Remember the old shadows that actually matched your character, instead of the weird blob ones we have now? It would be great if we got those back, but on higher settings like 7 and up. I really miss those shadows, and I don't see why everyone should have to stay with the blob ones just because they make the game a bit faster. Some people don't play on toasters, y'know.

Also, another ideal addition would be to have the ability to set individual graphical properties.

Some of the properties we can edit should be:

Shadows
Material Render Distance
Material Texture Quality
Brick Render Distance
UI Texture Quality
SurfaceGUI Render Distance

And so on. Some people really don't give a hoot about materials, but still want to see very far away, so it would be great if we had more liberty in editing our graphics. The original graphics settings would be there, but in addition to the default 1-10 settings, there would be a Custom setting.

Shadows is a minor thing.

Some of you think that graphical changes are just minor, but actually they make a huge difference.

Did anyone not understand the part where they completely murder your computer unless it's enabled on characters only? Also, the shadows would phase through bricks, so if a player was standing on a platform above you, you would see their shadow randomly floating on the brick below.

Omg I remember those back in 2009 (When I made my first account)

But the problem is that Roblox completely changed their shadow system, so I'm sure if Roblox can bring back those effects.

And if it's possible (Without reverting everything) I support this.

It only affects player shadows, no?

Also, the shadow change was recent. It was a few months ago.

Also, another thing. When I mean shadows, I don't mean the ability to disable GlobalShadows. Those are sometimes crucial to gameplay. I simply mean being able to change between blobby player shadows and realistic player shadows.

One more point, as well. The corp.roblox.com website has several screenshots showcasing games on Roblox, but the screenshots are from when Roblox still had realistic player shadows. That sort of sets a false picture of the shadows, so if the screenshot is indeed at max graphics, it would be a bit more accurate.
