So 4J have recently told us that TU9 won't go into Microsoft Cert Testing for at least another month. TU9 was originally supposed to only contain " The End ", but they've changed the plan, due to popular demand. My question is, "What do you guys think 4J is planning on bringing forward to TU9?" Also, what do you want to see? Based off of an old tweet from 4J, TU9 should bring foward all of the remaining features from the gap between the 1.9(TU7) and 1.2.3. Sadly though, I can't confirm any of that, 4J could potentially do anything. The most popular requests for TU9 so far have been Jungles, Iron Golems, Colored Wood, Upside down Slabs and Stairs, and Spawn Eggs. 4J may add all of this, if not more or less. Would you be willing to wait more than two months for ALL of the 1.2.3 features, or would you rather 4J just give us some of the features for a faster release.

Another thing, over the past TU's 4J has formed a tradition of releasing a Skin Pack within the same time interval as the Title Update. Seeing that TU9 won't be released until March at the earliest, does this mean Skin Pack 4 won't be released or showcased for another Month also...? It's not a big problem, just something I'm curious about.

I hope it doesn't mean that we have to wait that long for the next Skin Pack but since 4J won't answer any tweets asking for info on it, I'm afraid it might. As for the TU, I'm fine with waiting a bit longer. I'd be perfectly happy to wait even longer if it caught us up to the PC far enough that we get things like beacons, frames and such (Up to the "Pretty Scary" update). I know they won't but I'd love it if they did.

I just want a texture pack to be honest. I feel we have more then enough skin packs right now not as much as the pc version but they have their own maker so.

This discussion belongs in the Twitter thread stickied up top.

I don't want to start any rumors, but I don't think we'll get texture packs until MC360 is fully updated and equivalent to the Java version 1.2.3. I say this because, they would need to retexture every single block in the game first, and it woul be a bit tedious to continuously update the whole texture pack every other month because of a new block is being added. This is just my speculation.
