If they update to 1.11, as long as it stays with 1.8, I'm good. I would like 1.7, but 1.8 is ok. If they go 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11, that's not going to make people very happy...
Not exactly, quite a few pvp bugs were fixed in 1.8. Then again 1.8 did had hit detection bugs, but overall 1.8 was better than 1.7. PvP wise 1.9 is better than all of them, then again ya'll don't want to go away from your Spam buttons = win pvp system.
Not really, all ya'll want is to just hit that spam button, enjoy those Notch apples for days, then just switch armor after a few hundred hits because your armor broke. The system we have is flawed completely and MV had just barely made it better by disabling potions in kitpvp (splash potions). Then again, I'm a old man enjoying ye old MMO stile pvp so I guess that has to count for something when considering pvp styles.
But the point is we are talking about switching over to 1.11 style pvp not just removing all the features of 1.8. Why play a game when you remove its "best" features in 1.8? Yeah their OP, but they are counterable, distance wins when going against notch apples. Yes, fights take centuries, but that's when 1.9 hits you in the face. Golden apples no longer buff you as much, and potions can be used for both you and a friend and heck, you could throw a few damage potions on a group of enemies to get the job done. The only way fights take hours to play in 1.9 is if you and the enemy do not understand how the mechanics work exactly. If you use all the mechanics correctly in 1.9 pvp system, you will win most easily as long as the enemy doesn't prepare to overpower you.
1.9 fights take forever. With Notch apples being De-Buffed, the attack cooldown made them as powerful as they were before.
