Why 2.0 maps will be instantly opened now?

**Leowilde** · 2016/02/21 02:49

I have no idea. I always enjoyed unlocking new sections of the map, as well as seeing the hidden ones and thinking "looking forward to discovering that part". I don't prefer to be handed the entire map on a platter, if that's what they think. :/

The way I interpreted that bit of the patch notes (and the way I still hope it will be) is that the maps will be locked before you enter them for the first time, i.e. you can't open them up at all before you've set foot in them. So if you click on the description of a quest (that brings up the map so you can see where the objective is) but haven't been in that area, it'll tell you something like 'you don't have the map for that area yet'.

If the entire map is shown when you enter the area, how will you even KNOW where you've explored and not? O.o

I can understand the dungeons since it's so easy to miss those nooks and crannies in some dungeons like Sastasha, but was it really needed for the 2.0 open world zones?

It's so easy to map them as is and it added to the wonder and amazement of being a low-level adventurer discovering things

That... makes even less sense. It'd just make it so that you either get the achievement for mapping the place for doing nothing, or it'd make it insanely difficult to GET that achievement because you wouldn't know which part of the map you're missing.

The only way I can see them showing the entire map while still making it obvious where you need to go is if they have the 'instantly revealed' map in grey, and when you go somewhere it gets coloured in with the 'normal' yellow/sepia/brown map colours.

I can't say I disagree. Unlocking the maps was a huge pain for me and I'm glad I don't have to deal with it again. I still haven't fully unlocked all the HW maps because it's a pain in the ass.

I love exploring maps! Even as 31 I go into the Lvl 40 parts of a map just to see it!

This change surprised me. I'm not honestly sure what the intent is behind it—I suppose it's just a way to make the game more friendly to newer players, since the "real" content is the 50+ experience now.

I suppose we'll see something similar for the 3.x areas once we're in 4.0.

I still don't see how punishing new players for being new and denying them the right to explore the game the way earlier players got to is considered "friendly". It seems very anti-newcomer to me.

i don't know if it's really "anti-" new player, but it's seriously presumptuous on the part of the devs. I'd call it patronizing if i had to pick a word to describe it.

Absolutely. Plus, IMHO there would have been so many better ways to add such a feature. I mean it's okay if some players want to have all maps unlocked from the beginning. But why forcing everyone not to be able using map exploration any longer?

This game have thousands of pointless quest - why not making a quest to unlock the maps? Or even easier, adding an item that does the job? This way everyone could play the way he like.

The way they did this feels more like removing a feature from the game. Don't like it.

Why do people play games if they think things like exploring a map is too much work? (Please don't play Black Desert then cause you will hate uncovering that map.) God forbid something doesn't have a special shiny attached to it. Explore the damn map, learn about the area finding vistas and doing quests. Just feel accomplished after getting the achievement of seeing the whole map uncovered.

In the other games I've played, unlocking a zone simply requires running around and exploring. I think that's awesome as I personally enjoy checking out new places and map completion. What I dislike greatly is having just about every new zone locked behind multiple missions, dungeons and/or leveling. Let me explore at my own pace and find my own fun.
