While we know a new map in development, and its likely this thread/any thread wont have a particular impact over its development, maybe just maybe it will.
Here is a place to put your top 5 things.
1) SIze. The bigger the better! I feel like this will be most players number one response, but it bears repeating.
2) More PVE/solo friendliness. I Know CE started out life as a PvP game, but I’m a strictly PvE kind of gamer, and I only got CE when I learned I could play solo/ co-op.
I really feel like if more people new that you could play solo, and the game had more content pointed in that direct it could offer a really great (and profitable revenue path.)
I quit AoC mainly because I got tired of needing other players, and I loved that game and was there off and on since release having pre-ordered the game. I love playing in the Hyborian setting as my own character. Conan himself is cool and all, but the age undreamed of has such rich potential for players to forge their own characters and stories that I never want to play as him.
3) New Location, new story The differing environs is great, and is something that I would like to see in the new map but I wouldn’t really want to play on a map where I’m just looking at the same story laid out differently.
Fun new locations could be the Border kingdoms (we’d lose deserts and jungles, but get more greenery) or islands type locations like the Barachan isles, or islands in the southern sea.
I particularly like the southern sea option as maybe it would give us a chance to khitain, Vendyan NPC’s show up.
4) Less ruin density It annoyms me that Its very hard to make a settlement in CE that is out of sight of giant king ruins. I know they are a huge part of the setting for the game, but I’d like it if i didn’t have one of the many in game Burj Khalifas in sight at all times.
5) NPC camps dont take up all the best natural fortification areas This woulnt have a big impact on game, but its frustrating that all the best areas to make a defensible outpost tend to already be taken by NPC camps.
