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?

FL would not thrive on this map.

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.
  
• The map is WAY too complex and would be impossible for new players to get around - they would get frustrated and just leave.
  
• Little to no Shop keeping Passive RP opportunities anywhere on the map (There's roughly 3 shops for passive RP)
  
• There are 7 shops in the city that are all empty, 3 by the SRU building and 4 by the bank.
  
• Hardly any places for Aggressive RP to occur properly
  
• Not really any area in which the Corleone's would suit. 
  
• While I agree the style of the houses which is quite contemporary doesn't suit the Corleone job particularly, both V2D and V5P had them spawn at a slightly modern house, and the only house which would have suited them well (The period white house with the ugly interior) hardly anyone used :/
  
• Governmental Building isn't very good. 
  
• This is more like a town hall, if needed the President could easily reside in the SRU building as there is a large enough office there.
  
• No station for Police/SRU/Where is the jail, This map has no jail?
  
•  
  
• 
  This building functions as the government/SRU building, it's got quite a few offices, an interrogation room with a one way mirror and the jails are on the second floor as seen here:
  
• No Police Car-Impound area. 
  

(Excuse the extremely dark picture but this is at the back of the SRU building. There's also a sheltered parking area outside)

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.

Must not have had enough of a thorough look, my apologies.

Anyways, I still stand on my decision that it would push away new players and only keep old players playing, the map doesn't suit FL - We should stick to the lore of Evocity maps on Fearless - v2d is always going to be the best suited map for FL and the community want it, So let's get it.
