So, the "Festive Gift of Impossibility" includes the "Bandit" badge as a requirement to receive the gift.

Link: http://www.roblox.com/Festive-Gift-of-Impossibility-item?id=137716962

I'm going to talk about the ridiculous amount of indirect hate mail I've been getting as a result of Roblox's decision to choose this badge to be a part of the gift's requirements.


-ROBLOX CHOSE THE BADGE

First of all, let me start by saying that the Bandit badge was not what I suggested they choose. I suggested the "Wanderer" badge, mostly because it didn't involve killing players, but also made up for the difficulty by requiring more time, and many zombie kills. Obviously that wasn't a good choice on my part! The Survivor badge would have been better in my opinion.

But Roblox decided to go with Bandit. Do you know why? Because over 54,000 players have earned the bandit badge. That's 54,000 people who have spent an average of two hours (sometimes much more) to earn this badge. Roblox made the right decision here. The Bandit badge is statistically more than twice as commonly earned by players than ALL of the survival-classed badges combined.


-APOCALYPSE RISING HAS PROBLEMS

As soon as a player spends a lot of time attempting to earn the Bandit badge, and fails, sometimes they resort to blaming the game for its flaws. Who doesn't?

Did you know Apoc has its own space program? Cars can fly. And they do this a lot. They also like to hide in the ground from their abusive owners. The combat tagging system is not perfect. The combat logging system is not perfect. The spawning system is not perfect. The Data Persistence is not perfect. The Inventory fails with latency. The Guns fail with latency. The Physics fail all the time. (cars) Zombie detection can fail server-wide. Loot spawning can fail server-wide. And to top it all off, the game is plagued by exploiters and cheeky hackers.

This is a completely legitimate concern, the game has some problems. Sometimes these problems get in the way of you earning a Roblox gift. It's inevitable. And I apologize for your frustrations. Unfortunately you will have to push through the issues to get what you want.


-APOCALYPSE RISING IS A DISGUSTING, UNBALANCED, HEAPING PILE OF DEMON SOD

Then there are those of you who actually want to stab my eyes out, because of this game that exists for the sole purpose of rustling your jimmies so hard that it possessed you to spread your hatred across the internet.

Believe it or not, I didn't design Apocalypse Rising to be a rustler of jimmies. But what bothers me is how many frustrated players aren't blaming the issues with the game, but rather just blaming everything about the game. I've heard players insisting that the game is unbalanced, that the map is too big, and that the combat system is the worst they've ever seen.

But instead of getting upset, and feeling my own jimmies rustling as I read about these flaws with the game, I look for solutions. In all of the anger that I've read that was brought up because everyone is trying to get the Bandit badge, I have never found anyone talk about WHY the game is "inherently" bad. I want solutions! If you guys are seeing problems with the core gameplay, then SAY SOMETHING that can actually HELP us improve the game.

You don't think we care? Have you played the first version of Apocalypse Rising? We've been improving the game for over a year and a half now, and if you think there are serious issues with the core concepts of the game, then I would like to hear your thoughts. (So long as they aren't uncontrolled rage)


For those of you still working to get the Bandit badge, good luck.

an easy rebuttal for all of these whiners is to suggest to them to try developing a game of similar magnitude on their own

pro tip: they can't

My biggest problem with getting the badge is, I can't find anyone to kill!

I've survived 3 days, have good loot but just can't kill anyone because there's not enough players, or they're all hiding somewhere. :'(

I've played this game for 2 days with breaks to lunch and toilet, etc, but I still haven't earnt it.

It would be easier to kill 30 zombies and survive 3 days.

For those of you complaining. This game is amazing. Why don't YOU try building a game like this without free models and see how it goes.
