New Today On Civcraft

• Staged Humbug bow buff for tomorrow mornings restart.

New Today on Civtest

• Updated Burricos with some more bug fixes, it should be pretty close to going online without fear of crash induced drama.

• Updated Humbug, properly scaled bow buff is now online, please test it out.

Bugs And Development Focus

• Since we are at this point running our own Spigot, we should probably patch in somthing to make tile entity ticks more efficient since that seems to be most of the lag right now, I know Pruby had a proposal and even code for that which he submitted upstream, but I think somthing perhaps less dramatic got in.

• I also still require feedback on Wither spawning on Civcraft itself since I modified the setting a few days ago, are things back to the pre 1.7.10 norm or not?

• After seeing how the bowbuff worked in testing its seems that we need to modify the buff so that it's buff scales down as you make your way from power5 all the way down to the lowest level some suggested scaling values are here.

• In response to the buffing of bows projectile prot also needs to be buffed significantly, enough to be useful in a combat situation with archers as a major issue. This should hopefully help to diversify away from a single best configuration.

• latest developer log

• Civdisease!!!!!!

ttk2's thinking corner

• This is the third day of me not getting feedback on the bow buff on Civtest, if no one is willing to tell me how it works we can all figure out live tomorrow morning. The scaling value will be set to 2.

• The problem with performing balance changes to the server (or any sort of major changes) is that development is difficult to move along, the developers tend to care, but the players don't (or they just expect someone else to provide feedback) a lot of the time, but then they get frustrated and think they deserve some input when I decide that I can't wait around any longer.

• I was not joking when I discussed about it being time to make a decision between what server platform we want to go with next, its a very serious decision, we want to be forward looking and get there sooner and hopefully bring with us as many improvements as possible. I still want to try Minetest, just to get away from ever dealing with Mojang again, we can even fork that game if we want and run it totally on our own.

• I think at this point Burricos are ready to roll, I need a config with them, but with the NetherFactory stuff commented out.
