Jeb recently mentioned that 1.8 will most likely not be released on September 8th, to allow time for more thorough testing and quality assurance. Still, there seems to be a careful optimism regarding the release date - while it may not be on the 8th, it will still likely be in the near future.
On a more positive note, the PNG file containing the new food and "experience" effects was released, take a look!
Any more pointless and annoying comments that I should reply to?
I hope not.
My opinion on this is:
Sure, we're all a little peeved that it's getting "delayed" but think of the meaning of that word.
Jeb said it COULD be released somewhere around the 8th, and now he's a few days off and everyone starts raging.
I think the reason for the rage is that people misunderstood the "release date" jeb gave.
You waited 3 months and now you are raging that it's delayed by 3 days tops.
Anyways, I hope this comes out with a minimal amount of bugs ( can't say anything for blue spiders though <.< )
and hopefully by Saturday. Now I'm off to do something else instead of raging that a patch for a freaking video game got delayed by a day, oh, maybe I'll play the already fun as hell 1.7 Minecraft...
TADAAAA! It's Captain Obvious, he's here to save the day!
What do you think they are, the players need-to-take-a-**** meter? :sleep.gif:
Hey why dont you quit being such a tool! You think you are so much better than everyone? People dont come on this forum to be belittled by some nobody!
I can't stand the people who are all " OH IMA BETA TESTURRR GIVE ME UPDATE SO I CAN SEE BUUWGSSSS "
He's working out the bugs that he knows exist due to the coding changes he makes. Notch is perfectly capable of testing most of it himself. Even if he didn't notice any of the bugs, I HIGHLY
doubt any of the community who say " IM GOING TUW TEST DA BUGS 4 U NATCH RELEASE IT"
I can see those people 2 minutes later spamming the forums with "FUXX U NOTCH 1 PINT 8 IS SOOOO BUGGY"
Then let me ask you this: What does beta mean to you?
Throughout minecraft's current existence, we've been playing from Indev all the way to beta. In a technical sense, we're all testers of the game. How can you test if content is not given to you to perform said testing? If Notch will not give us an early release to scan and report bugs, what good are we as beta testers? If we purchase the game though we're not getting early content to check for bugs, then we're ordinary customers.
If that is how he treats us as a community, then there's really no need to have the game in beta and just consider it a full release, leaving all the bug testing to them and let us fiddle with it and report any minor bugs they couldn't see like ordinary customers do when new content is released.
And I wouldn't highly rely on the fact that the sudden delay means more bug fixes. If they're big, they'll get tweaked, but don't expect not to see a lot of bugs when its released.
And they totally deserve it. I cannot believe how immature these people are.
And the only one I see carrying on is you, bro. "OMG SHUT UP ALL U WHINY LITTLE SHITS UR NOTHING BUT SPOILED BRATS AND EVERYTHING I SAY IS RIGHT AND NO ONE BUT *ME* HAS A VALID OPINION NO MATTER HOW WELL THOUGHT OUT AND CALM YOUR POSTS ARE"
But that's only an estimate and may change. We do not know when during the day, the update will be out, but probably in the evening (central european summer time).
September 8 was only a GUESS. They never said it was for sure coming out this Thursday.
Now, it seems to me that a lot of people in here are dissapointed because they have to wait a little bit longer. More specifically, they have to suffer through one more week of... school. You will not die if you don't get 1.8 this week. You can, and WILL survive just ONE more week of school, and then you will get the 1.8 update.
Also: lol, release the updates early and don't look for bugs! that's our job as beta testers! lol!
next day: OMFG 1.8 IS SOOOOOOO BUGGGGY WHY U NO FIX BUGS????

We are getting content early. The game doesn't "officially come out" until November.
I hope not.

Thanks also for the trailer while we wait! I noticed what I believe are now gates. I love that you guys take community suggestions to heart.
Just set your render distance to tiny or small, that should fix it

This made zero sense. -2 brain cells.

The "beta" isn't ready yet. DEAL WITH IT
I agree with everything you just said.
We are getting content early. The game doesn't "officially come out" until November.
