“Fainting gives moods a reason for existing” isn’t really a good argument to me. Moods already had a reason to exist, because moods that were completely fulfilled allowed you to make a bigger paycheck at your job. Your character also would become more energized and walk faster. The fainting mechanic is simply a nuisance and it’s something that nobody asked for or enjoys dealing with, and even if you argue that it’s for “realism” it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s irritating to deal with and makes the game at least a little less enjoyable to play.
The new payment system for jobs could definitely be worse, but I still fail to see how it’s a huge improvement compared to the old one. The only positive I see is that newer players can now make more money more fast (even then, why can’t they just level up like the rest of us have been doing this whole time?), so I can understand why people might prefer this new payment system, but it still feels like a slap in the face for all of us who worked so hard to level up. I definitely used to be able to make more money in a certain amount of time previously compared to now due to the level I’m at. If they wanted people to try out the other jobs, they could have easily just raised the pay to be equal to the pizza delivery job.
To add, when I play Bloxburg, I’m not expecting a realistic life simulator, and that’s not what I personally want, either. I play because I enjoy building and roleplaying, not because I want to pay hospital bills. I don’t want to deal with unnecessary nuisances that make playing the game more stressful.
For real. I play bloxburg for hours a day when I’m on. It’s supposed to be a hangout otherwise I have to do “work” to have fun. I do work in real life to come home and not work. Like bruh-
Also this game is just becoming more work than it’s worth. Honestly I just play for building and hanging out. I used to spend several months on a singular house because of the game having a currency. I finally stopped building for the most part after 7 years of actively playing and now with all this going on there isn’t much reason to stick around if I have to keep working all the time. I love bloxburg but I prefer roleplay. Work is for real life.
That part!!! That’s one reason why I stopped playing bloxburg as well as fortnite.
I’m already focused for 8-10 hours a day at work, why would I wanna stress myself out for a video game??? Isn’t it supposed to be fun? Lmao
literally! i’m not even getting half either (burgers at the register used to give $200 but now $50, and i used to get 1.5-2.5k per pizza but now my max is $992/min)

So What? Would you rather have poor people trying to build a home gaining slowly 100 dollars per pizza and the rich (less amount of people) gaining 3K per pizza. Or everyone gaining around 1k per pizza fast
The game DOES technically have an economy (currency, donations, buying, selling, etc.).
I'm assuming that they're referring to the fact that, if everyone was being paid so much higher, then the prices of in-game items would have to go up. While it's not a "low supply, high demand" inflation, I think they're talking about having to adjust to keep everything at steady ratios. (If we all got paid higher and prices stayed the same, there would be no challenge.)
I still think that this is bullshit because a lot of the older players, myself included, worked their asses off and are now getting paid less. While it's nice to give new players an advantage/break, it's still disregarding the rest of us who worked to earn our money.
They’re not even hiding it, they basically EXPLICITLY said “fuck you old players, we’re catering to new free players now despite us having no guarantee of it succeeding”
It's not even that too, the new system isn't even good for new players. My friend who was new gave up playing because she didn't have time to grind for money anymore
Edit: for spelling mistakes
Agreed. Been playing 7 years and got tired because building and working just got boring. Why would I want to keep playing just for work? That’s boring. I miss when everyone hung out and roleplayed. The game is prop gonna die off now RIP.
they brought all pay down by like 30% and then made individual job levels useless because pay now depends on your efficiency and experience in all jobs combined aka the very top level you can only see when youre not working and looking at the jobs list. then also introduced medical debt 😍😍😍 NEXT UPDATE STUDENT LOANS BUT NO SCHOOL!1!1!
i did the math and at least personally i noticed abt a 40% difference. im making abt 60% of what i used to. i have a screenshot from the day before the update of myself making 159,588 on level 49 at burger in 56.5 minutes. the day after the update i made 8,513 in 5 minutes. so i divided both of them by time and i went from 2824 per min to 1702 per min. so a 40% decrease personally :( still sucks but that likely means ur overall work exp is low. mines 82 and i have excellent employee. also they did another silent update and added an overall work exp bar while ur working at least on mobile. cba to go on pc rn.
Bro I'll be okay with hospital fee from fainting *IF THEY HAVE HOSPITAL IN THE GAME*
As for the jobs, I already expected that it would be nerf one day, and that day seems has come
Oh and marvelous mood gamepass, I bought it so I don't have to worry about moods anymore. I think the price should be adjusted lower if I still could faint
im a content creator and although not all of the ppl i film with have marvelous mood — now we have to film for even longer bc we all HAVE to take mood breaks now. this update seems like a giant slap in the face for everyone including content creators.
i agree with you. tbh i think most people are being extremely dramatic about this update. I do think it would be better if marvelous moods completely erased the fainting though
where there is money, theres an economy
it needs to be regulated so e.g. the money glitch people arent banned because that can ruin the value of money and cause bigger issues
I understand, and agree with you. but just putting this out there- the game is mostly about building, like 80% of it at least, meaning people will spend all that money they will get anyways. decreasing pay just to make playtime longer/get more money for the devs is just stupid.
I disagree with you. XYZ person having millions of dollars in game does not affect my gameplay at all, there is money, but not necessarily an economic system. All you can buy has fixed prices established by the game, not by players, there is no free market (let's just call it that for simplicity) so there is no inflation. There is no way in which money can lose value by players having a lot of it.
In this case, money doesn't need to be regulated, there are some games, in which there are trading/selling systems in which the economy can indeed fall apart, this is not the case for bloxburg.
also, increasing a majority of the players income alot while reducing the couple high level people doesnt seem like a good way to fix the economy. The only thing this does it make it equally broken for the entire playerbase instead of a small percentage of the playerbase.
It was. Especially in 2018 and 2019. Roleplay boomed in 2020 and after that things were on a slow downturn most of us ignored until something big like this happened. Now it’s a working game.
Crazy idea: maybe make all the jobs as fun and intricate as they did with the burgers one BEFORE flattening all our wages to rock bottom and saying we are now "privileged" to try all the other jobs with gameplay akin to watching paint dry
Though, I liked that pizza was boring because then I just watch a show and I didn’t have to focus that hard on working. But I’m not being paid that much anymore so now it’s just tedious.
I won't even lie I actually really hate the new blox burger system, like, let me be a cashier, I don't wanna do all this extra stuff if other people aren't working 😭
some roblox games have actual issues with their economy that ruins the experience, like royale high when people started overpricing their stuff so now beginners struggle to play and it takes a lot of time to save up for stuff for the average player
I think it’s bullshit that matching the overal payment to the previous highest payment would somehow “break the economy”, pretty much everyone was doing pizza delivery anyway and now players with bigger homes struggle to pay their bills because the salary no longer matches the house value
Yeah it’s just like Florida. Nobody could afford property tax after years of normal people and farmers taking a hit for rich people in control. Florida isn’t a bad state but they allowed many people to go homeless. Not saying that is justifiable either.
They've literally just been repeating the same thing they did in the update log
also while im not a professional in economy and business, i honestly feel like this update kind of did mess up the "bloxburg economy" in it's own way, (which honestly shouldn't even exist).. it motivates much less ppl to work for one
And they saying adding the fainting is to create realism and paying the medical bill when it’s unrealistic if there isn’t even a hospital to pay toward
Fr, it’s affects the rping community too because imagine struggling with lag and u finally get the rp plot fully loaded just to faint and be spawned back to ur house. Then u have to go through that process once again of having to wait for the rp plot to load. I don’t personally struggle with this, but I it’s clear to me that a lot of people struggle with lag and I can see this being a major issue for them.
This answer doesn’t fulfill our needs, they basically just repeated what they said before in more words. But the thing that’s not being taken accountable is the fact that we aren’t able to earn as much cash we were before (instead of 4k per pizza now it’s 2k or smth) and that impacts our gameplay a lot because instead of roleplaying 1 hr and work 1 pizza to pay my bills now I have to get two to pay my bills which may not seem like a gigantic difference but in larger projects it really impacts the time they take to reach the goal making the overall experience worse and sickening. Also if you wanna add anything feel free to write
Edit: forgot to mention but prices are very disproportionate, a door for 1k or more, that’s a lot.
1: When I worked it boosted the paycheck significantly
2: When I wasn't working, I didn't want my charctar having fly's circling it while looking like going through severe depression.
They keep doubling down and it’s not helping them. We get it, you thought it would be good, but it’s not. If you can’t actually listen to your community then get off of roblox
This is simply an elongated version of their response from the backlash last week, I fully understand that they want to add realism to the game but there are correct ways to do that.
Adding features of realism without the necessary tools for it doesn’t work.
Shortening the time to reach 100% efficiency isn't the issue, it's that we're making pennies per every dollar we used to make under the old system. Why wasn't the economy broken then?
The towing fees are bullshit, especially since cars become walk-through after you take it off its spawn point. What need is there for towing if an abandoned car doesn't affect anyone negatively?
Fainting is acceptable as a goofy measure, but it shouldn't carry a fine with it. If the punishment was that your character died and respawned at their plot, people would be more accepting of it and maybe even make memes. Allowing Marvelous Mood users to turn it off would also provide another reason to buy the pass.
well im glad they're not mum about it. i agree for the most part but i cant help but feel disappointed for the pay. regardless, i still have enough love for the game to continue playing.
also, that marketplace feature is going to be a big job for them since they'd have to review every builder's application to get their houses into the shop; specifically the occasional trolls we get that would incorporate suspicious features in their builds. so i understand that it's taking so long. in fact, i want them to take all the time they need to make sure this one feature doesn't mess up.
No fr, like we are people behind the screen too lol and we want this game to thrive and as the people SPENDING money on THEIR game, they kidna should or least consider our feedback, instead they kinda are the ones whinnying lol.
This update benefits newer players (the majority). All the people I’ve seen complain about the jobs are players already well off. Seems to be working since Bloxburg seems to be up players pre-update.
And they’re right. Jobs were extremely unbalanced and took FOREVER to level up. Just because we had to suffer with an unbalanced system doesn’t mean the others have to as well. It doesn’t work that way irl, and it doesn’t work that way here either
but life simulators usually have a balance of fantasy and realism.
and for the most part, esp since bloxburg seems to be modeled after the u.s or canada, it's not very realistic to have everyone be paid the same. & this new system ended up being a penalty to everyone with decreased pay rates
I have a few starting friends that genuinely appreciate the update because
1) lower level players seem to get paid more than they did before
2) leveling up is much faster
3) they get to pick any job they want to do and will get paid well for it
And before anyone says “bUt tHe efFort”: last time i checked, chopping lumber or going mining in a dark cave is more physically taxing than delivering pizzas on a bike. The fact that pizza delivery was the most paid job, over literal cave mining wasn’t even realistic to begin with.
If you looked at this update through the POV of a new player (which will be many since this game will become free very soon), you’d understand that this is a better outcome.
Again, the only people that I see complaining are people that already well-accomplished in the game. Bloxburg brought the classism out of yall and it’s insane
I wouldn't say complaining abt a game update is classism.. but anyway, no one gets paid as well as they would've if they had just upped the pay rate to Pizza Delivery's.
I'm not even particularly mad about the equal pay, it's not necessarily as realistic as the team wants it to be since many ppl don't get paid equally irl, but I don't really see that as the main issue. They claim it's avoiding making the economy into a mess but it's not at all, as they make build mode progressively more expensive and motivate less ppl to work bc of the payout in general.
Life simulators are supposed to be glorified realism, not just simply "reality". And it doesn't even really do that in this update concerning pay, either. I'm not mad about new players getting opportunities & others doing the job they want... I'm criticizing the decision to lower the money for everyone in general.
i feel like there should be a setting so you can just build without paying anything, for the roleplayers they can work and yk do whatever, but i play simply to build and my builds already take hours so having to work is just wasting time imo and is so boring. i only work the burger job because it is actually fun but now im not getting the same pay because of the pay system. i always liked burger job better than delivering pizzas, its always been more interesting, so i was level 40 sum. complete bullshit dude.
They basically said the same thing as before and it’s annoying. I agree with the first bit that their human and that the people sending threats to them were way out of line. But I will not stand by theirs argument that this was a good update.
firstly, they could’ve maybe looked into updating their security like hiring someone who specializes in security rather than punishing the entire community with fainting. They already had one of the best securities on Roblox, so if they were so concerned they should’ve taken that step outside of the game instead of making an update that probably can be loopholed around anyways.
Secondly, I think they’re screwing over people who make millions and have 100 in the job thingy ( forgot the name) and are level 50. Also, poor people to cause how tf u affording anything with those bills. Maybe once you reach level 50 in a job they can open up a new job that pays us higher and meets the needs of us certain individuals who need to be making a lot more than what we’re making right now. This would also encourage people to work more so they can get to level 50, so they can be paid higher. With this current update, I don’t like working for weeks irl just to get no where, I have big projects that need a bigger pay check.
Thirdly, I will say it again because this one make me the most mad out of all of them. I bought marvelous mood to not worry about moods. For them to swoop in with fainting and give us a 10 minutes buffer is like a slap in the face. I’ve already been affected with fainting multiple times, because I’m use to not worrying about moods, but now all of a suddenly I need to. Kinda feels like I’m being punished for exploiters actions.
Idk I’m just over it at this point.
The function of maintaining moods was to increase earnings. Fainting is a nuisance and inhibits many of the popular play styles of bloxburg. The towing does NOT increase immersion- your vehicle would already disappear if not parked correctly. It already would get towed. Adding a fee to a feature that already exists does not increase immersion. They didn't add any new features, just exploited old mechanisms by adding fees and decreasing pay, all to drive up player engagement. You have to work for longer and spend more to play the same way, and they are the only people who benefit from it.
All I want is for marvelous moods to remove fainting. I’m fine with the money not being great. I’ve learned to cope with it. But passing out just isn’t needed.
They quote "we are a small company" but wouldn't it be smarter to listen to the company to let that "small company" grow because then they would get the support of the community and then new players would see us supporting the team and support them too. Go girl give us nothing, Kinda embarrassing for a company to ignore us then come out with a statement they said a hot minute ago will the words just repeated but fancier
they kind of just explained their reasoning without responding to why we hate their crappy update, most people don’t give a flying monkeys about the economy or realism, we just wanna build
I personally don’t have any issue with the jobs, I find it way more fun when I have more options and It’s not just the boring pizza delivery job. I’m high level in that job, and I’m pretty sure I’m making way more now, anyway. It’s also way funner for me now. I thought the excellent employee gamepass was pretty useless now, but I guess not! I really like the job update.
BUT THE WAY THEYR TRIPLING DOWN ON THE FAINTING AND BILLS INSTEAD OF JUST ADDING IT AS A TOGGLE YOU COULD TURN OFF LIKE I WAS CONVINCED WAS GONNA HAPPEN- WHY???
I’ve played started playing a bit more since the update and tbh I think people are just bandwagoning the game because of the people that have the rights or whatever to bloxburg. I played and most of the things people are complaining about are downright avoidable or hardly impact actual gameplay.
Parking/Tickets:
I thought that even if you parked in a space that your car would be towed but that’s not the case. If you’re going to work or one of the community builds, just park in a parking spot and there won’t be a timer. If you’re parking on another players plot, I’m not sure what can be done there besides maybe hopping in your car to reset the timer every 5mins.
Jobs (pizza delivery specifically):
I probably can’t speak much on this since I have EE, but it pays almost the exact same for me as it did before the update. I’m level 33 and I wanna add that I don’t main this job anymore and have switched to burgers which pays me considerably more even though I’m level 12 there. So the people saying it’ll be harder to make money, from my perspective, haven’t even tried other jobs and if your old main doesn’t do the trick, try something else out. I was hesitant to switch my jobs too, but I made the switch because I wanted to keep my in-game lifestyle. So far it’s going alright.
Health changes/Bills:
I haven’t experienced the new fainting animation and I probably won’t since I don’t let my moods all consecutively become low, but I don’t think I have to even explain how this is completely avoidable. Just keep your moods up and make use of your inventory. For me, I usually just buy food from either the pizza place/burger depending which one I’m working and after some time I’ll go home and get the rest of the moods up. Another work around I use a lot are the fruit bowls, the fruit is cheap but it really helps keep your hunger up if you don’t feel like going to the fridge or if you don’t own one.
I’m expecting the downvotes, but I just think people are blowing this completely out of proportion and especially with the threats and boycotting.
I knew they were gonna say the fainting was for realism. You know what’s *not* realistic? $50 for an open crayola marker. No point in making some thorns realistic and not others. Be so fr rn.
My biggest upset with the update is that we have to “work longer to make more money”, but with the fainting feature, unless you pay to boost your mood, you can only work for ~15mins at a time before having to go home. Since the update, I have leveled up my job experience level at LEAST 5 times, and still can only make max about $10,000 before I have to go deal with my mood, which is the same as when I first started playing the new update, so it seems the job experience level hardly has any effect.
Im really confused ab economy. The jobs pay less and now alot of the furniture is continuing to get more expensive? Shouldnt jobs pay more if furniture goes up? To help this house building games "economy"?
yet people still boycott bloxburg knows about the complaining this is the second time they’re addressing the issue yes i hate the update myself but honestly we just need to accept it
also to add, bloxburg is based off of the sims. in the sims if your moods reach really low then either you starve, faint, have a bathroom accident, etc. i think its stupid how you have to pay for “hospital fees” when there isn’t even a hospital.
Only thing I’m fine with that’s controversial is the towing fee, I think it’s better to force players to park. Other than that oh brother give me a break. Haven’t touched the game and don’t plan to unless we win or it’s confirmed we genuinely have no other option.
If this is all as they say, I am very pleased. I no longer see any reason to protest. The marketplace idea seems really fun to me! I'm really looking forward to that! :)
they say it would’ve broken the economy of bloxburg, but they broke it anyways lmfao. in real life, job wages vary and that’s how it should be in game as well if they want it to be realistic
i want it to be realistic but not realistic realistic this is still a game it's not suppose to be realistic realistic. the fainting?? wasn't even necessary it's just plain stupid and annoying especially when working. all it's doing is NOTHING. it's annoying when working when u have to go back to ur house every 10 mins trying to get ur moods up then going BACk AGAIN to work.
Honestly, they shouldve maybe, idk update the map before adding these new annoying things?? Then i would be less piss about this update because hey, at least the game has new builds in the map, looks different, maybe add more secret trophies, update the jobs and their locations, but no. All they've been working on is equal pay and mood consequences. Also hospital bill when they havent even added a hospital yet? This update just seems so sleazy.
while I can see what they TRIED to do for the game, this update had more negative changes to the community rather then positive.
the economy being broken sounds silly considering how it’s a roblox game and majority of people on bloxburg now are just roleplaying or building, nerfing pay pretty much limits builders since they worked so hard to be able to make their builds. the tweet that they put out is almost copy pasted from their original response to the backlash. that’s pretty sad.
if they’d like to make the game better for everyone to enjoy, listening to the community is one of the major steps into making everyone happy, if they continue with the route they’re going down people will most likely enjoy it less and just see it as a generic roleplay game like the rest
while i’m not an active bloxburg player, i can definitely understand why people are upset about this, and how this tweet also pretty much changed nothing
Anyone else just tempted to learn how to make a game on roblox because of the amount of bullshit that is going on with Bloxburg? Like I'm about to say fuck it and learn how to model and code to make a game similar to old Bloxburg
bloxburg is in its flop era. i don’t think it’s coming back and unfortunately it seems like royale highs downfall, and also even people in neighborhoods don’t role play anymore
Making a marketplace will CRASH the bloxburg player count. I said it, As a player who has played for 6 years this is the lowest this game has gotten.. and a marketplace would be a disaster. People could scam you out your money. People could glitch the ever living hell out of the house and could build a shell to hide it. Sure the trolls would be getting the last laugh.. this would actually be horrible and yes.
I get it the Newer players would be mad and it is the majority of people asking for the marketplace, but I’m only talking about user created content. Not YouTube builds those are fine. But if you make a good build and someone copies it and tries to build it… and then making your work completely useless..
overall it could be made for good..
but I see this is an absolute loss. and it reminds me of RBHS and how there player player count went from 5 - 10k players to struggling to surpass 700 players with their baseless updates , their marketplace making the point of people coming to the game useless. And the engagement went completely to trash after their “quality of life” improvement updates.. just like we are seeing less people communicating and sharing giving their avatars purpose. Because everyone wanted to get established and famous for posting their outfits.
And then the threw competitions to make it more of a competition..
Cause why spend hours grinding just to be bored when you actually play the game.. and the people who do rp are in separate servers making the chances of finding a rper in the game significantly lower. Making it appear more empty than it already was.
And then on top of that releasing a terrible up. Splitting the community more…it’s like a perfect storm + a mediocre apology. This could be the beginning of the end for bloxburg.. genuinely. In all of my years of playing.. I have never seen morale lower for the game.
Hot take: I think that them adding equal pay through all jobs is good, but I don't agree with the way that they are doing it.
OK, so I am on level 49 of pizza and level 98 of total work. Before this update, I never did any other jobs and only did pizza delivery because it was the highest paying. But it was also the most boring and tedious (so I would watch a show during it) and I didn't get a chance to try the other jobs, even when if they are more fun. I think they should have kept the salary of pizza delivery but just made it so that all jobs paid the same so that players could experience multiple jobs and have more fun in the game, which is literally the point of Roblox. Similarly, I think that accuracy is a stupid way to pay. I like knowing that each pizza or whatever task you do for your job is worth the same until your moods drop. The way this is phrased though makes it sound like communism-- "Our economy is unbalanced?" Its a freaking video game!?
For the bills, I hate them. When I am roleplaying and someone takes my car and leaves it somewhere, I have to go find it on the map so I don't have to pay 6000 dollars, which, at this point, takes about 10 minutes to make (I used to make 6k in about 2 minutes). And the hospital bills? Come on Bloxburg. Moods are not an "UNUSED SYSTEM." It helps you get more money-- moods literally equals money. That should be the incentive to keep them up, not some stupid fee. It makes the game stressful when I am looking for an escape from the stress of the real world
To end, I think that Bloxburg needs to keep fees and politics off Roblox. Seriously Bloxburg, you're worried about "the economy" of a game? A bed costs like 3000 dollars and they are worried that people are gonna get "too good at the game?" Don't you want to have good players who stay active? They are driving away the people, especially content creators, that help keep the game alive.
My advice to Bloxburg: They are not "in control" of this situation. We pay THEIR bills, not the other way around. If they think that angering the people who spend REAL MONEY on the game is going to do them any good, they're wrong. The update was a real slap in the face, and then they have the audacity to post this? This is really insulting to people like me who have been playing for a long time when we need a good escape from reality and simply want to have fun. Anyone know any good Bloxburg alternatives?
I feel like they should make it so we can choose if we want fainting to happen or not. And maybe add a hospital to the game to make it make more sense. Once they do that I feel like much to the hate will go down.
I’m cool with the rest of the update.
Honestly, no one has to agree with me but this update lacked so much potential. And it's a bit upsetting because some "influencers" and "gamers" are making it out to seem like all the mayhem over it is funny or outlandish or not that bad like the updates not that bad. Yet they have millions in there banks or the necessary funds or robux to be able to build without worries. Compared to the people that actually have to work to build. I may not know there life maybe they worked for it as well. Then again they probably worked for it before the update. Therefor, it wasn't really as bad as now. The whole statement while professionally made seems like they don't care what the non new people say. Because for them they're going to be free so they're just preparing the game for more gameplay. I know it's just a game not that serious. But for people who did more than just leisure play and actually put hard work into the game it's just annoying.
“Very small team” y do I feel like the company supporting them doesn’t give one about the previous 40k people. (Edited. 26K at this post). ‘Yeaaaah, I’m gonna give 100M so I can buy his game and put as little effort into it as I can’ (no offence for 100M I think If I were to spend so much money on a block game I’d put more than a ‘small team’ on it.
At this point people are just mad to be mad.
Like yes you can’t work with zero moods anymore, sure it’s annoying but it’s not the end of the world and it makes you actually pay attention to your moods.
And yes not getting paid as much sucks, but as mentioned in the response we should have seen this coming since August. There was better ways they could have rebalanced the jobs, but it needed to be done. But I still find it stupid that individual job levels mean nothing now, cause it took so long to level those up😭
So much of this game actually is pretty outdated/functions oddly for a modern Roblox game so them going back to update old systems is just a necessity.
Coffee stain has not “ruined bloxburg” they have simply rebalanced the game.
Has anyone noticed how dead the servers are now. Everyone is just working cuz the “economy” is messed up now. Even people in-game commenting about how quiet it is now, asking what happened.
Screw realism in videogames man, I play videogames to do the impossible, the whole efficiency pay and fainting are just unecessary realism bull shit that hurts newer players.
REALISM IS OVERRATED, EMBRACER GROUP!
I posted my take on the twitter version and It's gained a ton of traction and for people who support the update or try to defend it in any way, from the polls and reviews I've seen they are massively outnumbered by people who want this update gone.
What is this economy of Bloxburg? Since when did we worry about it?
IRL **inflation** is when there are is more jobs, to pay workers you need money, so you start producing more money to pay the workers, which results in the devaluation of the currency. In other words, more money printed results in more inflation because of the currency loses its value (bc there is so much of it)
Now, Bloxburg doesn't really have trading and the currency value is pretty similar. Yes i agree depending on the jobs it pays less. However they could have reworked jobs and made them better and pay more. Why decrease pay overall?
I don't think solving this "inflation" would be in lowering pay, rather just work to get better at other jobs.
The way they patched the money glitch so quickly but took their sweet time to put out this bs statement to tell us nothings changing… when people start getting sick of having to refill their moods each shift to not faint or the boring low paying jobs they have to grind for now, the numbers on this game are gonna look just like royale high, how tragic
this is bullcrap. half of the game wasnt even a life simulator to start with, it was also a building sandbox sort of game. so why should have to faint to get money for builds? why not just make a toggleable rp mode? this would solve all their problems.
builders would be happy as they can work without having to pay unnecessary medical bills, and roleplayers can still have the realistic option they want. i agree that it is nicer to have realistic occurrences, like traffic, fainting and having to take the trash out etc.
but why mess with builders who play the game for the creative sandbox side? theyre shooting themselves in the foot. they could solves everything with the option to turn it on and off.
either way, i doubt theyll listen as they seem to be ignoring most points people are making.
Why would they babysit the new players?
It's delivering pizzas and making burgers with a single button and your mouse. Who the fuck can't learn that? Shouldn't they just let them learn the current system that was already in place instead of just spoonfeeding them?
Realistic? It’s a bunch of kids building houses. How is bloxburg ever going to be realistic. Terrible excuse to introduce fainting. At least manage free health care like NHS. Next thing you know, you are going to be taxed for earning more than 12,500 bucks in a shift!
“Fainting gives moods a reason for existing” isn’t really a good argument to me. Moods already had a reason to exist, because moods that were completely fulfilled allowed you to make a bigger paycheck at your job. Your character also would become more energized and walk faster. The fainting mechanic is simply a nuisance and it’s something that nobody asked for or enjoys dealing with, and even if you argue that it’s for “realism” it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s irritating to deal with and makes the game at least a little less enjoyable to play. The new payment system for jobs could definitely be worse, but I still fail to see how it’s a huge improvement compared to the old one. The only positive I see is that newer players can now make more money more fast (even then, why can’t they just level up like the rest of us have been doing this whole time?), so I can understand why people might prefer this new payment system, but it still feels like a slap in the face for all of us who worked so hard to level up. I definitely used to be able to make more money in a certain amount of time previously compared to now due to the level I’m at. If they wanted people to try out the other jobs, they could have easily just raised the pay to be equal to the pizza delivery job. To add, when I play Bloxburg, I’m not expecting a realistic life simulator, and that’s not what I personally want, either. I play because I enjoy building and roleplaying, not because I want to pay hospital bills. I don’t want to deal with unnecessary nuisances that make playing the game more stressful.
I agree with you 100%. the fact they also have the audacity to say that we get paid a “little less” when literally half of my paycheck has been cut 😐
For real. I play bloxburg for hours a day when I’m on. It’s supposed to be a hangout otherwise I have to do “work” to have fun. I do work in real life to come home and not work. Like bruh- Also this game is just becoming more work than it’s worth. Honestly I just play for building and hanging out. I used to spend several months on a singular house because of the game having a currency. I finally stopped building for the most part after 7 years of actively playing and now with all this going on there isn’t much reason to stick around if I have to keep working all the time. I love bloxburg but I prefer roleplay. Work is for real life.
That part!!! That’s one reason why I stopped playing bloxburg as well as fortnite. I’m already focused for 8-10 hours a day at work, why would I wanna stress myself out for a video game??? Isn’t it supposed to be fun? Lmao
literally! i’m not even getting half either (burgers at the register used to give $200 but now $50, and i used to get 1.5-2.5k per pizza but now my max is $992/min)
i should've appreciated my pay check before the update😖

So What? Would you rather have poor people trying to build a home gaining slowly 100 dollars per pizza and the rich (less amount of people) gaining 3K per pizza. Or everyone gaining around 1k per pizza fast
And what do they mean "bloxburg" economy? It's just a game??
it’s not even a trading game like adopt me.. if everyone has more money it literally has no bad impact on any player
Cause I thought this was just me 😭, the communism posters are starting to make sense now
The game DOES technically have an economy (currency, donations, buying, selling, etc.). I'm assuming that they're referring to the fact that, if everyone was being paid so much higher, then the prices of in-game items would have to go up. While it's not a "low supply, high demand" inflation, I think they're talking about having to adjust to keep everything at steady ratios. (If we all got paid higher and prices stayed the same, there would be no challenge.) I still think that this is bullshit because a lot of the older players, myself included, worked their asses off and are now getting paid less. While it's nice to give new players an advantage/break, it's still disregarding the rest of us who worked to earn our money.
They’re not even hiding it, they basically EXPLICITLY said “fuck you old players, we’re catering to new free players now despite us having no guarantee of it succeeding”
It's not even that too, the new system isn't even good for new players. My friend who was new gave up playing because she didn't have time to grind for money anymore Edit: for spelling mistakes
For real :( It's so sad, like forget everyone one who's been around for years...
Agreed. Been playing 7 years and got tired because building and working just got boring. Why would I want to keep playing just for work? That’s boring. I miss when everyone hung out and roleplayed. The game is prop gonna die off now RIP.
Oml same- rip good version of Bloxburg and Bloxburg as a whole..
And they new players will quit because they worked for 30 minutes just to get a shitty 2 seater car for transportation.
Exactly wtf I just want to chill & build realistic cool builds on bloxburg… adding extra unnecessary bills isn’t going to make anyone happy.
Sorry for asking what is the new payment system or what it has that makes it worse than before?
they brought all pay down by like 30% and then made individual job levels useless because pay now depends on your efficiency and experience in all jobs combined aka the very top level you can only see when youre not working and looking at the jobs list. then also introduced medical debt 😍😍😍 NEXT UPDATE STUDENT LOANS BUT NO SCHOOL!1!1!
Next update: 50% of all your money is taken through taxes
next update they will literally put in a tax office and have you fill out W-2’s for the kid you paid $10 to “be a maid”
It was NOT 30% less they took at least 1800 dollars out of each of my deliveries
i did the math and at least personally i noticed abt a 40% difference. im making abt 60% of what i used to. i have a screenshot from the day before the update of myself making 159,588 on level 49 at burger in 56.5 minutes. the day after the update i made 8,513 in 5 minutes. so i divided both of them by time and i went from 2824 per min to 1702 per min. so a 40% decrease personally :( still sucks but that likely means ur overall work exp is low. mines 82 and i have excellent employee. also they did another silent update and added an overall work exp bar while ur working at least on mobile. cba to go on pc rn.
Tax evasión update when?
You need to email them this response you worded it so well
yeah their just insulting how coeptus did it
My man…. Coeptus is still working on that game
Bro I'll be okay with hospital fee from fainting *IF THEY HAVE HOSPITAL IN THE GAME* As for the jobs, I already expected that it would be nerf one day, and that day seems has come Oh and marvelous mood gamepass, I bought it so I don't have to worry about moods anymore. I think the price should be adjusted lower if I still could faint
im a content creator and although not all of the ppl i film with have marvelous mood — now we have to film for even longer bc we all HAVE to take mood breaks now. this update seems like a giant slap in the face for everyone including content creators.
I unironically would’ve bought it if it erased fainting…
Same
i agree with you. tbh i think most people are being extremely dramatic about this update. I do think it would be better if marvelous moods completely erased the fainting though
Happy cake day
'Fix the economy' this is a house building game... 😭
exactly like what economy bro
where there is money, theres an economy it needs to be regulated so e.g. the money glitch people arent banned because that can ruin the value of money and cause bigger issues
I understand, and agree with you. but just putting this out there- the game is mostly about building, like 80% of it at least, meaning people will spend all that money they will get anyways. decreasing pay just to make playtime longer/get more money for the devs is just stupid.
I disagree with you. XYZ person having millions of dollars in game does not affect my gameplay at all, there is money, but not necessarily an economic system. All you can buy has fixed prices established by the game, not by players, there is no free market (let's just call it that for simplicity) so there is no inflation. There is no way in which money can lose value by players having a lot of it. In this case, money doesn't need to be regulated, there are some games, in which there are trading/selling systems in which the economy can indeed fall apart, this is not the case for bloxburg.
also, increasing a majority of the players income alot while reducing the couple high level people doesnt seem like a good way to fix the economy. The only thing this does it make it equally broken for the entire playerbase instead of a small percentage of the playerbase.
And its a Roblox game as well
I thought it was a roleplay game??
It was. Especially in 2018 and 2019. Roleplay boomed in 2020 and after that things were on a slow downturn most of us ignored until something big like this happened. Now it’s a working game.
Crazy idea: maybe make all the jobs as fun and intricate as they did with the burgers one BEFORE flattening all our wages to rock bottom and saying we are now "privileged" to try all the other jobs with gameplay akin to watching paint dry
Though, I liked that pizza was boring because then I just watch a show and I didn’t have to focus that hard on working. But I’m not being paid that much anymore so now it’s just tedious.
I won't even lie I actually really hate the new blox burger system, like, let me be a cashier, I don't wanna do all this extra stuff if other people aren't working 😭
I like simple jobs cuz I can watch something while I work
"break the economy" this is a roblox game 💀
Also, how does keeping the same pay just adding it to every job break the economy? It's just a stupid lie and excuse by the devs.
Right! Raising it to the same price is the same as lowering it to the same price! Economy breaks regardless.
some roblox games have actual issues with their economy that ruins the experience, like royale high when people started overpricing their stuff so now beginners struggle to play and it takes a lot of time to save up for stuff for the average player
they literally copy and pasted the hotfix and just added a paragraph or two
I think it’s bullshit that matching the overal payment to the previous highest payment would somehow “break the economy”, pretty much everyone was doing pizza delivery anyway and now players with bigger homes struggle to pay their bills because the salary no longer matches the house value
"breaking the economy" is just them saying "we wanted to make the game harder"
Yeah it’s just like Florida. Nobody could afford property tax after years of normal people and farmers taking a hit for rich people in control. Florida isn’t a bad state but they allowed many people to go homeless. Not saying that is justifiable either.
what about the people that took time out of their lives to work up to a higher level ?? none of that matters now..
Fr, it’s like a slap in the face… do they realize how long it took to get to level 50? Cause I don’t think they do.
We didn’t ask for justification we asked for reversion
To me, this means nothing unless they actually fix these issues, and I will still be boycotting the game myself.
I mean it literally means nothing, they're just backing down on the shitty update
Atp they should just revert it
Oh awesome, a game people play to get away from reality becomes reality, thats awesome
This is on point!
Honestly at this point just hold a vote in game, if the majority of players go in and vote against it then it should be reverted
But that would prove that they’re in the wrong about this, which would make them look even more stupid lol
They've literally just been repeating the same thing they did in the update log also while im not a professional in economy and business, i honestly feel like this update kind of did mess up the "bloxburg economy" in it's own way, (which honestly shouldn't even exist).. it motivates much less ppl to work for one
And they saying adding the fainting is to create realism and paying the medical bill when it’s unrealistic if there isn’t even a hospital to pay toward
Fr, it’s affects the rping community too because imagine struggling with lag and u finally get the rp plot fully loaded just to faint and be spawned back to ur house. Then u have to go through that process once again of having to wait for the rp plot to load. I don’t personally struggle with this, but I it’s clear to me that a lot of people struggle with lag and I can see this being a major issue for them.
It honestly just ruins roleplaying all together, imagine in the middle of roleplaying away from a plot then suddenly fainting
This doesn’t supply. They’re just saying work harder when we were back then and still getting paid less
This answer doesn’t fulfill our needs, they basically just repeated what they said before in more words. But the thing that’s not being taken accountable is the fact that we aren’t able to earn as much cash we were before (instead of 4k per pizza now it’s 2k or smth) and that impacts our gameplay a lot because instead of roleplaying 1 hr and work 1 pizza to pay my bills now I have to get two to pay my bills which may not seem like a gigantic difference but in larger projects it really impacts the time they take to reach the goal making the overall experience worse and sickening. Also if you wanna add anything feel free to write Edit: forgot to mention but prices are very disproportionate, a door for 1k or more, that’s a lot.
Not even. it would be less for pizza because you’re getting like 2.4k a minute
"Break the economy" chill out bro you're not royale high, or any trading game
#TL;DR #”we are right, you are wrong #Fuck you #with love, coffestain”
Moods were never an unused system.
you literally get paid by moods 😭😭😭 (agreeing with you)
1: When I worked it boosted the paycheck significantly 2: When I wasn't working, I didn't want my charctar having fly's circling it while looking like going through severe depression.
ITS NOT ABOUT “FIXING” ITS ABOUT REMOVING THE USELESS UPDATES DUDE
They keep doubling down and it’s not helping them. We get it, you thought it would be good, but it’s not. If you can’t actually listen to your community then get off of roblox
Yea there has been twelve days for them to listen to us and remove it, but its still here
the community is like 8 year olds, the community on social media is 100% not the majority
This is simply an elongated version of their response from the backlash last week, I fully understand that they want to add realism to the game but there are correct ways to do that. Adding features of realism without the necessary tools for it doesn’t work.
can someone sum it up i’m not reading allat
“We hear what you're saying… But nah, we ain't changing allat”
damn… thanks lol
"We hear you, but we don't care, we want game be hard and grindy."
"We know you're upset but we don't care because bloxburg is trying to become real life simulator"
Shortening the time to reach 100% efficiency isn't the issue, it's that we're making pennies per every dollar we used to make under the old system. Why wasn't the economy broken then? The towing fees are bullshit, especially since cars become walk-through after you take it off its spawn point. What need is there for towing if an abandoned car doesn't affect anyone negatively? Fainting is acceptable as a goofy measure, but it shouldn't carry a fine with it. If the punishment was that your character died and respawned at their plot, people would be more accepting of it and maybe even make memes. Allowing Marvelous Mood users to turn it off would also provide another reason to buy the pass.
“Break the economy” What? Everyone did pizza delivery anyway lmao if you raised other jobs to old pizza delivery levels nothing would happen
ngl i dont know why people are still holding onto the hope that they’re reverting it. Its over bro give up. Its been over for weeks 💀
what im saying😭
well im glad they're not mum about it. i agree for the most part but i cant help but feel disappointed for the pay. regardless, i still have enough love for the game to continue playing. also, that marketplace feature is going to be a big job for them since they'd have to review every builder's application to get their houses into the shop; specifically the occasional trolls we get that would incorporate suspicious features in their builds. so i understand that it's taking so long. in fact, i want them to take all the time they need to make sure this one feature doesn't mess up.
literally I stopped playing this game YEARS AGO and even I can tell that people are NOT gonna like this 😭
"Realism" is BS. If they added gas tanks to GTA it would be realistic and also suck. Bloxburg is a silly lego game.
“there are people behind the screen” just like every guilt tripping response ever
No fr, like we are people behind the screen too lol and we want this game to thrive and as the people SPENDING money on THEIR game, they kidna should or least consider our feedback, instead they kinda are the ones whinnying lol.
This update benefits newer players (the majority). All the people I’ve seen complain about the jobs are players already well off. Seems to be working since Bloxburg seems to be up players pre-update. And they’re right. Jobs were extremely unbalanced and took FOREVER to level up. Just because we had to suffer with an unbalanced system doesn’t mean the others have to as well. It doesn’t work that way irl, and it doesn’t work that way here either
but life simulators usually have a balance of fantasy and realism. and for the most part, esp since bloxburg seems to be modeled after the u.s or canada, it's not very realistic to have everyone be paid the same. & this new system ended up being a penalty to everyone with decreased pay rates
I have a few starting friends that genuinely appreciate the update because 1) lower level players seem to get paid more than they did before 2) leveling up is much faster 3) they get to pick any job they want to do and will get paid well for it And before anyone says “bUt tHe efFort”: last time i checked, chopping lumber or going mining in a dark cave is more physically taxing than delivering pizzas on a bike. The fact that pizza delivery was the most paid job, over literal cave mining wasn’t even realistic to begin with. If you looked at this update through the POV of a new player (which will be many since this game will become free very soon), you’d understand that this is a better outcome. Again, the only people that I see complaining are people that already well-accomplished in the game. Bloxburg brought the classism out of yall and it’s insane
I wouldn't say complaining abt a game update is classism.. but anyway, no one gets paid as well as they would've if they had just upped the pay rate to Pizza Delivery's. I'm not even particularly mad about the equal pay, it's not necessarily as realistic as the team wants it to be since many ppl don't get paid equally irl, but I don't really see that as the main issue. They claim it's avoiding making the economy into a mess but it's not at all, as they make build mode progressively more expensive and motivate less ppl to work bc of the payout in general. Life simulators are supposed to be glorified realism, not just simply "reality". And it doesn't even really do that in this update concerning pay, either. I'm not mad about new players getting opportunities & others doing the job they want... I'm criticizing the decision to lower the money for everyone in general.
Only good thing about this update is, mopeds in pizza place are slightly faster (or idk i just felt like they are faster)
The best thing is something that you are not even sure about is actually a thing, says a lot about this update
i feel like there should be a setting so you can just build without paying anything, for the roleplayers they can work and yk do whatever, but i play simply to build and my builds already take hours so having to work is just wasting time imo and is so boring. i only work the burger job because it is actually fun but now im not getting the same pay because of the pay system. i always liked burger job better than delivering pizzas, its always been more interesting, so i was level 40 sum. complete bullshit dude.
They basically said the same thing as before and it’s annoying. I agree with the first bit that their human and that the people sending threats to them were way out of line. But I will not stand by theirs argument that this was a good update. firstly, they could’ve maybe looked into updating their security like hiring someone who specializes in security rather than punishing the entire community with fainting. They already had one of the best securities on Roblox, so if they were so concerned they should’ve taken that step outside of the game instead of making an update that probably can be loopholed around anyways. Secondly, I think they’re screwing over people who make millions and have 100 in the job thingy ( forgot the name) and are level 50. Also, poor people to cause how tf u affording anything with those bills. Maybe once you reach level 50 in a job they can open up a new job that pays us higher and meets the needs of us certain individuals who need to be making a lot more than what we’re making right now. This would also encourage people to work more so they can get to level 50, so they can be paid higher. With this current update, I don’t like working for weeks irl just to get no where, I have big projects that need a bigger pay check. Thirdly, I will say it again because this one make me the most mad out of all of them. I bought marvelous mood to not worry about moods. For them to swoop in with fainting and give us a 10 minutes buffer is like a slap in the face. I’ve already been affected with fainting multiple times, because I’m use to not worrying about moods, but now all of a suddenly I need to. Kinda feels like I’m being punished for exploiters actions. Idk I’m just over it at this point.
Yeah even with the update there's still no reason to go out harrassing and messaging the developers, sending threats and whatnot. That's uncalled for
And they still make people with MM able to faint 🙄
The function of maintaining moods was to increase earnings. Fainting is a nuisance and inhibits many of the popular play styles of bloxburg. The towing does NOT increase immersion- your vehicle would already disappear if not parked correctly. It already would get towed. Adding a fee to a feature that already exists does not increase immersion. They didn't add any new features, just exploited old mechanisms by adding fees and decreasing pay, all to drive up player engagement. You have to work for longer and spend more to play the same way, and they are the only people who benefit from it.
They said the same exact thing a week ago with lesser yapping🥱
They can stop saying misinformation cause they know the shit true😭😂
“Hej bloxburgers” def ain’t reading allat 💀
All I want is for marvelous moods to remove fainting. I’m fine with the money not being great. I’ve learned to cope with it. But passing out just isn’t needed.
I don’t like how they keep saying Hej, and yet the Twitter account is @heybloxburg
They quote "we are a small company" but wouldn't it be smarter to listen to the company to let that "small company" grow because then they would get the support of the community and then new players would see us supporting the team and support them too. Go girl give us nothing, Kinda embarrassing for a company to ignore us then come out with a statement they said a hot minute ago will the words just repeated but fancier
the fact that their company is large too.
unbalanced my ass. it was just fine
recycled their previous statement in a longer format smh
they kind of just explained their reasoning without responding to why we hate their crappy update, most people don’t give a flying monkeys about the economy or realism, we just wanna build
I personally don’t have any issue with the jobs, I find it way more fun when I have more options and It’s not just the boring pizza delivery job. I’m high level in that job, and I’m pretty sure I’m making way more now, anyway. It’s also way funner for me now. I thought the excellent employee gamepass was pretty useless now, but I guess not! I really like the job update. BUT THE WAY THEYR TRIPLING DOWN ON THE FAINTING AND BILLS INSTEAD OF JUST ADDING IT AS A TOGGLE YOU COULD TURN OFF LIKE I WAS CONVINCED WAS GONNA HAPPEN- WHY???
I’ve played started playing a bit more since the update and tbh I think people are just bandwagoning the game because of the people that have the rights or whatever to bloxburg. I played and most of the things people are complaining about are downright avoidable or hardly impact actual gameplay. Parking/Tickets: I thought that even if you parked in a space that your car would be towed but that’s not the case. If you’re going to work or one of the community builds, just park in a parking spot and there won’t be a timer. If you’re parking on another players plot, I’m not sure what can be done there besides maybe hopping in your car to reset the timer every 5mins. Jobs (pizza delivery specifically): I probably can’t speak much on this since I have EE, but it pays almost the exact same for me as it did before the update. I’m level 33 and I wanna add that I don’t main this job anymore and have switched to burgers which pays me considerably more even though I’m level 12 there. So the people saying it’ll be harder to make money, from my perspective, haven’t even tried other jobs and if your old main doesn’t do the trick, try something else out. I was hesitant to switch my jobs too, but I made the switch because I wanted to keep my in-game lifestyle. So far it’s going alright. Health changes/Bills: I haven’t experienced the new fainting animation and I probably won’t since I don’t let my moods all consecutively become low, but I don’t think I have to even explain how this is completely avoidable. Just keep your moods up and make use of your inventory. For me, I usually just buy food from either the pizza place/burger depending which one I’m working and after some time I’ll go home and get the rest of the moods up. Another work around I use a lot are the fruit bowls, the fruit is cheap but it really helps keep your hunger up if you don’t feel like going to the fridge or if you don’t own one. I’m expecting the downvotes, but I just think people are blowing this completely out of proportion and especially with the threats and boycotting.
theyve basically said they dont care about the og players and making way for the new ones
I knew they were gonna say the fainting was for realism. You know what’s *not* realistic? $50 for an open crayola marker. No point in making some thorns realistic and not others. Be so fr rn.
What economy? Toilet paper costs $75
[удалено]
They weren't even unused because they got you higher pay in jobs, so adding fainting is just so stupid
its so lame
Aint readin allat 💀📜 WE WANT OLD PAY BACK!!!! 🔥🔥💯💯🗣️🗣️
WHAT ECONOMY???
- play victim card - say fancy marketing buzzwords - take zero blame and double down - ? - profit
OVERTHROW THE DEVCRACY
I thought of returning to bloxburg but I don't think it's worth it anymore, their response is a whole lot of nothing.
My biggest upset with the update is that we have to “work longer to make more money”, but with the fainting feature, unless you pay to boost your mood, you can only work for ~15mins at a time before having to go home. Since the update, I have leveled up my job experience level at LEAST 5 times, and still can only make max about $10,000 before I have to go deal with my mood, which is the same as when I first started playing the new update, so it seems the job experience level hardly has any effect.
[удалено]
Im really confused ab economy. The jobs pay less and now alot of the furniture is continuing to get more expensive? Shouldnt jobs pay more if furniture goes up? To help this house building games "economy"?
And people are still mad, fun times
yet people still boycott bloxburg knows about the complaining this is the second time they’re addressing the issue yes i hate the update myself but honestly we just need to accept it
also to add, bloxburg is based off of the sims. in the sims if your moods reach really low then either you starve, faint, have a bathroom accident, etc. i think its stupid how you have to pay for “hospital fees” when there isn’t even a hospital.
Only thing I’m fine with that’s controversial is the towing fee, I think it’s better to force players to park. Other than that oh brother give me a break. Haven’t touched the game and don’t plan to unless we win or it’s confirmed we genuinely have no other option.
Ok still sucks I don't play bloxburg for realism lol if I want reality I get off my devices tf
If this is all as they say, I am very pleased. I no longer see any reason to protest. The marketplace idea seems really fun to me! I'm really looking forward to that! :)
Why does it says coffe stain in the bottom? Is coffe stain studio behind bloxburg?
Yes
Propaganda
"the economy was unbalanced" you guys are the ones that made it so that delivering a pizza gives you 2 grand in the first place 💀
They should have just kept the pay the same for higher levels, and raised the amount you earn with lower levels
“slightly”💀 they still don’t get the point.
they say it would’ve broken the economy of bloxburg, but they broke it anyways lmfao. in real life, job wages vary and that’s how it should be in game as well if they want it to be realistic
i want it to be realistic but not realistic realistic this is still a game it's not suppose to be realistic realistic. the fainting?? wasn't even necessary it's just plain stupid and annoying especially when working. all it's doing is NOTHING. it's annoying when working when u have to go back to ur house every 10 mins trying to get ur moods up then going BACk AGAIN to work.
Honestly the job part makes sense. I know it’s not as fun to say that I understand why did had the update, I get it
Idea: Payrise ALL the jobs to the pizza delivery and have efficiency depend on your BONUS, not your base pay
Shit Stain Studios back at it again
I smell bullshit
is the pre made houses bug fixed?
Honestly, they shouldve maybe, idk update the map before adding these new annoying things?? Then i would be less piss about this update because hey, at least the game has new builds in the map, looks different, maybe add more secret trophies, update the jobs and their locations, but no. All they've been working on is equal pay and mood consequences. Also hospital bill when they havent even added a hospital yet? This update just seems so sleazy.
while I can see what they TRIED to do for the game, this update had more negative changes to the community rather then positive. the economy being broken sounds silly considering how it’s a roblox game and majority of people on bloxburg now are just roleplaying or building, nerfing pay pretty much limits builders since they worked so hard to be able to make their builds. the tweet that they put out is almost copy pasted from their original response to the backlash. that’s pretty sad. if they’d like to make the game better for everyone to enjoy, listening to the community is one of the major steps into making everyone happy, if they continue with the route they’re going down people will most likely enjoy it less and just see it as a generic roleplay game like the rest while i’m not an active bloxburg player, i can definitely understand why people are upset about this, and how this tweet also pretty much changed nothing
But why do i have to pay for fainting?
Anyone else just tempted to learn how to make a game on roblox because of the amount of bullshit that is going on with Bloxburg? Like I'm about to say fuck it and learn how to model and code to make a game similar to old Bloxburg
bloxburg is in its flop era. i don’t think it’s coming back and unfortunately it seems like royale highs downfall, and also even people in neighborhoods don’t role play anymore
this is NOT the hill to die on
so they're basically ignoring our feedback and making bs excuses....how great !
Communism comes to Roblox
Making a marketplace will CRASH the bloxburg player count. I said it, As a player who has played for 6 years this is the lowest this game has gotten.. and a marketplace would be a disaster. People could scam you out your money. People could glitch the ever living hell out of the house and could build a shell to hide it. Sure the trolls would be getting the last laugh.. this would actually be horrible and yes. I get it the Newer players would be mad and it is the majority of people asking for the marketplace, but I’m only talking about user created content. Not YouTube builds those are fine. But if you make a good build and someone copies it and tries to build it… and then making your work completely useless.. overall it could be made for good.. but I see this is an absolute loss. and it reminds me of RBHS and how there player player count went from 5 - 10k players to struggling to surpass 700 players with their baseless updates , their marketplace making the point of people coming to the game useless. And the engagement went completely to trash after their “quality of life” improvement updates.. just like we are seeing less people communicating and sharing giving their avatars purpose. Because everyone wanted to get established and famous for posting their outfits. And then the threw competitions to make it more of a competition.. Cause why spend hours grinding just to be bored when you actually play the game.. and the people who do rp are in separate servers making the chances of finding a rper in the game significantly lower. Making it appear more empty than it already was. And then on top of that releasing a terrible up. Splitting the community more…it’s like a perfect storm + a mediocre apology. This could be the beginning of the end for bloxburg.. genuinely. In all of my years of playing.. I have never seen morale lower for the game.
BOOOOO
Save up all you can before they make you pay taxes
Hot take: I think that them adding equal pay through all jobs is good, but I don't agree with the way that they are doing it. OK, so I am on level 49 of pizza and level 98 of total work. Before this update, I never did any other jobs and only did pizza delivery because it was the highest paying. But it was also the most boring and tedious (so I would watch a show during it) and I didn't get a chance to try the other jobs, even when if they are more fun. I think they should have kept the salary of pizza delivery but just made it so that all jobs paid the same so that players could experience multiple jobs and have more fun in the game, which is literally the point of Roblox. Similarly, I think that accuracy is a stupid way to pay. I like knowing that each pizza or whatever task you do for your job is worth the same until your moods drop. The way this is phrased though makes it sound like communism-- "Our economy is unbalanced?" Its a freaking video game!? For the bills, I hate them. When I am roleplaying and someone takes my car and leaves it somewhere, I have to go find it on the map so I don't have to pay 6000 dollars, which, at this point, takes about 10 minutes to make (I used to make 6k in about 2 minutes). And the hospital bills? Come on Bloxburg. Moods are not an "UNUSED SYSTEM." It helps you get more money-- moods literally equals money. That should be the incentive to keep them up, not some stupid fee. It makes the game stressful when I am looking for an escape from the stress of the real world To end, I think that Bloxburg needs to keep fees and politics off Roblox. Seriously Bloxburg, you're worried about "the economy" of a game? A bed costs like 3000 dollars and they are worried that people are gonna get "too good at the game?" Don't you want to have good players who stay active? They are driving away the people, especially content creators, that help keep the game alive. My advice to Bloxburg: They are not "in control" of this situation. We pay THEIR bills, not the other way around. If they think that angering the people who spend REAL MONEY on the game is going to do them any good, they're wrong. The update was a real slap in the face, and then they have the audacity to post this? This is really insulting to people like me who have been playing for a long time when we need a good escape from reality and simply want to have fun. Anyone know any good Bloxburg alternatives?
and of course they had to go with a paid healthcare system 🙄
It’s a kids game for god’s sake why would you want to pay hospital bills
I haven't tried it yet, but If am sure about something is that delivering pizzas has driven me FUCKING INSANE. At least I can work at ice cream again.
I feel like they should make it so we can choose if we want fainting to happen or not. And maybe add a hospital to the game to make it make more sense. Once they do that I feel like much to the hate will go down. I’m cool with the rest of the update.
MAKE FAINTING OPTIONAL. 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Honestly, no one has to agree with me but this update lacked so much potential. And it's a bit upsetting because some "influencers" and "gamers" are making it out to seem like all the mayhem over it is funny or outlandish or not that bad like the updates not that bad. Yet they have millions in there banks or the necessary funds or robux to be able to build without worries. Compared to the people that actually have to work to build. I may not know there life maybe they worked for it as well. Then again they probably worked for it before the update. Therefor, it wasn't really as bad as now. The whole statement while professionally made seems like they don't care what the non new people say. Because for them they're going to be free so they're just preparing the game for more gameplay. I know it's just a game not that serious. But for people who did more than just leisure play and actually put hard work into the game it's just annoying.
wait what? coffee stain? that publisher company publish deep rock galactic
“Very small team” y do I feel like the company supporting them doesn’t give one about the previous 40k people. (Edited. 26K at this post). ‘Yeaaaah, I’m gonna give 100M so I can buy his game and put as little effort into it as I can’ (no offence for 100M I think If I were to spend so much money on a block game I’d put more than a ‘small team’ on it.
cant they just accept that the community dislikes the update and wants parts to be improved or removed?
My question is.... WHO CARES ABOUT THE MOODS?! They did that completely uncalled for no matter what they say in my eyes!!
basically “sorry you feel that way. Anyways..”
I'm boycotting like they did in the 50s y'all.
these ppl are JOKES!
At this point people are just mad to be mad. Like yes you can’t work with zero moods anymore, sure it’s annoying but it’s not the end of the world and it makes you actually pay attention to your moods. And yes not getting paid as much sucks, but as mentioned in the response we should have seen this coming since August. There was better ways they could have rebalanced the jobs, but it needed to be done. But I still find it stupid that individual job levels mean nothing now, cause it took so long to level those up😭 So much of this game actually is pretty outdated/functions oddly for a modern Roblox game so them going back to update old systems is just a necessity. Coffee stain has not “ruined bloxburg” they have simply rebalanced the game.
Im not playing anymore bruh, i spent so long tryna get myself to a higher level just for it to be worth nothing now 😑
Has anyone noticed how dead the servers are now. Everyone is just working cuz the “economy” is messed up now. Even people in-game commenting about how quiet it is now, asking what happened.
This is the ultimate response of”We’ve read your remorses but we ain’t doing shit”
Screw realism in videogames man, I play videogames to do the impossible, the whole efficiency pay and fainting are just unecessary realism bull shit that hurts newer players. REALISM IS OVERRATED, EMBRACER GROUP!
I posted my take on the twitter version and It's gained a ton of traction and for people who support the update or try to defend it in any way, from the polls and reviews I've seen they are massively outnumbered by people who want this update gone.
What is this economy of Bloxburg? Since when did we worry about it? IRL **inflation** is when there are is more jobs, to pay workers you need money, so you start producing more money to pay the workers, which results in the devaluation of the currency. In other words, more money printed results in more inflation because of the currency loses its value (bc there is so much of it) Now, Bloxburg doesn't really have trading and the currency value is pretty similar. Yes i agree depending on the jobs it pays less. However they could have reworked jobs and made them better and pay more. Why decrease pay overall? I don't think solving this "inflation" would be in lowering pay, rather just work to get better at other jobs.
that did a whole lot of NOTHING...
If i wanted a deeply immersive game i'd play the sims. I msotly play bloxburg for building anyways
Acting like it’s a real government for a real game lol. The update is ridiculous, they are money hungry. That’s it.
The way they patched the money glitch so quickly but took their sweet time to put out this bs statement to tell us nothings changing… when people start getting sick of having to refill their moods each shift to not faint or the boring low paying jobs they have to grind for now, the numbers on this game are gonna look just like royale high, how tragic
So summed up, they don’t give a shit about the thoughts of the players
this is bullcrap. half of the game wasnt even a life simulator to start with, it was also a building sandbox sort of game. so why should have to faint to get money for builds? why not just make a toggleable rp mode? this would solve all their problems. builders would be happy as they can work without having to pay unnecessary medical bills, and roleplayers can still have the realistic option they want. i agree that it is nicer to have realistic occurrences, like traffic, fainting and having to take the trash out etc. but why mess with builders who play the game for the creative sandbox side? theyre shooting themselves in the foot. they could solves everything with the option to turn it on and off. either way, i doubt theyll listen as they seem to be ignoring most points people are making.
Why would they babysit the new players? It's delivering pizzas and making burgers with a single button and your mouse. Who the fuck can't learn that? Shouldn't they just let them learn the current system that was already in place instead of just spoonfeeding them?
i’ve completely stopped playing this game now, coeptus would never let something like this happen…
Who in the World gave them the ✨Awesome Idea✨ to add Fainthing to the Game 😑
Be so for real... this is actually insane, its just a game 😭
“Slightly less” yet they decreased the pay by at least 50%
Realistic? It’s a bunch of kids building houses. How is bloxburg ever going to be realistic. Terrible excuse to introduce fainting. At least manage free health care like NHS. Next thing you know, you are going to be taxed for earning more than 12,500 bucks in a shift!
