Re: Hardcore Info stories

"....man, how far down am I? It's gotta be just about bedrock by now..." One thing I've noticed related to this is that it oddly makes the MC world feel like it occupies a larger vertical space to have F3 disabled. Not knowing what height you are at while mining downwards gives the impres...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.21)

Dudes, try thinking about ways around this before you say "OH noes." I've only been thinking about it for a minute and already I've come up with: Plopping a sign in front of you with your IGN on it for the other player to read. They can then /tell to that IGN with a code phrase, and you ha...

Re: [4.21] Jade Dragon Realm (Anarchy) Updated

I would do an anarchy lets play in a heartbeat. Sadly, when I tried recording while playing, I got this really annoying frame skip every two seconds. I just don't think my computer can run minecraft and desktoprecord at the same time effectively. Also, I may just go sacrifice myself in the name of s...

Re: [4.20] Jade Dragon Realm (Anarchy) Updated

Oh right, I forgot to look for that. It's late and headphones hurt my ears. Oh well, a beating heart is acceptable. I came back and cleaned up a bit more of the mess. The staircase isn't back to bedrock yet, because honestly it's not part of the colossus and I won't fix it unless I need that mine ag...

Re: Flower's Dev Diary (Week of October 8th)

I'm waiting until some of these changes you hint at are in effect before starting a new single player game. I want to know what the challenge is before I start designing defenses.

Re: PvP vs. PVE

I'm also not being entirely stupid. I have a hidden base (or two, or three) in addition to what I build above ground. Also, I'll defend myself, and I reserve the right to go nuclear on people who constantly harass me. You may argue that these last two clauses disqualify me from pacifist on technical...

Re: PvP vs. PVE

Dude, I've been completely open about. I intend to remain completely open about it. I'm not telling anyone else how they should play. But I stand for cooperation in an hostile environment, sharing resources, and above all refusing to be afraid of my fellow players. It's not much, but it's the best p...

Re: PvP vs. PVE

Other players are the environment. Planning for the actions of other players is the same, conceptually, as planning for the actions of mobs, just more difficult. PvP vs PvE is really shorthand for Competitive or Cooperative. It's the difference between the servers listed as "Friendly" and ...

Re: [4.20] Jade Dragon Realm (Anarchy) Updated

You know, fixing your "improvements" while I drank my morning coffee was actually kinda a nice way to start the day.

Rotating Acc's NSEW markers 180 degrees, though, was hilariously genius. Several people got really really lost today. Good thing I navigate by clouds.

Man, if asking for voluntary non-aggression is "restricting your freedom" you must be super pissed when people tell you to "have a nice day." I'll do what I want, facist! Everyone who likes the colossus, go take a good look at it so you can see how it's build. It's basically the ...

Re: [4.20] Jade Dragon Realm (Anarchy) Updated

I play anarchy as a lone wolf as that is how I most enjoy it. MC probably appeals most to me as a game about surviving on your own in a hostile environment. I share your enjoyment of it as a survival challenge, or I obviously wouldn't play on an anarchy server. My own goal is to build a functional ...

Yeah, the workshop would take me like six minutes to rebuild. It's totally low tech and mostly for convenience. And if you can booby trap in in the space I left without it being obvious, I'll be impressed. Anything in the chests is free for the taking by definition. I'll take that promise not to kil...

Re: Is Anarchy gameplay realy that much fun?

Well I totally get the idea of the thrill of the danger. I wouldn't want to play on a server where everyone pre-agreed to cooperate, because that would be boring. That's why I haven't really spent any time on the friendly servers. I get the additional challenge part. I get solving puzzles. It's that...

Well obviously I can't speak for what everyone finds fun. I meant "Help" to mean "assists in fully experiencing the game." Which isn't quite the same thing, though maybe related. I sometimes find it odd how gung-ho you are about PvP, considering how you've outright stated that co...
