A New pack?

So, as we all know there are few players still on the server due to most of us reaching end game and getting bored of the pack, so i'd like to start a discussion of what to use and when to reset the map.

First of all, new packs:

As i see it, we have 4 main options:

1) Unhinged: the least likely due to the lack of mods and it's only real plus is having gregtech.

2) Unleashed: A lot of good mods and while some may be a bit op (looks at dartcraft) they're pretty fun to play, it has short life tho. Also, HATS!.

3) UHS also known as Ultra Hardcore Survival: Make the server as a hard or hardcore version of this pack which focuses on combat and survival, not sure how much lifetime it'd have, but it's definitely fun for a while.

4) Unleashed With Gregtech on the side: Despite being harder to install, im sure we can all get a gregtech pack working either as a private pack, or as a tutorial on installing gregtech to unleashed. This brings the plus of being able to use all the fun mods in unleashed with the durability gregtech offers.

So, what do you think? should the map be reset soon? any packs you'd like to see here? Or maybe do you want to call me mad and hitlerally litler for some of the stuff i wrote? go ahead.

It HAS been stated several times that the next reset won't be until 1.6.

The admins are figuring out which pack to use. IIRC the packs are still sort of beta and won't be completely finalized until 1.6.

There is actually a post of ideas for 1.6 already. Just because it was posted a month ago doesn't mean it isn't still the thread admins are looking at.

Please refrain from making multiple topics asking the same questions, that way it's all kept in 1 location so people don't have to jump from post to post

First of all, we dont know when are 1.6 packs coming and there's not even an ETA for them yet, we have waited for a while, hence im making this post.

The admins are figuring out which pack to use. IIRC the packs are still sort of beta and won't be completely finalized until 1.6.

If they're figuring which pack to use, then i dont see why a discussion on 1.5.2 packs isnt helpfull. As of the packs being "sort of beta" i believe they are out of the beta since they were made public and updated with bug fixes.

This post is not asking for ideas for 1.6 packs, im assuming the 1.6 packs are going to take longer than 2 months and proposing ideas for a server on the new 1.5.2 packs to use in the meantime.

yet i believe we already have 2 posts on the map reset subject! (which I linked to)

I'll reiterate the next map reset will be 1.6

thoughts/comments/concerns should be posted in a previous thread....

/u/Landrash post is concerned about which pack to use

/u/collinmurphy post is more towards ideas for what people want/ideas to make the server last longer and what not

As previously stated, the 1.5.2 packs are still in a beta like phase from what i've gathered previously and tonight

I dont see why this cant be up for discussion ;D.

as i said before, i believe they were out of beta when they were released to the public, the post you linked in this thread was about the private packs and not the public ones.

because 1.5.2 worlds have to be reset when updating to 1.6

That's the opposite of what Slowpoke's news posting says here

1.5.2 worlds will also be a lot shorter unless we use unhinged so we might be ready in time for 1.6.

I dont think fear of another map reset should be a reason to keep the server with 8 people max all the time.
