Hossin was recently demoted by astronomers to continent status.

It took some getting use to but I think it is a fantastic map.

Right, continents are now maps, helmets are now hats and weapons are now guns! Welcome to playstation nomenclature!

its ok but like every early map a mess.

floating scenery and generally theres too much obscuring going on by the flora which should be taken into consideration when designing facilities.

like seriously theres one facility where the AV turret points directly at a tree and cant even be used to shoot at vehicles without someone spotting for you, and even then its a gamble.

I agree, despite being unfinished and a bit rough in places, it's still easily my favourite continent. Looks even nicer than Amerish and the bases are as good or better, but it's a lot less annoying to get around.

It actually meets expectations, which is itself is exceeding the expectations that I have from SoE lately. Its good to see that all the time spent on it wasn't a waste, like the unneeded Esamir revamp that made Esamir far worse, for example.

Nevertheless I tend to stay away because the continent always feels too zergy or ghostcappy, rarely balanced numbers between the factions. Vanu tend to run huge numbers on Hossin in some mostly-vain attempt to lock it, resulting in a massive XP bonus on another continent, usually Amerish. I go chase the XP bonus instead of playing Hossin, in a heartbeat.
