Also big 🖕 to all the toxic, complaining, doomposting PvPers in this community. I know most of the people I'm talking about probably won't read this (because they tend to not read things and then complain about stuff out of their own ignorance) but you know who you are.
I despise this portion of the community and frankly I would remove PvP entirely if it wouldn't kill the game, but Roblox games like this can't survive without PvP so it has to have it. It's astounding how much more toxic the Roblox community is nowadays compared to years ago, even when I spend a week doing community balance changes there are still people complaining about some small insignificant thing that will just be fixed in a hotfix or whatever.
I barely even interact with the community anymore due to how toxic Roblox has gotten. Even youtubers make entire videos spreading false information or assumptions on topics they are completely ignorant about.
Here's the truth: this game will NEVER have combat focused updates and the fact that there is more than a weeks worth of balancing changes to do every update is ridiculous and takes away from new content the game could be getting, and is simply unrealistic to be expected to be 100% done every single update. I would rather work on aspects of the game that everyone likes rather than weird behaviors that don't affect 90% of the playerbase, and yet we hear "this game is doomed" whenever the most insignificant things on the balance doc are skipped. If you don't like the fact the game is not getting combat focused updates then leave, the game would be a better place without these toxic people
And as for the "testers bad! I would be a way better tester!" people, no you would not. Even if the game had 300 active testers, there would still be bugs that make it into each update and you would still complain. There is simply no way to catch every single bug before every update, and this doesn't even matter considering the actual game breaking ones are fixed less than a week after updates anyways.
I don't owe anyone anything, and you playing my game doesn't entitle you to anything either. I do enough of the balance doc every update to make sure the game is stable and yet every single update, without fail, there are entire channels of people complaining and crying to the point of the public balance discord's general chat having to be closed down.
No matter how much you complain I am not changing my update routine to appease you because I despise players like you. I already do more for these players in each update than I would like to.

Anyway, sorry for the rant especially if it didn't concern you, but these are my thoughts that I've been keeping to myself for about the past year. I will be adding those new ideas I mentioned last week to the Trello tomorrow finally since I didn't get a chance to yet as I was busy doing balance changes. I'm super excited to start the next update especially with some of the smaller things that are planned like VFX improvements, and I think a lot of people will really love the building system.
