1.12 people:
48% of Hypixel uses 1.8, 1.9+ is a small majority at 52%. 1.12 makes up the vast majority of those
Common knowledge dude.
Nice lying you got going there (50% of the Minecraft players are single player alone, and you completely ignored 3 large communities)
Facts, we need facts instead of "common knowledge"
Look at YouTubers. Most of the non-pvp related YouTubers most of the time use versions above 1.8. Logdotzip is a great example.
You certainly don't evidence to support your end, me and @The First Hokage keep offering evidence but you keep ignoring it because admitting to the evidence harms your argument
I want proof of the percentages you gave me, I haven't even said my opinion on the thread itself
Yes, updates will come in the future, that is why Mojang should add a /gamerule command to change the combat system, so players can play with concrete or new features but still enjoy the PVP mechanics. The new combat system is very slow and boring, missing is actually an issue and combos hardly exist. Don't pull the "it's more realistic" on me. A bucket of water can prevent someone from dying by placing it seconds before landing, anti gravity. Not to mention the new combat system is new and no one knows how to use it. Besides, what the hell was Mojang thinking when they created the sound system.
Where did you found the source. And again most player of hypixel are 1.8...
I don't disagree there.
Some people might not find it boring. I for sure don't. Battles are just as exhilarating. It's not like Minecraft's now a turn-based strategy game.
Missing was still an issue in pre-1.9, and making it a bigger issue widens the skill gap. Being able to hit your target is a skill. Those that are the best at it will do better. Also, combos still exist. They're just performed differently than pre-1.9 combos.
I never did and wasn't going to. Honestly, that a lot of pro-1.9ers use is terrible and only weakens the argument.
A lot of people know how to use it. Almost everyone who uses 1.9 knows how it works. If you can read the changelogs and play for fifteen minutes you can learn it. Note that I said learn and not master. Also, what's wrong with something being new? While not always, new things are usually good.
A: That doesn't tie into the argument at all and, B: Some people, like me, enjoy the new sounds. Especially rain. It's a lot nicer. But the sounds can be easily changed with a resource pack if you don't like them.
I enjoy 1.8 and older. I played it for the longest time. I just prefer 1.9 better, so I played it as soon as it released.
@CommunistCactusfanboy uses reliable sources. I've read his posts before.
When I played 1.9 I never really felt the feeling that the fight was close, that I could die any second. This is simply because the fights are very long, I also found that choking was a big issue in the game, you could have been "trading hits" one second then all of a sudden you keep missing hits and get easily destroyed, I find it very inconsistent.
Alright, more Minecrafters like 1.12+. But remind me where most people get their resource packs? Oh yeah, from 1.8, if you don't want our combat system then you don't deserve our resource packs, it's not from your community so you don't deserve it, there won't be any textures for elytras concrete and God forbid glazed terracotta. If Mojang doesn't add a /gamerule command to change combat versions (/gamerule oldpvp or something) then all the new resource packs mad won't work for 1.12, and let me remind you how bad all the 1.12 packs are, none of them are PVP based, all probably have high fire and long swords. Just a warning before you decide to be complete 1.12. Remember, you still use 1.8 things.
He still didn't answer my question, where did he find the percentages he was talking about...
Well I'm sorry if I don't want to have to take a break from fighting every 10 seconds to eat a steak. So I get constant regeneration 2. Food is still very overpowered in 1.12 and make fights take longer. Turning food into healing was a very silly idea.
