Hi ToastedKebab,
Your idea of having a real-time map in the game sounds interesting and could offer some great benefits, like avoiding traffic, finding convoys, or meeting up with friends easily.
However, there are a few points to consider:
1. Distraction while driving:
Using a live map during gameplay could easily distract players and increase the risk of accidents. Limiting access to the map while stationary might help address this concern.
2. Performance issues:
Displaying 3000–5000 active players on a live map could be demanding on system resources, potentially leading to crashes. It would be essential to ensure the feature is optimized to run smoothly.
3. Usage while stationary:
If the map can only be accessed while stationary, players could just use the browser-based live map instead. This raises the question of whether implementing the feature directly in-game is worth the effort.
The idea has potential, but there are some challenges that would need to be addressed.
Still, +1 from me.
