Thank you so much for working so friggin hard on this game!
I doubt anyone could have done so much work in such a small amount of time. I have only played about a month, and I am SUPER excited to start playing the Halloween Update (just installed it this morning).
All I can say is KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!!11!!1eleven.
Ignore all the haters. They be trippin.
Please note I registered to the board JUST to support you, sir.
From the title, I expected to go into a hate thread expecting some 9 year old whining about the new update, so I was pleasantly surprised to see this thread. :smile.gif:

Haha, that's KIND of what I was aiming for. Get people to target it, then realize how awesome it is ;p
Dear Notch, thanks for leaving us with a bug riddled minecraft and then taking a nice long break before attempting to fix it. JK. But not really sort of. I know big updates have to have bugs but some of them are really annoying and aren't gonna be better for a few dAyS AND I NEED MY FIX.

So are you saying he doesn't deserve a break? His game went viral. He wasn't expecting that.
He had to hire lawyers, a staff, buy an office, all on top of HIS REAL LIFE. Yes, I'm sure he does more than CODE Minecraft all the time.
yeah great work, of course the Mona Lisa was never finished to the artist's content so every master piece is a work in progress. Keep up the great work and be ready cause I'm turning more people on to this game every single day.

No i'm saying i wish he withheld the update until the main stuff worked: grass (the sides), portals, armor, inventory loss on death bug, and now new maps don't even have caves and dungeons with lava etc. I love minecraft but some of this stuff makes me not want to play it. So i'm not. Until it's fixed. And everyone always acts like Notch is just coding on the side. It's his job. "OMG i worked 10 hours monday!" Good, you can work 10 hours tuesday, wednesday, thrusday, and friday too. That's what everyone else does... Hiring lawyers, a staff, and buying an office is also his job
Considering he was also working on setting up a company and getting an office and the like while he was coding this, He actually did Great, not just good.
Keep up the good work Notch.

Then everyone would have been whining that he didn't release the update like he promised to.

Notch WAS coding on the side until very recently, when he realized how much he could make a living off of it.
As far as I know, the inventory drop on death has been fixed already, I don't know what you mean by "new maps not having caves and dungeons..." cause I have plenty?
I think you're just trying to find anything you can to complain about.
Also, I don't think you realize just how intense coding can be? I just started a programming class for College, and let me tell you, it's NOT easy peasy. It's lots of tracing code, sometimes which has been written poorly due to sleep deprevation etc, and then figuring out exactly why your code didn't do what you wanted. Then you have to re-write that, THEN figure out what bugs you may have just caused.
It's not a magical "code once, it's good" method. Give him a friggin break. He more than deserves every moment of it.
is awesome, people need to realize that its not a finished game like WoW that is away being upgraded with exp-packs, the game is in alpha and i for one think its awesome that we get play it from its birth, instead of having to wait
Yup, and I forgot to add that to my Reply, I have plenty of Caves on my map too. It's not Notch's fault you were unlucky and had a map with no caves being generated.

Keep posting, SUPPORT NOTCH THROUGH THE HATE!

Something about blocks.
Haha, that's KIND of what I was aiming for. Get people to target it, then realize how awesome it is ;p
Truth. But a lot of people ARE saying how LAZY Notch is, which IS hating. Sure, you can dislike the update, and post your thoughts on it...
But don't hate on the guy working his ass off to develop a game he was not expecting to go so viral so fast.
Notch deserves this thread. Lets rally all the support in the forums!
Shameless bump again.
