The Deep dark

This only applies to server's that include the deep dark

So i was playing project ozone, and whilst loading in got shreked by zombies that i couldn't kill due to the mass server lag that comes with a modded server as well as the spawn protection kicking me because i can't damage mobs inside the protection, and my response when i asked for help from a mod was to try and run away. I was looking through blocks and realised, That etheral glass stops mobs getting in, this will decrease the chance of mobs getting in to almost 0% and will prevent alot of deaths (I've lost up most of 6-7 lives to the deepdark whilst loading in and fighting lag zombies) Maybe a cage inside the protection to prevent player's breaking it, also the glass allows players through.

 

That sounds like a good idea, I have the same problem when I teleport to other dimensions - Lag for about 20-40 seconds (In that time I am on a black-striped screen and LOW F.P.S after it loads in. Why Dark Ethereal Glass tho? To keep light from going to the outside?? Plus this would not work unless you had some way of preventing mobs because they can still spawn in lit up places. (Extra Utils Magnum Torch or Ender IO Obelisk)

 

normally they do have ethereal glass

 

would also recommend the magnum torch if its in your modpack.

easier to setup, and well it also provides some light

 

@Ben85 This is a good recommendation but mobs tend to walk in from the dark zones as the spawn zone is coated in torches.

 

But doesnt that make things easier, the fun of the deep dark is to try not to die as its harder than most worlds

 

@SirStudMuffin You miss the point of the thread, we Can't survive because we DIE whilst loading in or due to SERVER lag, meaning we don't have time to try and survive.

 

what armour you wearing

 

It's always going to be in the modpack this thread is for servers with deep dark which is from ExU. The magnum torch is also from ExU :}

 

Again, I was using dark steel armour and Steel armour and died regardless because of lag+Slow load times, i spawned in eventually with up to 5 hearts and then died when 3 zombies surrounded me and then stopped moving and damaging me, i flew away and then exploaded. This has happend to other people and as i said, The mobs walk in From the dark chunks around the spawn. So i doubt that a magnum torch will stop it.

 

Well theres your problem, steel armour only has the same protection stats as Diamond
Try with some better protected armour and get back to me

 

You don't seem to understand the issue at all, the deep dark is supposed to be quite a easy to get into area, that it is But dieing in spawn Because you can't fight back at all is stupid. You attack the zombies = Kick, you let the zombies kill you = Loss of life and your items, the server lags = Death. Some people can't always afford Draconium armour, also Dark steel armour with Max empowered level = death still?

 

-_- i just said test it for me so you can see if you get the same results, you seem to have got very defensive here.
Im just making sure all basis are covered

 

This thread was made BECAUSE i died in that set of armour >.> Fully charged and I had my system running as best as it could

 

Also normally youd spawn in the box at the top of the deep dark, i guess when people spawned they fell through it[DOUBLEPOST=1469200816][/DOUBLEPOST]

 

Nawp, i flew upwards and there's no hole identifying where you fall through since the entire chunk is protected

 

hmm can you give me a number of seconds on how long it lags?

 

No this is the server lag, it spikes, Sometimes fora good few minutes sometimes it doesn't it's very hit and miss but tends to be around every 10-15 times an hour. the lag spikes lasting around 1 minute to 30 seconds, This is WHilst the loading screen is still there

 

I know its server Lag im not stupid -_-
Any AE systems show up on the system

 

I don't think draconic armor should be required to survive in the deep dark...
