DrqPvpKilledTheMod 0.10 wasn't a PvP update lmfao, it was the challenge update where new bosses got added. Not a lot changes in terms of PvP. The main things were Kamie's usage time got lowered and Future Sight now breaks faster depending on damage (which were both done by Wynd, not me). Then you have the Shi Shishi Sonson changes which prevented you using it midair because it was extremely dumb to be able to go even higher just using Shi Shishi Sonson, Zoro had to use a whole ass 2 sword style technique just to prevent him falling to his death, it barely lifted him up at all, and yet you think Shi Shishi Sonson would allow him to teleport midair? Nah.
Fortunately for you, Air Shi Shishi Sonson is being added back, but if you use it midair, it won't let you teleport further upwards, fixing the initial problem I had with it to begin with. You've named nothing other than Air Shi Shishi Sonson that "ruined" the mod, and if that's the only issue then that means the mod has been improved since it shouldn't be carried by a single move.
I don't even PvP anymore, and I significantly enjoy 0.10.5 PvP over 0.9.5. The reason is because I got bored of the same repetitive stuff all day everyday. Meli has a job and plays almost nothing for too long nowadays, Axey still PvPs to this day.
You can go into the community servers if you want to find active servers. Even in 0.9.5 only 3 servers were ever noticeably huge, and that was the ones I mentioned before, so nothing has really changed.
