And for everyone complaining how mod "X" isn't in this pack or that mod "Y" is, do remember that this pack is to showcase mods that are new to FTB and that may appear in future packs. In my personal opinion I feel that the FTB team went out of their way to choose a good variety of mods that will allow players to do everything they usually do with the more well-known (and somewhat overused) mods.

This.
I've read 3 pages of complaints, mostly by the same 2-3 people.
Stop complaining. Try the pack. Don't like? Don't play. Its a rudimentary (known) silent rule of gaming.
It does not change a pack to repeatedly stab your opinion in the thread, hoping it will puncture and make something change. Engrain that in your mind.
As for me. I'm racing the world for a cassis tea tree. I did some research, and I'm going to focus on 3-4 mods to learn them. AppleMilkTea2 is one of them. Aura Cascade. EE3. Mekanism/Matter Overdrive.
I've been very excited to play this pack, and realistic world gen is incredible, paired with Streams. Flowing rivers in minecraft. It is a thing now.
Show off your worlds people! Say where you are! What are you doing now? What mod draws your attention most?
