1.8 - How it ruined PvP...

I personally dislike the lighting in 1.8, if you compare the smoothness of the light in 1.7 to 1.8 you'll realize that 1.7 had a nice brown/caramel tint making it easier on the eye, then in 1.8 there isn't a shade of color it just starts at black (Darkness) and layers of white is added the further you move towards a light source. (I'm forced to use shaders because the look of it gets on my nerves so much, I know its sad)

I know this one may sound stupid, but I've noticed that when large crowds of users get together a stand on the same block it becomes extremely glitchy, as in users don't move fluently they kinda blink around, I never had this issue with 1.7 , If other people like it then it should be kept but I personally find the latest update irritating. >Blames Microsoft<

Oh and I can't use huzuni so its no fun *kidding*

 

" The rotation of potions when thrown now looks odd "

What I hate most..

Edit:
~Blockhitting doesnt work anymore. ;-;
~You cant break blocks while eating food/blocking...

 

The world was born in 1.7
Not natively 1.8

However. The restart tomorrow should hopefully fix a few things for you maybe?

@JizzyJew Come on man ;-;

 

We'll probably be used to it in a few months

And about number 6, that isn't a glitch. It is supposed to be that way. Enchanting takes away 1,2 or 3 exp levels. The other numbers are the required levels you need to have to enchant for that tier

 

You forgot to add that 1.8 has HUGE lag.

 

I'm allowed an opinion? and it was in no way offensive

 

for the enchanting. to make a level 1,2,3 enchant, you must already have level 30 before you can enchant the item you want enchanted. With this, you're able to get protection IV on a level 3 enchant because of your level 30 base.

I honestly hated 1.8 from the start. Its alright with new blocks and able to do very many more things easier than 1.7. but when pvping, the block hitting looks stupid now, your hearts flash when taking damage, and only the players skin flashes red (showing they have been hit)

For me my computer hates it, in 1.7 i get around 150-200 fps in 1.8 i'm getting 3-5. (not at spawn either)

For now, its just a waiting game. waiting for the map to be reset.

 

Number 6 isn't a bug...

 

I hate how blockhitting was kind of ruined. Some of the other stuff doesn't bother me that much, even though the enchanting is op af.
(all I got to say)

Good thing that I have school off tomorrow so I could play while all the "pros" are in school. I might try to convince Brian (The_Cappucino) to play or something.

 

I've been been using 1.8 for the past two weeks, so now I'm fairly used to it. It'll take some time, but it'll be the same for you, too. No one likes change immediately

 

You just have to look at these bugs and think, what was it like at the start of 1.7? Slow? Buggy? Just give 1.8 a chance, it has a lot to offer

 

Every big update always has its negatives. Theres things that change that we all love and are use too, however, 1.8 does have a lot to offer. It will just take us all some time to enjoy it and really get use to it.

 

i could get 100-150 Fps on 1.7.10 (Optifine) And now i get 20-30 on 1.8 (Yes...Optifine) There is literaly no way to play the game without Looking like im running my games on a freaking potato. If anyone has any solutions how to make my lag a little less rough Msg me? because at this rate i cant even Pvp (Reason why i havent been on)

You do have a point. But the major issue is that everyone dont have a ten thousand dollar gaming computer (i have a freaking potato computer) so they lag. And lag = Dirt Pvp skills. If 1.8 had no lag like 1.7.10 we would like it 100x Times more better than 1.7.10 but yeah, lag? Nobody likes lag. ._,

 

For the people who are getting lag I suggest trying this out: https://www.brawl.com/threads/32219/

 

VBOs crashes my minecraft ;-;

 

Unfortunately not all computers support it.

 

Yeah... Same 1.8 optifine i get 5 fps. Though, that what @patrickdemooij9 posted may help.

 

Hmm I got around 95 Fps on 1.7 Optifine. Now with 1.8 optifine I still get around 95
