Just started to play Minecraft because I was bored and I have to say it isn't THAT bad.
Why do people hate Minecraft that much? It's actually fun
People don't hate it. They hate the fan base.
>>341734003
Minecraft had more potential coming from the developers hands, instead the modding community is what makes the replay-ability and fun of MC.
The fan base is autistic
just enjoy the game
>>341734003
It's shit you fucking autist.
It's good for little kids.
>>341734003
Non-modded Minecraft is absolute garbage.
Survival mode is fun, but after a certain point there isn't much more to do.
>>341734003
>why the loudest group of virgins with rage on the vidya world hate one of the most popular games in the world
Jesus Christ anon, I have no fucking idea
What's more complex, moded minecraft or DF?
>>341736096
>>341734003
Minecraft is meh. Minecraft on vive is pretty damn fun
>>341734003
Minecraft legos are a thing now. Kids love it so much that Mojang is shaping up to be the Nintendo of the iGeneration. People don't hate autismblocks, its just not the only video game in the world, please take your victim complex somewhere else.
Also Minecraft YouTubers and Song "Parodies" are cringeworthy.
>>341734003
Wasted potential.
I'm still playing it. A bit vanilla but right now I'm playing the Sky Factory 2 modpack.
The game had a shitload of potential, but it was butchered by Notch and Jeb adding halfassed content. Claiming stuff was impossible but then someone releasing a mod doing said stuff the same day because they wanted to prove it was possible. I still remember Notch's big rant that pistons were literally impossible, and then some guy made the piston mod in less than a day.
Potions were added halfassedly, adventure mod was, hunger was, shields were, battle update in 1.9 was.
Why add hunger and not add a somewhat sophisticated cooking mechanics? Hunger means nothing when everyone makes a giant cow farm and eats cooked steak. Everything else is literally a waste of time.
Shields are too big, cover 1/3 of your screen, oftentimes don't block arrows despite the arrows hitting you from the front while blocking.
Attack cooldown is great, but then again they buffed the strenght of mobs by increasing the health. Now you needs more time to kill them than ever before so you just walk backwards if there are more than one. If it's one, just jump attack like before, nothing changed.
Potions first when added was throwing stuff in a cauldron. Neat concept, but they badly implemented it. So instead of fixing it like any normal developer would, they scrap the idea and added brewing stands. Now cauldrons are useless in anything except high level redstone.
Enchantments are a great idea, again implemented badly. They made the mandatory, but it needed 50 freaking levels for one random tier 3 enchantment. Than they lowered it to 30 levels, which is again, a lot. Only recently did they fix it to 3 levels, but with a condition of being level 30 or more. All that while constantly breaking mob farms because they say they don't like exp farms.
Terrain generation was somewhat broken back in the day, but that's something that made it far more interesting. Eh, char limit. Enough.
>>341736929
fucking this, I got my OR and I've spent more time on minecraft rollercoaster than in any other VR game
>>341734003
Nobody hates the game, but the userbase fuckings ruin it, ever saw that video about the kid with the heads?
Ever found a nice server which was owned by power-tripping faggots who would either ban you, kill you for fun, destroy and erase your shit for fun or all those combined?
minecraft is still pretty comfy
I play with my friends on a private server once a year
>mfw I regularly play on a popular adult-only vanilla server and it's still fun
Minecraft can still be good, but you're more likely to find a 10 leaf clover than a half-decent server these days.
If you do find one though, fucking around in multiplayer can still be great.
I never used any mods beside texture packs. I also never built anything of note, I've just grown a big tree which I carved hollow, it was on a little cliff and in the garden there's a hidden passage that leads inside the hill it's on with some kind of underground church
>>341734003
Don't listen to /v/, this game is godlike for chill gaming with Netflix or whatever playing in the background.
It's really, really, really boring.
I haven't played Minecraft in a few months, and I felt the urge to play it again. When I logged in I was put into demo, then when I went online to see why it says my account doesn't have Minecraft even though I played it for years.
Only options are to buy it again or pirate, and $27 is a retarded amount.
>>341737725
have you tried getting some support?
It's the fanbase, and by extension the mod creators. You get some cool people, but the cancer is the prime definition to a T. You can go in /mcg/ and ask about the various fiascos with mod creators and get an atlas of whining and entitlement from mod creators, issues with forge/curse and the like.
And never mind the children, the push for education and those idiotic camps relating to the game. It was just a building game, virtual legos. It was never meant to be life-changing or deep. Just build shit and keep it moving.
>>341736843
>Procceed to attack Notch
>You are a billionaire, check
>You only made one game, check
>I'm superior to you, check
>Here is my PayPal give me mo-
Holy shit, hahaha, motherfucker asked Notch for money.
>>341737725
Mojang accounts are different from original minecraft accounts. Try looking around for a "merge accounts" option somewhere
>>341734003
everybody played lots of minecraft
like 5 or 6 years ago anon
>>341738227
Xe asked a known tranny basher for money, what was xe expecting?
>>341734003
Modpacks are awesome. Been playing Sky Factory 2.5 myself.
>>341737054
And looks like someone else also lovin that Sky Factory , sup?
>>341734003
Because the fans are autistic ragemonkeys.
Go on a public server and read the global chat. You'll catch on.
>>341734003
Because it could have been far better with some simple changes
The god damn biome update absolutely ruined the fun of random worlds so hard. I can still remember one my bases which was on an island in the sea that went 30 blocks up into the air and had a lake in the middle of it. Never going to see shit like that with the boring as crap biome system now.
>>341736096
Pretty much this.
Good combat and movement and alchemy and zelda-like enemies and items= GOTY
>you will never make your own action platformer dungeon crawler.
>>341741345
Wasn't the random terrain generation intentional? Why remove that?
>>341734003
People hate what it became over time.
>>341741345
Isn't there options for legacy world gen in the vanilla launcher now
>>341736096
so... same shit as bethesda games?
Minecraft is pretty fun the first few play sessions, but it gets boring really quick.
This will sound stupid, but all I've ever played in minecraft was survival mode, mostly on deathban servers. I enjoy making secret bases, raiding secret bases, making traps, etc, eventually dying either by being super stupid or by being outsmarted.
However I haven't played in awhile so I'm not up on what's changed, and it's tough to find a decent server without cheating.
I've never messed with mods - would anyone have any mods to suggest based on the way I've played? I've played on my own in the permadeath mode and that's fun but far too easy without danger from other faggots, and I eventually just end up with a neat base but it's boring.
>>341734003
It's hard for /v/ to separate game and fanbase.
>>341745002
I heard good things about Thaumcraft, but never delved into it myself.
If you're looking for a fun server to hang out on, but hate all the junk they added, we've got a small /v/ server running 1.7.3 beta that's pretty chill.
IP is 23.95.0.145
>>341745858
hey thanks, appreciate that. I will google it now.
>>341746219
bumping this, we need more autists
>>341745002
Exactly what's fun about minecraft. You could have a 3d metroidvania generator or at least home alone simulator but nah, creepers ssss xD.
Even pokemon minecraft would have been a better idea.
Now for the actual post, what can Minecraft do to gain its original userbase back? What can it add that mods haven't already done?
>>341748827
Quests, with towns that have more interactive NPCs and more elaborate dungeons.
Maybe a storyline of some sort.
It's a fun Lego game. I played it with friends back when it was first gaining popularity and moved on from it with no ill will. The end.
>>341748827
More enemies and progression more than stone, iron, diamond.
>>341748827
Interesting and appealing combat. Interesting appealing mobs and interaction with villagers.
Different types of humanoids. Rogue, bandits, scavengers, mercenaries, kings, knights, nobles... all with their own AI.
>you can upload structures to a big database bank.
>there's a mode where structures from said database will randomly spawn on your world.
>as an advanced system, you can add keywords ro those structures such as "castle, temple, city" and shit.
Not the original base but it would become fun to play.
You don't need to make dorf fortress craft, but something a bit more complex than 5 fucking mobs.
>>341734003
I've never played Minecraft before. Are there no objectivbes in the game? No quest, no outside goals set for you? Anything that steers you in a particular direction?
Because I wanted to give it a try someday, but if it's completely open and devoid of any structure I see myself getting bored pretty damn fast.
>>341749502
Also, make it Skyrim-tier for mods so people can add whatever you didn't. Mods always polish and customize for the player's tastes what devs kept a bit too simple.
>>341734003
Lurk more newfag.
>>341749646
Play adventure maps. Those are fun for a while.
>>341749646
Minecraft lets you decide what you do and what your goals are. Whether it's killing monsters, building an entire city or terraforming an entire biome to get enough gold to make a 60 foot statue of your dick, Minecraft lets you set the objective. It's as open world as it gets.
>>341749502
>>341749396
I want these, too. Moreso more mobs and structures.
>>341737725
I had the exact same problem. Turns out, in order to reset your account authenticity, you need to contact Mojang support and give them the licence key you received by email when you bought the game. Turns out, my dad deleted the email with the license key when he bought it for me years ago, so I guess I just have to buy it again.
Fuck Mojang accounts.
this game is retarded and dangerous for the human brain.
of course it's fun.
but the baddest thing about it is that you feel like you've accomplished something after playing that game.
like as if you've accomplished something in real life, which prevents you from rejoining the real life
>>341748827
>gain it's original userbase back
>>341749072
>Quests, with towns...
Kill yourself you stupid faggot
>>341746219
>>341746219
>>341746219
Also bump for this.
Vanilla Minecraft is neat as fuck. Come play with us.
>>341739703
This is the face of a man that simply stopped giving any sort of fuck.
I can't even be mad at him, he's like /v/ incarnate, except he actually has influence.
Post more bantz.
>>341751246
>>341749396
>>341750078
Shit ideas. Mods do this and its already boring as fuck. The journey to end-game is slightly longer but still boring.
its fun modded. im playing agrarian skies 2 right now. was playing some magicserb from /vg/ a couple of days ago
>>341750419
"Look, someone has a different opinion than me! I should tell him to kill himself, that'll teach him."
What exactly is wrong with wanting some optional questing? Some people enjoy having a little direction.
Someone wanna lend me their minecraft account? I'll suck yo dick mang.
>>341751876
>sandbox game
>directions
Literally kill yourself.
>>341752179
Just torrent it
What was the patch that ruined world generation?
1.8 was it?
>>341752258
But sidequests are not directions. It won't make you complete the game but encourage exploration and make villages actually worth visiting.
>>341752483
1.8 is when game started to go downhill IMO
>>341752258
Nice argument big guy.
>>341751632
Well, one-up us. What do you think can be better than our ideas? Genuinely curious.
>>341752990
>>341753032
Stay mad you underage degenerates.
But this board is literally what started Minecraft's path to success.
>>341734003
People don't hate the game itself, just it's autistic as fuck community.
>got bored of playing alone years ago
>add some servers
>every single one of them is some complex as fuck bunch of ''game modes'' and shit with the chat full of colored text advertisements
What the actual fuck.
>>341741819
got a good mod list?
also, does the aether work with the zelda/combat mod?
>>341753131
Your argument is "a game is only allowed to have features of its officially decided genre, and having any other content turns it into a steaming pile of shit."
You must be fun at parties.
>>341752992
>glacier
Good shit.
>>341753429
Check this post >>341746219
>>341734003
Because there are kids playing it who were born after it was made.
>>341753820
>You must be fun at parties.
Nice meme
>>341754131
And no counterargument either. So you actually believe that out-of-genre content is a terrible idea? Variety, done properly, is good.
To use a modern example, being able to build and customize robots in Fallout 4. Regardless of how it was implemented, since it's not a standard feature in post-apocalyptic shooters, this concept is automatically dog shit?
>>341734003
People actully doesn't hate Minecraft, they hate almost everything that surrounds Minecraft.
Player base is cancer and Notch is a greedy fat fuck.
However with mods it is an amazing game. And if you gather a few friends on a server, it is infinitely fun.
>>341753653
Only mod I installed was grimoire of gaia and it was to play some comfy dungeon crawler map
>>341754572
Didn't read a single word of this autistic novel you just wrote.
>>341736567
There is absolutely no reson to play MC without mods.
>>341754750
Forgot to mwntion. I recommend thaumacraft and industrialcraft or however you spell those.
>>341734003
Minecraft is fun, just most people here have the creativity and imagination roughly equivalent to a cockroach, so they hate Minecraft on principle.
>>341754830
Let me put this into words you understand:
Shit piss ass butt fuck ooga booga booga
vanilla minecraft is fun but it wont be for long. it's basically legos
the real fun starts once you play modded minecraft
>>341754830
I forgot, school is officially out for summer. How was your school year? Did you pass remedial English?
I really enjoy unmodded survival Minecraft. It has pretty much endless playability for me since I like building large farms/projects and gathering the materials for them. My friends find it extremely boring, though. To each their own I guess.
The community is lackluster, but I wouldn't have much to play if I avoided every game with a bad player base. For the most part I only play with friends (if anyone) though, so that helps.
>>341734003
It's overdeveloped. After hunger was implemented, it went from a super fun creative building game to a survival game.
Apparently it's a shitty RPG now.

>>341755227
Did they add some deep sea stuff into the game?
>>341755712
friend there are two people you've linked to in that post
though I do support all of his actions
>>341736843
I don't understand these kinds of people
>>341737138
>>341736929
You guys tried the Gear VR version?
>>341734003
I played it a lot in multiplayer (private server with friends) years ago. Since then they've added basically nothing worthwhile, fixed none of the problems the game had (while adding new ones), and I'm burnt out on its style of gameplay for life. On top of that, it has the worst fanbase.
>>341734003
Because it's popular. People don't hate the game, they hate the people who play it.
>>341755813
Just monuments and two sea hostiles, but that's it.
>>341734003
Wasted potential: The game
>>341746219
cant connect to server. Whats up with that?
>>341755617
This. I dont die from starvation in 5 minutes.
>>341756657
depends on the error message
>>341756886
it says it cant connect to server.
>>341749646
You just dick around building stuff and maybe exploring a bit but the world gen is pretty samey so mainly you just find a nice spot and build something there
>>341757046
Maybe it's just not for me, but I don't see how people can play it for as long as they do. To each his own, I guess.
>>341757042
make sure you changed your mc version to 1.7.3 beta and didn't mess up the ip address when you typed it in, other than that I've got nothing
>prefer magic mods while my friends prefer tech mods
>mfw I make witchery poppets and they still havent figured out what the fuck is going on
minecraft is a weird game. it's so bad without mods but so good with mods. I haven't played vanilla since 1.4 or so
>>341734003
I'm gay for Steve from Minecraftia
>>341734003
People dislike it here because there are very few fanbases that are more autistic than the Minecraft kids.
>>341749072
By far the stupidest bullshit idea I've seen related to this game.
>>341734003
it sucks because it lacks basic combat features or any sense of danger. I remember playing it and yearning for it to be more but I built all this grand shit and it had no use because I could win by cheesing everything with stupid shit.
also, the combat is the most barebones lazy shit ever even if the enemies weren't so easily cheesable. it's stupid because I enjoy games where I build stuff to solve problems but it fails at that miserably and why even play it if I can use a map/model editor that doesn't limit my creativity?
Minecraft was /v/'s baby until we made it too popular plus development slowed because Notch is is a fat fuck who loves his holidays. Now we just hate it for being an autism magnet.
>>341734003
You're 6 years late m8
>>341758187
Explain to me why that is. Convert me to your way of thinking. I'm not memeing, I'm actually curious; I've always been a fan of optional quests and visiting locales. Why would optional, directional content be bad in a sandbox game?

>>341759308
Four sentences is the equivalent of a novella for an underage shitposter on summer break. He's had a hard year of reading entire sentences and you should give him some slack.
>>341748827
Remake the entire game so it doesn't run like ass, remove about all the rpg/adventure systems they've added, and restart from there
Really i'm just waiting for someone to make a good MC clone
>>341757379
Definitely, if you're not feeling the building then there's not much there. On the other hand it's pretty easy to get hung up on finishing something and it takes time since you have to mine for materials and stuff
>>341754959
Thaumcraft is great no matter its iteration. Like it always has its flaws, but ultimately it always feels more like it enhances the overall experience and gives a true progression to the game than some other mods which feel like they merely add to the experience with their own individual progression outside of Minecraft's.
If you ever get Thaumcraft, I also strongly recommend that you get Automagy. It is one of the very few Thaumcraft add-ons that doesn't feel overpowered and feels so very in line with what Thaumcraft has done, merely expanding on that.
Automagy is like a more visceral Applied Energistics based around golems, and it has some very neat Redstone items and mechanics, plus I feel like the way it presents its redcrystals feels very different compared to how most people implement wire.
>>341758893
Because you don't understand what makes Minecraft good, and you don't grasp the concept of genre.
It's a barebones creative romp with a survival twist, not an adventure game or an rpg.
That's really all there is to it.
They could add that shit, but it would be a waste of time because people play Minecraft to build cool shit, not do Skyrim radiant quests.
This may be the one game where the player has the agency to decide every facet of what he does, what you're asking for is a to be told what to do and where to go, which totally defeats the fucking point to such an extreme degree I'm legit flabbergasted.
I can't imagine you even being able to buy your own groceries with that kind of mindset, honestly.
>>341752179
>>341734003
I think the reason why so many people have come to dislike Minecraft is that is the kind of game that you just keep on playing until you get really bored of it, so it doesn't leave the best aftertaste when the last memories you have is that it got progressively more boring. A personal problem I have with it is that while there are a lot of mechanics, all of them are pretty shallow. I feel the same way about the Sims, and I also think they're both good games,
>>341760703
You're not forced to do anything in that scenario, though. To use your example, Skyrim forces you to do shitty quests because that's the entire game. You can't farm for resources, build homes and create elaborate machines in Skyrim. If Minecraft had quests, it would be optional things to do if you're looking for a specific reward. Like some guy wants a nearby cave lit up because zombies keep coming out of it and trampling his crops, and he'll reward you with some melon seeds and a handful of wheat, and then point you to a nearby village that has some villagers with good trades.
>>341752992
I agree.
>>341761656
But what I'm saying is that the things you are asking for are so pointless for the type of game it's in, that it would be laughably retarded for them to implement at all.
Implementing quests in DayZ or some shit wouldn't take away from it either, but that doesn't mean every second the devs worked on it wouldn't be a head-scratching waste of time.
Just because implementing something wouldn't hurt doesn't mean it should be implemented.
>>341752992
Fucking this
>destroyed world generation
>added hunger which COMPLETELY ruined the pace of the game
>added dumb worthless shit like ravines and useless villages
genuinely the worst update in any game ever.
>>341762030
What about having these quests implemented for new players? I've spent more time on the wiki than I have actually playing the game. What if it was quests for learning how to utilize redstone, or using the more advanced crafting recipes?
>>341762576
An in-game guide would be vastly superior to having shit popping up in my face to waste my time with for the sake of completion.
I play Minecraft in Hardcore mode, I don't want a fucking log full of noob quests every time I screw the pooch and kick the bucket.
>>341762475
On the bright side I like how they've addressed that whole regeneration thing with food now in recent updates. It feels a little less tedious and more worthwhile to eat things.
>>341746219
>An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
What do
>>341762857
I don't think the optional quests would be so intrusive. There's no reason for a quest marker to dominate your screen and pester you with its existence every thirty seconds.
It would literally be
>find farm
>talk to guy
>do whatever if you feel like it
Or
>find farm
>take all his stuff
>leave
There's no reason we should have a Skyrim-style BUBADUM GO DO MAGIC QUEST, LOOK WE PUT PUT ALL OVER YOUR SCREEN JUST IN CASE YOU'RE AN AUTIST
That's completely unnecessary. Heck, there wouldn't even be a quest log because Minecraft already has books, and you can just make one yourself if you feel up to it.
>>341763757
aside from ensuring it is the right version and ip address, the only help I can give is telling you to restart your router/computer
>>341763757
Idk, works for me and for other people on the server.
Try "autism.uk.to" as the IP.
>>341762030
Seems like a clear case of "me taste vs your taste".
Minecraft as it is is an incomplete game. It could develop into several types of games depending on what you add to it, but otherwise it's just a glorified lego game with a bland world not worth exploring.
