Is it just me or is Gateway the worst map they've ever made by far?

[Jimmy Felon]

Feels like 80% of it is impassible terrain, unless you're a ptera or herrera, obviously.

I've tried playing it a couple dozen times now and 90% of the time I either get stuck somewhere or wander around endlessly never finding anyone, even when the server is full.

I thought Spiro was bad, but now that I've tried Gateway I really miss Spiro.

To be clear, Gateway looks amazing, and the graphics in Evrima are also exceptional. I'm not disputing any of that, at all. If you were just showing quick videos or screenshots of it to someone, most people would be extremely impressed by the quality.

But it's way too f'ing big for 100 player servers. If the servers supported 1000 people or more, I wouldn't have made this thread because it would fix the most glaring issue. I know part of the game is the vastness of it, and how that's supposed to make you feel, but there is a reason so many people are calling this a walking/starving simulator. That is how it feels most of the time, and it's not enjoyable. And if your response is "Get good" you're a dork. There's nothing to get good at when you're playing a multiplayer only game by yourself.

Legit, it being too big for people to just spread out is why migrations are a thing. The only problem is that carnivores don't actually need to follow their migrations at all, and any time the devs add anything to bring a slight challenge to the carni players they immediately whine and cry about it.

I don't even understand the migration system. The sanctuary is obvious, but every time I've followed the migration markers until I'm inside the "migration zone" I don't notice anything different? Isn't there supposed to be all the kinds of food there that you need for your diet? Is it just for herbivores?

It's supposed to have all of your diets as a herbivore, which is why herbivores actually do tend to follow where they go. Carnivores see the migration zones of their preferred species, whatever they may be.

Weird, I feel like I didn't notice any difference in the amount of types of food when I arrived there, as an herbivore or carnivore. I'll have to try again.

how to quick improve the game:
150+ players
spawm more ai food
make a full belly last 6-8h real time so people can walk, explore, have lairs, make nests ( in this format u have to stay on hot spots or u will die of hunger) hunger makes the game a deathmatch.
Carnivoores have territories, and patrol the territorie in search for food, i think don having to worry so much with getting food, allow players to oengage in more creative activities

[creatura05]

full belly lasting 6-8h real time is actually ridiculous, what?

I second this. Unless I just haven't figured it out, im pretty sure the 3 main big lakes do NOT connect, making travel for a croc impossible if you want to relocate without dehydrating to death.

Dondi has lost his mind and thinks doing the opposite of what the Player Base wants and enjoys is the way to go, it is very frustrating to traverse and empty even on unofficial servers with almost 300 Players... think Dondi think!

it is possible but ridiculously hard to reach them, never mind reaching south Plains as a croc...

If you want to play as herbivores and have peace and not be attacked so this map is great, there are a lot of places where you practically do not meet carnivores. If you want to play as a carnivore, walk, explore, lurk and hunt you're screwed. Players are humans and not animals and so 90% of the map is absolutely with minimal player movement. They all meet in a few places where they kill each other over and over again. This map is the worst thing that could have happened. Worst map for crocs, there is minimal movement around the main river courses and getting to the better spots is a horrible bore. As a herrera I explore the map over and over again and still haven't found the perfect spot to play realistically and not just be in a meat grinder. I hope we get a better map sometime because this is total ♥♥♥♥.
