did you ever consider that maybe people do like them and that's why they're popular
I don’t know if I can agree on that. They’re popular because of the hosts, most servers use different weaponry but I hardly ever see a long lasting and/or player filled server with Quake-style weapons. Perhaps yes, I am wrong about classes but classes personally feel like no place for competitive servers on Blockland. Gunplay is weird in Blockland and in general even the simplest of elements in shooters are nonexistent in Blockland. The combination of these stuffty unbalanced weapons combined with classes provides unsatisfying gameplay.
I don’t know if I am being nostalgic but gunplay used to be much different many years ago. The new change of direction of gunplay just sucks. I don’t know if it the community weakening or the popular add-on creators putting new things out but something just sucks about deathmatches or competitive gameplay. Things aren’t as simple, comfortably responsive, or in high quality.
People used to build team deathmatches in a couple days then host them for a week. Now everything needs a thread, add-ons are unoriginal or poor quality — and even getting off topic but the community is full of even more stupid people then I have realized! When many big active and/or contributing players left the community or forums, it just got worse. Like what is this garbage in the previous two replies? General discussion used to have some great discussions and projects.
Neckbeards like the above contribute nothing, create problems, and stick their greasy loving hands in anything they can get a cackle or e-peen boner from. And therefore, leaving their Dorito encrusted fingerprints to stuff and piss in this, what could be, wonderful game.
Excuse my derailment but it has come to my attention how annoying this community has become with the influx of idiots.
My final statement is just make and host anything, just make it fun and welcoming. But hard to master of course.
