Anyone else thinks the map is way too big?

[streom]

im playing on a high populated server everyday, and i meet armed players really really rare.
I hope the devs are concidering increasing the player Cap per server, by the time the game is released. Now that the game is really well optimised, the servers can probably hold alot more servers without having problems. Just a thought.

I mean, like maybe some centralized location for everybody would be nice, like in DayZ Mod everybody eventually went to the Airfield when they were geared good enough to fight other players. In DayZ SA for instance, you have multiple huge end-game locations/bases, so you just dont know where to go to to find other players. Airfields are not the top priority anymore.

Would be nice to have bigger servers, or some centralized location.

I leik it

I like it too...

They -are- talking about increasing the player count in the game to 100 man servers... but they also might increase the map size too...

Everything is fine as is.... in fact... the map needs to be bigger IMO...

No

Since the intent of DayZ is survival and that may include several types of pvp and pve. A smaller map would pretty much just make it a shooter. I'd go for a bigger map and maybe a few more islands, caves, etc.

^This.... oh yes this.. more islands and caves!

I agree, the map is way too big. There is no player contact at all on high population servers. Just making the map a little smaller might help enrich the game experience.

No, think the map should be even bigger.

[SAINt]

No, I think it should be bigger and with more wild life.

There was talk in the beginning about making the map bigger by adding other maps to it from A2, but I can't remember if that was just rumor or actual dev talk. I do know they might make it bigger though, which would be great for air vehicles. Even land vehicles make the map feel incredibly small, but with a plane or helicopter, well that would just feel a bit silly. It's a pretty big map already, especially when you're on foot but aerial vehicles make everything so much smaller.

Islands would be pretty amazing too.

Point is, it is definitely not too small. If they made it smaller than it is now, vehicles would be ridiculous, end of story.

Right, Takistan is right near it, so maybe the bit I mentioned about maps being combined to make one map was actually a thing.

it is good having a map this big. its another thing that makes you worry about losing your ♥♥♥♥ and its one of the things that gets your heart pumping. reduce the map size and you will end up beeing able to get to military easier making loot easier to come buy making you feel like the game is easy removing the fear in dayz. Map. time it takes to get your gear. the fact you will lose it all and need to start again if you die. thats what makes dayz DayZ.

if anything it should be bigger imo.

The map would become at least 5 times bigger than it is now. However, it would require at least a thousand people playing at the same time so that there would be interactions. I don't think that the engine can even support it. However, wonders were already done with it, who knows? Maybe a map as big as the one you show will be available to us in the future.

One centerlized location as a main focus means the entire server population will be camping said location, nah. Increasing server capacity to 80-100 should be an alright balance, remember we shouldn't be bumping into indivduals around every corner? A trait of survival in games like DayZ is not to be seen.

Personally i think they need some end-game oilrigs, islands off the east coastline with even some medical, military vessels run aground. (Have a purpose for the helicopters and even boats, if implemented?).

Just choose an area to pvp in and stay there. If youve chosen a decent place it will be come "the place to go" on that server.

PvP isnt the main thrust of DAYZ rather just a part of it.

Think more "The Road" rather than "Mad Max"
