Title: Okay, Fluorite is always too busy...I think we need new, big public maps!
Post by: mismatched on August 13, 2012, 10:15:05 pm

Just what it says :/ Just as a suggestion, if you guys do decide to add new maps, I realized that the majority of FH is either warm-temp environment..or the frigid south pole. Perhaps we can get some mountainous environment in there? Like the Water Mill in FH+. It would be far easier to rp realism for wolf characters and such.

Something along the lines of merr:

or

I'd be more than happy to design and/or contribute to the map. I just want to give FH a bit more variety, and space! We keep growing! D:

I like it! Nice idea! If we have another big map like this, role-playing realistic wolf rps would work great! And if need be, maybe they should make a savannah map, for the realistic lion rps? The mountain one would also work for people role-playing as cougars, lynx's, foxes, etc.
I agree all the way!

I definately have no argument against new maps of environments that aren't in game especially the Savannah and mountain map since soo many people have asked for it and I would think that a game with soo many lion RPs would have already had it by now. Honestly I wish that FH+ sometimes would replace the regular FH since I notice there is soo much more maps and detail to it than there is on the regular FH. Even if FH+ couldn't replace FH I would love to at least see some more love and attention put on the maps that already exist. Why add new maps that might be as dull as Atlantis or Last Cave? I love the maps on FH but something needs to be done to make them more liveable and welcoming to RP.

Oh yes! That would be great! We could have a desert map, a mountain map, a swamp map, a savannah map, any terrain you could possibly think of-- oh and a jungle map! There could be a sort of tree house map, that would be a nice little hangout area. There could even be a map just for advertising, with little posts where each group can advertise at so you could say. "To join this wolf RP go to podium 66.." Oh, and a volcano map. <3

I'm not sure about that many maps, it could lag out the entire game. Players should make a list of maps , and already created map updates they would like to see in the game and the admins and the map makers should pick the ideas they believe to be most useful and creative, and adapt them into the game for the enjoyment of players. However, I also like the idea of a map just for advertising groups and role plays, because doing so on general in Fluorite  is annoying because you have to search through for the one you like. This could have been a problem on that group/RP map, but you're idea for having posts that say so is a good idea. They should have a large wall, with things that look like signs. Of-course this could lag the game because of the sheer amount you would need for every RP people create, so maybe instead, people describe and speak about their role plays, on stage meshes? You know how like in College they have the stands for joining Sororities, or at the places where you sign up for internship? Like that, and you can rent out a stage for...a half an hour or so. Then people can walk up and down the aisles to find one that fits them. And after half an hour, you can't rent another stage for an hour, so other people may have a chance?

I like the idea of making things organized, but renting things out might be a little much. There could be certain areas for certain types of RPs and then you advertise there for your RP on a podium with a number. :o

Well, I think it is a great idea. But, if they did this, where would Bonfire go? Where would Ficho go? Where would FeralHeart go? I don't think that this would represent FeralHeart as much.
Since, this is a MMORPG. And many people do play this, thus I don't think it work out to be FeralHeart material.
So... Yeah.
But also, the map creator is also there for a reason. So, why not make your own maps, instead of asking for more, when you already have it?

I understand exactly what you mean, but the dfinition of Flourite isn't just it's maps. It's the game itself. Sure, I can make any of these maps if I want, but it's the fact that you don't have to download it and it's already in the game for everyone to visit is what's the good thing about it. Some people can't download maps, so this would be a plus for them! <3

I have to agree with Silvertide. The point of adding a new map to the game is so that people can move out of Fluorite, and advertise elsewhere for the mapped rps and such. But I agree with Laughless that going over the top with maps could lag the game like crazy, and perhaps a specific map for advertising. However, I think that renting out stages and making signs is a bit too much for FH. People may fight over it..which would suck haha!

But thank you everyone for the support in this idea! It's very much appreciated. I only hope that some of the game's main staff see it and comment.

I noticed Crin see it.
But, still. I still think it might overpower many computers, and it just won't be FeralHeart.

I know, many of you people see me as 'A crazy weirdo' for thinking this, but it is my honest opinion.
So, 1 no, and about 4-5 yes.

Yeah if we had bigger maps we could get more people on them and less bad tokens!

I think this is a great  idea! But it might be too much work for the mods to do, we all ready have 7 maps in FH alone. I think we could stick with what we have but if we could have another map as big as the plains that would be great!!!!! ^^

Yes, Rachel, exactly! :D If we could just have one other map, the same size as the plains, it would be perfect!

This is a great idea! :D Of course, if we have too many maps we might lag to death >3> But, large public maps are an awesome idea o3o Until the staff decide whether or not to make more large maps, I use this --> http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=WhiteDusk+Hills#/d5a6fsx (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=WhiteDusk+Hills#/d5a6fsx) ouo To me, it's like a 2nd fluorite (except for the fact that almost no one's there xD)

Even if they did see it, the only one who can make changes to the game is KovuLKD who hasn't been sighted since the last update. And the staff wouldn't even know if an update will come since there is a communication problem between Kovu and staff. (Not blaming the staff)
Always see wonderful ideas posted everyday, but until Kovu actually does something, nothing will be changed. Good to see people are still optimistic about an update though.

i think this is a good idea since the florite plaines have been over crowded with packs, clans, and prides lately. It would give alot more room and alot less arguments about territory and whos in it.

 Feralheart does need more bigger and interesting maps. I would find it fun if they added a swamp map, or even a savannah for the lions. Flourite plains gets loaded with RPs, since it really is the only 'good place'. Especially when you can't make or download maps. And that means den claiming. If we got more maps, it would reduce that, because there would be more places to roleplay.

I agree we should have more maps, then mapless RP groups would have more space.  Just today my group got kicked from a spot because "there wasn't enough space"

Ah, I knew Kovu hadn't been around for a while, but I thought it might have just been me. It's unfortunate that the staff too haven't been able to get in touch with the head of the game; how frustrating. ):

Editing the old maps would mean that people could spread.
Hardly any of us use Atlantis because it has basically nothing in it of interest or large roleplay purposes, nor the Last Cave. If a game administrator/KovuLKD could edit the maps in question to fit what FH actually needs would be a good way to do things.
7 maps is a lot to handle for staff members.

However, environmental maps would be very good for those who cannot download or make maps of their own for roleplays, such as Savannah's and Wilderness's. Generally, the other maps Kovu has made are for fun, and hanging out in, but not for roleplaying.

you know the advertising map idea? well i have half a plan..... you can put a hand made sign at the portal that says-
NO fighting over areas!
respect other peoples groups and don't steal members (someone going to a different group then you whisper- do you want to join?- and they say sure, thats stealing members)
and whatever else is needed
