Character from livonia or chernarus to Sakhal

[hipnos]

Can anyone explain why is it allowed to transfer Character from livonia or chernarus to Sakhal.
Sakhal is harder map in regards to survival "mechanic" and those mechanics dont exist on other maps,plus loot table is different. In my opinion, you should not be able transfer character between the maps, especially now with Sakhal map.

It is complete immersion breaking and unfair advantage to characters that are only playing on Sakhal vs someone who is server/map hopping and gearing character on other maps?!

its a stupid thing on official, always has been that way. now with sakhal, that "feature" is even worse.
i would also assume the server performance would go up, if they all wouldnt share a single effing hive for 100 servers....

Yep, not a major issue between Livonia/Chernarus. But for Sakhal where the Cold/Frozen food mechanic is implemented, there are no heli crashes, so military loot is harder to get, and also loot table is different is not something that should be possible to do, not sure they can resolve that, maybe increase time limit even more if you change map.

Id say surviving in Sakhal is easier then Chernarus simply because the map is more condense. The heat isn't really a problem either since heat buff can be stacked and ocean is abundant source of food and starting off with knife makes it even easier.

If you want to get geared fast in Sakhal then go South-West, but be it is more challenging area to traverse and can prove fatal for the uninitiated.


It's honestly not that big of a deal and haven't even seen 5.56mm on the map and iv been to the South-West. Only US item iv seen is 1911 magazine, which seemed like player dropped item.

So if someone wants to bring US stuff in to Sakhal then let them. It's just painful grind to do so and no way to restock in Sakhal and your location don't persist if you hop.

The same mechanics apply just not as harshly. They're not DLC specific i.e still do what you need to do, just less often. I wouldn't say its harder per se,, just longer. Food is chilled at worst as example.

But yes it would be nice to have map specific mains without fiddling about with 1P and 3P characters or chars on modded but vanilla servers.

I also made a post about this, I really dislike this, another thing people could do is abuse the new Sakhal "mission" to get geared fast and big and then just hop in Chernarus or Livonia official servers, it's crazy how many combat log people I encountered today in Sakhal "italy" island, they are crazy, unfortunately, officials have always been that way, nothing you can do about it.

But I agree they should keep Sakhal separate, I dislike bringing items from other maps to others or just the character in general, completely immersion breaking if I wanna continue exploring Chernarus and then I enter Sakhal and remember "1:15 minutes and different spawn before login" and I'm like.... ohh I forgot, b'llocks.

the shared hive is supposed to be part of the metagame I guess.

I mean you got to sakhal some how with a freshy, it's literally more believable that a geared character traveled there by boat. So it's actually more immersive if you think about it. Otherwise how are you 40 years old in an apocalypse that's been going on for over 10 years, without having any gear?
