It's just Notch doing dumb ARG crap with regards to the Endermen because he based them off of GBS' Slenderman meme. Running into the ground something that's already been pulped for months now.

Schweinhund posted:that sucks. I get like 10 fps for some stupid reason at no fog, so I leave it turned up high but lower it if I need to see far away. Plus whenever I toggle fog, the fps goes way up for a short while, so I use it a lot. I have a feeling he'll put it back due to people complaining about it. On the other hand, the game is supposed to be better optimized in 1.8, sooo To be honest, going "I need the fog key in because my computer is incapable of running it without me constantly reloading the graphics every five seconds!!!" is kind of stupid. It's not like he's removing a feature or something. Your computer just sucks.

CJacobs posted:That's kind of his point? He has an effective use of the feature because his computer sucks, and I'm not trying to preach that he should keep the button because this and this and white knighting blah blah or anything, but calling the guy's playstyle stupid because he does something you don't just makes you look like a jerk. Now instead of being able to do it on the fly he'll have to do it manually from the pause menu, which slows down his gameplay considerably if he decides to keep using the method after it's been obsoleted. Except... no one in reasonable circumstances needs to do it. Like if Notch keymapped to the letter "T" the ability to restart entire game; I'm sure this would be a Key Thing Useful To Some People due to some dumb circumstances, but it doesn't mean it's really that necessary or a "key gameplay feature" that, being moved to the control panel, would actually matter other than for people with fringe computer problems. Presumably he moved it off of F so he can use the key for something other people may actually find useful, perhaps some kind of gameplay feature. Even still, it was kind of an annoying placement for the key anyway!

It was there for debug purposes in the first place I presume, and if that issue has been resolved somehow, wouldn't that remove the necessity of the key?

The reason Notch isn't allowing dynamic lighting set to all torches I'm pretty sure is that it absolutely murders a lot of computers, and given that Minecraft isn't the best optimized thing in the world, that murder would probably be very effective.

YogBox 1.7.3 v1.1 now out!

Degrading items is really the only thing that ads any sustained value to a lot of the resources. The huge flaw with Terraria's model is that the moment you "move up" a tier, most of the resources of the previous tier become entirely pointless/ useless to collect. The constant need in Minecraft to "hoarde" certain key resources so you can continue your optimal level building/ mining is a lot of the reason why the game is arguably more sustainable/ enduring than Terraria in terms of continued gameplay. There is a much more definite ceiling in Terraria, whereas Minecraft's sort of perpetuating cycle allows people to keep on playing it even more. It adds the "challenge" to the Sandbox. Otherwise it might as well be creative. Same thing with losing items. The non-perpetual resources force different treatments towards tools and resources than Terraria. You actually have to mine in Minecraft, with a focus on continued/ sustained resource acquisition for both creative endeavors and more functional/ practical needs. Not to mention the whole "dropped resources" mechanic encourages you to enter back into situations that are largely dangerous and be actually "afraid" of certain mobs, which greatly affects the gameplay. If a creeper just sent you back to spawn and knocked a whole in the landscape, it really wouldn't be a big deal unless it caught you offguard. As it is, it's actually frantic to a degree because that Creeper can "ruin your day", as it were.

PalmTreeFun posted:Creepers are still scary as gently caress and explosions are still bad if they happen right next to your house. But "death chest" and a lack of timeline removes the risk inherent in traveling away from your bed/ spawn. Exploration loses all "risk" involved when there's no intrinsic danger involved. Risk and associated game-induced quasi-fear reactions associated with it are quite important to why this game is enjoyable. Honestly, if you don't want any risk, you might as well just be sticking with Creative, since it's essentially the same thing then. Even Peaceful has some associated risk based around idiocy/ accidents. By making you apprehensive about dangers, the game plays off your emotions. Removing all dangers by removing all "punishments" kind of kills that outright. Without it the game is very boring  You can't have an "adventure" without risk.

trandorian posted:Except I remember when beds were first introduced that it was going to ruin the game so much to not have to go back to original spawn according to a lot of people! You were supposed to have to trek a thousand blocks on foot with no items if you died, according to them , or minecraft wasn't fun. Strawmans are cool! wait, no, they aren't The point is intrinsic risk involved. The whole point of beds is allowing you to "set" where your home is. Your safe haven. If you leave your safe haven, you are no longer safe. You are forced to prepare for it, ready for it, mentally and physically in the game mechanics. The risk is all part of the whole bloody game. It's not a matter of ARE YOU HARDCORE ENOUGH, it's a a matter of basic risk-reward pysche stuff. You want good stuff, and you have to risk bad stuff to get good stuff. This is how "adventures" work. Walking into a shopping mall where your antics might result in you being sent outside the mall before coming back in to grab your MP3 player is different from, say, breaking into an abandoned run down shopping mall where you run the risk of physical harm / legal troubles. The adrenaline induced by the risk is why "adventuring" is fun at all. And when you gently caress up, yeah it's frustrating. Thankfully, this is just a video game though, and all it does is make you even more paranoid about the danger in the future. Which is kind of the entire point of "Minecraft": build a thing while holding off the risks at hand. Having a hand-burning moment that reminds you that there is an actual penalty to not being cautious keeps you always on your toes and aware of the risk. If the worst that can happen to you is that you have to walk ___ feet to grab your chest, or even just be sent back to your home, there's nothing to lose there. Worst case scenario you have to backtrack. Gasp. Without any sort of item decay or risk of losing items, the game is just creative with mobs in and a grind. e: it's the whole reason why the Nether has Ghasts, even. The reward is the fast travel/ rare resources, the risk is one of the most difficult to handle mobs in the game. Risk, reward. Danger from exploring from "home", associated rewards for managing to do so successfully. By approaching the situations intelligently you can mine yourself safely. That's basically Minecraft in a nutshell. Zorak fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Sep 6, 2011 |

I don't think Scrolls is going to like... flash in the pan die out, but I don't see it taking major market changing share or supplanting Magic. It's possible for there to be more than one fantasy card game. It's just that in the end game, I'm just pretty sure Magic will outlast it.

Broken Loose posted:Wait wait I'm confused, they removed healing items from the game?? And replaced them with cancer??? Food items fill your "energy" bar. Energy is used implicitly in healing you and explicitly in actions like sprinting. So no, you don't just slather a porkchop on ribcage anymore and magically heal anymore. They went for a somewhat more realistic survival mechanic.

Yeah, it doesn't make a big difference for people who generally don't get into big tussles too often, but it's a great change for people who enjoy the more dangerous side of adventuring. It makes Survival mode reasonably more survival-y.

Is there a reason why on my SMP server, no one can destroy any blocks in the Nether at all? It's very strange. It's not spawn protection I'm pretty sure, since it persisted after I opped everyone, as well as when we moved well out of range of spawn.

It's a sandbox game and I'd guess a lot of you probably have hundreds of hours invested perhaps you should stop being a bit too emotional about its development cycle and whether it metamorphoses into a Fullgamefly or whatever. There is a lot of really disproportionate reactions going on here.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I don't know, from over here it looks kind of crazy the way people take every criticism of the game as an assault on Notch's honor or their own. poo poo like "oh god Notch takes vacations" is pretty over the top, sure, but that hasn't really been the tone of discussion in this thread. People feeling the need to whiteknight Notch because they're emotionally invested in the game/ him is bad, yes. People feeling the need to act like Notch killed their puppy because he added a thing they're not keen on to the game that they like is also bad. Both involve misplaced emotional reactions based on emotional investment stemming from "I enjoy this game". They're both excessively emotional given the topic and this is me giving you all a note to take a pause in general and look at the situation proportionately and rationally across the board.
