I will talk about 2 main elements in this thread:
1.The games.
2.The prizes and the gear.
First of all, the games.
The first 2 events to come out this Halloween were the Devents from the popular places Work at a Pizza Place and Ripull Minigames. These games are used almost every time for a devent. Dont get me wrong, they can be fun at times, but after you play them for a while, they start to get boring. And also, for an event, just by saying event you think about something special, we want something else! Not the same thing we can get at any time. I've found the hidden zombie located at Work at a Pizza Place in under 10 minutes and I dont even wanna struggle to find the other one at Ripull Minigames. The green vest's quality is just horrible. Just go get the "rare" zombie at the game made by Quenty. Its easier and it has better quality.
Now lets talk about the new game made by Davidii and Quenty. These guys are great game developers and the map built by them looks great, but then there is the gameplay. Quenty said in a thread that its a new game concept that Roblox has never seen. Its partially true, because of the automatic moving of the player, but the gameplay is just slow and boring. And the special vest you get from it, it comes from a "Rare" zombie. I've personally seen him too many times to be rare, and Im sure it wasnt luck. Remember last year's event? With the 3 rare monsters that dropped some decent hats? Now thats something that I would get excited for, feeling the adrenaline when I finally see one of them. But for this "rare" zombie witch has as a prize a derpy vest, why would I get excited? Its not even a good hat!
The map of the game is pretty cool, I cant say that it doesnt have details, but if you remember the screenshots posted on Twitter, there was an indoor section of the map, but it doesnt appear in the game. Were they pressured by time and they didnt have time to finish everything? Will they add it soon? Possible. Remember 2014's Easter Egg Hunt? The game team was pressured by the community and the game was released earlier, with a lot of bugs and glitches, and the community over-reacted about it.
Finally, I understand that roblox allows everybody to play for free almost any possible game and that they need money to keep the business going, but if that means lowering the quality of what made Roblox fun, they might lose more money than gaining.


Now lets talk about the prizes and the gear
Compared to the ones made last year, these are horrible.

First of all we have the Nerf Cap and Googles.
Nice concept of a hat, but its kinda goofy, could of been better. Maybe some of you like it. I give it a 3/5.

Then we have the Nerf Zombie Friend.
I dont even want to look at it. Maybe some game developers can use it with a retexture for some kind of a game, but other than that, its horrible, even for an 1 tix gear.

We also have the Nerd Bandana.
Its a decent hat, but it goes trough the back of your head. Maybe Roblox will fix it. I dont know if its because of the size of the hat or the positioning..

The Nerf Chest Armor - Its my least favorite of them all. Just my opinion. Some of my friends like it, I dont even know why, but its none of my business.

And finally ladies and gentlemen, the Nerf Tactical Vest. The best of them all. It actually looks good. If all the items listed above had the same quality, maybe this event would of been kinda half saved.. idk.


So per total, I give this event, compared to the precedent events, a 2/5. ( Waiting 1 year for under 1 hour of gameplay to get some low quality prizes is not cool Roblox. )

I couldn't agree more to be honest. The lack of prizes as well was a massive let-down.

"I've had it with the Roblox is greedy bull turds. This thread is to get people to quit complaining, pick up an instrument, and head down to a New Orleans street corner and play jazz to make money.

First off, Roblox is a company. They are not a non-profit organization, they are not a volunteer organization. They are a company. All companies are built to make money. While making the people in the company money, it also provides a service to the community.

Now, a non-profit organization is different in that it aims not to make money for itself, but for OTHERS. Let’s take an organization that is raising money for cancer cure research. They don't make money, and they tend to be volunteer only.

So, what does it take to keep Roblox alive? Well for starters, they need people who are willing to pony up a little cash. This little bit of cash is then used to pay Roblox employees, and other expenses. It is also used for something bigger.

Your computer, is but one CPU. One, piece of data storage. Your computer, would not be able to run all of the servers of front page games at once. What does it need? Something that looks like this: https://www.cloudyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Servers-Server-Farm-Engine-Room.jpg

Now, every one of those green lights, is a computer. That, is a lot of computers. This is what makes a server, and when you have that many, its called a server farm. In order for Roblox to store the millions of bits of data from your hats, gear, models, places, EVERYTHING, it needs a massive server farm. Server farms are the only thing that can handle this job.

Server farms need a lot of power to run. They also need to have in-house cooling systems to keep them from overheating, which costs even more money on the energy bill. The reason Roblox is not very shy about getting money, is because it needs it. Server farms can cost your entire family's yearly income in one month.

The reason Roblox seems to be "greedy", is because they need to keep these servers maintained. Think about it. Builderman, the guy who was first on your friends list, and ever since the friends and followers update, has 67,873,951 followers. That is roughly if not more than half of the accounts on Roblox. Now not every user has a single place. Say every user had ten places. Now add up their inventory, and give the total of that massive number, and you get an even large number.

This is called data. And on Roblox, there is a crap ton of it that needs to be stored. For this reason, the majority of Roblox's money is being spent on servers. This is speculation, but it probably is fact.

The NBC community needs to realize the simple fact, that the majority of users are NBC. They also need to realize, that they are the ones being greedy, when asking for ten robux a day. At the minimum, NBC makes one robux every two days with the current average of exchange rates. NBC's that are not actively buying builders club or robux, are not contributing to keeping Roblox alive other then another mark on the number of registered accounts.

In other terms, there is no way in hell you are ever getting a daily robux stipend of ten robux daily. No. Way. In. Hell.

Because you have deemed roblox to greedy, to help them keep their game alive by ponying up some cash to keep them in business.

So, pick up a trumpet or some instrument, head down to New Orleans, and start playing Jazz. Then come back and get builders club."









Ok, this is why we got sponsored events. this was all written by "FishEye18" I support but
still realize this is why.

It really is all about advertising now for roblox... no longer will they care about anything but the money that appears in their back pocket. All the items are awful honestly, not even sure why I bothered to get the first 2.

@el183545
I've read that post. I think it's accurate. But just because ROBLOX needs money doesn't mean they should over-sponsor every event. I don't really care if they advertise some Nerf gun, as long as it doesn't become the prize. ROBLOX still gets money for advertising the product, and the users get good prizes. And as long as Nerf doesn't interfere with the prizes, then people might not equate a Nerf "Doominator" with disappointing prizes.

@el
I see your point, but I didn't say ROBLOX should give daily R$ to everybody, free items or anything like that.
Like I said before, I know that they need money to keep the business going, but the principal source of money is the community, purchasing ROBLOX cards, R$ and other things.

I, personally, won't pay for something with bad quality and that doesn't entertain me anymore. I'm sure you're going to say that ROBLOX doesn't entertain me anymore becuase I growing up, but man, I would play the precedent Halloween events just for fun! Because guess what, they were fun! But this year's Hallows Eve.. I just got the badges and left in under 20 minutes. I used to hang out with my friends on the Halloween events and help others to accomplish the goal of the game.

I, again personally, would agree with the idea to wait 2 more weeks and that there are going to be purchasable extra features for the event, as long as I would know that I'm going to get something decent! Like 2013's Eve! You could buy pets, gears and motorcycles. I've seen a lot of people with motorcycles because you had to walk a lot trough the map.

Like always, your faithful Allan FireRunner.

I have nothing with ROBLOX making a little more money by sponsoring. Continue doing that and making extra money to upgrade the platform, but don't let it take over what made ROBLOX fun. No. For example, 2014's Eve had only a special round sponsoring some show on Disney Channel. It didn't mind me, because it was just a round and the game per total was awesome. The sponsorship this year just took over the event and limited the options of it, making it horrible. And yes, I know it's also the community's fault because a big part of us complained about the precedent event. But there was also a part of the community that loved them, mostly veterans. But that hating part is hating on this event too, and it has grown like it never did! Have you seen anybody saying: "Wow! How cool is this event! I wanna play it again and again and again and also I want the next year's Eve to be the same!". I dont think so. Well, I've seen the opposite everywhere.

Some of you might say that ROBLOX focuses on the new part of the community so they get more money, but lets analyse that:

You're a noob. You get to the game page of Roblox. You just descovered this cool free site full of free cool games. Let's say that you pick a random game and that random game is this year's Hallows Eve. You play it and you hate it. What will most of you do? Leave and never come back or talk about ROBLOX again.

A noob doesn't know what an event is, or most of them. When I just joined Roblox, there was an event going. I just played randomly that event game, but I didn't know that I could win something or that its something special! I just played the game for fun! Now that's how you get long term users! You give them quality and entertainment!
A noob that just joined a month ago won't pay for R$. Maybe the noob doesn't even know what R$ is. But guess who will do! Someone that knows what the benefits of having R$ are and how they can be used. That implies a little knowledge of ROBLOX!

ROBLOX just filled this year with sponsor events and dev events, leaving us hoping that we're going to get something better for Halloween. BUT GUESS WHAT! NOPE!

Also an argument to how horrible this year's event is: The event is not on the front page of the games section. That's how loved it is.

There have been rumors that this is not the final event. I hope its true, but still just by these rumors existence my point is proved again: This events is just plain bad. I've never heard rumors like that for the precedent events!

In conclusion, ROBLOX, we will purchase something with a decent quality and also that is entertaining. Just take a moment and think about what is ROBLOX going to look like in 1 year if this is going to keep on going like this.
