Responding to User Feedback, V5

By -

ROBLOX LaptopsEver since we made the request for your ROBLOX “Top Three,” we’ve been combing through the feedback and responding to your most insightful comments and pertinent questions. This week, John Shedletsky, ROBLOX’s Creative Director and Content Lead, elaborates on a variety of topics, including additional sound capabilities, leveling up, GUI development and ROBLOX for 13+ users. Plus, a short tutorial on CFraming. For previous entries in this series, click here.

Sound

SuperSy: Add more sound choices to ROBLOX instead of picking them out of gear. Like the sound of a river, or the sound a fire crackling. Some advanced players can modify the tunes of gears and make this happen. For others, it would be great to have them readily available.

Currently, our users mine ROBLOX assets for sound resources. While it’s not a designed experience, it is an example of our super-passionate community of game developers finding ways to get things done. We have a lot of ideas for adding better sound support to ROBLOX Studio; I expect to see some of them incorporated this year.

Volume IconCataphract: Add more parameters for sounds, e.g. minimum and maximum hearing distance. It would be nice if I could tweak sounds to match my preferences more. For example, if I have a helicopter engine sound playing, I want it to be heard from very far away. Also it’d be nice if there were more sounds, such as a variety of vehicle engine noises for race cars, trucks, motorbikes and tanks.

Sound catalog/library: yes. More parameters on sound objects: yes. Once we have shipped ROBLOX Studio 2.0, we can think about these things.

Graphic User Interfaces

ChocCookieRaider: Drag-and-drop GUI maker. Instead of setting the position and size through the properties, you could make it so it is drag and drop. It would make it much easier for new players to add GUIs to their game. You would still have to script the GUIs, but this would make it easier to resize and place the frames and buttons.

I couldn’t agree more. A long, long time ago, I programmed in QBASIC. After I exhausted the available memory I could allocate, I switched to Visual Basic. Visual Basic (and now Visual Studio) has a really sweet GUI editor that made it a snap to create good-looking user interfaces and easily tie them to code. If we added a similar feature to ROBLOX Studio, designing GUIs would be much more fun.

Sorcus has been talking about hacking together a plugin that does this. Whether it is feasible today in Lua or we need to add more formal support in the ROBLOX engine is a question we have yet to answer.

Level Upquintonl: Level-Up System. A level-up system would make ROBLOX cooler and more exciting. You could get rewards for leveling up; e.g., 50 Robux or Tix for becoming a Builder.

I’ve always been struck by the idea of levels and their power. Even though it’s been four years since Clockwork interned here, I think a fair number of ROBLOXians know what their “Clockwork level” is.

ROBLOX has a system of social advancement and recognition for achievements, like building awesome games and assets. I’m not sure that a leveling system would have a positive impact on this system. We would hate to hit an achievement level-cap and discourage anyone from progressing further on their projects.

CFraming

Larry5444: Simplified Functions for adjusting CFrames. Although CFraming is simple as it is, I often find that I lose the orientation of the object. Therein, I have to waste time finding what directions X, Y and Z are, as well as which way a Positive or Negative value will move them.

Manipulating objects in 3D requires a fair understanding of Linear Algebra, which is sadly not taught in most schools until college. There are a couple of tricks that all game programmers know that you can easily pick up.

For instance, if you are rotating an object, you often don’t care what the absolute CFrame is in world coordinates. You just want to rotate an object 5 degrees about an axis (to make a spiral staircase, for example). In this case, you can just multiply your object’s CFrame by a 5 degree rotation matrix. In Lua this looks like:

myPart.CFrame = myPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 5 * .0174532925, 0)

This rotates your part 5 degrees around the Y axis (spinning it like a top). CFrame.Angles takes radians for arguments, so you multiply the number of degrees by .0174532925 to get radians.

If you find in your code that keeping track of which direction the global axes are (X,Y,Z) is becoming complicated, usually there is a better programming solution that performs the rotations in relative coordinates – i.e., with respect to the parts CFrame and CFrame.lookVector.

Account Names

WolfTiger: Name changing. I made my account when I was 13. I’m 16 now and I think my name is a bit infantile. Also, I was thinking the other day, the physics work well. Really well. Why not let the players make them do different things without having any scripting knowledge? We could have different humanoid values that caused the physics for the individual to work differently!

There have been a ton of requests for a name-changing feature. It’s not something we would want to let users do every day (it would become impossible to keep track of who is who), but it could be justified in limited circumstances.

With respect to custom physics, I believe this is best handled with Lua code rather than us hard-coding many specific scenarios into the engine. Our goal as developers is to build the leanest, most elegant, fastest engine for doing generic operations. This gives our community of game developers freedom to manipulate it as they see fit.

ROBLOX Car

Vehicle Physics

SundownMKII: Fix vehicle-based physics. Sure, I love making my Benz wheelie, and I’d like to keep it that way. However, the problem is that cars using VehicleSeats don’t really do well in the world of Roblox physics unless you drive with a Hopperbin click-and-go tool in a seat (or use something complex, like Wingman8 did). Many of us like to make racing games with good looking cars, but the car-based physics kind of ruin it.

This is actually a confluence of three different problems:

1) All of our vehicles steer like tanks do – we don’t have rack-and-pinion steering, where the front wheels of the car rotate to point in the direction that you would like to go

2) Our hinge/motor joints are too springy to build a robust rack-and-pinion system

3) Even if you did build a rack-and-pinion system, you would have to write custom code in order to be able to control it

The great news is that we are actively working on #2, which is the key to everything. In fact, I saw some videos in my inbox this week demonstrating some very stable motor/hinge joints. Our lead physics engineer, Kevin He, is currently developing these.

13+ ROBLOX Users

Vinya: More user-friendliness towards older ROBLOXians. 13+ users should be able to lock their games from non-13+ users, and be allowed to have more mature aspects to games.

The team has talked about content-rating systems, where you could publish a game as 13+ and 13+ games would have less stringent moderation standards. We are also investigating ways to allow users more control over their communities and social circles in ROBLOX – we might, for instance, allow groups to own and moderate their own forums. I think these things would go a long way toward making ROBLOX more hospitable for older players.

    • Ugh why is roblox trying to get worse??? If they want money they’re gonna have to do what the customers want!!! Like MC. At least they’re a good company. MC listens to the customers and adds things to the game and doesn’t change the shapes of cubes. Roblox needs to do what their customers want or we’ll quit and they’ll have no buisness and end up shutting down.

  2. I agree with mature games and i agree with name changing,my name sucks.
    And by the way,about some peoples,they become dishonest and suddently write their fake age,that’s a way how peoples talks,there should be a way to find if somebody is dishonest or honest for the age.

  4. With the whole sound thing, I kinda thought it would be cool if we could like, insert our own sounds if we like, so we could add some speaking in with an RPG character or something like that. Some people are slower readers and this might help them. Just a though/suggestion.
    iLiminate

  5. to be honest, i don’t like the idea of leveling up. i joined roblox mainly because it seemed to be a good way to express my creativity. nowadays, i think roblox has focused too much on social gaming, and build mode has actually become sort of a thing where you can only really delete parts. building is annoying with the stamper tool, and the insert function is needed in order to build well. to be honest, it was much easier to build with the tools from 2010, movebrick, copy, delete, deletebrick, deletemodel, movemodel, paint, and insert. it’s almost impossible to move individual bricks in a model nowadays without studio.

    • The idea of leveling up is horrible! IT would get people more haters and more people calling others “noobs” because if their level. That would be just rude to NBCers

  6. There should be where you can cut bricks, making it easier for cframers, and also easier to make wedges, etc allowing for ramps, carved out circles, or even art. It would allow more people to express creativity and be much more easier for the builders out there.

  7. Please, allow the level up system, it would be great for non-bc members to get robux. Also an idea for the name changeing, allow people to chnage their name once a month/3 months or something like that. These are great ideas and will make roblox even more fun for kids of these ages. The rating system for games is also very great. I hope to see changes in this direction. I’ve also wished to change my name for a lifetime by now. Please, allow it all. It’s great!!

  8. Will i think that the 13+ is a good idea:)
    Maybe 13+ can be more mature and much more better to older players like myself

  10. @Me, Maybe at the very least, games with seperate servers for 13+, and 12-, that way nobody would miss out on a game because of age!

  11. I am all for the 13+ Thing.. It is kind of unfair, but it gets pretty annoying trying to play a game with someone who only uses menu chats. It would be nice for all the people complaining about how a ton of ’4th graders’ joined, to get to play games like before all of the younger people joined. (Plus, the tons of people that have quit for this reason, may come back, or people that are going to quit reconsider.) :D

  12. Yes, finally! An upgrade to the vehicle physics….This’ll help me make my bus so much better.

    • No……………. Never. I literally facpalmed when I read the vehicle. Who really cares?????

  13. I am also entirely in support for the 13+ thing, while I agree it has problems still, I cannot stress how annoying it is for a 13+ year old trying to play a game regarded as a ‘kiddys’ game.

  14. better hinges, YES! The springy hinges are so annoying! As for name changing, users get a one-time name change than have to pay for more name changes. To fix the confusion, under the players name on their profile ‘Formerly:[Previous Name]‘ could be written under it in slightly smaller writing, and the same for when someone mouses of a character on the leader board.

    • Although the 1 time idea is good, paying to change more means one can continue to change their name if they do have the money for it. Seeing that Roblox has such a large community, it would be rather difficult to keep track of all the players in the community if they constantly change their usernames. Maybe every 6 moths or so would do, but to pay will lead to more confusion in the Robloxia community.

  15. Btw my Opinion……….I don’t like the “Minecraft” kinda’ve terrain its too Well…Minecraft… I liked the old ROBLOX where everything was plastic…and studs and the older tools the Health is better though and i like the backpack feature…;)Just tryin’ to help and to make a difference…..And to start my Opinion…

  16. Yes add the leveling feature please but the 13+ feature seems kinda…How do i put it…Well, i think alot of younger players would quit because of all the games being closed to them.Now, abbout the name changing it should have a list at there profile somewhere showing all their names or there first name…and name changing should be there this is my username for ROBLOX and i made it when i was 9, I’m 11 I’m thinking more like ShadowViper or SzarXtreme or something not so much as infantile as Zombie23088…And it should be Monthly or something along those lines…More sounds all I have to say to that is…..Definitley.

    • I love the 13+ idea! Then we could finally get away from “Wanna be freinds?” and “To the batcave!” every 6 seconds, but leveling is BAD! How about every 6 months, every player, payed or not, gets 50 robux? A loyalty system!

  17. I’d also like to be able to link more than one button to a timer, a button to more than one thing, and airlock doors to more than one thing.

  18. I’ve sent some suggestions to Tara, but basically, I think the stamper tool, speciffically High Scalability, House, Landscape, Configurable Parts, and to a lesser extent Space and Castle, are very under-developed. They really need more parts.
    Also, I’d like to have matching hats and packages for all things related to Redcliff, Splintered Sky, Seventh Sanctum (if you ever make any for it,) Azurewrath, Crimsonwrath, Korblox, Dominus/Empyrean knights, and posiblly robots. Sorry Tara. D:

  20. Don’t do the 13+ thing. Many of us know that little children just say they are over 13 so they can chat. Also, I don’t remember the sound being high up on the list, as I usually play with no sound (the noises are rather annoying). The graphic user interface sounds nice, but they should still allow the creator to lock GUIs. Leveling up would be bad for those is old accounts, as they would have lots of wipeouts. The CFraming sounds nice, but it’s always been a challenge to CFrame a lot with a script. As a 2009 joiner, I agree that the name change sounds good as well. However, I dislike the new physics, it seems overly exagerated. But, I still wish for Roblox on Linux based operating systems (even though I knew it wouldn’t happen).

    • They are going mean on 13- users (like me)kids lie about their age,it’s best if they remove privacy mode.

  23. I think the 13+ thing is a good idea. i have a neghbor who is playing rbx and is playing war games. he is 8 and i think that maby he should be playing age approite games

  24. How about a name system like Twitter? Where you have a Pernemant name, and a username which you can change. You can search for any of the user’s name. Eg
    Username: John.Doe
    Perm Name: JohnDoe1
    Can only change his username

    • Brilliant! A changeable user name, but a permanent name in which a user will have to log in with, very smart idea for this user name changing. Seeing as Roblox has such a large community, and still growing, this would make the user name changing process even easier.

  25. Obviously, EVERYTHING on ROBLOX is 17+. Ever seen what exploiters do? I bet every single one of you has seen a exploiter put inappropriate meshes on people/change the team names to cussing…

  26. I completely agree with Cataphract,plus I have an idea. You should put on a sound catalog in vehicle seats so player can choose how the vehicle startup,driving(fast,medium,slow) and stop will sound.

  27. I agree with the name changing option. Above the Primary Group picture on a user’s profile, there should be a message saying {Previously known as: {OldUsername)}, and you can only change your name once every year. As long as I’m throwing together random bits from previous comments, the ban idea would work as well. Previously banned players cannot change their name for, what, 2-3 years then? And that’s only if they aren’t banned in between that time. On the subject of age restrictions: I disagree. Younger players should not be held back as so, and there is no reason for ROBLOX to be filled with violence and swearing. If you want age restrictions, make an identical ROBLOX where the user must have a valid parental signature (Written through a special email option on a tablet) as well as valid parent e-mail address, and so on. Atfter that point, R2 would be 13+. The best part is, we still have an unrestricted normal ROBLOX for everybody to use and have fun with! Of course, you would need to raise the prices of Builders Club memberships, or add a new (More expensive) type to both. The rest is perfectly fine! ~coolduderadar56, a loyal member since 2008 (On my first account, 4nothing)

  28. I think that the name changing idea is a great idea. Just make it be like 100 robux.

    Also i think that the group name changing should be yearly and have unlimited ranks.

  29. Yes name changing woud be nice, but what about proof your still your first name guy?
    Maybye a “Certificate” badge called: Changed name,
    That maybye could lead to a small link of page name history? Users could be givin this page when they create there account, but maybye only givin the badge that links to there name history. Another thing that could be done is maybye a a line saying: Past names: Ext, next to the place showing your Kos, Profile veiews, ext? Other then that, it still might be downright confusing. What if you didnt know your friend changed there name yet, and the join a game with you saying there your past friend? Then for proof that your not a imposter, youll have to check, even though there actions might be good proof as well. What I might think is maybye an option on “Options” Saying names, only changing your name above your head. This will help in roleplays, but inpostering might get annoying, if you dress as the guy and change the name above your head. a soulution for this could be clicking them shows you there real name. Maybye it can say your fake ingame name next to your real name in () Example:

    Sam(abc327):Hi, do you know were tim went?

    • Why not? Because you’re an immature child who wants to see blood and guts?

  32. A while back I remember hearing that you guys were planning to release a new object. If you were to place GUI’s in that object, it would overlay the current intro GUI (brick counter). I’m just wondering where the progress on said object is.

    When will the terrain water flow? i.e Flow down a hill, not stay in a cubed cell.

    In a video on Roblox’s Youtube channel showcasing the terrain water, their were also ropes demonstrated. Will ropes in in a near update?

  33. my name is Gohan4eva, i have an alt account named NashRock,i made NashRock cuz i like it,but Gohan4eva has cooler stuff + TBC,Name changing would be great, i would change my name back to NashROck ;D………….also they should send a message to all the player’s friends once they change their name, like “Gohan4eva changed his name to (name you want to pick). and the request would be deniyed if someone already has that name

  34. Cool ideas guys,but I really don’t see 13+ is a good idea,for 1)Younger players would miss out,like me 2)In regular games we still have blood,so whats really more mature then blood?Dating,but again,I don’t think users would like the aspect of that…if you let 13+ users say curse words in 13+ games,why would that be fair?But everything else is fine,and about name changing I would like that.*brohoof*

    • Violence, The could add a bloodier aspect to 13+ games and allow cussing. If a little kid joins and sees a word it’s their fault, Not RoBlox INC.

  35. I think having name changing is a GREAT idea. My name is moshipenguins101, but I made that when I liked Moshi Monsters. Now I think it totally SUCKS. But, Shedletsky’s point is also right, you can’t have people changing their name every 5 seconds. Maybe you could make it so you could only change your name once every Month.

    • Agreed,I made this name when I was seven,now I’m nine and want my name to be MetalScizor,make it like a monthly thing.

    • HEY! That’s exactly the time I was thinking! But I still don’t like the change name feature. I do like the rating feature. It sounds pretty cool. But, people may be kicked out of group places. Because they’re too young :/

      • I keep posting the name changing idea in Suggestions and Ideas!
        But to make it easier to keep track of (ROBLOX, please read this)
        I added this to the idea:
        If a user changes their username, all their friends will get a message saying “Your friend (OldUsernameHere) changed their username to (NewUsernameHere).
        Also, it would cost a little bit of R$ and/or tix to change your username.

        Agreed?

    • I was thinking that too. RuneScape has a monthly name change feature, and it works pretty well. They use an icon that when you mouse over it shows the user’s previous name. Perhaps ROBLOX could use a similar system.

      Current user: blablabla10
      Desired user: Ratiasu/Ratiosu

    • I think it would be better for once a YEAR. I think this because, you still would have mass name changing, with one name change per year you can lose and gain certain interests… There for you could change your name to a topic you like…
      ~Matthew4488

  36. I don’t think better features for 13+ users is exactly a great idea because if 13+ users make violence related games some kids (like me) will miss out. Some kids like violence games even if they are under 11. I like violence games, but I am only 9. And my friend, coolplasmabomb, likes them too.
    ~Moshipenguins101, the Robloxian who tells the Truth (LOL just a joke, nearly everybody does)

    • R18 & R16 video games are bad enough, but why bring those age ratings into Roblox??? All the younger users will quit and it will be full of hackers (most younger users don’t know how to hack), spammers, and GUESTS will get better privelages than normal Robloxians seeing as they can’t determine their age!

      • I thought ROBLOX was a kids site, so whats up with the 13+ games?
        Also, I like hanging around 9 year olds – they are nicer than most 17 year olds that roam ROBLOX.

  38. 10 Things needed in roblox
    1) ANOTHER BC. WOULD BE AWSOME. MAKES MORE PLAYERS
    2) A box in roblox studio to search for scripts
    3) more ammounts of paying. like bc. 100. tbc. 300.obc. 500
    4) put a hacker scanner in every game. makes roblox more friendly
    5) Makeing groups cheaper. like 50 robux
    6) moderate commets BEFORE published
    7) do sale drops every 2 months. (needed)
    8) refund when you delete hats,gear, etc
    9) you know the ; what am i doing ; sign up on the screen. make it a chat bubble above your roblox head. would be cool
    10) more faces!
    Bye
    -jrcorr

    • 1. There are ENOUGH BC already.
      2. Okay?
      3. -_-
      4. The admins can’t fix exploits, scripters can however.
      5. Sure, why not?
      6. Would reduce spam but annoy some.
      7. YEAH!
      8. Couldnt agree better!
      9. Wha-?
      10. And make them cheap!

      • 1: No.
        2: Um…no.
        3: They get enough, if you buy BC one month you get at least 450 RoBux, NOt to mention the 100 R$ sin up or the 400 referance.

        4: Can’t, Every update would create bugs which can be hacked/exploited. So if you want no updates…

        5: Nope, 100 is a good price. you can easily make a base enough.

        6: No.

        7: Lol no…You need a reason, Like black Friday.

        8: Yeah.
        9: What?
        10: Yeah…Just..Face priced, At least 10 RoBux at most 2K. Don’t put the epic face limited.

      • The admins CAN fix exploits, and actually scripters most of the time can’t. Exploiters usually take advantage of having a higher security context for their scripts which allows them to change properties that you wouldn’t normally be able to change. When it comes down to it, exploit scripts can dominate normal scripts easily. Only the admins of roblox can patch exploits.

  39. I would still like the ability to buy an extra place slot with ROBUX because some family’s cannot afford builders club but the person who owns the account are really good at building and would like to have more places to build fun and inspiring games.

  40. I like the leveling up feature. it could provide nbcer’s a way to get robux. And you should be able to get shirts with badges , unlock weapons, packages.

  41. If there’s one thing that Roblox could really, really have that would be amazing, is if we could have user-made music and be able to upload music made using FL Studio, GarageBand, or any other music making program. ROBLOX has many, many great adventure games out there that could use their own fitting music to spice themselves up and not feel boring.

    • Player’s had the ability to upload custom sound’s, and mesh’s until late 2010. They removed these features because of inappropriate. Penilized so many, for a few player’s misusing the privilege

      • It wouldn’t be THAT hard for people to moderate it though. They would just have to make some sort of sound filter that blocks out swear words and such.

      • I remember hearing that you guys were going to add a new GUI object. That when you place other GUI objects into it, it overlaps the default place loading (counting parts, and connectors) screen, and we can create our own. If this is true, will we be seeing this being implemented in the near future.

        When will terrain water flow, instead of staying in a cube cell. i.e flow down a hill?

        In a video demonstrating water on Roblox’s Youtube channel, you also have ropes. Will these be in-game soon?

    • Yes I agree, although you get so many users that have not put their real age, because they found out that they can talk in games if they change their age to over 13. However, this will be a really good idea.

  44. It’s funny because these “User feedback” posts aren’t actually user feedback.

    These are user suggestion posts, and only the ones that the staff ‘likes’. Feedback is when the userbase responds to an update that has already occurred.

    • 100% aggred,roblox TV ad was false advertising,it said it was free,but the truth is,it’s not free roblox eat some ????

      • This is an advertising strategy. They offer the game for free, only to a point. Then you have to pay for extra privileges. It’s free to play.

      • Its free to join roblox. but you have to pay for bc. 2cnd of all if theres no bc. roblox will lose money. and will be shut down. there many reasons why they need money. and its only 5$ a month. in england thats like 3 pounds

  46. Or you could use math.rad(#) in place of the variable which instantly converts said # to radians.

  47. I only simply wish that if you were to make V4 bodies, make it have more joints for animation. Ofcourse I guess that would feel kind of unfair to Non-BCers(I’m one of ‘em, but I don’t get why they get so worked up) but it would give game creators more freedom when animating their stuff on roblox. Maybe.

  49. Oh Make a “Change group name” option so you v\can change your group name if you spelled somthing wrong. and you can only change it each week

  50. Excuse me, I would consider myself a “little kid” as I’m not a teen yet, and I don’t see what’s wrong about people’s age. Too many times have I heard “I’m tired of little kids running around Roblox”. I mean, some people say “Don’t judge a book by their cover” but they judge them by their age? I really thought Roblox was a sight for all ages, but the community is making me think otherwise. (By the way, yes, this was actually typed by a young kid.)

    • I’m a kid too,I hate privacy mode,not letting me do anything,as I cant play games,I will quit roblox if you do the 13+ thing
      Too many kids lie about their age example:if a kid was 5 years old they may say their age is 13

  51. In order to reduce lag we could reduce the amount of bricks we use to build places.

    We need more shapes, not meshes. Circles, Ovals, Trapezoids, Hollow Circles, Arced Walls (like semi-hollow circles, but with adjustable lengths), and Bendable Bricks, would all be wonderful to build with and easier.

    I want this feature because I was going to unleash a new city that I have saved to my computer, but it seems like there’s too much lag to even walk in a straight line.

  52. I changed my birthday to my real age (Slightly under 13.) and it still says i’m 13+ and lets me chat.

  53. When will you be optimizing frames, so we can have more frames with less lag?

    I’ve heard that Sorcus has been working on GUI rotation. Is there a estimation on when we can see this in game?

  54. The name changing would be a bad idea. For instance if I changed my name to “Player” then I would have admin at a lot of games thanks to Person299′s Admin script, unless you are able to keep the in-game scripts from detecting our new names. Also, If I followed people into a game where we had the same names people might not be able to tell who is who. I could become SONICTHEHEDHOGXX and pretend I’m the owner of FEAR. I guess to fix this you could make your name something like XFire’s Nickname where it has the nickname and also the original username under it.

    • I’m assuming you couldn’t change your name to a currently occupied name.

  55. Everything in ROBLOX is meant for kids. Everyone who is older than 13 is generally laughed at for playing such a “little kid game.” I am laughed at from my oldest brother who calls it “Roadblocks” to be funny… Plus, 13+ games would be a pain for Moderators to check, or if it would be an option that is set by the creator, then fun games might only be allowed to be played by older people… ROBLOX Blood, is nothing but blocks… Anyone who says Roblox is at all creepy, scary, or mature, does not know what they are talking about, or really have no clue what is evil and what is good….

  56. To me, this still isn’t as important as fixing the dll hack, as well as others.

    • To fix the .dll hack look up Kohltastrophe in players. He has made the only anti exploit that cant be bypassed… Yet. :3

      • I also know another Anti-DLL Script that works. It was made by ImRareJack50.

  57. Duudde… The 13+ thing is a brilliant idea! I SOOO want it to be released! I hate being restricted to certain things (DESTROY ALL CENSORSHIP!!)

  59. I think these ideas seem pretty neat. And I agree with agr0n about the 13+ thing. ROBLOX players can now change their ages so a younger kid could go into a 13+ game by simply changing their age and, let’s say the 13+ game has more bloody or “scary” content, and the kid gets frightened by it and tells his parents. That could end up making some parents upset with the updates and make their child stop playing ROBLOX. But otherwise, these ideas seem really neat!

    • Little kids actually cannot change their age unless it was over 13 to begin with. Otherwise they have to click the option that sends an e-mail to the parent of the account to change the name.

  60. @Name Changing

    Why can’t you have something like, you can only change your name once a year, or more or so.

    • I completely agree with you. Also, if the person has been banned before, he/she cannot change her name.

  61. AWESOME IDEA!!!! A special shirt where you can select badges you have to wear, and they can either cover your entire charecter (minus the head) or have just a few like military awards.

  62. The 13+ only games are AWSOME. I can finally make T for Teen games :D

    • I MAY be able to create T for Teen games if they do the 13+ only game thingy. Because the little kids that think they know everything are getting really annoying.

      • The 13+ rating game idea won’t work for the following reasons:

        People can lie about their age and change it.

        Everybody that is 13 could make a violence related game and not allow players that are below 13 to play.
        Little kids might not even like ROBLOX with the limited amount of games they can play. Which may result in them leaving ROBLOX which in the future will result in less kids, which would result in hardly any people buying builders club, and the site will eventually go down, or change completely into a site that has violence related games that are scary for kids and addictive. Think I’ve gone into too much detail already…This won’t work unless, there is a different age, I think 10 is a suitable age, this my opinion. It will also work if the ROBLOX moderators, set what game should deserve what rating. Paintball! by daxter33 is great, to see that get a 13+ rating for someone I know, would be a disapointment. This is all my opinion, please don’t be offended by anything I have posted. :)

      • 13+ Will be an great idea…now you can stay away form”SdfgPrfyAdfrM”S.P.A.M. AND N.O.O.B.S.In some ways I disagree.And thats cause of…OnlineDating…13+ servers have…well people who….are 13 or older….and that means onece they get like around like 15 or 17…there look for that speacial person….So proboly they found there selfs on roblox,share adresses..and you know….So they just make an 13+ serer for them to go in and share information about there selfs….So..Manly if there is no…noobs or so..then couldn’t they proboly could notice..so manly..they dont get bandded but they still are doing a bad thing….

  64. The +13 won’t work people can change their age anytime with the account feature and most people already say they are 13 so that they can talk without safechat. Also for the sound idea just let us import our own sounds and it could be report only moderation so that cuss words could be avoided. §

  65. Bring back roblox ’08. It was exploit-free fun epic had awesome community friendly users. Now, Roblox is a UN-Friendly Community and users and there’s thousands of spam,phishing in comments, in ’08 there was not as much spam and barley any phishers, And More hacks an exploits like dll injection. In 08 not much people hacked/Exploited. Now roblox is just LAME, and infact some people are quiting roblox cause of terrible community There is today. Bring back old roblox.

    • I am going to go to roblox’s defense here. First off, none of this is really their fault (maybe the exploit issue is partly their fault; exploits take advantage of bugs). About the exploits, hackers simply took a while to learn how to make these exploits for roblox; the foundations for these exploits were probably there in 2008. Third, your argument about the community bein un-friendly can be explained in these terms. Lets say %5 of the community is unfriendly or hacks. If there was only 100 folks, there is only 5 bad people. If there is like 5 MILLION, there is quite a birt more hackers and jerks. And roblox has been under a population boom lately. So the problem is simply because of roblox’s success as a gaming platform. So shut up. Roblox is getting better with every update :).

  66. I’d say the name-changing idea would work okay, but only if you could only change it once, or, say, once every year or two. And maybe on your profile it could say “Previously [username]” somewhere.

  67. i agree to all of it people need more sounds and better stuff and the -13 thing i agree with to becuse if you think about it a lot of noobs can be well….annoying…..and it could have content(like blood) that -13 year olds parents don’t like so i agree with this thing all the way

    • People could change their age to whatever they want.
      It’s not like people ever lie.

  68. The updates I read seem pretty darned cool.
    But what about moderation?
    I drew a simple picture of a giraffe and it was deleted.
    What’s up with that?

  69. Fix that maddening glitch where your character goes into ragdoll mode and goes flying if you jump while standing on a terrain wedge and up against the side of a terrain block. It makes cimbing terrain mountains rediculously difficult.

  70. Like they have a system on games tha filters out all of the bad chat and stuff.
