Which modpack to use?

[Chocorate]

really though, the only way I could see a point to Yogcraft is if they replaced every sound file with Simon's 7 year old screams. I guess that's the only reason people can tolerate that show, right? people are into that I guess.

I don't know why the yogscast couldn't have gone with an already existing pack like direwolf or ultimate. Or why they couldn't at least add some other unique mods like UE to make it interesting

Because youtube makes you important and you need something that goes along with your name, right?

I've also heard, 'well it lets people play with the same mods as the series'... No. Go play FTB lite or something without adding in another pack. Unless you plan on releasing the world in the launcher, don't use that argument. .-.

Yeah, one thing I liked about tekkit was unity, when someone was playing tekkit you knew the exact set of mods they were playing and could easily play along with them, with FTB there are so many pointless packs that are almost identical or just useless.

It is hard to recommend a mod pack because it comes down to personal preference, however I recommend the Ultimate pack for its wide range of mods. (If you don't like gregtech, disable it or use another pack)

 

[Lambert2191]

I wouldn't recommend removing GT. Just disable the tough recipes. If you remove GT then you might as well remove IC2. IC2 is pretty bland without GT.

maybe for someone who has played crap tons of IC2, but for someone starting out? IC2 is pretty neat.

What I more or less meant by bland was you would run out of content pretty quickly.

Uh... you still do know the mods they are using. It is just that they can choose the pack tailored most to their taste.

I don't watch the yogs so can't really confirm this... but aren't they using Flans? And that isn't in the yogcraft pack.

Yes, they are using Flan's. Either, they have not got around to updating their pack yet, or, they don't have permission to distribute it. You can't say that no one ever added their own mods to Tekkit anyway.

oh no I'm not saying because of that.. more along the lines of the "We need our own pack so that our fans can play the same mods as us" kinda reasoning.

Actually, someone starting fresh with IC2 would have a much easier time swallowing the changes Greg introduces.

 

[DaQwertyKid]

Fact: If you never played FTB before and you play Ultimate you doesnt have any problem with Gregtech, you would really love the mod, if you played something like Tekkit before you would hate it......
(Unless you deside that the mod author is totally right and IC2 is way to OP........)

I don't agree. It's very easy to get confused about the flashy recipe changes so a new player might think, rather intelligently, oh lets look at the wiki... to which they'd be extremely confused by the result.
I think the people that would have the easiest time are those that have gone through everything IC2 has to offer and become bored with it.[DOUBLEPOST=1365598610][/DOUBLEPOST]

Funny story, I've been playing Better Than Wolves before FTB(only touched IC once before that), and I haven't found the flashy recipes confusing in the least. If a bit annoying as they flashed way too fast back then.

Although I did try to start off by using chipsets where appropriate.

You're semi-right I guess, as I've seen people have that problem. Saying that it's always the case is a stretch though. Also, I find that the transition from IC2 to GT would be way more confusing, and what's worse, much more annoying, than some flashy recipes.

I mean, isn't that your case?

 

[Chocorate]

So... Yogscast is using FTB. But they are using Flan's Mod. But they don't have permissions. Not sure if the CIA will shoot me for asking, but why don't they just use Technic?

 

[Velotican]

Yogscast when using mods have always been about using the mods that make for the best videos for people to watch and distributing their full video filming pack privately. Apparently FTB is the best on offer right now, it's that simple.

I played both Tekkit and FTB sans GT and I don't hate (I'm using it now in fact). So your facts are incorrect

Me to ( see the last line)

 

[Virgoddess]

I don't think IC2 is OP. I don't think any mods are "OP". If something feels too easy, I don't use it. I use GT for the neat tools it adds, and I don't mind a little extra grinding.
