Developer Awards! Phase 2: Virtual Items

This will be the second wave so maybe this time they will include the form crowns. What I still don’t know is if you become eligible while they are being rewarded, would you get it next wave?

Not everyone has received the crowns yet… so maybe wait a little longer? (Like 3 months)

I tried to contact support, about an issue in regards to the Crown of O’s and got an automated response. I tried about 5 times and got through once. I would recommend asking about something which not many people would ask and then moving the convo onto what you want them to respond too.

It takes time jeez. You got those that somehow earned the crown from a normal baseplate.

The Form was for helpers of the game :smiley: .

Its been a quarter it will be soon.

I had 150k+ MAUs back in January for at least 2 months in a row and never got the Sparkle Time Crown from the first wave. Hopefully I will earn it soon. I wanted to see if the email they provided manually awards crowns to people who have the requirements if requested, but all I got was automated responses.

I got over 500 MAU last month and just over 900 this month, hopefully I get to see the golden crown soon as well, maybe the bombastic in the future.

When they said “waves”, I think most of us thought it would be monthly or even weekly… My game has supposedly been eligible since may, fingers crossed the next wave is on the horizon

Yes. I don’t think anybody was clear on how long waves were but it meant quarterly, which is 3 months. The next wave is right around the corner!

If you read the post, it says:

Hi everyone,

Thank you for sharing your excitement and what you’ve earned so far since we started the dev awards program. It’s inspiring to see so many of you proudly wearing these virtual awards!

Unfortunately, we have also received an overwhelming number of dishonest survey submissions that include many ‘team members’ who have not contributed to the creation of the experience.

We want this program and its awards to be symbolic of your accomplishments and milestones on your journey as a Roblox developer. Granting awards to individuals who have not earned it devalues the hard work of those that have.

Because of this, we have decided to place a temporary limit on award distribution. Until we have a new solution in place, milestone awards will only be granted to the owner of an experience.

This was not an easy decision to make. We know that a majority of experiences on Roblox were created through the efforts of multiple individuals. Please be patient while we work on a solution that will grant awards to all contributors.

Thank you

Perhaps a few methods I can just kind of throw out there

  • Tracking the overall amount of time that user has spent in that games studios | Although this would ruin it for those who are out of studio developers :confused:

  • You could maybe add a time limit? Lets say I have a group you shouldn’t start receiving rewards from that group until you’ve been in it for a 6 month period, reason why I chose 6 months is due to if a person if doing a commission for that group they aren’t gonna stick around for a full 6 months to retrieve a crown.

those are just my little starting points you can maybe look towards to prevent the disrespectful developers who ruin the true value of these developer rewards.

This is extremely disappointing to hear, however, it is a relief to hear that something is being done to combat the dishonest practices that were going on.

I was looking forward to obtaining the crowns from one of the group projects that I’m a major contributor to, but I think the program’s integrity should be a higher priority. I hope that there is a solution that will allow contributors to get their own rewards sometime in the future.

I think a part of the problem is that there is no objective measurement of contribution for any project. You cannot exclusively detect studio time because it would also exclude developers such as graphic designers and such. You can’t just leave it up to the owner because of the dishonesty that it will bring. I don’t know of any easy solutions to this problem, so I hope that the program takes the time it needs to figure something out.

This is sad to hear. But at least the program is back! And it’s awesome for everyone that is available to do it!

Hey!

Thanks for the update, are the “waves” described in the original post still planned? If not, should owners of experiences that recently met crown rewards (after the initial wave had been completed) send an email with the appropriate details?

would this change not happen and the program would be fine if it weren’t for the people making false responses in the forms?

also how long will the limit be? is it for a few weeks or months?
