Beautiful Amerish

meh. Amerish does not look beautiful but plain. Having poppin grass doesn't look nice. The map looks empty how SOE made it. Bases feel out of place.

lol I always forget there's grass on amerish. I keep flora turned off because it helps FPS

You're right; grass alone doesn't. But combine it with unique trees, rolling hills, weird purple crystalline formations, giant moons, purple glowing butterflies, and fields of wildflowers gently swaying in the breeze, and it's pretty damned nice. I'd live there.

Damnit man, they have a freaking farm on Amerish.

I have no idea why this is not Amerishside 2....

Too bad that the grass with the trees, wildflowers came from the same package (http://www.speedtree.com/) and SOE doesn't use it to the full effect. Giant moon is part of the sky box.

The map layout in general could be improved. About 25-35% of the map is wasted on dead space. Bases are placed most of the time in pits.

Base placement, Mr. GlassHalfEmpty? No argument there.
Unless you put them underground, they'll look out of place. It's development, after all.

I don't care what "package" the flora came from...it's still pretty.

Must admit, sense the alerts I have seen much of this map and like what i see.

I agree. I was very disappointed with Amerish after I read its description and then actually visited. I was expecting and hoping for an actual tropical jungle with vulcanic mountains, not grass land with some trees and big heaps of dark rock.

those will come with time. Amerish is sort of a temperate region sort of like the Appalachian mountains. Hossin will be a jungle continent, and Searhus whenever that comes out some time in the next few years, will be lava and volcanoes.

One can only hope SOE can dream and make something that looks nice.
