Please, please, please...

Just fix the ability for builders to hide nameplates again! Turns out that was a feature, not a bug, and some of the most entertaining rooms in the game have been made pointless shadows of their former selves since the nameplate change... The gameplay is objectively less diverse and interesting now.

How would the ability to hide nameplates being removed make the gameplay less diverse? All it would be is to hide everyone's nameplates globally in that world whether a player wanted it or not. That doesn't change the normal gameplay experience at all except make it frustrating for others who actually are trying to find someone they're trying to meet up with. Unless you just don't like seeing people's names on screen everywhere? If that be the case just turn them off yourself. Go to your Options > Game > Names > and set to Hide All or On Hover. Why should Builders get the power to tell us if we can see names or not when we have a dedicated name system already in the options menu for individuals. Giving builders that control would be garbage and makes the individual options menu pointless.

Also that IS a bug because to make it happen you have to lower the sea level below -7 meters and build that low to force the names to disappear. It's not an intended feature, and again if it was, it would be garbage.

I'm pleased to hear that you share our understanding. We hope that the 3DX community will also recognize and appreciate our efforts.

As a team of independent developers, we are self-funded and not affiliated with any publishers or corporations. We take great pride in our work and continuously strive to improve the project. While we excel in some areas, we acknowledge that there is always room for improvement. We value and carefully consider feedback from our players, though we may not be able to satisfy every request. After all, we are only human.

It's important to note that 3DXChat is an adult-oriented game. However, it's disheartening to see that some individuals continue to behave in an immature manner. Let's all work together to create a welcoming and respectful community.

Oh of course I understand very well what developing a game has in it, especially one that's looking to strive for actual quality content. It's not something easily done. I tried to get into Unity and Javascript, and I just couldn't fathom it. 

It's also a balancing act especially for smaller teams. On one hand if you work only work on bug-fixes, new content isn't being made and it becomes a stressful stale existence of trying fix code that just doesn't want to cooperate, as well as members who complain there's no new updates. On the other hand if you add any content you want to add as your vision of the game, members complain that you don't fix bugs that have been a problem for years. If it was easy to fix it would've been fixed. I'm looking forward to the fixes, but I'm just happy the game looks good and is playable.

Well, the developer takes my money regardless of what other games i play, which i don't name and FWIW are not "fake" in any way shape or form. It  IS disappointing that you don't actually respond to the comment i made to clarify what it seemed concerned  you.  I do see that you are...prolific in making responses that are questionably productive.  I'm very familiar with that kind of behavior and to be honest i have no need of it from you. I don't suppose that many do.

So, lets see how that "IGNORE" list works then

Katrin Vesuvino

Sure? Okay. Whatever wets your slit queenie.

Just to clarify, my concern is not being stalked. So any "Who's in a Room" list whether it be after entering a room or before, is bad. Even adding it in rooms allows a player to go in a room, quickly check a list, then duck out if they don't see someone they want. So no you don't address any concerns, you exaggerate them further. We don't need that kind of update, it makes stalking easier. 

I'm very familiar with THAT kind of behavior and to be honest I have no need of more of it, from you or anyone else. No one does. Ignore me though, you act like I care lol.

I agree it is cool....but it would have been WAY down on my list of wishes for in game.

That said

 

The problem with not following the survey and adding things on a whim is that the community will see it as their requests being ignored. I know of some items people have been asking for for years...especially clothing. 

It would still be nice to have ALL of the clothing with the new textures. It is like they started it....then stopped and moved on to something else. That kind of development does get frustrating to us players.

Now, I do think the new feature is kind of cool...will make bar design a TON easier and that I do like. But...it seemed like y'all were working on one thing then saw a "Squirrel" (UP reference).

 

 Well I mean let's be on a really realistic note here. How many people are working on 3DXChat? Because their staff directory says there's only 4 members in the whole team. If it's just Gizmo and one or two other people working on the game, why is everyone drilling them for updates. Working on a game is hard, it's not just slapping crap together and hoping it works. They literally just announced updating the Unity engine to a more modern version. That's called progress.

In the end, this is GIZMO'S game. Not yours, not Rand's, not Ferdinand Jone's, and not Joe Biden's. Gizmo gets the final say of what he wants to put in. 
He's choosing what he wants to put in first based on what he can do now. It's a small team and patience can be a helpful thing. So what if he adds something on a whim that he wanted to add just because he saw an opportunity. Who Tf cares? Let him make his game the way he can and the way he wants. He's giving us progress updates along the way, that's enough for me, and should be enough for everyone else.

That they do, i live in one of them and "vacation" in 3dx.  Until such time as that other place collapses OR 3dx adds more "social" features and frankly people act more social, i'll stay primarily somewhere else. I do like to play with the 3d editor

Katrin Vesuvino

Why would you openly tell the developer that you're playing a Fake3DX game that they even just said a bit ago was illegal. You trying to get your account banned? lol If you're gonna do it, then just do it, stop worrying about what the dev thinks.
If you're looking for the members to act more social, then you probably waiting for rain in the Sahara desert, because the social skills of majority of this community leaves a lot to be desired and doesn't seem to be getting better any time soon.

I have already told you that I agree with what you wrote, it is the way you carry pedantic that makes you rude. 
Here we are all on the same level and we all have freedom of speech. Be more polite, it costs nothing. 
It's not a drama, just an observation. Arrogance gets you nowhere honey <3

Being passive-aggressive is the same as arrogance. Just saying.

How much arrogance in one person. The things you say are true, it is correct, but you are too arrogant and rude in doing so, 
the fact that you are right does not give you permission to make your post a symbol of "knowledge and arrogance", 
I repeat, what you say it's true, it's the way you carry it that's wrong. Be kinder to others, it costs you nothing, it's free.

I don't think there are many people here who can carry a sort of kindness anymore. Honestly everywhere I go in 3DX anymore be it forums or in-game all I can see are self-entitled people who can't just be happy with some progress. But nah, the update wasn't to *their* standards. So it matters not to them.

I am really tired of people not accepting the inquires of others. I suggest you read the following and then answer the question why there should be a reason why long term players should not look with very skeptical eyes on what is announced, where are these features? They are not in sight:

 

 

Okay? So how does this relate to me? The quote you tag me in I only said I agree there should be no "Who's in Room" Option? That lets people look at rooms and see a list of people in those rooms before even going in the room. This opens the door to stalkers even wider. Make inquiries and suggestions all you like, and these ones in the posts seem like decent ones, but my post was replying to someone who said a "Who's in Room" feature would be bad, and I agreed.

Unless you meant to tag a previous post I made? In which case again I'm not ignoring anyone's inquiries, just stating an obvious fact that was posted in the literal first message regarding it. You want me to take you seriously, but then you don't read my post to see where I was even coming from. lol

As a builder, this update is huge and so exciting! As for the bug/fixes that many have mentioned in this thread.... Read Gizmo's post, do not just look at the pictures! 

I personally would HATE to see a "who is in the room list". One of the things I loved about 3dx was my privacy here. If I want to be found, all I have to do is open to friends only. I do not want stalkers! I came from another Virtual World that allowed you to ignore but could find you in those room lists. They also could see and hear you. I would hate for that to happen here. 

This UPDATE 1 post from Gizmo is just that. That means there are more to come. Before we judge what is or isn't being done. Let's wait and see. 

I agree. We don't need a list saying who's in the room. I already have to deal with stalkers sometimes that somehow can track alts attached to your account. I can't even go to an alt without same people bothering me sometimes. I don't need people checking rooms for me too.

Maybe you should read again the answer again too? It just asks to show the results of the survey. Neither the answer assumes the food update is related to it nor that it is not.

Maybe you should re-re-read the answer given and I'll even bolden it for you. The initial answer did in fact assume there was a survey for food and drinks. Whether they assumed that the update was related to any other survey is irrelevant since the initial thing you yourself answered to, was just stating that there was no survey mentioned. "Show us in the survey where people voted for food and drinks" in case you aren't fluent in English, means that the person assumes there is a section in a survey to show for said feature.

Gizmo - nobody eats these types of things while exercising!  And let's be honest - still no cell phone in our hands during the phone call pose?   And show us in the survey where people voted for food and drinks - over fixing the bugs and other enhancements.  (That's truly what is puzzling me.) 

I was always under the impression that 3DXChat attempted to stay up to speed with what was going on especially tech wise.  I'm glad you are FINALLY updating the Unity server to one that is not old and undependable. 

Answering to Rand now:
There doesn't have to be a survey to just add some new things on a whim. The post says that they aren't releasing the Unity upgrade until they fix the bugs they produced by working with it, they just added some new food and drinks because they had to overhaul the beer drinking feature to make it work anyway, so they just added new stuff as a little goody, maybe even as tests. 
Adding new stuff doesn't have to mean the people asked for it. Appreciating some new stuff doesn't mean it has to have been demanded.

Patience. They already said they're working on the bugs, this is just a dev- blog letting us know their progress.
