All Networks Testing Room v2.0

[_The13thDoctor_]

Original: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/testing-room.209750/

So I was uncertain about reposting this one as it had an absurd amount of yes's and no's. I think this idea is worth it as there is really no downside to having it, except it would require a bit of dev time, but in the end, I feel like it would be more convenient than going into games and leaving trying to find a cool cage. And rather than having to unlock a bow gadget or tryhard in a sky wars game you can just test it out right there.

Following is copy // paste details from the old thread.

So I have an idea for something that could be added to the server! Testing Room. What is a testing room and why do we need it? A testing room is a little area that is like a box and there is enough room to run around and try gadgets out. One use is that I have like a billion glass cages but I don't want to go into a game to look at each one. So in a room, you can select a cage and see if you like it. If you want you can even equip it. You can also test out other cool gadgets and cool stuff. It also can test bow trails and pretty much anything else.

In my opinion, I don’t really see the need for this.
I think it would take about the same time just to go into a match and then out then it would to get to a testing area. I feel like it wouldn’t get a lot of use from players anyway. It’s kind of fun for some players to find out what their cage is anyway.
Even if this does get applied, I don’t think it should be Bedrock, because in Bedrock a little picture shows up next to the name, so you can see it at a glance.
I don’t think this is necessary in my opinion, but thanks for the suggestion anyways :)

Ok, so maybe not bedrock, however the issue with java as it's annoying as heck for me at least to constantly game jump and pull up the little menu when I could just go in my own little area and figure it out faster without switching between games. I do respect your opinion, I am worried about what happened last time will happen on this thread where the community will literally be split in two on if should be added.

Most cosmetic items IMO already have a pretty good description of what they are, and tbh I just don't care too much about anything them enough to want my own area to test them out. When I get an item thats legendary or above, I just equip it until it bugs me enough to turn it off. If you really wanted this, maybe vote for adding the cosmetics tool into games when you are in your glass cage? Even then just seems like a pointless feature few will use for very long.

I can point out many pointless features that are never used, but the point of this is it's like duels editing lobby, it's there for whenever you need it, the point is you can try out different things quickly and select them without having to go into games look and leave, you can get it all done at the same time, most people don't care but do consider the overall QOL potential it could hold.

I get that, I just really don't think enough players want this to warrant it's addition to the server. Just seems like a waste of valuable developer time.

Good point, although again, there are countless other things added now or in the past that would fall in that category, and yes I agree dev time should be focused on the most important however this could end up being a non-extensive addition. Who knows?

 

[comfyyy]

Who knows?

Can players who voted no please explain why?

 

[Zathelas]

I think we don't need it because they will make new things for the server. We will get more updates like Easter and Summer, they will add new things to the server and maby more in the future! I understand why this would be a suggestion.

This doesn’t make sense. There is always a holiday event at some point and most of the time it’s the same old thing... You could say this about any suggestion and why in the future? Is there somewhere where it says the have to wait a certain amount of time before they can consider my idea? Also why did you vote no if you said it could be an idea in the future?

I think they will test more things like Gadgets. I think they always test those things, or not at holidays.

Not much of an excuse considering how many they add it shouldn’t take that long. And again, your saying this idea can’t be added because they have to focus on a holiday update? Furthermore one that may be small and or disliked by many?

What you said, is letting me thinking, I thought it was going on a other way.

Ah, ok.

 

[Zathelas]

Ah, ok.

I'm sorry. My bad.

Not necesary and im creating the room and the option looking how the gadgets work is not easy to develop

But not only would it be much more convenient I really don’t see it being inconvenient at all. True it shouldn’t be there first priority but that doesn't mean it’s hard to develop.

I never talk about priority, even the small changes are welcome, but this one is not very usefull and ruin the surprise of how the things you unlock work.
If there are a shop of cosmetics of course you eill need to know what you are buying, but the loot system is random rewards so as soon as you unlock something you can use it and see how it work.
This will be a necesary feature with a loot shop bit not necesary in the random loot system we have

Ruin the surprise, how? The point is to test things you HAVE unlocked not stuff you don’t own.
