The problem about waiting this update, IMO, is that I know all the stuff it offers. So, it makes the actual version of the game quite... how can I say that... not really empty, but I know something is missing and it's annoying sometimes.
This feeling is as big as this update. So frustrating.
Notch said in the live stream that he doesnt have a set release date, but it sounds like he was also thinking seriously about releasing 1.8 in parts rather than as one big update.
Check out my commentary and multiple shows-Including survival with the Better Than Wolves mod and others! I also advertize uprising machinima directors and let's players. And lastly we offer the largest youtube song collection organized to your liking! ENJOY!
I honestly don't care when 1.8 comes out. They could either release it really soon and have tons of bugs, or release it later, when they've solved most bugs. I prefer the second option.

The rumors of 1.8 this sunday are greatly exaggerated. We'll be in the air on our way to Sweden at that time.

If that's not proof you must be mentally handicapped :dry.gif:
hmmm maybe we are going back to SECRET FRIDAY UPDATES! :biggrin.gif: I hope for that friday to be 1.8 ready or ill need to patiently wait for awesomness
Ok thats a good thing then, sometimes they usually post updates with out testing them. Then you would get alot of bugs, the game would crash all that crap.
If I can put my two cents on this topic, I think that everyone should wait until Notch, and Mojang get everything done at PAX and when they get the bugs out of the new update. I think it is a topic to be excited about, but not to go berserk over it. I mean, I thinks it's going to be the update that will make or break Minecraft. I think it will make Minecraft grow even more. I mean 3 million purchases already. Wow. But anyway, in my opinion, I think people should calm down, not shouting, 1.8! 1.8! OMG!

@Patt
I'm guessing they would be. Seems logical they would complete the terrain generation for 1.8 so you don't have to keep starting new maps in 1.8.X.
DEMOCEPTION!
Beta != demo. Beta is a stage of development.

Then code npcs and what ever else they get done and do 1.8.1
Then just keep adding the stuff was planned for 1.8 and putting out smaller patch's.
It's more annoying when someone posts a response to these threads as an entirely new thread whining and raging that people are asking these questions.
Please don't add to the spam, and make a post that has content beyond bitching, hmm?

I blame all these F2P companies that throw the word Beta around just to get people to play their games, for this misconception.
So thats my two cents. :smile.gif:
