Personally the PVP for 1.9 is way more tactical and requires more strategy, which is overall better for this server. It's slow-paced, and requires better positioning, especially with weighted armor. 1.8- pvp is just spam clicking at your enemy while strafing around them. People have come to me with arguments that 1.8 PVP requires more skill, but how is strafing around someone so they can't hit you more skillful than timing, shields, and weapon choice? Overall I feel that people want 1.8 pvp because that's the way they are used to it being. 1.9+ pvp is a good change, and is overall the pvp that LOTC needs.

I agree, I like 1.9+ pvp more than 1.8- pvp for small fights.

But...for warclaims it just lags too much and it's impossible to have a decent fight.

 

So, 1.8- is the way, friend.

Imo, I really enjoyed 1.9 combat and still do but unfortunately no-one is making a real effort to fix it making anything combat-wise relevant to the 1.9 update. If something like that is greatly lacking to be done, then you might as well switch it back to something that did work.

 

Your profile picture makes me want to vomit because it's an infinite loop of the exact thing, thanks :D

Why though? Why is 1.8 preferable to 1.9?

 

I don't really care either way simply because I don't like to PVP in the first place.

Basically, a lot of us older / 'more experienced' PvPers much prefer 1.8 because it's just much more fast paced and usually has a lot more skill when it comes to higher tier play. It's just a lot more fun for us, and a large majority of the server feels the same way, hence why they'd prefer it.

I could go either way: both updates have their pros and cons. A pro from 1.8 is that it's easy, but a con for that is that it has no strategy or is not relative to real life, where the weapons would be heavy, giving time to create a blow. A pro for 1.9 is that it actually takes work to be good at PvP and it has strategy to it, but a con to this is that it's not easy to learn how to be great at PvP now. Do you understand what I'm saying? I could go either way, but I rather have it stay how it is.

I mean if we wanna get technical, 1.9 has way more depth and as far as 1v1's go accuracy and strafing become a huge factor in winning and its more challenging. 1.8 is whoever can click at least 7 times a second and strafe the best while timing jumps. So I mean either way there's some skill involved. I liked 1.9 for 1v1's and 1.8 for mass pvp.

I really would rather the devs focus on literally anything else than trying to placate people who miss imitating turbo buttons.

GIVE ORCS BACK A BUFF! THEY SHOULD BE STRONGEST IN COMBAT IN CONTRAST TO THEM BEING THE WORST RACE AT THE MOMENT OTHER THAN HALFLINGS. There is no stability.

seems like 1.8 was the winner, when can we expect this to me implemented

I wonder why people that do not even PvP give feedback on PvP. It's like me giving feedback about being a doctor which i know nothing about. One could easily state that they want 1.9 because it's easier to run away. Which it clearly is.

Why does it matter who gives feedback? This is a server-wide change, so it should be right that the server-wide community is able to give their say, no?

That analogy doesn't work, as everyone on LoTC uses PvP at one point or another, as we're all playing Minecraft.

I... really can't say. I briefly talked to 501 and some of the other Devs (save for Kowa) about it and I really don't know what's going to come of it. I may have one more final thread to try and get some sort of makeshift 1.8 weapon in the game before all of them are released in, but I don't know if it will work.

dang i was really hoping it was straight forward and they just got rid of swing timers...

I would also like to point point out that in 1.8, there were no shields. I feel like shields have had a big impact in warclaims and skirmishes.

1,8. Now.

This. Gattino Fiero is right.
