Master Map

[Hosty 647]

Hey guys, I am think this has been suggested but nonetheless I will say it again.

This is basically a good map for 100-150 players.

It includes Chernarus in the top left corner, Lingor in the right down corner, namalsk in right-center, and probably a different good map like Panthera or something somewhere else.

This would be really much better, and you could spawn in only 3 out of 4 islands.

Each island would have exclusive loot, findable only in that certain island. Like warm clothing in Namalsk, Russian weapons and East European vehicles or Russian vehicles, etc etc.

Also, you would randomly find maps that are "broken" and only show one island. You could combine those maps and make a master map to show the other islands.

I hope this will happen, and if it won't, someone try to do this as a mod map :D

Chernarus isn't an island. 'nuff said.

Likely not practical or too fun either.

That's why I said it will be in the CORNER of the map.

Well figuring that 100 players will be on Chernarus alone in standalone I think this is cool in idea form but excessive. The server you'd need to run it would be expensive, and most of these custom maps are just ports.

Chernarus will NOT be 100 players on Chernarus alone unless they extend it.

60 players is already seriously excessive for that map.

And Dean said he wants DayZ to approach an MMO feel.

50-60 players isn't that MASSIVE isn't it :l

My biggest fear for DayZ is not hackers, not dogs, and no not even PVP.

It's boredom of the playing area, we know once released the SA will take ages to get things right, issue finding and testing etc. what I would like is more maps to play on or a considerably larger playing field. It may be impossible as far as size is concerned by I'll bet everyone who plays the game will be bored of it on e they know the knowledge just like they did with the mod.

In order to keep it fresh, let's have more maps to play on from day 1.

[sonicrainbrony 136]

They will extend it though (Chernarus+)

Chernarus plus is an upgrade of Chernarus, they will add more entrable buildings and fairly new villages.

And I don't think they will extend it so much that 100 players will fit in it and still not find a player each 5 minutes.

I never said to have this immediately in Standalone in december.

I just shared my opinion on this game and what would make it more interesting and maybe a way to actually make it an MMO.

Afterall It's just a suggestion.

Standalone won't have a billion things in it as of the Alpha Foundation release.

100 players on Chernarus is NOT beyond capacity. Even vanilla Chernarus.

50-60 per server is too much when it's full of KoS PvPers. Elektro can only hold so many players.

Even then, if people want to PvP, they shouldn't bitch out because of numbers.

I've been on full capacity 60 player games, and only met a couple of players while wandering. Friendly and otherwise.

I've been on 10 player hives where everyone is in Elektro, swinging their dicks.

Don't make assumptions based on guesswork. Wait and see.

No, no, I never meant that! Fact is its too late to have any suggestions for the SA.

I just had a few map related points. I think there are limitations to size with the mod due to requirement needs. You can't add much more to chernaurus without performance issues.

Well Rocket once said, that he is looking forward to make one master game server like in EVE online. So maybe in far future.... Hope so, would be great! : )

I would love to see a Chernarus map at least twice the size. Of course it needs the ability to be able to have a fuckton more players on it. Where the map ends in the North is where a Namalsk type enviroment creeps in , lay a big island off the coast near Skalisty , the Skalisty island chain. More mountainous though like Panthera. The North once you get over the Namalsk type snowy barren mountain ranges would need a major city plus airfield so as to draw players up. Something a lot bigger than Cherno.

I live in hope :)

It has been disclosed several times they wanted to aim between 100-200 in the Standalone, but 100 is probably the better option. If you play on high populated servers and aren't sitting on the coast you don't run into a lot of people.

A group of islands would be great like one tried or did on OFP with all the major islands on one map, but i have never really found a working version of it.
