They're absolute noobs in that case, so they should play on peaceful/easy, not hard and be proud of it. I have no problem with easy being easy, just make hard something more than super easy which it is right now.
It's not just an opinion. It's a fact, proven by maths.
I don't care if they change the hard mode to be harder, but when people say that 'it is unacceptable' or a 'game-breaking bug' it makes me annoyed because they are basically saying "My opinion is the only one that matters", that this is more important than a mod API or ACTUAL bugs.
Go get a mod to nerf armor if you absolutely must, or make it harder by implementing rules that you will follow, like no armor and using only wooden swords.

ragnarock200: awesome, are those things with the creeper faces pistons or furnaces
Snowey1994: There dispensers
I know you all are tired of "TEH GAME R RUIN3D." This is not one of those threads.
This is a call out to the players of the game. This isn't funny I am serious.
Minecraft is broken, and has become BORING because of it.
How is it broken? Well first off, I just fought a skeleton, who did...HALF a heart of damage, IF he hit me. I left him shoot 5 times. He hit me twice. I didn't Move, I just stood, as he ran around me like a mad man.
This is horrible. The mobs are a negitive threat level to me. Even with leather armor. Honestly I just can walk around at night, and creeprs, zombies, and skeletons? Please, Armor makes you a god. And YES I am on hard difficulty.
This is a serious problem. The game has ZERO challenge. I used to have fear of meeting a mob, back in Alpha and Beta.
Alpha/Beta
Walking through a tunnel, suddenly I hear that old loud arrow sound. "****!" I've quickly find cover and try to carefully locate the source of the arrows, once I'd found him, I'd carefully try to get him out of the darkness to take him down. Because since skeletons used to do 2 hearts of damage, WITH ARMOR, I could walk away missing 4 hearts. If I just ran up, another mob could easily turn this into a game of "I'm ****ed".
Current Release (1.00)
Walking through a tunnel, I hear the weak phuf sound of an arrow, I see the skeleton, I kill him. I walk away with perhaps half a heart missing if he even hit me.
Horrible. The game, as it is now, is completely ruined. UNTIL we balance the mobs and armor.
Armor should NOT make you a god. It should, as it used to be, help you IF you make the right choices.
I need to know how to contact Jeb/Notch/Mojang
Because this is a serious issue that needs to be top priority. It depresses me how much no one seems to notice or care how broken and challenge-less the game is as of now. I mean, how much easier is normal compared to Hard Difficulty? Because playing on Hard feels like I am playing on Very Easy.
I agree completely with this statement :smile.gif:
Stop playing it then. If you think minecraft as it is is too easy, you should play something more on your difficulty level, although I personally think it is as difficult as it should be. Also, I know for a fact that in Alpha you didn't have a hunger bar, chasms, abandoned mineshafts, and nerfed peaceful mobs.
I've never played Alpha, but I like minecraft as it is. It's nice for a game like minecraft to be accessible, not to people who are terrible at games, but at least to people like me, who, after playing games for their entire childhoods, should at least be able to play it without too much difficulty.
If you try you can't die and that is the problem. Even hard is a joke and should not be taken seriously.
One time I was completely launched by a Creeper, like a least 5 blocks high, and I always see skeletons fighting each other while failing badly at killing each other
ok i didnt bother reading 4 pages of this so here goes. (and apologies in advance for anyone i might be copying from)There is a mod i forgot what its called but it upgrade EVERY mob in the game makes them charge at your base and you are still bulnerable on a mountain as they can use ladders and make their own PLUS there some mob that can smash like 20 blocks in one swing.Just so you also know i think another mob can also break one block at a time but it is very hard.Oh ya and before i forget Minecraft is so you make EVERYTHING so doesnt that also mean you can create challenges for yourself?Like go and play a survival map or something remember Minecraft is not only limited to yourself its imagination thats its true limit :smile.gif:.
Heck, you think Alpha/Beta is hard because you were new. It took 2 hits to kill a creeper, pretty much 2 hits to kill every monster in that version with a diamond sword.
Now since Notch added more hp to the monsters, 10-15 hp. Monsters now take 3 hits to kill with a diamond sword.
So, basically you know how to play Minecraft now.
Try hardcore :smile.gif:
EDIT: I realized I need to put in more information. As I can tell you 1.8 has become harder now. Hunger bar, more powerful creeper explosions, and better yet more hp on monsters have become more intense, but not that intense, however.
If you want a challenge, try hardcore. If you want more of a challenge, try a mod or something. It's not that hard honestly.
And how did I know creeper do more damage? They 1-hit kill you in 1.8 Prerelease, although I don't know if Notch removed that.

What I hate is how strong armor is. In my Let's Play, I'm on episode 11, and I think I just lost my first set of iron legs. I fell off my mid-air mob trap twice and died, and it still was fine. Creepers blowing me up, never hurt my armor. Also, mobs can barely hurt me, with iron armor (no enchantments)! Jeb is focusing on adding more stuff to the game, he needs to focus on getting bugs, issues, and stuff like this sorted out, get all updates situated, then he can begin work on the game once again.
Can't he just add the stuff then fix them later? Personally I like the new armor durability, since every day back then in Beta when I kill stuff they just break seriously easy in about a Minecraft week, like paper or cardboard.

It took three hits to kill a mob with iron sword. It takes three hits to kill a mob with iron sword now if there's a crit (easy to get).
Creeper dealt like five hearts of damage back then, even when you had armor. Now it deals like half a heart of damage if you have armor.
Hunger bar
It's relevant only when it's empty and you lose HP. It's really easy to get loads of food with new breeding system or villages that have many wheat farms.
more powerful creeper explosions
ROTFL.
I miss the times when creeper was capable of dealing more then three hearts of damage. Now you can get full iron armor during first day and hug creepers all night.
Creepers ohko you on hard if you don't have any armor.
They already did try to make it harder by nerfing the weapons. Although this was mostly to make room for enchantments, it is still a step.
And to all of those you just make useless posts here, he's actually making constructive criticism. What the hell is wrong with you? You can't even bring up a decent argument.
I remember when skeletons were by far the toughest enemy in the game, and when I actually had to make underground tunnels, bases, and bunkers to fight enemies, even on easy mode. But after 1.7.3, everything changed. I can parade around at night on hard mode with a stone sword and meet minimum resistance. :sad.gif:
Agree with you, armor is too effective. I played Disco_'s Cake Defence (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/714759-game-cake-defense/page__hl__cake defence)
Where loads of skeletons hit you ALL the time, but since I quickly got diamond armor I only lost half a heart now and then... I like your idea of more difficulty settings, hope it will come in an update!
AGREE. If you think about it, the mode IS called Survival. The food bar was a pretty neat update adding to the challenge of finding and hunting animals. I can agree with you fully about the part of crapping your pants when you hear the arrow. Now whenever I hear it, it's just like "..Meh".
Enough already. Stop with these useless posts. None of you bring anything to the conversation. Every single one of you is blatantly ignoring the topic of discussion here. Mojang's programming etiquette has led people into this mode of thinking that you should just accept problems, inconstancies, errors and mistakes without voicing an opinion, and people have eased into this niche of learned helplessness.
Some of us complain, in this case, because we see what we consider a significant problem in the state of the CURRENT, UNMODDED game, being played as it was meant to be played; ie, using every tool, armor, enchant, potion, and block available to us.
I don't care if they change the hard mode to be harder, but when people say that 'it is unacceptable' or a 'game-breaking bug' it makes me annoyed because they are basically saying "My opinion is the only one that matters", that this is more important than a mod API or ACTUAL bugs.

Why do you have to lie about the damage from mob attacks to prove your point? This is the second time you've done this.

wow i think this is THE first thread owner who has ever solved his own problem lol.
If you want it to be harder, don't wear armor. Use stone swords only. Don't eat enough food. Do things that make the game trickier.
good cuss
he keeps linking to his thread and making topics to advertise it
