As someone who hangs about in their IRC a lot and gets to see a great deal of dev chat about changes and plans, Tiy_ didn't cave to any whining or popular opinion about the leveling system or changes that were made to armor and weapon balance. He straight up said he hated it now that he got to see i...

the actual version of the launcher will download a clean copy of the game jar if the one you have was modified I'm not liking the sound of that at all. Hopefully they cut that little "feature", or someone finds a way around it. If their intent is to tie mod browsing/downloading into the l...

Considering the general artistic and design theme of the game, it makes more sense that they just sought out and used the more archaic terminology than having been inspired by the mod. I think my Grandfather's old chemistry reference uses Nitre as well.

He is a goon heavily involved in the MC community, so that is likely the reason.

Fun Fact: Totalbiscuit is a goon, too, along with Matt Higby the creative director of Planetside 2. Wasn't aware of that until recently.

Also, if you think folks are going to stop at 100 portals, I don't think you have a good sense of the scale at which people tend to play with mob-farms ;) If we are taking this in consideration, then nothing short of just cutting off Pigman spawn in the overworld completely will ever solve the prob...

So again: why now? I guess they are banking on the MC-API not being complete enough at initial release to do everything it needs to do, and even if it is who the hell really knows how long it will take them to get it out finally. Mojang could get knee deep into it and have to delay it for another u...

I don't see where he told us to do something though. Cant place pictures, you guys do it if you want... Not really... maybe a little passive-aggressively. Sort of like if a ne'er-do-well walked up to you on the street and said "Give me your wallet... if you want to..." He very clearly mea...

Yeah, pretty cool seed.

As rare as I originally intended, eh? Hm... does that mean non-existant? xD

Ha, I didn't actually pick up on that until you said it.

Sadly I don't think that is what he meant, anyway. Oh well.

I know things and like to share them. Knowledge is power and all that sort of stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Clavin Insulted by being called an insufferable 'know-it-all' by the person I can't tell to get bent because they happen to call the shots? Very Fair. Leave the programming to the...

Frozen deserts are a real thing. Even normal deserts tend to frost over in winter. They get quite cold at night normally, and winter just makes it worse. The intense heat characteristic of many deserts owes more to a lack of cloud cover, due to impeding nearby mountain regions, than just being in a...

In EU the servers had severe problems at launch and around end of workday on the 15th, ow it's quite fine though. We (I play it with some friends) beat the game on normal difficulty yesterday and are now working our way through nightmare :p ...but you still want ice in deserts. Frozen deserts are a...

I would like it, as well

Mind you, this is from my memory of some pretty old info so I could be very mistaken. I recall the Bukkit team talking about the API clearly not being able to support the bigger mods in the first update, but that further updates to the API would make it feasible for the larger mods to exist with on...

Except for at least one base class, whichever one makes it incompatible with anything Forge. ;) The need for Forge will dimish after the API comes out and they update it to a state where the more complex mods move over to using it effectivly. If Forge has to continue to exist in some capacity to pr...

I actually get an FPS drop if I go from Fancy to Fast, which doesn't make any sense. Now *that* is interesting ... Remember that opening the F3 debug settings can drop your FPS down a bit, too, so you may be getting more FPS than you think if you are using that to judge. Yeah, I've heard that befor...

I actually get an FPS drop if I go from Fancy to Fast, which doesn't make any sense.

LOL. You're right, I guess I am implying the magic mod has to many magic blocks. Like you said, it's more of a grind through the tech-tree rather than any kind of puzzle solving. The most interesting game mechanics are the research, the enchanter, and managing the aura. However, the tools provided ...

I'm glad the bucket team is on board working on the real update, because this is what Jeb is wasting his time on: http://i.imgur.com/d1yU3.png Heavens forbid he take the 5 minute break from helping re-write the entire foundation of the game it took to code these things. Who knows what he could have...

Oh really? Goddammit. I don't even know about any of this because I unsubscribed from the Yogscast about 2 months ago. Definitely glad I did if this is the crap they pull when I leave. That was more what Coffee Stain Studios pulled, since the Yogs can't force them to add content to a game completel...

Just..play a seperate install?

I really don't understand.

My mistake.
