Quote from: 86MaxSmart on 18 Jan 2014, 00:18:06Maybe it's because i can't view the map in 3D yet, but all four of my favorite 1.7 biomes don't seem to be present. Roofed Forest (Black Forest), Mesa (Bryce), Ice Plains Spikes, and Flower Forest. I might be missing something though. Also, would it be possible to add a smaller alternate wilderness map that has been generated by a random minecraft seed?My first impression with the Town World was "this is clearly not the default terrain generation".Seems to me all the area around spawn is carefully manifactured, with clearly visible circles of trees/rough terrain around flattened land.I'd rather have a natural looking land that I could _choose_ to flatten to build a town and a wilderness world that is truly wild.

If the land has been manufactured and features are repeated throughout (like islands), it feels like it has already been explored and crafted for me. I'd rather to do that myself. That's why I asked if an alternate wilderness map could be generated from a truly random looking minecraft seed. I also was hoping for some of those biomes I listed. The 1.7 seeds are amazing.
Yeah... welll, sorry if I can't see the 3D world on a 2D map.
from above it looks a bit 'disneyland' to me.

Dynamap does have a feature where you can "see" the world in a quasi-perspective view whereby you can view it and move around at an angle above the surface. This allows you to view the map in virtual 3D as you can see elevations as well. Apparently, this is suppressed, not included, or takes up too much data space for it to be shown here. It's pretty amazing, if any of you have ever seen it.Quote from: Dopehead_NL on 18 Jan 2014, 19:13:16from above it looks a bit 'disneyland' to me.Whoa, that is freaky Dope, Disneyland was the analogy in my mind also. lol.
I to feel that the worlds look quit artificial.As you might know I am a lover of the wild, would have also preferred it to look wild.Walking around in it might give a different perspective, from above it looks a bit 'disneyland' to me.But thats the eye in the sky view, from down below I suspect that feeling will fade.

Yeah... welll, sorry if I can't see the 3D world on a 2D map.All I've seen (and referred to as "flat land") were clearly manmade circles of trees/grass around plains and equally manmade rivers, together with the statement "consider building a town on a river".
Is this not the 3D you were referring to?
Quote from: Fatnoob on 18 Jan 2014, 23:55:13Is this not the 3D you were referring to?Yes, that's it, but the resolution and navigation are pretty poor. It was suppressed exactly like I said it might be. I have seen it previously with the 3D as the default.
There will always be critics and there will always be loud critics. If people are disinterested in the world, then they can go play somewhere else. But for those of us waiting with electric anticipation I am sure I speak for us when I say we simply cannot wait. The images we have been shown are incredibly special and I for one cannot wait to jump in and waste an incredible amount of time in this world. Keep up the good work guys and I hope we see you in game soon!
Fatnoob,Did you ever consider asking some of your most dedicated players what they might like or not like for V6 before all the development work started? I know I was in the top 10 in total time spent in V5. I was in the top 5 in time after V6 was announced. If that doesn't count as dedicated, I don't know what does. I was also a multiple time donator. I don't recall ever being asked what preferences I might have, or what's important to me. Not only that, but I (just like everyone else) lost everything (mcmmo, builds, money, special items, etc., etc., etc...) especially all the time I invested. I wasn't given one lick of consideration, not one. When I try to suggest something important to me it is dismissed every single time. You might want think a moment about who really has a right to be annoyed at this point.Max

I was speaking for all of us dedicated members esp, using me as an example. None of us were asked and if Fatnoob is annoyed (whinning as you call it) he might want to look at the rest of us and what we've gone through. That is the point. How dare you claim that I think I'm more special than anyone else. You couldn't be more wrong.
Just a note: since this is really going too far, please avoid quoting my previous post together with other stuff not coming from me.The facts:-The map offers an isometric view, not in-game 3D as the pics Fatnoob posted.-The map is all I have at my disposal to make up my mind.-Indeed the screenshots looks amazing, but I can't see that in the map and it takes quite a bit to load for me, so I judged based on what I could see in a 10 minutes scrolling.-I failed to spot those underpasses, canyons and good stuff and focused on the "suspiciously convenient green circles around flattened land".-It's been confimed that the land is partially manmade, with convenient access routes to wild spots.If there are the 1.7 default biomes out there, good.I couldn't find them in a 10-minutes scrolling, or I failed to recognize them hence my previous comments.FYI: you can edit a quote, so when you quote something make sure to keep it in context.
You have not been listening/looking, -first of all it doesnt matter if the map is not 3d, you judge on a map from a high up "eagle view", which is nothing like you will see it ingame, its just not the way to judge a map properly.-I just posted the video of the custom biomes again, are you to ignorant to watch something before you post?-Again like above, watch the video then you kinda get the idea other then that just wait for the actual release then, before you judge.
