Bring back gold bricks from classic

I know they're kind of pointless but I think that gold bricks are ascetically pleasing and fun to use. I'd really like to see the transition of gold bricks from classic to beta. Please cast a vote on your opinion of gold blocks returning. If you've never played classic: Gold bricks cost 10 gold and look like stone wall but golden and solid. They have no purpose but look nice.

I think that this would just cause lots of griefers/noobs wasting all the gold on a fancy tower
however it would look nice

 

There was litterally no use for gold blocks in classic. They really don't even look that good. The only reason why people ever used them was when they were blocking something and ran out of something else to use.

I see no point in adding it.

 

Actually they were quite useful as Kouji also added, such that you could store the excess gold close to your tent. In that way ,people running around "I need 10 gold plz !" would just need to get their missing amount from this stockpile.

P.S. For those who perhaps don't remember: You used to get your material back when you hit the gold block as a builder.

 

I've seen good use of golden bricks in 'Australian Zombie server'. They look like yellow bricks but I think the devs could do something more complex.

 

I have a bit of an obsession with gold (see my username) so I was pretty sad when it wasn't in full KAG. They could potentially change some properties of the gold brick to make it more useful, but don't ask me what that would be.

 

Has sundered kingdom taught you nothing?! Dinghies, my nigga!

But seriously, being able to store excess gold as blocks was handy in classic. So long as they're more quickly minable than they were in classic, maybe 1 hit breaks one block?

why would you stock your gold, just use it. not mining it is the same as stocking it...
the fuck is this thread

 

You mine it so the enemy can't mine it and so kegs/bombs don't destroy it in the middle of the battlefield. Derr.

 

since when there's gold in the middle exposed to kegs and bombs

 

i've seen surface gold in the middle of a map before

 

I said yes and no.

 

then tell the server owner he cant into maps

 

A reasonable property would be to decrease the wallwalk/jump, so enemies wouldn't climb it so easily. Not sure if any of you guys happen to have a golden wall on your backyard, I do, and it is hard as fuck to climb it

 

i like that

 

I can see points for both sides of the arguments, it does provide a good way to stockpile but it can lead to peopl;e wasting the gold.

The deciding factor however just has to be

 

Someone needs to get on this soon. This is amazingly awesome. Plus... the voting is at about 23 to 7 at the time I'm posting this. Plus, what's better than a statue to the all glorious penis god made out of gold? That's right. Nothing.
