Ghost Merge Killing Forge?

[Classic xD]

Is the ghost merge killing forge?

I remember when only a select few could interlock well now with the ghost merge every one can do it.

Good or bad?

Its a good thing, now the more inexperienced forgers can now make amazing maps with little effort now. And, the better forgers will make even better maps than they could have ever imagined. Take The Hollows for example, before ghost merging surfaced, "Cave Maps" weren't possible.

I'd say its helping forge

EDIT: First.

Cave maps were actually common when forge first came out. Look at End of the line and other maps of early forge. Many forgers desired to make caves. the trick was they couldn't make it look real nor could they get it to play. Now with ghost merging they can save objects and it look a ton better.

Ghost merging is a new brush to forge. It by itself is not killing forge. I haven't forged since Sandbox came out. I havent' been sparked with an idea. That is my issue.

So, don't blame the tools blame the canvas.

No. How is it being more difficult a good thing?

The point is it's meant to be easy to express your ideas.

It's a tool, it isn't killing forge, only people's lack of imagination.

Is the pencil killing writing?

I remember when only a select few could carve words into stone now with the pencil anyone can write.

Good or bad?

It all depends on peoples perception of where the skill actually is in Forge. If people think your a good forger because you spent hours perfecting every item you place, then yes that element has been tampered with. Nevertheless, people are still going to be hopefully spending a great deal of time tweaking and testing, so although the practical element may be easier now, the overall time taken to make a map should not change much.

But then some people will think that it has nothing to do with the practicalities of it. Maybe its just the idea. Not how clean, merged or fast you place the objects, but why they are there and what they do. Being a good forger may have nothing to do with the complexity of the map you are making or the commitment you apply, but the mental ability that you hold.

Oh my god, are you saying that functionality is actually important? This is forgehub, silly, we do things differently here. It's all about how many oddly angled geomerges you did.

Cynicism is so last week.

But yea i agree with the latter.

Ghost merging won't fix shitty map design, so to answer your question, no.
