Okay, I'm not going to argue that they should remove the update. I understand why it has been done.
My idea is that they create a new bevel function that looks like the old one. Maybe it could be in the Insert basic object section.
I am sure that ROBLOX staff are capable of creating a bevel like this that supports the new dynamic lighting.

The reason I ask for this, is that I've spent many hours creating projects that use bevels. This includes my latest two projects; A castle (completely ruined by the update) and a house inspired by one I saw in real life. For the house, the bevels were useful for stones and panels on the exterior, and floor boards inside.

Please tell me your opinion on this compromise idea.

I think getting rid of bevels is ROBLOX trying to act like "OH, WE'RE DOING WORK" whilst ruining the game.

I think what they have been working on is really good and will make ROBLOX better, however, the bevels should have been updated instead of removed.
Thanks for your reply. :)

Bevels allowed builders to build properly.

Well, I completely agree with you Robo, considering that I'm your boss and that you guys build for the group. It messes Go-Modern up and roblox. The new updates keep making new people coming into roblox and letting out all the older Robloxians like me go away. I've been playing since 2005 on my account Rem, and this is possibly one of the worst updates that Roblox has made since god knows when..

"My idea is that they create a new bevel function that looks like the old one. Maybe it could be in the Insert basic object section."

The new dynamic lighting and other newer features would now have to account for this new mesh or "function", defeating the purpose of removing them... Anyway, the new lighting will finally make the hideous plastic look have a more appealing look.

I'm getting REALLY annoyed by trying to explain why bevels won't return.

Anyway, a lot more users build with block meshes to remove bevels or ask the users to turn of bevels for a more appealing look. There are many more pros from removing bevels than the cons. The developers at ROBLOX HAVE thought of this and why they will be removed.

I completely understand that, but there should be an option.
Thank you for your reply.

"The new dynamic lighting and other newer features would now have to ACCOUNT for this new mesh or "function", DEFEATING the PURPOSE of removing them." Please re-read this.

Optional or not you are basically saying bring them back as the "new" bevels are another nuisance for the developers to develop the game. Also, this forum goes against WNTS.

I've already had a 3-page rant with many reasons why the pros out beat the cons. You can read the debate here:

Yes, I know.
I read the WNTS and decided this was suitable.
I'm just saying that the update has ruined my building, which has upset me and made me wonder why I bothered.

Just because you think so doesn't mean it is. You aren't special over everyone else. You can't shoot a cop and expect to get away with it.

I didn't mean it like that. I meant that I read it and didn't think that what I wanted to say was against it.

• CANCEL THE WHOLE THING. (IE, undo a massive update, remove huge features, etc.)

You do understand WHY they are being removed. Stop being arrogant and see why this has to be done.

The dynamic lightning is in the front place of course, and I have waited for it for months now but after that as soon as they find a way to fit the beveled bricks to the dynamic lightning I don't see why a bevel brick mesh would be a bad idea at all.

I'm not being arrogant, Rocklee. I was just suggesting something they could add, I didn't say they should undo the whole thing. If you don't want to argue, then don't.
I was just telling people how I felt.

They WANT bevels to be gone so they can develop the game. Why re-add it in a "different form"? Complete waste of time and money.

Roblox is a classic case of "One step forward, two steps backward"

When they take a step forward into a better game (Lighting! Yeah!) they break/remove even more stuff (Bevels! Kill them!)

Oh, and you know how when you hold Space you act like you are made of rubber?

Yeah, its not like that on the iPad version. I think one of them is a glitch (PC one, hopefully)

Notunknown, I can't quite tell whether you're agreeing with me or not but you make a good point.

I dont like bevels at all. I didn't read because it had to do with bevels or something.

Well ROBLOX should allow an option to add bevels in game on the game settings area.

Our main chance of getting bevels back is by making a group, and putting ads up to get it popular. Then ROBLOX will notice it, and if we have enough people, they should hopefully bring it back!

Bevels being removed is fine. I've been building without them for ages trust me you get used to just like this new studio.

Dynamic lighting definitely adds more options than bevels. Yes, it ruined some games, but we can do so much more with this.

The best thing would be adding an option in the place if the creator would like bevels.
