Minecraft Players Get Blocky Yet Adorable Pet Wolves

[Cpu46]

They look pretty funny. That's cool that they attack other animals for you. Maybe theyd defend against spiders and other such things? Cant wait until fortress craft comes out. It's gonna be sweeet

Blasphemy! Let the creepers burn the impure!
[sub]Kidding of course, my dislike of fortress craft does not extend to those who support it[/sub]

OT: I totally want a wolf and I hope they make more pet like mobs.

Mojang needs to
A: Hurry the fuck up, or
B: Just release proper mod support because clearly modders can do better things with Minecraft anyway despite not being professionals with millions backing them.

Wow, someone is a little impatient. Seriously, have you ever tried to make a game or code anything? It is far from easy, and with a ton of people like you demanding that he hurry up, it isn't any easier. People have lives outside of computers, you know. All these people that want him to spend every second his life on this game don't deserve to play it.

I can understand all that. However surely you can understand that when someone pays for something PRIOR TO ITS COMPLETION, with the promise the money is going towards development, a bit of regularity in that process would be expected, as opposed to announcements of 3 consecutive vacations and the inclusion of fanmade content with minimal official additions.

Wow Notch, way to put mods in the main game! Truly Mojang is the developer of the decade.

A: He took a vacation.

He took several, in succession. Without updates.

B: Awards ceremonies... lots of them.

For a game that ISN'T FUCKING FINISHED.

C: He's taking aquatics courses.

How is this an excuse?

D: Their office has been dismantled.

Now that would be fair, but hardly explained the months of time it takes to get out the smallest of content.

Also, how are they supposed to implement new ideas when modders with nothing better to do keep beating them to the punch?

Modders aren't millionaires thanks to an UNFINISHED PRODUCT. Notch has slowed to a crawl with releasing now content, and often when he DOES release it, the new content is specifically stated to be mod content added to the main game (literally everything but beds in the last update were mod content).

You kind of chose to invest your money into playing an incomplete game made by somebody that has never had to deal with a fanbase of millions and, as such, doesn't yet realize that he must spend every day developing the game rather than living.

 

[Magnalian]

Goddamn, I love Mojang so much.. I wouldn't be surprised if they won MM this year.

 

[Bobbity]

Holy. Crap. That looks awesome! I can't wait to unleash my pet wolves upon the evil cree- crap. That won't work, will it?

 

[latenightapplepie]

This is not at all the kind of update I was next expecting for Minecraft.

But what a lovely surprise it is! Those little guys are adorable!

 

[lacktheknack]

Holy. Crap. That looks awesome! I can't wait to unleash my pet wolves upon the evil cree- crap. That won't work, will it?

There's two ways it will work:

1. They kill it so fast it doesn't blow up.
2. You're ready to go find more wolves afterwards.

 

[RMcD94]

So we're getting wolves now? Oh wait we've had those for like 4 months as a mod.

Or maybe they can be in development limbo while that doppleganger completes itself in the next year with DLC and everything. You do make a good point though. Maybe we should have showered him with money and praise after he finished the game....

 

[Agent Larkin]

Every time I try to get out they just pull me back in...

 

[Tiger Sora]

I was like Oh Wolfies...The he shook off the water and I was sold!

I don't play Minecraft but I felt the same way. To damn cute for pixles.

 

[Vohn_exel]

Can you acquire resources from them to make a 3 wolf moon shirt?

LOL I have that shirt, and the first thing someone said to me was "Woah, the Three Wolf Moon shirt!" and linked me to the video.

OT, those things are AWESOME! I want one so bad! Except I wouldn't take them anywhere cause I'd be afraid they'd die, lol. I bet you have to craft a collar for them and trap them in the wild or something!

 

[Danpascooch]

B: Awards ceremonies... lots of them.

They're still there. And he still has to attend them.

No, he really does not. He could send a representative. He could say "no, I have a duty to FINISH THE GODDAMN GAME before accepting any awards for it." He could do anything besides delaying completion even more.

C: He's taking aquatics courses.

How is this an excuse?

The same reason I've suspended my LP until further notice... classes are freaking time-consuming.

But he doesn't need to be taking them to begin with, and certainly should not be giving precedence to such things over WORK.

No... they don't. You've already stated that you're more impressed with the mods than the devs, and they still work as is. You could always just download a whole whack of mods and pretend Mojang doesn't exist.

And I would be happy to, as they are clearly more competent, but Notch refuses to implement proper mod support or release source code, which actively limits modders and breaks mods every update.

My money's on number two there

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

The part where they shook off the water was almost unbearably cute. One of these days I need to actually break down and get the full game.

I'm just gonna stop you here... he's not "refusing" to do anything. He's said multiple times that he plans to do mod support, and is in fact currently working on it.

Guess you'll have to wait. Oh well.

Yes, wait 2 months for an update that's mostly mod content+1 other thing (oh boy, BEDS).

Funny thing is, If Notch rushed this game and it didn't turn out perfect, you'd be Ranting about how he Shouldn't have rushed it and how he missed tons of things that he could've added. How about you just be Patient and give Notch and the guys at Mojang a break?

The really funny part is how you brought out an entirely unrelated point and put words in my mouth about it, while not actually arguing the point of contention.

 

[Azulito]

It'd be nice if they added some form of command system. So instead of having to slap a skeleton archer for the wolves to figure it out, you could aim at the archer and press a hotkey to send the wolves to attack.

A 'stay' command would be great too.

To be honest, I think they should implement a voice/command system like those in Left 4 Dead 2 and Fallout New Vegas.

So you hold say... X down, then move your mouse over to the command.

"Attack", "Stay", "Guard", "GET THE F**K OFF MY BED"

 

[DanDeFool]

Are they any good as protection against creepers?

Probably not. I'll bet if you sic them on a creeper they just get blown up. That would be very sad.
