Lot's of maps on day one! | Forums

[Poisonshank]

I know that it is only in Alfa stage but my concern would be a lack of maps !. This game has incredible potential and a sense of choosing one side or the other which gives you a sense of direction in the game but i don't think this will last long if there are not enough maps on day one. If you are short on maps in hindsight you look at the game and think actually there is not enough, then I would say take any dlc maps already made and add them to the game from day one and then you have at least over the next year or so to work on any new maps. Games great but a lack of maps will kill it. Another thing I would point out a dedicated mega server for a mass online coop siege 100 or so gamer's . My reasoning bring's me to and old movie called The viking's which i am sure all of you from the team have seen. If you was to agree to such a thing it would inspire people to invest in this game greatly building up rank outfit's pallets and almost endless micro transactions for DLC is certain and would easily take the gaming world by storm. You have done a fantastic job and inspired me to tell you this and suggest more please understand I don't suggest these's thing's to criticise your work but am inspired by you to think about its direction and it's possibilities. There many who criticise what I have said here but let me put this to you even your competitors played your alfa and would not want to see you expand on it. And tell you the game is fine but in point of fact the game is on its way to brilliant , magnificent and if expanded on would leave them having to really think out side the box to beat you but given the toplc of the game that would be a really tough objective and they know it. Invest in this one because this game just became your (CALL OF DUTY). Don't forget to at least talk about the 100 player siege, Elderscrolls did it and do it all the time so i know the ps4 pc and xbox one with dedicated mega server's would do the job. I would invest in this one big time!. Well thats my opinion probably should chat about it. Have a good day everyone and i will look to post more on other parts of the forum.

as you said, it was Alpha. They wouldn't have released everything for us to spoil to the world just yet. We were allowed to stream and talk about what we experienced, but our audience is wide. They would want some things left for our imagination & to build our hype up for. I figure when Beta testing comes out, they'll have those 3 maps again, maybe an extra 2 as well as more modes to try but not everything at once until the final release

I understand but i can tell you this is a game in the right direction.

also, i doubt they'd do 100 player siege mode. Not because it's a bad idea, but because of the lag on the server if 1 player has bad internet. It would ruin it for 100 players as well as possibly crash the server. But maybe they can scale it down to a 30 player mode. That would be far more reasonable on a server, plus wouldn't need such a HUGE map just to spread everyone out on. Also, there have been some interesting game modes suggested to add to our experience, such as Escort, where you'd escort a battering ram to the castle walls. or perhaps travel along a river on a viking ship, stopping to kill warriors on the watch posts along the way.

I would settle for 30 gamer's but i wouldn't want to do it in sections because that would remove free movement in a game and that is a bad idea. how ever the battering ram thing would have to be done in a different way although i get what your saying, It would be to easy if it was a easy in the gate game mode i would make it so gamers were smashing in the gate and we would maybe have to climb the castle and stop then from pooring hot oil. there was a scene in The viking where they throw axe's in the siege door and they climb up the axe's something like that could work. improvised team work. also i would like to see siege loot. less bots you take the more the take. for each map and harder the level enemy on the map the greater the end loot and higher grade maps. Any way this game's going to be good. Most people believe some time's less is more but to be honest in this games case i would say more will be more.

Is there any word out on the number of maps in the final game? Cause we all say "it's Aplha so just wait...." but so far I have heard lots bout more gameplay modes and heroes but not so much on more maps.

Is it certain we will have more than 3?
