Roblox being down right now is a perfect example to why this is a bad idea. I literally cannot work during down times due to everything being synced with the cloud.

In my opinion, this update is pointless.
Having team-create on by default asks you to commit scripts, forcing you to waste time turning it off if you forgot to do so when creating the place.
I will never understand the need for these types of updates.

how about you people think about this before you do something as unbelievably stupid as this update

This is why they should not cease our ability to edit offline. When I have a non-team create place open in studio and the power goes out, I rely on my ability to save my changes made offline as files on my device. In addition when I wake up my computer from sleep mode, on a place with team create off, I’m literally back to where I was, as opposed to having to press the re-connect button that takes a while to work.

If the people at Roblox HQ really need specific examples to prove that disabling offline places is a bad idea, they can look no further than this massive outage we’re having right now. Having the capability to create and use offline place files can help us negate the impact of these downtimes by allowing us to work without an always-online connection to a server. Unfortunately, our good friends always decide that we have to take the complicated option because Metaverse™ Cloud™ Innovation™

guys just use rojo. lol. this update wont really effect you then.
Personally these are the updates roblox should be making, not this god awful dogshit update that nobody asked for and benefits certain types of developers on roblox.
This multibillionaire dollar company doesn’t even give us, the developers who are literally keeping roblox, alive surveys as for what next updates they are gonna do, they make whatever the hell they feel like
Way to go roblox, this is why so many developers are leaving the platform

Rojo doesn’t change the impact that this update will have to developers. This isn’t about the development lifecycle of a place but rather its conception. New places will start with team create on (meaning the IDE must be online) and the place is automatically created and starts archived on your chosen entity (a profile or a group). We don’t want this.
No one is bringing up Rojo because it’s not relevant here whether you’re using fully or partially managed Rojo. The whole issue is the update itself creating new blank places and cluttering our archives for no justifiable reason; and despite the major backlash against the update, we still have no communication as to why we need to have this awful nonsense.
Dismissive comments like this that don’t understand the full impact of the update don’t help us get our point across that Roblox is strongarming choice from developers and hiding them behind incredibly obscure settings. New and veteran developers alike just want to create experiences and prototype using ephemeral experiences without them being automatically registered into the cloud or leaving us at the mercy of already bad platform uptime, as demonstrated above and in the past.

We don’t want an update like this, and can’t with the site deciding to lock all cloud based games behind a TC error every saturday, because other games destroy the website.
All personal feelings for those games aside, it’s incredibly annoying to have to put up with this.

I’m fairly certain that offline studio does not exists anymore. Studio seems to require internet to even start. You can lose connection while studio is open, but test mode also seems to require internet to function. I’ll admit that the last time I’ve properly tried this was in 2019, but I doubt that has changed since. The reasoning they gave for no longer supporting offline mode were pretty awful though. But if they did restore offline mode, then good on them.

Correct. You can’t open Roblox while you’re offline.
When you’re using studio on a local file, but go offline, you’ll go into “offline mode” which pretty much makes almost everything useful in Studio useless

I know you can’t start Studio offline anymore (which they should consider bringing back eventually), but I remember not being closed out of the place I was editing if the computer goes into sleep mode or if I lose internet, but only on places that have team create turned off.

I can’t say that I can support this decision. Roblox, please take feedback from the developers that drive your platform before making such drastic changes.

Its not really changes, its just now when you make a new game oh sorry experience it will automatically have team create on which idc about, just why even announce it?
Team Create is basically the most buggy feature of Roblox Studio, you get disconnected, you have to reconnect, you try scripts, you will have to wander around the internet for 30 minutes to find out how to turn them in, you will get kicked out for no reason, and a lot more, and they’re forcing Devs to use this even though the biggest Devs on the platform don’t even use Team Create and most of the Devs are Indie Devs (Solo Devs) that don’t need Team Create, we’ve been asking for Local Studio and they give us this, Roblox doesn’t listen to his Devs that keep up the platform, and I think you should disable Team Create before you will have problems with games (I had a game that kicked me out every 5 minutes because of Team Create and I was still a beginner) Team Create isn’t even useful for working in team

Roblox just wants money, they dont care about us when they should because we make them money.
As for it being buggy that has never happened for me, but i do have a team that works with me so i would need to have it on
Yeah, that’s basically everything every company wants, MONEY, and the people that make them money are simply statistics, pawns, I think that if everyone stops developing on Roblox they are gonna listen to us, because
NO DEVELOPERS = NO MONEY
NO MONEY = ROBLOX SLOWLY DIES
ROBLOX SLOWLY DIES = ROBLOX TRIES TO SURVIVE
ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE = GIVE DEVS WHAT THEY WANT OR
SIMPLY DIE
I know a lot of people rely on Roblox for money but this would be the only way to open Roblox’s eyes…
