New map layout

In my opinion, it might be too easy to get to the north city in the center (like it is now). 'Idea 5' with the island in the corner seems like a better choice for rough sketch/layout.

Feedback would be great.

 

If the map is going to have a good amount of water, we should have a harbor filled with rusting hulks of ships which I could make. Also, we should have at least 4-6 places that spawn tier 3 gear so its not just 1 place to get decent gear. With more tier 3 item spawn locations, the action over in the tier 4 gear area will be more.

 

i just had a random idea
what if all loot spawned in every zone except it was just like really rare in zone 1 and somewhat less rare in 2 and so forth

 

Is it going to be bigger then the map there is now ?
Besides that good ideas.

 

The high zone cities shouldn't be near eachother, as they are in the current map. People just run between the snow and nether looking for people They should be furthur apart.

 

Putty put his art skills to work I see
I like the layout as a whole, but I do agree with there being a lot of water. I guess it will give boats a purpose, though. Is there going to be a "Snow" area (I may have missed it)? I enjoyed the snowy biome part of the map. Looks good in sketch, can't wait to see the final product.

 

is the volcano nether???

 

Too much water = A lot of boat-loggers............. or runners/avoiding combat

 

My ideas:

I'd like to the constructions of this map more like the ones in The Last Of Us: cracked buildings with vegitation growing in them and destruction everywhere.

Maybe there could be a scientific lab in the tropical volcano, it could be tier a 6.

Perhaps we could have the spawn areas around the edge of a circular map, and the better locations further in, with 1 single location, maybe a military base, harboring the best loot.

NO mix of modern and medieval towns. The map needs to flow with no sudden era changes.

Secret rooms full of chests! They can be parkoured to or found

I like the idea of bottlenecked locations such as bridges for people to set up ambushes, which would encourage people to take safer routes and explore a bit.

 

Thats goooood.
