    The core issue is NOT map design, (strictly speaking in terms of how high walls etc. are not in terms of how repetitive and shitty they may be. then again, the black shroud is a crappy zone because it adheres toyour guys philosophy of making everything bigger)

    Map design IS a problem in areas, but there is nothing wrong with the geography and inclines found in, say, la noscea. The hills are perfectly fine in terms of size. The problem is that you can't get over them. The answer is not to just make everything bigger whenever you run into a bump. Or every time you run into a log just make the log gargantuan. Part of a natural world design is going to be those small hills. Part of a natural word design is going to be non-gargantuan logs. And you need to be able to naturally overcome those without having to run around them because you are anchored to the ground.

    Making EVERYTHING, ANY possible obstacle huge to keep you from wanting to jump over it is asinine. That is not good world design. That's how you get The Black Shroud, nothing to traverse, walls are all gigantic so you can't pass them. Some things can be huge if you want them to be un-passable, but not everything needs to be huge.

    Ultimately, what you need is a tool to traverse these retarded 1-foot walls and inclines, 1-foot walls which are only actually retarded NOT because they are small, but because you can't traverse them. JUMPING is the best and most cost effective tool to get rid of these stupid situations while salvaging a natural sense of geography.
