1. Claim your game is some awesome open world sandbox like UO and eve. 2. Cash in on your kick starter. 3. Add modes to allow people to not have to leave the safe haven and risk losing gear.

I think the idea for the arenas is to give people a legit way to practice GvG's.... if 5v5 is a core component of their game, its kinda weird to make it so inaccessible to everyone. That being said -- I kind of wish there were a limit on the number of arenas you could do OR make it so you have to farm a resource only availabnle in blackzones to use them.

Arena isn't going to kill open world pvp. For one this game is bad and the 5v5 format is boring and terrible.

Gotta remember at the same time theyre adding arenas, theyre buffing open world and adding open world content too... for example, you will be able to control territories through open world, not just through GvG.

You were alright for a few weeks then you got some wind in your sails, a couple lackeys and thought you were the puppet master of goons. Again... what's new?

It's funny how everyone kinda shoots themselves in the foot by demonizing goon guilds in pvp games as trash bad noob hitlers, which just increases their perceived injury when we kill them.

He's not wrong in the fact that they basically built 3 games in the span of 2-3 years. So basically we played a slightly different game each time. The problem they have is that they have zero other content once you get out of "killing dudes". They have a MMO with no MMO, and that's their problem. All they have is a bad moba gameplay engine with multiplayer. There is no content or nothing to do. I would probably be playing the game still if there was something to do other than grinding to +betterrererer gear. Litterally nothing is different about anything in the game except a magic TIER VIII grats. Bad mmo design all around. I tried for years to get it changed and they simply wouldn't listen and felt that balancing hammer damage, and adding flagging was clearly the key to victory.

Isnt the whole idea that you create your own content(castles) in the game(sandbox)?

Sand = PVP, e-politics, territory control, controlling resources/dungeons -- I dunno, itd be one thing if there was no PVP to be found but theres tons of it... Im stil unsure of what kind of content youre looking for? Theres content for small groups and big groups -- you guys all solo players?

Yeah but there is no drive for anything in the open world, except for mindless pvp. The pvp in this game is super simple and easy, there isn't anything to fight over in an open world environment that's worth anything. There is no reason to fight, other than to fight itself. That just means there's no depth or thought in the game.

At the end of beta, my character REPLOSS in cougs had a 24:1 kill/death ratio. Ratios and stats in this game are garbage and mean nothing. The simple fact that they have zero content in an mmo is still their problem. People will pick it up for a week, get to T4, and wonder why they continue to play to get to a magic tier 5 which is no different. 1v1 in T8 is exactly the same as 1v1 in T4. So really what is the point..? The main problem in this game is exactly what 1001 said. There is nothing to do except go looking for fights. So by that fact, they're dull as gently caress. It's just a bunch of people running around looking to kill other people, and the 5 casual gathers. Because of this, there is nothing really organic that happens in this make believe sandbox. It's basically a box with no sand and a few toys (pvp) in it. There is no way to change the game into something you want other than to play with those same toys. On top of this they are dumb enough to instance a sandbox, which has lead to reduced pvp encounters since people were allowed to tier up to T8 sitting in town. The PvP Arena will only degrade black pvp to the point of mass zergs fighting only over timers. The rest of the population will slowly decay into non existence like it was in betas. Everyone else will be in arenas touting their elite win ratios, and the goon guild(s) will be left to zerg in black when they can find them and talk about how they are best in stats or something.

Blazing Zero posted:nice meltdown Friend Blazing, I think you've witnessed enough of my actual meltdowns to know when I'm melting down and when I'm smugposting. Though to be fair there if you err on the side of meltdown, you might not be wrong But in a more substantive vein, I had a lot of hope that SI would have added more sandbox content, but after their MLG420N0SCOPE direction with 5v5 that they were vehemently adhering to and instancing was increasing, I had a feeling they wouldn't go that way. The double edged sword is when the grind was high, there was something to do to fill in the content gaps, but many didn't want to grind. Now the grind is reduced, but they didn't plug the gap with more content. - It's the EVE Online quandary, which isn't shocking considering how much SI was open about emulating CCP's formula -- the fights themselves in both games are fun, but the poo poo you have to do in between and prepping for fights is boring and awful.

Don't worry, our stats will never be good! There have been so many attempts on here and reddit to define elements of sand box metaphors that I am really starting to think maybe if you have to explain your symbolism that it's bad symbolism. The grind is still pretty harsh and is the primary motivator to get out into black zones right now. It's funny how many people ragequit before even reaching 100 focus in a single weapon and then quit and complain saying the game is dead blah blah when they will probably just resub in a few months after the first couple content patches.
