i'm gonna be honest here, all cards on the table; this build just sucks outside of the
main area as everything looks like it's just
glued together with no
coherent theme. it's almost as if parts of previous new years servers were just copied over to this one.
the streets are absolutely empty except for the occasional meme pixel art stapled onto the floor, previous new year builds had the occasional build on the side of the road such as a hotdog stand or a manhole leading to a sewer room. while these were tiny details, they were much better than absolute nothing
everything feels too big with no content filling in those spaces, the occasional dud building for decoration is fine, but when most of the buildings are just fake it becomes incredibly obvious.
the build contest is just frustrating, you have no tools to delete or change the print of a brick, meaning your only build tools is ctrl+z, paint can, and brick tool. i tried to build something but i just gave up after realizing i had none of the loving essential tools for building; i asked about this and apparently it's not cool to have build tools for a loving build contest????
look at previous new year builds, they're not massive and spread out spaces as they focus on compressing as much content into a small/medium zone; the main dance/event area of the build should *always* be the focus in one of these builds, but in this one it's off to the side and you spawn nowhere near it.
also, why is there so many loving honor student memes??? why do you need to plug your god damn discord server every few minutes in the chat???
i've been attending every new years event since 2015, and i think i'm gonna pass on this server because it just feels incomplete and not thought out as much as the previous years. the build itself looks very hastily made and carries none of the comedy and charm of the previous years.
