Nerfed Fly Opinion

When I heard fly was going to be nerfed I was unhappy, but wanted to wait and see what the end result would be. Now I know. And I am very unhappy. I love to build, and having fly to build is lovely, which is why I spent money for that perk. What we have been given makes fly completely useless for building. Even with the enhanced food it declines much too quickly, even when not moving. I feel like I have been cheated out of the money I’ve spent for the perk. I appreciate that y’all listened to the people on the issue with keepinventory, and gave us a compromise. Can we also get a compromise for fly? Some way for it to work in the main world as it ought to for those of us that build? As it is now, it is really useless, and a waste of the money I had spent for the perk.

I’ve quit and left my stuff to rat. Making a quitting post later. Not logging on again until these changes are reverted which I personally believe will not happen!

make /fly cost no food in a claim of YOUR OWN and MAYBE friends and its an easy fix I believe. Yall shouldnt be given it for things like mining I feel which is why the food nerf exists but you are all getting jipped on perks you paid for like for building.

/fly in claims of your own is both fun for the person who purchased it and perfectly fair! I feel its an easy fix to a simple problem! Now I feel yall gotta carry food anyways so it isn’t that bad to say just bring a shulker of food but that takes up inventory, I think fly is fine but needs to be reworked for claims but idk.

Valid!

It’s a perk! :eyes:

And I believe it wouldn’t consume hunger! I’d have to ask though…

Update: It’s been confirmed that hunger won’t deplete while using this perk.

For those of us who have paid money for this perk, we should not have to climb our way through all of that skill to use it. Those who haven’t paid also will get this same thing once they go through the skills. Those of us who have paid are getting ripped off.

:skull: The changes aren’t that bad ur overreacting or attention seeking…
gg you have to eat every like 30 seconds when flying!! this is so tragic how DARE THE GREAT AND WONDERFUL MUNCHYMC STAFF DO THIS TO SURVIVAL!!!
Just carry a shulker filled with a random food and ur fine.

This is the only good change needed, apart from that its fine.

I think, in the most general way I can put this, it’s too fast of a nerf. The usage of /fly was making the term “Survival” a bit irrelevant considering it was useable everywhere, all the time, no drawbacks. For… I don’t know how long to be honest, I joined off the tail ends of s3 and didn’t even really play that season anyways. But that’s the problem. /fly has been that broken for the entirety of when I’ve played survival and I’m sure it was like that even before I showed up. People do not like change when a thing has been one way for so long, doubly so when it is a thing that you had to pay real money for. No matter what this was going to be an outrage for someone. It’s here that there needs to be a balance found, which probably won’t ever be reached because of the amount of players and everyone has different opinions. An impossible task, yeah.

I think /fly needed to be changed in relation to the idea of it being Survival. Because fly isn’t survival. It’s creative mode, really. And it doesn’t make sense to have such a rampant overpowered thing just freely around for a game mode like this. However the past can’t be changed and yes, a vast amount if not everyone who has ++ bought it for fly. And they’re going to be mad that the busted mechanic is no longer useable because hey, what the heck, I paid money for this and now I can’t have it anymore? And I’m not going to lie. I used /fly so much last season and I’m going to be completely honest, several times while mining I sat there thinking “wow this is… too easy.” because it was. Flying around getting stacks of gold for fun. /fly shouldn’t be allowed in terms of mining and I am going to stick by that. Too easy, and where the economy hinges on mined gold, it’s an unfair advantage to have over the free players. It really is pay to win for that.

However. From what I’ve heard, the changes to /fly already done are seemingly too much right off the bat. People still paid for it, and running it into the ground is going to make everyone upset. I think it should still be viable in your own claims, not taking so much hunger (or hunger at all? Dunno) for the people who like building and don’t want to deal with carpet still. I like carpet personally, and being able to eat and place blocks with it’s great to the point I prefer /carpet because it feels like an actual fun rank perk that isn’t literally just “have creative mode mechanic in survival game mode”. But that’s me lol. Apparently taking any damage on /fly teleports you to the ground too, which, kind of an annoying idea? I can logic my way for the being grounded when hunger runs out, because what creature in reality can still fly while completely starving for energy anyways, compared to just an injury. “But it’s a game” Tapping the survival sign again. Sometimes it’s fun to play with actual survival mechanics you’d see in real life nature. But again, that’s heavily opinionated. This whole thing is. I guess the way I see it right now is that /fly seems to feel worse than /carpet to the vocal player base and paying more money for a worse rank perk feels like you got cheated. Maybe something about these perks needs to be switched and messed around with more.

(Before anyone gets on me, yeah yeah, holy yap of yappington. Tldr; rework the rework. Feedback is important but when both sides feel like they’re being attacked it’s only going to get ugly. Frustration is valid though.)

I really just think to make the hunger decrease slower, I’ve been watching kanjo build for 20 minutes working on our claim, and I can see just how much food it’s costing to just build.
Just make it decrease slower and for ranked players make it so the skill isn’t needed.

Other than that the changes are fine and some of you guys are really just over reacting a bit imo.

No, not really over reacting. We paid for something we are no longer getting. If I bought smart TV so I could stream, and then a couple of years later the TV company comes back and takes away the ability to stream, or nerfs it to the point it is so slow it is useless… this is what this is like. We paid for something we are not getting, or getting a really really really bad version of. We have the right to not be happy about the change when we paid for it.

Yes, however with this many posts about it it’s not needed. Make one, suggest changes, and bring the post to the attention of admins and developers to seek change.
Yes we paid for the perk, and we aren’t getting exactly what we paid for. However you still have the chance to get what you used to have, in different ways. So it’s not fully taken away and really all that has to be done is slow down how fast hunger reduces.

Side note: @Candlea you have dedication to like every comment XD

I looked for another post first and couldn’t find one on it, so I made this one. And while it hasn’t been fully taken away, its become useless for building at the rate it goes through hunger. I really don’t care about its use in the mining world, but for building it is not useable as it is. I am not getting what I paid for and have been using up to this point.

Ur the only one who is making this a big deal. Just carry food on you it’s not that hard. Having fly in the first place is already a huge advantage other non ranked players have. Fly is such an overpowered perk and makes it pay to win. I own ++ and I’m not complaining about how I have to eat every few minutes. The update is fine and it really isn’t a big deal :joy::joy:

Just add fly in claims without losing hunger, only thing I agree on.

How nice for you that it isn’t bothering you to have wasted your money. I do not agree.

Fly needed a nerf, I paid for my ++ and I’m not complaining.

Most people ain’t asking for it to get buffed again to go mining, looting things, traveling far distances, or whatever, they just want it for building really. Which it’s not as good for anymore.

Reworks and buffs are different. We aren’t asking for fly to be as powerful as it used to be, to give us ++ players unfair advantages against those who don’t have that access, we are simply asking for the nerf to be changed, so that it benefits those who have purchased the rank, while still being balanced enough to make non ++ players feel like they can play without needing the rank.
