Map Size...the long walk

After seeing a vids and questions about how big is the actual map and how long it will take to cross it? Here is a vid with a toon running across the Just Cause 3 map. Total time is just under 3 hours. A toon walking across the map took almost 8 hours. This map us just under a 100 sq kilometers less than Verra.
Verra is going to be massive! I cant wait!

3 hours, eh? Takes me nicely to the end of the "working" day! Nice one!

And 8 hours for tomorrow! You spoil me!!!

Well hopefully there won't be teleports to mess that

Fuck long walks no one have time for that

Tragnar

travel time and distance are supposed to matter in this game, you don't need to take unnecesary foot walks instead upgrade your mount to travel the world faster and be smart of picking your farm spots

@Tragnar yeah, was only pointing out to the people saying the world isn't going to be big enough. This world will be more than big enough and to spare, considering the Underealm is a little over 100 sq km as well.

I know it took me a while to understand this but Ehrgeiz is right though. But another point is you don't necessarily have to go to other parts of the map. Sure there is going to be other dungeons and raids in other areas but as far as leveling goes you don't have to travel to other areas for higher areas. Steven has already said as the the nodes level up they will continue to grow in difficulty as the node progresses. Not to mention as well with the caravan system you can essentially trade for materials that don't spawn in your area. Once you get tired of your area then you can move and the amount of depth that brings into the game will keep you playing for ages. Definitely looking forward to the bigger map.

Haha, I'd happily have that on repeat during an 8 hour walk across Verra.

Skyrim Top left and GTA 5 bottom left.

Unsure if this is accurate, just something I found and saved to put into my guilds discord.

As fascinating as that all is, keep in mind that just knowing the size of the world in KMs doesn't help us gain a good sense of the size of the world. For that we also need the scale of the world (since hardly any game uses a 1:1 ratio) and the movement speed of your character.

Hmm when Steven talks about 480km² it always seems to be in a game play context, not a lore context...so I always figured it was a 1:1 ratio.

Paradoxically

Seems small I want to die irl b4 I can walk around an island. Lmao

There's no way we have 9 Skyrims in map size, plus underrealm and water content. I mean I would be happy if it is.

Pretty sure the 480 figure includes ocean, since we'll be having some decent naval content, so don't just look at the landmass size.

I'm looking forward to a game with little fast travel and flying. Verra will feel even bigger that way!

I can't remember the name, but there was a game that I played many years ago where the main method of speeding up travel times was via deployable gliders that had a cooldown, and so often times the fastest way to get somewhere was not to go directly there, but to first scale a mountain or other tall terrain and then glide down. I'm curious if gliding mounts in AoC will work similarly where it can be faster to take an indirect route up a mountain instead of just running straight to your destination.
