Hello! I'm relatively new to Minecraft, only been playing for maybe a month, and the absolute worst thing for me is the amount of parkour that this server features. I find it nearly impossible to get through quite a number of quests. I actually spent three entire days trying to pass the first year divination parkour course without success, and honestly I never passed it. I'd given up on the server entirely at that point because I was completely stuck and convinced I wouldn't be able to move on until my friend offered to complete it for me. We play together often, and even though he's been playing for years he also has issues with the parkour.
My point for this post is honestly just reconsidering some of the parkour! A lot of it is way too difficult for newer players, and there have been many times that I've simply given up on quests because I spent hours or even days trying to get the parkour right. I tried asking for help, studying the map better, tried different approaches, but I simply was unable to complete these. I know I'm not the only person with such problems, so I think either making the parkour easier or somehow setting it up so that if a player fails a certain number of times they can still move on would be really helpful. Failing that many times is exhausting, and makes me question how much fun the server really is for me since I just end up feeling like a failure for being unable to complete something that the creators obviously thought was easy enough for the entire server to pass by putting it into main quests that are required for graduation.
I think that the map makers did a brilliant job, and it genuinely is rather fun, but the amount of times I've failed or been unable to progress for days due to simply parkour outweighs the fun I'm having on the server otherwise. I've spent more time stuck on parkour on this server than actually getting to play, a fact that I find rather disturbing and disheartening.
