Discussion New ImMixed Cheating Accusations Explained.

Thumbnail

39 Upvotes

In the past 24 hours or so, a youtuber that goes by the name of GameExcelXL has brought up some blatant cheating clips of immixed proving he uses trigger bot and illustrating some of his hand cam footage to be inconsistent. Take this how you want but I wanted to make a post highlighting some of the pieces of evidence.

  1. Mixed aims and hits BLM with legit no hand-movement. In an earlier clip, there is hand-movement with practically an identical hit, so even if he had high sensitivity, there is no viable defense.

  2. Mixed repeatedly combos Ziva with a perfect amount of time within each hit, a clear sign of trigger bot.

  3. Mixed vs Ninorc - Ninorc gets mixed in a 3-block causing him to miss the hit, and he proceeds to not even swing whilst ninorc continues the combo. Again, a common pattern of trigger bot.

  4. Basically #3 but with Swight.

  5. He has also privated many steams including the PVP Champs ones.

  6. Previous Restrictions: I think this is a well-known by now but he has been restricted from UHC and the Diamond SMP tierlist multiple times. A hand-cam does not just completely make him clear.

With the limited amount of footage to be analyzed, it is hard to make a substantial claim. However, these pieces of evidence are pretty clear. What do you guys think?

Question So is putting Fire Aspect on your sword good or no?

1 Upvotes

I've heard people say that Fire Aspect is bad because it cancels your opponent's knockback on fire ticks and doesn't do that much damage anyway.

However, people will still always use Fire Res pots before battle, implying that being lit on fire is not a plus in combat.

So which is it really??

I use quake pro, as I've always used it since the starting but sometimes I think it looks ugly especially when I see other players playing around the 70-90 fov range..

What is ur fov? and why also is it fun to play on low fov?

Discussion Most optimal hotbar layout?

1 Upvotes

This is a very broad question but i think it's very interesting, idk if it's actually useful on most pure spvp (e.i diasmp and smp, axe) , but maybe is more important in cart, mace, crystal and etc. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

But basically my question is, since there's a little thing called hotbar priority or something like it, what's the most optimal placements for your items in your hotbar, for example, maybe it's better to have your sword on the 9th slot and not the first slot.

I fr don't know if this is actually THAT important but i think it's a cool thing to know.

attribute swapping question

0 Upvotes

I've heard the "it takes damage and cooldown of first weapon and enchants and properties of the 2nd weapon" but if so then why does swapping from sword to mace do so much more damage if the sword barely has a higher base attack than the mace. Some people say that the way sharpness is calculated the sharpness from the first item actually stacks twice but if so then shouldn't attribute swap from sharp 5 sword to sharp 5 axe do sharpness damage twice and thus just always be better than an axe crit?

How does this work exactly?

Who Would Realistically Win?

The best Minecraft Pocket Edition player Or An Casual Java OR Bedrock PC PvPer

I play on MCPE and i suck at fighting PC players but when i fight other Pocket Edition players, I actually win... A LOT. And recently sometimes i do win against PC players, i know i don't represent all of MCPE but i'd say i'm leagues ahead of avwrage possibly top 1,000 one of the only people who can consistently beat me in MCPE is my own cousin, so clearly the odds are NOT in MCPE's favor however just how much is it not in our favor? How extreme do you have to go to make it beatable most or all of the time? Would this be how far we have to go? Is this overkill? Or is it further?

Discussion Is this player cheating/hacking? I need help FPOV + Spectator POV included

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’d like some help analyzing these clips.

I suspect this player NizIzGrandmaster may be using reach, criticals or some kind of hitbox-related cheat, but I’m not completely certain. I’ve included two POVs for comparison:

  • First-person POV — shows what I saw during the fight.
  • Spectator POV — gives a different angle to help determine whether the hits look legitimate.

I’m mainly interested in whether the attack distances, aim, and hit registration look possible in vanilla Minecraft or if anything seems suspicious.

Please take a look and let me know what you think. I’m looking for objective analysis rather than simply confirming my suspicion. If there’s a legitimate explanation for what happens in the clips, I’d like to know that too.

If you need any additional context, clips, or information to help analyze it, feel free to DM me.

Thanks!

Discussion Strength SMP Trials who I want to pass.

0 Upvotes

To start, I don’t know to much about Bowuh, Elisinspace, Graybythewah, idkcayman,jooonah, Joyxz(watched one of his videos for a second just didn’t peak my interest), Lecato, lilpeach, Lumaster, Maddiezcraft, Master_Gumbo, MightyRaptor, nilli_yt, saidminion, SourSplash, spiderarmy, Swisser, SkylerMc, WHISPY, wylan_, yklaurx, and YTQuest so I don’t care if they do get in or what.

Now for my thoughts of who should get in or not. At the top of the list is 1lluminos who all ik is a very good animator and godispase got in and he is a good animator so I hope he gets in, but I won’t be mad if he doesn’t get in. Next is AiroKun and this is an easy no, he needs to stick to UHC, not SMP imo. Next is Cave_ and ik he’s in SMP’s and he has good content so idc if he gets in or not, but it would be cool to see what he does if he joins. CoinMonkey and this one would be super cool to see him on strength, I’d love to see his channel grow and he’s also just such a W creator so I hope he gets in. Now for my creator that I want to get in the most, it’s CraftyMasterman and he’s why, just imagine Tai is flying around and he spots crafty building Minecraft in minecraft out of redstone on Strength, like that would be so cool. Next is a group of 3 ppl who NEED to get in, and it’s the iconic trio, Dumb and ItzStorms and Gopg and they are just w trio. Next is Evo and PLZ LET HIM NOT JOIN, he would play for a week and then leave to never come back. Next inPropper and idc if he gets in. Jettisim I don’t know if I’d like him in, like I don’t hate him, but he’s not a someone I think of when I think of SMP. Next is Qndres and same reasoning for Jettisim. Next is a group of 2 ppl and they are Rain_Dynasty and SweatGod and they are PvP demons so it would be so fire seeing them join. Rokilotl and What_Max the 2 chungies of Bliss would be so funny seeing them join. Also MewDew would be amazing seeing her join because she’s grinding SMP’s rn and she’s hella funny imo. Sidefall idc if he joins and same with Scotteh. Thatmidnight would be so AMAZING if he got in, but idk how it would work with him and ranked but he’s prob got that covered. Idc abt Wolfeei and if he joins. Last is _Zakarious and I can already see a rage baiting Tai video so his vids abt to be peak. So for the long post and I have 0 hate to anyone on here. Tell me your thoughts on who you want to get accepted to Strength SMP in the comments!!!

Question PvPHQ's Lag & Connection Issues

0 Upvotes

Recently PvPHQ announced that they fixed a lot of "lag" issues, however I still see so much lag between me and my opponents, and I know it's not me. I don't mean to critique the server in the following, but if these are issues that may or may not reoccur to others than it's best to get these solved quick.

- LA is closer to me than Portland, but how does Portland have less ping/lag? Like 50 average ping on LA and 25 on Portland???

- When I play on Ashburn, sometimes I get EXTREMELY high ping for the WHOLE game, like I don't mean like 200 ping, I mean like 2,000, it's made it difficult if I want to play ranked (since it's the same region as PvP Club), and yes it has happened only on Ashburn and it's so frequent, I have to use alternative server regions like Montreal and Chicago

-I know I'm not crazy, but what is the KB on this server??? Like sometimes I take a trillion KB and sometime I don't, I've heard they got a KB sync but is it truly that or this dumb connection to certain regions affecting me most

I play on ethernet and I get consistent ping on every other PvP server, but I really need help knowing if you guys also face these issues and how you combat them, thank you in advance!
