I am currently in the process of making a map of the location of all of the chests on each map. Some people will probably have a range of opinions on this, varying from, "Ooh, that's awesome," or, "Ooh, that's a great idea," all the way to, "Pffft, that's just ridiculous."

Now, I'm more than happy to release the maps so that everyone can see them - the question is, should I? That's the purpose of this topic; to decide if people are against lots of people having something like this. I see two types of response to this: the not-so-good players, who want something like this badly to give them a chance, and the good players, who worry that the bad players will be in with a fighting chance if they have the map (no pun intended).

Also, to those of you who might say, "But why don't you just memorise the chests? It's not that hard": do YOU know off-by-heart the 100+ chest locations on map 1?

So, over to you: would you like to see the chest location maps released, or do you think they should be kept private?

Edit / Additional Information: bear in mine that the map wouldn't contain any information about the chests. While it would pinpoint each chest exactly on the map, a lot of them are underground and in hard to find/reach places, which would mean people would still have to find out how to get to them.

FINAL UPDATE: I will not be releasing any location maps. Thank you everybody for your input, and may the odds be ever in your favour~

i say keep it private as many people spend times learning chest routes and their effort should be payed off. However I would maybe like to see a list of all the T1 chests posted out so that newer players can at least get some basic supplies so they have at least a way to defend themselves.
So my answer is this
Release a map with just T1 chests shown

Having been a noob on all the maps 'cept Survival Games 2, I would be against releasing such a map, as I had to play a lot and die a lot to learn the best way to play maps. However, as kezzer1995 said before, a map of chests with basic necessities might not be such a bad idea.
That's my two cents.

Yes. Of course people will feel frustrated about their hours of work going to waste, but the whole point of this (sub-)forum is that people discuss and exchange information to help each other get better at the game.

I think you should. I mean, they won't be able to use all of those chests anyway. They'll just have to squeeze it down to a dozen or so chests in a route and their back up plans, which they would get eventually. Plus I think we could all learn of a chest or two to incoorporate into our routes. I say yes

I've created myself two graphical maps with locations of tier 1 and tier 2 chests for map 2 and 3, I was going to release them but I thought it would be more fair if people learned and studied the maps themselves.

i could show you a map of all the chests on breeze if you want ;)
Hmm, I wonder why you might have that :rolleyes:

Update: After taking into account everything everyone has said, I have decided to not release any maps. And actually, having chest-runs derived from memory is actually quite fun, more fun than looking at a map. Thank you everyone for your input.
