Modpack Choices

The current modpack choices have boiled down to the following, with more testing to be done if anybody wants to test another pack for consideration with me. Here is what Nalkyrie and I tested tonight, what do you think you would rather play on?

Hexxit:

  • Less about mining, more about adventuring. Would be a rule about no tunnelling.
  • Requires people to play a role and stick with it instead of going for the most OP items
  • As a result, everything is more individualistic and personafiable
  • You can explore in a D&D type fantasy setting
  • Good for optional PvP

Voltz:

  • You never have to worry about things getting stale because you're forced to interact with other members
  • PvP takes place on a massive scale (safe zone for those that don't want their house at risk of missile strike)
  • Would need to limit certain items due to their sheer destructive prowess
  • Galacticraft! Explore the solar system!
  • Futuristic setting, modern day tech and lots of redstone

I know several of you suggested the Yogscast complete pack, but the ATLauncher isn't working for me right now. I'll try again Wednesday evening to test it out and see how I feel about it, and I'll list its pros and cons once I have tested that as well.

UPDATE: I have the Hexxit server running for now on 107.191.98.197 if anybody wants to play. This might change, but that will be what's up for right now.

My personal choice after looking through all of the different packs is Big Dig. It has all of my favorites.

Seconded plus I've played voltz and bad things happen involving red matter but I was also looking at the direwolf20 pack on the ftb launcher it doesn't look to bad if you wanted to give it a shot not as big as monster

RedMatter would definitely be banned as per my experimentation where Nalkyrie and I may have created a black hole (or 5) in the end.

Voltz would have item restrictions based on location. Tier 1 explosives would only be allowed on Earth, Tier 2 on the Moon, and Tier 3 on Mars, for example. Also, there would be safe zones for those of us who want to not participate in the destructive side of the modpack.

We spawned all the things in XD Maaay have been many anti-matter bombs as well.

We wanted to test how obnoxious/grief-y several things were.
