So today is New Year's Eve, and I want to say a few words about what I think 2016 is going to bring Minecraft to. I'll make a few points about 1.9, but it's also going to be about the current state of many communities, Badlion being one of them (not to a major degree).


So here's the section on 1.9. You probably all know what I'm talking about, the charged hits, the everything ewewewewew

It's mostly the charged hits in 1.9 that is making the community think that 1.9 will "ruin" PvP. I think it'll make a drastic change in PvP, switching over to a whole new layout and all, but I heard somewhere that Badlion will be making a 1.9 only arena PvP server, and the standard 1.7/8 servers. If they aren't, link them to this post and tell them that they should do this. 1.9 also adds shields. However, these shields replace sword blocking, making block-hitting impossible. It also adds in dual-wielding. This means that you can have an item in both your left and right hands. A group recently did a UHC on a 1.9 snapshot (One-Niner Miners), and one of the players had a really tough time bow fighting. Apparently, the bows have been enhanced. If you outgear someone in a 1.9 bow fight, you will most likely win. In 1.9, bows are really the only way to actually fight like it is on the old PvP layout. Ladders such as Archer are going to be extremely popular, as they involve a bow. Ladders such as Build UHC, SG, and GApple are going to die down. Jitter-clicking, and even normal-clicking, will also die down. There are a bunch of different challenges in PvP, but the main three are sprinting, aiming, and clicking fast. In 1.7 they added the sprint key, which took away double tapping, making sprinting much easier. In 1.9, they are going to eliminate clicking fast. This leaves just aim. If you have good aim, you win every single match on 1.9. The fishing rod start will become obsolete. Melee based ladders are going to die. This means that the bow ladders will rise. I think that GApple will be taken out entirely, and SG will get 16 arrows instead of 8, something like that. This section is getting long and this is not the section that I want to be the longer. My point is, melee will be basically taken out of the game. Skywars will be the only kind of PvP left that you can spam click and have it work effectively in. Now onto my other section:

This will be the section on the current state of many competitive communities such as MCSG, Kohi, and Badlion. This is the part of the thread I want everyone to read.

Minecraft is becoming more and more toxic each day. If you log onto a Kit PvP server such as Kohi, within about five seconds someone is going to say something along the lines of "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING NIGGER DRINK BLEACH YOU 8 YEAR OLD FAGGOT" The Minecraft community is on its decline. In my eyes, it was MCSG that kick-started some of the major toxicity. It may be different for some people, but when MCSG updated fully to 1.8 for six months, there was a lot of toxicity. Teams were becoming more and more common. In 1.7 it was challenging to beat some of the teams, but in 1.8 it became impossible. Eventually they got their shit together and changed back to 1.7, but the damage had been done. There was extreme toxicity everywhere. The simple acronym "gg" or "gf" became a way of taunting the opponent when the fights were clearly one-sided. Now it's not just MCSG anymore. Badlion was smart enough to keep their SG on 1.7, and this is how they gained a good chunk of their SG playerbase. For six months Badlion was becoming more and more popular. But then someone messaged someone else "gg" and the winner then added "ez". I left things like "ez" and "freelo" and "rekt" out because that's how players become toxic; they are messaged saying that they are easy, and they should get good at the game. Well, what if they aren't as good as you? What if they got stuck in a block or knocked against a tree? More importantly, how would YOU feel if that happened to you? The level of toxicity in the Minecraft community is multiplying. I never thought I'd have to pray for the community in a video game for the next year. In early 2015 Minecraft's community started declining. Today is the last day of 2015. For most of the world it already is the new year. Fortunately, Badlion has extremely good chat monitors. They are amazing at keeping the chat clear of any major toxicity. However, I have never seen a staff member on NA West ever. The only time I have seen a staff member on it was Smelly rebooting the server. Chat filters were added, but that just became a hurdle that toxins could easily clear. I once had someone message me "1z1 r(that weird symbol that looks like an E)kt". Some servers have extremely overdone filters such as Mineplex's. But Mineplex doesn't have anything to do with Badlion, and I don't want to bring it up either. Then there was the whole thing with Judgement Day v5 and how Gberry had AsianWiz be the last ban. While it's been out for a long time that he set off over a thousand GCheat logs, the fact that Gberry made the owner of a rival network the final ban to leave an impression went a little too far. I'm not taking anyone's side. I don't want to be like Declassified making news about every single thing that goes on within Badlion. This thread is extremely long but I feel as if I had to make it to give my two cents on what 2016 will bring us. It will either double the amount of everything stated above, go so far that it will kill off Minecraft, or it will be the best year ever for Minecraft. I can only hope the third option will be how 2016 goes.

why do you need to tag them

Posted on 31 December 2015 - 06:35 PM

ogod pls

I dont know what this post is supposed to mean, you rambled in so many different directions that it makes absolutley no sense.

1.8 ruined pvp just by the looks and design, I most likely will quit in 1.9 or become extremely inactive if someone doesnt change this shield and click shit. Possibly some custom plugins and what not.

I felt like I had to tag them so they could see this and see what they could change

Posted on 31 December 2015 - 06:42 PM

And yes, I do think that 1.8 ruined PvP enough. But I don't want 1.9 to take this to another level. I made a point about a 1.7/8 only server and a 1.9 only server. I'd only play 1.7/8, but I'd go to 1.9 to play bow ladders.

Posted on 31 December 2015 - 06:48 PM

why would you even touch 1.9

Posted on 31 December 2015 - 06:51 PM

1.9 will be absolutely crap.Badlion shouldn't even dedicate a server to 1.9 as barely anyone will be on there.Mojang have messed up big time

Posted on 31 December 2015 - 06:55 PM

Umm… you can get rid of the attack delay with a simple vanilla command. Chill guys ^^ Give 1.9 a shot

Posted on 31 December 2015 - 07:06 PM

Hell yes I'll give 1.9 a shot.Hopefully my shot will kill it and we can all go back to 1.7 again

Yes, I know about the attack delay command. But if Badlion wants to be unique they could just have the normal weapons. I still want to see a 1.9 only server.


edit: NO NO NO NO NO NOT ONLY 1.9 I MEAN ONE SERVER THATS ONLY 1.9


tf was the meaning of that edit

That can happen on Badlion as well, as we can see from your punishment history. Just saying.

……………….



You would too if you were having an awful day and teams of five would attack you.



And why do we bring up my punishment history? To bring me down and attack all the points I made. Just because I'm not popular or a memelord doesn't mean you have to bring up my punishment history. Most of it was from Build UHC, a ladder I decided to stop playing since it was entirely based on luck.
