I'd like an adventure arc to be done well, and, to be fair, progress is being made. There's currency for trading dungeon loot, and sort of dungeons. I guess I'd like the updates being put in if they were put together better. I'm fine with waiting for an update, provided it's not half-assed and isn't something lame (like a bunch of TESTIFICATES running around in a poorly designed village).

Villages - So wait, having villages makes your world WORSE? They need work but, what? The paths are weird a lot, but that doesn't mean it makes the game WORSE.

Endermen - Thats been fixed, and honestly I never had it happen to me (although I know its happened to other people).

The End - Again, it being there makes the game worse? A optional thing, that has no effect on the rest of the game, which is in essence just more content makes the game worse? whaaaaaa?

Blocks ID - That's a bug, so It'll probably be fixed.

SSP+SMP merge - We have NO idea what this means. Honestly, all we have now is speculation. Please don't freak out at speculation. IF something happens that you don't like, then say something about it (again, makes the game WORSE not just another feature which you don't have to use).

Enderchests - Again, another extra feature that you don't have to use. Its an option if you want it, and if you don't use the mod or just don't use it at all.

For me personally, it's not that the updates made the game worse, they made it better a bit I guess. They just tend to turn up disappointing compared the hype that's raised surrounding them just before the updates involved usually. I could care less about ender chests though and endermen were probably one of my favorite updates.
I'm honestly a little concerned that they'll put the block ids thing on the backburner for a while now.

What Iceball said. I don't hate the updates in the sense that my game is "RUINED FOREVER", I just hate them in the sense that they built up a lot of hype, and made it meh.

Exception is Endermen, I hated the guys back when they picked everything up, now, not so much. But they should still drop the blocks they hold.

Also, enderchests are kinda cool. It's just that they have a global inventory, so playing in a multiplayer game allows others to steal your stuff mid-trade.

Finally, the SSPSMP merge, I hate it, because all the lags and stuff are going to be applied in single player. I know that it'll be fixed in due time, however, so I only hope they do it right.

   I think I may just be pessimistic over new stuff because new stuff has a bad track record of living up to the hype that surrounds it. My best example of this is rain.

Well said. If you ask me, Notch has a track record of not doing things right at the first time.

Jeb kinda has a clean track record, but people are too familiar with Notch's hype increasing tactics to care by that time.

Edit: I realized I haven't edited this enough to make sense yet. I thought I did.

[Skyrunner]

Yeah, in my experience Jeb delivers while Notch announces.

[Vattic]

Does anyone know if things like saddles or dungeons are going to get updated? I seem to remember the dungeons being just the beginning of something more interesting but I don't know if that was ever official.

[Skyrunner]

I don't remember...

Saddles are pretty useless atm, and dungeons... sigh.

Once again, mods deliver.

[Trapezohedron]

If anything, there's pyramids in the recent snapshot, which totally dwarfs a dungeon in terms of value and size.

That much is true. Would still like to see more dungeon crawling. The strongholds are an example of what I'd like to see but they are too few. The pyramid trap is a nice addition and would add to any future dungeon updates. I'm quite fond of the nether forts even if they are largely empty.

[Trapezohedron]

Yeah. There's fun in walking in an unknown well-built area than an infinite cave system. Especially when that well-built area contains prize chests.

[Devling]

I like all the generated structures, I wish they were a little more common.

(also there is only one stronghold per world which you can find by using either ender pearls or ender eyes with right click if you don't know that already)

[Skyrunner]

There's only one stronghold per world? D:

I would have liked it if they were a lot more common...

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   There are actually 3 now, originally there was only 1 but really when you get down to it the difference is almost nill.

[Trapezohedron]

Only 3 strongholds per world exist, and they're supposedly near the spawn. Which means, after walking a few thousand miles, you can be sure not to see any strongholds underground.

Don't know why they maxed it at 3, and IIRC, Notch (or was it Jeb?) said that the stronghold count would eventually be set to infinite.

That would be sweet!
Does throwing ender eyes still work to locate strongholds?
