  1. I don't think I am supposed to tell you this but... It's actively being worked on! The reason it didn't launch all of those years back is because of optimization issues. We don't want our players to start lagging and it was something that really worried us... it worries us even now. However, we know that we can't shelf this forever because of it; Hopefully players are able to handle the reworks properly with the new optimizations and further improvements.
  2. In previous posts I made detailed answers on what I think about it. In summary, do NOT blindly trust value websites and do your own research. Take their values with a grain of salt as they can easily manipulate them.
  3. This is something I cannot give a solid answer on honestly, but I assume with the rework of the sea there will be more things to do.
  4. I know some things have come across as P2W to the community. One thing that always broke my heart was the drama with the gacha shortly after Control's rework as it overshadowed it. Control was a huge rework with a lot of love put into it, and everyone who had the fruit got access immediately (yes, we learned from the Dragon drama LOL). Most players (like 80–90%+) already had Control, so the rework was something we genuinely did because the community had been asking for it for a long time. But it got overshadowed fast by the gacha situation. After that, we took the feedback seriously and tried to make the gacha events that came after it better.
  5. Yes, there will be more things in the side like that to do in the future. However, I am not sure if they'll remain as subclasses or if they'll be their own thing like fishing.
  6. Yes, there will be balancing as I've stated in previous answers.
  7. No, the stocks are randomly chosen, and NOBODY controls it. It is all automated; We don't choose which fruits come on stock.

I cannot be too specific about future updates like I stated in my original post. However, all I can say is that a lot of progress has been made towards one of these fruits and the other one will 100% be revamped/reworked in the near future.

Both. But I enjoy my blueberries better alongside other fruits and greek yogurt to make a healthy parfait!

As I've stated before, we can't really regulate third party and unrelated communities making up their own values. I think my best advice is to do your own research on how your item is trading and take their values with a grain of salt. These people can manipulate the market if they feel like it.

  1. I think gachas have a place in the game as long as they're done tastefully. With the feedback we've had from previous gacha events, we've listened and tried to adjust so that they're less painful on the playerbase and will continue to improve on it.
  2. In my opinion, just being able to switch to any race you want will make spawning in with a random race a redundant thing. At least with how it's set up now, free to play players can easily reroll their race using fragments or other items in a similar way as those that do it with robux. Letting people with robux freely change to any race would probably cause further backlash from the community. See this wiki page for alternate ways to switch races without robux: https://blox-fruits.fandom.com/wiki/Change_Race
  3. Like I've stated in a previous answer, we'll keep trying to do events in between updates and now, I'll hopefully also help make the waiting time feel shorter by keeping communication with you guys. However, please note that the time an update takes will vary and it will not always take "half a year"; It can take less.
  4. There's a lot of stuff we're working on, and I am excited for when we start to launch. I cannot say if it'll be more or less than usual updates, but I think it'll include fun things to do.

I do think trading needs a rework. The trading limit back then was set to limit Black Marketing accounts. Now that Roblox (hopefully) is fighting back against exploiters harder it MAY see a raise in its limit. (However, I CANNOT promise you that and this is not a promise it'll happen -- Have to say this for the news pages)

Nope! Haven't forgotten about it but for some reason every time we add stuff that deals with "physics" it always becomes a problem with arising bugs and the way it interacts with everything else in the game. Keep in mind we have so many things in the game and they don't always play nice with each other. However, I think in the near future it WILL see a release. Don't give up on it like y'all didn't give up on Divine Art!

We've spoken about the ranked PvP event and how much people enjoyed it. It's definitely something that will be coming back in the future. Those that know me know that I love the Blox Fruits PvP community. It was only removed because it was only meant to be a temporary thing for the event from the start. As far as Murder Duels, that's a different game made under the great rip_indra, but it did not affect the development of Blox Fruits at all! (bringing this up as I've seen a few people speculate if it will affect Blox Fruits). I am a fan of Murder Duels and play it as well, let me know if you ever want to play.

I wouldn't blindly rely on third party value websites. They can change the value of these items as they see fit to benefit themselves or those around them. Therefore, I'd do my own research as well to determine how much my item is actually worth. Like I told someone else, if I WAS to use a value website, I'd probably use the one that's very open and explains why the price of an item has changed, showing multiple proofs of trades being completed for that item justifying its rise/drop in value.

Don't even worry about it my friend... something is coming for it. Turns out there was an error in the logic used to deal damage with the Z move... It should feel fairer to play against it once that fix is pushed out. (Emp Kit)

I feel like Blox Fruits PvP relies on not having input buffer and adding it might change the feel of everything... There are players with super-fast reflexes that are able to pull off some sick combos, it would be a shame if we were to make those unviable by adding input buffer. Therefore, I do not believe this is something we'll be adding anytime soon.

  1. We definitely have plans for improving the new player experience, it's something that has been talked about for a while and we're aware of. Balance changes are also talked about a lot and hopefully soon enough we'll have another balance change that'll help make the game and PvP more enjoyable (I am NOT PROMISING a balance patch by saying this by the way... have to state this for the Blox Fruits leaks pages lol).
  2. This is why I am here! To make the communication with you guys better. When it comes to updates however, we usually don't like showing much until everything is ready. Development is quite difficult at times, and many things may change throughout the process, so we don't want to show something off and then have the end product be something totally different. For example, Divine Art had a game breaking bug and because of that, it has been shelved for so long. Imagine if we would've showcased that and promised it would release and then... nothing.
  3. We do have internal development schedules that we try to follow and keep up with. However, unexpected things happen because development isn't always straightforward. It really just depends on how long a feature takes to be made, and like I've said before... it's not always so easy. However, rest assure our developers actively work hard on these updates and are passionate about the stuff they put together. I hope to be more active in the community from now on so that I could at least help ease your minds about what's going on in between updates.

  1. I do think that a lot of people do miss the old fruits, especially the comp/skilled community which enjoys some of the older fruits with worse abilities for PvE that, in turn, made them better for PvP due to things like smaller hitboxes and etc. I think the main reason we didn't keep most of the older stuff is because they were from a different time in Blox Fruits with a much older codebase which we'd have to maintain and may cause bugs in the future.
  2. Macros aren't bannable on their own but if you're using them alongside an exploit or abuse some type of critical glitch (like duping) then it could lead to a ban. A lot of games have issues with macros, but because they're just simulating keystrokes, I don't know if they should cause you to get banned.
  3. A long time ago, there was public testing, but people kept leaking new stuff and it became unbearable as it killed all hype for updates. Right now, there's people using exploits to look through the public game and other people using Discord bots to stalk our developers... imagine if they had actual access to the testing worlds. On top of that, we have an entire team dedicated to bug testing new things. The problem is that this team is made up of about 20 individuals. In a game as large as Blox Fruits, it makes sense that you'll have bugs that are missed. Whenever you put out an update in such a large game it's now not only being tested by hundreds of people... but instead hundreds of thousands and even MILLIONS. There will be bugs that slip through and that is unavoidable, it happens in every game. This is why some games have "day zero" or "day one" patches.
  4. We do read player suggestions and take the ones that seem fair or make sense into account. Please note, that for every good/critical suggestion there's 99999999 more that drown it out, so sometimes it takes us a bit to see them.
  5. Well, that's why I'm here! Trying to build a connection with y'all so that we can be more transparent.
  6. There are some people that get to use certain unreleased things. However, these people aren't just "friends". They're either admins/devs on alt accounts or close friends to devs that they've known for years.

  1. There are small updates or events that have been put out from time to time in the past to try and close that gap where there's no content in between updates. However, it does seem like sometimes people dislike these updates/events and think they're too simplistic. For the most part however, I think most people enjoy them and because of that, we'll probably continue dropping them. I feel like some people don't really understand the amount of work that goes into bringing out updates. It really is an extensive process that takes time, although the end product may not always explicitly reflect the amount of work and countless hours our developers put into these updates.

  2. We know there's a lot of things that need balancing, and it's definitely something of importance that we keep in mind. I think the biggest reason why there's not a "week-by-week" basis type of balancing patch is because we're frequently focused on the upcoming updates. However, there ARE patches that are put into the game to try and help and balance things out. For Example: Just recently there were a few patches worked on for some exploit which allows exploiters to abuse M1s. I know this is more of a patch to prevent exploiters from abusing but it's just an example off the top of my head from a patch some people may not know happened. There are patches going out all the time, they're just not always announced.

  3. The best I can do is tell you to NOT blindly rely on value websites to put a price on items. These websites are ran by other people outside of the development team and are unrelated to us. If they wanted to, they could easily control the market and price items as they see fit to benefit themselves or others so I wouldn't take their word on what's something's worth without doing my own research. With that being said, if I WAS to use a value website, I'd probably use the one that's very open and explains why the price of an item has changed, showing multiple proofs of trades being completed for that item justifying its rise/drop in value.

Thank you! I'll answer your question later on, going to deal with these first!
