Someone needs to make a sound, right now, to replace whatever sound the jellyfish makes when it throws a fireball. Gimmie some sweet sweet Street Fighter sounds.
Honestly, I'm sure the new Ghasts will be fun and challenging, and I'm glad to have a block-destroyer, but I'm kinda disappointed. I thought they'd be a more cerebral weeping angel/boo/scp-173 type enemy, which would make hell insanely creepy. Also thought we'd be able to get into hell earlier in the game: having to dig to obsidian, find diamond, and gather 10 obsidian (or is it 14? do we have to make the bottom of the frame?) in order to get there is a bit of a chore. Still, at least it means a whole new section of gameplay available for "higher levels", which is good.
In other words: Still very excited about the update, but a tiny bit let down.

You can get Obsidian in less than hour right after starting a new game. Seriously, it's not that hard.
if he doesn't fix the glaring errors in smp this entire update is pointless. i guess the biomes could be cool. but making the hell dimension so super tough (even to enter it) is pointless on smp servers where you can duplicate items with ease and never take damage.

Right now, a lot of us just don;t care about multiplayer, to be onest.
Multiplayer is not ready.
If you play it now, youre playing it as creative mode.
Just enjoy single player while you wait.
It would be awesome if notch made it so you can have any size of portal to hell. If we can, I'm totally going to blow a miniature size creator in the earth with the portal of hell at the bottom. Then push defenseless miners and pigs into the hole to be sacrificed to Notch.
Thats a waste of obsidian, I have a better design:
[] []
[] [] <-- This part would be embedded in the ground, to make it easy to walk
A waste of something that doesn't have any other use?
And you don't require a diamond pickaxe to make the portal
those who have mastered manipulating lava and water can easily make a portal out of a bucket.

Glarrng errors? From the home page (Minecraft.net) ---
"Minecraft is still in alpha, but is rapidly nearing beta. I've only got one more feature to add; multiplayer support."
They aren't errors, it's an unfinished game. In alpha stage. Chill out.

still gonna require some expertise and a lot of lava, though, which can be hard to find, sometimes harder than obsidian (at least you can get obsidian by just going straight down)

oh you mean this game is still in alpha? gee whiz how did i miss that? sigh.
the game has errors/bugs. period. alpha or not. he's promised fixes and not delivered. most people bought the game for the promised smp. still don't have it.
i am perfectly calm. but i'm not going to NOT talk about the things that SHOULD be fixed before adding pointless stupid flying jellyfish.

Yes, of course it's a waste of Obsidian. That's might be Notch's point, to make them semi hard to build.
But I'm not suggesting that's what it should look like. I'm saying that's what NOTCH showed us in his screenshots.
So basically, that's what it WILL look like.
If I'm reading this correctly, as long as the obsidian on the ground is in the shape of a portal, and you light the middle on fire, the portal is created. This would mean that it's possible to create a portal using 7 buckets of lava and 7 buckets of water (less buckets depending on how much you're willing to trek around). You would just have to make a cast around a spot, put in the lava, and put water over it to make obsidian manually. Then repeat for the rest of the portal frame.

Who are you to determine what should or not should be fixed? Are you writing the code? Also, where are these fixes promised? And if they are promised, did he give a date to when? If not, the why are you crying about it? You sound like 3 year old that can't wait until Christmas to get his new toy.

Alpha is usually the stage when developers add TONS of features; Of course, with some bug fixes when necessary.
Beta stage usually devotes more time to bug fixing, to get it ready for the final product.
(I remember the Ragnarok Online Alpha, tons of features, tons of bugs, lots of features were taken out in Beta, and more bugs were fixed then, than in alpha.)
So don't even bother yourself by thinking about the bugs right now. They exist, get over it. They will be fixed someday.
Notch does not work to specifically please you, he's making a game- his way.
It doesn't matter what you think he promised you. Just enjoy things for now, and stop feeling disappointed about bugs, you're wasting your own time and emotions. *ok done calmly explaining lol*
i couldn't possibly care less what notch wants or what anyone else wants. people have opinions and i'm expressing mine. you don't like it, just pretend i wrote "pretty fluffy bunnies" over and over so you don't get so butthurt when someone says something you don't like.
you clearly don't understand how alpha software works. but it's pointless trying to explain to people like you because you're completely unwilling to accept that you're wrong.
oh look, another couple of idiots mentioning the game is alpha. seriously you guys. get a clue.
It's much easier to make obsidian where you want it than to mine it and then build with it, like it's been mentioned, a bucket and a lava pool is all you need.
Top view, dig a trench, put in four buckets of lava, or alternate if you have problems getting four to sit still:
Pour water near (not on) and you get obisidian:
Next layer:
Repeat until you get to the top, then repeat the first step. I could probably make one in 10 minutes, depending on where I wanted it, if it was close to a lava source, then less than five. Questions are, does the portal have to be that size & shape and in a certain place or orientation?

We have to wait for the game to be released to expect all the bugs fixed
fases:
a) Alfa
:cool.gif: Beta
C) (Gamma) Release
Ware not even on Beta, the game is not released, is not even "done". We only have a early alpha or what the game will have, mayor parts of the game are not implemented.
I didn't happen to see if this was mentioned yet or not...
But look at the torches in the first screenshot. There's no fire on them, yet they're emitting a very faint glow on the ground below. So maybe when the torches need to be re-lit, they still do glow faintly. People have speculated this in the past, and this isn't proof by any means, but they may have been correct.
Also, the article says that the red rock that hell is made out of can burn forever... Notch also said that to make lanterns, we may have to go to hell. And lanterns will burn forever. I think red rock from hell might be a key ingredient to lantern-making. Maybe.
'Yoga FIRE!'

This.
Also, if anyone doesn't understand what ALPHA means:

Or, as I might have said: "lol you bought the game during alpha you IDIOTS" (i, on the other hand, am quite happy with my purchase)
