Please can we remove the 1.8 thingie, it's so annoying, hit detection is bad + Lag.. It's so annoying.
For once I finally agree with you on something Elite. Reason(s) - Low FPS - Optifine has not yet released a Standard edition. They have been releasing a plethora of versions that are "Ultra". For those who don't know ; Ultra is increased graphics, which is even lower FPS and is nearly impossible to play the server . It feels as if I am watching a slide show montage of what is happening. Can be quite annoying. (Optifine Website ; See for yourself ) Ping / Hit detection - I normally range from 15-25 ms on the server. Lately (Since the begin of the update) it has been 85-200 ms. This is the most frustrating part.. Between the FPS and the Ping, it's impossible to have a good time on MV. Til either MV slows their roll, and goes back to 1.7. Or OF comes out with Standard. I won't be on much, Hard to have fun playing a game, when you can't play the game. Ya'feel?
you cant block hit anymore either. in 1.8 that caused everyone to get massive combo's. stick to 1.7.10 i get around 700 fps and i dont use any mods on 1.8 and still have A GTX 745 With a i7 4970 3.6 ghz and i still lag ;#
lately. i have being getting so many nvida crashe's and it annoys me that i cant play on the server at a locked 30 fps
Anvils are still broken in 1.8(for me), and I can't enchant the stuff I want unless I use 1.7.9, that's why lobby should switch back to 1.7.9.
Some anvils are broken, some require me to have all the items I want to combine at full durability which I find kind of a waste of money considering an anvil is supposed to repair+combine items.
I've noticed my ping is considerably worse. I usually get 170ish ping, and I am now ranging from 200 to 260 :/ I don't seem to have a problem with fps but that is most likely because I'm using to 20 ish fps. As for hit detection, I can't tell if I'm hitting someone due to armour not turning red when a player is hit
I'm a guy who loves to stain people in pvp, I find 1.8 -1.8.1 the worst update ever that was launched by the creators/developers. Also I noticed a lot of people stop playing mineverse, due to the update.. as hardly anyone can enjoy the server anymore.
I'm taking this more as a PvP complaint than a server complaint because there are zero issues MC vanilla wise for 1.8 or 1.8.1 for that matter. I myself have been playing on 1.8 since 14w28b and the only time we ever had issues with it were during the buggy updates of the development stage. Now I'm not the one to PvP, especially on a server of 2000, so I can't exactly grasp at every concept you guys mention that has to do with it apart from lag. As DCM stated above about OptiFine Ultra being a graphics upgrade, is not entirely true. My computer is a Macbook Pro (Mid 2009) that runs off a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card. Without Opti I would average around 30-40 frames in game regardless if I was in /Parkour, /Infected, /OPPrison, what have you. Those numbers would again drop when I record with ScreenFlow 5.0 by about 5-10 frames making my gameplay choppy. With 1.8.1 and Opti (currently on 1.8.1 HD C5) and the following settings below I maintain 55-70 frames depending on the server and how many entities, people, redstone, etc is in the area. http://imgur.com/a/N6YpV#0 (Album of OptiFine settings images)Now unless you're using shaders when you PvP, which I couldn't understand why you would, there should be no issues client side as to why you have dropped frames if this is what my basic computer can run day in and day out. Do not forget that your gameplay performance also depends on an uncountable number of variables when it comes to things like download/upload speeds, ping to ISP, ping to server, traffic usage, etc. I just happen to be lucky enough that I live in an area where I have a 26ms ping response to my ISP (Mid-west area), along with an average ping of around 30-40ms to the server. Also with the upgrading of 1.8 many of the hacked clients and frowned upon mods are now unusable on the server, thus decreasing the amount of cheaters you would normally find in game. Granted they are out there still, but they'll be easier to spot or not smart enough to upgrade to 1.8 yet. But with this there are some drawbacks such as the loss of things like ArmorStatusHUD, PotionEffectsHUD, DirectionalHUD, and other useful and fair add-ons. For those of you that are going to take the TL : DR approach to this: Noobcrew has made up his mind; it's his server. I doubt there will be a rollback in the future unless the majority of the server makes a complaint.
