New wall map of Novia

A decoration was added to the top of the frame of the wall map of Novia in R50 QA. Aside from the fact that this decoration (though pretty) detracts attention from the map itself, it means that the entire map has to be placed lower on the wall to accommodate the decoration.

This is bad for two reasons:

1. in some decoration environments the map might not fit in the vertical space anymore
2. even when it does fit, the map placement might no longer seem "right". In my case, my subjective opinion is that the map is too low on the wall. It looks unbalanced.

I also submitted a bug describing how the map was placed further to the left, overlapping other deco, when I saw it in R50 QA.

Well, may be we could have the symbol in a nice way on the frame instead of above? Barugon also wrote about.
If I would be another person, I would smile and say: If we don't have other problems a few weeks before launch, the game is more than ready to go!
So there are a lot of puzzle parts of this game which are important for a lot of people. All puzzle peaces together will make a great puzzle.
It's relly good, we have people who care about, to not have only a functional game, but also a nice and beautiful one!

 

Those maps give me a headache only because of the boat lanes and how to get where from which city. Have they been modified and made a bit clearer for R50?

 

The map in game works. Novia is big, so it takes time to know about all the ways

 

Bad, i dont want this hanging assembly

 

Not sure what they were thinking when they added that. It looks terrible. Keep it the way it was, please.

 

I agree. This is not a welcome change. Hopefully they will change it back.

 

Well, in contrast to the change of trophy sizes, which created a reality bending overlap of "objects" that I have not fixed to this very day, this seems more like a minor issue.

 

Or old version, new version.

 

Hmm.... They normally don't put on a virtue symbol unless they plan to release a version without it....

 

So ugly. Can you imagine am artist putting her signature on the outside of a frame like that? It totally detracts from the work proper.

 

BDF is going to lose it @Baron Drocis Fondorlatos

 

OMG.. that is SO tacky. good grief.. why attempt to "fix" something that wasn't broken. This just looks cheesy as hell. THe map has always been one of my favorite deco items.. but if this stays.. I'll be taking mine down..
seriously.. C H E E S Y...

It's like buying a new Mercedes and then going down to WalMart and getting some funky plastic spoked hubcaps.

@DarkStarr dude please... whoever is on this.. please leave it like it was.. the way I think the VAST majority prefers.... this is just straight up FUgly

 

Moondials anyone? Lord help us.. can we have anything that's truly a rare without reskinning.. and then telling us how it's cool because they're different?

 

3. It's super ugly.

 

Yeah, they're probably planning on destroying it's uniqueness by putting it in the add-on store.

 

Mind you, I always thought all new players should have the world map in their inventories as a game object... better imo than SotAMap, and still possibly part of some cartography system Ep2, etc.

Not necessarily as a framed wall decoration, per se...

 

It's a pledge reward, not a piece of starter gear. BTW, I'd love to have the in-game map that all Windows and Mac users enjoy.

 

Yea, the deco wall map

 

Not a fan of the symbol on the top of the map. It was quite fine the way it was.
