Here's my rant why i agree with the removal of the opple crafting recipe & talking a bit about the new pvp mechanic. Now the opple was indeed very Over powered. Now i don't care how many of you guys say "Oh well the amount of gold you need for it is absurd." well think about it, how many people are there on your typical factions/survival server? Now a lot of these people will make themselves a few opples, and possibly even die with them and give them to the more stronger groups. The opple is basically god mode for 30 seconds. there is no skill with them unlike Potion pvp. With opple pvp you just eat a opple and land as many hits as possible and then eat another one once it runs out. Also to mention alot of servers allowing players to buy opples from ingame shops, apart of donator kits and rewards for voting. I personally think the removal of the crafting recipe was a brilliant idea and will make the game more skill based. Now the new 1.9 Pvp is going to change the way pvp works and will make fights alot longer, this could also be another reason why opples were removed too. Anyway, the new pvp mechanic will make pvp less "fast paced" and pvp easier. Im not 100% with the new pvp mechanic. Im sure pvp servers will stay on 1.8 as this could ruin them.
The main feature I like about 1.9 is the fact that people can't just spam click to get hits on you and kill you with 0 skill. The opples also helped with that, because they were too easy to obtain.
Idc about the gapps but the pvp sucks. They made 1.9 for newbies who only play singleplayer. Pvp isn't spam clicking as most people who cant pvp say so. It's so much more than just clicking.
i like it cuz of elytra just im full ia and im about to die on a cliff OH WAIT I HAVE ELYTRA zombies CYA SUCKERS!
Marine you're a builder not a pvper, I guess. And 1.9 is totally a failure. Yes god apples are op but there is a reason they are called "god apples". Yes you are right they do give a big advantage but ppl don't get them free they either spend irl money or more than a stack of gold for that 30 sec. You can't say its unfair to ppl who did nothing. You know replies like this make me laugh. Ppl are like spam clicking = 0 skill Go back to school and learn some logical thinking.
Well marine, you do know you cannot make magic floating water anymore right? :/ And daylight sensors no longer emits a signal at night when sufficiently shaded.
I Pvp quite abit, Just because im a "builder" dosnt mean im not a pvper. And if anyone would spend irl money for opples, they got a issue. you can get opples ingame shops too. A good money farm on a factions server could mean infinate opples (Thats if they sell them) and im sure there a plenty server's that do. Removing opples will balance the game out more. And would also suit 1.9 because of the hit delay's, otherwise a pvp fight will last a very long time.
Agree with you! The pvp is now more realistic than spamming like a lot. Most hacks with Autoclicker will be outdated that means most players wont know that their hacks don't help. There are still ways how to remove the cooldown of the weapons (Commands,Plugins) Pvp 1.9 became a new way of stratigal, tricks and so on. Also many blocks have been added, which I also love. Igloo's I also like, and also the new item Beetroot gives a new way of farming etc. I also like the new pots, and anything else I also like. I say I can "like" the 1.9. update. Also for those people who don't love 1.9. Who said we will go there? And also we can make a 1.9 version of kitpvp and potpvp and 1.8. because it will change pvp a lot!
and also those autoclickers are now uselles XD and also removing the recepie the egapple is smart be cause now X-ray hackers can only hack for diamonds.and pvp is now a litle bit ruined but it isnt that bad :3 and cant whait to Survival to change to 1.9 be cause aXed said that they will change when 1.9 comes out to test it and they they will decide to keep it or change back to 1.8 and 1.9 is coming out in 5 days!
Tbh, if gc turns survival to 1.9 I would play it 24/7. Thing is it's good for some aspects like new things less gapples, more survival kind of stuff, but again 1.9 would be shit for factions. So yeah it's a different update, not a total shit tho as long as it stays in its limits, I mean if it comes to factions most of the people would probably quit while if it comes to survival, it would increase people playing considerably.
