How long ago did we get a new map?

[SaltyLord]

Just curious.

How long ago did we get a new to play on or a new game mode?

Seems to me all the staff is only working on gambling mechanics or new ships to retract more money from the players.

 

So basically has development stopped more or less and are only money generating things implemented?

 

I mean, graphics are kinda meh, immersion is kinda stalling (no birds flying around, sounds are meh around islands city's, for submarine players nothing to look at occasionally like underwater growth or fish, it's a barren wasteland underwater).

 

If i can design a boat in 3 to 4 weeks, i know a small team of WG can do a lot in 2 to 3 months on the design side of things.

So why is it not happening?

Wy do i get the feeling the game is stalling and standing still?

They were designing subs. For last 2 years or so. And also you cant sell a map via lootbox so why would they creat one?

[lovelacebeer]

WG have said they were too busy forcing submarines and the underwater environment on us to bother creating new maps,  in their latest semi apology they have said we should get 1 new map next year maybe 2 ( don’t get your hopes up it’s WG we will be lucky to get the one new map). 

 

I guess the the last time we saw new maps outside of special events was in 2019.

just lack of creativity ...

just demands it a bit more than ordinary sausage selling

Impsibru for WG :)

Maps must be carefully designed and balanced.

So MM can create horribly mismatched teams to do the actual fighting.

Thanks for starting my day with a 'giggedy'.

I'm actually at work right now. I work on a ship in Norway and we make, wait for it, actual maps.

 

We survey the seabed using ROV's.

 

So far this year we've surveyed 10's of thousands of km worth of seabed and have mapped and charted it all.

 

Making a map for WG to me looks effing easy. Make half a map then mirror it and some little tweaks to make some slight differences each side and BINGO. How hard can it be? 

 

Our actual ship, the Edda Flora. 

 

 

 

The open section is where the ROV is launched.

I think that would require some time spent on planning and design rather than a revenue inducing activity.

Trying to tell to sub Oct that instead of another lootbox with ugly camo we can do something usufll but for free? i think it is hard. 

[Captain_Breeze]

Sure , a map does not make money, but it will hold peoples interest and thus keep them playing. It's a no brainer to me.

Again, that requires some thought (not much).

Sure you could, sell gamble-boxes for the chance to play a new map before everyone else

Christ man, don't give WG any more ideas.... 

[Mad_Dog_Dante]

Quit yer whining. We get more maps next year then we got this year. Or last year. ^^

 

I can't phantom the mismanagement this oozes. WG and Lesta allowed a whole department to be taken hostage for 2 years for a class that will be as unpopulated as carriers have been for 6 years now. TWO YEARS OF MAP DEVELOPMENT LOCKDOWN. What kind of bizarre planning and budgeting is that? 

[NoLuvForPhatShips]

I mean who doesn't like playing the same map over and over?

 I've gotten so use to the maps that I don't even have to look to play anymore.

You are is right if the OP read some devs logs or watch the terrible twins video they told use next year we get more maps.

 Wow such quality after 6 years we might get a new map or maybe even 2 next next year

[lovelacebeer]

As has been said WG plan to add one or maybe two maps next year and as we all know WG’s statements are caste iron guarantees like no guns bigger than Yamato, no submarines etc. 
 

I do hope we get new maps next year but I will believe it when I see it. 

[anonym_0oKN3vO3JZ91]

Here we go again...
Whining about no more new maps in the game!

But what do these r_etards want?

Bozhe Moi!!

ACTION!

 

Hello monkey.

You think you EXACTLY know how to "ride a horse". You say Developers are stupid, but everything is obvious to you. Moreover, the better the game, the more such opinions.
Always wondered why you yourself don't make games? Cooperate, make a kickstarter or investment fund would allocate finances. Game design, PR, Marketing, and the internal dryuchilovo [hard work, in a negative connotation. Like a very tiresome hard work] of "stupid developers" would be completely in your hands.
What minds and intellect [you have] - what a terrible force, success is guaranteed! The main thing is to be able to switch from the mode of discussing someone else's work to the mode of one's own creative activity.

 

AAAAND

CUT!

    Can you tell us which new map that was or was it a revamp of an existing map? OP did ask when was the last 'new' map introduced.

The whole sub development has been done backwards, they've spent time and money creating underwater maps and models before they worked out the basic gameplay, or even if there is a playable game there at all.

 

Idiocy of the highest order.

Ahhh, Crash Zone Alpha, TY for the info, lovelacebeer (btw what is your beer laced with? ).

So, a new map projected in 2022 (& maybe a projected player contribution map  in 2023).
