That opening statement leads me into my next series of questions and rants. And somewhat uneducated opinions. Remember before you flame that I have not taken 2 hours of my time to do research on whether or not these opinions/suggestions/compliaints/gripes have already been addressed or will be, I had more important things to do, like making dinner for my children and working.
Firstly and foremost:
1) WTF is Mojang doing with our money? Seriously.
I don't mean that in a negative way. Hell if I made Minecraft and was an overnight multi-millionare (in theory), I don't know what I would do with myself. Probably drink myself to death. But honestly from a consumer standpoint I would be making Minecraft 2. ITS OWN FREAKING ENGINE. Or, a tested engine. I mean, I'm not expecting Unreal or CoD X here, just, cmon, JAVA?! Are you kidding me? How many of you have had "A JAVA EXCEPTION HAS OCCURED!" or some crappy popup ruin your Minecraft? Even when you aren't playing it!? Get your ow engine Mojang!
2) Updates
I get it. I am not a computer programmer. I don't know what is required for an update. Maybe it requires 100 people, and 1,000 hours of work a peice to make an update. I don't know. But, at the same time, what isup with these upates? Kitties? Jungles? Carrots? Okay, great, I get that you have a team that is small, independent, but c'mon? That's all you got? With like 4-6 months in-between time? Give me something, please, this isn't enough for me as a consumer.
3) Performance [MAY LOOP BACK TO #1]
Listen, seriously, honestly, c'mon. I have a $2,400 computer system, purchased ~1 year ago. I can run Skyrim, CoD: BOII, xxxxx <--- insert game @ 15,528,208 FPS. But I can't run your game without a FPS drop? I install one measly 64x64 texture pac and I drop to 14 FPS? What gies? Seriously. 2 Grand on my end, roughly 1 month of sweat and blood and I can't run your indie game at a moderate level. What's the deal here? We are talking 16x16 shaders and such? Is this because of JAVA? Get your own engine, or something, hell IDK. Something, CMON!
4) Mod Support
I don't know what I am expecting here, but, seriously. 1.4.x release! CARROTS! WITHERS! WITCHES! BEACONS! ETC.! Okay I get it, I have to reinstall addons, but, 8 days later, 1.4.x1! OMFG! My stuff doesn't work anymore! Thank god I get to mod my ENTIRE FREAKING GAME AGAIN, DUE TO A STUPID UPDATE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH TO BEGIN WITH. THANK YOU MOJANG. ANOTHER HOUR OF MESSING AROUND IN FILES JUST TO MAKE YOUR GAME WORK. You guys rock! (Insert SARC)
5) Multiplayer Support
Dude, Okay I'm beating a dead horse here, But like, Cmon. SSP is great, but everyone plays this for SMP. Where is the BROWSER for this kind of stuff? Even if you nix all the prior recommendations and just have this sort of thing, with mods downloadable and just, BAM, you are in the game, WTF!? Is it that hard? Example:
Dorky McDork's Awesome SMP Non-Violent Server 10/10 ---- 4/10 Reviews
Stupid McDouche's SMP PvP Raid/Grief Server 17/204 --- 27/37 Reviews
I mean, cmon, is it really that hard? You join, download, play, get on with your life. Even if you kept like a top 100 list, or SOMETHING. Christ.
YOU ALL MAY THINK I AM COMPLAINING AND NOT ENJOYING. True, true. But at the same time, These guys have made like, what, 500 Million dollars off of us/you/me? WTF are you doing? I'm not asking for a communistic type franchise here, just a playable game where I din't have to pull my eyeballs out every update, while waiting for updates, or while even trying to just play with friends.
Sorry I'm not into coding 1,248,250,508 lines of code just to get a stable version of this thing to host 3 friends.
IT CANT BE THAT HARD!
***note, I have no coding experience, no I dont have any type of experience other than being a consumer, but what I do have experience with is being a consumer, which is A) Taking my money, profiting, and then
