As far as I can see he said nothing about permadeath. Just that you lose your levels. Stop making misleading posts.

So is this permadeath thing kind of like, you die, and the world resets?
If so, I think that's pretty cool. That adds a good element of challenge (and highscore) to the game which will get rid of that annoying monotonous borefest that occurs in singleplayer once you've got full diamond everything.

I like the hunger idea, but Leveling?! Minecraft isnt that type of game.. I hope they'll add a "Toggle" for these things

i hope permadeath can be toggled

according to minecraft wiki, hunger will be a part of realistic mode and don't u lose the map when u die?

As for the toggle, no. I don't want the options menu to turn into this:

permadeath-you lose all items and leves, eh basically the same thing as a real death for me so how much this adds depends on the leveling system.

leveling-not enough known to formulate an opinion, hope its good!

hunger-finally a way to force people out of there 2x1 holes and breathe fresh air!

(all the other stuff he has shown on blogs and twitter)-It shall be amazing.

I like this one. Now I actually want to play survival instead of just building stuff with the SPC mod. Playing legit is quite boring right now, no real risks, nothing really life threatining. Hunger will make you adventure for pork, farm for bread or patiently wait for the float to bob down, instead of bunkering down in your hole in the ground and only go out for the occational dungeoneering. Leveling sounds cool, I just wonder about the benefits and how you get levels. Loosing your level upon death? Added challenge accepted.

First a few words to certain people:

enderoflife - You should check you shift button, it seems to be stuck.

X trox - Stop calling people names, it will in fact NOT make people listen to you, no matter what your mom says.

JonnyMiner - Insinuating that all poeple that have ADHD are fags just makes you look more stupid, don't do that to yourself.

Now my opinion on these ideas:

XP bar - If done well, could add a fun aspect to the game, could however be easily ruined if it turns out to be a grind fest.

Hunger bar - Not overly happy with this idea, but it will however bring a new scope to the survival part of the game. Food needs to be stackable then imo.

Permadeath - Hated the idea at first, but now... I'm getting kinda excited over it... Unless the XP thing is a grind :/
Maybe Notch shouldn't have called it permadeath since that insinuates that the save will be lost...

In Star Wars Galaxies the first Jedi had permadeath on their 3rd death. This was made more bitter by the fact that noone knew how to unlock the Jedi...

Notch said that he didn't want the leveling system to be like in WoW, or Runescape. He wants to make leveling FUN. Hes even still working on the leveling system, just to make it good for the Minecraft experience. About the hunger... It just had to come people, its a survival mode. And have you forgot that hes adding creative mode to? It will probably take or disable the hunger bar, and if not, then you can just spawn 64 chickens with spc, or some mod.

Notch never said permadeath. he only said lose XP and items when you die to give people an incentive to live

In that case, those who named it permadeath should get smacked with a trout.

And I'm gonna have to learn to stay back and not die all the time... :tongue.gif:

I really hope there is permanent death. I'm currently raping the **** out of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (****ing bloodsuckers...).

BRING IT ON NOTCH! I WANT A GODDAMN CHALLENGE!

Too many babies playing videogames nowadays.

OMG, permadeath, I can't wait! A reason to actually make food, use armors and be cautious to the surroundings. As for now, all of these are very pointless. Was wondering why they were even needed in the game at all.

Minecraft is finally going to be a real game and more fun :smile.gif:

I agrea that the update will be cool. It will ad a bit more of a goal to the Minecraft world. But, I did read an article recently. It said that one of the reasons minecraft is so sucsessfull, is tha there iss no real goal. If there was a clear goal, there would automaiclyy be a strait line and the easiest way to get there, making all the different ways people have done things useless. The joy of mine craft is to find your way there, and not nowing were "there" is is why It can be played so many times, and why the only goal is what you want.

Each and every part of this absolutely positively without any hope for a thought of a consideration of a remotely possible hint of a doubt needs to be toggleable!!! This is something that's only good for "hard core" mode and I absolutely do NOT want it on my main world!
