Hey everyone, I am here to give my opinions on why MCGamer should go full on 1.8 and not stick with 1.7. I know a lot of you here still use 1.7; I personally use 1.8 and I will state the reasons why. I am using MCSG alone for this thread since none of the games are based off PvP (other than BG).
To begin with, 1.8 is simply more fair. I have seen a lot of people saying that 1.8 is based on your connection. I would have to say I disagree with that. Coming from personal experience of being connected with 190ms on good days and 250 on bad days that 1.8 is way more fair for people like me. If you remember, back in January 19 (I believe), MCGamer went fully 1.8. Of course no one likes change at the start, including me, but after playing it for a while I find 1.8 way better for myself. I could get hits which I would've never gotten in 1.7 because of my terrible ping. People could get the same hits on me but I didn't mind that, because the same people could get that kind of hits when the server was in 1.7 because of their ping. If you didn't know, I live in Asia. Australian servers should give me a better ping but for some reasons it gives me over 300 ping. EU servers are the same, which is why I play on US servers. I can therefore conclude that 1.8 is not ping based, it's way more fair than 1.7 is.
The second reason would be the ability to use F3 + A. If you are not aware, 1.8 disables the ability to spam F3 + A spamming to locate players. This gives a disadvantage to players in 1.8 as 1.7 players basically have X-Ray and are able to locate unknowing players easily. This allows 1.7 players to sneak up on 1.8 players and creates a severe disadvantage towards people like myself. I would not be able to see people near me unless I see their name tags. There really isn't a lot of difference between F3 + A spamming and using X-Ray hacks.
Finally, there is an issue with the blocks on maps with 1.8 blocks. Although developers have found a way to replace blocks with something else, the anti-cheat forbids players from walking on top of 1.8 blocks if you are on 1.7 and vice versa. This prevents players from looting tier 2 chests on some maps such as holiday resort 2 which is quite frustrating.
That's all for my opinions and reasons as to why MCGamer (or at least MCSG) should update to fully 1.8. Leave some feedback and reasons why you think the server should or should not update to fully 1.8 like half a year ago, thanks for reading
