There are things I'll miss, but I am enjoying the update so far. The shafts are extremely fun, and villages are awesome. The only thing is, the terrain seems extremely bland and boring. Dungeons seem rarer than they did, and Enderman is unnerving...FUN. :laugh.gif:
Things are pretty cool for me over here
Been quit playing minecraft around 1 months since i got bored of clay soldiers and other mods
But now 1.8 keep me fapping for hours
I have had no problems with endermen (despite encountering 4 of them so far) What do you do, stumble around in the dark?
Fog is now in the options menu
I have had no problems other than memory ones

After 10:30 PST, my IQ drops to around that of a shovel, please disregard anything I say after aforementioned time, it will likely not make any sense, and is best ignored.
6.You mean the game is like laggy? yeah this windows 7 Toshiba laptop has been lagging ever since minecraft alpha.1.8 seems to lag more.I dunno why I've got everything upgraded graphic cards all that drivers.

If my post helped you in anyway, or made you smile or share a quote of some sort, please click that cool ^ button.
Downloaded the pre release earlier, and I've been playing it ever since. My one opinion on it is that it just ruins minecraft.
No, I'm not one of those ordinary complainers who ONLY don't like the update because they added humans to the game. That's one of the things I don't like about it, but I can live with it, I'm not complaining.
You know what? I'll just make a list. Call me a troll, I don't care, it's just my opinion.
First off, the biome class files changed, so we lost ALL OF OUR SEEDS. Goodbye, roughsauce and glacier, not even to mention gargamel. The main thing I don't like about this, is that It doesn't bother me much that we lost all our seeds, but the new seeds/biome generation ISN'T EVEN GOOD, so we can't find good replacements for all of our old seeds.
Secondly, (this is also about the new biome code) notch has completely OBLITERATED the cheerful and healthy green grass biome, and the ugly ass swamps are WAAY too common, and now all the textures for minecraft are utterly depressing (and no, I'm not just going to put on a texture pack, the default was the best)
Thirldly, the hold to charge bow screws up the firing rate of arrows, you cant send them flying fast enough to stop a creeper before it explodes, or something along the lines of that.
Fourthly, Hunger bar goes down too fast.
Fifthly, the enderman (which is an uncreative play on words with slenderman, by the way) makes caves unexplorable as they kill you in one hit, and you usually cant see them because of the dark, so you end up looking directly at him and making you unable to continue the cave.
Sixthly, its hard as hell to change fog level now, and this is really bad for slow computers who need to reload chunks fast.
Seventhly, Ugh, you know what? I give up. Listing things is hard really, I'm not good at it.
But look, the whole point of me posting this is that it just makes minecraft, well, it's not even like minecraft anymore, playing it just doesn't feel right. It's, well, It's like I don't even want to play it anymore. I just hope with the final version on monday that notch will release some method of downgrading.
All in all, I would suggest waiting for a mod that changes some of the 1.8 updates to be more minecraft-ish. The only reason I would get it now would be if you REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to host an SMP server, at least multiplayer join is improved.
First - the seed system still in go find some new ones that are good. And i found some realy nice areas aswell around the mountain biomes, i didnt spend to much time looking for them though since for some reason i cant destroy block in muiltiplayer and it seem were missing the ravene biome so didnt wanna start a server since if i want ravine i would need 2 wait for them to fix it.
second - Agree with this one there no rainforest areas witht he green grass and there like 3 times the amount of swamps.
Third - be more creative shoot ones sprint a little away shoot again and repeat, you can also switch to sword and charge knock him away and then shoot him with bow again.
fourth - Im bugged and hunger bar stays at full for this one.
Fifth - well with a diamond sword i kill the ones i found in two hit they never hit me back, you can also walk up next to them and drop a bucket of water next to them and they die without you even needing to look at them.
Six - I have decent PC so i dont even use fog so cant comment here
Also my world dont seem to wanna have any villages in for what ever reason.
I think that the previous posters have basically covered my opinions, apart from fog toggle. The reason why Notch did that was so that people couldn't cheat (i.e., press f repeatedly and see whether it's day or night whilst undergrond).
Anyway, I love 1.8., and I know that all the haters will too as soon as they get over the fact that MineCraft has changed. No one likes change, but as soon as people get used to it they won't be able to go back. Remember, we (the community) spoiled it for Notch by showing everyone a half-finished product. Let him finish it, and stop critisizing!
Hey... not to be elitest or anything but... i was unknowingly playing on hard for like 4 hours i didnt die once and i killed like 20 endermen... so you probably shouldn't complain about them...... because im not great at combat in minecraft...

minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=315185 I support the wheel! kickstarter.com/projects/edgeofspace/edge-of-space/posts/238617?ref=activity This amazing game needs help!
im sorry but I am not challenged by the update as you are.
1 You do release good seeds will be found in time right?. Also The new world generation i think is a lot better.
2 two words : texture pack
3 bows can do the damage of diamond swords when charged up. oh yes wayyyy worse :I plus the game needs more challenge
4 the game needed more challenge anyway. plus I often find the hunger bar to go down quit slowly.
5 minecraft needs more challenge. plus wear more armor bro. In fact all you have to do is carry a pumpkin with you. honestly i think ender men need a difficulty boost.
6get a better comp, or change it on the menu.
7 Don't forget that this is PRE RELEASE. and that we really dont know what 1.8 is going to be like til we get it. so just stop complaining we get what we get.

Your a such a great friend that if we were both in a falling plane and there was only one parachute... I would feel really bad and think of you often.
The thing that I loved about minecraft was that the gameplay was so basic yet it was indepth as well..it felt a lot like real life u gotta work to get materials u gotta do all that exploring was interesting but it wasnt needed but in 1.8 so many things just look like ****.
swamps suck ****
abandoned mines suck ****
strongholds suck ****
the new lighting sucks ****
hunger bar sucks ****
terrain gen sucks ****
I wish minecraft was continued as a building game like lego would be so much more fun... not this adventure **** adventure are only for those with small imaginations
play on creative or classic . DERP! . you just sound like another hater. How in the world does this draw away from creativity? all you have to do is chose whether you want to explore or create. Features were added to the game not taken away. btw

It seems like everyone flames Notch for slow updates, and beg for more content, but at the same time they want the game to retain all the old feels. I don't think it's possible to do both, he's just listening to popular demand.
First: Sadly, minecraft's becoming a bit more like realcraft.
Secondly, Meh. I mean, I definately agree with you about the swamp biomes. I think notch overdid them a bit because they're new or some **** like that... i think you get my point. >.>
Thirldly, I disagree. As a matter of fact, I find that during the recoil time that happens after you hit a mob, the arrows just bounce without hitting the mobs.
Fourthly, Bro, notch made the most common passive mobs all drop stackable food. I can go on a slaughter and get enough food to last me a few days. I have no clue what you're talking about; searching for pigs is a thing of the past.
Fifthly, Endermen are so damn glitchy as it is, who knows what notch has in store for them.
Sixthly, Heh, I used to use a computer so fragmented that it took me like five minutes to search to far. sometimes, it would even crash!
Seventhly, Damnit, you prove good points. I want MOAR!
What a lot of people don't realize is this is PRE TESTING! No **** you're gonna have issues, that's the point. You can't just be like I hate this **** I'm gonna quit minecraft... Chill, this is why notch let us test it first.

RIP Sebbas, if only you knew what they did to your server...
Ok i'm not gonna call you a troll or anything but guess what!?
When minecraft updates there will be two buttons:
Update now Not now
Click the Not now one, and BOOM! you don't have to update.

My theory is that dinosaurs are thin one one end, get much, much bigger in the middle, and are thin again on the other end. This is my theory, and it is mine.
