I love how Roblox has been improving the user interface in recent years. They've been eliminating as much gray space on-screen as possible. Making it as simplistic as possible. Now it's the complete opposite. The drastic change occurred overnight; I woke up to a rude surprise.

The chat, menu buttons, and leaderboard are now merged into one grey uncomfortable looking tightly packed blob. There is a huge gray banner running across the top of the game player. The 'blob' does not look nice with GUIs other users have created. And to top it all off, the tool buttons are uncomfortably close to the bottom of the screen.

In the maximized window state, Roblox has effectively cut my viewing area from 1320x768 pixels straight down to something like 1280x768, while not adding more bells and whistles to the game in any way, shape, or form. How are we supposed to benefit from this? We don't.

Now, the chat. The chat has been at the BOTTOM for 9 YEARS. Does it really need to be moved directly below the chat? Did it cause any harm?

It needs to be reverted. I don't care what WNTS says; it needs to be brought back to its previous state.

TL;DR version: The new user interface cuts down on viewing space and I fail to see how it is beneficial.

This is the first person I've seen who approves of the recent layout updates. I can see even he hates this new update. Ya see roblox? No one likes this update!

Maybe because you joined two days ago, you'd think that.

If it's not going to be at the bottom, atleast still make it at the top. It doesn't go in the middle.

How could you not have gotten used to it, especially since you're a '10er?

I was. Unfortunately, that account is no more.

I don't mind having the chat bar moved to where the chat is, that seems at least somewhat logical. What I don't like is the fact that everything else was shoved into an obnoxious gray stripe at the top of the screen which effectively ruins all full screen GUIs.

The health bar does, too. I'd like to know who thought it would be a good idea to put it a tiny health bar on the top right-hand corner of the screen.

If you try to look at it while you're fighting, you'll look back and notice you already got killed about ten minutes ago.

I've considerd leaving roblox over this update, Not joking.

I've been considdering moving over to unity for some time, Learn C + + Ect and make my own games that is not branded ROBLOX and have no affiliation with this 'Corporation', Of course I probably will delay this for longer and longer until its well, 'Not normal' to play roblox as I get older.

I mean its nice and all but this update is not. Like my GUI's that I've created over the many years with ups and downs are all basicaly ruined not an over reaction, when I go to check my spelling or what ever in the chat Its not there Instead its in prime real estate for players gui's so overlapping ect is bound to happen.

Put the chat back at the bottom, Menu button should be deleted or allow devs to remove it or whatever, I would be happy with it all being reverted.

Also I do not give two about WINTS we should be able to speak out about these new updates.

I read this thread and I had no idea what you were talking about, I was getting ready to type up an hour long lecture on why this thread is spam when I thought, Maybe there was an update. I noticed that there was an update and when ROBLOX was finally launched, it happened.

I find the update rather attractive, I always thought the updated leaderboard seemed out of place and distinct when it's integrated with the rest of the client. This fixes absolutely everything. This update DID destroy some of my GUIS and scripts that I spent A LOT of time coding on my own but it can still be fixed. Besides, with the amount of custom chat GUI's in games the update isn't very evident. With more time I believe you can adapt and learn to like it.

I'm actually thinking of quitting roblox, no joke.

For the past 2 years I have been on the forums and playing roblox normally. And what I have got is trolls, hate, spam, And ODer's Telling me To snap. I've had enough. Roblox's updates Is too far as well. Commands? New spot for chat box? Its been at the bottom for 9 years! Nobody Helps on the forums anymore. Whenever I post something like this I always get "See you tomorrow."
The games are filled with obby's, misleading games, FREE ROBUX place's, Comments are filled with people asking to join their game for free robux and admin and spam.

The most Unbelievable part about roblox is the myths That go around. GO AHEAD HUNT THEM. They always go "IM A MYTH FEAR ME!!!
Your wasting your time, its a bunch of kids sitting near a computer.

And Shall I say the online Daters?
Whenever you go to their game and they are "dating" Someone, And you tell them to stop, they tell you to scram, I can OD if I want.

War group ads Make them think they are Strong, its a group.

See? Roblox is bad enough, I don't even want to play it anymore! But of course I love the game!
Nobody cares about these threads. But i'll keep posting these until someone understands.

Its a virtual character boo freaking who,
People invest sometimes hundreds of hours into there game getting that GUI looking just right.

Roblox does useful updates don't get me wrong, But no disrespect to any of the admins but, We respect you for building this flamboyant at most gaming platform, But at the end of the day, If it was not for us where would you be, I wouldn't say it would be a complete flop but it would be barely braking even, we spend the what ever your info graphic says hours on your site generating your income buying your memberships and virtual currency, Let us, the content creators help decide what happens not just you putting something in place with no say from us.

I hope Roblox comes to their senses and realizes their little experiment was an absolute disaster that enraged almost everyone in the community.

A wide band with only two little buttons on it. Pretty pointless, don't you think?
