Is there any reason to go into the void

[Mark33]

So now we have massive monsters to stop us going, but is there any real reason to go there?

[ImHelping]

There is zero practical reson to go into the void.

If anything putting all the monster spawns in the void just attracts more scrutiny to the fact the map is fairly small. Rather than less.

If it was simply empty people would take one trip, get bored, come back and forget about the void. But increasing the aggro conga in the void yet again, means an increase in getting honest questions like yours asking what the point of so many monsters is.

[Lack of Stuff]

Bragging rights perhaps. How long and how many ghosts can you get the game to spawn.

[Mark33]

I thought so.. It's interesting doing it a few times just for a joke, but it's not really menacing at all in creative mode.

Also, not seen more than three of the giant ghost worms at once yet.

It would be good if there was some lore as to why these giant dudes prowl just off the relative 'shallows' of the normal map.

to get killed or get a scan and then get killed

[axelfirekirby]

building in creative mode i guess....
other then that no..

This is what i've been saying for a long time and one of my main arguments why they shouldnt put creatures in the void. It simply encourages players to go into the void to challenge the creatures or try to find what the creatures could be guarding. The old empty void was much better because it was simply your own sense of dread and paranoia that kept you from going far from the map.

is there even an eventual ground in the void? or does it just go down forever?

Kind of like I used to do in the original Far Cry, MUST be a reason attack helicopters pounce the way they do? Eventually I realised this was a clever Dev way to make the world seem real and yet keep the player in the game proper so to speak. I for one like it and am glad this idea FINALLY got implemented.

I guess you can go down to 6k just for that screenshot

[Mark33]

I think below a silly depth, the screen should start to go blurry as if the pressure is just too high.

Hitler has a secret base down there.

It's called The Underwässer Bässen.

The clifs and vertical drop on the edge of the void are and look pretty cool though.

[Mark33]

Would be cool if you could get an achievement for lasting so long in the void without death

[Mr.J]

the void would be great if it has real biodiversity. A biome of giants of all kinds, ghosts, sea dragons, reapers, giant reefbacks, even the sea emperor and maybe sea treaders at the bottom if there is a bottom at least.
