This isn't a normal Beta. If there's something big that needs to be fixed before it's released, I'm happy to wait. I would rather not start playing only to find that chunks aren't loading properly or if you happen to place a Glass Pane on top of Obsidian, it crashes your game and corrupts your save files.
We are not the developers. We do not decide when it's ready. Mojang does.
Hey, guess what? How about backing up your save file? That should work wonders.
They have added a lot of stuff since PAX, in areas of the code that could be game breaking. And at PAX, the game did not receive anywhere near the stress test it will when we get our hands on it.

Of course its Mojangs decision but I don't think you're really reading our post, were asking for an open-beta of the 1.8 beta patch which is the "unofficial version" and is made for testers. Some of us are fine with trying out the buggy version and we are prepared to accept the consequences. For those who would rather be on the safe side can wait for the official version next week.
Still no hope now, seems jeb isn't going to do that sort of thing.
Some people just seem to miss the notion of optional updating: if you think a hurried bug ridden release is going to ruin your life just don't update until 1.8.X. Easy.
BTW I guess there's some good reason not to release tomorrow, I don't think _jeb would be so cautious otherwise.
Theres bugs and then there are hidden, uncomon, game cripling problems and it would sound like they may have found one or two of those. Relax people. Go play a different game. Im happy to wait months.
Fine then I'll go ask Notch to delay the update for 1000 months. LETS SEE IF YOU'LL WAIT NOW.
But then everyone just complains because they don't know what is coming out, and it feels like mojang has been doing nothing for months. Even knowing there is an update in the works is enough. And if we didn't know, people would complain that they abandoned minecraft.
I don't understand...you liked 1.7, so why not play that whilst you wait?
Because in the time since 1.7 was released, we've already done pretty much all it has to offer? And 1.8 is bringing a ton of new stuff? New stuff that will be easiest to enjoy in a new world, with the new world generation?
This is what I don't understand; this is Beta, who cares about the bugs, that's what we're for! Beta means we, the users, are part of their tests for bugs! JUST GIVE IT TO US! They're treating this game like a final release, not the proper beta that it is. Give us broken content at a phenomenal pace!

Backing up your save files isn't going to fix the bugs in the game or make it any more playable if there's lag issues or crashing issues.
Yes, but it prevents your world from being corrupted while they work on the bugfix for a day or two.
But.... but.... but....... nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (Best cry ever)

PlanetSide 2 Megathread because why not?
It's actually a good idea for those who are not planning on starting over.
But then everyone just complains because they don't know what is coming out, and it feels like mojang has been doing nothing for months. Even knowing there is an update in the works is enough. And if we didn't know, people would complain that they abandoned minecraft.
There really isn't any way to win.
Because in the time since 1.7 was released, we've already done pretty much all it has to offer? And 1.8 is bringing a ton of new stuff? New stuff that will be easiest to enjoy in a new world, with the new world generation?
What's so hard to understand about this?
