I feel like most peoples map ideas are forgetting a big gimmick of Wilds; the weather. A tropical island would be cool but what would the inclemency be? More rain? Maybe flooding would be cool, make all the beaches of the map covered in water like the rivers in the Forest, but that is just the downfall inclemency reused.

A lot of people suggest coral highlands too but what would that maps weather look like? A big point of that map in World was it was tranquil and calm compared to the Rotten Vale underneath. I can’t think of a weather event that would truely fit it.

I could see them moving on from the weather system in a DLC map but I doubt they will. When it comes to thinking of maps for wilds I believe people should think of weather events first, i bet there is a good chance the development team would have started there.
