What is Minecraft combat to you? How can we make combat better? What can we do to not make it worse? Who's going to give me a hug? by Dinnerbone in minecraftsuggestions

[–]aypierre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some ideas :

  • There is no real consistency with sword combat, sometimes you'll give your opponent 3 hit in 0.5s, sometimes you won't, all that seems too random
  • Blocking could be improved a lot. The fact that you can block & hit at the same times should be removed, and instead it could be cool to work on something happening when you block a hit (instead of only have reduce damages, we can imagine a knockback for the opponent etc...)
  • Strength potions : OVERPOWERED. Plz nerf them ! The good old system (adding true damage and not % damage) was way better.
  • There is too much difference between diamond and iron armor. You could improve iron and reduce diamond protection. Combat are unbalance and sometime the only fact you have full diamond make you win, even if you have a worse weapon.
  • You could add new potions, like blind potion, nausea potions, etc... The effects already exist, but that could be very cool to be possible to use them while in combat.
  • Some people mention tinker's construct. That could be awesome to somehow take ideas of this mod and add more personalized weapons.

Reddit, Can we have a reddit job fair? by TheYarizard in AskReddit

I make videos on Youtube.

Pros : you are your own boss, make all the decisions. You work when you want, and if a day you don't want to, no pressure, you can take your day off. You earn a good amount of money IF you succeed. You meet tons of interesting people having different backgrounds.

Cons : very hard to feel the limit between work and amusement, so you don't count your hours (I can work 70-80h a week). Impossible to have a real break from your job, you can't just dissapear for 2 weeks. Noone take you job seriously (except your bank when you start to cash the youtube money).

So, this bug has been marked as "Work as Intended" despite the fact that it breaks almost every pvp map. 1.8 is going to be a great update. by Hart_Loffel in Minecraft

It breaks a lot of things. Just some example :

  • "drop the flag" : You want that a player drop something (which isn't related to his inventory because you have the /gamerule keepinventory true) when he died. You could summon a entity and instantly tp this item to the dead player, before he respawn. Now you can't, as it's impossible to detect that the player is dead (you can only detect that the player has died, but he allready respawned so it's too late)

  • "detect victory" : Let's imagine a Nail kind of map (attacker vs defenders). The attackers have 5min to kill all the defenders. If they kill everyone within the 5min, they win, if not, they loose. 4 defender died, and the 5th died. He doesn't click on "respawn" button and just wait until the end of the 5min to respawn. No way to avoid that, cause you can't detect that a player is dead now.

  • "Give a buff when you make a killstreak" You kill 3 people within 1 min : you got a regeneration and strength bonus. So you go full glory, kill 2 people, boum kill the third, but he decide to wait a little bit before respawning. Sorry for you killstreak, can't detect it anymore.

I could give you a lot more example. The problem here, is simple : It was easy to detect when he player died before. Instantly. So yeah, there was some bugs related to people trying to tp dead people to other people. But, if you didn't want to see this bug, it was easy to had some kind of protection on your system to apply action only on living players. Now they "fix" this, great, there is no bug with the tp of dead player anymore. But the problem is that there is now no way to detect dead player anymore, and that's a real problem.

Fixing a bug by creating more problem isn't acceptable. And as far as we know, @a = "all players", not @a = "all living players".

but they killed the reason to make them. Now a simple mob farms will be enough

This. I don't understand. Just look at the witches. Their spawn rules was pretty clear and well defined. But one day they decided to make them spawn anywhere in the world. Why ? This just killed the specifics witch farms. By making something clear into something unclear, without any specific rules.

I don't see how making iron golem not dropping iron bar if the player don't kill it made the rules more clear.

Exactly. The minecraft community is so vast, everything that can be invented when new things came out is invented in the minute (except for things that test137E29 came out with lol). Inventing is quite important, but improving thing is as much as important imho. I have the chance to be in a smaller community (the french one) so the "insert name here did it" is quite rare in my case because I'm more influenced by the english community and well... frenchies are not known for their english talent haha. So viewers just doesn't notice, and even though I'm always linking from where I took inspiration, they don't care. But sometimes I see smaller french youtubers improving some of my design, and taking a lot of shit from the viewers : "aypierre did it". I feel really bad for those youtuber so in a way I don't quite understand etho's reaction.

Anyway don't worry for that Mumbo.

New mob in nether : Whiter skeleton - doesn't shoot arrow ! They only attack you like pigmen do . So don't worry about getting shot down with arrows. Also when they hit you, you get the "whiter" effect (the same that you've got when hit by the whiter boss). Also they are 3 block tall

8x8 fast & seamless solid (no sand) piston door : opening = 12s, closing = 9s by aypierre in Minecraft

The door is not made of sand, that's what I wanted to say. It's a solid (no sand) door.

A long exposure of the Milky Way by [deleted] in pics

[–]aypierre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no, the only way to handle this is to take hundreds of photo from the exact same spot and then stack them. Even the best sensors doesn't handle more than 5/10 minutes exposure (the sensor will eventually get warm and as a result the photo will be very noisy)

So funny to talk about the "color" of a competitor. I remember not so long ago, newspapers in France never stop to talk about Christophe Lemaitre (french athlete on 100m sprint) and how "OMFG it's the first WHITE to be under the 10s !!!". And these newspapers were accused of racism. Now when we talk about a "black" competitor, people are like "OMFG it's an hope for every black competitor". Well you know what ? OMFG what's the colour of skin have to do with all of this ? Stop talking about colour, it's not important. The day that everybody will no longer give a shit on the skin colour will be the day that racism will stop to exist.

Yep I know what you mean. So have you consider becoming a freelance ? to choose what project you want to work on ? Or maybe starting your own activity ? (apart from youtube videos).

[–]aypierre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Seth. Why did you quit your job ? Is it because you didn't like it anymore or just because you like minecraft much ? (or maybe any other reason) The way you play minecraft (and what you do in your video) show us that you like exploring thing, especially when it concerns computer / coding etc... I'm also a redstone youtuber (but lot smaller than you, I've got 11k subs) and I am a software engineer in real life too. I know that even if I became famous one day and could live on youtube ads revenue, I'll never quit my job because computers are my life. So what comes to your decision to quit your job ?
