Sandbox = Crafting ?

[Pitty]

With all the current trending on sandbox games, wondering if Defiance will implement any sandbox features.

Quoted from another thread about another game.

Crafting is definitely a cornerstone of a traditional sandbox, along with PvP.

Crafters supply equipment and items of all kinds, from weapons and armor to constructions, to the PvPers to fight with. These can be destroyed to create a constant demand for crafting.

PvPers fight over territory containing valuable resources for the crafters to make things with. These are used up in crafting to create a constant demand for the territories containing the materials.

Those two demands interacting with each other is generally what creates the dynamic player-driven world of a sandbox.

That being said, I'm sure it's not the only way to create a dynamic player-driven world. But it's one way that's been proven to work.

I would love to hear about crafting ingame myself, I'm wondering if they would throw in ATV/Car/Truck crafting with weapons/mods and armour along the same format as Fallen Earth with the amount of effort it required in said game.

During the alpha livestream I asked in chat and they told us they were not ready to talk about crafting yet . I can't wait to get info about it soon !

I think that sucks if there is no crafting...You can't call a game a MMO with out crafting in it.

You can definitely call something an MMO without crafting. An MMO stands for Massive Multiplayer Online after all not Massive Multiplaying Crafting Simulator.

Your right ,but I look at real MMO's have crafting in it. It gives you a break from questing or gear grinding... more and more I feel this game is going to be FTP..It's just a thought.

You don't need crafting though. It's not like it's required to make a good game.

I respect your thought but I disagree with you 100%.

mmorpg.com posted that crafting will not be in game on release .

"Defiance will be a bit lighter on the MMO mechanics (no crafting at launch, for example), but I feel what I was able to experience so far may strike a happy medium of appealing to both crowds."

I have even more respect now for Trion ! I rather not be told broken promises from a Dev team and don't do what they say they were going to do for release . On that note I hope to see crafting after release of Defiance .
