More randomish map

[Kaiostheory 0]

Another thing I would like to see in this game is to have more random map features. Like maybe there are certian place towns can spawn similar to how choppers spawn. Then maybe there can be some random hill/ mountians as well maybe even completely random maps. I realize this will take up more resources but with a standalone this can be possible. Then having the in game map is even more impotrant since an external map can only be use as an idea of referance but not for true location help.

Don't really see how this will help at all. Random appearing mountains and towns? :|

I posted about a randomized map here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/66004-what-if-the-map-was-randomized/

And yes, the more randomization, the longer the game stays fresh, no out of game assistance or relying on experience. Now you'll have to navigate using the in-game map, check landmarks etc.

No magically knowing where vehicles and loot will appear, or the best sniper spots and pvp hotspots.

Please god no!!!!!!!!!!

One of the reasons DayZ has that "real" feel to it is because because the map is based on a real location using topographical data. If you start randomising areas or towns you'll lose that instantly. I would like the loot areas to be more random though.

The idea behind this is to not make it so random that it doesnt feel real but to give enough randomness that it requires the ingame map due to the possible changes there is no "Standard" map layout. This will alow not only each server to more or less have a unique map but also to allow or rather force the exploration of your enviroment when entering a new server.
