Neri 3590 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lag helps you in PvP, I am not sure how many times we will have to say that. I would explain again, but i'll link to wikipedia instead because i'm lazy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_%28engineering%29 Low FPS is bad in games. High latency is usually considered bad as well. However, in minecraft, latency can have some odd effects such as phantom movement (you see players where they actually are not), which makes high latency sometimes an unavoidable exploit. As far as i'm aware, minecraft doesn't use delta timing or movement prediction... so yes, high latency is a double edged sword. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telanir 6975 Share Posted June 25, 2013 [edit] Would you all please stop with the argument about lag? those who like pvp say it helps, those who don't like it say it hurts. It doesn't go anywhere. The lag argument is pointless, it's fine. We have a lot of pointless arguments just like that one within these 60 pages already. xD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezo Karasuga 356 Share Posted June 25, 2013 My thoughts for putting this to a vote: "What is always popular isn't what is always right." I stand by the staff's decision. They have looked at this issue from many angles over time. It was already clear that the community was pretty equally split on the subject. Putting it to a vote just further proves that point and shows how divided we are. It pits people into "Us" vs "Them". Putting a vote up is a giant wedge that we are hammering down into the community to split it. I implore the staff to rescind this referendum and keep everyone calm as they have been. Being so knee-jerky and waffling on decisions shows that you listen, yes. But it also shows how easily things can get changed and reverted. That instability is what is more frightening. Rollback the changes if you want and work out more finalized option. Or keep what you have. Don't pit us against each other to avoid the responsibility.

Telanir 6975 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I totes hate you. Personally, I don't want to have to pick a side. I'd rather we just paint a giant red line in Anthros and let one side get what they want. If the server is going to be torn over the topic, why not just divide the land? Probably cause it doesn't make sense and encourages separation I guess. Funny hehe, you're picking a side by doing that! :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyn 149 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Funny hehe, you're picking a side by doing that! :P I consider it making a compromise. Give players both sides and let them go crazy. =P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaba 144 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's not what it seems like to me. I'd rather have 200 FPS before I even go into a war on this server. I know firsthand, because I have 2 computers, that my 60 fps one that is from 2005, and my new one who can run MC at 300+ fps, the actual PvP is exactly the same. If you are running 45+ fps, you are running smoothly 100%. 30 fps has a slower feel, but it is not lagging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonian 14254 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'd like to ask all the Aussies saying that latency is a disadvantage something. How fast is your internet? I only get 1.8mb on a good day but I can PVP fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABANDON SERVER, MAN THE JETPACKS! *WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH* <3 What worried me was how quickly it turned into a referendum. Like I said, that shows not wanting to take responsibility for making a call that people were upset with. Either stick with the decision, or pull everything back and make a more refined system to present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lago 2572 Share Posted June 25, 2013 From Mau5 on the last thread:This is being locked. This post came as a surprise to the admin team and many of the GM staff. Though we are divided on it we always planed on a compromise based off of a large player poll and staff poll. We apologize for the confusion. Please sit tight and keep to the original RP default rules as we try to work this out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varstivus 98 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It seems to me, this should be taken down, and put back up when the professions plugin is actually in sight. It is far too early to make a decision based upon some functionality in future. Simply put, RP works NOW, PVP will work LATER. As soon as the plugin is actually released I will be all for PVP, but not yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
