Posted April 12, 2015 There are already home servers. Why would elevation need "home islands"? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, but they can command rowboats, and those things have a constant speed even in crappy winds... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 12, 2015 Was really looking forward to play on the new map but when I saw the map dump all joy seemed to be sucked out of me... More land plz.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 12, 2015 I think for PvP you couldnt have made this map more counterproductive. If you thought Elevation was dead before the reset i exspect it to become either literall ydead or a server were no action will happen because the travelliung time and efford to get somewhere despite from the time alone you needed, is ridiculous. Sorry but whoever made the map, he havent thought this through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Worst PVP map ever. This is a really sad joke. This will cause even less PVP, if more less is possible... Edited April 12, 2015 by Sklo:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) And volcanoes. Maybe some more sand. I think bonegetter referring to the general opinion that people have about Klaa. fixed That's okay. I only worry about the opinions of those I respect. Though if it helps... I don't even respect myself much Edited April 12, 2015 by Klaa 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 12, 2015 To each their own. no, not to each their own, you're commenting on a map you have no experience with or any form of stake in. i play on elevation and can say that this map isn't what Epic needs at all. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 12, 2015 But guys "Some coastal areas have shallow waters, perfect for building harbours and docks." See they optimized it for boats. So all is good right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 12, 2015 There are currently no plans to delay the release of the map.Any decision will have to be run past the development team, so until that happens and a decision to change it or delay it is made, it's going ahead as planned.. Why would you keep on with this map after seeing the extremely obvious disgust and hate towards the new map? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 12, 2015 I think they should put this map in PTS for a day or two, i think everyone is over estimating sail times. my best guess is about 25-30 minutes sailboat from outer to inner island, and about 1hr 15 mins from outer island to other kingdoms outer island. As far as complaints about not being able to 'play the same' as before, that kind of change is needed. Whether the change is better or worse only time will tell. A map that most people are uncomfortable with gives me a little hope that things have a chance of getting better. Unfortunately, I think it is game mechanics that ultimately need to change to improve epic, a map can only do so much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) The new map is strange, but the map is good. lots of water = cool pvp Main island is not for cowards. Lots of water= No PvP On elevation or the home servers, you have the outer ocean, if you are sailing along it and someone else is, you will run into each other pretty much every time. On this server you have areas almost the size of elevation between the landmasses, running into anyone while sailing is going to be extremely rare. I think they should put this map in PTS for a day or two, i think everyone is over estimating sail times. my best guess is about 25-30 minutes sailboat from outer to inner island, and about 1hr 15 mins from outer island to other kingdoms outer island.

A map that most people are uncomfortable with gives me a little hope that things have a chance of getting better. Unfortunately, I think it is game mechanics that ultimately need to change to improve epic, a map can only do so much. The main thing is that you are REQUIRED to sail to go anywhere, and those sail times are obscene(and much longer than I assumed, but I haven't played wurm in years, they seem pretty likely now that I thought about it), going out to roam for pvp should not require 2 and a half hours of sailing. It makes it extremely difficult to roam (not even counting travel time), since you have to take enough boats to carry horses for everyone, and running into anyone is going to be even rarer than on elevation. It pretty much removes the ability to control territory, since the central island is pretty much locked down by the lights+starter deeds and deeding on someone elses starter island would just put you a long sail away from the rest of your kingdom.
