Am I the only one who misses this?

Even though the graphics on evrima are visually superior to legacy, I actually wish they had kept with the map design or at least let the previous style influence the newer maps...

I feel like having things be more tropical and have a lot more jungle is an obvious thing that people would assume you would have in a game about dinosaurs, but the northern/pine look actually was really interesting, and having the mountains and jagged coastlines gave the map more distinguishable landmarks, making it easier to navigate and to learn the map.

It could just be me but the jungle design just all kinda blurs together and is boring to me. I still struggle with knowing my general location on the new map due to this..

(also having the northern lights at night on the old map was really cool)

The Isle V3 felt more spooky to me, the map had a kind of cold feel to it which helped in the horror aspect to me personally, maybe it was for the better that they changed it though, having deinosuchus try to launch and ambush from fresh clear water would have been less then ideal for deino players..

(There were more swampy parts of The Isle V3, but they were in the less populated sides of the map).

And I gotta be real, the human buildings while less polished and detailed, just went so hard, like port, the big DAMnn with the waterfall ect.. So cool, and they were built into the enviroment, it felt like they were there for a purpose.

(though the buildings at twins were dogwater I will admit.)

Other than graphics, I feel like V3 is still the superior map, and it would be super cool if they did a remaster of it for evrima.

(sunsets and sunrises are still superior on V3 too)


Anywho its just my opinion and was wondering what the rest of you guys thought about the new map vs the old.

Think Gateway is visually a million times better than Spiro and V3. But yeah I agree the pine forests of V3 and Thenyaw had a certain North American vibe that felt really good for some reason.

Gateway just suffers from way too much jungle and way too many hills and inclines imo. I think they should divide the map into areas that have lots of hills and areas that are flat like the swamp and south plains. Seems like right now half the map is a permanently inclined jungle which doesnt feel very good to traverse.

When they add biomes like arid, redwoods, etc in 3 years it'll be perfect. Because graphics aside Gateway just has so many cool features especially for Deino like the east river delta, swamps, lily pads, etc.

I think little alcoves and hiding spots, as well as nesting areas would be really good to draw in groups of people, rather than just having 50 people dumped into south plains and the rest of the server wandering around alone in the jungles of the unecessarily giant map.

Also I miss the giant flat plains of the old isle. Just a flat expanse with nothing but bushes and a few trees. Had a crazy majestic vibe where you would just see a pue or a maia herd running around in the distance, wish they would bring that back.
