[Tekkit] On the Topic of Mobs Destroying Torches
Posted: October 8th, 2012, 6:50 am
I have serious issues with this choice of direction. If you want more mobs to spawn - if you want your game to be more XTREEM TO THE M4X, just don't light your mining areas. For those of us who want a little respite from the onslaught of mobs that hit way too hard, this is just a pointless annoyance.
I'm sure those of you who have already spent hours and hours on the server will be like "it makes things harder, lulz, deal with it." What you don't realize, though, is when you start on the server, you can't make armor. Iron is scarce, and without it you can't make any good armor. This leads to any and every mob two-shotting you. You'll need to just plain give up on getting your gear back, if you die, because there's no way to make it past a skeleton. And to top it off, you can't keep mobs from spawning, because that one lone block you don't have sufficient lighting for will spawn a mob that will seek out and destroy all your other torches, thus making lighting pointless to begin with.
So go on, rip me apart for complaining that you've made the game more annoying than fun. At this point, nothing you can say will make me more frustrated than the 8 attempts I tried, and died, at trying to retrieve my gear from where I died.
