As of June 12th 2017, Havoc MC released a brand new update for their most popular game mode yet, The Mining Dead. So far, most reviews on the update have been staggeringly positive, however, like many other games, following a brand new update is a vast amount of bugs, glitches and things that are added which players do not like.
These are my thoughts and opinions on the new update, feel free to leave your ideas down below.
My ideas and suggestions for The Mining Dead will be coloured in red.
(1) The new map.
The new map has exceeded many peoples expectations and is loved by the majority of Havoc. I for one believe this map is a huge step up from the past update and has really proven to us players that the staff of Havoc really do put time and effort into the map in order to feed our needs.
However, as many old players would agree, no map will ever beat the good old classic 1.7/1.8 TMD map. The classic TMD map was perfect for PVP as it was small enough to find and ensue a battle near enough every time you exited spawn or the safe zone.
I do understand why the map change was needed as not every TMD player is looking for PVP.
One suggestion about this map though, there are still some buildings with zero interior and some buildings which are blocked off with two blocks of wood etc because the builders ran out of time to build it. Obviously this shouldn't be a priority to do, but it should be something which is thought upon.
(2) The Classic 1.8 Version
Although many people disagree with bringing back 1.8 as hackers now have a wider range of hacked clients to chose from, I feel having 1.8 back was a great stepping stone for Havoc MC to gain more players and to allow their server to grow even more. This is because many people, mainly PVPers still use 1.8 to this day on other servers like KIT PVP or FACTIONS.
However, there are many texture glitches and just overall many bugs with this version. I think the staff should make it a priority to fix the bugs.
(3) The New PVP Physics
Now, many people enjoy having overpowered shotguns which can inevitably one/two shot full juggs, however, I feel this needs to be nerfed at least down to 6-7 hearts maximum. I understand the damage on the spas is random, however recently it feels the overpowered damage has been very frequent, causing players to be very toxic in chat as they lose their extremely rare Juggernaut items.
The overpowered shotguns has been well known to even one shot full riots, which, in PVP, there is not really much you can do to survive that. Either buff armour, or nerf the shotguns.
(4) Vehicles in The Mining Dead
Do we really need to go into detail on this one?
I'm pretty sure everyone reading this knows exactly what I am going to say about the vehicles.
Fix.
Remove bikes from the game until they are fixed as recently it has been very difficult to PVP as many people will use the bikes to their advantage to glitch away and become invisible.
(If you didn't know, players on vehicles which are roughly 10 blocks away from you go invisible).
This glitch is game breaking and has me wondering why it is still in the game.
(5) In Game Achievements
Achievements was a great thing to add as it allows another way to collect skulls and helps out players when collecting Rare, Godly or Legendary Crates. However, it seems as if there are way to little achievements to get and it seems as if they run out for players very quickly. I'd suggest adding maybe 20-30 more achievements.
And, a side note to this idea, maybe add achievements which can only be achieved if you achieved another one, say, Kill a Walker and then wear that walkers walker guts.
(6) The Server Overall
Right now, the server seems to be in a great place, with players increasing in small amounts every single day, Havoc MC has finally found a way to satisfy their players needs.
However, with this update there have been many problems with the server, especially the amount of server lag which has happened recently. This should be a priority to fix as it is causing many players to ultimately stop playing the server and most likely the new players which join will not have a good first time and will most definitely end up quitting the server. If the players who join the server for the first time, there is a huge risk that Havoc will not get the donations in which they need to keep the server up and running.
Havoc definitely needs to figure out a way to fix this as it is ruining the fun of The Mining Dead and their other game modes.
(7) The Staff
Now, I'm not going to name and shame anyone, but recently the staff have been doing quite a poor job at monitoring the chat, and (mostly the new helpers) have been hashing out false warns left and right. I feel the staff, especially the new ones, need to be educated on the rules once more and the people promoting them need to know for sure if they can do a good job or not. But, congratulations to the new staff as I do think you guys are doing a good job, just make sure to stick to the rules and be careful on who you are warning and for what reason.
.
Also, mainly Jr Mods and up, please do not ignore players in chat.
Thanks everyone for reading this enormous forum post. I'm sorry if anyone got offended by what I have wrote but I feel everything here needed to be said as it's really all I ever read about on Havoc now-a-days.
