I don't understand the surprise, or the whining. I think its a good lesson, actually, to those people that just can't understand what realistic expectations is.
Notch wanted to do too much and promised too much. I have the utmost respect for him, but this was not a good move. He should have known that within such a small amount of time, a good amount of his promises could come empty. I don't blame Notch for trying and delivering us new content at all, but he should consider not making promises he can't keep :smile.gif:
And to the community, how can you not see this coming? Look at the list, look at the time he had. If you ever expected everything, you have completely unrealistic expectations, and your disappointment is much more your fault than it is Notch's.
In short, Notch should try not to make unrealistic promises.
And the community should learn that Notch is HUMAN. Look at the Halloween list, look at the time he had to do it. Learn to see the obvious, and don't blame him when it feels like a smack in the face because -you- had unrealistic expectations.
Notch should hire some ****ing people to work with him.
Mod edit: If this was trolling, please don't do this. If you simply weren't aware that Notch hired some people to work with him just last month or so, well, now you know, I guess.
He finished the Hell world earlier then expected and biomes were done a few days ago. I'm pretty certain that Notch worked on the smaller stuff like bug fixes and fishing along the way. Honestly I don't see how you expect so little of him for this update.

I hope Minecraft gets some cooler stuff in the future like vehicles. Yeah I really don't have anything to put here.
The only thing I see which will not be in the update is lanterns. The only things I don't know is the pumpkins, watch, and the scarier depths. All else is confirmed.
Notch should hire some ****ing people to work with him.
Notch is working with like 5 or 6 people to make this awsome game later on hes probably going to hire more if the games get huge because he said hes getting a office so that should be good.

Guessing you don't read his blog then?
and what has he let us down with on tomorrows update? I'm happy with it! I'm sure the majority of people are happy with!
I don't think he did. He's been juggling finding and office for his new company with coding for minecraft and hiring people to work with him =0 So what he has completed in the timeframe from when he said he started to now is completely.. AWESOME :biggrin.gif:
I agree that notch was busy half of the time with the office contract (looking for proper place), but I don't think notch works seriously, I mean he could've finished the update in a week if he worked really hard;
Look at the biomes, they were done in couple of days when he started with the new formula (I know they're far from perfect, but he got the basics done). Same for hell, it was done in a week, then he just added the ghast and the gate systems.
I'm not complaining notch is so lazy and he has no will to work, am just dazzled by how notch works: is he enjoying his work to the fullest and producing properly? Or he feels he's obliged to do so?
Other than that, I'm already satisfied with the new dimension.
5 hours and 36 minutes later, the OP opens minecraft, sees that everything that was advertised is in the update, and cuts his little troll wrists cause now his forum is null. :biggrin.gif:
Honestly, I'm getting tired of people saying Notch is promising us all this crap. Please, PLEASE quote Notch, SFJake, so I know when he said "I promise all Minecraft players that on October 31st, torches will go out." Please find that for me. Because I can't find it anywhere. You know why? Cause Notch isn't promising anything because of trolls spewing flames at him when he gets delayed a day or two.
Whatever, I agree he shouldent have promised so much while juggeling (Looking for an office and hireing people) But Biomes and hell are still an awsome update

"He's trolling the game mechanic itself. And succeeding."
Some people think Notch is doing this like some big dev house that has mile stones marked out years in advance based on decades of project management theory. Notch looked at a calendar and said "I reckon I can do this by then".
And as it is the only thing we are missing from the promised list is the new torch/lantern system (which is hilarious because this change caused so much angst).
And he will do all the "missing" features in the next week or two anyway so I don't see the reason to get butthurt about it.
This isn't a big MMO patch where this is all we are getting for the next six months.

Then he has to share the money...
Multiplayer still doesnt work.
At all.
Not even damage implimented
He hired a couple people to manage his site/email
Time for him to hire some ****ing programmers.

It's gotten pretty bad when you start expecting people to not follow through on their promises.
Again I'll ask, how many times has Notch done this? How many times has he broken promises? Seems like a lot.

Excuse Notch while he works 15 hours a day. 1 hour total to eat per day. 8 hours to sleep per day. He doesn't get to have a life!!! No free time!
Yay I have internets now! If you've ever felt like I deserved one before I had it just make it up by clickin' it now! ;p
