So, completed BD 1!

This map is really, really good - better than most give it credit for. It's not too, hard - at least not ROMHACK. Food, which used to be a big issue, now is almost a non-issue (I collected all food from chests and ended the map with a stack of cooked pork) and the starting shelter mechanic is kind of broken, not to mention that diamonds are halairously easy. Some wools were nastily hidden, but it's not as bad as CC. I didn't look anything up. With the quick fix of an infinite night machine, the map is 100% playable, and well balanced. Don't think I didn't see the copy of Rageshadow, though.

So, um, I haven't been watching any IM Let's Plays whatsoever. I watched the first 2 or 3 of everyone's, and found it... boring. Amlup, Rosie and all of dem are awesome and so is the map and all but the videos just don't seem to be resonating with me. Am I a bad person?

I agree with this, and there are two LP's that I find enjoyable to watch atm: Rock and Joe. Especially Rock.

I have two things to say:
One regarding that mini-video posted by Rock earlier: Was that a Boomer? If yes, holy ­ are they OP.
And about mob stacking:
What about some fair mobstacks for a change?
Totem Zombie: Simply 5-10 Zombies stacked. For a twist, make the lower ones faster and the higher ones stronger.
Moving Dakka: Start with a very slow mob. What about a spider with slowness? It can climb, but not do anything else, really. Also give it negative Jump Boost. Then add skeletons as you wish. Basically that'd be a very slow moving piece of pain, with a little bit of Dakka (not enough though).
A Little Bit Painful: A creeper ridden by arrows. I'm unsure if it would work like I think, but if it does, you can have arrows shoot in random directions when the creeper explodes. And they fall straight down when he dies, so they block your way for a short time, if you just walk you get hit...
IT'S A TRAP!: Boat ridden by any invisible ranged mob. Perferrably a witch, you go near, potion just appears in front of you and a few seconds later it's IN YOUR FACE. This would probably only trick you once, afterwards you will be much more careful when approaching boats/minecarts
Actually... Let's just add random potions: Zombie ridden by invisible witch. The witch will randomly add some potion effects to the battle and can even sometimes heal the zombie when it throws a damage pot!
The Great Wall of NOPE: This one is made for Mazes with special walls. Basically you have any mob, stacked several times, and let it spawn all over the place (wide-area spawner). Give the bottom mob massive slowness, the higher up the faster they get (say, from slow 5 to speed 5 in a 11-Stack). In a wide area these would form a dangerous moving pillar/wall of doom. For some unfairness, make them electric fields (aka charged invisible creepers)
The out-of-ideas: Skeleton on top of a Pig with speed 20. Just because why not?

€: Well, this is #50000. At the moment. There are 3 off-topic posts above me sadly. Still, I got it
And obligatory custom meme for this situation:

Spoiler:

Update:

Yes, I used the same meme template twice. Dealwithit

Creeper Assasins - Pretty much Creepers on Enderman.
Fire Cyclops - Giants with Ghast's on their heads. Yeah.
Witch Pack -A group of Witches just pasted together, but with lower health.
A Real Dragon- Enderdragon with Blazes inside it. If we're lucky. the Blaze won't be see-able thanks to the Dragons size and then we have le Fire Dragon. Finally.

As the consistent voice of reason in a din of chaos of the thread, it is only fitting that I, Kevstar Spillmaster, claim the 50,002nd post with the question that remains on everyone's lips:

How much slower can the beta testing possibly be?

It took Zisteau a few months to finish Legendary. Does that answer your question?

Well... I was going to say that I didn't know how well this would go as a CTM map due to how it looked, but after looking at your thread it looks like it will be pretty good. From what I can see you've avoided Lethmyr Syndrome, so you're good to go.

Head to the sandstone caves early on.  Get iron.  Win map.

The new mob(s) is/are obviously Pandas.

Assuming Dinnerbone actually finishes them.

No monkeys? Y U NO MONKEY! I wish Dinnerbone adds monkeys and hopefully, ponies!

[HighwayWizard]

I'd love an aggressive flying melee mob to be introduced in 1.6. Maybe somewhere between the size of a silverfish and a cave spider, with hit-and run AI tactics.

Or, actually. Cliff Racers. Just give me minecraftian Cliff Racers.

Spoiler:

(or a magic-wielding enemy, finally. Witches don't count because they don't use real magic.)
also their noses are creepy

Dinnerbone and I had a long discussion about monster types a few weeks ago.  Not going to give out much info here, but basically we went over all movement and attack types in the game, and what was missing.

Here are some missing things:

Movement:
- Hopper
- Burrower
- Stationary
- Special (monster only crawls on vines, a monster that only jumps from leaf block to leaf block, a ranged golem that can only move on rails, etc)

Attacks:
- flying melee
- burrow melee
- burrow ranged
- teleporting ranged

Burrowing enemies would have to be something to implement carefully -- possibly they'd be restricted to only dirt / sand / gravel.

[Redstone_Fanatic]

Obviously we need a Dino Dimension.

These all sound awesome! maybe the 'burrowing material' could be an NBT tag with a list of materials it can burrow in.

Also, for 'flying melee/ranged' how about Harpies. Humanoid bird people. This would allow them to carry custom gear like armour and weapons and have it show on the character (in regards to this, I want more mobs that can display armour).

You can watch AbsolutePsychopath's speedrun and get a general idea of the layout of the map. Clever use of boats if you ask me.

I have a feeling I want to go on a map spree like Yuri, and I can backdate Minecraft, so what ones should I do in terms of difficulty?

Cue Hybran giving me an organized list.

Secure your island, branch out to the ribbons, and secure those as well. Get dirt and seeds from Forestmen when you can, food that's not zombleflesh will help you a lot.

Or cue Hybran ignoring you for sassing him xD I guess I'm not sure which he would do. In my eyes, the order ought to be something like this.

Infernal Sky II
Spellbound Caves
Sunburn Islands
Sea of Flame II
Kaizo Caverns
Lethamyr (the only reason this is so far down in the list is because of hardcore, and actually finding everything)
Black Desert II? I haven't played much of this map, I'm not really sure where it belongs in here.
Nightmare Realm
Waking Up
Legendary

I didn't include any of the side-SH (mini hostile, super-docile, pigget panic) but you could throw those in somewhere too.

Don't backdate Minecraft, all maps are playable on 1.4.7.

BD 1 requires an infinite night machine to be built though, and NR might too.

And start with CC, it's very easy.
If you haven't beaten Kaizo however, do that.
(what have you done?)
