Hello!

[Legion9191]

Hello everyone! I just signed up so I could keep track of FTB development, looking to use it as a replacement for tekkit. (Im not a fan of EE)
I figured what better way to make my first post than an introduction thread?
I am Legion. Im an admin on the HollowWorld Medieval Minecraft Server. (If that is considered advertising, Im happy to remove it, I know it can be an issue.)
Though it is primarily medieval/fantasy roleplay, we do have an offshoot server that runs tekkit. Id heard theres a new mod pack being assembled that has all of the best parts of tekkit, minus EE and plus a few great others (portal gun for example) so Im excited to see what direction FTB takes!
Now, just because I love forums (and spend far too more time on them than I should) I suppose I should tell a little bit about myself in real life!
I work as a defence contractor with Argon ST. Im absolutely terrified of spiders. ( I know, weird combo)
I love Minecraft (obviously) and forums (probably also obvious).
I also love debating about issues of politics and economics, but I will restrain myself to remain as professional as possible on this forum until I know all the proper threads and subforums, and get a feel for the community at large.
Thats all I suppose!

Welcome to the forums, defense contractor with Argon ST huh? Sounds like a solid career choice.

Welcome to the forums!

EE won't be missing for long - it's slated to reappear in the next major update of FTB. But it won't be your dad's EE - EE3 has been completely rebalanced from EE2.

Welcome! Argon ST, how noble. (Sorry I know I'm stealing QueWhat's joke there).

 

[Legion9191]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes!
Disappointed to hear about EE, but I can always just disable it
Who knows, maybe if its reasonably balanced I wont have to.

You should check out the changes to EE3.

From MC Forum:-

What features are in EE3? Is item X/Y/Z still around from EE2?
I haven't compiled a final list of what is in EE3 yet for the public, but here is the short list of what is in/out;

• Red Matter has been removed
• Collectors have been removed
• Condensers have been removed. A suitable replacement with new mechanics will be added in the future.
• The Destruction Catalyst/Hyperkinetic Lens have been removed
• The EMC system will remain, but it will be changed to accomodate new and more interesting mechanics
• There will be a method to move EMC around in "wires"
• More configuration options will be available to both players and server admins
• EE3 will feature an API, which is not complete at this time
• A transmutation system similiar to the Transmutation Tablet will exist, but is not ready to be disclosed at this time

So hopefully it will be balanced.

Finally! The summoning ritual succeeded!
Legion, the demon/demons from hell! I summoned you to destroy this forum, kill all the men and enslave the women!
When you are done, You shall repeat your act over at Technic, and all other MC mod/modpack forums, until nothing remains!
Then, finally, my plan to take over the world of minecraft will be complete!!! MWAHAHHAHAAAHAaa!!!


That is, of course, if you are THE legion.
You know, the Legion mentioned in the bible?
Or did I dial the wrong number again?

 

[Legion9191]

I know of the Legion of which you speak.
However I chose this name because a Legion is an Ancient Roman army, 6000 strong.
Anyway, that looks excellent belone! Collectors and condensers were my biggest issues.
