SPOILER Thoughts On 1.20.2

What are your thoughts on the beta?

 

Is good
Also tribal Mettaton lets goooo

 

Pretty cool, lots of QoL/player retention changes. The new dialogue system is something I need to get used to for sure, but overall cool system and update! I can't wait to see the item changes and/or additions, too!

Time Valley being level 25 ish makes sense, also makes content a little more balanced level-wise.

I love the QoL changes and bug fixes, for sure. New tools to make/remake/fix quests is HUGE too, since it means the future updates, patches, etc will be much better than in the past- and higher quality quests and content is ALWAYS welcome in my book.

Housing changes make housing much more creative and opens tons of possibilities and dumb builds to test!

Buffed raid rewards I havent seen yet, so thats the only thing Im neutral on cause I havent seen em yet.

 

pretty epic update ngl

 

the savannah lava pit sucks, no clock mystery, time valley mobs missing feet textutes. honestly very dissapointing, 1,2/10, but hey i mean at least we got termites!

 

I love the upcoming changes and fixes. Mythic tomes are nice :>

Housing is so cool! Pvp events etc. :)

Combat dummy is a blessing! I can skip Ragni now, haha

But I am sad to see that the Bash short buff still get's overrided by Warscream, because they haven't fixed it this patch.

 

wtf is QoL

 

Quality of Life

 

destroyed little woods apparently, OG down

 

Lots of good QoL, party finder especially is neat and it’s great that I don’t need to wait for like half an hour in the LFG

Tempo Town is a really out of place name

Housing changes are good, and I think there’s a lot of potential for improvement. However, I do not like the current system for buying blocks; the cost of blocks shouldn’t increase and there should be a way to buy blocks with mob drops as well. Beyond that, I think that housing custom games could be a really good way to fill content droughts, provided it gives players enough tools to make unique content. the main things I’d like to see for housing are
A. A way to add PvE mobs to a plot, and maybe even make custom ones
B. A way to set objectives track them (IE. A way to track stuff like mobs and player kills, and a few custom ones like flags for CTF)
C. A way to set rules for games (IE a way to set teams, win conditions, and reset games)
This is probably mostly pipe dream stuff but whatever

 

What? It's still there

 

Yeah :(
they put some small town called tempo town there, what i dont like is that it ruins the little wood. It shouldve been made like in a cabin in the woods style to fit in, but now it just seems out of place

 

Forgot about that
The only part of 1.20.2 that sucks

 

6/10

Party Finders are a pretty cool and useful feature for people who don't use Discord or the Forums.

Housing Rules can now make your House a fun place to go to to do PvP and other stuff. The Combat Dummy will be useful for determining Builds. I don't hate a single feature of the new Housing.

The new dialogue system both feels awkward and also good to use. I can't really describe exactly how I feel about it, since it slows you down when you speak with an NPC. The Dialogue History also feels a bit out of place in the Quest Book.

I'm not in a Guild so idrc about the Guild changes.

Haven't seen Flashfreeze yet so I can't have an opinion on that.

Quick Stash seems to be pretty useful.

New Savannah is pretty cool, although I have some gripes with it, mainly the Termite Cave and it not having a Queen Termite boss, but otherwise, pretty cool nonetheless. Lava Springs is also pretty good too.

Time Valley. I love it and that is why I hate it. Let me explain.

The new mobs in Time Valley really give it more life and there are some really cool additions there, like the Time Troubles, which are a great daily thing to do. There is also a brand new cave and a town in there called Tempo Town and it hosts a really cool quest. HOWEVER, Tempo Town just feels like it waltzes into Little Wood, ruining the feeling of it being secluded. I think there should be a mini-waterfall by Martyn's cabin and then Tempo Town should be below the cliff of Little Wood so it still feels secluded. Tempo Town is also not a safe spot when it should be. It is not a major city like Ragni, Detlas, Cinfras, or Lutho, but instead a minor town.

1.20.2 has good additions, but bad reworks imo.

 

I like all the new builds/quests, and it's nice to see a quest that actually affects the world in a visible way


I think the time valley and savannah levels would work better switched, that way nobody getting lost in the Nivla runs into a lv. 25 area and the savannah acts as a path towards the desert.

It's pretty weird to see the town in little wood, kind of ruins the whole ambience. I'd put it further north on the same ridge, where the farmhouse is now.

the new dialog system is annoyingly slow.

I think this is your game, I didn't notice any missing textures

 

Why does the lava pit suck?

________________________________

The forest has been saved, and the town is moved

 

I was mostly joking, but as for the lava pit, I feel like the white-grayish structure built next to it seems a bit out of place? I think it should look more like just a drilling station, not a decorated house.

As for something I actually dislike about the update, I don't like the fact that my screen will jiggle all the time when I'm reading dialogue, and the fact that dialogue will not automatically progress without player input. I wish that feature would be brought back, a /toggle on it would work too.

In addition to this, there are many lines of dialogue (eg. when Norsten opens up the Thesead gate for you) where I really wouldn't like to get slowed and have to click through that one random line.

 

There's one thing i dislike about the whole "shift click through dialogue"- thing. It wants you to shift click once more after the last line to get the whole quest book update, instead of including it in the last line, making it very confusing (at least its like this when starting a quest). I've had several times now that i go to the next phase just to see that i forgot to shift click once more for the quest book update, even though i read the last line. I think the quest book update should be included with the last line, instead of being separate.

 

It depends on what Minecraft version you use.

In version 1.12.2 the texture is missing.
