Different maps?

[11tw 106]

could we please, at some point in development, get some more maps. I understand that this would be a huge undertaking, but hear me out.

 

If there were servers which had different kinds of environments then that would make for different kinds of challanges, and make the game more interesting.

 

Ideally, the top 3 maps would be (just some ideas, don't worry if you don't like them):

 

- Eastern Europe (what we have. Lots of villages and towns, plenty of water and food, but very cold)

- Savannah (semi-desertified plains with occasional villages and towns. Water is scarce, however the climate is very warm)

- Jungle (not much civilization. Lots of water, however disease and dangerous animals are quite common)

 

This would most likely mean A LOT of work for the devs, however when the 'foundation' of the game is finished it would be great to see major changes like this. Also, I think this would lead to a boost in sales of the game (which in turn would speed up development). Imagine a trailer with images of players running from zeds in a snowy town, a barren plain and a jungle.

It would look much more exciting, and probably be awesome.

 

Any ideas on maps you would like?

Impossible for now. Creating a good and balanced map is a hard work. Wait until Dayz v 1.0 will release and modders'll do their best.

It's a mad question. "I would like giant map with different climats and landscape types." :D  But that's only fantasies. :huh:

mods will bring maps after game is out

yes, but it would be good if the devs made some to give us material to work with. Right now I doubt there are any brown grass or palm tree textures/models in the game, so modders would have to make them themselves. This way the modding community gets as much source material as possible.

More maps will come, whether they are made by BI or player made.  Rocket has mentioned wanting to do a more 'Western' map, though that was before he announced he was going to step down, but it'll probably still happen.

Maybe in the future but I feel we don't explore Chenarus (however it's spelt) enough. It's a massive, massive map and it's so easy to get lost. It's part of our plan now, not to spend so much time killing people in Berezino but to actually get out and see some more of the massive map. Personally, maps is the least of the problems and I'd like to see more development on fixing some of the bugs and introducing more features like vehicles, more weapons, etc.

It'd be fun.

MIGHT step down.

MIGHT step down.

I would think it's an eventuality, weather it's at the end of the year as he would like, or later when he feels confidant DayZ can float without him.
