view

30 secs in and “big RU-vidrs” he says are like 33 views

The main reason you see more early/midgame players than late/endgame players is because late/endgame players are the minority, not because they are quitting.

People were saying this 2 years ago and skyblock is better than ever

As long as they don't close the project, for me that's just free private servers

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.

"shortly after, dungeons was released." as if it didnt take an entire year since they announced it in 2019

the only problem I have with this game is they take too long to ban scammers

Hey Bro i really like your videos but are u germany Because u sound a little bit like that

if the admins really invest on the game its gona be good again but rn they aint fixing any problems

the game is too grindy, and the worst thing ( for me ) is that redstone is unable to be used

When the random RU-vidrs 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 😱😱😱

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 RU-vidrs 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.

Nice to see a Moon inspired video :)

I don’t play hypixel skyblock. I played it when it came out on my terrible $200 laptop. It was great. I got locked out of my island after a week for who knows what and waited for 2 months contacting support trying to be able to play again. I gave up after a while. Even then I say hypixel will only die when hytale comes out and even then I don’t know

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

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.

Damn that sucks that is wont exist in 2 years, i still have 3 years of cookie boost rn lol.

ofc they lose players, got banned in the top 100 leaderboards

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

hoW dO yoU kNow?

Can’t die till foraging update 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice video, loving the german accent, me as an endgame player just don't enjoy the game anymore and I'm in the edge of quitting, I actually prefer having smaller but cooler updates than just update where half a brain was used. By that I mean most of the problems an update brings are predictable and the Admins seem like they don't care as much anymore about the game as they used to and I feel sad about it when I see that the community gets more toxic, less helpful and shrinks alot every single day...

Since u can buy cookies for coins now it isnt as much if a p2w if u have a good money making method

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.

I mean now that players are slowly but surely playing though content faster than they can create it, its becoming a problem.

part of this reason is that its nolonger quarantine

I hope they make huge thing like EU hypixel Thid is like a lot of more players and ppl come back cuz good ping and the ppl from that area leave the others servers that have simmler games and join hypixel

i played in prototyp and lost interest after a year because it got to complicated

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

Du unterschätzt wie süchtig die spieler sind lmao

mc as a whole is dying again this isn’t just a skyblock thing

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 RU-vidrs 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.

Yet, Farmville 2 is still there after 11 years lol

That's not true I've as a newer player have seen many more people join with me, completely clueless about the game

I had like 5mil worth of compost when it came out then I come back from 5 days of vacation 100k 💀

I can tell you right now that the total skyblock playerbase is not 1.9k players so uh... nice statistic

Its not extreme pay to win they have limits for cookies and like everything is level locked

People come back, ive done it like 20 times at least. Its burnout then actual motivation after a few weeks

well uhmhmgmgm acktshualy it wil exist with 4 players total maybe (rounded up significantly)

Tbh if hypixel shuts down skyblock for a while then releases is again everyone will be exited

these "big" youtubers that i have never heard of also the only people that get bored are the people who play 24/7

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

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".

unless they pull some big ah updatee
