I downloaded and played the HGL Demo and I enjoyed it very much. The only thing that is stopping me from purchasing and playing this game is that I am not sure if it is an open-aired game.
In the demo you were pretty much restricted to small areas, which sucks.
So can someone please confirm or deny this for me? Is HGL an open aired world say like WoW, where you can walk wherever you want killing baddies? Thank you for your time.
|||no. It isnt. There will be more open areas in future patches, but its not an open-aired game like wow.edit: i've played some free open-aired mmorpgs and hgl > them all ;)|||There are areas where you have a lot more room to move than the demo areas, nevermind future patches. The Thames riverbed level, for example, is quite large, and an area right at the end of the game - I won't say where - is simply massive.
I wouldn't consider the lack of an "open" world a negative. Any portal you step through, if you've not been there within the last 10-15 minutes, is going to have plenty of creatures to kill. And if you log out, everything respawns for you.
If you just want to be able to walk wherever and kill stuff, I'd say Hellgate is actually better for that, since the travel time is alway negligible!|||There are plenty of Open-aired areas, notably the new Stonehenge areas, but these areas are probably the most difficult for some classes because of how prone you are to being surrounded.|||The new subscriber only Stonehenge levels are rather large. Agree with everything said above. With it been based in London tells you that the majority of the areas are not going to be large.
If it was Hellgate: Peak District
then I would be a bit more disgruntled with the lack of wide spaces! I think that there is enough variation for the moment and I'm sure new content will appear as time goes on.What Mythor describes is spot on. You don't really need large open areas as the baddies come thick and fast so you're not spending your time wondering around trying to find things.
