World 1.8 Support

Hi,

please drop 1.8 support this would prevent major client side buggs and lags.

Pros:
-Less Lags
-Better Horses
-no more getting pushed around if you play 1.9+
- the abillity to use new features of minecraft and the assurance that everyone will experience these features in the same way
- no longer bugs that apply to only one version
- 1.8 is 3+ years old (released on September 2, 2014)
-itemskins are useable and not missing textures (quest and world usage)

Cons:
-Users preferences for 1.8 are ignored
-Plug-ins have to be updated

 

this wouldn't fix lag and if the horses bother you you can use the newer versions

there's no real reason to exclude people who want to use 1.8

 

Mate eventually they will drop support but right now they have to update the entire game to fit the new format for 1.9+
And since all the plugins are handmade by Wynn, that means they have to hand remake.
Time is the enemy here.

 

while it would definitely take time
it would bring a lot more uh, ideas for gameplay
like im pretty sure dual wielding could be utilized in some way

 

there you go

 

The server was updated out of 1.8 only a few days ago, and now the entire server's basically on fire since Mojang made undocumented changes to command blocks. The only reason why 1.8 works currently is thanks to a plugin which allows backwards compatibility.

 

Im pretty sure one of the pros are wrong. You get pushed more in 1.9. while in 1.8, you cant get pushed at all. Please explain.

Also if really wanted to convince people for 1.8 removal, add more to your response like a counter agruement.

Also Also I said no solely because you cannot get pushed. Until they remove this for 1.9+, I will stay with 1.8.

 

I’m just for dropping 1.8 support just so we can have more features.

 

dropping 1.8 will allow for more features such as more blocks, which can be retextured

 

cool but we don't need that

we want that

 

pretty sure that was scrapped

 

I'm guessing it was scraped becouse they didn't finish the quest/dungeon that included that model.
Pretty much like 40% of Gavel that wasn't finished, becouse Gavel update was rushed, becouse people were loosing interest in Wynncraft.

 

Wasn’t there also drama or something? I remember that one of the owners left right after Gavel came out. I forgot his name, but I know he was the one that created the items “3D Glasses” and “Not a Dildo.”

 

AJ

or actually that might've been tama

 

I think it was AJ. I heard that he left suddenly without much notice. Though it could have been because of something else. However, a lot of builders/CT came and went during Gavel, so it may not just be him.

 

this pro is not really wrong. yes pushing was reintroduced with 1.9 agian but they also implemented an option to disable it.

yay an even more buggy way to support multiple versions than viaversion: protocolsupport (or viaversion + viabackwards + viarewind).
and as you said if they really updated the server to 1.12 (and also did not enough tests) then one of the cons is gone.

it would reduce the lag a little bit because the server no longer needs to translate the protocol for every other version except the one the server is on.

I'd drop purely for new possibilities of new content

 

Honestly, if they aren't already they should be updating those now, even if they don't put the updates live until all are ready.
