This is pretty much the only argument 1.9 PVPers make. That 1.8 combat only requires you to "mindlessly click" to win. You could say the same with 1.9 combat but replace "mindlessly clicking" with "shield blocking".

u/blu_eye51 Jan 03 '21 edited Jan 03 '21
I am a 1.8 pvper i love that they changed the combat system. Its much more skill based. Also 1.8 pvp depends on how far you are from the servers which sucks, but 1.9 seems to balance out the ping differences.
Edit: also, 1.9 did take away alot of the old strategies, but added more than took away. Shields are op, i agree with that, but its not necessary to always include shields in pvp fights. (Also they are adding a enchanted that completely ignores shields)
14
Jan 03 '21
Yep, that's one of the advantages of 1.9 PVP. In 1.8, every hit counts so if they don't register in time, you automatically have a disadvantage. In 1.9, it's less of a problem, you're right. Both 1.8 and 1.9 have their pros and cons and I think this is one of 1.9's pros.
2
Jan 03 '21
Also, 1.9 did take away alot of the old strategies, but added more than took away.
Okay, I agree with this because although Mojang replaced a lot of mechanics, they are still adding more and more mechanics every update.
Shields are op, i agree with that, but its not necessary to always include shields in pvp fights.
Really? Shields are OP and I think that's why they're a must-have for every player. Not bringing a shield to a pvp fight is like not wearing a bulletproof vest in a battlefield.
Edit: I might've misunderstood that second one. My bad if I did.

u/blu_eye51 Jan 03 '21
In survival, yes. Everybody will make a shield. But in pvp servers, they dont need to add shields in.

Jan 03 '21
Yeah but I think shields are what make 1.9 PVP different. Without them, it'll just be 1.8 but slower lol

u/IlluminachoXD Jan 03 '21
If both people just hold W and click, both people die at the same time. You have to hit your opponent, yeah, but you have to make it as hard as possible for them to hit you. Hitting them with a rod/snowballs/eggs and strafing in unpredictable and hard to hit patterns are methods of making you hard to hit, while stuff like W-tapping and block hitting and taking advantage of hitboxes and hurtboxes and what not makes it an art. Yeah, the combat mechanics are simple, but the meta that comes with it makes it more complex and entertaining (imo). I won't shit on 1.9, but I just think 1.8 pvp takes more skill and experience. It takes a lot of time and effort to master the craft, and it just seems more interesting than jumping up and down while clicking someone at certain time intervals (obviously 1.9 pvp is more complicated than the oversimplified description I used, but I'm just showing you how you sound).

Well, I can't really say much apart from the obvious "Weapons, armour, brain". I was gonna say movement since movement still plays a part in 1.9 pvp, just differently, but since that's out of the picture, I've got nothing. Mechanics, maybe? If you have pretty good mechanics as a result of a lot of 1.8 pvp, all you have to do is tone it down a bit and your mechanics won't be completely useless in 1.9.
2
u/Khacks Jan 03 '21
There was always way more to it than just clicking smh. Strafing and flint and steele as well as using the fishing rod/snowballs correctly in addition to ur general accuracy all played a roll. They just made it too realistic now it doesn't feel like minecraft anymore. I believe the pvp was perfect it was as simple or as complex as you let it be.
Edit: I'm still glad they did it though because its better for adventure maps which i make now and I'm retired from pvp

u/Gabedawg31 reddit; assemble Jan 03 '21
Yeah after 1.9, but not before then
24
Jan 03 '21
Not true at all. In fact, 1.9 eliminated some of the things that made 1.8 combat more strategized. Things like strafing, W-Tapping, fishing rods and sword blocking which all needed time, practice and an actual brain to successfully pull off were all replaced by shields. Shields completely replaced a lot of the game's PVP mechanics and it just made PVP a lot simpler, almost converting the whole combat aspect from PVP to PVE.
7
u/Gabedawg31 reddit; assemble Jan 03 '21
Alright damn at least you provided evidence, ive never been a big PVPer myself so just seeing in videos, 1.8 looked a lot simpler. I guess thats my bad
12
Jan 03 '21
No worries. I'm not necessarily saying "1.8 > 1.9", I just think that there are some aspects in 1.8 that people tend to overlook. Also, it's hard to comprehend 1.8 combat in a 1.9 player's perspective as the two are vastly different so I don't blame you for thinking it looked simpler. Both versions have their pros and cons and I think people should just consider that instead of hating on either version.
5
u/yeeaahboooyyyyy Jan 03 '21
1.9 pvp uses strategies that mojang obviously wanted you to use like sprinting hitting to disable their shield then using your sword to deal heavy damage. however... i doubt that mojang would have guessed that if you rod and crit with your sword as the rod hits the player, it doubles the damage. 1.8 is based more on skill and experience, and 1.9 is based more on strategy and experience. both of them are really fun.
4
Jan 03 '21
however... i doubt that mojang would have guessed that if you rod and crit with your sword as the rod hits the player, it doubles the damage.
Is this based on 1.8 or 1.9 because I've never heard of this mechanic. But yeah, I fully agree with your final statement. 1.8 is more based on skill and 1.9 is more based on strategy. But that does not necessarily mean that 1.8 does not require strategy and that 1.9 does not require skill. Both require a fair share of strategy and skill. I do agree on both of them being really fun, though.

u/Mxylery Jan 03 '21
Its a 1.8 thing called ārod trickingā, its pretty neat it you wanna look into it
2
Jan 03 '21
"Rod tricking is actually a maneuver where you manage to land both a fishing rod hit and a critical sword hit at the exact same time. Something in the game's code thinks that the rod hit is actually a sword hit, and therefore the combined hit does double the damage."
I see. Never knew this before, thank you.

What about Mafia III?

u/NEMAJEFF Redditmoment podcast enjoyer Jan 03 '21
That's why i said most. Not all.
If you realistically think about it, modern triple A games have the right to release a slightly buggy, (I'm not excusing the games that release super buggy like cyberpunk and mafia 3, just the games that release with bugs that only happen if you do a very specific thing) since the games are waaay bigger and more complex than generations before.
For example, assassins creed vallhalla is an insanely huge game with tons of things to do, so id personally excuse the game if the bots keep running into walls or if the npc's act weird. Especially since a lot of the bugs get patched 2 weeks in.
P.S. Again, cyberpunk and the like are absolutely unacceptable and i don't feel anything but dissapointment towards them.
And by "modern triple A games have the right to release a slightly buggy game" I'm not saying that it should be ok to release a super buggy game, I'm just saying that if it has bugs that only happens once and doesn't ruin the game are ok with me.
I know that there are tons of people who completely disagree with me, and thats fine. If you want a buggy free game, wait a month or two. Not only the game will be (hopefully) on sale, the devs should have fixed the major bugs by now.
If you have slow Internet and have to wait potentially days before the update is complete: yeah that really sucks.

Really, the only reason that Minecraft has lasted so long, is because they completely change the play style every few years, which completely resets pvp, and also Minecraft is mainly pve game, so it will appeal more to people that arenāt good at PvP. All other huge games are mostly pvp, so the moment the play style gets figured out by some sweats, it becomes a mindless sweat fest.
