Author Topic: Blockland News Update 2/5/14 - Blockland DDOS Attack, The Future of RTB, etc.  (Read 2485 times)

Not sure there's a single fact in this whole video, 0/10

the commentary is awful
just being honest
Well god you guys could just listen to it.
I watched the entire thing.

You need to have a much more clearer and concise script. Also it sounded like you were suffering from a cold; I suggest you wait until your sinuses have cleared before talking into the microphone, otherwise it sounds incredibly amateur.

Like others have said, cite your sources. I heard a lot of things in there that seemed like your personal assumptions regarding the future of several matters that you discussed.

Personally, I had no problem with the FOV because of the time I've spent playing Urban Terror; I feel much safer when I see more of what is surrounding me, and small FOV's just seem clumsy and annoying to me. However, as the general majority of people here are much more inferior to my intelligence and supreme gameplay style accustomed to a smaller FOV, I suggest you change it accordingly during filming.

Alright, you want critique?

1. Your Blockland audio is too loud. Gunshots sometimes muffle your voice.
2. Badspot does not need a server farm. I don't think you understand how DDoS attacks work, they saturate the network connection. Having more processing power won't help.
3. Man of Reason was never technically confirmed as the DDoSer. You can't really confirm yourself, you can only take credit for an attack. It could be Okiver with MoR just taking credit.
4. I've heard absolutely nothing about RTB being bundled with Blockland. In fact, Ephialtes actually said "As it stands, I won't be playing any part in the future of Blockland's development either."
5. Ephialtes is pronounced eff-ee-all-tays.
6. Ephi is shutting down RTB, he's not just loving with us. Your speculation is wrong, your source of Ephi saying he'll be working on RTB comes from 2 months ago. It's out of date.
7. Speculating on rumors of how add-on development will change is spreading misinformation.
8. Blockland is not going to be ported to Linux, at least not in an officially supported way.
9. Your name does not have spaces. It's ThePianoGuy.

I don't mean to come off as a total starfish, but Rub kind of hit it right on the head with his comment:

Thank you for your comment. I'll make sure I improve in the future. I can agree, this is my first time posting News videos on the forums and back then when I did other episodes I wasn't around people that would of given me constructive criticism, you know? Thank you.

I agree, I'll make sure to use facts next time.

Hey, your not being an starfish, just giving me constructive criticism, that's all! But there are some things I can disagree with, such as the whole: "Your name does not have spaces. It's ThePianoGuy," type of thing. That was kinda off topic and non-related to the News, I would of changed it with I made my new username but I haven't found anyway to change my username on the forums. I would of gotten more information if it wasn't for the forums going off and on because of the DDOS attacks, it was sorta my fault not getting my information before it happened. Also one more thing: This news episode wasn't really that much news as said; it is more like a rant video. I'll start hopefully a poll that should I change the format or should I keep the current one. Thank you for your fee back.

I am sorry that you went through that: "pain," (xD) of my awful commentary. I was kind of on a time limit, a ton of school work I had to get done. So I just wanted to rush out as much "news" as I can. Thank you for your fee back.

i lol'd at the whole law part. you made it sound like the "DDoSer" made the WRONG MOVE, and is now going to have THE LAW after him. lol, nothing's gonna happen to him.

WTF @ the returntoblockland part. you're making stuff up. i wouldn't mind the bad commentary if the stuff you were talking about wasn't complete BS. you should cite where you get this stuff so people can read the actual source instead of your poor interpretation.

you only brought up like one fact in the whole video: minecraft sucks.

why would RTB go off line? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU RTB??!!sorry, rage quit, anyway what is wrong with you??!! (RTB)
