1.9

lets just go back to 1.2.5

 

No it won't. I was told they are going right away.

 

the 1.9 attack cooldowns are attributes
we should keep them in wild, towny and airship
but in kitpvp and terrarium, etc they should be removed

 

They can't upgrade immediately even if they wanted to. They have to wait for several plugins to update and we have to manually update plugins that we ourselves have made.

 

if its the same speed as with 1.8 i wouldnt believe that.

 

Yes we can.

 

Oh my God guys, we can literally turn of the timer for pvp with COMMAND BLOCKS, we don't even have to use plugins.

 

Well then, we should have classic pvp with 1.9 update. Everyone is happy and we can stop these theads.
(Or. Have /warp classicpvp and /warp pvp and see which one is more popular)

 

Ok, first of all, as it has been said, attack speed can be changed to be the exact same as in 1.8. Second, lingering potions are just like splash potions, they heal your opponent if they walk into it, too, so that really isn't an advantage. Not to mention lingering potions are more difficult to make than you think. You need at least 4 Eyes of Ender, 4 Ghast Tears, and 28 glass to get any. That's assuming you don't use anything on your way to the End. This is because they are made with the new "dragon breath" (right click clouds on Ender Acid with an empty glass bottle). Thirdly, potion-tipped arrows are MADE with lingering potions, and are not affected by the Infinity enchantment, so they can't just be spammed like normal arrows. While they were not even mentioned, there's also the "issue" of shields. In reality, they're utterly worthless. Any bow-spammer with a Infinity bow can pound their way through the shield's pitiful durability. So by changing the attack speed attribute, PvP will remain relatively unchanged in the 1.9 Combat Update. Plus, I believe people will greatly appreciate the new blocks. Purpur, for example, has a very intriguing texture. The other new blocks will greatly help those who adore building.

 

Idk 1.9 pvp actually looks pretty cool.

 

People are already forming new tactics because of it. One I've seen is a wall of shields that protects a squad of archers.

 

We can not favor the opinion of one part of the server (pvper's) over the others. If you do have a suggestion on how to fix pvp in 1.9, please make another suggestion. We have to update eventually
