I don't want to be a hater and I don't know anything about programming, but this update doesn't feel like a month's worth of work. I am enjoying it though, before you get me wrong, it just feels a little bit rushed.
Yes this is worse then the time I tried doing an entire midterm paper on a sunday night.
I dislike the whole "free, stfu" attitude. However, my interest to discuss things fairly is lost by comments like these:
This is what happens when you wait until two days before the update to start working
I'd love to discuss things in a normal manner, but any discussion in which blind statements such as these are made, is one that is doomed to fail in becoming anything but a flamefest.

Well it is the internet, dirty trolls and bridges.

i agree with this. if his twitter is any indication it did indeed seem rushed.
Because I was warned not to present your current intellectual state in a remotely realistic manner, I will refrain from doing so in this post. I'm kinda annoyed at how the mods got to call you chumps though.
If we were to make a real poll, then I'd say the update rocks. Biomes are great, fishing is cool, the increased spawn rate of enemies at lower levels is cool, the new items are great, and hell looks great. All in all, a great update seeing how it isn't even beta yet.
No lanterns
No damage in mp
A whole host of bugs
This is what happens when you wait until two days before the update to start working
I'll be waiting until a few more things are fixed before playing, but I really do like the biomes and hell
He never promised damage, silly one. And working two days before the update to start working??? I would love to see how you got this information, and since there is stuff out that contradicts this, you can't supply this information.

I read 10 pages, so I feel as though I should say this...
But really, I like the update. Sure, there's bugs, and we can't do much with the nether at the moment, but I was never really suprised. Most of the updates are like this. We got a fishing rod a few updates ago (Maybe it was last update.) that didn't work until recently.
Also, someone posted something about how you pay for the game now, I've always wondered if that means "You paid here, get full game free", or "You paid here for partial game, pay rest when full game is released".
Edit: Oh. I went back and found out he was suspended. Oh well. The picture still stands.

BLOCKS ONLY COUNT IF YOU CAN PLACE THEM. Ill give you pumkins, but YOU CAN NOT PICK UP AND PLACE PORTAL BLOCKS.
Air counts as a block, and unless I'm playing the game wrong, you cannot pick up and place those.
Thanks, Notch for the great game. Thank you for the updates. I gladly paid $15 and am more and more impressed as time goes by and the magic of this game does not diminish.
To the people who think this update sucks, what EXACTLY is wrong? I want you to list what you think makes this update suck so I can rebuttal your arguments.
As of right now I only know of a few, minor, problems.
-Upon death, your inventory disappears and doesn't drop.
--I also don't like this, but this is most likely not even a hours worth of coding to fix.
--Also, if you don't want to deal with disappearing inventory on death, play on peaceful.
-The grass on the sides of the dirt blocks don't match the exact tint of the surface grass. Leaf particles are also in gray scale.
--Again, I don't like how this looks but this doesn't even effect gameplay. Why complain? Again, I'd also have to think that this would also be able to be fixed in less than an hour.
Go ahead and post the next complaints about bugs. I'll be here for a little while before I leave so I want to see what else everyone complains about.
SteGriff: I guess we can't create a thread about the Halloween update in the MINECRAFT HALLOWEEN UPDATE forum. You do realize you insinuated that we are all chumps. Not very mature for a moderator... oh wait, your 17 my bad.
You're 24 (according to your profile), and you act like this? That's pretty embarrassing... try being constructive instead of just trolling like some 4chan kid.

I'm pretty sure that considering it has over 100 replies and nearly 1000 votes, it's as close to official as we have. And it's in favor of Notch.
LOL Internet polls. Most people have picked "10. Awesome". It's clearly not though. It has problems, some significant ones. A large number of people voting for an unconditional "awesome" means no more to me than if everyone had voted "Blech!". IMO. either extreme shows a lack of critical thinking about the update from most voters.
Even if you remove the votes on both extremes, way more people show their satisfaction with it than disapproval. Hell, the votes in the 6-10 range are individually higher than 1, and 1-5 collectively falls lower than most of the others. =P

Fixed. If you doubt the validity of this poll, you must be insane. =P

This was fixed earlier today. Update your client.
I just noticed that while playing. He also fixed armor so it seems that people are complaining just to complain.

You heard that, green and red.

ALPHA.
No, man. When he means "real poll" he means one of only SMP players. The only way to get a real poll is to ask only a certain group of people!

Haha. Was the dead horse joke intentional? But yeah, this thread should die soon.
I look forward to more.

make this the official "***** about the halloween update here" thread? I think it would cut down on the front-page-notch-sux topic spam.
