PvP damage

[Galaxy219]

So I'm pretty new here to loka and saw that the damage was increased by 33%. I saw this and didn't really know why and thought it was just to change things up. Then I saw that this was added during 1.9 when regen was insane where fights lasted hours in just 1v1s. But now in 1.12, Minecraft has fixed that itself and now this extra damage isn't really needed and just makes people die in the matter of seconds if attacked from behind. Just my thoughts don't know if others will agree.

The toughness attribute added to diamond armor in 1.9.1 is the reason for the damage increase. The only "nerf" since 1.9.1 was in 1.11 with the exhaustion changes, where regen was changed to take 6 saturation instead of 4, but in the same changes they also decreased the saturation consumed from various other actions, including attacking, getting attacked, sprinting, and jumping. Because of this, the changes didn't nerf combat endurance much, if at all.

See here:


Back when 1.9.1 was released we did a lot of math on the subject before making the change which you can see here:

Basically, death needs to happen in Conquest fights; especially in large ones. Vanilla makes it too easy to stay alive so Loka has to make changes to keep the gameplay balanced and interesting.

I like the 33% extra damage. It makes it a lot more fun and dosn't make everything to easy. It also makes you be more careful when fighting.

While I like the 33% extra damage and agree it should stay, I appreciate the post as it's good to bring things like this up from time to time. To reevaluate some of Loka's systems and see if they are still necessary.
