This looks cool, although it looks like the leveling system might need a update to smooth things out. By the way, anyone else think that the new, scary, mob will be sharks?
This is what I wrote a little earlier. Now that I think about it, the supposed permadeath *would* keep PvP servers from being run by a few elitist n00bz. The leveling doesn't actually sound so bad now.

Apparently the replied text didn't want to show up. Basically, after some thought, I'm kind of liking the leveling up idea.
Uhh... a few people around here need to chill. This is something he planned for an alternative mode a hell of a long time ago, before like 75% of you were even around I'll wager.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
He has also used his time to play with experiments like this before. This is how we ended up with infinite maps and the crafting system you see today. And back then, those proposals were met with bitching and naysayers too.
Originally, we had to throw ore into a fire and bars would pop out... :tongue.gif:
So yeah. Just take it easy, gents.
Nice to see somebody inject some reason into this God-forsaken whinefest.

The chances of digging straight down into lava increase drastically if you have diamond in your inventory.

(number of males who play minecraft) / (number of females who play minecraft) = ERROR: cannot divide by zero
i really like how one single voice of reason (thank you moderator) just completely quenched a flame war. That is the first time I have ever seen this happen on the internet, EVER.
Although I usually side with Notch, I'm with you on that one. Permadeath? This is a sandbox building game, not some Adventure RPG or something! Hunger would just make everything tedious. Here is my plan: Health (very) slowly regenerates, some items cure health but not hunger, hunger runs out very slowly, and more food items are available. No permadeath. Plus, now they will make NPC villages? Now it sounds like you will have more of a planned path than a freestyle way to play. Less choice. They should have stuck with a separate adventure mode, not an update. This could ruin the unique aspect that brought fame to minecraft: freedom.
"is an XP bar, but it also brings something extra – permadeath. In a forthcoming update to Minecraft, not only will you be able to gain levels. You’ll lose your levelling progress if you die." As you can see, perma-death means lose of leveling progress...that's all it means.
That is a direct quote from the PC gamer article. That is all.
End rage please.
Actually, more specifically the creative "mode" is actually the ability to fly and stuff "in" the adventure update, so it will still have all the features but you can fly, and such...
No notch... just no.
permadeath!? that makes me want to regret buying this game. Sure 1.8 looks cool and everything but you are taking this way to far. Tone it down a bit and maybe ill be ok with this
This is not a mmorpg. I agree with the person a few posts before this. i like this game because we get freedom to choose what we want to do and how we want to do it.
If perma death is non toggleable I will kill myself. :biggrin.gif:
Better do so before the update, or else you won't respawn and will have to start life all over in a completely different generated world as a baby again. Ahahahahhaha--*savagely brick'd till unconscious*
Jokes aside, I'm pretty sure this will be obviously toggle-able, Notch isn't a douche.
Does anyone remember the last post they posted, and how most of you thought that bar was going to be a ****ing armor bar or a stamina bar do you all remember cause I sure do. And guess what you were all wrong. So all you ****ing idiots who say you are going to stop playing minecraft over if I die my world is going to be lost, or how you hate the exp bar just shut up. Now if notch wants to make it you lose your world then so be it, it’s his game and I would love it no matter what he adds. So shut your pie holes and let notch make his game.
With much love you’re ****ing friend
People have their own opinions on what makes a game good, so don't bash them for being upset at potentially game changing new features. Mojang can do whatever they want with their game, but that doesn't mean everybody has to like it.
Let them whine, let them speculate, it's only natural for a person to be afraid of the dark.

Oh wait, realization. You don't die forever, you just lose your EXP and levels gained before death. Why the **** are the front page writers so misleading, don't they see this will obviusly cause problems to people who wouldn't read the REAL article? Holy **** it's just common sense! Look at the wrong impressions they give people!
