Ice biome on the map

The map doesn’t need expanding. We’re in the Caribbean so ice wouldn’t naturally be there (hot climate). Volcanoes are everywhere on the planet. The only place it’s doable is in the Sea of the Damned to make sense.

Before I get replies of “it’s a game about magic blah blah blah” let me just say this: All good games base their fantasy with rules in reality to stick by, if you suddenly break those rules, it ruins the magic. The devs have clearly chosen not to make a cold place in somewhere that’s known to be hot.

@tesiccl The map does need expanding, as doing so can bring new events for us to do, can also make us able to unlock more cosmetics and loot, which will make the game less repetitive and fun to play.

I brought this up a while back, most of the comments I got was the map can't be expanded any more but something the devs could possibly do is have rotating map expansions where after each maintenance it would unload one of the area to load the next expansion area treating the roar as the red sea while the other expanded areas are active. That's about the only way they could expand the map without completely overhauling the world.

@lazyjacob55 plenty can be fit within the map without expanding it. The devs have also said they can’t expand it anymore due to technical limitations, so that’s why the Sea of the Damned is there. Adding another area to the map will leave it to die the same way it happened with the Roar. You may think it’s what you want and try and sell it as good for the game, but I’ll let experience and history speak for itself.

Another Falcore disciple...

Ice biome
With the need for a map expansion to make the game more exciting, it could be an ice themed biome as we already have the Devils roar it would be a nice contrast to it, and would bring new loot opportunities as we already have ashen loot, we could have ice loot.
There could also be icebergs instead of rocks in the sea.

Even though this would be nice, people are already complaining that there's no more room on the map. I think it's possible to use the north part of the map since it's almost empty except for the Coral Fortress. But it may not fit that many islands on the other hand. So we may need to find some sort of compromise if a new ice area is ever added.

@pithyrumble watches Falcore for the first time from a video from 4 years ago “oh my god this is great why hasn’t Rare doesn’t this already!?” goes to the forum for their first ever post. Doesn’t read previous posts. Presses send.

Rinse and repeat forever…

i dont think sot needs a map expansion, it needs more content and better performance.

Search Function is your friend. Suggestions for an Ice Biome have been done to beyond death.

Instead of a map expansion, why not create a permanent new area that you can travel to? Like a tall tale that takes place in the north seas and includes islands, ice bergs, Frosty the Man-Eater (Meg), and new NPC's as well as more cold weather themed cosmetics!

Literally all of those things can be done withOUT expanding the map.

I'd much rather them alter the Roar to make it an ice zone than make a whole new one. Rotate it every season from volcanos to ice zone...done.

Hard pass on map expansion unless they find a way to give us 7+ ships per server.

Yes, exactly this. It would be a great use for the portals.
