There will be no new batches. Also fix up your grammar.

[Electrk]

grammar =/= spelling
ffs

I feel like Minecraft being a "wiki game" really dampens the spirit of adventure and curiosity

I want to see someone who has never heard of a desert temple find one, not know about the treasure pit, and then fall into it while trying to collect the wool and blowing up

Go to hell. There shouldn't be a problem as long as you can read what he's saying.

I believe he made his post based on GameChap's video. He jumps to conclusions too much. It's doubtful the process was 2500 bots each. You always get problems like that, but their example was awful. Since the dawn of the internet, people have tried to resell tickets through it.

Someone noted each ticket is plastered with tons of person-specific information to prevent fraud, so basically you could buy an actual ticket, but it won't do stuff for you. The original buyer gets the cape and your money, and you get to waste more money flying to a convention you can't actually enter.

That's why I liked the game in the first place. It was a game of wonder and amusement. Now that everything is known about new updates nearly instantly kills the boner I had for this game. I find myself only playing this game in sad, 30 minute increments at a time with little attentiveness and ambition that I once had.

I know, it's a video game, not an engagement.

i agree in all of the ways
doing lots of things in minecraft is nearly impossible without looking it up.

which is exactly why you should play FTB unleashed because it has hundreds of times more and better content than vanilla, and preserves that sense of wonderment for far, far longer. albeit, once it wears off, you feel like an encyclopedia, but still.

It's why I mostly play mod packs now

All sorts of new stuff that I can choose not to look up, armed only with NEI so I can find recipes

[Flamecannon]

Are there any mods similar that to something like Battlegear or something? Because of my bad internet I just want to run around in singleplayer with at least a more interesting battle mechanic

[Bisjac]

why does minecraft have such a stuffty mod system?
the game has a minor update like every month, and it breaks all mods.
by the time all modders update their stuff its days away from another minor game update to break it all yet again.
not to mention i have to redownloaded and loving add the mods manually every single time.
there are mod managers that should be able to do all this for us, but they dont do anything but test compatibility...

it makes playing a long term game very frustrating.

[Flamecannon]

i am glad however that you can use older versions but i really wish mods were compatible to updates like blocktalklandsand and gerald's modificationary design, i really don't know why they aren't because i don't have that kind-o-knowledge

It's bad, but they are working on a modding api. It's clear that the new launcher is opening windows, and in some of the past updates there were features that would help get towards it.

When was the Modding API announced? 2 years ago?

Minecraft is a horrible game if you look at it from a different perspective, even if you aren't nitpicking.
