People cling too hard to the past. If PVPers had just tried to adapt to the change rather than fighting it I think Minecraft would be better off. As it stands the payerbase is split and nothing new or interesting has been made in ages by players beyond a few scattered minigames. A VERY few.
The changes are bad for PvP, that's why PvPers oppose them. PvP is objectively worse with the new combat system. It takes every problem that PvP already have (being too ping-based etc) and amplifies them.
I know the issues, I've never been majorly into PvP but I was addicted to a huge factions server for around a year once. Strafes, trying to anticipate where your opponent will strafe, a lot more complicated nonsense.
Lol what? I don't think world staff could care less about pvpers on older versions, considering they mostly work on role play related builds which pvpers will never see. Besides the fact that they definitely do use 1.9+ blocks in builds...
Nether REALLY needs to update now. Everything else is pretty fleshed out, underwater, more overworld stuff has been added, end got more islands and stuff a few updates back. Need some more cool stuff from the Nether for sure. I dont know if it was a bug or no but last I heard some overworld generation leaked into the Nether, with Ravines and some lava pockets with stone and overworld ores freckled around them. Id like more stuff like Pigmen Villages and maybe another couple freaky mobs.
Their stubbornness holds back greatness
well that's a good idea lmao
As others have said, i think its a great update, but my issue once again is it means i have to update past 1.8. Which sucks. i'll stay on 1.8, thank you.
I dont think the Slow Fall potions will be a big issue honestly. I've been messing around in the Snapshot an you seem to move slightly slower when your falling (by this I mean, in the X and Z axis) and your descent is consistent so you'd make a pretty easy target for anyone with a bow. Its like an extremely nerfed Elytra in a way, because you cant go up at all.
We have some plugin so blocks that dont exist in the version a player is using (IE if your 1.8 looking at concrete) they render as brick blocks. So the game is still "functional" for the most part regardless, though im not sure how the plugin will handle waterlogged blocks. Im in favor of updating always though because new tools are fun.
I mean you hear this a lot but I mean.
Yup, but look at the top Factions servers and see if you can find a single 1.12 or 1.9 server with a large, active community.
that is literally what massive has lmao
