I am really at a cross road here, i like the new idea behind both "new" modpacks.
I how ever dont like how iether of the 2 packs goes around the starting part of the game, witch for me is kind of spoiling the fun for both of them.
I don't want to discuss mods specifically (or modpacks for that matter), but i do like to say im rather disappointed in the direction things are going atm, for me it feels like your being forced into someone its point of view on how minecraft should have been. And in terms of server management you are not really able to change it unless you want to replicated the setting to all your active players true config files.
Id like to see a easier way of doing that, if even possible at all, client reading server config files to get the data for example would seem like a perfectly normal and obtainable goal for this. But then again i have no clue on what is or is not possible with in the modding perspective in terms of FTB. How ever that being sad as i also mentioned in the big whine topic about the last few events going down, atm not having it is only making things more complicated for both the pack creators as the server owners due to the lack of being able to change things without having to replicated things to your active players.
Sorry if its not more constructive on the modpack itself, but that is just the way i feel about things atm, and i feel talking about a modpack content atm isn't relevant cause i wont be able to manage the config files in a easy matter, meaning i wont be able to make the changes i would like to see making it rather dull to discuss the content if i dont like the way the content currently works together.
