Apologies if this seems like an odd comment, but as someone who's not that knowledgeable about modding or the Curse client or any of that, I simply have a few questions in regards to this merger thing that I simply haven't found answers to. Perhaps I've overlooked them, perhaps they've not been discussed, I'm just not sure.
When I play Minecraft, 99.9% of the time, it's by myself, and it's either in Agrarian Skies or in the DW20 pack, tho mostly in Agrarian Skies. (Thank you Jaded and your team for making such an amazingly addicting pack!!!! I love it!) However, as someone who's not that knowledgeable about how to install mods, and make modifications, et cetera, one of the things I've always liked about the FTB launcher is that I just click the "Launch" button and it downloads and installs and all of that. With this new client, are we basically going to have this same type of feature? I understand alot of things are still in development, but like others, I would like some kind of rough guesstimate.
Another question I have, is in regards to how well the Curse client is going to work for someone on an older system. For example, I play on an older laptop. Launchers like the ATLauncher are nice and all, as it is nice to customize packs from time to time, and have that large selection, but on my computer, the packs ran through that are simply so laggy that they're unplayable, thus knocking me out of playing most of their packs despite my desire to do so. When some of the lighter packs work, they crash ususally after I've played for around an hour. Now I don't understand all of the technical jargon, but I understand enough to know that the launcher combined with the packs is rather resource intensive, and for someone like me who cannot afford to upgrade their pc in order to continue to play a game they love dearly, it really is disheartening. I do understand that hardware requirements increase tremendously, I ask if this Curse client will be on equal or fairly similar to resource requirements of the FTB launcher as it currently is? I have had no issues with this launcher, as far as being able to play or run or download any of the packs I wish to play so far, and would like to be able to continue to do so.
Again, apologies if this seems to be of an odd question or two to ask here, but as I've not found the answer elsewhere, I figured I'd ask here. Most people seem to be concerned as to if it will work on Linux, or how it will affect modders, and while I worry about the modders too, as without their creations I'd have lost interest in Minecraft long ago, I simply worry about how it will affect my ability to play the game. I could care less about ads on the client, I just want to be able to continue to easily install and play my games.
Thanks
