1.9

Do not go to 1.9. It is a worse idea than making a minecraft PE server. For pvp a diamond hoe will be better than a sword and it is just complete junk.

 

it'll ruin pvp?


+999999999 update to 1.9 as soon as it comes out

 

What about people that don't pvp? should the other benefits of 1.9 be held back because pvpers are being selfish?

 

1.9 Has so many cool features. I agree with andrew, you want us to just not have those because pvpers want to just point and click rather than update with everyone else? ok

 

Couldn't we just tweak the pvp stuff to the older style, and still update to 1.9?

 

The server doesn't revolve around players who only PVP. I understand that ''PVP'' will be ruined in the aspect of updating to 1.9, but this shouldn't be the only reason. 1.9 has tons of new features, shields, duel wielding, new End, new Ender Dragon fight, new potions . . . http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/1.9

If 1.9 comes out on Feb 25th, it doesn't mean that Meep is automatically going to update to it. It could be months, if not half a year before it updates. And that's even if Fuzzlr does decide to update the server to 1.9.

Even if, I'm sure the weapons could be tweaked so they don't have the cool down, if not, then damn. I guess you guys will have to learn how to adapt to change.

 

Change is scary, and therefore should not happen.

 

You can disable the sword cool down as a server

 

And you dont know why I don't like you.

 

PVP has been broken for like 2 years

 

It will be a while before Meep could be updated to 1.9 anyways because the server doesn't run the standard Minecraft server and the program it runs on as well as the mods have to be updated and tested before its even thought of to move the entire public server to 1.9 but i'm also in agreement with the fact that 1.9 brings a lot of cool features to Minecraft including useful things for PvP like duel wielding and shields.

 

meep is just gonna update cuz no one cares about pvp.... also...

Please wait 1 year with making another thread about this since it will take That long before meep is running on 1.9.

 

For all I know, this could be because he still wants to PvP without 1.9 "ruining" it.

 

YES :O

Since when?

 

since 2 years ago???

 

It's not change, more likely it is a complete abolishment to an established community.

You are not only changing the dynamic of pvp, you were completely rewriting it in a different way. Imagine you have practiced piano and you've gotten really good at it. All of the sudden, the government sends out a mandate that traditional pianos are no longer going to be produced, and instead a completely different instrument will take its place and will call itself a piano. The "pvp" of 1.9 and the current pvp are not like terms. You cannot compare two separately different things and call them an upgrade or a change, it just does not make sense.


MY PLAN
I'm going to list the bad things with pvp and how you can fix them (I'll also include an expected response and my answer to it)

Click timer
There's a click timer that basically makes it so you can't kill players or zombies at a reasonable wait. Instead you must wait up to 1-2 seconds before actually dealing a significant. All other hits in between are no more helpful than a fist punch

But Caleb, that means people can't just click fast to be good!

Okay first of all, I don't even click fast, I actually click a normal rate that most people find average. And clickspeed isn't what makes people good, even though it's common for people to assume so. Sure, clicking faster may improve when your click packet gets accepted by the server, but it's just an added advantage, it doesn't really help too much.

Okay so well maybe people want a fresh start and a new way to pvp. This actually sounds really fun! Everyone would be equal!

Perhaps a new start is a good thing, but this isn't the way to go. This just makes gameplay boring, and it hinders the full potential that pvp can be used for. In real fast-paced combat, do you wait a couple seconds between your swords strikes, or are you striking fast enough to block your opponent for becoming too offensive? It's basic knowledge. This is a step into RPG-type gamestyle, and if I wanted to do that I'd go somewhere else

'Lingering Potions'
I'm still pretty neutral on this idea but to be honest it's kind of OP. You could just splash a health lingering and when you're low walk into it.

But it would save money for noobs who can't buy regular splash!

And ruin the potion market

Potion dipped Arrows
Really mojang? Let's put poison on a bow and bow spam people until they die!

yeah actually you're right



FIXES:
Click timer:
Remove it completely, there should be a way to do so I'm pretty sure

Lingering Potions:
Remove

Potion dipped:
Remove/nerf


There are other reasons why I hate 1.9 but the update brings a lot of new cool things and it's a shame to have it be of waste due to all these dumb pvp changes

 

My post was sarcasm >.<

No I get what you meant by your post, you thought we were just afraid of change, but the reality is what is in my post (That's what you meant right?)

 

since it instead went from being about killing your enemy to breaking their armor
