@frozen this thread isn't to argue, its about making it toggleable. If you want to argue go start your own thread
in fact, by posting on here you pretty much just enlisted yourself on the petition |

You cant anyways. The future of Roblox is going to be a block shaped 3D game. Then you always have outlines. |

@frozen, very late response so you might not get to read it.
"you will see that the lines are far more obvious thicker and more black. So that's the
direction the outlines are most likely to go."
I saw that, but...
It doesn't have to be that way.
But it will be that way. At the thickness they have now they don't surve their purpose, many people claim they didn't even notice them, or turn the quality down so they don't have to notice them, to reach the "unified aesthetics future Lego look of Roblox" goal they can only become more obvious (something most great builders don't want to see happen), at this point they're just an experiment/joke.
By "building with" the outlines, I'm not just meaning making them blend.
I'm meaning incorporation as well
But I want to build in a realistic style, not a cartoon. So the only way to make that work is to hide the outlines. Or work around them. I had some Photoshop lessons a while ago and one of the first assignments was to draw an object as realistic as possible. My object had lines around it, I still remember my teacher advicing me to loose the lines (even thought they really appeared on the object) because lines make it look too much like a cartoon/drawing, to achieve a realistic effect you must avoid lines! This applies in Roblox building as well. Grass, sand, doors, walls, people,... don't have an outline.
"Well, let's just say black lines around everything in games apparantly
looks professional."
Kinda true, but only for amateur builders. Outlines are also childish and cartoonlike. when you start building with them everything will look childish and cartoonlike. they are very limiting for a builder that knows what he's doing. That's why I want them toggleable, with default setting "on". So that they can benefit amateur builders but not limit the pro's.
Just a few of the many places that look LESS professional with outlines:

http://www.roblox.com/Eden-place?id=45848638
http://www.roblox.com/My-Brain-place?id=73839255
""the only change outlines can have is thickness, color and a possibility to
turn them off."
Really? So not the ability to disappear when it's behind a block and would
otherwise be invisible?
So not the ability to disappear at connections?
So not the ability to determine thier sharpness?
(Thickness are sharpness are different)
So not the ability to use other methods to control outlines,
such as... say amorphus blocks?
So not the ability to increase the distance of visiblity for an outline?"
Doesn't matter what you change about them, outlines will always be outlines. And outlines (no matter how they look or act) will always limit the feeling of realism. Forcing builders to give up on their personal building style to conform to the Lego style that roblox has in mind for the future. Outlines don't need to change, they need to be removed or made optional.
"And the liquid game page I'll do when it reaches a certain point-
No point doing these long and tedious posts for threads that aren't as popular."
Liquid game page > 700 replies.
Toggleable outlines > 400 replies.
The liquid game page thread is far more popular, and the liquid page is actually a thread about "we want Roblox to never change", while the outlines are about "we want Roblox to change. But only for the better". And reducing Roblox from a platform to a sandbox game is a change for the worst (outlines are the first big (but not last) step in this change).
"I'd call myself a prophet, trying to evangelise people from self-asceticism."
(I'm actually an atheist, but I'll give it a go.)
Oh, prophet please tell me, how can I reach Roblox and let them know that the direction away from a platform towards a sandbox game is the wrong direction. (Because that's what this actually is all about, it's bigger than "I think the outlines don't look good". And I've explained my point multiple times extensively) while being "constructive".

I personally dislike them, but I know a few games where they could be useful, so have them toggle-able would be useful. |
|

Toggle-able or simply removed. Support
