Author Topic: Option to choose most versions. (READ BEFORE DISSMISSING AS AN ANTI V21 TOPIC!)  (Read 816 times)

Now before you dissmiss this as a whiner thread, listen. I can understand that the community is currently divided into two sides. I can understand why people hate V21 and why people like V21. I can understand that we need to move on. But if you give no people no option to choose what version they like, a lot of people will not like the forcing of new updates. For example, Google forcing Google+ and the One Channel on the Youtubers was a bad idea. And removing everything that people like without giving them an option to choose will turn the Blockland Community into the Genwunners of online gaming. And now this isn't just for the people who liked the maps, this is for the people who liked the REAL first Blockhead design (not the Lego Minifig, I like the Minifig but we can't use it for copyright reasons) and for the people who like Shaders. As you can see, I am not charging into this like a rabid Fanboy. I am simply anaylizing the community and comparing the admin's behavior to other behaviors of groups of people (Not ment to insult the admins in any way).

And how will my idea work, you may ask? Before the game loads, there is an option to choose the Blockland Launcher Era BL or the V7-V19 era BL. After you selected the era, you choose what version you want (IE: V14) and then the version you want loads up.

And now onto anaylizing. Kompressor's action are very similar to Google's actions. Allow me to explain this. When Kompressor removed maps, he gave us no option to play with V20 or V21, thus causing havoc in the Blockland community. 11 moths later, Google removed the Cosmic Panda channel layout and gave the youtubers no option to choose from the One Channel and the Cosmic Panda, causing the Youtubers to rebel against Google. But what if we had an option to choose V21 or v20? How would the community react? Later on, Badspot removed all links to previous versions and replaced them with links to v21, similar to Google patching all the hacks to swtich channel layouts. (And yes, I do realize I was only talking about maps there).

So, what do you think of my idea? Tell me what's wrong with my idea and what's right with it instead of saying '''OMG STAHP TRYIN 2 BRING MAPZ BAKZ)


Do you really think you're the first person to come up with this idea? It wouldn't work.

No, I am not. However, I was thinking of valid reasons instead of charging in like an idiot.

If you don't like v21, go download another version.

I like v21 in someways and dislike it in others. And no, I don't just dislike it because of no maps, I dislike it because of the loss of builds and the fact that you have no choice to choose what version you like.

no choice to choose what version you like
life in a nutshell, get used to it.

You know if you could READ the title and READ my text and tell me what you have against my idea, maybe you can understand that this isn't your generic bring back maps topic.

People whine about v21.

"Oh my god the maps are removed" - Just get over it, either that or we can't upgrade to do better

I did read your text, and I did read your title. I am not for v21 and I am not against v21 but it's not your game and as I stated earlier you can download an older version if you want to.

Older versions are not supported on this forum so don't expect any help.

There are like 20 other topics suggesting the same thing, your "reasons" are literally the same as the others (besides you comparing the Badspot and Kompressor to Google).

I am aware of that. And I feel compassoniate about these people and I understand their needs. And this isn't just about the maps, it's about the loss of builds, limited generated structures to build on, ETC.

A lot of people don't know HOW to download other versions and even if they did, people would start posting them on the forums and the amount of bans will increase, thus giving people bad impressions of the admins.

i don't think it's really fair to compare v21 to Google+ integration in youtube

I know. I was comparing the impact. And to all of those people who say that all of my reasons have been repeated over 9000 times, I am simply trying to make clear that I want people to think of BL as a user friendly game.
