Bad News: Map shrinked considerably; can make it from town to town in less than a couple minutes.

[AG-D.Wright 56]

Why did they think this was a good idea? You can literally make it from Krutoy Cap to Elektro in just a couple of minutes. A small downscale is fine, but at this level? Absolutely atrocious. Is there any word on this? Is this just a smaller map for testing?

I have not experienced anything similar to what you're talking about.

 

Can you elaborate?

Hello there

 

The OP has probably run into a new or relocated settlement.

I've run into nothing of the sort. I've put hundreds of hours into this game and know (at least the coast,) by heart. It has been downsized.

You have nothing to base that on other than experience, though. It's also possible, that the sprinting speed has changed instead of the actual size, thus making it appear so for you. :)

 

I wouldn't worry about it, as the sprinting wears you out quite quickly and that's why it might be possible it appears smaller for you.

Go ahead and just dismiss it as some sort of sensory issue, but I can guarantee you the map has been downscaled.

I think we have a Duck in our midst and you all know what not to do with the Ducks gentlemen.

I'm not ducking around. Go on Vanilla Day Z and time yourself. Run the same distance, from town to town and you'll have drastically different times. Times that not even a "sprint upgrade" can cause.

Go ahead and make a video about it. I would be interested in seeing.

Me too.

Ah you're on about the Mod, i don't think running speeds have been adjusted, I'll ask R4ZOR.

My excuses.

Char speed haven't changed ever in the mod. Nor has size, penis size or anything else well maybe hair got longer but no other character speed changed.

Edit: Sorry, misunderstood. I thought you were talking about the Standalone.

Wait, what? No it isn't.

[AG-D.Wright 56]

I AM talking about the standalone. The standalone's map has shrunk. When I mentioned the mod, I was talking about comparing travel times to the standalone. They would most likely be much shorter. Running speeds have been confirmed for not being tampered with. I know that the map is smaller.

[kichilron 8550]

 I know that the map is smaller.

 

 

It's good that you have that knowledge. Will get you where you want to go much quicker. I don't believe, as I have played enough myself and can confirm: still takes ages to get to places.

[Serova (DayZ) 174]

Someone should make a video, I'm too lazy to do it myself.

Need a side by side vid or this is just speculation. I didn't notice any difference in time to run from Zeleno to Cherno or Cherno to Elektro or Vybor to nwaf.

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Fov change? Player seems to run faster to me, map still same!

Currently doing some research crossing screencaps in the Mod and Standalone. Will report my findings here.

 

Would be nice if they just confirmed it. I mean, on the Day Z mod website front page it says the huge map is a feature. You don't think they'd scale it down.

It would be nice, I just dont believe it.

 

I truly think you are mistaken, I do look forward to your examples and tests though.

 

To play devils advocate though the map is huge regardless, but I just find it hard to accept, to my knowledge the sq mileage is greater.

 

Lets see what you come up with!
