The big thread about 1.8

BullseYe · 07-10-2011, 04:10,

Who else is excited for this? If the damage is going to be scaled there's definitely going to be some player HP increases, armor tweaks, changes to PvP, and etc. It'll be just what I need to suck me back into minecraft!

I personally can't wait for it!

I'm kinda iffy on the new bow mechanics. On one end, bow's will deal more damage, but it'll take a lot slower to kill someone. And I'm not sure if it is going to be scaled. It'll either be a the longer you hold the mouse button, the more damage kind of deal, or the only can do damage bu holding down the mouse button to the point where you can shoot kind of deal. If you know what I mean by all of that. But if one of those situations is the case on all of this, no more arrow spam for kills. Laugh

Meh, just heard of this.
Stay, your talking about like those simple flash games where the longer you hold the mouse the farther it goes, and harder the impact right?
If thats the new mechanics, i'm iffy on that, more realistic, more complicated, eh.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. If it is like that, that's what I won't like to much. Still, PvP will be a lot more balanced now, so its not just a "who can click faster then the other guy" bow fight.

I like the new mechanics. With the current one you can just spam the heck out of the bow.

You begin to hear pin-prick footsteps on the dirt outside, then the sounds of digging.
Your wolf begins barking wildly as your front door suddenly bursts apart....
