Bio lab:

Overall plan

1st floor

2nd floor

Is that 3rd image some kind of volcano base

Most likely the inside of a bio lab dome.

Doesnt the Swamp-Continent map look rather small compared to the first one? Maybe it just looks less open...

[EVILoHOMER]

The first map looks a bit weird to have them drastic square like changes at the bottom, looks like the bottom was erased of the top map and they added two smaller island onto it lol.

Looks like it might be the bio lab inside and outside

The first map is Indar, the cont we have been seeing.

The second map though, doesn't look anything like the silhouettes from the other day.

Wondering how the devs would feel about this kinda stuff (and the music) being posted here. Kinda makes me sad it was leaked, but I feel like we've been pretty patient. I dunno, I'm torn.

Hmm. Well that second continent looks pretty genuine, even if still a work in progress.

Seems kind of odd that both continents be so square.

Yeah, leaks always kind of suck, but the stuff is out there so... I'm not sure if it's cool to post it here, but certainly it's worth discussing. With appropriate acknowledgement of alpha and the fact that this is leaked footage, not a press release.

Why so square? Is it something about forgelight?

Something about balance, I'd imagine.

That said, you'd think they'd be triangular.

Looks more like a PORTION of a cont.

the thing i want to point out is i found the TR and NC warp gate much more closer and the VS at the very opposite far away from ours so it will be a way more easy for VS to get back in the figth and back stab tr and Nc while they constantly engage each others due to their proximity

Keep it coming.

Count the number of major base facilities. Nine, just like Indar. Three warpgates/footholds as well. Maybe it is only a portion, but that doesn't seem very likely. More likely it's just still rough around the edges due to being a WIP.

I don't mind the square continents for balance (square, triangular, circular, whatever), but we've seen Indar's hex grid and it isn't perfectly square.

It's possible that they are making square maps for simplicity of design, and that once they finalize a hex layout on each continent, they will tweak the edges of the unused landmass to be less jarringly square.

Or maybe the devs just like square continents. I don't, but it wont hurt my enjoyment of the game any, so I'm not overly worried or anything. It just seems fucking weird.

So I guess beta has started... no other explanation for leaks.. o.O
