Interactive map

[oynlengeymer]

I'm kinda disappointed that this has been released, As a game heading in a direction in the eyes of the devs to be more hardcore survival, and having to find a map in the future, its a shame that this new tool has been created by the Polish guy with a lot of time on his hands.

It is excellent work from him of course, but to have a tool on day one of a server wipe that shows every vehicle spawn location on the map.. It basically means if you are not logged in in the first hour of a wipe, you wont get a car.

I know a lot of longer term players, especially in single player as a testing ground, are familiar with many car spawn locations, but.. this tool just feeds the lazy players and removes the need to even try to search. A car hoarding squads dream come true.

For me, I have to work so cant always put in some time right as soon as a wipe comes, but generally as long as it was within the first day I'd have a good chance to find a vehicle.

Players are using this tool on a tablet next to them while playing and using the in game map with red icon to reference their location and easily navigate.

I hope the devs remove the in game map soon and when you do find a map, there should be no red marker to show your position.. Only ability to zoom in and out and see names of towns.

It might slightly slow people down that use this tool on the day one, but most already are pretty familiar with the worldspace, unless spawning in a newer region.

Map or no map that is the question.

We will get what ever the creators of this game wants to add or remove from it.

I'd rather have the ability to be able to zoom in and out of the or any map, which i either have to go and find or the map that is present on game play day, so that i can see what is actually on any certain part of the map, meaning this is a town there are so many buildings in it and this is the layout of said town or village and so on not matter what part of the map i'm looking at.

I'm eagerly waiting for this to happen. People actually need to use landmarks for navigating! Or figure out the direction by the sun position? But it would also be fun to be able to loot maps, like for one sector, or possibly draw your own and add markings .. or one of those foldable really big "travel guide" maps that my dad used to have in his car.

+6 😉🤙

I love the idea of navigating via landmarks without a map - but no map entirely? Wouldnt a blank map thats filled in as you explore be more beneficial? Im confused as to how you would find certain things in the game world with no actual map to refer too.
Also that and i could get lost in a paper bag so the idea of removing a tool i check every 10 seconds due to walking in circles frequently scares me.

-1 pointless request to me

Yeah, It was a pointless post and just a rant. There was no request made by me to do anything, Of course its out of devs hands. The post was more for the sake of conversation, and yes, for me to express my disappointment. The one and only thing I sort of asked or hoped was that n game map would be removed (which we all know was coming) and when a map is found it has no dot on it, rather a zoom function to see town names and need to check the yellow signs to find what town you're in.

I dont expect that, I guess it was a suggestion to deal with the 3rd party tool slightly.

The devs also have a good point that its not gauranteed cars will be at the locations of course. Tho there will be no more people opening and checking every single garage, they can navigate a little faster.

At the end of the day, there are many ways a player or squad can still obtain a vehicle during any point in the game. I understand it. Its not a huge deal, but just felt slightly disappointed. I'm sure if the devs intended us to all know that info,without needing to play and learn the surroundings, they would have included it in the in-game map.

I'll keep my posts specifically as bug reports or suggestions only from now on, rather that opinions.

My apologies, didn't meant to be rude. Just my honest feedback about the request.

Don't take it personally. :)
