Since the pinned twitter post of all of 4J's tweets hasn't been updated I think I'll just say for the people who don't go on twitter. 4J studios has just said that enchanting and the xp bar will not be coming in 1.8.2. What are your thoughts on this?
That sucks. I built an XP farm and an enchanting library (minus the enchanting table of course).
Didn't the XP bar come in the 1.8.2 update on the PC? Why not at least be consistent? Sure it's "pointless", but it still kinda gives more of an incentive to kill mobs. They even said before they were considering just bringing both to the Xbox 360 Edition in the 1.8.2 update.
I'm sure a lot of people are going to be disappointed. Maybe they're doing this so all of our patience wears out and we just go and get the PC version if we haven't already.
I wasn't expecting it to be added. Sure, I would like it, but I could care less if it wasn't implemented. It's nice that 4J is giving us feature from 1.9 in the xbox.

dont really understand why that makes the slightest difference really, if we are bang on (which ironically despite your statement we now arent going to be) or not.

WTF are you trying to say because no one understands the crap you just spewed.
I'm now starting to consider this good news for me. I can concentrate on playing other xbox games I have and that are about to be released and pick back up on Minecraft next spring when It will be a fully functional better game. Because currently its frustratingly inadequate. And maybe by then I will upgrade my PC and drop Xbox edition all together.

To me it makes perfect sense. The 1.8.2 update is large and complex and delayed as it is. Enchanting didn't come into the PC untill 1.9 anyway that the XP bar goes along with that. So, they're obviously going to bring the two in together in a later update.

Agressive much ?
The fact that people such as Mattbball want it to be the same as the PC... it A: makes little difference it being a different game, and the irony that he is happy about it is because its actually now definitly not the same as the PC 1.8, given the xp isnt in at all, It wasnt hard to understand if you wanted to.
bugger. I'm not as disappointed as I could have been as last night I bought the PC version, and it does run at an acceptable framerate for me. It is very hard playing the Xbox game knowing that just around the corner the PC has so much more.
it made sense for them to remove the exp bar though now that enchanting's a no go; good thinking 4J. I wonder if we will get farming instead. That'd make a lot of sense given the lack of animal spawns.
The Xbox version certainly does seem a bit "bare" compared to the PC version, I can't yet get my head round all the extra stuff.
I like that the XBox version is not yet as cluttered as the PC version. As a new player to Minecraft in general, there's plenty there that allows me to keep it interesting without feeling overwhelmed by a gazillion different types of mobs all the time, too many different terrain "puzzles", and then enchanting on top of that. On the PC, people have more of an option to not upgrade everything. On XBox, we're forced into accepting every update nomatter what. I've actually enjoyed that this update has been delayed since it's given me an opportunity to learn the basics of the game more thoroughly before being "hit" with a bunch of new "stuff." Less can be more people... less can be more.

I'm curious as to why you'd be happy about it?
I guess I'm just too old-school. I want the Minecraft: Xbox 360 Editions to be identical to their computer counterparts.

Yep - From their twitter page.
@4JStudios why put xp in the 1.8.2 but your not adding enchanting4J StudiosYes, XP doesn't really make sense without the enchanting table (added in 1.9pre3), so we've remove XP and XP bar from 1.8.2
Makes sense. I find XP useless unless I have enchanting.
No enchanting means no silk touch
