Terrain (OH stuff I JUST WENT THERE)
Aphtonites:
I remember back when the new shaders were revealed, every mapper was suddenly people who were worse than Riddler and were "slowing down the progress of the game".

- Shadows
- Bots

LETS SEE WHAT WE TOOK AWAY
- Super buggy and outdated maps

For forget's sake, It didn't suddenly result in "more creative users", how the hell does that even happen?
And the maps weren't "super buggy", it depended on their quality, of course a crappy map would be buggy.

Finally, someone who sees it like I do. This is exactly why I made this topic.

bots (shaky because they were already done.)
let's see what gameplay features were taken away.
decent vehicle collision
decent fps on 1-2km sized maps
decent dog fights, fort wars, etc.
let's see what we got.
shadows and shaders that add nothing to gameplay because 50% of blockland users can't use them.

i'm not sure you quoted the right post lol
the basis for your arguments is ~75% garbage (to put it rather rudely)
your 'decent server' thing is a non-issue and you're basically just stating you personally enjoyed them more pre-v21 because nobody's made a good X since then because they relied heavily on terrain and interior
the fps issue i've already talked about
again, vehicle collision is totally valid but vehicle-on-vehicle collision is probably worse than with bricks lol
shaders don't add to gameplay most of the time, but i honestly believe they were added as a distraction from the removal of T+I. the wording of the dev topic was unfortunate and made people believe they were being added in lieu of them.

fair enough.
i guess i was focused more on explaining why it was instead of how it should've been
i agree that if they were an issue they probably should've been removed earlier, but i'm skeptical that it was something the devs were willing to do

Not suddenly no, but now that people dont have the option of loading a map and slapping down zombie spawns, they will have to evolve to BUILD the maps

that's the magic of procrastination for you
