@Suel21_MLBTS said in Welp, stadium vault isn't carrying over to 2026:
@PriorFir4383355_XBL I get all that but the question was, what did they promise or say they would do that they didn't? Your response is that you advised them on something or made suggestions. They haven't broken any promises or failed to do anything with stadium creator that they said they would...
Prior is right, we did and have been trying to work with SDS for a couple years now about improving the Stadium Creator, through simple QoL things. We had long been told that they would be working on things for the creator to improve its functionality, or that it would be “passed on”. It’s implied that all modes would continue to be built upon when any developer says they’re always looking to improve the game.
This merely came to a head this past iteration with the entire Lagrasa nonsense. Someone had accidentally discovered how to move the foul territory fences…and at first it was viewed as a boon and many creators leaned into it and told SDS “cat’s out of the bag now, you might as well work with our suggestions at this point”. It was maybe two or three days after this that the first Lagrasa popped up.
We privately messaged SDS community heads in an attempt to get a round table going on how to improve the creator, building off this accidental discovery while maintaining the integrity of the mode: Basically saying all they needed to do was implement min/max requirements in order to keep stadiums online eligible, while at the same time gatekeeping gross abuse of the new found freedom.
It’s not that they “promised “ and failed to deliver…it’s that they looked at the option of either working with the Creator community on genuinely improving the mode while maintaining their restrictions on garbage stadiums- OR the optically horrible option for total control with zero interaction. They went for the second option- not a good look in the slightest.
That’s why we’re largely disjointed with SDS…it felt the like entire interactions were entirely in bad faith. I 100% understand not everyone’s on board with the creator, and that’s cool…we’re all allowed to enjoy different parts of the game moreso than others. It’s the implication that was made, and not remotely followed through on despite at least two years worth of requests to provide feedback taken from designers from end users. That’s all
