Bororm 1156 Posted May 7, 2014 Rocket stated some where they've decided against adding Utes because plopping in a premade island just didn't really fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iongaming33@aim.com 137 Posted May 7, 2014 I believe there already is an easter egg in the SA that is hinting at a map addition down the road.. (possibly) it would make sense for the map designers to have something to work on once Chernarus is finished and at that point it would also be much easier to design a new map I would think.. not easy, but easier. Sahrani. But this would be a separate map and not connected to Chernarus. More than likely it would be DLC also. Yeah that billboard has been in since Chernarus came out in 2009. Sahrani was the main map in the Original Arma game or Operation Flashpoint if you're an old-timer. Sahrani was an amazing map probably better than Cherno IMO, too bad it never caught on for the mod, the map was so fun for the week that it was popular. I'd love to see Sahrani adapted to standalone, but let's get tents and vehicles first hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whyherro123 2283 Posted May 7, 2014 I'd rather see the server sizes expanded before there is any sort of map expansion. Right now, pretty much anything (except for the NWAF) off of the coast is as dead as last weeks dinner.I read somewhere that the land area of chernarus is 180 square kilometers. With 40 people per server, that gives each player 4.5 square kilometers TO THEMSELVES. Even with 100 people per server, they still will have 1.8 square kilometers to themselves, which, if/when (hopefully) agriculture is put in, would be a respectable farm plot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostflux 100 Posted May 7, 2014 Currently 50 of those 100 players are probably just PvPing in Berezino. If they want proper 100 player servers, then they first have to encourage people to visit the smaller towns land inwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dispersion of players will come with the same things that caused it in the mod. Tents & vehicles spread people out a ton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jex 1104 Posted May 8, 2014 The possibility is there, there are arma 2 maps way bigger than chernarus, the real problem is to fill the map with enough people so it wont be to empty right now the map is allready extremely empty once you go away from berezino/NEAF, yesterday i was in chernarus without anyone else but zombies, and all loot still there... i just hope this will get better when tents, storage and cars are brought into the game Do you mean empty like it would be in a zombie apocalypse? Well who would have thought that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeroy 240 Posted May 8, 2014 and was hoping this east coast spawning was a temporary thing. Of course its temporary, what makes you think it isnt? The devs have said that they really wanted players to be able to navigate in the world easier and that explains why so many maps now around. My guess is that they will keep changing spawns to various specific pockets in the map so that players can get familiar with the entire map eventually. The downside is that a lot of casual Joe thinks this is COD and have no regards to looting, surviving at all. I was watching 2 french streamers last night playing deathmatch essentially - it was pitiful to see, really not what Dean had in mind im sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZomboWTF 527 Posted May 8, 2014 Do you mean empty like it would be in a zombie apocalypse? Well who would have thought that!no, i mean "empty" like everyone just being in berezino... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gobbokirk 546 Posted May 8, 2014 no, i mean "empty" like everyone just being in berezino... They're other places, just a lot easier to find em there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah that billboard has been in since Chernarus came out in 2009. Sahrani was the main map in the Original Arma game or Operation Flashpoint if you're an old-timer.

I'd love to see Sahrani adapted to standalone, but let's get tents and vehicles first hehe.I am an old timer.. and I know about all of that. ;) ..and I agree it was one of the few maps that was worth playing, with the change of scenery and great map design. Now as far as this being a possible easter egg; Consider that they remade the map, and left this in. With the other things in the map.. Ive got an inkling that they have some ideas for DLC, and this just may be a hint of that. BIS is known for its paid DLC maps, and how well they tend to sell. Once final release hits, they would be foolish to not release a new map 6 months-1 year down the road. Outside of mods, and one of the few things that will keep this community alive.

Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted May 8, 2014 Tents and storage will not make people spread out. If anything people are just going to place all their storage near a hotspot and continue the pvp. Actual surviving methods is what will cause people to move inland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I will be putting my shit in a far away location. People that make those little stashes will often come back to empty tents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarchHare 184 Posted May 9, 2014 Having hiked the full interior the borders, the amount of unused space is vast. Not just the forests and glades but also the seamingly endless expanses of grassland veldt. There are miles of "gonowhere" 1 and 2 lane roads in the interior as well.

Actual surviving methods is what will cause people to move inland.In the mod there were literally dozens of tent cities up in the northern part of the map at the dam, west of zelenogorsk, in black forest, and in forests all over the map, but mainly at the borders what would a tent storage which you can not lock accomplish in a hotspot area? pretty much everyone will find and loot it Edited May 9, 2014 by Zombo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theres just a ton of gravel areas/parking lot type things even if you look at DayZDB. At the northwest you can see a giant area where it's rumored some sort of prison will be.
