map in 4 pieces is nonsense thing

and teamspeak, and gamma at night, and all other exploits that ruin the game. people complain at a lack of realism and then use game-breaking exploits like looking at the map online lol

 

Oh please, and your going to make this community believe that you never used any voip program while you played DayZ. 

* This counts , Teamspeak, Skype, Ventrilo, Mumble, hell even Steam has a voip program.

 

As for maps, I'll just use DayZDB.

 

As for the realism .... yeah.... We have a 3rd person camera.

Exactly what i was thinking. Plus it makes people traverse through the map instead of staying on the beach. I know you could easily get acces to the whole map through dayzdb, but from my personal experience i want to have the complete map in my inventory. Think of it as having the best gear in the game.

 

Would also be cool to find someones semi explored map and see where they've been

I've never seen these map threads before KoS' thread.

 

Sometimes I swear people just read old topics and re-word thus re-posting them for fun.

 

 

I looked on the forums for anything involving maps in the standalone but this thread didn't come up.

Oh so you don't have outside knowledge of the geography of Chernarus? You never looked at the map outside the game? Interesting.

Balls, now my mates found the interactive map online with loot information and they actually know more than me...i told them this aint good but i cant really blame them when we spend like 1 hour to regroup, either way exploration is now is ruined. Well fuck it, ill just force feed the map to someone random. Personally the current state of the map just pushes new players to look online and im sure that wasnt the intention from the devs.

The map is there to distract tourist while we sneak up on them. Its much easier when they try to juggle 4 maps and figure out where they are. Just wait till they add wind effects!

Until you can set waypoints like dayzmod the ingame map is useless anyway. Just use the map provided on the web.

you talking about in game map or 3rd party dayzdb style map?

 

if you mean in game map is good for explore

 

you can use map to find where you are in relation to where you wanting to go

map is tool but is need knowledge for making sense ;)

example you find town read the sign but you don't recognise where is

open map find town

ok, is lake to south for drink and airfield to north for good loot and player :thumbsup:  :)

map give info for assist you in explore

 

me I don't really use now the map because I play a lot learn where is most places

 

but for new guys map help a lot but don't ruin explore is enhance explore experience for them ;)

 

waypoint was ruin explore more than map

 

if you talking 3rd party map I agree is bullshit ruin fun thing >:(

yeah i meant in-game map. i prefer to explore the place myself rather than ruin the game for myself by just looking up where everything is

If they did not implement a useless feature and take out useful features such as waypoints, then people would not use DayZ DB to do so. If they are going to implement a map, then implement a whole map, you think finding 4 pieces scattered is realism? You think someone who is new to the game is going to search for endless hours with a high chance of being shot to find the map pieces just to find out which town is where due to them not having a clue rather then going online for a split second to gather where they are? Please.

 

Define your definition of game-breaking because looking online just to look where towns are is not it. Is not like it shows players locations, only feature of it being game-breaking to me is showing where weapons, supplys etc are. 

 

Team speak is used in a variety of different online games for an ease of communication whilst playing with friends or in a group. Really is not even close to an exploit in my opinion, gamma is though.
