The EMC Survival Update!

  1. Hmm.... I will come back on at like 2-3 pm your time and see if we can.... Can you ask jeanzl....
  2. Just so you know, I wouldnt want to be a new player atm... I would have no chance of surviving in the wild or wastelands.
  3. At the spawn rate of the rare mobs, you should not have issues with them.

    Marlix is super easy to run away from. Momentus on the other hand... will likely kill you before you get away if no armor, but I will be adjusting the spawn mechanics so they cant spawn too close to players.

    Momentus is kind of easy to see... so don't go near him and you won't die :)
  4. Wait... so you're telling me... that my wither skeleton farm has been NERFED?!?!
  5. I removed the teleport line temporarily.

    Once you've logged in and out, the message will no longer show. Basically a critical bug was changing our world data every restart... I had to do emergency maint to restore the data file, but we should be good now.

    But if you logged in during the bugged period, your player file will have saved a broken one and youll get it once more on logging in back to the corrected data.

    If anyone was really far out and got teleported to town, contact SrStaff to be teleported back, however we can only send you back to the last logout location we have stored for you in that area, and not arbitrary coords.
  6. Gives you crazy bad perks at first, but then resistance for like 4 mins to everything. Check out my post on page 3 for the list.
  7. No spawners can not spawn special mobs.

    Only natural spawns.

    Um, the head should of kept its special data. Contact ICC to get it repaired if it has lost its specialness.

  14. Thing is, as ICC said in a previous post on this thread 'if you have god armor you shouldnt die in 1 hit' normal players like 50% of the players today have less than 20k. God armor, as I understand it, is worth more than that due to MA and now probably raised in price due to this update.

    I like the idea of rare mobs but it was kinda lot to take in when you spawn from getting kicked during an update but then come back and an 85 ft zombie spawns next to you.

    Im not asking for a refund cause I can get that stuff back it'll take a bit of time but I can, Im more worried about newer players, and the huge amount of danger in the wild now that the normal mobs are more difficult, and the rare mobs are even harder.

  15. Guys! I found the best way to kill Momentus! Drink a zombie virus right before nearby, and wait for the negative effects to go away. Then you are invincible for like 4 minutes. Kill him!!! It does wreck your armor and sword though.. I did it with Smite 5 Loot 3 Unbreaking 3 sword. Hope that helps!

    I wonder if its called "Zombie Virus" because its intended to fight Zombies....

  16. I think he means that they added wild shops and if they did please confirm with a picture
  17. If you are invincible, why not take your armor off! :D
  18. The rare spawns were balanced with a normal diamond armor set without enchantment.

    It's an endurance battle, but enchanted diamond armor with good player skill should be able to survive.

    Momentus only does around 1-2 hearts of damage to a full unenchanted diamond armor set.

    Here is momentus's damage potion effects:
    Code:
            Util.addPotion(entity, PotionEffectType.INCREASE_DAMAGE, PERMA_EFFECT_LENGTH, 5);
            Util.addPotion(entity, PotionEffectType.WEAKNESS, PERMA_EFFECT_LENGTH, 6);
    That comes out the formula to be:
    Code:
    50 + (3 << 5) - (2 << 6) = 18
    His base damage is 18 (Giants are usually 50, so it 1 shots unequipped players, and I lowered that)
    Players have 20 health. I also believe the game does some other defense to players cause I swear it only did half damage to me.

    Also, momentus and marlix are rare spawns, so not everyone will be running into them... It takes multiple hours before another one will spawn.
