Is the map and compass to clunky?

Fine idc, maybe you stop replying to my threads then. Wish come true.

replying to someone who's placed you on their ignore list is like speaking to a person who has left the room, closed the door behind them and driven away 3 hours ago.

just sayin

I've done a good bit of real world backpacking and navigation with map compass and topographic maps and let me assure it is far easier in dayz than in areal life.

While real life renders farther you rarely get the fields of view or number of clear land marks on chernarus. Trust me as far as real life comparisons and immersion go dayz is taking it easy on you.

As fair as individual maps go... In truth to get the kind of detail you can from only the maps in dayz you would need about 10 maps. You can zoom in and out for different levels of detail and gives you a huge field of view. Again dayz is taking it easier on us here.

That said I wouldn't mind being able to cut and tape them together for easy storage. As fair as maps go they don't take up a ton of room in your pack.

Also no I don't use the map in game but I don't use one to get around Baltimore either since I've learned my way around

 

Finally a real input!

 

I have done quite abit of land navigation myself, although not backpacking kind. more tactical advancement over great distances in large winter plateau's in a military situation.

And trust me that is not a situation where you toss away the map to make room for a motorcycle helmet.

 

Maybe its intended that when you dont need the map anymore because you learn it, its then the map become much like many of those books you find. just a immersive object that is utterly useless.

Most likely he said it because he was out of other input to share.

If he cant handle a discussion or level it like the opponent he has nothing here to do. I dont think he has ignored me.

I've stopped using both map and compass but once vehicles and GPS thingy makes it in I'll want map again. And to be honest if the map was even harder to find and or split into even more pieces I wouldn't mind.

 

Not very realistic but it's alright as gaming element

I like my crafted full map of chernarus (that takes 1 slot btw), it´s the best damn thing for rangefinding currently in the game.

 

Anyone saying real maps aren´t quarters of a full map...well that´s true, maps that contain same amount of detail as the one in game often depict significantly smallers area, and having map as big as the one in game in such detail would be pretty damn huge.

 

 

I do wish they´d implement simple tourist maps, showing mainroads, cities etc, that are full maps by default, and are easy to find.

Both work fine for me.  Love the compass.  I just want the responsiveness of the hotbar fixed/adjusted.  Sometimes I have to press the key 3-4 times to bring up the item.  I'd love to see this smoothed out so a keypress is guaranteed to equip your compass (or pistol).

+1 for this

edit why is the OP topic title different from the poll question, it's misleading
