The EMC Survival Update!

  1. I can give you some nice armor and a sword with a bow and a few arrows if u want to help you :)
  2. Lol when I got back to minecraft after looking here I was being attacked by enraged skele and enraged zombeh...
    EDIT: Can mod please tp me back to town please
  3. Rampaging around the Wasteland is now quite fun, I admit!

    I notice that bows fire Shiny Arrows before normal ones by default when both are in your inventory. Is there any way to stop this, so I don't fire shiny ones fighting normal monsters?

  4. Like the arrows in ur hotbar is the ones u shoot
  5. But even if I've got normal arrows in my hotbar, Shiny Arrows elsewhere in my inventory are still used up first

  6. This is hard, but with full enchanted armor and a good sword (sharpness 4 or 5) that 3 monsters wouldn't really be life threatening. If you don't panic. (Why didn't you go back and get the stuff?)

    You can have full (max.) protection for less than 4k. No need for expensive equipment.

    Now, to check the armor prices and give you reliable figure, I've logged in and found myself in the desert where I was hunting. I was soon chased by one enraged zombie and one enraged creeper. I was going backwards while shooting at them, so I ran into another bunch of skeletons and zombies. Then I killed some other skels and zombies along the way.
    Outcome:
    Loss: 4 and half hearts and some armor damage
    Gain: 9 emeralds, 3 diamonds, skeleton head, golden chest and boots (damaged), arrows, bones, z. virus bottle, 3 bows (damaged)

    Excellent!
    I'd like to suggest two solutions for you:
    A) ask friends to help you, go mining together, build safe ways to several mines
    B) ask fighter types to protect you. give a share of the stuff you mine to them.

    I guess you won't have any problem getting help and mastering the situation ;)
    Have fun! :)

    PS:
    See? :)

    LOL :D ;)

  9. Bite. Yesterday, I died while fighting an enraged creeper, with a god bow and full diamond armor. In water.
  10. You shouldnt have worn the 60k member armor a full set of Protection is better..

  11. The point remains
  12. I was never addressing the point just stating that if you want to survive get the right gear or use your environment to the fullest and all your options, 60k member armor may be really cool but not all of it is that much better than gear you can make yourself.
  13. An enraged creeper.

  14. After the update last night I saw a boardcast that was in all green text saying, "We aware of hunger going down in town. It is due to a bug in ____. We will try to fix it as soon as we can."

  16. (Currently there is a secret bug that not many in this thread has posted yet. Looting + Fire Aspect = Lower Drop rate.)
  17. people are ignoring the fact that this update was designed with two intentions

    1. getting people out of town
    2. encouraging people to group up
    ^this is the second most valuable asset you have at your disposal

    • if you die they can grab your stuff
    • more firepower against those fast moving mobs that can only focus one player at a time
    • intel on whats around you whilst you build whatever to keep you safe
    so in conclusion if you cant handle normal mode heres some tips
    1. wear armor (it doesent need to be full diamond iron works just as well)
    2. use your environment to your advantage (also dont stand around in wild at night if you arent down for a fight)
    3. bring a friend
    4. set a bed nearby so if you all die someone can gather stuffs

  18. Of course, Right after I get a looting 3 fire aspect 2 diamond sword...
  19. yeah it tends to "burn" your loot before it drops i think surprisingly knockback has saved my loot a few times lol
  20. This may be a normal part of Minecraft, but I cannot put Looting 3 on a sharpness 4 Fire Aspect 2 diamond sword. Is this a bug?
