I love it when people are like "you paid for a testing game, so you don't have the right to complain"
Well, I do have the right to complain. Beta was supposed to be an improvement and he was advertising it like it was going to be great and like we should all be excited, and it wasn't big. It was a big flop.
It's exactly because I paid that I have every right to complain. I know I was testing it for him, but the fact is that that update made the game harder to play, and made it impossible for some people.

Since I didn't have any of the problems you described I'm going to say that you're a big poopyhead made of poop.
But really, I'm in agreement with choobs. Even full games are known to bee buggy as hell (I'm looking at you, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas) so I'm not surprised that an alpha/beta build being released by one guy has some bugs in it.

Actually, he has a team working on it. And my problem isn't with the bugs, it's with how the bugs pretty much killed the game.
And if you're game is working, then it might be because you have updated since Beta.

You have every right to complain; that's true.
What you don't have a right to is bitching and moaning because of mistakes made on initial roll out when you are the play testing phase. You don't get an automatic pass to say RUINED FOREVER when the game is still in a state of flux. (not to mention it's partially your reaponsibility to make the game better as well)
Complain to the right people. you paid for that privelege. Don't whine to people who can't do anything.
Ps. Your views are subjective. You say harder to play. That bug with ludicrous monster spawns was the most fun I had in the game even though the majority said the game was "unplayable."

Well, when I say harder to play I mean it's actually harder to play. Lag, amongst other things, such as whatever it was that made people almost automatically disconnect from servers and crash single player games. I never said they ruined it forever, not once. As for whining, if you don't want to hear me whine about it then why are we still talking about it?
My stance won't change and neither will yours. So why don't we try talking about how we all hope to see butterflies added so that we can kill them and use their wings to make magic ones that will let us fly for a certain number of uses instead of just saying "Blood it's in testing, stop saying it's "RUINED FOREVER" like every troller on the MC forums"?

That's not trolling. It's defending Notch. Not everyone who disagrees strongly is a troll.
Ps. You might want to reread your diatribe regarding the beta release if you really believe you never said that the game was ruined and not fun. Phrases like "took a poop on the game and disappeared" and "essentially broke the game" aren't hopeful constructive criticisms, I can tell you that right now.

It wasn't supposed to be constructive at that point, and I wasn't accusing you of trolling, or me. I was if anything poking fun at myself, good bloody golly.

instead of just saying "Blood it's in testing, stop saying it's "RUINED FOREVER" like every troller on the MC forums"? Choobs, you know, he actually wasn't calling you a troll. Pay attention to the quotation mark placement. He said that calling it "RUINED FOREVER" was a characteristic of trolls on the MC forums. Course, if Blood had held to the American standard of embedding quotes within quotes using the single apostrophe ('RUINED FOREVER') and saving the double apostrophe for the overall quote, that might not have tripped Choobs up. Okay, bye!!!

Bye Potato! We'll miss you!
My minecart boosters still work so I am happy about that.

But I don't see how defending a games creator can in any way be trolling, even with the MC crowd who is pretty infamous for acting dumb. Trolling is the act of acting retarded and dissenting to make everyone mad so that you can lulz. (I wrote a paper on this once!!!!) Defending the creator is just fanboyism. There's a differnce in that the latter is often the target of trolling rather than the than the opposite.
Anyway, screw Minecraft. It's time to get my Dorf Fortress on and shoa those goblins my stabs

Photu is partially right. I did typo and I did it rather badly, what I was trying to say is how the people saying "RUINED FOREVER" are trolls.
Wow. I failed big time XD

A little late, but... Blood certainly has a point, though.
The game is a lot better now (albeit still has a ways to go), on the initial version of the beta was unplayable. The bugs were bad enough, but to top off the cake, the extreme performance hit that the game took, took me from two layers of fog at 25-30fps to <10fps with three layers of fog.
I know that now the game is running a TON better than it did before, but... It was just very disappointing to be promised a working game that advanced a development stage and what we had actually gotten was a very buggy and slow single player and a multiplayer that broke things on currently existing servers.

It made for a hectic time. They were even spawning in light. Interestingly enough my tower was still standing. The worst done to it was that the door was blown off.

What?! There was an argument with Blood and I wasn't involved?! I need to make it a habit to read everything from now on so I am not left out again.
Seriously though, do you know if they made it to where us free players can finally fight stuff in the free games?

It used to be that way. You could access Survival Test, but it's been completely removed (I tried to find it again so I could hear the sounds of the enemies and what not)
I don't know why it was taken down, someone said that it was too similar to the current game, and I have to say I disagree with that.

Snazzy little shack I built on a private server. One of our guys is a spreadsheet savant, and is busy trying to build floating 50x50 logos of every major sports team in Texas, one next to the other, all the way across the map.
