I for one like the changes and new things in the game, and am eager to see what they end up doing with some it (adding more material and stuff to the Nether, perhaps new ores/gems/block-types to the normal world, &c.). Plus, with mod-ability being improved, that really reduces any worries I have about Minecraft staying fun.
I do, however, think that the game is extraordinarily easy, at least in terms of survival. I found a very hard seed in Hardcore mode, and just by playing normally, I practically can't die. I've even started taking insane risks, and I just can't die. Note that I'm NOT a good Minecraft player: I've never made a mob farmer, I don't know how many blocks a torch will cover to prevent monster spawns, and all the other details I note in YouTube videos and whatnot. I know very little about the game. I've never even made a potion, or a single piston. I'm also not particularly good at FPS games, so it's not that I have superb reflexes or anything. I just think that the game is quite easy to survive. I wouldn't mind an increase in difficulty for Hardcore mode. I've tried Hardcore mode about 5 times now, and the only one time I died was when I quasi-deliberately suicided by digging straight down when I already knew there was lava below me in the vicinity from earlier explorations (I was going to delete my game anyway to try out the 50w snapshot).
Ah, but it's not entirely based around merely surviving. You're still supposed to be creative, to an extent.
Well it is Survival mode, so...you are meant to survive. Creative is to only build, and Adventure mode is...I would think to play maps that others make in creative, like story maps and challenges.
We just need more difficulty settings.

Someone's really mad, eh bro? But in all seriousness, yes, mobs are pathetic so far. I can kill "big bad" Endermen with ease with one simple flaw, attacking their feet. No teleporting, no issue. Creepers? Just makes a mess. Zombies? Bah. Skeletons, served with a helping of weak sauce. This should be a little tougher, like maybe a few more attacks or strategies from mobs?

Have you tried the nether recently? i got 4 shot WITH iron armour V_V by zombie pigmen
Possible options:
1) You were pushed by pigmen and fell down.
2) You were playing beta.
3) You were using mod.
4) You had only two hearts before fighting this pigmen.
5) You had only one piece of iron armor (e.g. helmet).
My one and only concern when I'm hunting pigmens on hard is trying not to fall down into some hole - armor doesn't help because I have no enchants. They deal half a heart of damage.
What is with your selective hearing? Stop whining and make the game more difficult for YOURSELF.
Accept the fact that you're a minority and solve your own god damn problem.
I cannot believe your attitude.
Oh so do you have a social science degree, did you collect evidence and conduct research? If not then you have no reason to hammer on someone's opinion, an opinion which is backed up by evidence. I cannot install or use mobs, there are many people who can't, so this is an important issue.
I can agree to this but not completely, as i play most of the time in easy, i played hardcore for 1 time, no mob ever killed me, i only died when (using SPC) i spawned a slime in the top of a pillar, which made me fall and die
But when i started playing in Beta 1.7.3 it was more dificult, the EASY dificult back then is the NORMAL difficult today
I think zombies should breake blocks, creepers blow door so other mobs can go in, skeles MUST use sniper tatics and Endermans should be stronger, and Herobrine added, but not just that jerk that only wander around without anything to do, he must breake blocks, build to get to you, AND **** YOU UP, i think its easier now and this should be changed
LoL, maybe Herobrine could just spawn and lead monsters... *Covers buttox with protective covering* :ohmy.gif: :tongue.gif: :blink.gif:
I say that armor is a little to strong, but before you spent 26 Iron on a full suit of armor and boom you ran into a few mob and it was all gone. So I never made armor and just re-spawned.
I wish Notch or Jeb added a type of MCNostaglis (spelled wrong probably) into the game so we could go back to Alpha, or even choose which features we want, like 1.0.0 mobs and blocks, but water elevators and skeletons without bows, that would be the best.

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.
easy- minecraft as it is now. you are superior to all enemies naked
normal- without armor, fighting poses a good risk, zombies still wotn pose a big problem, but skellies start to hurt. creepers kill in either 1 or 2 explosions. diamond armor is where iron armor is now you are equal to most enemies naked
hard- fighting without armor or weapons is suicide, zombies can still be done, but it takes awhile, skellies will drop you most of the time and creeper kill in one explosions. leather armor is slightly better then nothing, allowing you to atleast survive enouncters long enough to deal with one or two enemies or fleeing. iron armor gives you the protection you need to survive a creeper, or a skelyl ambush, but wears out faster then it does now, diamond armor puts you on Equal ground witht he enemies, in effect you are the equivelent of no armor on easy mode you are inferior to al enemies naked, and only equalw ith diamond.
the reason why i say even with diamond armor you stand equal toe enimies (as you are now naked) is becuase of enchanting, in hardmode enchanting should become mandatory, if you ignore it then it only turns you into a god later, if you adjust with it in mind you can mitigate godhood.
I play Minecraft to explore, gather stuff and build nice things out of them.
Not to get destroyed by monsters every two seconds.
If the game is "too easy" for you, just take your armor off. There. Problem solved.
There are plenty, PLENTY of posts in this thread illustrating why "take your armor off" is a stupid argument. I've reposted a chunk of these comments already, but people still meander in without reading the thread and think that telling us to ignore integral game mechanics is some sort of clever solution.

Click on the egg to make it a Sexy strong Dragon thing. And for it to love you =D - Also thumbs up all my post because this is youtube K?
People, working around the issue (limiting yourself) or installing mods and 3rd party addons isn't the solution. Its a short term fix to a long term problem, and it shouldn't be our responsibility to "fix" the game if we have problems with it

When I first tried installing mods I kept putting things in the wrong folders. Just because you're used to it doesn't mean someone who doesn't know what their doing will get it immediately.
