New Map

Recommended Posts

So, I personally think that the current map is great and I've learned some important stuff like where to look for landmarks to find out where I'm going or to pay attention when I'm logging in and I've taken severe advantage of compasses and maps when I've had them but too many people use maps on websites that show spawn rates of items in specific locations and it's a generally accepted thing even though it breaks immersion and is in my opinion, cheating. Whilst being a "bandit" is frowned upon even though it's a valid role to play I mean that's obviously why the system was implemented.

The only idea's I can think of is changing spawn locations to all over the map; this would reduce those going "in-land" with good loot and would diversify the population accordingly.

And secondly, swapping loot locations at random. I know the current system is great because it's broken down into types of loot and different rarity levels but it's painfully annoying to have to figure out all of these factors whilst playing alone and having those who essentially cheat, be able to just spawn hop and town hop for the specific loot they want.

This isn't an overly big problem and my fix idea isn't necessarily perfect or even well thought because of some huge factors I might be missing out but maybe others have better ideas.
