Al! posted:Why can't someone just drive down to wherever they keep the servers and reset them? I assume they just keep them in the office like because of they just had some rented space at a server farm they could just call the people there to restart it. Their server guy is out of town (and the country). They have a dude who is near the offices but he doesn't know poo poo about the servers. I don't know if it's charming but yes they're still an indie outfit in terms of structure they just have millions to piss about with. Literally though, they should by now be putting a call to a networking dude to travel to their offices and fix it. I am surprised that it has lasted this long given that it's also hosed the Xbox servers and surely someone at Microsoft must have got on the phone and given them an earful that they're bismirching their XBL darling. edit: apparently these dudes are on the case @KrisJelbring @xlson Harmonica fucked around with this message at 12:53 on May 19, 2012 |

Enzer posted:gently caress all if I know, it is why I made that post a few pages back about how I am absolutely baffled that the CEO thinks that they need additional revenue to keep Minecraft development going, I mean gently caress this Monday they had their second best day of sales for 2012 at 15,000+ new users. Which means that's 15,000 people who can't play the game they've paid for.

You can play it offline, which is admittedly a downgrade, but it's not like a Ubisoft situation where you can't do anything whatsoever.

This is true, at least for new players. I've a little annoyed it's been basically a day I can't get to the RLLMUK server, especially as I'm away tonight.

Hahaha, holy poo poo this affects the 360 players too? They sold 1 million copies in the first five days, you'd think they could get a dedicated back up server janitor who knows what they are doing with the 20 Million the earned from that. Mojang.  Anywho, I'll stop harping on this, maybe next week's snapshot will make me ignore this b/s since they had an extra week's development time before pushing it out.

There's a floating island next to my mountaintop lair, so I built a bridge out to it, lured a sheep up there, and removed the bridge. Skysheep! He seems to be enjoying his tiny floating rock. I tried to get a better view by climbing the trees in the background here, but he wasn't visible from there, despite the surface of his rock being angled in that direction.

Seed "CoolWorld". It's no TestCraft but it is however much easier to get around in and has a village near spawn. The one on a ravine as I mentioned earlier. It also has one of those sandstone ruins near the village and nearby forest, swamp, plain and desert biomes with plentiful water. Seem to be plenty of resources and lots of interesting caves, not huge worm holes like TestCraft. (or was that Testcraft. Oh poo poo help). So the level of difficulty is lower and a whole lot of travel isn't required. Just thought I'd share it for people that want a simple survival experience without having to travel a long distance to find things.

A shrubbery! posted:Has there ever been any reason given for why Creepers don't die at sunrise like the other monsters? The bigger question is...how the heck did creepers get on your ROOF? I've never heard of creepers hanging out on top of houses before, and even if they're just lurking nearby, you could probably see them with windows.

One of my old bases had a creeper hanging out on the roof every night. I can only assume that my roof was a prime location if you're a green, mutated cactus-like being. That made me install a skylight, just so I could follow the little bastards progress.

I always just build a floating island, cover it with torches, and put my house up there. Then I can just stand on the edge watching Endermen rearrange the landscape all night.

I'm thinking about a floating island for when I install red power and using frames for an elevator. I hate how hard they are to access in vanilla.

Do endermen really move blocks that often? I've seen them pick up blocks but all the changes they make seem really minor and pointless.

They definitely still move blocks but only sand and dirt blocks as far as I've seen. They're still creepy as gently caress especially when you run into them in places you don't expect. Some people don't like the ghast noises but the enderman noises turn my stomach..

Probably good you've got him on his island. Internet Kraken posted:Do endermen really move blocks that often?

Endermen piss me off because they keep making the natural lines of the landscape (such as they are) turn into random dotty pixellation over time.

They usually stay far out in the distance for my current playthrough, never really manipulating anything of note. One thing I did notice though is when I get their attention they zip in close making that horrible chuffing noise and then keel over as if getting hit. Thing is, I never get a hit in edge wize. Just that horrible chuffing noise and then..dead. Bizarre.
