So on the maps, as big as they are... is it a pain to find a battle?

[Sandtaco]

Everybody has been saying how big these maps are and everytihng but, are they too big? Does it take forever to find a battle (or a person to kill), or are the maps small enough to where you can see everybody running around... ?

Wont know the answer to that until the game gets into beta and stress testing

[Molgar]

Isn't there people in beta atm? Or did I miss something?

These pics should give you an idea of the size of 1 continent.

This parcticular picture is the map of the continent where these screenshots were taken, this is only one continent. There will be nine more of similar size but with different climate types.

As to finding fights, the constant requests for reinforcements from your teammates to help defend/attack a base will surely help you know where to find combat.

The continents are quite big but as you can see by that map there are alot of facilities and what not so there will usually be fighting by most if not all of those. Unless you find some remote place there is usually going to be some people to fight.

space between bases and continents will make a sort of puedo spawn time wait, in that the time it takes to get back to the fight will be your downtime.
