Damage is also done client side, if you intercept the packet that deals with damage (very easy to do) and manipulate it and block the right value and replace it with a higher one, you can max out your damage with any weapon.

Oh yea resource gathering, also client side. You can mine Gabora or whatever you want (or any mix of this) from a flower. The catch also, is that you can mine it an unlimited amount of time afk.

"Savior". We've heard that one just a few times before.

the sandbox SUB-genre does not need saving.

 

it's the themeparks that are crumbling left and right.

 

Sandboxes that weren't born dead or aren't 2D and as old as the pyramids are doing great. (aka the only one of them).

 

 

Serious question, because I have been searching, what is the 'one' you are refering to? I really hope you are not talking about DF (because full loot and housing does not make a game a sandbox. Most seem to think that anything that is not a quest hub themepark is a sandbox)

 

Beyond having full loot pvp what does DF have that other themeparks dont have?

i was referring to EVE.

 

what does eve have that themeparks don't ?

 

a continuously rising playerbase 10 years later. :D. And that is not something many MMO ever have been able to claim.

OK good DF is far from any type of sandbox, dunno what to call it really beyond a pvp arena. EVE I could never get into sadly

Its not ingame, and its because of there own choosing. They didnt listen to the playerbase at ALL. I put up a thread when i first found out about it on there site and had a poll of if they should keep the full loot, take it out, rework it or other. It was at 85% literally for keeping full loot till they closed the thread and said that its to late to change the loot system back as they have already moved forward with what they worked up (without ever asking a sole about what we wanted). So i find it hilarious they said they changed the loot system based on player feedback as that is not the case at all. They are trying to go more themepark

So why does anyone want a full loot system?

So why would anyone want to play in a game where dying in pvp means simply respawning? If you played the original ER (which I am going to go out on a limb and say no you didnt) with all its flaws, the only thing that was 'fun' about it was the pvp and the intensity of losing everything (that you had on you, not banked). It was not just another carbon copy of the themepark pvp system going around. But sadly that is where the game is headed now, which means it will have 0 playerbase as this game is not built up to be a themepark like they want it to be. 

I, thank goodness, did not purchase the founder pack stuff they have going on. I am actually an ER vet (played it from beta till a few months before its close) and they did let me in the alpha simply through an alpha app. The game to this point literally has nothing new in it. Actually a lot of stuff is disabled that makes it even worth playing at all (gain exp but have no way of using it on skills, can gain mats but no crafting system at all). It is highway robbery to charge someone, especially with the state of the game right now, to alpha test this game when they dont even have any of what they want to 'test' ingame yet.

I never make threads here but just wanted to share my opinion as this game is worth it. I initially played the free trial, and got bored of the game really fast as I had no idea what was going on and it was all looking so bland...

I then continued my mmorpg hop I have been doing for the last year and a half, did some DFUW beta, some Earthrise Alpha... But I kept coming to mmorpg and looking for something else... all the while I kept reading 'Age of wushu is so awesome' but just couldnt figure out what these people seen. So I said forget it, ill just spend the 20, sub and really force myself to play till I atleast understand the game overall.

Well now I understand the game pretty well after 2 weeks (really started to understand it after a good 2 or 3 days) and I think I finally found a new home after mmorpg hoping the last few years. The game is extremely fun and addicting. The 'daily' activities are actually enjoyable to do (well spy missions are not as much, but they are more exciting in comparision to other mmorpg's daily quest). The pvp when you start getting strong is different in a good fun way. When I first joined an escort raid I pretty much got one shot and was tempted to quit then too, glad I didnt. 

To end, this game has a LOT to offer (to much for me to describe this late at night). The biggest hurdle is getting over the learning curve as the translation sucks REALLY bad, but once you understand the game it is outstanding. I have never played an asian/kungfu themed game as it is not really my style. This game delievers so much though I cant help but love it (the jumping/flying skills are also a fun different feel)

Crazy they are asking people for money when they have a game that contains so much broken content....
