I vote that every builder gets 10 legend crates, 5 godly crates, and 5 rare crates, for the (sorry for languageI) "Bull****tery" that this would be after 7 months of building. How many builders are there, like 15? And it took them 7 months. If it takes that many people that long to make a map, then that shows some serious work went into it. You cant just delete the map because you want to "make it smaller". I can understand copy-pasting structures closer together, but ffs do not just delete everything. Not only that, but with 1.8, you have less blocks to retexture, so the quality of builds will be worse.
Shortening the map is fine. Go ahead. Removing melees? half of them were unused anyways, specifically things like dull knife. But killing the map? Hell the the No. And what about pvp? Half of the people who don't want to downgrade will be stuck with a hit cooldown, while other 1.8 people can spam hit and kill everyone with melee easy. How you gonna fix that? Give every builder the crates, and maybe throw in 100k, because this is just unfair to them. Ive already heard that some of them will resign because of this.
i follow what this says. 7 months for the new map, a lot of time went into that map. if we get rid of it, one itll be sad because i like the distance(although it could be a slight bit smaller) between locations, the resource pack will have to change, a lot of items will be lost without the benefits of 1.9 and we will have people using more available mods, hacks whatever you classify it as.
if it goes back to a smaller map, will the locations be changed? i mean come on man, 7 months of hard work, building, decorating only to go back to a smaller map, with less weapons, content and less people actually staying. Leave it as the new map, with the 1.9+ updates, the new weapons every thing! if we go back to a smaller map what was the point of having people work on a larger map, whats the point of the updated resource pack? why do this.
The katana OP will be back, the builds will be too big for the map, (we would probably be able to see Sanctuary from Alexandria) the old resource pack is outdated, the builds will have to be converted to another new pack, It would just be, and pardon the **** out of my french, f**king stupid to erase all the hard work done in the last 12 months...
Everyone likes change to a degree, but reverting something back to what we upgraded from?
Can i make a suggestion Nick,
Maybe have a different server, where we have the old map on like 2 sub-servers.
Example:
TMD-OS
(The Mining Dead Old Style)
Server 1 can be PVP and server 2 PVE, with what you're proposing, the new smaller map, less weapons and that.
Personally if we lose this much content i may actually stop playing, meaning i would like a refund of the money i have put into this. its sad if it comes to that.
PLEASE do not change what we have, just make a new sub-server with the changes on it.
I've applied for builder countless times, stating i would love to help with projects, to build, but they keep being denied.
I don't want these changes.
You mentioned:
"As for the pros of 1.8:
- Less client & server lag
- A lot of people still play 1.8, so bigger player base
- More people per server"
There are also cons, i listed most of them above.
Also does it mean that there will liable to be yet another reset of vaults, inventory, stats and money?
We cant keep doing that, because if you throw all the new items recieved out the window, that leaves alot of stuff missing with no compensation, look at the back lash over the last clearing. it sucked.
please dont convert it back to 1.8, leave it at 1.9+ we have a better experience.
Please....
I leave you with a quote from Negan,
"Now, I know that is a mighty big, nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you most certainly will"
People i guess would have to do this, get over it that the server changed, but make a server with the new, old features is my suggestion.
