Get rid of chernarus.

[radivmoe 47]

Not many zombie games set in Britain these days, apart from Zombi-U being the only one I can think of.

I suppose its too miserable already, at least where I live. Nobody would notice if zombies suddenly popped up.

have you ever been to Norway mate? north of Dovre there is rain, wind, snow, and occasionally only clouds. sun is close to one day per millenia. so zombies would just be a fresh change in the everlong circle of misery.

Edit: the coast north of Dovre

Having to buy a new game after death is more fun...automatically keeps deathmatchers away. :D

good point.

[LancerG2 369]

If we made a new map would definitely have to be in New Zealand. ZOMBIE SHEEP FTW!

[m.w. vindicator 880]

I said the final game. Not the alpha.

Test the alpha , beta in cherno as a placeholder.

Release the final product in a whole new map so people have a new experience.

One does not simply improve Chernarus just to make it a placeholder. That is insanely stupid. If anything Chernarus would be the first map, with others added in 2014/15 (but not anytime soon buddy) . But getting rid of Chernarus and then taking a year or two make another would be dumb as hell. Why not have two maps? Sure they will release the alpha and beta on Chernarus, but while we are playing the alpha and the beta, they would be working on things that are important like bug fixing.

The devs couldn't really work on making a new map and fixing all the bugs/adding new items, and art assests at the same time. You are being extremely unrealistic. This isn't a CoD map that is 500mx500m. Chernarus is fucking 225 square kilometers!!! It takes a lot of effort to make. Be patient man!

Just to troll the community, Rocket should say that the next map is going to be in Yukon, Siberia or Antarctica :D

Everyone would go crazy and start frothing at the mouth. :lol:

EDIT:

And he should say that the are throwing away Chernarus, "just cause like you bro why not?"

I'd actually like the Yukon :lol: grizzly bears, Indians and prospectors. Very few zombies though.

[Mullraugh 1151]

I like your opinion, your arguments are valid, and I'm sure some other people out there would like the game to be set in their own country too. But I'd have to disagree with you.

One of the reasons DayZ is popular is because it's so foreign. It's the first Game (or mod if you will) of it's kind really. It's a Zombie Apocalypse simulator that strays so far away from the cliche zombie genre that you can't even read the bloody street signs. Chernarus, in my opinion, is the most perfect map for DayZ.

[doodleisbrutal 33]

NOPE.

Edit: Why would they get rid of a map they have been working on like making new villages, enterable buildings.

American cities are boring and too cliche for a zombie apocaylpse.

American cities are boring? Have you even been to an american city?

[BwobBwub 660]

Yes actually, been to Orlando and Miami.

[gibonez 3633]

The fact that this thread is still going brings up a valid point.

There seems to be some Chernarus Fatigue even if some are not willing to admit it.

[Farkinob 19]

Chernarus is an OK map, they better make an alternative maps. Chernarus is not made for zombie survival, something like the DayZ taviana or Namalsk is and they should go off of that.

[wooly-back-jack 294]

we'd have no problem gearing up in an american store would we lol

[EndEffeKt 87]

I get why one would want another map, but weapons is definetely not a reason for me. I couldnt care less about the weapons in the Standalone. There is so much room for cool features, who cares about the weapons?

[itsDIETZ 20]

I want a randomly generated map per server, like in Minecraft and The Dead Linger. I know that the TOH probably has its limitations for this. It would take out the problem of out of game maps that are all over the net.

[dulix11 731]

This is a terrible idea.

"Have it set in middle America...more variety of weapons and vehicles."

First of all, there is already too many games set in America. Over used country.

Second of all, do I smell I hint of 'I want the AS50 and M107 back!'?

Leave DayZ where it is.

This would be amazing.

A procedurally generated map on each server. Every time you play the game it would be different.

Each server would feel unique especially alongside its server specific scripts.

Sadly I do not see this happening.

All those maps are pre DayZ...i don't think they will go for community maps. They'd rather make their own...might have to do with pride.

[m.w. vindicator 880]

I forseen the first community maps being almost ready 6six months after release or so. They would probably be ports of ArmA 2 maps updated with enterable buildings and such.

If Rocket gives people tools to work with, the user created content would grow explosively.

Patience is key guys. Wait till the game is a couple months old and then start talking about this.

Another way to keep the map fresh would be to add seasons that changed on regualr basis. This would probably be easier than building a new map from scratch, but wouldn't be a cake walk either.

Of course there will be, however, regardless of this topic, they will not remove Chernarus from the Standalone.

[pwntrooper 7]

Why midwest/south? We already kind of have that with L4D and L4D2, and now The Last of Us. Someone earlier was talking about South America, I don't think there has been a zombie game set in South or Central America. That could be cool. I actually would rather there were less guns in the game, and I like that they're trying to make the more readily available ones guns that farmers/hunters would have.

Why not Alaska? There's some crazy geography there, and once you get past the coast it's pretty eerie. And it would make sense to have servers that are nighttime only for a month at a time...

[Fuzzy Wolfy 41]

Or, y'know, find a server with a different map. They exist.

[Tumoa 359]

have you even tried to make a map from scratch? do you even know how long does it take to make a map that big?

[Private Evans 1303]

Best bet, Altis and Stratis.

Yap I suggested this some time ago...woul be clever to use Arma 3 Stratis for a new DayZ map in the future and the updated chernarus map for an arma 3 addon ( maybe changed into a winter map which could also be an extension for DayZ).... :P

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

A snowy redesign of Chernarus would be nice. It's definitely something I hope they look at down the road after any other maps they're eyeballing. :D
