Notch can't finish a single damn thing he starts. The Dragon, while awesome, is the first thing he promised that he has come through on in the last ten months. I am glad to see it, but where are the proper NPC's, Dwarves, proper villages, economy system, currency, etc...
I've said it for months, I can't wait for November's "release" to come out so I can laugh in all your faces because as a Beta, this game is alright, as a full release, it's ****.
Bull ****. Speak for yourself. He finished Enchantments, XP, sprinting, hunger, the Ender, the Nether, etc. I don't want any economy system or that bullcrap. Diamonds are good enough. I've seen your posts. They're completely bias, pessimistic, and they don't contain more then an ounce of truth. You don't even come back to back up your arguments, which I would have expected from someone with more then 1000 posts. You just come into one thread, complain like a baby, leave, and go onto the next one.
Wait what? First you state that he won't do them and then say that you don't care for when it's released. Might as well state that you're complaining for the sake of doing it. There a lot of things you aren't considering like the possible bugs or problems that can happen when they attempt to do these things. Just basing everything off of his tweets or posts on social sites aren't very reliable; they choose when to show upcoming content publicly. But to ignore that possibility kind of brings us back to the fact that you're doing this for the sake of doing it. At least be productive with your time, like making a mod.
Let me know when your prophecies actually hold any merit.
I don't care WHEN they're finished. I care IF they're finished for the most part.
I don't care if he takes a long time, as long as he tells us, it's going to take a long time. (Or AT LEAST doesn't give himself a deadline he doesn't follow)

"but where are the proper NPC's, Dwarves, proper villages, economy system, currency, etc." He never said that. I just want NPC's smart enough to run when attacked.
"Notch can't finish a single damn thing he starts." http://mojang.com/notch/ So many half-projects.
On topic:
Bosses need hundreds of hearts, and Notch doesn't have the time right now to program in hearts of such magnitude.
"I don't know man. Cows have some pretty weak AI." Cows run when you hit them. Cows follow you when you're holding wheat :biggrin.gif:
"Bosses need hundreds of hearts, and Notch doesn't have the time right now to program in hearts of such magnitude." My point. He will either not do it at all, or fail to finish something at a deadline once again. I will repeat myself! I don't care if it takes a long time! (It could take right up until 2012 for all I care) As long as he follows his own deadlines!
I still don't see everyone's issue in this, though. People rage over Minecraft more than any other game, and plenty are far more deserving. It gets to the point to where all that can be done is just pity those that act this way. It's not cute. It's not funny. It's childish and sad.
It's like /b/ is bleeding into the Minecraft Forums more and more every day. What was once a community trolling has turned into a bunch of people moaning and crying over little things.
I got my money's worth out of it. Hell, I'd honestly have paid more for this. It's worth it. Yes, Notch hasn't made perfection. Sure, there are things that could be improved. But first, show me what you've made. Then we can compare your creation to his.
The reason is because Minecraft has so much potential. AND Notch is so in contact with the community, and we have expectations. Both you, and I don't expect to make the next generation of gaming. But we expect, he can finish one thing before going to the next.
I finish one thing before going to the next.
Another thing. When you expect something to happen, and it doesn't, it pisses people right the hell off. That's what this thread is about. Sure it happens every-so often to everyone, but he does this every update.
Notch, like Arthur, is too busy making tons of half-assed content instead of fixing up the game, probably. I hate it when they do that. Nether isn't finished, as well. They're already adding an Ender Realm while a lot of other things still remain unfinished. Reminds me of a castle a friend of mine built. He has a museum. Half finished. A train station. Half finished, etc.
Mojang should just complete one feature before moving on to the next one.
8 days isn't a whole lof time to add in new content. Granted we don't know all the stuff that may or may not be finished. The way I set my expectations for the release of this game in November is the bare foundation that is Minecraft. I don't actually expect the game to be truly "finished" for another 6 months or so post release.
If the game is playable by November 18th with a minimum amount of bugs and enough content to explore and features to entertain me, then I'll be satisfied.
Ever thought that when he makes things, the stuff that is already in the game contradicts with it and has to re-done?
And besides you speak as if they are 10 man strong on coding and have to work every single day with out rest.
There are 2 people working on this. TWO.
That's why I don't like Carl. He fails to hire more programmers even though he has the money to.
That guy shouldn't have raged that much, and he was blindly cursing, however the main jist of his point, really lowered my respect towards the programmers.
Edit: Ok, I read some more. Just the very beginning part. He becomes retarded at the end, lol. It's the fact they steal content from modders directly.
ya, notch never does anything. notch didnt add the baby animals everyone wanted, notch didnt nerf enderman which everyone complained about, notch never does anything.

oh, wait...
Notch DID do stuff, he DIDN'T do others. It seems as though the further he plans things, the bigger chance it won't show up.
And I never said he does nothing. He does HALF things.
Not all the time.
NPC's were discussed before any NPC mod was made.
Pistons were added in because the community wanted them in.
My point is, Notch takes the idea's of the community and puts them into vanilla minecraft.
Also it costs A LOT to keep this game alive, remember they have lives and have to pay tax not only for their lives, but to keep Mojang a working business. (Check, Government tax etc.)
I agree though, most of the content is original, but there are parts he basically copy pasta'd.
The sad thing is, no one's said anything worth reading. It's the same arguments over and over again. Oddly enough, it sounds like a child just regurgitating what they see.
There suppposed to stop coming up with new stuff code in 8 days. Then they will spend a month knocking out bugs for the final release. Its unprofessional to have a final release with bugs.
You're delusional if you think that Notch worked silently in the background making tons of secret content to release. The guy barely works hard enough to give us what he openly talks about there is no way in hell there is secret content.
The OP is correct. We'll be lucky to get half of the promised stuff in the final release because Notch keeps making stuff and then leaving it half done so he can make some new thing that he will also leave have done creating a never ending cycle of failure.
I disagree. Remember the Seecret Friday Updates? SEECRET.
I'm assuming cool stuff will come out eventually. Until then I'll have fun with the brilliant game so far. You can't be on the minecraft forums and not like the game minecraft. :smile.gif:
I love Minecraft. And I like the way it's headed, but these constant lies are making it seem like politics
Ever taken a free enterprise class? On paper, you'd be right. In practice, you're absolutely wrong. Even if the "consumer" boycotts a product, you just give them free publicity. If you paid for a game, then demanded it to change, why would they change it? You already paid for it.

Read, then give your opinion.

That is what post-18 Oct. is for.

They stopped those a while ago. :sad.gif:
