The Absolute State of Roblox Events

in what is likely the last event video on this channel... i speedrun The Games, the 3rd instalment in roblox's new era of events... and also perhaps the worst one yet

i go over games such as Bee Swarm Simulator, Arsenal, Dress To Impress, Blade Ball and more!

(this video is basically just a 25 minute long descent into insanity)

the events are currently incrementing by 150 badges per event, and with game devs being game devs let’s say you’d spend an 10 minutes per badge, that means at this rate if you want to 100% the next event, you’ll likely have to spend over 108 hours, or over 4 days and half days.

remember when we used to complain about 100 badges in the hunt?

Every new roblox event is like eating a really bad meal every 2 months

[woxderk]

the worst part is that they put YouTubers as a leading role in this event, making them say that this event was actually better.
kreekcraft actually tried to say that this event and the whole direction of roblox wasn't good but since he was a captain it's not like he could say bad things about the event even tho he knows how bad it is

[therichegglol]

The Hunt: 2 weeks and 100 badges
The classic: 1 week and 250 badges
The games: 1 week and 400 badges
That means that the next event will be 1 day long and it will have 1000 badges

I agree so much with this video. Events just feel so bland and unfun to play now, like all the games are chosen by profitability, which I'm pretty sure is why a lot of actually old games got declined from being added to the classic. I didn't play every game in the event, but out of the ones I did play the only one I found somewhat interesting was Arsenal. I really wish we could get something interesting again that isn't just made to appease investors.

In my opinion, we aren't getting anything close to old events until the community take initiative. Roblox have shown that they are incapable of making anything with soul in recent years, so somebody should step in for them and make a community event similar to beesmas. There's so much more that could be done with the concept now like UGC prizes etc.

They might as well just pay twin atlas for a real event rather than this BS, they already displayed their abilities to create Roblox events

After forcing myself to power through The Hunt, I couldn't get myself to complete The Classic, let alone TOUCH The Games. These events... They suck too much ass, they're basically ass black holes from how much ass they suck.

You were basically screwed from the start if you didn't choose the crimson cats. I remember near the start they had TWICE the number of points as the team in 2nd place

honestly same? doing this event just felt so horrible, it just felt like i just tried it out because i did the same thing with the other two, infact i stopped doing the event for like 2 days because i just wanted to give up on the event (i wasn't going for a 100% completion but still) and came back to try to get a score higher than 50%, the classic honestly just felt like the start of this, each game taking more than 1 hour, i didn't even have fun in it, the prizes were the only good part of it imo, honestly i wish they come back to the 1 badge per game format, i dont care if there are like 200 games or anything (as long as theres a reasonable timeframe)

This was the first event of The X trilogy where I decided to actually go for the leaderboard and I couldn't have picked a worse event to do so. Not only was this event hell to do because of the amount of bugs that were present, but the leaderboard didn't even work so my efforts were for pretty much nothing. The only time I had fun during the event was when I fell asleep for 30 minutes when doing Fashion Famous.I fully agree with this video and if I wasn't top 5 on the leaderboard for most of the event, I think I would've quit just like you did, because there's really not a point anymore, especially when Roblox barely QA test these events. I was wishing for events to come back since their removal in 2020, but now that they've returned, I'm wishing for their removal due to how sloppy they are. These events have so much potential, but instead of picking games that would put in as much effort as Arsenal or Michael's Zombies, Roblox just puts in games like "Shit in the toilet simulator" and that's the biggest flaw of this format.

[mrbagginz]

the games, for speedrunners, was so stupid. because as long as you beat it within 7 days (note some beat it within 3 days) you could be in first place because it was just based on how fast you defeated the boss. and the games (not the lobby) sucks

[pika]

no more dev hunts. it will always be the greedy devs that money pinch add p2w and premium payout farm. we need something in the style of 2012-2015 events.. but it probably wouldn’t hold the attention of todays roblox players. it’s fine though I’m just disappointed that these events can be really good if there were more restrictions on devs

[GCerulean]

I’m surprised how Arsenal was able to do one of the best quest in the events. ALL THREE “The” Roblox events, and how they’re all made with love and care from ROLVe.

[ChunkySeal]

I decided to speed run this Roblox event because I thought I could actually get on the leaderboards for once, so I pulled two all nighters with little sleep to complete all of the challenges landing 3rd place on the ninja team. I was excited that I got top 3 and then the timed quests came out and I fell all the way down to #14. I'm not going to 100% these events anymore either ESPECIALLY if they keep the timed quests.

[hashbrown]

The crazy thing is that most players seem to not realize how bad current events are. The idea of better events than this are so far back in the past that most people can’t conceptualize what good events are. The old stuff is now a distant memory. It’s as if Roblox planned this all along, to erase all memories of past events.

Btw since these modern events are basically dev hunts I’m referring to old events with egg hunts specifically. Just clarification.

[odhamm]

Been waiting for this guy to upload about this game, great vid really loved all the analysis and simple explanation of why this event in particular was the worse out of the 3, The hunt, The class, and now The games. Keep up this editing bruv, I'll continue on supporting.

[notoriginal_yt]

Events don't feel like events anymore. They've just essentially become a way for Roblox to promote already popular games, and if your game wasn't popular and is going to be in a Roblox "event" nowadays, it'd just be an ad of sorts to promote joining your game, no matter the quality. This isn't fun.

EDIT: Let me clarify what I mean by how "this isn't fun." Roblox Events in the past were fun because each felt unique to play in. Now, take a look at the last three events. Where's the uniqueness of these events? Nowhere. Roblox just made you go into a bunch of games, typically the popular ones(some of them were low quality simulators), and in those games, you just have to complete some quests. That sounds unique on paper (which it kind of was when The Hunt first released) until you realize that the last two events were just copies of The Hunt. That's... not unique, that's just unoriginality at its finest. The Hunt was just scheduled randomly before Easter. Like sure, you get an "egg" as a prize for completing all of those games, and some games had an "easter" theme to them, but it didn't feel like The Hunt was for Easter. The Classic was themed around the good old days of Roblox, which sounds good until you realize Roblox brought games from the modern day and told them to make it Retro. Well, if you wanted a theme around the classics, then why not have some more games from the actual classic era of Roblox? (Oh, and we can't forget about the final boss for that event. That boss sucked.) The Games was sports themed, and while it did fufill that (for the most part, like wth are rhythm games doing here) it still didn't feel unique due to it being a clone of The Classic which was a clone of The Hunt. And don't forget, the last two events were just scheduled to be in the spring and summer. Like... what and why? To summarize, Roblox Events lost their high level of fun to me because these events ultimately don't feel unique to me. Egg Hunts were fun back then because they were unique, each hunt being different from the last one, and the ways to obtain those eggs felt cool and awesome. You take a look at Roblox's current events, and you'll feel sisyphean trying to complete it, unlike back then, where it was fun to get those eggs. At this point, I might as well say that these events are just cash grabs for Roblox. This is just my opinion, and I am not mad at Roblox. I'm just very disappointed on how they're handling events.

[noobiedoesstuff]

Not gonna lie, as a person who 100% this event, it was PAINFUL as hell. Especially at games you have never played before. IM LOOKING AT YOU BOXING GAMES.
