Innovation (2018)

Innovation (2018) is a Roblox event sponsored by the new Marvel Studios film, Black Panther. It began on February 5, 2018, and ended on February 18th.

Criticism

 * Build Battle! segment received criticism for it being “Pay to Win” with the extra colors gamepass and how players with budget PCs were having issues as the GUIs are too large to build on 1366x768 displays, however general issues were identified as being the unnecessarily long intermissions and no way to specifically vote for Innovation event themes.
 * It was also criticized for being way too difficult to obtain the prizes on Build Battle!.
 * Miner's Haven Resurrection segment had received some criticism because of the objective for the Black Panther - Spear taking too long as you had to wait over 1,000 seconds (over 16 minutes) with unupgraded ore and you would be kicked from the server for idling for 20 minutes. More experienced players would have an easier time getting the Spear as they own more advanced items that fill up the generator faster. Such items include traits like faster ore drop rate and bigger "upgrade count" (one upgrader can apply 20 upgrades at once).
 * Moon Tycoon had received criticism for not saving prizes and how people would constantly camp near the flag. It was also criticized for the boss being really easy to defeat even with the weakest gun.
