Suggestions Regarding the Map

So, lost in translation. Got it. Moving on.

Picked it back up from initial launch in alpha with A21 and, while the layering on of RPG elements doesn't seem to be going over all that well with those who've been with it from the beginning, I think it's in a pretty good state, atm. I doubt the downtown performance issues will ever be wrestled to the ground, but it's the basics I'd be most worried about now, just to get it in the can, so to speak. And, by basic, I mean a few missing animations, replacement of placeholders and stuff like that. 3.0, 4.0 are most important now, I would think, but it could definitely use a once over of major systems when those are completed, including RWG, imo.

I still maintain A21's RWG was leaps and bounds better in the variety department as well as providing those mountain peak and valley views that weren't at all bad for Voxel. If I knew how to do it, I'd roll it back to A21 without the Neopolitan ice cream option and all that jazz, though I'm sure a good many appreciate the opportunity to specify which biome is dead center and won't give up options for all the tea in China.

I'd blame console for restricting the game as heavily as it has been restricted if that weren't passe.

Believe me, the limitations on consoles are absolutely a console-specific issue; it seems they simply don't allow for any modifications. While this approach works exceptionally well for genres like FPS games, it falls somewhat short for open-world titles. Open-world games inherently thrive on the use of third-party software or mods—whether to enhance the overall experience or to explore entirely different worlds through various modifications. However, the inability to modify game files on consoles appears to be a hard-coded restriction of the platform itself—something for which TFP cannot be held responsible. lol

I think you've misinterpreted my comments. If there's translation involved then that's certainly understandable. My apologies if something I said didn't translate well.

Please accept this belated apology; I hope you can forgive my rash behavior earlier. When I saw that description at the time, I completely blew up. It was you who alerted me to the issue with the translator. Thanks again, and my apologies.

No worries. It happens all the time on message boards. I certainly enjoy having more voices and opinions on the boards, even if I might have a different view. By all means express yourself.

Does this mean there will be no more exciting major updates to look forward to?

Bandits will still be a major update. The game options will be a major update to many people who want an easy way to change how their game plays, especially for console players. And even the story may be considered at least a significant update for some. But if it's not listed as something that is planned, then no... we aren't likely to see much in the way of exciting major updates. Take a look at the roadmap they posted a couple of years ago to see what they have left for plans for the game (ignore the dates). That doesn't mean there won't be some updates that may be major for some people or that they won't decide to add in some unexpected major update, but mostly what is listed is what is left.
