Maps break the game. 2ez!

A server option to remove mini map and regular map from all players.

Perhaps further options like: Players are only able to open maps within a distance of a specific item/s(eg. level 4 crafting bench). Or craft able maps.

Or an option to remove the player marker from the map.

I kinda hate maps in games. who needs a brain when you have a magic map.

I mean this as an additional Option. I know most people love maps and good on em....

You're only able to open the map by pressing M.
Stop pressing M.
Don't look in top right corner.
Problem solved.

Seems more like something you'd expect from a mod.

Asking someone not to look at a large portion of their UI is a bit much.

What's with all these I want the game to be no fun for players on my server ideas? I see them often, I am hoping down the road the Dev team set up Servers like 7 Days 2 Die does, it has Tons of options and make the game playable for a very long time

He could play the game blind folded. Playing it with your eyes open is just too easy

I've seen this with a lot of games. Usually games that have been around awhile though, like ARK. Server owners will install some mods that normally make the game easy, but then they edit the config to essentially disable the mod. Your playing along, trying to unlock the items in the mod. When you do, you find out you can't really use them as the mod author intended.

Maybe there is some desire to just prank everyone they trick into playing on their server. To me it feels like an obsessive need to control other people.

Vikings used maps, why shouldn't we? We aren't all Eric the Red. Game is meant to be fun, no maps make a game needlessly annoying, and no one should have to draw a map out physically on paper when the map can change on every game....if the world were static and unchanging then I might see your point, but as the game is designed...no, maps are necessary.

Ping would be busted with no map unless they changed the way it's activated anyway, making finding your way back to a party without no real guide practically impossible without littering the land with beds, and then you only get ONE spawn point, not like other games were you can choose your rez zone. Unless those things are changed maps are likely here to stay.

No map and having to use what they did would be cool/hard

How would a compass be implemented? Along the top of the screen or handheld only? What about coordinates?

This is starting to sound like a pirate game.

not sure what they used really, I know the Sunrock would be needed in Cloudy sailing, a Compass I will have to look online.

Less UI the better imho, I am about blind but still have my UI turned way small

[Voronja]

According to this. Vikings did not use maps.

[Kidkiedis]

Definitely there should be no maps and GPS for 8-9th century viking. Maybe some star markers.

[ᔑᓭ∴ᔑリ⊣]

are you kidding me man the world is like bigger than minecraft or some shet and i get lost just in the 1 forest biome i don't wanna get lost halfway across the damn world too

[Joe_Mayo]

It's impossible to get lost. You have a magical map. Heck I'd settle with a map that starts off completely explored but no player marker.

I really get a kick out of people like you the, "why would some one want to have fun doing something I wouldn't find fun", kind of person
