WE NEED CHANGE! ❌

[echo dagger]

Change is inevitable.

I’m not sure how to “fix” current issues with the game. I do miss the game in its previous format where legions and war was chucked in every now and again. I have since stopped playing actual matches.

I am an OG and I love Sandbox but more the building side than actually playing unfortunately. Games are too hit and miss (too easy or too hard).

I don’t have the answer though.

Village never should have been added to the map.

What they should have done is have the normal map. But every X games it's the Original Map. Actual original but this BS "Classic Map" which is the first time it's ever appears.

In terms of Game Modes it should be something like first week of the month is War. Second week the two teams have broken off, Legions.
Not around for long but would make those 2 weeks more of an event.

@tiny ginkgo
Or @stark pumice
Is there any update about bringing back the actual map?
Seems like an update would be more than fair. Working on it? A date? No plan to ever bring it back?

[stark pumice]

We're working our asses off to try and bring the quantum to the millennium, the quilted to the massless and the tomorrows, to the todays.. you really asking if we're planning on bringing back a different map.. we've got at least 1250 hrs. before we dawn a new matrix.. and it ain't gonna be smooth

Right @night umbra ?

[crude ferry]

Sounds like ‘working on it’ but that’s my best guess

[dusty lantern]

I like how they said they'll release a roadmap. Which was just a couple vague promises with no dates. And now they're making big changes with no announcements.

[tiny ginkgo]

The evolving map will be back with the next updated

[grave ore]

If there are periods of time where we only have one map, we would prefer the map with Metro...

[dusty lantern]

Rough date?

[tiny ginkgo]

Can't provide an exact. Late April ish

[grave ore]

The fallback map should have been the map prior to embedding sandbox into it.

[echo dagger]

If it was the metro/kingdom map, guaranteed someone would of complained.

[dusty lantern]

Will Sandbox be on the map or hopefully that's been removed and the map has been restored.

[tiny ginkgo]

A new Sandbox map will be where Sacred Village was

[dusty lantern]

That's a shame 😕

I'll let you know how I interpreted it:
March 30th is the end of the month, so returning in April feels like it just needs a server reset. (so expected around April 1st) The next map should have been ready before the previous one was shut off.

RE: Sacred Village
I hated sacred village anyways. It felt like it was out of place and stitched in. Also being red and green it wasn't very nice to us colorblind players. I could still see, but it was a little harder especially with some skins.

[grave ore]

Maybe, but I would bet it would be much closer to zero.

[tiny ginkgo]

this is good feedback, ty!

[crude ferry]

Same interpretation. Thx for a clear answer @tiny ginkgo

LETS PROTEST INFRONT OF BIGBOX STUDIOS ‼️‼️‼️

(do not protest infront of bigbox studios)

[grave ore]

It's okay, I doubt anyone cares that much. It's only been a couple of weeks. It was just a little odd place to end up for what we thought was real temporary.

[hexed talon]

i’m joking lmao

[tall edge]

Yes I thought returning in April meant the 1st so just a days/or night downtime

[tall edge]

We want something new and exciting - but not that something new and exciting 😂😂😂😝

[dusty lantern]

More it being Sandbox.
Hasn't been as popular as they thought and they're just pushing it on us more and more.

I'll rather have a new area of the map they made with softwares like Kingdom or Metro rather then in game assets that is Sandbox.

[echo dagger]

I think you’re not giving the community enough credit with what could be made/created which could easily fit into the regular map.

[echo dagger]

I want X.
But what about Y and Z
Z isn’t good enough
Y is better than Z and X
I disagree
Why limit yourself to those three letters?

[dusty lantern]

But it's the lazy option for big box (getting us to make the new locations) and the quality is not going to be the same.
I've only met a couple people who liked village. Most hated it.

[echo dagger]

I don’t like village either. I quite enjoy making maps, as you may know and know a lot of others do too. There are a lot of maps/designs better than sacred village. I think they had to throw something in place of outpost and sacred village fitted. I’m hoping (and almost know with the talent we have) that the next addition to replace Village will be good. Will everyone like it? No. Would everyone like to see outpost back? No. Can’t please everyone but at this point, a game over 2 years old for the low cost it is/was ain’t doing too bad.

[dusty lantern]

Yeah I hate deathmatch so hated playing Sandbox. Even worse when you got the Sandbox daily challenges every other day with no way to remove them. So 2/3 dailies were just there.

I've done a bit of building, only to create sets for filming scenes. I've studied animation and VFX and the actual interface for building was terrible. Eventually found world and object orientation hidden away.

Personally they never should have merged Sandbox area into the map. Just feel cheap plus it gave the feeling that from this point the only map update would be that area with a different Sandbox Map. Although no one expected it to be as little as 3 weeks.

Annoyingly for me is it appeared halfway though my tournament. So had to create a lore reason for it appearing. And now it's was being removed I had to write the scenes and quickly film it without any VA lines.

I am tempted to make a video of people pitching what they would do with the game if they were the creative director. Just thinking over the format.

[shrewd tusk]

LMAO sandbox is packed if you look at the rooms list. Your lazy take is just you stating that you don't like Sandbox Jon and trying to generalize that it's failing when its actually thriving.

[dusky loom]

you understand SV was built by BB right? also that BB does all importing and tweaking of anything picked to go there too... think you just lack the knowledge of what goes into it and the potential here...

granted no idea why i bothered typing this as you have blocked me in discord so cant see it 🤣

[stark pumice]

Bro, the lore store has been serving dogg loggers since before you read your first mom blogg.. and after you spend another millenia red zone dipping your way around the outside of the map maybe the radiation damage will wear off the solid state memory whipe and you'll begin to remember the truth you haven't experienced before.. best videogame in history hands down no question not even close.. and the speed of exceleration is excelerating on its own

Right @night umbra ?

[grave ore]

Not enough seretonin release. Need more seretonin release now!

[strange tinsel]

agree!!
