I personally think that this survival reset downgraded it. They got rid of spawners, changed it to 1.12, and the gaps give you basically infinite health. Like enchanted golden apples give you like 10 extra hearts which I feel is way overkill. I think that survival would become significantly better if the server changes back to the way it was last season. I mean the fastest way to make money right now, is by fishing. I don't know about all of you but I hate fishing. Last season, I was able to just grind mobs from spawners and make money. Another reason is the PVP. People go to PVP to fight each other and for events like envoys that occur. I noticed that people that click higher cps, like 7-8 none of their hits register. They will get the animation but no damage will be inflicted. I have to click like 3 cps for my sword to actually do damage. Last season, when people were in protection 5, they were already hard to kill. But now on a 1.12 server, someone in protection 5 is basically unkillable. I play on 1.8.9 and I like the PVP here. For example, I have been killed by players without any armor and just an iron sword and I could be geared up and the same sword. Except the player does significantly more damage than I do when we actually exchange blows. I feel like a lot of players have moved from survival after the reset to other sub servers such as Factions and Prison due to this change. Survival would become a lot more fun and active if it reverted back to the way it was. After the reset, I noticed that there were significantly fewer people that were playing that used to in the past. I have also been asking random people whether they preferred this season or last season. Almost all of them said they would choose last season. I would appreciate it if a few staff members or build team could take this into account when customizing the new reset. Vote below if you agree or disagree. Thanks! -pizzafire
Hey Pizza, I agree most of this season wasn't as good as the previous seasons we've had. I think staff have taken in a lot of our complaints and are working hard to get the new reset ready as it should be only just a couple months away now but with any server other things take priority and sadly Factions is the servers main focus. I would love to see 1.8/1.9 come back (Since I've been around since S1) and that was the best version for the Survival Server to run on as it had a huge player count and was actually fun to play. But here's the kicker which i can agree with, we can't have 1.8 forever as we need new content to enjoy. Another Point you made was there's bugs and a lot of them but sadly with every reset there's bound to be bugs and if people don't report them they cant get fixed! You also mentioned about grinding and spawners, and this is already been talked about for next season if they continue to remove spawners for next season I put my idea forward that we should have somewhere like /mine in prisons but for spawners this means we don't have to spend hours looking for mobs/animals. As always I'd love to hear everyone's replies. Much Love Harry (HarryIsADuck)
Im not that good on writing paragraphs but I just wanted to say that the pvp from now compared to last season is way worse. Now the pvp is really slow and fights take a long time if you are in p5. Most of the time you cant even kill the people in p5 because, its super slow to attack and they can just use /feed over and over again even if you have strength on. Also last season was a lot more popular and it would have people coming in and out with good gear making pvp fun and also a challenge. Now pvp has the same people over and over with no new people coming in to fight. Anyways I hope staff take this into consideration of changing to 1.9 but I respect both ways if its too much to ask for. Thank you -OutRaced
hey! i think this reset was one of the best resets survival has had as it balances out the real feel of survival by taking fly and compromising with some of the more OG players who didn't always have economy and spawners. Updating to 1.12 helped level out some of the things that were taken away. I get a lot of players dont like the 1.12 pvp, but I think it's a nice change especially since mcc is bad for pvp because of lag back and such and it's not always as smooth as other server like minimen perhaps. I think last seaon and really any season from 3 to season 6 was a circus of just afking spawners and grinding money, maybe quests, and being toxic in pvp. I think the changes this season have definitely helped eliminate such a grind for money by afk'ing, but not fully eliminate since there are still auto farms like sugar cane farms and using dispensers w/ water to break 'em. and also I have never seen survival as a pvp based subserver so I don't think there should be such a hustle to make it 1.8. I've played on servers that were 1.12, but 1.8 pvp and the lag was horrible. it could have beent he plugins and the host n such, but ik i wasn't the only person to lag in that server and just don't think it'd be the best idea to convert just to prevent lag. but if it's possible for mcc, i'm not opposed to it. anyways, these are most definetly not all my ideeas and opinions about survival, but.. have a great day
Hello there, I believe survival's change to 1.12 was really amazing. Yes, the downside of 1.12 is pvp - it isn't what most people are used to. Just because we aren't used to it, though, doesn't mean we should get rid of the entire idea. Survival is made to feel like you're playing in a survival world - just with a lot more plugins. It should continue changing the versions - I mean, can you imagine the 1.14 blocks and all the builds that will come with? I'm a firm believer in the phrase "change is a good thing". It's uncomfortable and you just wanna go back to how things are - but it's something we should accept and adapt. I know that some will want to say "just add 1.8 pvp", and as puposaurus has stated, the lag was unbearable. There really is not a great way to combat this besides either choosing one or the other. But, personally, I love the switch. I know I'm not classified as an OG but I've been around for a while. And this season has honestly been one of my favorites. Thanks for reading my opinions on this topic; I hope you all have a good day :D
Hello! As a Survival player, I think only updating the versions makes the seasons much better. I know back in the day Survival used to be very pvp heavy subserver, but now Alex has decided to make it more gameplay and building focused, which is why he's making it to be as vanilla as possible without taking out the econmy and plots. Considering that's what the server is turning out to be, I don't think it should change just because of the pvp because there are players who would rather have have it focus more on gameplay, building, making or designing your own shops or there's the usual who try to be #1 in baltop or quests. There are subservers such as Kitpvp and Factions (even Prison, which is more gapple pvp based) that you can go on to pvp. I think maybe in the future it'll be fine but I like the current changes that are being made and of course the current season is a bit buggy, but with the next season everything should be fixed or be finalized to make it a great erver. Have a lovely day/night ! <3
Hey httpmeme, Sadly im going to have to disagree with you saying that players should go pvp somewhere else, is just wrong! You didn't take into fact that before this season Survival was PVP orientated and has been for many Seasons. Saying people should just on Kitpvp and other subservers where the pvping is totally different. I could just argue to you that if you want to build a plot/shop go on creative or prison where there's shops. Pvp has been a large part of the Survival Eco Since Season 2 and a huge part of the Survival player base would agree. At the End of the day everyone wants new content to Enjoy on Survival. Everyone wants pvp to be one way or another, No one is happy all the time. I play on Survival almost everyday and not one day goes by where i don't see in chat people saying they want 1.8/1.9 pvp back. This might not be the same of others but because of 1.12.2 i had to totally stop my shop and now i sit on Survival doing nothing all day. Would love some feedback Much Love Harry (HarryIsADuck)
Hello there! I honestly think survival should be updated to the latest version. Survival state's it's name "Survival" it's not meant to be a pvp type thing it's just a public survival server for many people to play on at once with many features. PvP isn't the core aspect of survival, minecraft. Yes, I know 1.9+ pvp is really obnoxious, but PvP isn't the main idea of the game. I don't think making survival 1.8.9 would fit the aspect of it being survival, less things to do, less things implemented. -1 Have a great day/night!
isnt 1.9 before they added the new combat feature because if so i agree that they should go back to 1.9 because if you try to spam your sword or axe you do less damage than what you do on your first strike.
