I think that the new firework elytra booster is a bit, unfair especially for people like Tyberia who spend months to make a wall what are your thoughts on the new feature that will be added in 1.11.2?

Yes I know this is short but I just want to see what everyone thinks.

Keep it as is. You're still going to use up resources eventually. And there's already the risks run with Elytra already, such as falling from the sky, crashing into places, getting stuck in leaves and fences, etc.

As for jumping over walls, there have been ways to do it already without the fireworks, like pearling over or making some crazy launcher to move you up with slime blocks. This change I don't see impacting PvP, since you will still need to swap to a chest plate once you land, and swap out some stuff.

There's also the whole losing durability, so eventually you will have to land, whenever that may be.

People have done sky raids before on the server. All this change would do is encourage defenders to actually fight if things go over their walls. Or you can do the foolproof solution, and hide behind a door.

The way I see it, worrying about somebody flying into your base is pointless. Hide indoors, or fight. I'm going to stop before I go into a whole rant that's been preached before on here.

As a guy with a 5 block high faction wall and no PvP activity to speak of, I'm perfectly fine with the fireworks elytra in place. It's fun and would allow people to explore the maps, both of which I think are more important that worrying about raiders knocking on your rooftops.
 
You can already get over walls with elytra using a punch 2 bow, this just makes it faster. No reason to disable it just to keep people from getting over your walls which you can already get over.
 
And fireworks might encourage some sort of Aerial PvP, as Fireworks can allow infinite flight and is a lot dangerous, easier to use, and can be used efficiently in combat. I'm not really a PvPer, but I really enjoy abstract, uncommon PvP, so I think Aerial PvP would be a very interesting thing to see.

Probably not, will still be just about impossible to hit someone :P

I mean this is exactly the same as Flywater PvP but even worse and in the air and it consumes items to fight xD
 
I mean... is massive ever even gonna update? For 1.9 and 1.10 there were staff pre-update threads weeks before the actual upgrade and we havent seen anything about 1.11 officially at all

I mean, there was that faction fiasco recently. And on the plus side 1.11.1 and up aren't compatible with 1.11, so waiting seemed to have worked out nicely.
 
I don't know much about massive's problems with this, but I really hope we get rocket elytras. It sounds so fun! XD
