Take a Glimpse at 1.9 PvP :D by Ingigo August 17, 2015 at 8:08 AM UTC

It actually looks good at the moment in my opinion. It's definitely an improvement from 1.8 but R.I.P Hybrid Blockhitters :/

^.^ Below, write your opinion on it! We should most likely go to 1.9 when it comes out.
Edit: RIP PvP. In Minecraft's latest update, they kinda ruined PvP. There's no skill involved in it now, we use aiming and Strafing which requires skill but timing requires none to be honest. RIP PvP 4Ever & Ever.

hybridblockhitting is still a thing :P just put a shield in your second hand

Zintenka August 17, 2015 at 9:08 AM UTC

Has a lot of mechanics and it looks smooth enough in my opinion. This makes pot pvp more difficult however xD

The arrow that outlines entities will create great tactical gameplay especially for monument defenders who have access to tag tunnelers for everyone to see.

I do not get what the huge backlash is about.

Glitchaye August 17, 2015 at 9:08 AM UTC

Actually looks fun

badgg August 17, 2015 at 9:08 AM UTC

This actually looks more realistic, although, nothing in Minecraft is...

Would be interesting to implement shields into bow battles.

Spoookeh August 17, 2015 at 9:08 AM UTC

I actually love the look of this and it'll bring a whole new dimension to all of the Avicus gamemodes.

Well it should do anyway, but it won't.

Zegita August 17, 2015 at 10:08 AM UTC

Yeah 1.9 actually looks fun but people who are like used to older versions will be like ew wtf combos are shit etc

Spoookeh August 17, 2015 at 10:08 AM UTC

Well it should do anyway, but it won't.
Why?

BmB August 17, 2015 at 11:08 AM UTC

Why?
I don't want to start any more staff bashing than there is but you know, the time for the first tourney and Avicore to come around ya know don't get them hopes up.

ImTheRealBakugo August 17, 2015 at 11:08 AM UTC

Wtf I dont like nothing 1.9. I see a bad pvp upgrade. Why they put shields, and different types of arrows. That is not good. At least for me.

Vobaseball12 August 17, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

Looks a lot harder, and skill will even be more needed.

Sphrynax August 17, 2015 at 1:08 PM UTC

Honestly...








rip pvp guys

Vobaseball12 August 17, 2015 at 1:08 PM UTC

Also, aim is important with shields....https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dnLUOa1q39E

Myv August 17, 2015 at 6:08 PM UTC

Do NOT make Avicus 1.9 only, PLEASE.

No one cares about these shields, they're crap.

Was that motion blur or am I really stupid?

Nice video btw

xMasterSlayer August 17, 2015 at 9:08 PM UTC

I actually hate the idea of dual wielding and fear it will change the game too much

BoldAndBrash August 17, 2015 at 9:08 PM UTC

Looks good, but is it true that shields block all arrow damage? It was hard to see in the video. And I also heard that swords do half a heart of damage if the person uses a shield, which sounded kinda bleh.

Mojang is finally going to back to releasing decent updates, it seems. :)

SWEET_Johny August 18, 2015 at 12:08 AM UTC

As much I was not looking forward to the update, this actually seems pretty decent. Still not a huge fan of the different arrow varieties.

Pavlo August 18, 2015 at 1:08 AM UTC

This looks very interesting!

Dyspa August 18, 2015 at 1:08 AM UTC

Honestly, I was expecting this update to be a lot worse but it really isn't now that I've seen a decently made video about it. I also heard somekind of misleading info aimed to this update ruining the game through it's pvp bases but hey, Mojang made something good for once and I gotta admit this looks extremely fun to play, more skill will be needed and the game overall won't be as boring as it used to be by now.
EDIT: Or should I say Microsoft? Not sure.

Okiba August 18, 2015 at 1:08 AM UTC

Could take a little bit of time to get used to, but I think I will be able to recover c:
Rip block hit :C

It is true, but maybe a certain level of the power enchant would rek that shield. And only if the arrow hits the player in the front, where the shield is facing.

Interesting, thanks. :D

Welp, Microsoft ruined pvp, Swords need to charge up be4 they do damage, and be4 the charge up, if you hit stuff I think the sword still uses durability :P

Um...You do know there is a way to disable it on servers and in singleplayer...

Wot. How come you will play 1.9 but not go on Avicus?

CHANGES CAN BE A BAD THING

PieZ August 22, 2015 at 12:08 AM UTC

Woops, learned how to effectively combo in the new update. Oh I mean this is killing the pvp aspect ;)
