Yes, in 1.8.9. And 1.7.10. Rods do nothing. Are you joking? All swords have an attack speed of 1.6 (.62s cooldown). Have you ever played on 1.9+? You know there's more uses for ranged kb tools than breaking out of a straightline, right? Wasn't your whole argument "1.8 is more skill"? Because...

I have tested it on a vanilla server I made from scratch - rods do nothing at all. If you can combo with a wood sword, you can combo with any other sword - they all swing at the same speed, noob. It's not my "opinion" whether you can combo in 1.9+. Snowballs imitate rod... even in 1.9+... your...

RODS DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO PLAYERS - NO DAMAGE, NO KB, NO STALLING. THEY LITERALLY GO RIGHT THROUGH. You have to be good to combo in 1.9+, not "godlike". Git gud. Snowballs do the same thing in 1.9+ as in 1.8; sure they help. I did point out hotkey in 1.8. Blockhitting is stupid. Slim...

First of all, I just did some more testing, and I must apologize for some inaccurate calculations concerning the "time to kill" in 1.8. As it turns out, all weapons in 1.8 do 1 more damage than stated. So for example, a diamond sword says +7 damage; but this is added to the fist's damage, making...

hmm still 1.9+ requires more skill to do well, each attack is meaningful, and each hit has a physicality to it.

Blockwars isn't popular because it's extremely boring to play with it taking 5 seconds to break blocks, and you can't add more blocks mid-game unless you're Miner. As for "5 seconds to kill", let's take some comparative examples. Most people in Blockwars have leather armor; I think the...

*you're Until the Island Games came out a week ago (and they aren't even technically unique, either), Cubecraft has had one unique pvp gamemode: Blockwars, which is an extremely unpopular game compared to the other ones on the server. Yea that'll roll in the players.

You don't think that I've looked for 1.9+ servers? I've found literally 2 living non-SMP servers over the course of 19 months, and one of them's Cube. Why would anyone want to play on Cubecraft's half-effort 1.8 when they can go on Bad, Hyp, Hive, Brawl, etc. for more gamemodes and better...

No, they prefer 1.9 on this server because they have nowhere else to fricking go, you arrogant brat.

Okay first of all, that's a post on Badlion, the central hive of 1.7 players. Second, that was clearly written as a mockery, had no substance or argument, and was deliberately made to troll. Third, I was saying "The people on this server prefer 1.9+ so get over it and get out."

Biased to the current version because it's preferred and because there's not enough to gain by using a 3-year-old version of the game to justify its inclusion?

... Hyp has been popular since like, 2013, I have no idea what you're talking about. Like, yea more people play 1.12, but that is just about the worst way to go about arguing it.

I never once in that post said cube would lose players by adding 1.8. You have not responded whatsoever to my concern that Cubecraft entering an oversaturated 1.8 pvp market is not worth their time or effort, and that Cube would be better off by attracting more 1.9+ players by making the server...

More people play on 1.12 than 1.8. As for whether more active pvp server players like 1.8 or 1.9, we don't have a good sample size of 1.9+ servers to even test that claim, and basically all 1.8 pvp servers muddy the waters by allowing connections from 1.9+ versions. Just having more players is...

@Squarrels Parkour... literally anyone can slap together a series of blocks to jump on. Now, a competitive parkour-based game like Floor is Lava could be interesting, but anyways fixing ping and lag issues is a much higher priority for me.

Every suggestion is about changing games

I love how much thought goes into gear preparation; it seems so simple, but you can make armor, swords, axes, shields, buckets, chests, slabs... wonder if there's more...

What makes your thread so special that the devs should specifically respond to you? And what justifies you tagging them incessantly?

No see that's my point; you don't actually know how 1.9+ works because you presuppose that it's boring. Oh and tagging the devs 4 times is definitely gonna make them respond and not get mad at you.

Perhaps it's below the obsidian? I saw some diamonds, too.

I swear you've never played 1.9+ with any real intention to be good at it, because it isn't hit a few times and run. And who cares whether it's "the kind of combo" 1.7 has? It's still a series of hits caused by a combination of good aim, timing, and spacing. I don't see anything spectacular...

I was giving best-case scenario; but sure, let's say that you miss two swings and make 1 swing a crit and get comboed for 4 hits by the other guy - you'd still take only ~9 seconds in that fight. You need a spell checker because you do have a lot of misspellings (and you omit apostrophes). If...

It takes 4 crits to kill a guy in full iron armor with an iron sword, dude - that's a minimum of 1.875 seconds to kill from the time of landing the first hit. But let's say you're in a scenario where critting isn't viable; it still takes only 4 iron axe swings (3.33 seconds) or 7 iron sword...

Can you get a spell-checker? I'm not saying all of 1.8 is nooby; I'm saying that spam-clicking was. I joined the game on release 1.2.5, and to assume that "no good player" likes 1.9+ is arrogant, presumptuous, and false. You can run away between hit cooldowns as much as you can run away...

Being able to break the map is one of the things that makes this game unique, tho.

And can I just say, I appreciate Cubecraft's efforts to be different from other servers. Not only is their 1.9+ status ambitious, but their willingness to actually remove old and unpopular games is welcome from me, in order to keep their workload manageable and the game selection clean.

Ooooooh... Why not above lava? I mean, it just seems that the floating islands thing is getting a bit cliche.

So instead of fixing BlockWars they just made a better BlockWars on floating islands...

So it's a better, more creative version of BlockWars... on floating islands. (Why's it always got to be on floating islands?) Anyways, am excited.
