"Back in my day, we'd use Diamond gear and nothing else, and WE LIKED IT."

Anyway, let's join in today at 24:00 UTC and start dropping WoW references in the ender-dragon raid.

That said, not looking at the Endermen is easier said than done. I accidentally looked at one towards the end of the battle. IIRC, what actually happened was that I stopped to say something in chat with my crosshairs pointed forward, and an Enderman moved into them. The Endermen outrun you so I was defenseless and died... I ended up missing the final blow to the dragon.

Perhaps, but it's unlikely the next thing they do will be anywhere near as successful. They might as well please the people that made them successful and keep them loyal instead of turning their backs on them. We're more likely to buy the next thing if they make Minecraft's end great.

What adventure? All they seem to have bothered with is some generated locations, enchantments and that dragon. Still not much of an adventure mode. From what I remember hearing back in the day, 1.0 was supposed to be full adventure mode. Looks like they just decided to fuck it all and release it half baked. Whatever, I still have fun with the regular multi-player mode.

I meant adventure as in the regular gameplay, not a separate game mode.

I'd like to see it have some sort of breath weapon. We were all just standing there in a cluster shooting at it. A damaging aoe would make us scatter. It would also be nice if it landed and attacked with melee. That could cause people to look at Endermen more often.

I think my main problem with the fight, though, is that I never felt threatened. It can't actually kill you unless you're really unlucky.

Individual Endermen only attack if you look at them. Looking at one will only aggro that one.

Of course, once you've aggroed one you have to look at it to fight it. And with your eyeline low you're likely to look at more, which is probably what happened to you. This is exactly why I think the Enderdragon should land at some point

A more organized group should have a couple of guys whose job is to fend off any Endermen that get aggroed.

Also, does anyone know if the Enderdragon can be fought more than once? He'd make a good XP farm.

I don't play creative. This is purely what I've seen on multi player.

Yeah when I said that I wasn't really paying attention to how I was wording it. The survival mode is the adventure mode. They kept saying they were going to have it in 1.0 and all we got was the Enderdragon, villages, and nether fortresses.
