If you could wave a magic wand and change anything about Rec Room, what would you change? Check out this related video if you have time! th-cam.com/video/hNMbqu2dXU0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UD8f10UR_Oi4M-Js
it annoys me because the featured inventions/dorm skin tabs DID rotate every week with submissions (I got two inventions featured) then they were "temporarily" suspended after invention tower was discontinued and then featured custom shirts stopped after the Megan (the person reviewing the submissions) went on maternity leave and despite her returning, the shirts are yet to be rotated again
I’m glad more people are finally starting to wake up to issues this game has. Me personally, I fear that it’s too late. Problems like the ones mentioned in the video didn’t just pop up out of nowhere. For as long as I’ve been apart of the community, those disgruntled with the state of rec room have been written off, by the majority of the community as haters, or entitled, or just bored with the game without realizing it; Now, years later, we’re here. It took years to dig this hole, and if there’s any hope that Against Gravity changes their ways, it’ll take years to get back to a quality product again.
Great video as always! I remember being in 3d Charades with you, Jeb, Alex, and Lion. I forgot to mention, that the Living Pet Seal has been there since I started a year ago in February 2023. Another thing is how I’m realizing another issue; Rooms 2.0. I’ve been working on a Rooms 2.0 room, and it is literally unplayable. When players join, the game breaks and goes 1FPS until I leave, and the animation controller doesn’t work. You have very great points, and I’ve heard a lot of these points echo in the community. If anything, Rec Room should start taking tips from all video partners.
I screenshot your comment in case anyone asks me again for feedback on Rooms 2.0. Keep in touch, you're a really good point of contact - someone who plays the game but has intelligent things to say about it while learning to build. I appreciate your insights!!! And it was fun playing 3D Charades, thanks for joining us!
i left recroom like a while ago. when featured inventions got "halted". now im watching the game go up in flames. at least from an outside perspective. i made some good memories and had a good time. at least rec room cant put a paywall in front of that
There's still lots of fun to be had in my opinion. It's easy to be bitter when you've been around for years. sometimes I wish I could go back, erase my memory and start over as a Level 1 and see how I'd experience it with fresh eyes.
I agree with every point here.. Its so sad to see RR go down this path. i used to grind everyday for weeklies or even just go and explore different maps. So disappointing..
I hate it that when I try to promote my map using events, for example, my hangout map ^Treetop-Cove, it just gets burried to the bottom of the events tab because of all the military events. Rec Room should add a tab for "New" Events so people can experience those maps.
I've played Rec Room for over 5 years now, and its really hard for me to believe what Rec Room is turning into, its just such a mess. And Tara sounded really genuine and passionate in this video, i hope Rec Room starts to listen soon...
“Don’t get me started on how our last weekly challenge ever was a pair of boots. It seems actually symbolic, it’s Rec Room kicking us while we’re already down.” SUCH A VALID QUOTE LOL!
I actually have a couple things. I wish you could take your monster anywhere and I wish there was more ink that you could use in a room from your maker pen.
I used to play rec room in 2021 and I miss the weekly’s, they where the only reason that me and my online friends hung out most of the time since we all wanted to get those (at times) really nice skins. And I remember seeing a gucci trashcan that we all were grinding to get. And I’ll never forget all of the memories that I made and I hope that things will get turned around. But it’s probably very very slim for that to happen.
Parents before: "You need to go outside and see some sun" Parents now: "here you go timmy! Your very own ipad+vr headset+Iphone 16+ PS5+X box series X. Happy first birthday timmy!" (No offense to anyone)
11:38 YES THERE IS NO FILTER i have someone who was just sending me cuss words because i wouldnt gift them a 4,800 token skin so i blocked them and unfriended and now i feel happy. Also i have that low poly bug a lot (im a quest 3 player) especially on my friends.
I sent an email to rec room a YEAR ago, and it was about the new contributor permissions. It took them a YEAR to realize a GIANT ISSUE FOR CREATORS. (Like myself) The only reason we needed this, is because Co-Owners, could clone rooms, letting them have owner of an exact copy of a room. This is how the copyable rooms got out, and trust me, as someone who has gotten their room copied, many, MANY times. This was a big issue. The fact it took them a year to actually realize that this was a big issues, kind of just proves they try to neglect us.
Yikes! And I thought the worst problem with contributor role was that I got added to like 50 rooms against my will. "My Rooms" is still incredibly cluttered because of this. Classic, not asking the community first - we could have potentially pointed out why that was not a good idea!
Oh my god yes, contributor was SO broken!! Also the new permissions UI is annoying too, you can't remove yourself from a certain permission level, *unless you're given permission to remove yourself?* Also the fact that contributor perms people show up in the creators tab on a room but you don't need to accept contributor perms and they can just be forced upon you??? Infuriating 🫤
It seems like rec room is getting rid of everything rid of everything that makes people wanna play the game such as : weeklys , invasion , and contests (well sorta)
I know I haven’t commented in a LOOOONG time but, Great vid Tara! Thank you for calling out rec room. I really hope that they watch this video and take in all of the feedback. ❤
I’m not trying to self promote but I felt for a while that everyone had 3 choices 1. Join the hord of cash grabs 2. Children playing the cash grabs/RecCenter kids 3. People that just leave RecRoom. But I decided to try to help fix what the community is doing to itself. I made a RR team where our only goal is to make fun unique games so people have something actually fun to do or play with there friends. But even after so long our rooms just won’t blow up because the cash grabs are to strong. So we decided we would make one final game, one game that’s so big and easy to understand it has to blow up . So we decided on making lethal company but in RR. Now don’t get all mad because this would actually be lethal company. First it’s all in one subroom no loading 2. The facility randomly generates for replay ability and 3 so many well coded monsters and features. So yea I hope it goes well and people will actually have something fun to play again.
I will go down with the ship. I love this game and unless they scrap the partner program altogether, I will be here making content. I think RR will be OK. This is just the awkward adolescent years. I'm hopeful.
One thing that is also annoying is when you trying to find a downloaded invention with the search tab they recommend things that have those letters in it
Me and a group have had a room effected by rec room bugs at bad times, room constants broke for a full week, which was also the week the room was featured, which was very unhelpful for our small genre of difficult but quality parkour
This issues are actually terrifying to me because some of these problems are parallel to Roblox. The biggest connection being the low effort games getting the most views. I came to Rec Room because it was like a new Roblox with more fun games like paintball and quest, so seeing it slowly change in ways that disregard the community worries me... hoping for the best!
One thing rec room ruined for quest speedrunners was getting rid of doubleshooting. I dont know if its back, im guessing its not, i havent checked, but i dunno. I used to speedrun back when rec room wasnt a "corporate company" i mean it kind of was, but not like dull colors that everyone in the office gets used to. I was playing back when the invention tower was still a thing, and when community events were also happening. Sad to see how rec room has changed, when rooms like "HuggyWuggyNightmareIgnited" or something like that werent being made. Games are unoriginal, everything is copied, and items are waaay overpriced. One more thing, I dont know why rec room got rid of the feature where you could add pictures to your outfits, that was a good feature.
RIP weekly's 2017 2024 I mean, I still love Rec Room, but I get overwhelmed at public lobbies sometimes. Here are more annoying things I like to point out in Rec Room. When I go the invention store, the featured inventions are nothing but so and so pets, I feel like they're doing featured rooms, and not featured inventions, I feel like they abandoned it. Toxic players think they know the code of conduct, or they just pretend it doesn't exist, they just think they rule the Rec Center, speaking of rec centers, sometimes I get approached by squeakers that set their voices to high.
Once i had a hacker in the rec center, there was 2 massive black boards that both said about websites to BUY makerpen in any room, one floating above the "shack" the other covering the mirror, this was a good few years ago now, but i still remember it to this day. Also, a rec center once had blackbeard (the isle boss) in it, so that was cool
The worst games have to be Ignited rooms. Filled to the brim with keys/consumables that are 1k+ tokens, just the same game concept (going around a copy&pasted map looking for 5 sheets of paper), and how ungodly promoted these rooms are. I have a friend that works for a game called Ignited-Frebear and through out the last 3 weeks, the only game he was in was that SAME EXACT room spam inviting his 1k+ friends. I mean, I get it. You need to earn tokens from your game somehow, but do you serious believe a un-original game bassed off a copyrighted character should be making all these tokens? This is the exact reason why a bunch of my friends who were creators quitted. Games that they actually worked hard on do not even get on the new tab because its burried under all of these cash grabbing ignited rooms that were only made to squeeze as much money out of you as possible.
I do tend to agree. I'm hopeful for custom carousels so I can stop seeing this stuff. What I find alluring vs what the majority seem to find alluring..not at all the same.
@@Tarapeutic yeah. In my opinion the best Ignited game has to be Ignited Markiplier. You will have to collect milk, use your milk to try to kill Ignited Markiplier. Plus it has a unique currency system to get consumables. Its a really fun game and I hope you would check it sometime.
@@DaCoolSpiderhahaha i literally came here to comment that! I love when they DO make it unique! Ignited Markiplier, yes! You literally get to fight back against the monster, it has silly finally audio, he can use the caged areas to teleporting to other cages around the map, etc.
Been playing since 2017. My friends list is 99% players who don't play anymore. Seeing the over priced shop is depressing, used to spend tokens every week. RRO quests were a staple. I remember watching the crescendo trailer multiple times hyped with my buds. Haven't had that feeling in recroom in a long time.
the lack of vr support is so true, i quit playing on my vr because i would constantly get the screen of death or just constant fps drops, and I have a good pc that I should not be running at 20 fps
I made a cohesive comment on Ruth latest video, but TLDR the MP creator community is a shell of what it once was. I have 4,000+ hours on Rec Room, most of it spent on maker pen creation, bugs no longer get fixed, creator programs removed, and creators (due to the maker pen's abysmal state) are almost forced to solely use RRS if they wish any of their creations if they wish to get any amount of views.
Even with RRS people aren't getting views on their creations unless it's a certain type of map. And if they do, it seems to flop after 3-4 weeks (at least, that's how it was a year ago during Room Rewards) I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated. I hope for change soon, so that competent builders feel more nurtured by the game. Because we need people like you!
One of the reasons the weekly was killed is because 0.2% of active players played it (ESPECIALLY NEW PLAYERS) So maybe we can just give them a notification? This would help people know that weeklies even exist. And if people are annoyed getting a notification every week then maybe also add a notification symbol next to the challenged tab. This would help too (Probably less but still) And add the weekly stand back to the dorm room. Also the "0.2% of active players played the weekly" is so dumb to me lol like 0.4% of active players play paintball so why not remove paintball?? Lol
It was almost fully automated anyways, they should've just pasted the basic skins onto every item (caution, plaid, wooden, etc.) and made *those* the weeklies in an automated system.
Ngl as someone who knows a good bundle of hackers a lot of them just do it for fun in private rooms to not ruin experiences for others who don't want it or they do it in those crappy military rooms to actually make them fun but the ones who do it in like public rec centers and stuff are definetly the annoying ones
When ever my friend java streams I can feel the screams of 7 year olds begging to be in a video get burned into my brain, the bliss of a room with a 3 player max limit is my only saving grace
I haven't played Rec Room in a minute, but 26,000 tokens?!?! You can tell this company is just getting money hungry at this point, I haven't played properly in over a year or so, I have noticed a lack in original content such as RROs compared to how it was back in the day. And along with all the bugs and stuff too? Like come on 😭I enjoyed playing this game back in 2017
These military training rooms in rec room need to be scrapped and more needs to be done to stop the hackers in rec room and they need to stop over pricing items....
I literally had worked on a painting for like 20 hours. I did get featured in rec room creative club gallery. But I honestly don’t know if people know if it’s existence. I also got a creator bubbly. But it feels like the 20 hours went down a long and sad drain.
My problem with Rec Room. Is Used to be. Fun Grinding game To get your items. And maybe spend A little money here and there. And now You need rec room plus. And Up to $40 a month just to keep up with the fashion and rec room.
It's true that you bring up some good points. The rest of my group has moved on to playing Population 1, as Rec Room no longer holds our interest. I design shirts as well, so I have no plans to move on just yet. - stevola
You forgot Number 11: When you buy RR+, A lot of players wants to be friend with you because they want free gifts from you all time And 12: When you accept a random friend request, That player invites you to random rooms all time and if you block it doesnt work. That player invites you again and again
One of the most effective ways we can get Rec Room to understand their lack of respect for the community, is sadly, to stop making videos about their game. It pays so many peoples' bills, but if Rec Room is noticing "Oh crap, none of our video partners are staying," they might start to truly get the hint. Just something to think about.
ahahaha !!! Yeah right, I am NOT going to eliminate my income and not be able to pay my bills. What a ridiculous idea, sorry. Maybe that would work for all the VPP people in high school, but not for serious professionals. I love Rec Room, despite the issues. I'm not going to boycott it altogether.
It would be too devastating to Rectubers. Sacrificing a few weeks or months of income isn't something adults can just *do* 😅 And i feel like Rec Room is self-sustainable enough now to ignore the Rectubers that brought so much attention to the game if it really came to it. If there was a huge movement and Rec Room felt they couldn't rely on these Rectubers anymore, they could totally just... Not 😅
I really want another level cap because like over 5-15% of players are already level 50, and I’ve been level 50 for 4 years already. But I have a theory it MIGHT come out soon since it took 4 years for them to release a new level cap, and it’s been nearly 4 years now so it’s questionable
Hackers are awesome when they target militaries because they are literally just power-hungry, literally crazy the interactions ive had in rec room that were kids threatening me with their mafias in random rooms
i have to agree with you on that stuff im apart of lab team even i dont no if they listen to our advice and another annoying bug is the infinite health where someone can't be killed
i don’t think you’ve mentioned this in the video yet (because i haven’t even watched it): have you ever played in a room before and rec room feels the need to kick you out into your dorm or back in the login room
i haven't been able to try the full body avatars because I use one of the more pointed heads, and it just feels wrong having to use the default rounded square head. i ive been really excited to try out the full body avatar, but it just makes me want to throw up every time I try and see myself with an egg for a head.
I get sick of these annoying kids that are in rec room it's like they using rec room to babysit these kids... It gets so annoying nowadays on rec room...
3:51 I’ve requested (commented on their videos over 40 times) to let us recolor liquids of drinks and potions so I can “have a purple liquid come out a purple potion” and so far I’ve just gotten static
the prices are VERY ANNOYING AHHH one day i see cute cat ears which are like 9,000 the next i see a cute make it to midnight backpack for the same price! AHH IM BROKE haha! and yesss your game was doing a weird thing when i saw you a couple days ago!
yea i have a lot of issues with crashes sometimes pcvr with quest link is kinda broken for me and my screen flickers a bunch on it so i usually play standalone and the amount of crashes is absurd i used to make a lot of inventions like couches sometimes games and sometimes i got like 8 loading screens of death IN A ROW
there are a lot of games that do this actually! it helps the game preform smoother because being further away from a prop/object makes it more difficult to see, so game devs make lower poly versions on purpose to help keep the game run smoothly while only making small changes :D
of course sometimes theres bugs with this system and it can switch to the low poly model even if theyre close by, hopefully it gets fixed at some point
my friend has this problem where it says he has to log back into his account but he forgot his password and never registered his email so I don’t know if he will be able to get his account back
Is it ok if you do a pc review? Like what parts are in your pc? I like the graphics and frames you are getting. So just wondering if you can do a yt short pc review.
My favorite game in rec room is marvel pvp when I was active on rec room it was great and I made lots of friends in there, then I quit cause I got bored I recently came back and now half the people in that game are invincible, rec room ik you wont see this but if something aint broke dont fix it the hit boxes were fine and like tera said you always just end up breaking something else anyway start fixing things that need to be fixed.
If you could wave a magic wand and change anything about Rec Room, what would you change?
Check out this related video if you have time! th-cam.com/video/hNMbqu2dXU0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UD8f10UR_Oi4M-Js
Cool!
I would change the maker pen back to when it was better :/
Probably military maps. When I’m looking at events all I see is military recruitment or something like that.
I would destroy every single crash item.
More Quests
Recroom forgot the building community made their game playable

"An excuse to play rec room" hit hard, very relatable.
it annoys me because the featured inventions/dorm skin tabs DID rotate every week with submissions (I got two inventions featured) then they were "temporarily" suspended after invention tower was discontinued and then featured custom shirts stopped after the Megan (the person reviewing the submissions) went on maternity leave and despite her returning, the shirts are yet to be rotated again
Yes, I remember that. It sucks, I agree!!

Fr most of new games are cash grabs
@@llunexinity I know it's some profit stuff but bro the cashgrabs that 12 year old makes after they beg for rr+ to make paid stuff

I remember how mad I was when I saw the last weekly. When I saw it. It was like recroom said "I don't care about you" right to my face.
Awwww. I know. Boots! Of all things!
Everything you said is so true. Whenever I try to use the maker pen there are quite a few bugs. Thank you for still making videos.
Nice sick
That MITM backpack would have been a good last weekly
I actually have a couple things. I wish you could take your monster anywhere and I wish there was more ink that you could use in a room from your maker pen.

Thanks friend!!
The only reason 0.2 percent completed the weekly challenges is probably because they removed it from everyone's dormroom
I'm not entirely sure, but it still feels unfair because it was almost automated I'm sure. No harm in continuing it with re-released skins.
A lot of good points and honestly you said it perfectly with everything that’s been going on
It seems like rec room is getting rid of everything rid of everything that makes people wanna play the game such as : weeklys , invasion , and contests (well sorta)

I will go down with the ship. I love this game and unless they scrap the partner program altogether, I will be here making content. I think RR will be OK. This is just the awkward adolescent years. I'm hopeful.
I stopped playing much, as i i was grinding for level 50, and doing weekly's at the same time. Once they removed weekly's it got pretty boring.
I've never seen a full body look so smooth when it comes to movement.
I think they said they did a recent update where it does look smoother. I need to take some more time to analyze.
i agree with everything you just said... but... can we just talk about how close you are to 100K!
Aye, I know! Thank you!

Once i had a hacker in the rec center, there was 2 massive black boards that both said about websites to BUY makerpen in any room, one floating above the "shack" the other covering the mirror, this was a good few years ago now, but i still remember it to this day.
Also, a rec center once had blackbeard (the isle boss) in it, so that was cool
Also, build contests aren't guaranteed to be gone yet. There have been some rumors of one coming up within the year possibly.
The worst games have to be Ignited rooms. Filled to the brim with keys/consumables that are 1k+ tokens, just the same game concept (going around a copy&pasted map looking for 5 sheets of paper), and how ungodly promoted these rooms are. I have a friend that works for a game called Ignited-Frebear and through out the last 3 weeks, the only game he was in was that SAME EXACT room spam inviting his 1k+ friends.
I mean, I get it. You need to earn tokens from your game somehow, but do you serious believe a un-original game bassed off a copyrighted character should be making all these tokens? This is the exact reason why a bunch of my friends who were creators quitted. Games that they actually worked hard on do not even get on the new tab because its burried under all of these cash grabbing ignited rooms that were only made to squeeze as much money out of you as possible.
I do tend to agree. I'm hopeful for custom carousels so I can stop seeing this stuff. What I find alluring vs what the majority seem to find alluring..not at all the same.
@@Tarapeutic yeah. In my opinion the best Ignited game has to be Ignited Markiplier. You will have to collect milk, use your milk to try to kill Ignited Markiplier. Plus it has a unique currency system to get consumables. Its a really fun game and I hope you would check it sometime.
@@DaCoolSpiderhahaha i literally came here to comment that! I love when they DO make it unique! Ignited Markiplier, yes! You literally get to fight back against the monster, it has silly finally audio, he can use the caged areas to teleporting to other cages around the map, etc.
Been playing since 2017. My friends list is 99% players who don't play anymore. Seeing the over priced shop is depressing, used to spend tokens every week. RRO quests were a staple. I remember watching the crescendo trailer multiple times hyped with my buds. Haven't had that feeling in recroom in a long time.
the lack of vr support is so true, i quit playing on my vr because i would constantly get the screen of death or just constant fps drops, and I have a good pc that I should not be running at 20 fps
I made a cohesive comment on Ruth latest video, but TLDR the MP creator community is a shell of what it once was. I have 4,000+ hours on Rec Room, most of it spent on maker pen creation, bugs no longer get fixed, creator programs removed, and creators (due to the maker pen's abysmal state) are almost forced to solely use RRS if they wish any of their creations if they wish to get any amount of views.
Even with RRS people aren't getting views on their creations unless it's a certain type of map. And if they do, it seems to flop after 3-4 weeks (at least, that's how it was a year ago during Room Rewards)
I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated. I hope for change soon, so that competent builders feel more nurtured by the game. Because we need people like you!
One of the reasons the weekly was killed is because 0.2% of active players played it (ESPECIALLY NEW PLAYERS)
So maybe we can just give them a notification?
This would help people know that weeklies even exist. And if people are annoyed getting a notification every week then maybe also add a notification symbol next to the challenged tab. This would help too (Probably less but still)
And add the weekly stand back to the dorm room. Also the "0.2% of active players played the weekly" is so dumb to me lol like 0.4% of active players play paintball so why not remove paintball?? Lol
It was almost fully automated anyways, they should've just pasted the basic skins onto every item (caution, plaid, wooden, etc.) and made *those* the weeklies in an automated system.
What’s soooooo annoying is when I go to a map that has a lot of inventions then it lags my game and I can’t get in rec room and I have to redownload
Ngl as someone who knows a good bundle of hackers a lot of them just do it for fun in private rooms to not ruin experiences for others who don't want it or they do it in those crappy military rooms to actually make them fun but the ones who do it in like public rec centers and stuff are definetly the annoying ones
These are amazing points and I feel like we all have first hand experience in at least 5 of these
When ever my friend java streams I can feel the screams of 7 year olds begging to be in a video get burned into my brain, the bliss of a room with a 3 player max limit is my only saving grace
I haven't played Rec Room in a minute, but 26,000 tokens?!?! You can tell this company is just getting money hungry at this point, I haven't played properly in over a year or so, I have noticed a lack in original content such as RROs compared to how it was back in the day. And along with all the bugs and stuff too? Like come on 😭I enjoyed playing this game back in 2017
These military training rooms in rec room need to be scrapped and more needs to be done to stop the hackers in rec room and they need to stop over pricing items....
“Also crying is fun” I CANT 🤣🤣🤣
(Relatable though)
😆
Hi Tara! I'm new to your channel but now I watch your videos every day! I love your content! ❤
Yay! Thank you Quinn!
I literally had worked on a painting for like 20 hours. I did get featured in rec room creative club gallery. But I honestly don’t know if people know if it’s existence. I also got a creator bubbly. But it feels like the 20 hours went down a long and sad drain.
5:54 that no bueno was wild lol
For some reason, my Quest 3 gets the load screen of death at 100%. It doesn’t spawn me in, but I can hear other’s voices. Kinda weird.
Oh yeah, I've had that sometimes, hearing people before you spawn in a dorm or something. I always feel like I'm eavesdropping haha!
My problem with Rec Room. Is Used to be. Fun Grinding game To get your items. And maybe spend A little money here and there. And now You need rec room plus. And Up to $40 a month just to keep up with the fashion and rec room.
I think Level 50 is a weird cap, they should go to Level 100 or something! Or 99.
Yeah, me and my friends we’ve had a lot of conversations about how leveling up could be different and better
It's true that you bring up some good points. The rest of my group has moved on to playing Population 1, as Rec Room no longer holds our interest. I design shirts as well, so I have no plans to move on just yet. - stevola
Was that a Mario Kart reference at 7:29? Nice
The other bug is when u switch outfits it changes the head size on the rec room character
almost 100k 🎉🎉🎉
Almost!!
You forgot Number 11: When you buy RR+, A lot of players wants to be friend with you because they want free gifts from you all time
And 12: When you accept a random friend request, That player invites you to random rooms all time and if you block it doesnt work. That player invites you again and again
What recroom needs to do for recroom originals is not create new ones but add more maps and etc to Originals that already exists
One of the most effective ways we can get Rec Room to understand their lack of respect for the community, is sadly, to stop making videos about their game. It pays so many peoples' bills, but if Rec Room is noticing "Oh crap, none of our video partners are staying," they might start to truly get the hint. Just something to think about.
ahahaha !!! Yeah right, I am NOT going to eliminate my income and not be able to pay my bills. What a ridiculous idea, sorry. Maybe that would work for all the VPP people in high school, but not for serious professionals. I love Rec Room, despite the issues. I'm not going to boycott it altogether.
Drastic changes take drastic measures 🫤
It would be too devastating to Rectubers. Sacrificing a few weeks or months of income isn't something adults can just *do* 😅
And i feel like Rec Room is self-sustainable enough now to ignore the Rectubers that brought so much attention to the game if it really came to it. If there was a huge movement and Rec Room felt they couldn't rely on these Rectubers anymore, they could totally just... Not 😅
The Classic Subrooms. They always make a bunch of subrooms. It takes so long just to load in.
I really want another level cap because like over 5-15% of players are already level 50, and I’ve been level 50 for 4 years already. But I have a theory it MIGHT come out soon since it took 4 years for them to release a new level cap, and it’s been nearly 4 years now so it’s questionable
Hackers are awesome when they target militaries because they are literally just power-hungry, literally crazy the interactions ive had in rec room that were kids threatening me with their mafias in random rooms
My ps4 crashes when i try to load an game with alot of RRS uses and its kinda annoying having to restart rec room and waiting for it to load
ain’t gonna lie the ending with the weekly’s hurt 😢
i have to agree with you on that stuff im apart of lab team even i dont no if they listen to our advice and another annoying bug is the infinite health where someone can't be killed
I mean not gonna lie hackers are a little funny last time a saw a golden trohpy stone ball in the rec center 💀
i don’t think you’ve mentioned this in the video yet (because i haven’t even watched it):
have you ever played in a room before and rec room feels the need to kick you out into your dorm or back in the login room
i haven't been able to try the full body avatars because I use one of the more pointed heads, and it just feels wrong having to use the default rounded square head. i ive been really excited to try out the full body avatar, but it just makes me want to throw up every time I try and see myself with an egg for a head.
Please stop using a full body avatar don’t encourage their stupid ideas 💀
I get sick of these annoying kids that are in rec room it's like they using rec room to babysit these kids... It gets so annoying nowadays on rec room...
3:51 I’ve requested (commented on their videos over 40 times) to let us recolor liquids of drinks and potions so I can “have a purple liquid come out a purple potion” and so far I’ve just gotten static
One of my hacker story's was a guy who was wearing the forbidden one outfit and was running around saying the forbidden one is here and spawning stuff
the prices are VERY ANNOYING AHHH one day i see cute cat ears which are like 9,000 the next i see a cute make it to midnight backpack for the same price! AHH IM BROKE haha! and yesss your game was doing a weird thing when i saw you a couple days ago!
yea i have a lot of issues with crashes sometimes pcvr with quest link is kinda broken for me and my screen flickers a bunch on it so i usually play standalone and the amount of crashes is absurd i used to make a lot of inventions like couches sometimes games and sometimes i got like 8 loading screens of death IN A ROW
The community also has a little bit of fault, becoming toxic and not as enjoyable as it was 2016-2019
Tara there also a lot of bugs in rec room like when u move far away they look like Low poly
Yes, I noticed that bug the other day!
Fba looks like roblox characters 😭
there are a lot of games that do this actually! it helps the game preform smoother because being further away from a prop/object makes it more difficult to see, so game devs make lower poly versions on purpose to help keep the game run smoothly while only making small changes :D
of course sometimes theres bugs with this system and it can switch to the low poly model even if theyre close by, hopefully it gets fixed at some point
@@Tarapeutic it doesn’t look right because the low poly messes up the rec room character gloves
Its so sad to see how rr turned out
1:28 i thought i was the only one experiencing this 😂😂😂 yes its true it always freezes at 81 percent
Nope, I have been experiencing load screens of death for yearrrrrss !
YES PLS I CRIED IN MY BED BECAUSE THEY REMOVED THE WEEKLY LIKE WHY WAS EVERYBODY MAD ABOUT WEEKLYS THEN THE SMALL PERCENT WHO ACTUALY LIKR IT
my friend has this problem where it says he has to log back into his account but he forgot his password and never registered his email so I don’t know if he will be able to get his account back
you should host your own build comp sometime and livestream hopping through all of them and maybe the winner could earn something?
Is it ok if you do a pc review? Like what parts are in your pc? I like the graphics and frames you are getting. So just wondering if you can do a yt short pc review.
I’m just praying rec room comes back better than ever and becomes OASIS
What happened to rec room feeling like a rec room man. Like it used to feel like a huge playground, now it feels like a roblox ripoff
Honestly in my opinion i feel like recroom is turning into a vrchat/roblox game. Also amazing video!
another one i would add is removing paddleball from the originals tab, I miss when it was there
Honestly the hackers that spawn bosses in the rec center i found funny even though ive never ran into one
My favorite game in rec room is marvel pvp when I was active on rec room it was great and I made lots of friends in there, then I quit cause I got bored I recently came back and now half the people in that game are invincible, rec room ik you wont see this but if something aint broke dont fix it the hit boxes were fine and like tera said you always just end up breaking something else anyway start fixing things that need to be fixed.
