ROBLOX vs. Blockland Q&A (no, it's not a rant thread)

[goobler402]

And when did you play? Last year? There was about one month where everything was laggy, now, its fine. And you probably went to some nub's place with tons of bricks...

oh and eric.
when lego mmo comes out you need to make another camparison

You will not be able to build freely in the lego mmo.

LIES..

It doesn't get laggy in Roblox until about 7k bricks... Not to mention, our bricks can be any size, not just the set sizes you guys have...

I have never lagged from bricks in Blockland. I know I can go past about 60k bricks without lag. Any build in Blockland with 7k bricks is a medium size, not big.


And no, our CFrames and dynamic brick sizes don't make it laggy... In fact, the brick sizes make it LESS laggy, and the CFrames have no effect... -_-

I laughed so much at this. I cannot reply to an outright lie.

And we don't have little 8-Year-Olds coming in and spamming and advertising... They only act like nubs, which gets them banned pretty quick, like, 10 minutes...

That is true, 8-year-olds consist of most of the player base. I assume the spammers are either older or younger.

In Blockland, large builds are not considered nooby unless they are spammy, which should not arise in Roblox to to their laggy brick stretching.

No he won't. There is no war with Roblox and there will not be war with this lego MMO. The people who like Blockland are not the same people who will like the lego MMO.

I can't believe the subject of graphics even comes up when trying to compare roblox and Blockland.  It doesn't even make sense even if you are just trying to flame. 

I remember that guy who challenged you to get a rocket to fire from the playerCharacter's head was taken aback by the explosion in the .gif you posted.

Does Roblox even use explosion effects like a particle emission system or 3D shape fx or anything? Does it even have fxLights?

They technically do have rocket launcher with a particle effect but it is the worst thing I have ever seen - it is literally some orange fluff balls emitting from a point.  The worst part about it though is the goddamn game play and networking.  It is catastrophically bad.  From the time you click to the time a rocket (keep in mind when I say "rocket" I mean "cube" because there is no model) appears is often over 1 second and then it flies so slowly you can almost catch it by running.  When it hits there is like 2 seconds of synchronization time before the explosion happens.   So shooting a wall with a rocket takes like 5 seconds.  It is not an action game.  To say that you can have a satisfying deathmatch in roblox is simply a lie. 

I have seriously considered making a video about this.  It would bring tons more flaming idiots here but it might be worth it.

They'll saunter over to crap up the place until they get autobanned either way so you might as well. It would nail some doubt into the hard supporters and possibly get the point across with the other majority of the player base. It's pretty safe to assume by now none of them can read text so you'll probably have better luck getting a point across with a vid filled with pretty colors.

Did someone ever make two builds in both games that look exactly the same and do the same things to them (explosions and crap)?

[.::Taboo::.]

The only good memory of Roblox I might have is when my friend blew up a building, paused time about 5 seconds after the explosion, then saved it.
He then challenged everyone he saw to climb the floating bits of wreckage.

Climbing stuff in that game is easy, there is no sliding around at all so you're always stuck one the ground or flying off the map in a spinning ball of plastic.

When I used to play Roblox, there wasn't even a fluff ball. Just a big red sphere.
