Altitude based, vertical map

(1/7) > >>

DJ Logicalia:
I've been thinking about what sort of addition that isn't too crazy, yet is really different, could add a new dynamic to the game. It crossed my mind that a small map, maybe 1 or 1 1/2 thousand square km, but an enormous hight ceiling, at least triple of whatever the highest one is now would be really cool.
 I can't really think of any real setting. Maybe some kind of vine walled valley, or serene cliffside by the sea. This would add a whole new element to how ships are flown, and I think it could be really cool if done right. Thoughts?

isn't 1000m like a super small map?.. Idk though sounds awkward considering gun arks are generally level.. and the further down/up you have to aim the further they have to be away.. So if the map is more or less just raising/lowering to match enemy height it'd be kinda silly, more so with out any cover at varying heights.. So you could spot people instantly..

It would need more then just extreme hieght to make it interesting to me..



As for a new type of map that's different, but not massively different, I always liked the cave idea.. Having a roof and a floor to deal with + various snakey corridors to fly through and it being pretty dark.. Would mix stuff up a bit I think.. Its not super different because it could be canyon ambush with a roof.. or partian(sp?) .. So the type of map is available, it just needs a roof and such.

I mean, Paratin is 2k squared, and Dawn is a little smaller than that. It would be the smallest of all the maps, map size wise. And you're right, it would need some more to it. Maybe some debree in jutting out from the walls,  or some where. It's got some flaws, yeah, but it I think it has potential.

And I love the cave idea. I've heard it before, and always love the idea

Arturo Sanchez:
just add numbers to the ship icon.

to the approximate km height from the sea level (which I assume is the bottom of the actual map). So the ground isn't technically 0km.

Crafeksterty:
I want say 75% horizontal size that of paritian rumble where the middle is a giant spire of a canyon risen. But it has holes that you can pass through. This spire covers most of the map in the middle.

So not only do you get your cave map wish, you also get your vertical map wish!
