Update Maps to Show DoD

Post by sprint113 »

Currently, most servers have rules about engaging in and out of the dome of death (DoD). However, there usually aren't any indicators for where the DoD boundary lies, especially for ranged engagements. Usually, players/admins have to correlate with the map gallery or check battlerecorder afterwards to confirm a player's position.

Simply having the DoD overlaid like on the map gallery as the default map would help a lot.

I agree, just a outline showing where it starts and ends would be could, no need to put a giant marker on the map.

There is only one minimap per map and there are maps with different areas being DOD, dependently on a layer.

So make object spawner markers.

Would look cool if there were small yellow signs on a little pole at physical entrances/exits that border DoD, or plopped down like markers along a fence line with some distance between them.

maybe "No Fire Zone", or even "Entering No Fire Zone" or "Leaving No Fire Zone".

Like artillery range signs, red letters on yellow signs... with a universal symbol.

Would be less 'gamey' and more immersive and natural to the maps.

But why we can see different "out of combat zone" demarcations on different layouts from same map? (that demarcated zone where both teams cant go)

Why dont consider "DOD" as "out of combat zone", so it can be demarcated on map? (visually only, of course)

Tiedän vain, etten tiedä mitään. Ich weiss nur dass ich nichts weiss. Ek weet net dat ek niks weet nie. Wiem tylko, ?e nic nie wiem. Heoi ko ahau anake e mohio ana kahore au e mohio.
