So I'm sure everyone isn't like this, but for me personally, when I start a world I like to keep it for a long, long time. I don't like to make world after world. I like to take one single world and make it my "home" if you will. Anyways, basically my question is how long do you think console Minecraft is away from getting the updated terrain generation? I ask because I'm not sure if I should start a permanent world now, or wait for that update. I'd hate to start it now and then not long after the updated terrain update comes out. Just wanted to get some opinions. Thanks.
Well I'm kind of in the same situation as you. I've been waiting for the new biomes to come for at least 4-5 months now so I can start a new survival world. I had like 3 months free this summer so I was hoping to get the new biomes to play some minecraft since I got so much time to do so... But yeah , didn't happened. Back to school in a week lol.
I don't know when they will be out , hopefully in the next few weeks/months , but the long wait sure worth it. I think we are better to wait for them to come out because the terrain as it is right now is not so nice. There's like always the same five or six boring biomes over and over again on every seeds. For us who spend a lot of time in a single world and like to keep it for a long time , I'm sure a couple more months of waiting won't be that bad for the whole lot of improvements the new terrain generation will bring.
Yea but what makes me so mad is the fact that 4j studios spends ALL of its time making stupid mash up packs (that shouldn't even cost a dime since they are just mods in essence which the pc gets for free). Then they give us that last update which was honestly a freaking slap in the face to me and MANY others agree. they have the nerve to make us wait for over 6 months making us think and leading us to believe that it was going to be a BIG update with New biomes, blocks, new fishing, new enchanting ,new trading, underwater guardians and there temples, Ect. ect. instead they give us survival players (the heart and soul of MC) some stained glass and colored fences and doors?!?!
I am still ticked off at there complete and lack of care for giving us the minecraft experience they promised us when they first were awarded this game to manage on console edition. They said they would catch us up to the pc in a years time....yet here we are and the PC is making BRAND NEW CONTENT FASTER THAN THEY CAN COPY IT FOR CONSOLE! you guys can be tolerant and understanding all you want, im not a impatient person by a long shot .. i just know whats right way to treat your paying customers and whats the wrong way. Considering i run a service department at a yacht yard for a living.
Mojang/microsoft needs to fire 4J studios ASAP. You guys mark my words many more months will go by with no significant update to show for all of your never ending patience. But you can bet your Butt that they will release multiple new skin packs and even a mash up pack in that same time frame.
Long story summed up....they don't give a rats butt about updating the game 1 bit, even though thats what was promised to us when we all Bought this oversold and under delivered rip off version of minecraft. 4J your greedy and shameless and i wont let you pull the rug over my eyes like all these other people so blindly do. HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS!!
The fact that they are so slow to release new updates does not bother me that much since I know they have to work on 5 different consoles at the same time. What bothers me the most is that 4J does not communicate a lot with the community , we barely get a couple screenshots a couple of weeks before some updates , and sometimes absolutely nothing.
That'd be great if they give us some info on what they are working and what they plan to do , is the update close or not so close to be finished , and also hints about some features they plan to add in that update. For now , when I go check 4J's twitter , I'm like : ''Huh , nothing , nothing , nothing , nothing , oh something not related in any way to minecraft , nothing , nothing , nothing , nothing , a srceenshot! , nothing , nothing , and the new update is out.''
At least , 4JSteve is pretty active on the forum , the bug tracker and twitter , but I think he is the only one from 4J who actually interacts with the players.
Having 5 consoles is no excuse. If they can't handle 5 consoles, then maybe they need to expand. What the reasons are, I am not sure but I hope this update is just going to bring us level with the pc version and that is why it is taking a little longer.
AsAs for world size, this is a hot button topic that should be addressed. Hopefully they add an expansion of the world whenever there is a major update that affects world generation.

Just start a new world now but limit yourself to exploring only a few maps. That way you can start now but leave unexplored areas for the new biome.
And yes, I agree this update is taking a very long time to put out.
