EricTheGreat12 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 So its pretty fair to say that Desolation Point is the least popular map with players here in the forums and my question is: what's the point of going? According to the map of the island (https://www.google.ca/search?q=long+dark+map&espv=2&biw=638&bih=726&tbm=isch&imgil=GhkqWPizsZJ4YM%3A%3B75hG5duv9ueFNM%3Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fsteamcommunity.com%252Fsharedfiles%252Ffiledetails%252F%253Fid%25253D530202531&source=iu&pf=m&fir=GhkqWPizsZJ4YM%3A%2C75hG5duv9ueFNM%2C_&usg=__pKNKYLF3G3doy4wONHjaxXgC8cc%3D&ved=0ahUKEwihuZq6oKzSAhWH24MKHbPiDdcQyjcINQ&ei=Zf-xWOHyDoe3jwSzxbe4DQ#imgrc=GhkqWPizsZJ4YM:) there will later be a map that connects to Desolation Point. But until then, we have to go through Crumbling Highway to get the end. So if we need to go through a wolf infested area in order to reach the destination, which only offers a whaling centre and a lighthouse, what benefits does the player get in exploring this area, if the risks outweigh the benefits?

In terms of the forge, wouldn't it be easier to go to Forlon Muskeg, therefore being closer to Mystery Lake and not having to go through the Crumbling Highway ?

If you are set up in CH, it wouldn't make any sense to go all the way to FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair; but yet again it jumps to the question of whether or not Crumbling Highway is worth it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastal Highway is arguably more preferable to live in than Mystery Lake, and Desolation Point is nearer to CH than Forlorn Muskeg is. Also, DP is probably less hazardous than FM as individual maps. Plus there's the beach-combing in DP, which could be considered an advantage (just about). I actually quite like Desolation Point in and of itself, though. I even quite like Crumbling Highway - and you're nearly as likely to run into wolves at the Tunnel not-Collapse-anymore as you are there anyway.

I'm not bothered by the wolves. They are foolish to ever get in my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahatch Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Desolation Point is a pretty cool map I liked it enough to stay 50 days on one run before setting up in coastal. Just have to watch out at the Whaling factery not to get ambushed but just wish it was a bit bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romerabr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 it easier to find coal on DP than FM, and metal scraps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
