Ill say this again:
Maps in Blockland only served as an excuse for players to not have to build. Why build a nice city when you could load a pre-made one that doesn't use bricks?
Before shaders, almost all servers relied on maps to accomplish any terrain or surrounding. Now without them, people are forced to actually build unique and interesting things to do what that want, and thats a good thing.
I was sick to death of all the minimalist dogfights and map challenges that anyone could churn out with no effort.
The only downside to this is the old users who still complain about shaders and refuse to get off their lazy asses and actually build something.
"Remember the time where we could be lazy?? Yeah! I want that back!"
Build Something Nice for Once Dammit
people aren't forced to build unique things. there isn't some blockland revolution of amazing building potential after the update. if you look around, the lazy are still lazy. they load builds like collab city or any default build and play on those. it's no different than loading a map somebody else made. people AREN'T forced to be unique. people AREN'T forced to build. the lazy can remain lazy, and that's what they are doing.
You shouldn't be forced to not be lazy. People can play the game how they want, I don't see what's wrong about people just loading a map to have simple fun on. If you're so against lazy things, I'm sure you can go out and make something unique and original and have a good time on it.
I realize there's more value than just building, but the game is clearly advertised as the game where you build stuff... If you aren't a fan of building things then idk how you'd even consider investing in a game with that slogan :P
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.
It is fine to have an opinion and think that the older versions are better. However, it is not fine to whine about how the new versions suck, petition to get the old versions back, ect.
There's already been 203920 of these stupid-ass threads and all they do is spam up General Discussion. We get it, you're unhappy with the new version... Suck it up, get used to the new version, and stop making threads about it. Maps are not coming back, it would be impossible to bring maps back. They were removed to make progress and that's that, like it or not.
There was once a place where people could talk about terrains vs shadows, and that was in
terrains vs shadows. People will continue to post these threads, there's no megatopic left to post in.
@Bold, Unless you're talking about the old maps, that's a blatant lie. Maps as a features can always be re-added into the game. It's not "impossible" to add them back in.
