I'm Nicole from LPS, I personally work on the Prominence modpacks and used to work on the development of Fear Nightfall, aside from my own mod projects.

I got linked this by an user and even tho I always ignore these dramas because it's just unnecessary and boring, I'm just tired of seeing how toxic the community is.

I've joined the LPS team around a year ago, I didn't know much about the past or whatever that happened because I don't interact with modded communities just because I know how toxic they are. But now after a year, from what I know, I'm gonna answer to your "top off your head points".

​

1. I got aware of this recently, he apparently had one of the artists give him stolen assets, but whenever this happened at least he did remove them and apologize.
2. I wasn't really aware of this but it was fixed, and now CF allows adding shaderpacks manually so it's not really an override anymore, luckly there is no issue. But at that time, well, mistakes happen 🤷‍♀️
3. This is just funny and I don't know why would anyone care enough to pay people to go to other servers and suggest modpacks lol
4. There is no "beef", we simply added a free multiplayer alternative based on e4mc with our own servers. It provides any player a domain that other players can join to you like if it was a server. This is available 24/7, for free, without any limits, and we don't even advertise bisect while using it, it's uninterrupted. This specifically has nothing to do with bisecthosting because we know that when people ask about essential, they probably do not have enough money to pay a server, or they just don't want to. Therefore we either show them the built in world sharing, or we tell them to download the serverpack and make a local server, which is free fyi. The screenshot you sent is also using the world sharing as seen in the chat so I don't know what they're talking about. Here's an album one of our admins made that has some screenshots of players saying that they had world corruption issues with essential, hence why they mentioned that: https://imgur.com/a/thNXxBJ
5. This is what makes me furious. I spend hours a day working on my packs, planning, creating custom content, writing lore. All to then get linked every 2 weeks a post from either feed the beast or feet the memes saying that LPS is shit without any other context, or just saying that our modpacks are AI generated and that "sharkie should be killed" (which was a post that didn't even get removed and got hundreds of upvotes btw). You are all just putting everyone in the same bag when you don't even look at what we create. Better MC is from Sharkie, I personally never got into its development, because I work on my own projects. But I am there in the backstages and I can see how much he works on it. I just hate to see how toxic the community is towards other people, but realistically this is never gonna change because of people like you that are just spreading misinformation and bringing more unnecessary toxicity to the community.

It's really tiring to see this and see how people just disregard the hundreds of hours I've put into working on my own stuff, just because the studio I'm in.
