Towns are boring

[Gdaddy 3]

Really, every town looks EXACTLY the same. Same buildings etc, which is really boring and kinda frustrating. We should make every town unique, so the game wouldn't be only about Cherno and Elektro. For example in a town X there would be some kind of buildings that you can see them only in this town.

That's... like... a super well confirmed... like... literally the WHOLE map is being redone for the SA. But if ouw atn the mod changed good luck with that <--- sarcasm

I say true 100% I never feel boring in towns :)  I don't walk around say to myself 'hey, this house looking same like that house, is too much boring' :(

 

I don't give fuck if house is same, I see only cover for make some attack on guys like you who are looking too much the house :huh: and not focus for pvP :P

It's because the map was designed for military combined arms battles, in Arma individual buildings aren't too important, they're just used for cover etc.  I wouldn't expect too much to change with the mod but the SA should improve a lot of things.

I watched the latest video and saw alot of the same buildings.

I bet one can of beans that an instant you start playing the standalone you will take the same route you have always done in chernarus to get you up and running.

You could, but you'd be running past lots of doorways that you can now enter, most of which lead into buildings that now have multiple rooms and floors, each of which now have multiple spawn points such as in cupboards and under beds.  Plus you're gonna have to be watching for peeps looking at you from the windows so if you go running down a street like you do now you're gonna have a bad time.

 

Oh and there's thousands more places for loot to actually spawn with hundreds of items to collect (eventually maybe thousands) but the spawn rates will probably be lower so now I think about it you couldn't actually.

 

You might do your usual Electro run and come out with a bottle of disinfectant, some electrical wire and a gas hob.  Peeps that don;t change their habbits from the mod are gonna suck.

maybe in SA is possible make houses the same paint different colours :thumbsup:

 

like this green house I am see everywhere, is no problem make some yellow or some different colours, is enough to make big change for player experience and for make town more unique :)

I might rob "those guys" just to teach 'em a lesson.

 

 

They will be defenseless because they won't be able to find any proper loot.  I, on the other hand, will have a nice pistol and some bullets to go along with it!!  If I see some chump running around, I approach him/her from behind and tell them to drop ALL of their gear.  Clothes and all.  Then I will send them running, look at what they left behind and leave. 

 

In the game you will know that someone dropped all of their loot because with only underwear, they can't hold anything.  Unlike the mod where you can easily hide something in your main inventory and no one will know unless they kill you.  This will reduce the need to kill someone to rob them, which is a great bi-product of the clothing system.

I like too much your system for robbing player in SA :beans:

is true also this reduce need for make some kills, is good thing for me I don't need 'need' :P

As long as all buildings become enterable, that's okay with me. Don't care much if the houses are all the same. 

[liquidcactus 719]

Same buildings never really bothered me. I can understand how they would bother some...I just want to see GIANT buildings like factories etc.. buildings can stay the same for all I care if this is acheived

[Roark92 90]

i dont think there are goina be giant buildings.  at least not for awhile.

 

factories will be pretty much the only unenterable buildings lol, sorry to shatter your dreams, friend.

Do the ship and the prison count?  I've seen the ship and it's massive, with multiple floors and corridors etc, not heard much about the prison or other planned structures recently though.

If that bores you i bet you don't play CoD and BF anymore since it's basically the same... :P

 

Ok look...a M4...another one ...another one!!! Yay i got tons of M4...that's boring to me... I don't know where you live but in eastern bloc states a lot of things can be the same. Imagine Pripyat...all buildings are the same...did the players say it is boring?

btw here's a pic...now that would be boring with your definition.

In one of the SA video's they showed the extra area's of cherno/elektro with high rise buildings all enterable.

 

For me it doesn't matter what they are like i rarely visit the cities/towns i stay purely in the wilderness.

[joe_mcentire 2074]

must of you may not know, but after WWII many villages have been deserted for good. Today you can walk between the buildings of these eerie places, which nature has successfully claimed back. They are now actually in the middle of forests with trees in every odd place and high meadows everywhere. THe funny thing is, there are for example many at the czech-austrian border. what if ivan would travel there and give us such a lost town in the middle of a forest...

Towns feel boring?

Well I was playing call of duty modern warfare 3 and noticed something.

The street I was on was a copy from the level I was in before,so Paris looked just like Germany.

And that was a "AAA" game if you think arma2 has the time to make 100's of buildings then you are goofy!
