Minecraft Forums

As a paying customer I feel I have the right to expect more.

Snapshots are snapshots:
They come with an exclusive disclaimer that these are wish-list features being tried and tested for possible implementation.

Update or else:
An update that breaks something while trying to fix something else is not an update but a bug or glitch.

12w27a was good but glitched signs
12w30a fixed signs but messed up stacked chests
12w30b thru 1.3.1 comes with a glitch that kills you when you enter the Nether

Who's idea was it to have paying customers testing beta software?

Why are we 12 hours post-update and no apology? (or even a link to get back to 1.2.5?!!)

Are you guys from Turbine or what?

Hey Notch, put down the Scrolls and straighten out your reputation issues for about 2 hours please!!! These clowns are ruining what you worked hard to make a good thing!

After getting a taste of trading in 12w27a I talked our SMP compound teammates into gearing up... we stockpiled production on goods like raw meats and tripled our wheat farming! We then made a Nether Portal in our basement. In the Nether we tunneled to the right location about 100 blocks and made another portal but didnt use it - we went back to the overworld to the corresponding location near two villages and made the overworld portal (so the right portals were linked).

Once we had our 4 portals (2 overworld & 2 Nether) we built a rail line between the nether portals and BAM! we had our wormhole! We could just go to the Nether and take the train then pop out of the Nether right by these two villages that were far away.

Today we got the update and guess what? We stuff our pockets with our goods and head out along our carefully crafted wormhole trade route and never spawn in the Nether! With our inventories full of tradeable goods we plummet into a buggy void because of a rush to market!

I went back and tried all the snapshots... and found that either we:

1) Stay at 1.2.5 until they fix things (most likely)

2) Go to 12w27a and lose all our signage (which hurts cause we have like 50 chests all labeled)

3) Go to 12w30a and lose the ability to access stacked chests (with 50 chests they're all stacked, duh!)

4) Go to 12w30b or later and simply avoid Nether Portals (making the journey to villages on foot rather than all the stuff put together in the first place!!!)

ugh!

Seriously, in my opinion, if you just fix the signs in 12w27a we would have a temporary version that would make me happy for about 3-4 weeks while you sort it out.

Good one though, plummeting our group thru the world with our inventories filled to the brim headed to trade at the villages via our fancy pants wormholes... you got us good. Congrats. Nice one. Classic. Stellar. Go pat yerself on the back for that one fellas. Really.

i was playing on my hardcoremode world and i was going back throw my portal and some how i ended up in this dark place and i started to die so i lost every thing and the world

My SMP server seems to have a similar issue. About 1 out of every 3 times going into the nether i end up falling thru the void or suffocating in some dark place.

No sweat though - I think the Mojang/Bukkit team will have a 1.3.2 out soon that should fix things. I was able to save the world thankfully so i can keep going back to the snapshot in time with all players intact but need a fixer upper.
