Jeb recently mentioned that 1.8 will most likely not be released on September 8th, to allow time for more thorough testing and quality assurance. Still, there seems to be a careful optimism regarding the release date - while it may not be on the 8th, it will still likely be in the near future.
On a more positive note, the PNG file containing the new food and "experience" effects was released, take a look!
Just because it's a beta doesn't mean they will send a buggy update out. If they know there is a bug they will fix it, just like if they get a bug report from a beta tester, they fix it.
Actually this is great test out the stuff that might mess up so people won't go complaining to mojang about it... & not only that but I for one think that the whole having all the blocks in the inventory already kinda sucks it defeats the purpose of mining & gathering.
by separated i mean ohh look i have sprinting done here is the patch ohh look hunger here you go
and in a week is still B/S as they are using this to make their living meaning they have no side jobs except other games to work on meaning they can stop going and doing PAX and shiz and worry about getting the damn game out
For someone who either hasn't even paid for MC or is using a second acocunt, I don't see that you have either a point or a right to complain about releases.
*Sighs* Why couldn't you release small bits of this in the past, like the experience thing first. Then a few weeks later let out the enderman, or the chicken. Then put in the hunger bar. I'm fine with waiting for this much stuff (Though im going insane from having to wait... and of course, the days seem longer and longer...) But personally I would prefer small, quick updates. And don't forget this is still in beta, since we bought it, we are technically beta testers, so we are supposed to find the bugs, and tell you about them.
But please... Mojang, all of you, please, DONT DO THIS TO ME AGAIN!!! Its killing me...
FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE SAYING YOUR LIFE IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT 1.8 PLEASE GO OUTISDE WITH REAL PEOPLE :smile.gif: it makes the waiting less intense! :smile.gif: just a tip not trying to be mean
They would get faster bug reports by releasing 1.8 now. By delaying the update not only are they making a lot of people upset but they are making more work for themselves and increasing the amount of time it will take to get a 'bug free' 1.8. After all, the idea of a game like minecraft is to get feedback from the community in order to fix bugs and other problems.
Like blizzard say's:
Soon" does not imply any particular date, time, decade, century, or millennia in the past, present, and certainly not the future. "Soon" shall make no contract or warranty between Game developer and the end user. "Soon" will arrive some day, Developer does guarantee that "soon" will be here before the end of time. Maybe. Do not make plans based on "soon" as Developer will not be liable for any misuse, use, or even casual glancing at "soon."
The patch will be released soon.
Get over it.
this is the BEST response ive ever seen on this forum
p.s. Sparx10, awesome comment
I'd prefer they released it and fixed it later than making us wait forever :sad.gif:
That is creative mode not survival mode ...

1.8 will come when it is good and ready. Patience is needed and will be rewarded methinks.
