    Making a Minecraft Division for GFLClan (take 2)

    in Abandoned

    Posted

    Although I like the enthusiasm and the experience you say you have, a lot of people here are skeptical of yet *another* MC server attempt. It's been tried before, just never picked up.

    Even something as low as 5-6 gets people interested quickly. I already have ways of getting the potential server out to the public in other ways, since I’ve befriended multiple small-time streamers with a minimum view count of 8-9 unique viewers every stream. Most of my moderation learning has come from moderating Minecraft servers. I know the plugins like the back of my hand. I know I have the ability to make this work, and I am 100% confident I will have the drive to not just start this daunting task, but to follow it through until GFLClan as a whole sees its last player ever.

     

    While this seems promising, I believe a minigames server is definitely NOT the way to go. When you have the big boys like Hypixel out there, you will have unmatched competition that will blow GFL away and it'll just be another failure. My opinion? Go with something unique. A type of server that doesn't quite exist like this one. But again, good luck convincing anyone important enough to make it happen that it's worth trying again. 

    What's your experience with a VR set? Is it worth the money?

    in Off-Topic & Random Questions

    YES. 100% YES. 

     

    I got an Oculus Rift S back in July of 2020. As long as you have the appropriate space for it, it's fantastic. I became a huge VR enthusiast because of this. And if you already have a bunch of VR games at your disposal, you're already in good shape. It's immersive, it burns calories, and it's incredibly fun. 10/10 would recommend VR to anyone interested. 
     

    Regarding my specific headset, I love it. I thought the price was great for what it offered. Oculus recently released the Quest 2, which allows both wireless play and PC-powered play for a grand total of $300, a hundred bucks cheaper than the Rift S. I'd do research on which headset you want to fit your budget, but if you have the money to spend, I think most people would agree that Valve's Index is definitely the way to go. 

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

    Okay, so I've made a conscious decision to not purchase the game, at least not yet. I love Fireteam: Dirty Bomb, I love the new Warzone updates, and that's pretty much it. I played the crap out of the BOCW beta, and I'm playing it again for this free MP week, but I'm realizing more and more that I'm simply just not a huge fan of the game itself, and would prefer MW if I were to compare.

     

    First off, in my experience the game is just poorly optimized. I'm playing 1440p on a 1070Ti, i5 8400. I have to play at a much lower resolution and crank down every visual setting to the lowest to get decent frames. 

    Second, regarding MP, it brings nothing new to the table. No new gameplay mechanics, (yes, the killstreaks don't reset after death, that's a minor and interesting change and I like it but nothing NEW new), and nothing else that really adds a new aspect in the COD franchise. It's just - cod? Which is fine for a lot of people, but the MP gameplay loop gets old quickly. I love some of the maps though, Armada Strike and satellite are great new maps imo, and its good they're bringing back the OGs (Raid, etc). 

    I think it's also great they're following in MW's footsteps regarding free content. I think it's stupid they're pushing the whole free content thing when that is becoming a norm for games now - you pay once and you generally get free new content throughout the year(s). 

     

    I haven't played campaign due to not purchasing the game, but I LOVE the direction they took with that. Similar to BO2, multiple endings and outcomes that are determined by your decisions throughout the game is a fantastic way to carry out a campaign, and if anything I'd probably be excited for that the most. I've always been one to play COD campaigns religiously because I think they're underrated. 

     

    And I don't have an opinion on zombies. I don't not like it, but I've never been a big fan to begin with. BO4 zombies was actually very fun, only when playing with other people. I've never played any OG cod zombies games.

     

    I've grown up playing the MW games, I've never really owned any BO games until BO4. I loved BO4's gameplay, but everyone knows Craptivision ran it into the ground with aggressive MTX practice and ridiculous P2W weapons. So I'm not a big Black ops fan in the first place, but I have nothing against the series whatsoever. BO2 was a classic and many people's favorites.

    Considering the game went on sale so quickly for $40 at base price, I have, and still am considering picking it up anyways for the whole experience. I know I won't regret the purchase entirely, because let's face it - even the "worst" cods can be fun in some way. Shoot people in the face for XP = dopamine. 

     

    Basically, MW did it best imo. I am still a huge fan of that game and the original MW trilogy, and I'm curious how IW will do on a sequel. ted talk is over

    It's been a long time since I've played, but I think it would be fun.  Do we need accounts or anything, or could we just visit a site and play against others?

    Well I personally prefer Chess.com, you'll have to create an account but it's simple from there. I think most sites require an account unless you're playing bots. 

    Chess division?

    Believe it or not, chess has been blowing the frick up on Twitch. I've been obsessed with it myself the past couple months, and I get that it's "boring" in comparison to video games, and may be not as popular here but I think it'd be awesome if there were some active chess players in GFL. Are there any? And if so, we should play :)
