IGNORANT

[clever storm]

the devs ruined rec room with ai and other useless things like fba and new watch menus and ugc, turned into a worse version of roblox with an unhappy community and a developer team who refuses to listen for the sake of money, unfair and just plain ignorant, 2018-2020 was prime rec room, if you looked at that rec room and looked at it current rec room youd understand what we as the community mean. But at this point who am I to come out and say something like this when thousands of others have said the same thing and nothing has happened. IGNORANT

[agile jolt]

Sorry you think that way.. FBA And UGC Were both wanted by the community so i don't understand why people throw that out as useless when people wanted it? AI is just a Helping tool for players to have.. Personally I don't like AI and i see where people come from! Devs Do listen to the community just the way they make the stuff players ask for might have a few tweaks to it!

[clever storm]

But you have got to admit that UGC and FBA make rec room less like rec room, this game used to be a normal college campus with some custom rooms created by the community, that was what made rec room, rec room. And if they really listened to the community then people like me would see a change, and we haven’t

[supple granite]

ah yes, more ways to customize your avatar with pants, shoes, arms, and dozens of new items is terrible

UNPLAYABLE!

[clever storm]

I know but like back then that was cursed, and rec rooms unique character being a bean was something that gave rec room its own style, and not only just that, the fact that the game is just filled with slop cash grabs and ignited games, too many people have quit the game, and it hasn’t been for no reason

[supple granite]

Yes but bean is still a thing. Full body is fully optional. Theres still more people using bean too.

[clever storm]

classic bean tho

[clever storm]

too many complaints about the new one

[keen mirage]

Yeah, the new bean just ruins the whole game, it makes the game completely unplayable, the real classic bean was removed a long time ago anyways

[mental wigeon]

U say that ai ruined recroom more than 12 hours after announcement of maker ai being removed. Just because they have only one ai now still isn't good enough for people to be happy and not complain about it is sad in my opinion the work hard all the time the devs do will never be enough for the community not to complain is insane they have a small yet big dev team that works a lot and people saying that rr is a cash grab is insane like they need money to make game and have servers

[clever storm]

look at rec room 2019/2020, that’s rec room, look at it now, you can’t tell me that it’s not gotten worse

[frosty shell]

1. Yes that is true that both are wanted by the community, but it is not impossible to implement both neither

2. AI takes all creativity away from room making and is much more of a way to slack off rather than a tool

3. If they do listen, it shouldn’t take months for them to remove AI, they shouldn’t be removing harmless things like the weekly, they ESPECIALLY should be making the game a safer place for it’s community in terms on moderation considering the target of the game is towards KIDS

Obviously Rec Room will NOT trace back all the way to it’s roots and become that Campus vibe ever again, but it can definitely make sure people are happy with this new change in direction and listen more attentively to requests.
For example: not taking 2 years to optimize Crescendo for it to run on Quest ;-;

[clever storm]

exactly

BTW not to mention the fact that there’s so many bugs and glitches in the game eg. notifications not showing

[sterile sable]

The issue about ugc is half of them are troll avatars

[clever storm]

exactly

i’m sick of people pretending the game is good and defending the lazy developers who listen to the minority of people asking for these hated additions to the game while the majority has an issue but is not being fixed

[mental wigeon]

I’ve been playing rr since 2018 and I can say the game won’t always be the same as it used to be but I can say if it were 2019 and I just magically time traveled to the current update I would still be able to recognize the same game and how amazing it is

[keen mirage]

I mean they could make VM a little better, when they said it has a 99.99999999% accuracy or sum like that, that just one doesn't sound too promising and 2 I mean it's not really any more accurate than siri for the love of god, and a few makerpen glitches where you make one little mistake and it's rather hours of fixing shit or it ruins the whole game you made in general

[lusty sequoia]

They're going to remove Maker AI soon. Not fully, but just enough to put it out of the way. FBA and UGC were prayed on for years before surveys pushed the idea out. Hell, FBA was Rec Room's idea ever since they added the costume creator. It was just good ideas developed at a horrible time tbh, that's why the appearance and functionality are super hated (rightfully so since it's been over a year since its wonky publication, and hasn't gotten any better). The process of UGC is irritating, but even then, we have creators who do make some promising items. I just wish Rec Room had the willpower and care to make more of their own rather than doing it for monetized events. The store is nothing but UGC now, and it annoys when I wish to be OG yk? There are still some items I think should be developed for other clothing items, or items released to the public that never made it (LIKE THE VIGILANTE STUFF). UGCs just don't feel as authentic, even when they're trying to make it close to Rec Room's wear, but that's the only reasoning. It's not so bad.

THEY ARE FINALLY GETTING RID OF AI?

THANK THE LORD 🙏

[static fractal]

so far they are only getting rid of MakerAI, Roomie is still present and actively being worked on. but tbh Roomie is better than MakerAI anyways so eeh...

[brave gale]

i disagree with 3/4 points you make

i wanted fba because it adds more customization
the new watch menus are fine and very organized i dont mind them
ugc added nothing but more customization what is the problem its well moderated and most ugc items arent overpriced like 1000-3000 tokens

thats like 2-5 dollars

[lusty sequoia]

Not everyone has the money for it and token boxes take forever due to the non-RR+ probability. Also, he may be talking about the newest watch menu they tried out that not everyone has, which is kinda lucky for them.

[brave gale]

thats their problem most good looking items can be gotten though rros

im pretty sure my entire outfit is made from rro items

[lusty sequoia]

Same. What ticks me off more is the clothes I make through the customizer; it can never seem to load up, and I look like an orange Teletubby with a hood on when people see me.

So I finally decided to just put on some official RRO stuff in black because that was the only things that were going to be seen on me. I have my black S* hood, the black bandaged wristbands, the black vigilante cape, and the black smuggler torso.

This is annoying me though because Rec Room, once celebrated for its community driven ethos and immersive social gameplay, has increasingly drawn criticism for its tendency to implement features and cosmetic additions that appear disconnected from the desires of its core player base. Rather than refining existing mechanics or addressing long standing issues such as moderation inconsistencies, performance optimization, or creator tool limitations the developers have often prioritized superficial updates that offer little substantive value. These additions, ranging from incongruent themed items to redundant UI changes, not only dilute the platform’s original charm but also alienate veteran users who feel their feedback is routinely disregarded. The frustration is compounded by a perceived lack of transparency in development decisions, where community polls and forum discussions seem to have minimal influence on actual outcomes. This disconnect fosters a growing sentiment that Rec Room is veering away from its foundational principles, favoring trend chasing and monetization over meaningful engagement and innovation. In doing so, it risks eroding the trust and enthusiasm of the very community that elevated it to prominence in the first place. So when you are talking about you wanted this etc like we as the majority didn’t, we feel as if this doesn’t feel the same, take all these Rectubers quitting for example (including me), I know over 50 of them all of them being familiar faces in the Rec Room scene but most of them have quit for the same reasons i feel. We don’t quit for no reason, we quit because the game we once loved and felt comfortable has now shapeshifted into a VR Roblox copy with ai slop and an unhappy community due to the big unnecessary changes. I’m sick of people trying to pretend the game is as good as it was, it isn’t.
