R0B3RTF1SH3R 66 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) u think in an apocalypse only what 40 people in 1 country live? lets say this country had 1 million people. 99.9% of them die instantly. the rest of them are your 1000 Edited September 10, 2014 by R0B3RTF1SH3R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chompster 171 Posted September 10, 2014 Agree with everything except player count. 40 would be fine once vehicles and basebuilding is in. The map shrinks loads when you get a car and encounters are much more likely to happen. Not just due to mobility, but down to the sound and concealment disadvantages vehicles bring. Say you have a server with 3-4, 4-8 man groups, then a few lone wolfs in there. Those 3 or 4 groups going about there business in cars, motorbikes, and even maybe a heli really lights up the map for clan wars and camp hunting ect. Also for me its an immersion thing, I want the desolate feel, like only a few of us survived. 100 players in a chunk of land that size means that globally there would be millions of people left....hardly an apocalypse :)I really don't think vehicles will be as wide spread as you make it sound. You could probably go for a whole week before seeing or even hearing someone with a working car (if they're implemented right) No doubt the map will shrink due to vehicles but hopefully they'll continue to expand it by quite a bit in all directions.

As in that's what they're hoping to accomplish? No where did I see him say it was coming at the end of 2014 for sure. No where has any dev (that I'm aware of) confirmed that there would absolutely be a beta by the end of 2014. P.S. Nice job using a comment made after my post to try to prove me wrong. P.P.S. You do know what ETA stands for right? As in Estimated Time of Arrival, and not exact? Edited September 10, 2014 by sloasdaylight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khanarac 252 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Estimated, but everyone knows thats bullshit. And that's my whole point. Stop giving us bogus ETAs is what I said in the first place, Do you know what ETA means? There is no way their "aiming at end of 2014" can ever be accomplished, you know it. I hereby dub thee fanboy. I don't care now anyway, gone back to the mod. Edited September 11, 2014 by Khanarac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
