its not improving if your the only one here who wants that to be changed.
Also holes in your logic :
1. why would you WANT to die from a creeper? you should be glad that armor saved your dumb ass.
2 Its called DIAMOND armor for a god damned reason. Its hard as hell to make and Very tedious to look for, Its more of an endgame kind of item.
3. Your obviously just whining, and i can tell because your stating your opinion as fact.
4.Why would you throw away armor when its below 50% ? Its still reduces damage taken until it breaks! Less worry for you!
5 Armor was made to make you absorb damage, It makes you a tank in battle and difficult to defeat. and its also expensive to make.
6 we already have repairing, so shutup.
It's better, diamond swords just rape me in 3 hits with just full iron armor. I would always have to wear diamond armor to get the advantage (Which is obviously difficult to get. Of course I could get a diamond sword as well with full iron against someone with he same gear, but still gets close to a fifty fifty chance of beating the other guy. Either way, the fights ended so quick, it became pretty boring. I approve of the new armor.
Oh but the server I am in, diamond is a little more common than normal. So this can be a bit of a problem.
The armor system is too good for the crafting materials currently. Mojang overlooked the usefulness of armor and now basically everyone is invincible even on the hardest mode of Minecraft.
It could be solved by simply switching the recipe to make Armors from using ingots/diamonds to iron/diamond blocks.
I'm currently working on that right now on my own server to form some balance with the new changes but without Bukkit out yet, I just have a bunch of players in my server crafting diamond armors that practically gives them god mode.
Spending 72 iron on a single piece of armor seems a bit absurd.
Armor is perfectly fine, in my opinion. I still die from time to time. Increasing the rate of armor damage might work.
My god people. Don't you have other, more balanced games that you can play?
Why do we have to have all the number crunching and spread-sheets that your favorite MMO has?
This is a lego set with mobs.
A genius compared Minecraft to an etch-a-sketch that had the occasional alien invasion so that lefty knob and righty knob had to put their differences aside so that they may twiddle another day.
That's what this game is; A twiddle toy. It's not WoW, it's not RIFT, it's not AION, it's not SKYRIM. it's not Call of Dookey... It's MINECRAFT!
Stop trying to fix that what ain't broke.

This fine mentlegen speaks of the truth. That is all.
I think the issue is not that the new armor is overpowered, but that there are hardly any enemies in MC powerful enough to give the armored player a challenge. I would like to keep armor as it is now.

Look, you and the second poster on here;
This is a 1.0 UPDATE DISCUSSION forum. We critique and DISCUSS various elements that were added to 1.0
What are you doing? Are you going to every single topic on here saying "STOP DISCUSSING IN THE DISCUSSION FORUM!!"? :huh.gif:
I'd suggest you take a step back and completely re-evaluate your life. That's just completely and insufferably ridiculous.
To people above; I agree the armor was a bit underpowered before aswell.
I liked the degrading armor system, though that might just be me. Adding bars to 'patch' the armor makes it so if you maintain your armor it'll stay strong and not break, solving most problems with that.
If the current armor was made just a bit weaker I think that may also balance it out perfectly fine.

My life is sad and ridiculous because I have a strong opinion about things and I'm blunt in presenting this?
**** you good sir, take your contradictory statement and cram it up your ass.
After acquiring a full suit of iron in my HC game, and hugging a couple creepers. Maybe, armor is a bit on the strongish side.
But I still think, nerf it down any more, and HC just won't be worth playing.
Playing hardmode and honestly haven't gotten close to death with a full suit of iron armor (dropped 3 hearts at most). A minor change in the damage reduction wouldn't hurt. I like this new system on how the armor stays the same regardless of durability, just needs to block less damage is all.
The old way was the armor-not-working-at-all-or-so-it-seems way. I'm glad it finally works in a way that can be perceived. But it's a bit overpowered indeed, I do agree on that. Considering iron is so cheap. I haven't tried diamond armor yet, but I'm guessing that one is even worse.
But I don't know if the problem is the armor or something about the enemy AI or maybe Mojang is thinking of adding more hostile mobs that may balance it a bit. I heard the diamond armor is pretty much unbalanced in PvP though.
First, his post didn't even have any answers before your post, where you jumped head on into the unfundamented conclusion that he's the only one who wants it changed.
Second, this is a forum, where people discuss their opinions and doubts. If you don't agree with what people say, at least be constructive while saying so. No one forces you to agree with anything, but nothing gives you the right to insult people you don't know from anywhere just because your opinion is different. Beligerent people usualy aren't helpful anywhere.
Third, his point is very valid, and maybe it's your point of view that's alone here.
Fourth, if I was a moderator, you'd be either warned or banned for your rude and childish attitude.
and what you just posted wasnt rude nor childish?
Sorry if you where a mod they would remove your powers...... just saying
Hey, armor is supposed to be... armor. I'm fine with it.
Invincible? I don't think so. With full diamond armor I have been nearly killed a couple times cleaning out cave spiders around a generator. Especially the time I found TWO generators very near one another, one of them surrounded with so much web that it was extremely difficult to place torches near enough to shut it down while also staying alive.
That may be an extreme case but there IS still some challenge.
A creepers explosion point-blank with no armor kills you instantly so I think the same situation with iron armor should do about 5 hearts. Armor is meant to protect you but we're pointing out that iron armor is essentially diamond armor and the gap between naked and iron armor is astronomical(who wears leather armor seriously?).
Overreaction alert!
Oh but the server I am in, diamond is a little more common than normal. So this can be a bit of a problem.

yeah, THAT sounds like funn... :S

The forum is just a bunch of 13 yearold kids anyway that don't have the gaming background to understand why we want survival to be harder.
