No I don't miss it they should take this approach of restricting military spawn points to most of the map and keep the North west airfield the only area in the map to consistently find military gear.

I agree with this... I think informally making the coast newbie zone ( devoid of military spawns) and make the center/west were they are located is a great thing. Forces people to move around more. While i don't think this will stop fresh spawn killing it will make the old mod hotspots (Novy, NW, etc.) back to the fun places they were.

Great so we will never find anything as everyone will be server hopping on NW. No,Keep it as it is. Maybe get rid of the Secret military base or Vybor but its fine now as it is, people who want military gear have to run really far away.

Completely different problem altogether.

 

I would remove balota turn it into a civilian airport no mil gear, remove green mountain military gear, remove the vybor base and then put in a small military and I mean small like 2 tents in Stary sobor or novy sobor the halfway point between nwaf and the coast.

Haha! Remember the old days when everyone hung around Balota, Cherno and Elektro. Going to the NEAF was a smart thing back in the day, as well as going to Berezino.

 

"There's not going to be any people there since everyone's at Elektro, come on guys it's the best idea ever!"

 

*couple of months later*

 

"Yeah, fuck that."

 

But yes, I like the new approach they took on NEAF, I'd definitely like for them to expand on it and create a small civi airport.

So you want the NWAF to become the old NEAF? Except worse because there won't be any other military spots to get loot, so it will just turn into a massive sniper den full of server hoppers?

Yea who cares .

 

The reason NWAF should be the magnet for these people is because it is the furthest point on the map helping migrate people away from the coast.

 

It forces people to explore the entire map to get to its sweet military gear and even then its at great danger.

I miss it for the PVP. I can't find anyone in the new NEAF. I even go around running in the middle of the airfield. It was great for getting kills and getting killed.

The balance of the map is much better now than it would be if they done what you're suggesting...IMO I find the balance of the map to be spot on for what you would expect in a real apocalypse, it fits the story of the military basing themselves in airfields.

 

People wouldn't explore the map if they made the changes you suggest, the game would just turn into a race whenever you spawned to run to NWAF as quick and direct as possible to get involved in the looting and PVP. The game would be terrible. At least now there are things like the odd military buildings and military bases in the middle, and Balota airfield to convince players to migrate around the map.

Nope. Couldn t care less. In fact, I would not mind seeing the airfields removed entirely and the military loot spots better divided across the map.

all the military buildings do now is let them gear up on the coast then continue to pvp on the coast.

 

Making the NWAF the only reliable place to score military gear means if you spawn in Cherno you have to traverse the entire map to get there. If you spawn in Berenzino same thing, it does not matter where you spawn you would need to travel and explore to get to the military loot. It would also be far more dangerous too since a number of players will be waiting there.

 

The less military locations and less military loot in the game the better.

As it should be.

 

To add on to his comment, the NWAF should also lur people into map as the center military base is it gives you more of a sense of "oh I don't want to lose my gear", as opposed to the NEAF where you can think to yourself "well if I die I can spawn right back here and regain everything I lost, nothing to lose!".

No? Where is there military loot where you spawn? Most of the spawns are around Novo and Berezino now. 

I think the distribution of the military loot is fine, the amount of it is the problem. But I shouldn't have to remind you that this is an Alpha and the high amount of loot is to test things, not to achieve end-game balance.

No. I hate the layouts of the air fields, they're terrible and boring. Wide open, flat places. I resented going there, and I'm glad there's no longer any reason to.

Meh I preferred the old NEAF because it kept all those people on that side of the map while I used my brain and looted all of the western towns and other milspawns on the opposite side of Chernaurus.

You aren't honestly complaining about airfields being too open and flat, are you?

Well, they could have spiced it up with a few wrecks ...

Do you often see plane wrecks when you visit the airport?
