Hello,
I havent played FTB in months, last I played unleashed was just released. Now I am back and I am looking into which modpack I should choose. I am a huge fan of gregtech. If that is present in any of the new 1.6.4 packs which one is that. If not which of the new packs is the most technical? Which is the most popular and which will receive the most update and support? If you can provide with any of this info that would be great. Thanks

IC2 is no longer a major part of the FTB modpacks. The most tech pack you'll get is either Monster or Tech World 2. Most popular pack is still Ultimate and Unleashed Horizons, believe it or not.

For the last question, all the 1.4.7 and 1.5.2 packs aren't being updated anymore. Only the 1.6.4 packs are being actively updated. This is mainly because nobody is updating 1.4.7 and 1.5.2 versions of mods anymore, so there's little to no need to ever update them again.

No, the most popular packs are currently Ultimate followed by Horizons.

Ic2 is going through some major changes at the moment. My guess is that ic2 won't be a major component in any ftb pack until 1.7, and after the mod and add-ons have had a chance to stabilize.

I too was very much a fan of the gt conversion. I had taken about a 3 month break from minecraft. I tried jumping into monster, but i found it a bit overwhelming after being gone for so long.

Instead, I played magic world 2 for a while, and now i am in magic farm 2. It is quite a different experience. You do get some of the new mods like TE3, but it is a lot more of a vanilla feel starting out, so the learning curve is a lot less steep. MF2 is much more of a "survival" pack than a building pack. With the combination of mods, it is a struggle to stay alive. I personally am enjoying the MF2 pack, although I must admit, I've rage-quit a few worlds trying to figure everything out.

The most interesting mod in the new packs to me is rotarycraft. This is the one I most look forward to when I move over to the Tech based mod packs.

Maybe try monster and add gregtech, ultimate deffinately was the best ftb pack to date but some of the new 1.6 mods and features make up for the amazing mod selection of ultimate[DOUBLEPOST=1391902351][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh or you could try TPPI, a new modpack with the private code: MegaSharkPunch it's in the third party modpack section of the forums and it says it's inspired by ultimate but it's for 1.6.4

Oh? Well, last time this was relevant Jaded said it was Unleashed IIRC

I haven't gotten an update on it in a few weeks, but last slow told me it was ultimate, horizons, unleashed. I do need to get another update from he or nana though.
