Why we should have the old Blockland back.
Tezuni 2.0:
Heed is right with all his points made in this topic. Maps were convenient. And no, removing them didn't make people build better.
To the people saying 'just build it yourself', not everyone has hours upon hours to spend doing that, nor do 99% of people want to.
And lastly, brick MAPS (thousands of bricks rendered in 3d) are more graphically taxing than the old interiors.

Just addressing this part. They don't MAKE people build better, but they promote the idea of building things how you want.

2 problems with heeds argument in that last post he made is that a megatopic type thing would be fine if the topic creator wasn't just a raging kid with no substance in the op. its literally going to make people not agree with the op because it has no substance, and thats just a truth evident even in this thread.
"It's because there's more to it than building. Many videos about blockland don't feature building, they feature doing things in the builds. Some people might just want to play the game without building, and a lot of people do. There's nothing wrong with just joining other servers and playing TDMs and zombie minigames."
okay, so let the lazy or the people who don't want to build do that? it looks like they're coping with the situation just fine, not sure why others are having such a fit over it.

How is the megatopic thing a problem with the arguement? You're using a hypothetical situation to make it sound like a flawed idea. I was using BADSPOT'S topic as an example, it was once the megatopic before it got locked. I don't see how your assumption that the megatopic would be made by a raging kid is a flaw in my argument.
2. How is that a flaw? I was responding directly to this quote:
"If you aren't a fan of building things then idk how you'd even consider investing in a game with that slogan :P"
I answered by giving examples of why people would invest in a building game to do things other than build. It's like how people buy ARMA2 to play DayZ, something that isn't a military simulation. How is that a flaw in the argument?

they were replies to statements you made in the previous post. sure, i wasn't totally clear, but surely you have the ability to understand the basic messages im conveying to you.
you misunderstood the megatopic as well, i meant that, when talking about the creator, i was referring to this thread and why it shouldn't be the actual megathread, and the point beyond that was compounded by posts people have made in this topic regarding the ops lack of substance. i was not referring to some magical future scenario wherein i knew the op of such a thread would be a raging idiot...
yes the post wasn't black and white but its really not that hard to interpret lol
