    Well, dang.

    A reason to play MineZ again?

    Maybe my last few days of summer won't be so boring after all.

    Im glad about the update but
    -Tools will spawn with durability now "that's garbage"
    -The canyons are more dangerous as it was originally planned them to be "dangerous?"
    -Giants have been reworked in damage and mechanics "what is that supposed to mean"
    -You will spawn with only a leather chestplate as armor "who wants to get 2 hit?"
    -Zombies and Pigmen have been tweaked "again what is that supposed to mean"
    -Bleeding and nausea chance have been tweaked "is it that hard to be specific"
    -Zombies will have a random multiplier for "Speed" and "Health". This can either positive or negative, up to twice and down to half. "isn't that a little too random?"
    -Added a system to prevent server hopping into dungeons."and no they wont tell you how it is prevented until someone dumb enough to actually try it"
    Overall there are some good things to this update but majority are bad. To be honest im one of those wiki people so it looks really bad for me

    Definitely valid feedback. Much of MineZ's history has been a process of discovery so the vague update notes are meant to facilitate the "old school" feel of discovering things for the first time instead of being handed the exact mechanics and calculations. I've actually reassessed some of the gameplay changes myself with your observations here like clamping zombie speed and health a bit as it seems a little bit extreme. The core changes like the loot redistribution, dungeons, and bugfixes are what really make the heart of the update. The majority by simple numbers of bullet points in the list might be perceived as bad in writing, but I've seen plenty of updates for games I like where I thought it sounded great on paper then turned out to be terrible in game.

    We're keeping an eye on the game as it rolls to see what happens, but I am pretty damn confident that the changes are a net positive for the game even if some of the risks we are taking end up falling flat. MineZ itself didn't come into being by playing it safe and going with what people always thought was "good" or "possible", so I hope you will enjoy the risks we are taking in order to spice up the game and bring completion to many promised projects that got sidelined amid Minecraft updates and real life.

    Those elemental symbols in the trailer look awfully familiar ... [IMG]

    This is why they teach you not to plagiarize in school. There was someone who is no longer building with us that presented these and we weren't aware they came from anywhere specific save for being a spin on the classic concept of the elements. Since they existed in the world they were used as a basis for the lore of the MineZ world. That's unfortunate :(

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we're going to figure out how to modify the symbols to still reflect what they are intended to reflect but be representative of the work that went into the rest of the dungeons themselves. I think the fire and tree are unique/generic enough in their representation in blocks to stay as is, but the air and water symbols are definitely very distinct to that game and need to be replaced in ours.

    HYPE!!!! Too bad I'm gone tomorrow :/. After reading through the changes I think this will bring back tonnes of players to Minez, the only things I'm worried about are the zombie changes... I think that below the pigman line there shuld only be a chance for them to have lower heath and then above they only have a chance to have higher heath. Does "tweaked pigmen" mean they have a chance to spawn baby zombies again? Because I was thinking pigmen would still be hard to kill (from close range) but a bit easier if they had a 50-50 chance of spawning baby pigs/zombies so if your really lucky you just get 4 baby zombies and unlucky just a regular pigman with 4 baby pigs... I think that change would be great for the game.
