The "true sandbox" is an unrealistic vision. It's as simple as that. I've wanted one for the longest time, but now it is the morality loss of players that prevents it. MMO developers understand this. You will have to compromise.
so since my definition of how I want to play in a sandbox is different from yours, im not playing in the sandbox right?
Im making a castle on my side of the sandbox, your on the other side digging holes and playing with tonka trucks screaming "WTF you doing? its sand..people dig sand, move it around drive trucks thru it..you dont even know how to use this playground box of sand right...geez"
we are PvP vs PvE.
I want to stock the store with coke, you with pepsi..we will never agree. and both think the other is doing it wrong
why I was leaving...since getting you to see my point of
"well if its a sandbox, what if I dont want to have to hide so I dont die while taking a piss..give me my safe area"
and I cant see yours of "its a sandbox, I should be abel to kill you anywhere anyhow"
then is it truly a sandbox either way?
is its a sandbox if a PvE is forced into someone elses playstyle because they want to PvP inside thier totem? on the other hand, is it a sandbox if the PvPer cant attack anyone anywhere?
either side of out argument is biased towards what we want, BOTH pushing it away from sandbox gameplay..
they are not true sandboxes, they failed to deliver the amount of sand the community was looking for. most offers just the pvp and combat, with no features that matterd. thats why this game is diffrent from them all.
theres no comparison to this game at the moment, and that is why it is special...should they be able to deliver all stated features and overcome their technical difficulties that is...thechnical difficulties will chase away even the most hardcore sandbox fans unfortunatly.
also, this game would kill for an audience the size of darkfalls, so dont knock what they have done, they just failed to cater to the pve crowd by not making any pve in the game sanbox or entertaining, as this game already has done.
yea ahs nothing to do with the millions and millions of MMO players that can testify to the fact that many many others like them left games because of PvE vs PvP arguements or disagree ments..
its all MY fault that these people can never agree...I admit the blame is mine..I am solely the reason that a good PvE/PvP mmo has never made it..
No they are not always right, look at UO from what it was to what EA gave the wanting little gimmes. A person could have a good idea, but people are always stupid. For once devs need to stay true to their vision instead of trying to make one product fit the image of the entitlements
