I think we all know what this is about, yes. 1.8 pvp, back in the day when 1.8 was enabled, EW had a great time. Then I remember, 1.9 arrived while we were in a midst battle of Erebor. For a while we have fought with cooldowns and most of us didnt like it. Then Tim removed it, and it stayed so. I think EW's Golden days were with 1.8 pvp (and versions below this). I played some 1.8 pvp when I was at skywars in a server called cubecraft, and this was an amazing feeling I want back. Combo's were a thing in 1.8, Archery wasnt totally destroyed, No Shieldspam, Troll wasnt OP (even though many people say so, it really wasnt.) So I want to ask the community if we can vote on what version we would like for EW. It doesnt look like EW has a great future infront of it currently, but I think with 1.8 we atleast can grow a little, before it will be too late. We all miss those great battles. If the server will go down, atleast let it be in 1.8 (or below). Also when we somehow begin to grow in numbers, we would like old maps back that dont need many people to play it, like Moria.

VOTES
 
who the fuck voted no? o.O someone is too lazy to switch verision of mc?
 
1.8 PvP is alright. But 1.9+ Isn't going anywhere the logical point would simply be to get used to it. Atlhough, 1.8 pvp is decent, it's too fast and is more agreeable to hacks like: triggerbot and killaura. 1.9+ Negates this completely. While neither version is perfect, both are very efficient in getting a large amount of kills the biggest problem being people are too comfortable with just 'click click clicking' their way to victory with only the medium amount of skill it requires as opposed to 1.9+ where you have to pace yourself or simply over-power your enemy.
The good way to go if everyone is truly so desperate to have 1.8 pvp is sure, add the Spam-clicking overly fast paced battles. Keep Bow mechanics the way they are. They're fine. Fix the regen, make it 1.9+ as it was better that way. In the end it will have to be 1.9+ pvp. It may kill the server but Minecraft is only growing farther and farther with each update from 1.8 pvp. I've even encountered some who call it Primitive, funny enough I've actually found myself agreeable to this statement at some times.
But that's all just a thought. -B
 
So can someone explain me: whats the difference between 1.7 1.8 1.9 1.10 pvp?
And why do some people want 1.8 pvp when there are no cooldowns? Or did they change more than just cooldowns?

1.9 patch and onwards (no cooldowns and also with cooldowns) has much worse hit detection. This effectively means some of the hits you make against a player does not register and often causes you to die due to messing up a combo. Not only that but the knockback system has also seemed to have changed, completely messing up different melee playstyles from 1.8.

The biggest change for me was the fact that in 1.9 bows mechanics were completely changed. The maximum range you could achieve was lowered, the arrows aimed more along the x-axis making bows much easier to use removing alot of the skill archery originally had. Additionally the players Y-velocity also effects where the arrow will land / shoot from the bow, pretty much removing jump shooting and shooting while falling. When they messed around with the arrow physics it also seemed to cause a bug where if the server is lagging the arrows will not shoot as far and therefore deal less damage.

The 1.8 patch definitely isn't perfect, the hit detection has been going downhill since 1.4 (more noticeably from 1.7 to 1.8 and of course 1.8 to 1.9).
In short, 1.9 has removed a massive amount of skill from archery and melee combat and has introduced some infuriating bugs.
 
The only problem here seemingly is peoples' inability to adapt to the changes. It's different sure but it's only forcing you to become better and everyone is simply too lazy to wipe the slate clean and too stubborn to learn how to use the changes to their own respective advantages.

Hello I'd just like to say.
What the hell happened to quoting?
The quotes look really fat now.
They should go on a diet.
