Reduce the terrain level/altitude difference range

[Nightdawg]

I don't know exactly how to word this, but make the overall world flatter. Reduce the level difference caused by hills, cliffs, mountains, etc. I'm not saying you should remove them, but rather reduce this altitude/level difference range.

There are two main issues we have with terrain:
- Digging to prepare the area for your base can be very obnoxious
- Movement in general, especially in PvP fights

Regarding digging, there are many things that are annoying here, such as the energy drain and the need to have slave alts in order to avoid fucking your main character's hunger and stat progress. But even if we ignore this part of the issue, THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES to level some areas is just annoying.
Regarding movement, this issue can be best observed on mountains, when your *SUPPORTED* ortho camera literally clips through the ground. I know 95% of the terrain is not mountain terrain, but have you seen any games that have such issues? Also, when it takes you 10 seconds to climb/jump off a cliff, something clearly ain't right.

Thanks.

Or perhaps just more flatland & flatter flatland while still allowing for the same extremes.

Regardless +1

No, no more pre-generated extremes. Reduce them.

Sure, allow us to artificially create extreme stuff, but don't spawn them in with the world generation.

I don't see problem there. All is fine

Of course it is alright that mountains are non-flat. However making sure there are some plateaus for mountain forts or outposts would be neat.

What the OP is complaining about, I think there some areas that are constant (across multiple minimaps) 20-40 degree slope.

Since in-game maps can't display topography, relatively limited size of land survey, this issue is compounded. You need to extensively and manually survey and area to figure out how much of a labor sink it will be to get flat.

I'm complaining about everything. Mountains too. Yes, mountains need to be big. They don't need to be so big that the *official supported camera* can't handle it. I also don't need to spend 2 business days to jump off a cliff.

oh man, I was actually missing this game and thinking about coming back, thank you for reminding me about shit like this

especially in PvP fights

just use a custom client bro

[vatas]

Managed to completely overlook the "officially supported camera mode does not really work with mountains" -argument, that is valid criticism.

Jorbtar likes to get upset over ugly custom client features, then turn around and make the game unplayable without them. If you don't turn your trees/reeds into tiny little neon squares you get 6 FPS on a $3000 computer.

I like luring people to deep water Loftar's tile transition has made invisible. I killed Dante like that in world 11. Feels good to delete somebody's character because of invisible death tiles they had no way to predict.
