[Liniment]

Ah yes, who can forget the vanilla mechanics like Keep inventory, Town protections, 33% Damage increase. such classic vanilla features that are included in all Minecraft game modes!

i was referring to pvp wise not overall. regardless 33% is the entire idea of loka, and about shields its maybe the only big change they have made to the pvp other than those listed earlier.

no crystals, no netherite, no gapples and webbed bolas are some of top of my head

We will be testing this.

THIS COULD JUST BE ADDED TO RANKED AND PEOPLE WOULD BE HAPPY BUT TO ALL WOULD BE GOATED

Adding it to duels to allow the community to test would be fine, but I think the change should be server wide. It would be odd to have KB behave differently in duels and conquest / ganks

agreed

Inconsistent gameplay mechanics depending on the opponents ping would be a game-breaking high priority fix. This has always been my #1 complaint about minecraft pvp in general. HUUUUUUUUGE +1 from me

 

[Exedzx]

I cant see any downsides or any reasons not to add it, makes the game more fair for everyone in my opinion

Massive +1

 

[Phantic]

+1 i like it when people take kb pls add loka admins.

 

[Blissterz]

fix my pots and my delayed hits aswell

-1 actually because low pingers are gonna be TOO STRONG and are gonna take over the server, this addition will make lag a complete disadvantage as it is already balanced out as it is currently is (if u cant fight laggers thats ur own fault)

 

[mimo4]

this addition will make lag a complete disadvantage

This is not true. Feel free to watch the video for more details. More control over your own knockback is not a disadvantage. It is certainly something that takes getting used to, but if it made lag a "complete disadvantage" then a number of known good high ping players wouldn't be supporting this plugin, but they are.

it is already balanced out as it is currently is

It is not. MC is notoriously unoptimized when when it comes to players with high latency, people have just adapted to it via playstyle etc. but it has always been a major issue and IMO the biggest flaw in MC PvP.

It is completely fine to be concerned but if anything all this would do is level the playing field. Laggy players get more control over their knockback, but in return they will have to actual play in a certain way to reduce their knockback (rather than just be laggy and take less KB by default)

+1 even though I am semi-high ping, though suffering from ghost pots sucks and I doubt it can be solved with a similar plugin.

 

[scotrian]

yeah this is cool i think idk im not a lagger idk how it feels

I don't agree with it being added to loka. Higher ping players 150+ have to deal with potting at 5 hearts frequently, I actually like this plugin for sword but for pot this just makes lower ping very overpowered, right now you can achieve very high levels of skill on almost any ping, and each ping has its bad/good matchups, this just makes higher ping really bad

 

[what777]

The main worry would be if high ping became too bad, a lot of the server would be mad/stop playing since a lot of people on the server are not from the USA. I don't think it would affect conquest fights too much regardless of it being added, it's different from duels.

Potting wise, I think the consistent kb control that the plugin adds will help allow you to conserve better than before, though it obviously wont be as good as low ping. Related to the kb itself, as soon as the players get use to the timings, it'll be better (you still have the delayed kb). I also dont think the skill ceiling will decrease for high ping either, if anything the skill ceiling could potentially see a rise because of the added kb control. Also, finally being able to engage in crit trades without being glued to the floor!
