Blockland is becoming more of a realistic FPS engine than a building game (rant)

[Cybertails1998]

I was complaining about how there were no good weapons being made (and about every weapon actually coming out being ripped straight from CoD) and how non-CoDDM servers get only 2 players at most

Yesterday my mini empires got 15 people at once, I think. Maybe fourteen? I don't remember, but that's more than 2.

Then that's a matter of the community's fault. Garry's Mod is the same way, whatever is popular is whatever gets thrown into the game by modders. If you want to promote the creation of original content then promote it. Create a clan, make a difference. Until then, things will stay the same.

Besides, this is also partly due to the fault that this game is targeted at a younger audience which results in the constant abuse of Knife TDMs and Family RPs.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as you said there ARE good servers out there. Blockland is still a growing community, who knows what changes could occur.

I 100% agree with the OP. I see this stuff more and more every day. I don't mind if I see another deathmatch or TDM or something, just as long as there aren't more than 2 that use the same stuffty BF3 guns and all that crap.

We also need more mods are aren't just a bunch of ranged weapons.

There are plenty of Midevil/RPG based weaponry as well as other melee weapons from Tier+Tact.

There are a lot of COD/BF3 based guns but you guys are acting like those are the only weapons in Blockland that exist.

Well, how come I'm never seeing anybody actually use it? I haven't seen a DM or TDM in a long while that uses anything like this. And whenever I do, it often seems to come from a server that was just pulled out of the host's arse.

Maybe it's because it's what everyone is using nowadays. I don't want a highly advanced realistic firearm with ammo or reloading. Most of us want just an original basic gun that fits with the style of Blockland. Is it really too much to ask?

So you represent the majority of Blockland's demographic? Also, what gives you the right to deem what fits to Blockland's style? Blockland is a sandbox game that is open minded to whatever genre.

freedom of being a modder is you can make whatever you want. heres some tips:
1. suggest an idea.
2. wait for someone to make the idea.
3. if no one makes it make it yourself.

[ruiner369]

Well, this is a sandbox game, we can do what we want, and yeah, I saw you expected a reply like this.
But please, why bother tell it to us? I'm absolutely sure that the most of us don't give a forget for it and play how they want. If you don't like something about BL or its community / players, deal with it.

people the argument is over you don't have to keep spitting out your opinions here anymore.

I mean seriously what makes you think that nobody else has thought of what you're saying and posted it in the last five pages.
