samazia 1 Posted April 4, 2020 The price to play exploration from early access was raised in price, and now the map sizes are extremely tiny. This completely ruins the mode for me I can get to every island in a matter of 30 mintues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted April 10, 2020 If you had it in early access, you should not have to pay for the exploration DLC. But, yeah, the islands are too small, too few and ships are pointless now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jchob 354 Posted April 10, 2020 I remember Adam said they are planning to make them bigger again, in the future. Then I'm surely will be back ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oni-220355d79b1eaeef 1 Posted April 10, 2020 dont see why is was switched in the first place, considering it was already that way but I believe you can still download those old maps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indomitus 388 Posted April 10, 2020 It was changed because the engine couldn't quite keep up with it being that size, and the file sizes were getting out of control. I'm really hoping they'll be able to optimize it well enough to allow larger maps again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you will find they either don't work at all or not like you think they will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter-Over-Fire 123 Posted April 11, 2020 I can't wait for a new map Exploration related update. Because I am a nomad stereotype or something, I like to bring my base with me. I don't like to settle down, I like to explore on and on, racking up resources and weaponry to combat other players at sea or at land. Because of the infinite map I want in the game, I would find infinite resources and be able to craft so many explosive barrels for sea combat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand why they switched to smaller maps (like Indomitus said). I'm a nomad é type too, and smaller maps is not enjoyable for me. That doesn't mean that I don't like how maps are. I just wish they will optimize and put back the bigger worlds we had before. I know they will, I trust the team ? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
