Suggestion to Improve Opskyblock PvP – Removing Bow Boost for Competitive Battles


Hey Opskyblock team,


I’ve been PvPing on Opskyblock since 2020, playing nearly every day and witnessing firsthand how the PvP scene has evolved. Now i know that Skyblock itself isnt fully focused on pvp but for many players PvP was the main thing on it too, It was full of action, adrenaline, and real strategy—teams prepared for days, trading gear, grinding EXP for gsets, and organizing massive wars against rival groups. The fights weren’t just quick exchanges; they were full-fledged battles where 40–50 players would jump down together, leading to intense, large-scale team fights.


I remember moments after those fights where teams of 20+ players would regroup, celebrating a hard-earned victory, trading loot, and preparing for the next big encounter. PvP was fair because only those who grinded enough EXP had the best gear, and Axe PvP was still an important part of battles since armor would break faster, making fights high-stakes and skill-based rather than never-ending.


But lately, PvP feels less competitive and less exciting, and the biggest issue is bow boost.






Reason(s):
The Problem with Bow Boost


Bow boost has drastically changed the way fights happen. Instead of players committing to battles with their teammates, many now rely on bow boost as an easy escape. This leads to fewer real fights, less intense combat, and a drop in overall participation because fights often end with one side running away instead of properly competing.


  • Fewer team fights: Before bow boost, players wouldn’t just jump down solo—they knew they had to stick with their team to survive and win. Without an easy way to escape, groups would strategize, enter fights together, and adapt to enemy movements, creating an engaging PvP environment.

  • Less competition: The moment a fight gets tough, many players use bow boost to escape, making 1v1s less meaningful and large fights nearly impossible to maintain. People go down thinking they can run whenever they want, so PvP loses its excitement.

  • Discourages grinding: Back when bow boost wasn’t a thing, players had to win the fight through skill, preparation, and teamwork. The best PvPers stood out because of their mastery of combat mechanics, not because they had an overpowered escape tool and having a guy who almost broke every set of yours and now is just running is overly annoying.


Why Removing Bow Boost Would Help


Bringing back PvP without bow boost would reignite competition and restore the pure adrenaline-filled experience that Opskyblock PvP was known for.


  • More strategic team fights: Players would stick together instead of running solo, leading to more organized battles and true PvP wars, just like the old days.
  • Higher participation: With real competition back, more players would be motivated to grind and prepare for battles, increasing server activity.
  • Balanced fights: Instead of one side constantly escaping, PvP would be about skill, tactics, and teamwork, bringing back the thrill of fighting to the last moment.

Example(s):
I’m not asking for all new enchantments to be removed—there has been a lot of work put into developing them. However, removing bow boost alone would bring back the pure emotions, the real team fights, and the high-stakes adrenaline that Opskyblock PvP was built on.


It’s time to revive real competitive battles where players actually commit to fights, strategize, and experience the thrill of victory—or the agony of defeat.


I hope you give this suggestion a serious look—many players feel the same way.


Best regards,

I speak on the behalf of the pvpers of opskyblock including myself, this suggestion is good because it will allow us to get that old pvp style back on opskyblock where it was at it’s peak. Reviving the old roots will make it more thrilling and give us that OG feeling again which we had back in 2019-2020.

Yeah i agree, since although im not an OG opsb player, i can vouch for the style since i've been playing op prison since more than 3 years. removing bow boost will make pvp rely more on RAW skills, rather than engaging, taking 1 hit and running away.

+1 they should also add outposts that affect spawner spawn rate or other spawner buffs to make island top have something to depend on from pvp.

+1, leave the bow boost mechanic to kitpvp, players there are eventually going to engage in fights anyway since thats what you can literally only do there lol while opsb is different.

in opsb, people can just kill one player then dip with their amazing bow boost skills and go back to their usual island grinding without any punish.

make warp pvp for the committed ones again 👍

Im not a fan of this because , the amount of fly hackers has increased drastically. And leo being removed from staff and Ighostly_ resigning makes it worse. I really feel without bow boosting ppl will die a lot to these hackers and as a player who joined like a year ago i can say that as much as i have seen it will be utter chaos.

i have seen both pvp with with and without bowboost and i can assure you a hacker whos just there to abuse and never play seriously can easily be removed and if he flies or if he is very blatantly cheating u cannot escape to him with bowboost unless he comes in direct pvp with u and if ur in gsets u can win the 1v1, but back then people would go in many together for that reason too, to avoid being alone with a cheater down in pvp, and furthermore reviving pvp means more people coming, more activity and therefore more staff members online on opsb/ on pika able to come and remove the hacker, i dont think being scared of hackers is a valid reason of not reviving pika pvp, now u got bow boost that u can rely on when a hacker comes although we dont see any guys pvping down there so whats the point of it? i cannot quite see your point, i prefer an active pvp and a 50 50 risk of meeting a hacker down rather a 100% of not meeting him cus there is no pvp where a hacker can abuse.
