Still in my eyes the current system is better than old one, if only for the fact that now you descend the list slowly instead of getting dropped down into oblivion after getting out boosted.
It's better for low number rooms, new unknown hosts and the "hidden gems"... Worse for high popularity rooms who are used to staying at the top of the list  based on numbers.

However, for the majority of the actual 3dx population, i.e the ones who are not into hosting and just want to find a certain room, surely some quality of life improvements are needed.

Here are my suggestions, which I am sure all or most of have been suggested already.

- Slider for a sort by preference lists. And in interest of keeping the power of room boosting relevant, we can have the top 5 rooms be always the last 5 boosted rooms no matter what sorting the player chooses.
- Rooms opened by friend getting color coded.
- Rooms who have friends in them getting color coded.
- Ability to favorite a host and have their opened rooms color coded.
- A search by host/room name function.
(by color code I don't mean entire name colored please, just maybe a circle next to the room name with the color)

Also please, make it so that rooms with zero people get closed no matter if host is online or not, will surely shorten the list and make scrolling down easier.

Aaaand there will be brooms!

Yes there will be candy, I mean booze.... aaaaaand also candy some people are bound to lose their clothes after all  

*readies the cooking pot* 

would love that

my pleasure, dear

this always happens and always will happen with stairs, since the model's algorithms are actually those of a slope not stairs... there's no way around it, except modeling your own stairs with boxes one step at a time.

This error happens when sometimes the patcher deletes the GameAssembly.dll file in the game directory... what @Yvonny suggested is what should fix it, but you need the file from the current version of the game.

If you can get one of your friends to send it to you, then you are good... if not just redownload the game, should fix it.

get well soon, dear

Regardless of anything... It's a sad day when a free pirated unofficial version has more options than the official "supported" version... Even if it lacks in other parts.

Side note... is that a 3d mesh nipple piercing? how the hell did the "dumb" hacker manage to break the code of not being forced to have it as a drawn tattoo!!!? 

Oh ffs... I try to be objective and all, but this is really sad!!!

For people justifying not quitting the game when they are clearly frustrated by it,  cause they paid 6 or 12 months sub. You can contact bmt micro and get a refund for the remaining time on your subscription.

people flip when they see a rape room and go into a frenzy like it's the apocalypse... but when it comes to slave rooms it's all fine?

enslavement is also something that's done against the will of a person, and it surely encompasses a lot more shit that happens to the person under it which happens to include rape as well.

is it because some have the fantasy?
well some have the fantasy about being raped also...
surely the people who go to either rape or slave rooms didn't get dragged there.

don't get me wrong, I detest rape rooms... I am just wondering about the reason behind the double standards.

The devs spoke about a lot of things they intended to work on, INTENDED, not promised. The fools here are all the ones who came in here, as newbies, to whom older player said: "dev communication is bad, updates are not coming so often, the team look to be smal so dont take any for granted" and those person told you "I love dev all is goold and perfect"

Now we says to the same person "dev communication is bad, updates are not coming so often, the team look to be small so dont take any for granted" and now those peeps tell us we are cheerleaders while we think still the same thing and they changed their mind.

I am here since more than 4 years now, it doesnt took me long to see that basic games bugs are barely fixed, that communication aint easy. and that updates come when they decide. We all remember how great of an addition was the Saloon to game right?

Are devs lazy? Maybe. Are devs too busy with others things? Maybe. Are devs bad communicant, I would say surely. There is nothing new about how devs behave since I am here.

I am satisfied tho? Yes I am, the game is still the one i prefer for now, I love the building editor, I find the game play easy. Could it be improved? HELL YES but all games can be.

If tomorrow, something better (aka more satisfying for me) than 3dx comes out, with a reasonable price has 3DX has, yeah maybe I will go.

This game has an enormous potential, at least it looks so to me, and I am sure devs know about it too, if they dont try to improve it, must be reasons. 

The bottom line stays the same, we know how devs  are, we can do suggestions, but at the end of the day it is their game, and they do what they want. Our only real power is to pay for it or not. To log in or not. I made my choice, I prefer as 3DX as it now, than not 3DX at all.

I simply spoke her my point of view. I am no cheerleader, nor devs basher, but somewhere in the middle I guess.

Yup... wish more people were like that... my whole intention with making this thread is to just calmly convey a point of view and hope the devs take it into account.... but things spiraled so fast and extremism took over...

the idea of deleting the whole topic is surely toying with my mind... maybe that's what I will end up doing, as it was not my intention for it to end as bash the devs party, even though they are not gaining any favors as of late... but yelling will never be the way to get the point across.

Funny how a simple -well mannered- criticism topic, turned into people donning the robes of eternal wisdom and going around saying do this and don't do that... that goes for people on both sides of the argument... yup there's no shortage of autocrats indeed

You okay? Make a diary and describe everything there.

apparently, it's just a troll who is butt hurt cause someone dumped her... and is proving why it was a good decision 
nothing new in the world of 3dx... let's just let it pass ^^

All i read in this topic is "devs do shit" or "they are lazy" or shit like this

really that's all you read? 

topic is made exactly to let devs know that what they did is distasteful and to give them a chance to rethink it... some people yell, that happens... especially when frustration mounts to a lot.

but please... don't go claiming that "ALL" you read is devs do shit or that they are lazy!

Second: I am not defending the devs on this right now. I am highly disappointed by them. I was hyped but when I looked closer to it, I saw it and was instantly on the dislike side.
I liked his post because he points out facts that you lack to tell the people here to spread false facts. Yes, congratulations. You can make a piercing in 10 minutes. But its something else to get this into the game. Because they have to include different breastsizes AND the physics. And I am not talking about the piercing following the nipple. I am talking about deforming of the piercing. If not correctly coded into the game, the piercing will deform with the breastsizes and physics. But this is not undoable. It can be done within some hours easily. Thats why I am disappointed by the devs right now.

Either way. I am not on the "wrong side". I am on the realistic and straight thinking side. I am disappointed big time, but I stay fair to the devs.
If the devs pay me for the animations or not, I dont care. Its not about the money. Dunno how you think that I do it for money. I mean its nice to earn from it, but its not my goal.

100% agree with you, Loruna.
we don't have to be "anti" devs to point out that something they are doing is disappointing to us.
I wont go as far to say that I like them... but in the end we are not hating on them when we give criticism.
I just hope that they see it that way too... That when players voice their concern over something it doesn't mean that they hate them... it just means that whatever they are doing is not on bar with the quality of the existing game and is not what we want to expect from them.

on a side note... thanks for the all the wonderful work you been doing, dear

You think "lower graphics" is something the player does which takes no extra work on the developer's side? The game engine still has to swap to another model of lower detail which does have to be made. The "option" to lower graphics does not save work. And Alivia made a literal ring, not an actual piercing like what THX posted.

And no, a 30-polygon ring or torus (which is not a cylinder in any way) would definitely look shittier than a texture. But the math really isn't important. This is a preview of a work in progress. How many piercing presets and options will there be? We don't know, yet we're complaining.

Sure, the devs could definitely release things faster than they are, but for whatever reason, they aren't. You're paying to use existing features. If you get something new, be grateful, cause you're entitled to nothing more than what already exists. If the textured rings are such low quality that your experience is ruined by them, there are a couple of elegant solutions for you, the player: a) don't use them, b) don't zoom in that close. Ta da.

it is really lame when the excuse for not doing something correct is that it takes extra work.

No, dear... the player is entitled to a certain quality of the game that they paid for...  yes the game can just remain without updates at all and as long as they keep a stable server, I am  happy.
"We don't know, yet we're complaining" what I said that "if this is how the final work is going to look like, then they shouldn't make it" the number of options or variants of it doesn't matter, if the feature is a baked texture then it and all it's variants are bad, and again better not done.
But you would have know that had you read first before replying.

and yes, even a 30 polygon cylinder will still look much better than a drawn one.

Second, the players complaining about rings not being modeled should consider some things.
The below image is a torus (ring). It's extremely easy to model. You're right about that. But to achieve geometry that actually looks round, each ring could easily be 150-300 polygons, while the "painted" version is between 0-2.

yeeeeah... doesn't need to be a 300 poly torus ring can be a very low poly one since it small no need for it to be detailed... heck even a low poly cylinder which can amount to 20-30 polygons, and people will be happy...
the female avatar poly count is 14174 polys, that's not counting the face or any clothes... so really an extra 300 or even 2000 polygons in the era of 64-bit shouldn't amount to much problems, if we are gonna argue for the sake of people running 10 years old machines then they have the option to lower the graphics.

all that being said... still my main argument holds, if they can't do it properly then they shouldn't do it at all, baking it into a texture will surely look like a downgrade.

I think we should rather encourage them to do something better and not to denigrate them, maybe that can make them understand.

fully agree on that... hopefully they listen though!

From discord...
and please this is not about the fact that they should be posting updates here and not on discord... so let's spare this argument...

For me it's just about saying my opinion about this planned update, since we can't type any thing on the discord channel.

1- nipple slider... the slider should be for the areola (circular colored patch of skin) only, actual nipple (pointy bits) should remain the same.
2- as for the piercing... should be an actual 3d model not a texture that looks like it's tattoo'd on the boob.

over all if this is how the final product is gonna look like, then better not do it cause at least for me this will look like a down grade in the game's visual quality.

Pushing rooms is an old and established game between competitors - don’t take them the fun away 

beside this funny side note, I bet the developers had a reason to change the ordering back to the old version. A lot of people complained about it too. As usual you can’t satisfy everybody, it is impossible. 
 

in the current version spending 300 xgold make sense but with the ordering by visitors not.

oh don't get me wrong... I am one of those who are in favor of the old sorting's return... I am merely trying to find a middle ground, cause yeah for me personally at least sometime the 10 seconds it takes to find Havasu falls in the list is tedious... would be cool if I can favorite it and find it at a glance...

also am I wrong or did the list become longer after that update?  could be that I haven't scrolled that far down in a while

That wouldn't suit my requirements.  I don't have favourite rooms (although others probably do and being able to favourite them sounds like a good idea), but ultimately I want the user list to be available to me in a sequence that works for me not someone with xgold.

A separate list of promoted rooms isnt a bad thing (if I can easily ignore it if I want to), as long as I can access the full list of rooms in a sequence that works for me.

sadly nothing can suit the requirements of every one anyways... I was among the first to suggest individual room sorting... but giving it a second though... that wouldn't work for hosts, since room boosting will be useless.

every one has a way they want things to work... and no matter what solution will come (if any at all) there will always be the one or one hundred who will come saying that this doesn't work for them and their needs.

How about user can favorite a couple of rooms, then those rooms when open go on top of the list for the user... with stars next to them or something... then below them x-gold boosted room and rest of rooms sorted according to Giz's desires
