It really does! Hoping it is.

It is!

Volcano in the middle, Laka on its island up top.

YAY LAKA! :D

Hey look!!

Its a a square map, how new and interesting !!

Because clearly the only important thing about a continent is the shape.

:rolleyes:

dat Lava.

I want the Volcano to erupt and randomly kill Libs from time to time.

hell yeah

always liked the earthquakes on Searhus, made for some crazy gameplay. Had one of my biggest infantry kill streaks during one.

And exactly what shape would you like it to be? Will it change gameplay or make the map somehow more or less playable to change the shape? Why don't you get a degree in programming and you make a map for us. Im sure you'll do a much better job after all.

[Dougnifico]

Well, lets be fair, Searhus has always been square.

Can't wait for Searhus. It looks like they filled in all the holes where there was water, that's kind of disappointing though. I can't see the Laka/Tara islands either.

Am I missing something though? You say you see lava, but I see none in this pic.

I believe it has been a wish of the community to have maps that don't seem so artificial like the ones we have now. Indar, Amerish and Esamir look like they've been baked in the same shape. I can't say the same about this one though. It does however still look cramped like the others.

Oh, my mistake

I wasnt aware that one needed to have various degrees to make comments on game design, development, programing and so forth. How foolish of me.

So with that in mind, your degrees are in sociology, logistics or psychology then? Based solely from the fact that 4 square maps makes for happy, enthusiastic and easily controlled players? :rolleyes:

[Hamma]

Didn't they confirm Searhus would be next? It's all a blur. :lol:

[Chewy]

Looks like either a remake or the old maps model being used for reference.

1 small island mass on the top with a large center mountain surrounded by 6 red dots, most likely bases.

[Vashyo]

I hope it has less squareish shape. Hard to tell from that pic. Does look a bit like the old one. Would like to finally see some water with bridges over them. :D

[Hamma]

Here we go with the square thing again :rolleyes: :lol:

I'd rather maximize the possibly playing space. Though I really wish they would push out the OOB area in many spots.

[Methonius]

Hopefully the inner volcano erupts every so often like an event that triggers and explodes molten rocks in random directions and aircraft panic and have to dodge the incoming blasts that shoot in all directions. Would be quite bad ass indeed. Then when the molten rocks hit the ground in different spots they explode and shoot debris in different directions causing major havoc in the area lol.

Come on guys you know you like that idea.

[capiqu]

Tearing eyes my beloved planetside1 favorite continent. :) lol. seriously I loved that continent.

A never ending "bending"?

nah they should just cancel all flights due to the ash cloud, health and safety first people ;)

If they did that, people would only complain that there's too much space to fight over. :p I do agree though, I wish they'd push it back so to go out of bounds you have to fly over the water at least, rather than random bits of the main landmass.

Absolutely.

I think folk are saying 'square' because they're thinking in terms of three footholds, one per faction. But that need not necessarily be the case and when we get the inter-continental metagame hopefully it won't be because warpgates will be capturable.

[Dougnifico]

My opinion on the square thing is, honestly, look at PS1. Bases could usually be contained in a square box drawn over the continent. The game would really be no different if they just made the map look more organic. Besides, if they bring back the intercontinental lattice then the square maps to have even advantage for each warpgate no longer matters.

My suggestion for an update to SOE: When you bring back an intercontinental lattice (I'm not talking base lattice, separate discussion) just slap a little extra crap on the edges so people stop bitching and to increase immersion. If you don't think its going to be used much, then don't work to hard on it. Just copy and paste some crap to make it look nice.

[Shamrock]

As long as they get the Wakea - Tara and Laka Island bridge fights in place I will be happy , oh and lots of lava :)

A bit of inspiration ( the background, not the fight itself )

Exactly, pluse with their long term vision of potentially haveing continents seemless devided by water keeping them roughly the same shape & size may be an easier way for them to attempt it.

[TheRagingGerbil]

I'm curious if the summit of the volcano will be above the flight ceiling again. Was always fun setting up Skyguard ambushes at those low saddles.

[CrazEpharmacist]

Man, this game is going to be so empty when the fourth continent releases. I'm already having trouble finding fights in non-prime time. They really need server merges soon.

[Sturmhardt]

Yeah... we really need cross continental warfare soon, it gets boring on the maps right now...

This involves black magic none of us will ever fully understand..

This will be a loooong time off I think.

[Figment]

It is!

YAY LAKA! :D

Ah Laka... I remember when me and DrBuggs drained Laka, then got Mercs to defend it, which apparently happened during RAS' lunchbreak. When he came back, he found the entire VS recall from their Hossin farm invasion to siege the island base which by then was swarming with NC Thunderers and Deliverers as the entire empire had HART dropped in for a naval battle of doom! :)

Apparently RAS raged for half an hour how they could not simply look at NTU values of maps when he was away for a moment! :D

Was an utterly epic island hold, probably one of the biggest amphibious clashes we've seen in PS1 on Werner too. :)
