The UserID spam basically crashed the devforum and buried all actual feedback LOL…

To anyone involved, please choose a different method next time.

They should’ve kept it as a form. :person_shrugging:

I wonder how they’re going to extract them.

Good luck to the intern that has to manually copy-paste each one :skull:.

Possibly copy the raw page and extract all the numbers from it, it’s probably the easiest way of doing this, but some messages are bound to have unrelated numbers, so maybe not?

Yeah, saw the method of getting the item and though it was quite a backwards way of deciding to do it. Just seems overly complicated knowing that 90% of the people wanting the item wont care what the post is about. Someone else suggested a form but in truth they should had just released the item for free directly onto the Roblox catalogue.

just use ai \j

they really should have just done a form with one input lol

Jokes aside the new asset manager looks pretty good and tomorrow I’m definitely watching the tutorials.

Could an engineer potentially shed some light on this new method added to AssetService?

By the name, it sounds really promising - a potential way to create SurfaceAppearances at runtime?

I assume this is because of the new price changes based on region?

Well, I believe not only as for far as I know, allowing your gamepass to adjust its price based on regional pricing is optional
