Tbh about multitile, i dont think they made so much research about it, more like they got around the problem by implementing gliders.... wich is a bad decision imo.

yeah true

Yeah i agree about the business part.  But dont forget that they are trying to do something different, and lets be honest, if all the "sandox" mmos of today are failures, we wont have what we WANT to play for the next ten years.

But your right better ask and say that your unhappy with something, than just leave. At least you show dedication to the project.  IMO they are trying to "unify" seeral gameplay types that we players love, all that in a persistent world, and it is FOR SURE very hard. But if it works, the next generation of players will enjoy even further complexity of gamedesigns and player interactions.

Thats why i say "be cool on the dev team", even if we are customers, they are making something hard, would they just want to make money it would be a F2P korean style mmo. ***.  What i dont want is the whole playerbase to sharpen the pitchforks, then one day they say "Ok you won guys we surrender and close the server"...

Potential + Time + Good feedback =  sandbox?

When i ear you guys speak of prey, meal and eat, it makes me laugh. What you think you some sort of ultimate predators at the top of the "food chain"? You just some nolives with too much time on their hands and certainly a big inferiority complex irl.

Give up your superior posture maybe youll enjoy more the game.

Maybe you starve just because many peoples realize the server is full of ***?  lol

Each evening before going to bed, i pray God for a new war somewhere in the world, so you get sent faster... 

jk i like you my master of execration. What would be the world without dumb soldiers? What would be the forum without phat trolls?  Thats it, a paradise...  Boring. Now stfu and go make your daily trololol post.

Minus the useless ones hes got one thousand time more

Why not, when introducing gamma islands, introducing same type of islands, but without pvp and without player terraforming/PBS, only NPC ones?

Obviously, devs would have to develop the idea some of us had to permit NPBS and even NPC terraforming routines.  Now you got very interesting pve content in the way that each npc base is new and different, and that devs can adjust npc base/construction rate/spawn etc.. to the population and pve demand.  Pve is soooo boring in this game, even with good IA, the IA alone does nothing except more challenge, more bugs and more time to farm.

So who is for "epsilon" or whatever islands, where npcs roam freely, find spots to build their bases, terraform, construct, even mine stuff. With challenge. With good incentive (loot) to destroy a full settlement. Without PVP. Lorewise its credible. And i dont think its sooo much work on the IA side. That would attract many many new/old gamers back to the game.

Dont it surprise you that in this mmo, and its almost the only one where PVE "HL" or endgame whatever you call it, you can make it at 2 or 3 skilled players no more.  Sup obs? A vaga mk2 and a good dps and its done....

WHERE are the threat that need 20+ players to kill?  I dont think of big mobs, i think of big bases. PBS can easily become NPBS...

Your ironical style just unsuccesfully try to hide the fact that you cannot contradict me with any valid argument. Its not the player job to know when to stop hitting, its the referee, in that case the devteam, that need to prevent what you call "griefing". I dont come from FOOM, but what is sure is that you dont know more than me what your talking about.

  Any action made by a player, or a group of players, within the ruleset edicted by the developers, is the responsibilty of said developer. If those actions end up with bad game experience or peoples leaving the game, not any of the acting player can be considered responsible of that. Only the peoples that dictate the rules. Try to contradict that...

i was having a (certainly poor) idea how to balance a bit walls and probes. That would prevent gretly wall spamming, and would restore pvp:

Add a pvp tag to OPs. When a walls segment is destroyed, the OP in the same area forbid the docking in, only docking out is possible during a set timer. That would need some other rules, like making field can available for anyone passed 10mn of inactivity or something like that. No more easy epriton mining then....
But it certainly could be abused to grief...  anyhow i feel like there something to work on this way.

Yeah while your at it, if making mesmer accu stable, gimme twice or three time more dps with my gropho.... 

Do you guys realize if devs heard you on those nerf this boost that threads, every bot would be the same? You want accu stable?  Gropho is this way>>>    Now if you like more your over the top alpha strike, just stay with your bot and stfu

False. False. FALSE.

I did it pretty well in a mesmer not mk2 and no max extensions.  Its called micromanagement, kiting...otherwise.. playing good?

Lets recap the wish of the OP:

-kill the fastest possible (mesmer dps) for max profit
-tank the spawn (so no kiting just easymode pve)
-do it neverendlessly (not a second wasted to regen while pveing)

Man do you realize you want everything?

Ressources localisation FTW.  I wonder why it was not implemented at the beginning. Its so obvious....

Some may say it could create lockdown situations where nobody could create anything, or even worst a single entity would access alone the whole panel of ressources.  I say -no way-

Something like this is a bit too much and not very balanced/tought out, but you got the point.

Imagine how much it would "dynamize" the market/professions/circulation of ressources and NIC.  And PVP. Cause with that, you not just kill some miner to disable ennemies produciton capacity.  You try to CONQUER land. You try to get the ore, because you can sell it much money if your the only producer. That make everyone angry against you, and coalitions are created just to stop the "specific ressource" lockdown. INCENTIVES to PVP. More than KB epeen and taunt in GC...  Maybe that would make the game enjoyable for more peoples. Or not

I cant see the bad side of that but surely there is one, just enlighten me...

Raw material trade inhibition happens only when every material is dispatched evenly trough the whole world.

Make some ressource localisation and you have both long range haul/trade AND pvp incentives.
