Shouldn't the themepark vs sandbox discussion be in its own thread? Right mods? |

lol @ the poll results. You should probably never make amusing joke options when doing polls, they are too tempting and banana is just fun to say! (I voted banana) |

Why does it even matter if GW2 is a sandbox or themepark? It will still be fun and entertaining. My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheExplorium MMORPG.com is like 4chan, but for gamers. WoW already does WoW good. PvPers that gank newbies, are carebears. They don't want a challenge (like a carebear), they just want easy mode (like a carebear) and a no challenge combat (like a carebear). |

Originally posted by austriacus Because MMORPG .com forum goers can't spend a day without debating what a sandbox/themepark is and whether this game or not is a themepark/sandbox. It's like an obsession. Seriously just wish these terms would die. It becomes less about whether the game is fun and has fun elements and more about whether a game has this feature that makes it a sandbox or not. Search the forums, we have thousands of threads on this topic like this, and plenty that devolved into debates like this one. What we need to do is stop trying to group games into categories and worry more about how good the game is on it's own merits.  |

Originally posted by Isasis Beause someone had to state that GW2 had sandbox game play in it, when it doesn't, and then they went on to try to argue the point and still cannot list anything that suggest that GW2 has sandbox elements in it. As for me, I think the game is nothing more than another themepark game. Just a different take on it. And as I said earlier, as long as the game doesn't bore me to tears within the first few hours of game play - it might be a decent game for what it is. |

Ok... sounds like WoW has changed a bit since I last played. Oh and if your going to make a post like this at least state all the facts, and get them right. 1.1 You don't HAVE to pay to respawn at a waypoint when you die, anyone can res anyone, regardless of class or skill loadout. They can even do it while your in the downed state (so you don't die); it's called teamwork and it saves lives. 1.2 You only get less and less downed time if you die frequently "each point goes away after one minute", so if you're going down 4 times in a minute your clearly in bad spot and probably should die. Personally I love the idea of the downed state, it adds tension without being overpower (you still die pretty damn quick if your vastly out matched). I can't comment on the death panelty (armour repair cost) as I haven't played the game, but IMO it should be at least significant to the point that death is the last resort. 2. The mob AI is varied, how varied I don't know, but I wouldn't jump to any conclusions based on one or two videos / press reports. Also, I don't know what videos you've been watching but mobs (with the exception of bosses / special mobs) seem to go down pretty quick and some of them do come in packs. Variety, it's the spice of life. In conclusion, no I do not think ArenaNet needs to delay Guild Wars 2 or rethink their plans (with the possible exception of crafting, but again I haven't played it)... and this being an MMO, things can and will change over time, whether that's for be better or worse only time will tell, but I for one am willing to take the ride. |

May as well pick any random topic here and bitch about it. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept.

It would be like if I went to a drama movie aimed for women...and started ranting and complaining and going into every detail why the movie sucks.
Of course, discussing why I don't like the movie is fine. But not if I spent 24/7 complaining and ranting about how much the movie and genre sucks.
Or in gaming terms. I greatly dislike EVE and SWTOR, but I don't go to those forums and complain 24/7 (like some do with SWTOR) about how much it sucks and how it should die and no one should have fun with it.
My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheExplorium MMORPG.com is like 4chan, but for gamers. WoW already does WoW good. PvPers that gank newbies, are carebears. They don't want a challenge (like a carebear), they just want easy mode (like a carebear) and a no challenge combat (like a carebear). |

Originally posted by Wickedjelly I'll go to the EVE forums and rant 24/7 about how much I dislike it and that the genre it is based in sucks. I would get banned right quick.
Some people here are having an honest discussion, but I do often see the same person ranting and complaining in every post about GW2. MMOExposed was a big one, but I think he got banned. And the OP is obviously a troll, he even states "never played it or knows anything" and yet is an expert of how the game is. If someone said that about EVE in its forums, EVERYONE would flame the poster and report the post.
The same thing happens in the SWTOR forums...(some) of the same posters 24/7 saying how much it sucks.

Originally posted by tank017 Just because it isn't a sandbox, doesn't mean it won't change the genre...just look at WoW, EQ and DAOC. More themepark games have changed the genre than sandbox. I think the only successful sandbox (MMO) is EVE. Which is kind of a drag for sandbox people, since they are limited in their genre.
In any case, ArcheAge looks like it will be great for sandbox fans...if only to be a pirate and sail ships :D that sounds awesome. But that is another topic, really.
