Should FL Change Map?

[JackZ]

Hi guys, what are your opinions on this map?

From the screenshots it may look as large as V5P but if you subscribe to it and have a look around you will see this is not actually the case, the city area is far smaller. It takes around 40 seconds less to get from the spawn point to the furthest point on the map than it does on V5P by range rover (50 seconds vs 1 minute 30)

The City has a small governmental building however instead of having floors such as the SRU offices and the courthouse which are hardly ever used, it has one large room for the President behind a guarded desk (Position for Nexus Desk Secretary) which IMO is a much better use of space.

Another two buildings that I frequently see empty on V5P are the offices (Minnesota & the one behind it that's really dark inside). Instead of countless offices with no windows out towards the city, Pines V2B has a large office building comprising two storeys with full floor to ceiling windows. I believe this could subconsciously increase the level of player interaction, as when walking through the city, you would be able to see others moving about above you etc. This 'large window' theme carries on into a lot of the buildings, in fact most of the structures on the map have them.

Oh, and the shops have shutters which is nothing to do with player interaction but I think it's a nice feature!

Anyway, that's just my take. Subscribe and let me know what you think?

I've just spent a short while looking over it and it and although it does impress me as it's very nice there's many flaws.

• It really does not suit Fearless, it's far too large for our playerbase as well - too many nooks and cranny's.
  
• Little to no Shop keeping Passive RP opportunities anywhere on the map (There's roughly 3 shops for passive RP)
  
• Hardly any places for Aggressive RP to occur properly
  
• Not really any area in which the Corleone's would suit.
  
• Governmental Building isn't very good.
  
• No station for Police/SRU.
  
• Where is the jail, This map has no jail?
  
• No Police Car-Impound area.
  

As much as i like the aesthetics and some areas of the map (Such as lake) it would not work on FL, There's too many missing things.

v2d is uncontested in being the best suited map for FL.

Hey Jack - great to hear your opinion!

I think you might have missed one of the big buildings when you were checking it out, let me get you a screenshot haha

In all honesty passive RP doesn't concern me as much as it should as i'm an Aggressive RP'er, but even still there's literally No Jail area on this map, no police car impound area, the government building is quite frankly absolutely terrible, and it's way too complex to play - New players would join and leave instantly as it would be so slow-paced to play. As well as this the whole map aesthetic just doesn't suit Fearless.

The whole reason people want a map change is for a map like v2d, small, easy to run, all RP's get noticed, constant player interactions as the map is small, great RP opportunities for both pas/agr and government.

Suggesting more large maps that are only good because they look nice is a terrible idea - This map would push so much players to leave FL.
