HG - First time back and I'm not impressed.

So for those of you who don't know me, I'm Dukoda, and I played HG on McPvP nearly every day for three and a half years. When McPvP closed, I was unhappy.

After playing a game of HG, and getting 5 or so kills, here are my thoughts:

First impression: It's 1.8
Why the hell is HG 1.8? It ruins and dropkeying and multitasking functionalities which are essential to the Hardcore PvP experience HG is meant to offer, and disables a huge part of the combat system: Blockhitting.

Another issue I had was my death.

Endermage traps. Toward the end of McPvP's days, they nerfed Endermage to only be able to teleport people from above, aiding towerers and those taking out people who mine. This was to prevent the near-inescapable traps its original form had to offer.

Brawl has had HG for nearly a year, and overpowered, imbalanced traps are still part of the game for some reason, it's beyond me out of all honesty.

To my knowledge, brawl tends to like to ignore the comunity's input. I could be wrong; this is simply what I've heard.

but if Brawl wants to win the HG community (which is split between roughly a dozen servers), they need to do two things:

1) The server needs 1.7 support.

2) The server needs developers who take input from the playerbase regularly.

You'd have me won over if these applied, and this server has the biggest advantage of having the original HG source code.

I'll try the tribute tourney tomorrow, and if I end up dying to a 1-shotting tornado, or an Endermage Trap, I'm out for good.

Peace

I wouldn't mind the lag if it were due to bugs- but they've had the gamemode for 9 ****ing months.

I'll think twice before sending you to the grave
