Balloon wars is now confined to certain worlds. This is supposed to keep players who aren't interested in playing happy, and showcase the winning worlds.
I feel like this BW sucks compared to the last two. Most of the fun for me was fighting people EVERYWHERE. The fact that -almost- nowhere was safe made me feel like it was a community wide event, like the Zombie Apocolypse event, which I also enjoy greatly. The previous format of BW caused me to explore worlds I'd never normally enter, and meet people who weren't trading or farming. Most importantly, I felt like there was a reason to cash in stuff for balloons, gems for packs, and a general sense of allegiance to my team. People were letting me use their machines, just so our team could win. That's moderately selfless and one of the few times I've seen consistent selflessness in Growtopia (though the Valentines Cards are also really great.)
I feel like it's ridiculous to confine it to certain worlds just so people don't have to participate. That would be like confining geigers to one world, zombie virus to one world, fishing, etc. Ubi has taken a major, game-wide event and uprooted what it was supposed to be: Game-wide.
