Does the map seem small to you compared to other MMO?

I haven't made up anything imaginary so far bro. It was all you.

You are in a thread not talking about the topic trying to insult aka trolling.

If I recall correctly, Rift was super tiny when it was first released as well. This one should grow as time goes on.

Since very first post i have been on topic that is 'discussion about map size of Defiance'. And i don't see where i insulted you, unless calling on your bull about FFXI being a failure and 20+ zones is small is an insult? maybe you shouldn't make up stuff then and no one will call you out on it?

I didn't make anything up.

Liar.

Look, another lie.

He will never admit it. They say if you tell yourself a lie over and over again after some time it begins to look like the truth.

So 3 quick things:
1> As previously stated, you don't "outlevel" a zone so the entirety of the map is always a viable zone, whereas games like WoW, you would outlevel a zone and go to another and never have a need to revisit an previous zone as it has become obsolete to your character.

2> The development of this game was also constrained by the development of the TV show - you have to consider that they share the same universe so there can't be a unilateral decision made about parts of the world, as such creating more zones for this game most likely has more complexity to it than other games.

3> Even if there are only 5 zones (Mount Tam, Madera, Marin, Sausalito, SF) at launch, I don't understand why that is really even a big concern, given the nature of these games allows for expansions to the world. Sure, I could see it if it wasn't an MMO, but as an MMO, we all know that new zones are always being added.

GW2 is same. You get scaled according to the zone so everything is re playable all the time. No part of game world is wasted and still GW2 dwarfs Defiance in terms of sheer size.

So i doubt the reason you gave for keeping map size small is valid.

Except that isn't the case with GW2. Mid level zones are ghost towns, you can travel through most of the world and never see more than 5 people. This is because it is too big and spreads people out too far, hence Trions choice to try something smaller.

Opinions are not facts.

But i love how you keep changing goal posts.

I never said they were... Sigh now you are making things up.

And you think it won't happen once the map size in Defiance will increase? i am sorry but this problem is inevitable in MMOS once new zones are added.

Only difference is that in games like GW2 which decided to release with lot of content it is happening now and in case of Defiance it will happen in later months.

You can only delay this problem for so long.

No you did try to pass your opinion as a fact. FFXI wasn't an amazing success but it wasn't a failure either on consoles. Infact at release it had more console player than PC players till it was launched in western market.

As usual you keep making stuff up.
