Hello all, have not been around much partly due to school/work, partly due to IC. i have been playing a bit on a classmate's server and i think the mod he has running is fun, simple, addicting, and not broken at all. combined with something simple or no other mods at all it works out fantastically. the reasons for my not wanting to join CC MC are:
1. too unstable; seems everything you do can and will break the server with combos that we've got running
2. no fun; if i join now i'd take two days just to build my first diamond tool while people have auto mines that can pull in hundreds of diamonds a day. how can i have fun with that?
3. broken gameplay; as much as i'd love to be able to kill everything in 1 hit, never take damage, and have unlimited resources, this is survival mode, not freeplay mode.
my proposal: we strip the server from all mods back down to vanilla and try a mod i've been playing called McMMO, wich is designed to add a RPG feel to the game, with char improving, skills, and, challanges. some interesting things you can do in this mod:
1. upgrade your mining skill to get better yeild from mining as well as an instent mine active skill with a 300s cooldown
2. repair your gear quicky and easily using the resources it generally takes to make the item, level up your repair abilities to be able to repair better quality/enchanted items
3. kill more using spasific weapons to unlock passives on those weapons like +crit on axes, and +chance of bleed on swords.
There are many other aspects of this mod, but none of wich are broken at all, or totally alter the game in the way that IC does. the link for the wiki is
http://mcmmo.wikia.com/wiki/McMMO_Wiki if anyone wants to take a look at what it's all about.
the way i see it, our server is at a point where joining up is not fun, and actively playing when established is not only near impossable but also just as pointless. the point of minecraft is to build houses, explore mines, find rare awesome things, and have fun with friends, and all that is so much more awesome without IC..
What does everyone think? i mean, i'd love to be able to play with CC again, but as it stands i really just can't
feedback?
