The monuments are still the same layout. They may be oriented differently or in completely different locations - snow, desert, etc. There are three general tiers of areas. Tier 1 is where you spawn, usually desert and monuments like the Harbor and Gas Stations. Tier 2 is the areas near the NPC towns, and good monuments like Dome, Sewer Branch. Tier 3 is usually the snow, and has Power Plant (our monument) and Launch Site, the best loot is here.Cakedaddy wrote: Do the areas of interest on the maps change between servers/wipes? I'm guessing the locations do, but I'm talking about the exact layout. For instance, the reactor area. Are the buildings, towers, tunnels, etc always the same?
One of our bigger problems last night was communicating enemy locations. "He's near the larger red building". "He's in the tunnel thing leading up from that one place". I'm hoping learning the layout of those areas, and maybe coming up with our own naming scheme is possible. "He's where the med crate spawns" "He at the stairs leading to the office" etc. More specific locations. Last night "He's by the red building". "Ok, I see three red buildings" "The one with some white on it" etc. By the time we figure out what building we were talking about, they are no longer there, or we are dead.
Plus, learning to aim. I need to check the combat log to see if I'm hitting anything more often. Because I feel like I'm not hitting shit.
2 Oil rigs will spawn off shore near any zone, so they are a wild card.
So if we come up with slang names for frequently visited monuments we'll keep that knowledge.
There are servers that are like gun ranges - search for "UKN" modded servers for shooting practice.
. End of wipe fun.
