Dove 27 Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) As the title suggests, there's been an influx of new players joining the server and there's even more coming, potentially. The current start zone can prove a little too demanding and convoluted for those who are still downloading the client and getting used to all the new features. There's many, many objects processing in the background and the zone design makes everything feel very crowded when there's a lot of people online at the same time in start. As such, I suggest something along the lines of flatlands, simple design, not too many objects necessary to process, and enough space for everyone to move around.

ramonalisa 0 Posted March 28, 2021 yea this would be nice, considering some folks just don’t have the processing power to even load the start zone at all -- which i think is very exclusive of the team, regardless of intention Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celest 11 Posted March 30, 2021 agree, feelsbad for the people who'd end up having some sort of epileptic attack over the blue rave that's gonna be happening on their faces as soon as they log in for the first time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dove 27 Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) HELLO IT'S BEEN MONTHS CAN WE PLEASE GET A YES OR NO ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE IN A MUCH MORE DIRE NEED OF IT NOW WITH THE INFLUX AND HOW SLOWLY THE START ZONE IS LOADING FOR THE NEWBIES THANK YOU Regardless of reason, I feel like ignoring this is a little counter-productive. We don't want something new, but something that works. Can we please focus on player-friendly accessibilty that doesn't require powerful computers? And can we please focus on the fact that a big portion of the community is asking for this as well? The silence has raised a lot of questions. Hundreds of objects + hundreds of people + rendering + countless TRPs just doesn't work anymore. We don't necessarily require a new build. even an empty infinite flatlands is enough.

Erkor 119 Posted July 26, 2021 agreed i think we should either get a new start zone temporarily until nomi (which if i get it right would alleviate the lag issue?) gets finished or we get a new start zone period that's either made from scratch or a remote map somewhere i recall it being possible to make maps in noggit and upport them to bfa so doing that sans water and adding it thereafter is something that could be done no?? idk i never used noggit it scares me [Gunmar] says: "I can't believe this 'Arahi' woman went down so fast.

Thor5533 0 Posted July 26, 2021 I agree with this, i would love to see a new start and make it simple. So people first loging in can get into the game and prepare trp's and get to know some peops on the server without lagging alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Razmataz 14 Posted July 31, 2021 Okay, this evolved into more than just an initial loading zone. We've got a nice, "lightly populated" (2500 objects) introductory area which will also give new people a little questline to get accustomed to the server.
