that weather video just pushed me over the edge, need to buy this game now lol
I do!rdelaney said:Well, I'm pretty much done with the outside of my Statue of Liberty on Exano's server.
It could be better, but I am tired of gathering green wool and I'm not sure if anyone is even playing on the server anymore. If you click the picture you can look at the large version.
No one? O:Sofo said:

XD Such a horrible trailer. I'm no expert but if I was making a game that borrowed heavily from another, I'd have my trailers and marketing stuff focus on the things that makes it different, not focus on people saying it's like this other game but totally not.Treefingers said:
I have to say though, I do like the lighting and water and some of the textures/models.
And I can't wait for minecraft weather

Even then...
I downloaded it just for fun and god damned the game looks horrible. Try it. lol
Do tame wolves do things while youre a way? I have an indoor grassy area that spawns a lot of wildlife and my wolf is sitting in there by himself. I just went in after a few hours digging and found him moved and 22 pieces of wool scattered about but no sheep. Did my wolf just murder sheep?

Anyone else see the "Distance Flown" statistic in the 1.5 trailer?
Please add aircraft...

You must have another wolf around =) Sitting wolves only sit until you tell them not to AFAIK.

I think there should be a seperate stat for that. "Distance Plummeted" would work.

Yeah explosions were the only thing I could really think of. Hopefully it's something else thoughAtomski said:Ever been shot off a cliff by a creeper? You fly.. for a few seconds

Just tried it. The water looks good in the trailer but in game is pretty bad. I still think the lighting is alright but some textures glow/light up a bit too much and look bad. I think an HD minecraft with a clean and crisp look could look nice.Ranger X said:
I think the trial should have been better. I mean it's a time limited version of Minecraft's creative mode. It's kinda cool though seeing what is basically Minecraft on the 360, and from what I gathered you could find 'Relics' hidden around (going off the TNT block I couldn't use). I think it'd be cool if in Minecrafts dungeons there was a chance of getting some rare loot like unique equips or tools with special properties.
Zomba13 said:
At least the concept is there already. You can get a saddle and cocoa beans only from chest in dungeons. And most of the time you have some stuff only available through crafting like bread and buckets -- wich therefore become "rare loot" as it's the only place you can get them outside crafting it.
But yeah I wouldn't mind something more meaningful like a tool. You open a chest and you find "Legendary Pike". Imagine it a new color, you cannot craft it and it lasts longer and is faster than diamond.

Could be to do with Dragons. Notch has hinted that he may add them at some point. If so, it will be amusing if you have to tame them first, like the wolves. I have a feeling there will be a lot of deaths by incineration the day that update gets released lol.
Barberetti said:
Dragons could be devastatingly awesome. Imagine he makes them quite rare but when he attacks you, stuff would also catch fire. One attack could burn a forest, melt ice and snow, etc. You would also catch fire yourself of course. I really think this could be a fantastic update. The stat there might probably be related to dragons as you said. A guy that hints at dragon multiple times, loves Skyrim and release his game the same day = fishy!

I really hope that Mojang starts adding some more updates of actual substance. What I mean by this is things that actually add to the gameplay of Minecraft...Maybe give it a goal? Right now all these changes seem to be aesthetic or just little cool diversions. I'm sure it would be difficult to add substantial changes that don't get in the way of what the game is right now, but really, right now the only way to really have fun with the game is to make your own fun.
I don't know, kind of rambling here, certainly not hating. I'd just like to see some updates that will actually beef up the gameplay and give the game some depth. Cause right now crafting/building is pretty much all there is to it.

That's more aesthetics to me...Qwomo said:
I'm talking about expanding the concept of the dungeons (like above), I dunno. I wish their was more reason to go out and fight things. I would like it if the combat in the game were expanded a bit (maybe more/more effective weapons), I would like more and bigger enemies (think of fighting a big guy at the end of a dungeon), I would like rewards and items that actually help you accomplish things (i.e. not useless crap like cookies, coco, saddles etc)...This is very vague, but I think it's the dev's job to come up with this stuff.
Needless to say, this game has a huge amount of potential. I just hope Mojang starts pushing it at some point, because right now I'm just not seeing it.
More unique randomly generated dungeons would definitely be nice. Like the previously mentioned dragon lair. Things like Yeti settlements atop snow mountains. More outdoor dungeons/establishments. My friend suggested bicycles for faster ground transport and I thought it would fit pretty well in the Minecraft universe.
As long as anything that is added doesn't go against the Sandbox nature of the game I am all good. And there's an infinity of things you can add to a sandbox game anyways.
I don't mind the achievement because they don't dictate the gameplay too much but achievements in itself are in fact a pre-made goal and this isn't "Sandbox". Creating our achievements with an implemented behavior/system would have been the perfect update.
If you take the person mentionning there could be quests. The point would be to update the game with a quest system where we could "make" our quests. THAT would be sandbox.

No thanks dude. Maybe as an option, but I would also like the option to have the game give me an objective. Sitting down and trying to come up with something fun isn't really something I'm good at. That's a game dev's jobRanger X said:

Im totally new and just tried it out after constantly seeing this thread getting bumped, but how does the mob thing/ monster thing work, how long is it before its nightime and all that?
So far im loving the fact that you can explore this huge land and make whatever you want, but I think im missing out on a lot of stuff

As long as any objectives are optional and don't interfere with the sandbox nature of the game, I'm for it. Like I said earlier in the thread, useful loot in the dungeons that you can't obtain any other way would be good. Some hard "unique to dungeons" mobs that you have to fight in order to get to it would be even better.
The thing is though, the whole point of Minecraft is to make your own fun. So, the devs in this case may well feel that they have already done their job as far as the gameplay aspect of the game is concerned, in which case you may be out of luck if you're expecting specific objectives like quests or whatever to be added in the future.
I hope I'm wrong though. I'd play them if they were there
