1.7- Happy? or Nah?

[JoePNG]

1.7 is back!
That means better pvp!
But is the lag worth it? I think it will be fixed soon!
Will you be happy to know and play on the re-entrance of the 1.7 MCSG generation.
Well, 1.8 or 1.7? You decide.

Bugs come with big updates. They will pass. Personally, I'm content with the update. If you're not- well that's your opinion. I also think this is the right direction, and will improve things around here.

Well, I agree with the 1.7 update I personally know the lag will pass, and the community will be back like; ThatoneTomahawk, Huahwi ( He stopped for like 2 months, and now he is gone ;-, and a lot more

I'm not. Here are a few reasons.

• Minecraft is a game that is constantly evolving and adding new things. Reverting back to a previous version means we aren't getting to experience the game as Mojang would want us to. We're just staying in the past, not comfortable moving forward. It's been consistent that people complain right after they update to a new version. They just don't like change.
• With the addition of sea blocks and other tools for builders, this means that we cannot utilize them in our maps. Myself and a few others were working on a map that we hoped would do well, but with the announcement of MCG revering to 1.7, it meant that we had to postpone the project for probably a very long time or maybe just ditch it for good. A big portion of the map contained sea blocks, and we wouldn't be able to reproduce it utilizing older blocks. This would also apply to any other maps that contain 1.8 material in them.

Apparently 1.7 is supposed to support a better PvP experience, but since I rarely ever play MCSG anymore, I don't have the opportunity to reap the benefits like most others are.

I'm glad. We had to suffer for 3 months with an NCP obviously not designed for 1.8, but now we can enjoy the server much more.

When 1.9 comes, it will either be similar to 1.7 PvP or ruin it entirely. If the first happens, then there's no problem switching. If the second happens, we'll just stick to 1.7. Hopefully that won't take months for the staff to realize.

"back to a previous version means we aren't getting to experience the game as Mojang would want us to." Well, Mojang also wanted us to go to 1.7 when it came out, so why can't we revert back into our most RECENT update of Minecraft? Well, we can. They never said, "We want you to ONLY move foward, never look back." Now did they? No.
"It's been consistent that people complain right after they update to a new version. They just don't like change." Why can't we complain? Well, we can. We like the version 1.7 more. That's why we complain... "Myself and a few others were working on a map that we hoped would do well, but with the announcement of MCG revering to 1.7, it meant that we had to postpone the project for probably a very long time or maybe just ditch it for good." They never fully moved back to 1.7, they made it to 1.7, and 1.8, So you can continue on your project, You can just also change out the 1.8 blocks for the 1.7 version of MCSG.
"A big portion of the map contained sea blocks, and we wouldn't be able to reproduce it utilizing older blocks. This would also apply to any other maps that contain 1.8 material in them." There are maps with 1.8 blocks, when people go on them on 1.7, they are reverted to the closet block to the 1.8 block version.
"Apparently 1.7 is supposed to support a better PvP experience, but since I rarely ever play MCSG anymore, I don't have the opportunity to reap the benefits like most others are." If you "rarely ever play MCSG" why should this affect you? Also, 1.7 DOES support better pvp "experience".
I would also like to say a qoute from Bonnie Blair, "It's sad to know I'm done. But looking back, I've got a lot of great memories." That is saying that we miss the past, and we want it back. (THIS SUPPORTS MY CLAIM)
Now lets look at a quote to support you,"Looking back isn't going to help you. Moving forward is the thing you have to do." -McKayla Maroney. This is saying that we SHOULD move into the future and leave the past behind. Unlike me, we learned new things in the past that we should not forget, like I want to live during the battle of Thermopylae, but I can't. I want to live in the past, but I can't. That doesn't mean I can't use and try things from the past. Does it? No.

I am happy that they switched it back because 1.8 was unstable for pvp. Also people where getting odd hits.

 

[JoePNG]

I uhh, I think I over did it...

 

[mikag35]

I played a game on 1.7 and the PvP was actually worse than it was on 1.8. I'm going to be sticking with 1.8 (even though I most likely won't be here much longer anyways). Any PvP that has the sprint button is pretty bad in my opinion, it completely takes skill out of the game.

Actually, it was probably the lag. They'll fix it soon..

Overall I'm fairly happy because the most of the community seem happier and glad that the staff listened to them. Personally I will still be using 1.8 as I'm used to it and it's features:3
I think it's a very unfair on the map makers who have spent many hours working on something only to find it can't be used anymore. But I guess a compromise has to be made :c
Plus the new hub is much nicer in my opinion and I like the new parkour
