I hate to say it, but Blockland is losing players for no reason.

We are losing some players because of the new update. Don't get me wrong, I love v21, but apparently some don't. Hell, I got a friend who's confident terrain is coming back. However, some people are disliking Blockland for other reasons. Some think the new GUI is simplistic? Deal with it. Some don't like Gamemodes? It's like speed-dial on a phone, just choose Custom and ignore it. You think Blockland is more for kids? Well, I got news for you: that's probably what Badspot imagined it at the beginning as well.

Terrain and interiors, let's face it. They're- aw, forget it, I'm too lazy for this.

These two features complicate Blockland’s code tremendously. That means we can’t add game features very quickly. They still have bugs in them (after years of work). They are slow, too - bricks are about 90% of their speed and can do a LOT more (explosions, events, in-game editing).

They also look bad.

My friend even banned Kompressor from his server because of shaders (No offense).

Come on people! Just enjoy Blockland for what it is! Forget terrain (Aw hell, there are terrain bricks people) and interiors, shaders and shadows are better!

What are you talking about? Where the hell are you getting the idea that Blockland is "losing tons of players?"

[pecon98]

That's just summer ending for you.

actually there is a reason, some people can't run graphics and they have intel or something and their blockland won't run, that's a pretty good reason.

Not tons of players, but we are losing some.

You just disable shaders. You're not required to use the new graphics. In fact the new graphics are even off by default.

Yes, but there are some who hate shaders. I saw a guy quit in front of my eyes because of how blockland is turning out to be.

Things don't happen for 'no reason'.

I know, but they hate the other features as well.

Mostly the lack of terrain.

[pecon98]

I'm suspecting that once the new graphics are really well optimized Badspot is going to do some extra advertising that shows off the new graphics. Once that happens we should start seeing more players coming in.

Lack of terrain is a good thing. Terrain was on my nerves.

That's why it's optional. Practically everything that was added is optional. The only difference is that terrains and interiors are gone, and if they're really that distraught because they lost those two "features" we're better off without them. Good riddance.

exactly but some people, oh some people...

It irks me to no end that the update produced no noticeable performance changes for me while removing features that I had grown to enjoy and not allowing me to utilize the feature that was the point of the whole update.

I always loved Blockland's terrain; skiing was a beautiful thing and it was such a nice backdrop for builds. The stupidity towards myself and my fellows for simply enjoying a good feature is astounding.

But I'm sticking around.
