Uhm, that might be acceptable or not, depending on 1.9's ETA. Are we talking days, weeks, months...? It's ok to keep the anticheat with the intention to fix it, but people would be understandably angry if you don't give an ETA
We don't give ETA's as we cannot guarantee other developers being able to update their plugins in time.
Ehm, ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The key word is Estimated. Can't you even give us a ballpark of the order of magnitude? Are we talking days, weeks, months or years? Nobody's asking for a precise date expecting you to guarantee it
Problem with giving an ETA is not everyone understands it's just that, estimated. People get mad it's not out the time that was said because they assume ETA is a guarantee.
That's the thing, though. They're waiting on other plugins, from other developers. Unless those other developers have themselves released ETA's, then there's really no way to give an accurate estimate.
Ok, but then you can just explicitly add something like "please be aware that this is just an ESTIMATE and we cannot guarantee", and if anybody later complains, just reply something like "hey, you're an idiot who can't even understand basic English, please leave this place and begone forever". The fact that someone is stupid enough to not understand this, is not a good reason for depriving reasonable people of useful information. I see. That might be a problem, indeed.
I don't mind it. However, I do not like how it does not allow me to type the same line twice, or warns me for that matter if I type something in the wrong channel. I also seem to get this strange glitch that I will post when it comes up with me not being able to chat.
I was going to write a whole thing here.... then I thought whats the point.... See you in 1.9 i guess.
Super simple fix: 1.) Tell Mojang to give each genuine client a strongly encrypted unique serial number. (RSA) 2.) Verify the client is genuine over SSL through amazonaws !! It's good that Mojang checks player logins, but that's not enough. They also need to verify that it is a genuine client. Possibly employ a checksum method... Mojang supports namechanges which is a troll tool and they don't care if people use hacked clients.
You act like hacking clients can't fake that shit. If it was that easy to block hackers then games wouldn't need anticheats. (especially games with mods like minecraft)
Do we even have a somewhat close to maybe? will we have 1.9 within the next two weeks? A month? more? i'm not gonna be mad if it's more or less.
Moreover: not all mods are hacks. What about modded clients with the (legit) ECC minimap and the (legit) macromod? It's not the way to go
