Feldon From EverQuest2.com:
Get a first glimpse of the next EverQuest II Game Update – Skyshrine. Our talented Senior Artist, Tad Ehrlich, takes you through the Skyshrine courtyard giving a taste of this exciting new content coming this April.
The Destiny of Velious saga continues as adventurers breach the barriers of the Withered Lands seeking entrance to Skyshrine, the glorious ancient dragon city! The great citadel of Skyshrine has long housed the group of dragons known as the Claws of Veeshan behind its massive walls and arcane protections. Now, the unthinkable has happened — it has become besieged by powerful forces. Aid the armies of Norrath in reaching Skyshrine, explore the intrigues of dragon kind, and save their embattled city!
Check it out today!
Looks pretty stupid for Skyshrine, I recall that place being ornate and gorgeous (they are dragons after all). Why are there rocks and falling light posts all over the ground? Makes for traveling (autofollow) a nightmare. The dragons can’t keep their city clean? Are there going to be dragons (mobs) or soemthing in the city? Cause fighting in that tangle of mess seems retarded.
Doesn’t look good so far…
Hwere is my uber runspeed?
— Well I guess that’s why the city is in rambles (though I dont care for orange and browns). Stilly looks silly to navigate. I despise jumping to get over a bench or up a ledge (Kael)
While it looks pretty, I’m a bit concerned there’ll be a lagfest.
I thought it looked good — he did say all the wreckage was from the drama of the invasion (it’s an embattled city, they can’t really clean up). I am a terrible jumper, myself, but I can understand how they would want to make it a little more interesting by putting obstacles in the way.
I like the idea of fighting in a different environment than just a big, empty room. Maybe I won’t like it later, but I am sure if they did take out all the obstacles people would complain it was boring!
At least it’s not a confusing maze … I can’t stand those. Looks like obstacles, not a pattern to navigate.
I have been testing Skyshrine and I will warn you, you are not walking around any of the city without a fight. The actual city is more or less a contested dungeon, than an actual city.
So, sort of like Maj’Dul then?
Faction grinds, here we come…bah.
Lol, a lot more violent. There is a mender in the center area that you can gain enough faction to use but other than that, it’s not a city. Everything in the 3 districts are agro and mean.
So, like Detroit then.
Haha exactly =D
Escape from New York! … with the help of Snake Plishkin.
Feldon — Kwill may have a graphic notion there for ya. heh
I hate orange/red/brown zones 🙁 hurts my eyes if I am in them to long plus the colors are so boring… bah and I dont like to play mario bros either.. so hope its not to bad cuz lately I am so bored I dont even log on except to raid.
