Firelands is a clusterf*ck.


I shudder to think what it is like on a PvP server. The ultimate carebears on Feathermoon think they are cool for flagging on the thrall questline. It literally took me an hour or more to complete the thrall questline becuz of these people who act all hard by flagging on an RP-PvE server, hopping on a flying mount, and landing when they have 10 to 1 advantage. It's kinda funny in a way. You can easily make them go away by organizing resistance. They scatter like ducks when more than 3 horde start fighting back.


And the actual dailies? Seriously, GC, really? 75 people minimum in the same area trying to heal Wounded Protectors? How freaking stupid do you have to be to keep making the same GD mistakes? Over and over. Now you have 5 people standing on an NPC spawn point either in line or trying to use that potion as fast as they can. How immersive is that, eh? "Oh a wounded guy will spawn soon, Stupidcrappynamedguy, it is your turn next, Guynamedlikeamoron, you are after." SOOOO many people trying to do the same thing.


Basically it occurs to me that the Devs are sandbox oriented, developing content for a Massive world.

"Basically it occurs to me that the Devs are sandbox oriented, developing content for a Massive world."

I feel like WoW has been using this approach from day one. I daresay it is even part of their broad appeal... instead of a continuous world you get theme parks by zone. It's part of why Azeroth has never felt like a massive, living world to me or my friends who are all old school MMO vets. And we see this every time new content comes out--it can't be helped that everyone will flock to the only new thing to do. Remember Quel'Danis? Just the nature of new content.

Coulda just typed +1. Snarky is so yesterday.

I don't think you understand what the term sandbox means.

 

-----signature-----

Oh, I think I do.

Cramming a ton of people into a small area with new content with no respect for how overcrowded that area will be as 50+ people fight over a spawn of 10...yea, I think I understand sandbox pretty well. Also see Isle of Quel Danas and Argent Tournament.

Yep, now I'm sure you don't understand what sandbox means.

This is been WOW's course for several years. You come here spouting off like you expected firelands to be something different. Why would the come up with something new when this model has worked pretty well for them for years.

I think you expect too much from a video game that has been around as long as WOW has.

It isn't a sandbox, it's an overcrowded amusement park.

Just fyi, no biggie, I agree on the bad design, but what sandbox means in the MMORPG world is (very) different from how you are using.


Again just an fyi, your point about the very bad design is quite valid.
