Jacket and Ryan 85 / 4,491 Report Post Posted February 4, 2017 Edited February 4, 2017 by Potato Does anyone think GFL should have a sandbox server? Edited February 4, 2017 by Potato "Execute Order 66." -Emperor Palpatine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faex 486 / 8,697 Report Post Posted February 4, 2017 I've suggested this before, and I believe the answer was no. After consideration, I now realize why this was previously denied. I've been to one or two Sandbox servers before, and I left after about 30 minutes because I was bored. People nowadays don't play Gmod to create things (Unless it's modding), they play it to play on servers and join communities like GFL. I can see that population will rise, and then immediately drop to a number less than two because I'm fairly certain that is not what GFL members want. Most of you remember CWRP, that failed not only because it wasn't ready (Even though from what I heard it had six months to get up and running), but because a lot of people didn't want it. So why would we think something different would happen for a Sandbox server? I'd appreciate it if someone would correct me if there are any corrections to be made. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198058101056/ "...You do a thing and it becomes the paint others will use on their canvas of the internet for their memes" - Michael Stevens, Vsauce ________________________________ 2014 - 2020 Thanks for the good times, kings.

Too many and you'll have a long download time, too little and there's not a lot to go around. Regardless, there's a lot of things that you can do, but you can do all of them in a short playthrough. People will eventually get bored of the server because they've already done everything within a week or two, and the server will become a ghost-town. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198058101056/ "...You do a thing and it becomes the paint others will use on their canvas of the internet for their memes" - Michael Stevens, Vsauce ________________________________ 2014 - 2020 Thanks for the good times, kings.

Hey it worth a shot with that extra $1400 in GFL's back pocket. "Execute Order 66." -Emperor Palpatine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure those are there as backup money or savings for future incentives. And no, it's not worth a shot. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198058101056/ "...You do a thing and it becomes the paint others will use on their canvas of the internet for their memes" - Michael Stevens, Vsauce ________________________________ 2014 - 2020 Thanks for the good times, kings.

Bae 2,489 / 41,480 Report Post Posted February 4, 2017 I'm going for a no because I think it's kind of pointless mode, it's one of those once in a lifetime gamemode. credits to @Clavers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options... Achievements
King_of_Nerds 0 / 2,143 Report Post Posted February 4, 2017 I feel like a yes, because it could add to people pointless fun. Sure the other game modes are fun but you you can't Bhop, like me, you are judged, and this could be used to hone skills with the community you love. I don't want to practice Bhop with no friends ,but I don't want to do it & be told how stupid I am. This could be a place do whatever you want with no consequences.

Floopyhiggle 243 / 4,390 Report Post Posted February 8, 2017 majority of my hours on gmod are in sandbox. It takes a modicum of patience that most gmod players simply don't have. GFL is not a community that could support a successful sandbox server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
