Mother fucker, got too excited. Wolves is the proper use of the word. :haw:
[quote=Notch]There are manly men with powertools in our office, punching floors and walls in an attempt to make things look better. As a result, we haven’t been able to work from the office this week, and worked from home. Jens spent most of the week working on a new mob; the wolf! You can tame it and order it to follow you around, and it’ll work as a pet. They’re fairly rare, but they won’t despawn once you’ve tamed them.
I worked on the achievement and stats system. One design issue was dealing with offline mode and synching the achievements once you get a connection again, but that’s been solved. We’ve got a couple of people in the office who don’t like achievements in games at all, so the goal is to design something that they’re fine with.
Achievements will NOT be chores like “cut down 10000 trees”, but rather challenges like “ride a pig off a cliff”. Stats, however, will be used to keep track of how many trees you have cut down. The long term plan is to show achievements and stats from the profile page on minecraft.net as well, in case you want to brag.
Just keep in mind that because you can design your own levels and run your own servers, people will be able to cheat with achievements and stats! ;)[/quote]
I love the idea. And it makes bones even more useful. And having pets is awesome. And wolves are badass. And the animations are cool.
The only thing I don't like is the skin.
Lesson #1 about the Minecraft forum...Every single update is posted first in the minecraft chat thread, we don't need topics about each update.
D'awww, it's cute!
They should be hostile at night, if untamed.
They seem kindof silly as is. Get army of wolves. Game becomes ezmode. Should have a limit of one as a pet or something.

I, personally, would've never known, since I don't go to the minecraft chat thread.

And it's a bit boring to check all the post since when I come back from work there's arround 300 new posts...

Maybe you should. All things new are posted and reposted there.

Judging by their collars I thought I was going to have craft a collar to tame them. It would make it a bit more balanced I think having to make them like you and THEN tame them. That way no one will end up with a pack of 48 wolves unless they tried really hard.
Incase you're wondering, the craft recipe I was thinking of would be wool in a 3x3 square with the bottom being a gold ingot.

Like that. As is stands I feel it's too easy. I don't have to fight skeletons for their bones, I wake up each day and bam there are 10 bones lying around.

What if I don't want to sift through five hundred posts of drama and circlejerk to actually find the shit I'm interested in.
their eyes are odd, I hope the get changed back to the smaller ones from the previous pictures.
I'm kinda sad to see it's so easy to get a pet. I'd should be like really fucking hard to get a pet. Makes it more rewarding and "exclusive" at the same time.
If dungeons would be fucking everywhere they would be boring as fuck if you know what I mean.

They're adding a limit to how many wolves you can tame.
They look so cute.
They reminded me of my dog :buddy:
Super late
But I'm stoked for the update.

Like I said. Everything is posted and reposted. You don't need to sift through 500 pages of drama.
I wonder if the ones without a collar are going to be hostile during the day.
Achievements are gonna be so cool!
I bawed when the wolves head turned to the side and looking at you :3:
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;28669441]Achievements are gonna be so cool![/QUOTE]
They should like only count on unmodified maps and servers with "normal" maps. Otherwise people will just generate a map with dirt replaced by diamond and shit to get the "Collect 100 Diamond" achievement if it's there.
Awww, look at them dawgies. So cooool... Also, anyone know when 1.4'll come out? I'm guessing a few weeks, since jeb_'s still got a bit of work to do.
Y'know, maybe a kennel could be built to house your Wolf, for healing and stuff.
The little shake after they were in the water made my heart melt :h:

There are gonna be no "collect # X" achievements.Notch has said this like 12 times already.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is this offical or is it a mod?

official
also I love the water-shaking, it really adds a dimension to the animal. I hope he updates the other animals to act a little less like legos at some time or another

If cows were to graze when on a grass block, that would be cool.
sheep should steal your seeds and pigs should be communists attempting to overthrow the player
[QUOTE=Glent;28670702]sheep should steal your seeds and pigs should be communists attempting to overthrow the player[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure the pigmen civilization are going to be the ones to do that.
But otherwise, pigs could help search for shrooms...
