I didn't even realize they had released any part of 1.9, let alone the whole idea of new combat. I looked it up, and it looks pretty cool, but also looks like I'll have to use a bunch of new keys, which is always kind of frustrating to learn at first. I think the whole left hand and duel wield things are pretty cool though, and I'm really looking forward to it. My prediction on release is early next year!
I'm really interested in how these changes will affect combat and gameplay, not just in our server but in every PvP and PvE server. It's going to be a very interesting change, and I'm looking forward to it. Not looking forward to learning to use new keys though
I would just laugh if 1.9 was delayed and they just released 1.8.8 or something I'm currently excited for the new update!
I am really looking forward to the potion-tipped arrows and new blocks. I also heard they were introducing shields, that can be customized like banners. Already thinking about how to implement these into redstone / building creations! Hopefully release won't take as long as 1.8
This is what i do when 1.9 comes out: 1. Getting a new Gaming PC 2. Getting a Wifi Cabel plugged in #BetterWifi 3. Rek every scrub i know > 4. Buy some ice cream
