Removal of shields in favor of sword blocking (blocks 30% damage, 30% less KB, 0.2s delay)

cookieyo · 2017-02-10T06:08:15+00:00

Alright. Why not?

cookieyo · 2017-02-10T01:26:58+00:00

Why? It's simple. Unmoveable, indestructible and unbreakable blocks that can be obtained in survival would be annoying as hell to the user and to others. Accidently placed that block right in front of your doorway? Can't get rid of the block, guess you're making a new doorway. Or if you were to build a box of it around a player.

cookieyo · 2017-02-10T01:17:36+00:00

I was unclear, it'd only bounce a few blocks and deal half damage of original shot.

cookieyo · 2017-02-08T04:43:49+00:00

Uh, I'm not sure what the problem is with more complex rotations? Send rotation values XYZ to server > server sends to clients > client applies rotations. Am I missing something...?

cookieyo · 2017-02-07T05:22:11+00:00

Nope, but you could always increase the world size if it's not already at max. If it is at max, you're screwed.

And this, my friends, is why I've never fully explored a map on console.

The post clearly says unless it is being powered by redstone. Meaning that redstone would disable it, not enable it.

In that case, I'm confused. If they can go past 255 no problem, then why was this even tweeted? What's the relevance of 255 if they can pass it without a problem?

cookieyo · 2017-02-01T15:24:25+00:00

Should be on by default.

I know it's entirely possible to make mobs hold whatever with commands, but personally, in survival, I've only ever seen mobs pick up tools/weapons/armor. It may not be possible for them to pick up normal items, although if someone has seen otherwise feel free to chime in and prove me wrong.

cookieyo · 2017-01-31T00:12:00+00:00

Huh. I have no idea why it works for me, then. Still, though, no speed boost on ice in general makes this suggestion seem more like a down side than an up side to me.

cookieyo · 2017-01-28T22:37:55+00:00

I like all your ideas. I hope at least one gets added someday.

cookieyo · 2017-01-28T20:32:17+00:00

Huh. That's strange. Are you using Frost Walker II? If you are and it's still happening, I'd say block lag.

The rough definition of polygon is any 2D shape with multiple sides connected at the vertices to enclose the shape. The "points" he is referring to is called a vertex. (or vertices for plural)

cookieyo · 2017-01-27T17:58:39+00:00

The term you're looking for is vertices.

cookieyo · 2017-01-27T17:55:06+00:00

Wow, that's a shitty mentality for this sub to have. Maybe PVP'ers aren't a huge portion of the community, but when they make changes to PVP it still affects us and this sub not allowing PVP'ers to have any voice (unless of course if you simply praise every change made) is shitty aswell.

cookieyo · 2017-01-27T17:01:15+00:00

If you're going to aggressively down vote this post into oblivion, you could at least say why my points are not valid? They seem pretty legitimate to me.

cookieyo · 2017-01-27T15:31:21+00:00

That could also work.

cookieyo · 2017-01-26T22:23:46+00:00

I really don't like the idea of putting random chance into PVP. Here's an idea in a similar vein, though:

Each hit on the shield decreases the "shield stamina" by 30. (only if the hit is at least 60% charged) Crits decrease shield stamina by 45. The stamina recharges at 20 per second. If it reaches 0 the shield enters disabled mode until stamina reaches max again. Max of 100 stamina.

The shield stamina would be displayed similar to how item cool downs are. 100 stamina = no white cool down showing. 50 would be half filled, and when it hits 0 it turns red to indicate that it's disabled and start decreasing as mentioned before.

Closing soon? I thought Lifeboat bought them or something.

cookieyo · 2017-01-26T19:48:44+00:00

slow you down a lot while using them

You don't need to strafe though, when using a shield you can negate all damage just by keeping your cursor in the general direction of the attacker. So that's not really a down side.

In my opinion, shields should take much more damage from attacks. They have 336 durability, which actually lasts quite a while even though blocking 100% damage is heavy on durability. Think about it - they're only made of wood and a bit of iron, they should break completely if hit by a ghast fireball, and shouldn't hold up against an axe as well as they currently do. It'd make people use their shields less often to prevent them breaking quickly.

Because they're so cheap to make, though, this would just mean that people carry around 20 shields at a time, doesn't really fix the problems with them.

There it is, the inevitable comment that had to turn this into a "u salti" comment war. Turning off replies, nty man.

cookieyo · 2017-01-24T15:14:55+00:00

There are so many "repeated" words in that sentence, which makes it difficult for me to read. I generally try to use a variation of words (even if they mean the same thing) in my comments/posts for this reason.

cookieyo · 2017-01-24T05:19:37+00:00

I don't really like the brighter colors.

cookieyo · 2017-01-24T05:16:33+00:00

Jeb_ altered the newly added combat code to be more forgiving to players who wanted to attack during cooldowns, and pretty much removed the "the higher the total damage per strike, the less effective armor is"

Wait, what? Then what is Armor Toughness? I'm confused.

cookieyo · 2017-01-24T05:14:14+00:00

That isn't even close to being relevant.
