So what has the staff team planed for raid?

Currently I don't know the current direction of raid. It seems that it has taken a back seat which is obviously disappointing for everybody involved in the gamemode. KOTHs and the End Event should have been sorted before the release was announced, however this was not the case. I've tried to take a more active role in the game-mode but to no avail. I guess we'll just have to see what happens in the near future.

If you do go, you will be missed and I'm sorry that I couldn't do more.

 

I can't speak for raid specifically, but broadly speaking the plan is to update backends first. It's not particularly exciting but it'll mean that future (and more interesting) updates will be easier to push out.

The trade-off of course is that there won't be immediate plans for big sweeping updates, but if there's things you want to change that won't take up too much dev time, make sure you suggest them on the forums and we can look into them.

 

I think Putty mentioned it somewhere already - once the backend comes out updates will be easier to implement, so that‘s what the staff team are waiting on right now.

 

will it be a restart, or will the current map will be backend-ded with all the stuff in it?

 

Change to full 1.7 and old plugins back "og"

 

I’d like to see the map updated to 1.12, with all those features EXCEPT the combat (leave that 1.8).

I would kill for an elytra

 

Request that some way if this were to be done you make it 1.8 compatible. otherwise i can rest in peace forever and say goodbye. 1fps is just not right for playing raid xd

 

The game mode had a potential but was overlooked. It did not get as much advertisement as it should've and it lost most of the playerbase because it isn't the 1.7 version, as well as it wasn't moderated good enough. the staff weren't as interactive with the gamemode as they used to be 3-4 years ago. If you wish to have a good pvp experience, it must be in the version 1.7, That's just how it goes for pvp servers/gamemodes, however most staff aren't big into pvp and fully understand that. I'd personally like to see "Raid" (Survival PvP) alive and healthy, but unfortunately it is too late unless they get some serious advertisement and update it big time. for now I've already quit and just hop on time to time to see if any updates are out. I still like the gamemode because this was one of my first servers I joined, but unfortunately for the gamemode, newer staff came aboard the staff team and had no clue what to do for Raid to make it better thus just killing the playerbase. The KOTH idea was pretty brilliant at first but had many faults because KOTH is for HCF not Survival stew pvp.
however maybe one day in the future Raid/Survival pvp will make a comeback and be awesome again, and hopefully ill remember the server if that ever happens so I can play again

 

Elitekits
Arcane network
VeltPvP
Minemen Club
(I apologize for the advertisement if it's considered that, did not put actual IP's)

The biggest pvp servers currently. All 1.7 and above,
"PvP doesnt have to be 1.7 to get many players."
There isn't a single real pvp server that is popular and loved by the PvP community that is 1.8 and above. You're just another person that isn't involved in the PvP community and have no idea what PvPers want. (I apologize if I offend any of you but it is the real truth)

 

Servers like The Hive, Hypixel, multiCube, mineplex are all 1.8 compatible
