I think you all need to understand something. We're not trying to
hide anything, the sake of ambiguity in these screenshots is to keep the thread going while giving little pieces of what the server has to offer. It's not meant to build skepticism or intense expectations. This choice has been decided upon in the past years because the thread would typically be at a standstill up until the event, and that's why we do it. What was posted in the last update was an add-on Kobe has been working on and that will be used. If you don't want to set your expectations so high, then that's entirely fine.That's all for you and we can't change it. We aren't trying to set expectations through the roof, because this a just, ya know, a one day blockland gathering for people to have fun. We don't ask for donations or anything, as it's all out of pocket and that's kind of what bothers me with this. The only thing I think we really seek is a positive response for the months of effort we put forth for trying something new.
Your skepticism is not unjustified through past events, but really, it's not like there isn't an effort to try to improve. The only thing I can say is to have faith in what we're putting forth. We've learned a ton through the years, and I personally feel this server will be a fresh change. There will be "actual" screenshots before the event itself. This isn't an effort to build something up to an event for everyone to be let down by a build. This is to keep a thread moving an active.
heck I guess posting pictures daily is sort of a byproduct for building hype and expectation setting, but the ambiguity set was to sort of discourage that
It's too bad Ike has absolutely no access to the server and can't upload screenshots of the build himself. Hmmm,
Okay I was going to point this out but that was pretty funny
