Not bad, not bad :)
I wonder if that's really a small lake, or it's because of the rain.
Pretty cool anyway! :woot:
-
i dunno, but having an actual lake/river/beach out there would be really cool... without the "you drowned and died" msg. ;D
zhai
-
Wow, I really wonder what the game'll turn out like now. =D
This is the first time in a game where I've seen puddles caused by rain, normally the rain just disappears right when it hits the ground. =P
-
They aren't caused by rain ;) It's a small pond :P
-
So...fishing? =P
-
:woot: Ohhhhhh, yes DaveG .... very pretty!
-
I just thought it should be raining for the shot... :P
-
Very nice!! :thumbup:
Personally, I haven't experienced rain since MB!
Will weather work on its own this time? Or is it still GM/dev generated only?
-
OMG! OMG! Save the trepors! They'll drown there!
All jokes aside, OMG! Water :D Nice!
PS: I have to learn to speek in sentences.
-
Wow, you actually recognized the location. ;)
Yes, it's just the new oja road map. (though, with a different name) The new map of that name is on the other side of Hydlaa due to Akkaio's moving.
-
Is Akkaio on the move then?
-
Water! Oooh, how I've been waiting for this! Please tell me there is swimming... working swimming, I mean... and diving!
-
Nope... Just pretty. :D
-
mmmm pretty...
-
Yay! Now I don't have to take a bath in the plaza anymore!
-
Nope... Just pretty. :D
Aww. Oh well, walking through will have to do, then. :)
-
Water! Oooh, how I've been waiting for this! Please tell me there is swimming... working swimming, I mean... and diving!
You can dive but perhaps only your head will be submerged. :P
It doesn't look that deep.
-
I've been doing a little preping for this..
/me warms up his guils for a swim in the lake.
Love it! :love:
-
You can dive but perhaps only your head will be submerged. :P
It doesn't look that deep.
Maybe, but I know where a shovel happens to lie, and I'll dig it deeper with that! Failing that, I can /die there, and thus be fully submerged for 30 seconds. :)
-
Wow, you actually recognized the location. ;)
Yes, it's just the new oja road map. (though, with a different name) The new map of that name is on the other side of Hydlaa due to Akkaio's moving.
if by "new maps" you meant just rearranging them.. im going to shake my fist at you.. for a long time..
not really, thats almost more exciting than new maps
-
No, not "just" :)
-
Sounds more like they made a new map, put that on the other side of Hydlaa, and connected Ojaveda to it, and thusly named that ojaroad. Hence, the old ojaroad map was renamed (but kept in place), and has also been modified to include a small shallow lake.
-
not really, thats almost more exciting than new maps
No it isn't ^_^
More exciting than new maps are new maps with podles on them. :D
And paragliding... but that doesn't count.
-
One small pond for Oja, one giant leap for Planeshift :P
Very pretty DaveG
-
If the maps are moving does that mean the last place I was wont be the place i start in? I cant remember where that was because i havent had internet access and i have not been able to get on the game. i walked up to my computer "ahh yes planeshift again!" and i come back to another week at least by the looks of it of no planeshift!
-
Player positions will probably be reset, or moved.
-
yay water \œ/ peacer will be happy but sad that it isn't deeper
-
I hope i appear "knee deep" in that pond.
(can you hear the frog ?) :p
-
Wow, that is ..... Awsome .... Amazing ...... :o ....... Oh No ..... anyone want a flower? :flowers: . :-\ A pond sounds great and all but what if Bradd or Winry can't swim?
-
We want more!
we want more!
we want more!
*Proglin ends the most useless post of his life.. most likely.*
-
wow, I wonder what other suprizes are in store for us.
-
wow, I wonder what other suprizes are in store for us.
/me wonders will they tell us................................................................... hope they do
-
I hope something similar will go in a certain underground area...... The mine is getting smelly..... ;D
-
Msrmalik gets excited to the thought of not buying a water pouch every time she works up a thirst from slaying vile beast
-
Are there any plans to add things to the pond in the future, such as fish, lily pads, or possibly reeds?
-
I hope something similar will go in a certain underground area...... The mine is getting smelly..... ;D
That odiforous emanation is coming from Zak :o ...we have tried leaving pleasant smelling things at his feet, but so far...NO LUCK!
-

Well if they can clear up Zak's "little problem" perhaps I shall start venturing into the mines again...
...exploring we go to find a pond big enough for a pool party!! \\o//
-
it states that Krylos can breath underwater, yet someone near the top was wondering about working swimming. Does that mean (given that there is no gliding as i understand it) that there is absolutly no reason to pick a Krylos?
And that shot kicks butt!! Keep them coming!
-
You pick whatever race you like the look and feel of best. All races will have special abilities and cool traits in the future, but you should always pick a character that you just feel most comfortable roleplaying with.
-
As in pick the Ynnwn, we have horns...
Oh and great pic! Can't wait to go skinny dipping in that one.
-
So it's a matter of aesthetic appeal then? Do the stats matter either (ie a diablo vs krylos, same level, same skill, same weapon = same damage?)? Thanks a bunch!
-
The races have their own individual beginning stats, but you can train any character to anything - one doesn't learn slower or faster than another.
-
Still waiting to create my first char, so I must ask, is that photo generally what planeshift looks like? Or is that leaps and bound above the current graphics?
-
The actual release will look even better. There are still modifications to make before it's out.
Have you seen the screenshot section (http://www.planeshift.it/pics.html) on the main website? :)
-
what you see is what you get. that is exactly the way it is :)
* Laragorn looks up and hits the button any ways
-
^^ Yeah i saw it, but with the constant revisions, and most screen shots being FMV's not actually gameplay....
And it'll look better than that, and it's FREE??? sweet mother of god what a deal!
-
beutifull render of (is it ojaveda farm zone?) very nice :D
-
:D The pond picture looks very nice. Out of curiosity though can Ylians (the race I am) visually sit now or is that something that will be added in the future?
-
Do I forsee Yliakian pool parties in the future?
*Kae'lith goes to get her rubber ducky

OMG that is awesome is that on the oja road map?
what happenes when u walk in that stream swin/die walk on river bed?
cant w8 till it comes out
-
Water is just for show at this point. We don't yet have any real change when entering it, so you just wade through. In the case of deep water, you just walk on the bottom. ;)
The first shot was on the redesigned oja road map (now not the road to Akkaio anymore, however). This shot is on the new road to Akkaio.
-
Ok, those 2 screens show a slightly new map. But please say this is not the only stuff you meant with new map. It's the same as before. Same graphics, only different heightmapp and the water was ther before, too(remember the lake in north-west). I was really happy about new map, but as I saw the screens.. Okay it's slightly different, better than notheing and I don't want to blame, but won't there be real different parts in the new map or jsut the old a little bit more huge? That's my question
-

ALL screenshots in the main website mentioned section are from actually gameplay... and YES, it is the greatest deal you can find for free!
-
lol i cnat w8 to find deep water and walk on the bottom can i die if i stay under?
-
Ah, fine DaveG. So this is modified road to Akkaio, modified old outdoor, and not the new outdoor map, pew. Can't wait to see the new one ^^

There was no lake... Only water we had was in the sewers. (the blue voids in certain areas are places lacking map peices, and not water)
Yes, there is a lot more than what I'm showing you in these 2 shots. ;)
No, I'm not going to tell you what. :)
lol i cnat w8 to find deep water and walk on the bottom can i die if i stay under?
No, as I already said, they're just for show at the moment.
-
cool im gonna be a underwater breathing fish dwarf thing.
-
Most of the water in the new maps isn't that deep. There is at least one pond that is, however.
-
oh okay. just wonderin when ur underwater does everything turn blue or sum other colour? or is it just normal with a blue surface above you (the river top)
-
When you're deep underwater you can't actually tell...... ::)
Like I said, just for show. :P
-
I meant the unfinished terrain in the north-west (where the hill over Hydlaa was). There was a lake, wasn't it?
Okay, now I understand. Have to wait a little bit longer then for a real new map with new stuff(klyrosmap or so).
-
By the way, I thought it was obvious but I guess it's not. Here, I'll put the pieces together for you so you'll stop asking me:
1) Redesigned oja road map, in the same place as before, but no longer the road to Akkaio.
2) New oja road map, on the way to Akkaio in its new position.
3) Guess what, there's 2 roads going to different places... one of which is Akkiao, the other is....... <insert conspiracy theories here>
-
2) okay, then there is maybe something more positive - shorter way to akkiao ^^
3) wohoo. Heard about Lemurcity.. would be great, also if it is something else but new!
Thank you for a the little spoiler!
-
Shorter?... god no
(By the way, I won't tell you what the new area is yet, so don't ask.)
-
Haven't asked, just considered. Not shorter, even longer? This is discrimination of the Enkis! :woot:Before they laught about them becuase they had such a long way. Discrimination! lol :D
-
3) Guess what, there's 2 roads going to different places... one of which is Akkiao, the other is....... <insert conspiracy theories here>
If Ojaveda is East and the map at Jayose is accurate but just draw with East as the top reference point, then North, where the ex-ojapath led, should be the Emerald Lake and some Ylian village.
Edit: I'm talking about this map: http://ugo.sinet.it/protectors/uploads/Main/mapj.jpg
-
Huh? ::|
-
...It's probably going to my sex party masion.
If this is true then...well...you know where to find Karyuu (don't kill me Xordan) and Zorbels (Don't kill me Satayne) and Aelya (Don't kill me...umm...Aelya)
:P
-
/me looks at the army running towards Waylander.
You are_sooooo_dead :P
-
Nah, I may annoy Karyuu, Zorbels and Aelya, but they all love me...
Xordan loves me too, but that's a private thing and only on sundays.... O.o
And Satayne is my home boy, he wouldn't hurt my unless....umm...he wanted to :D
-
... lol
i am having no trouble walking underwater in the sewers ;)
-
i am having no trouble walking underwater in the sewers ;)
I was just going to say...if you want to know the feeling of walking underwater, you just need to go to one of the 'flooded' rooms in the sewers. You can tell you are under water somewhat but no change in density or movement, that's a little beyond this stage of development.
As for the new road(s) to Ojaveda, my guess would be (and this is just speculation, I hope its not too inappropriate if it turns out to be accurate) the new area would be simply another dsar in Ojaveda. So 'road to Ojaveda' would still be an accurate description, they would both go there, just one to Akkaio and the other to the new dsar. Whatever it is, sounds very cool, can't wait to run around and explore.
Mordaan slaps himself and tries not speculate any further
-
/me goes MOO!!!
That is, um... pretty indeed, DaveG!
-
:surrender: This isn't a spoiler, because I only know what I have read in these forums, and a conversation with one of the NPC's - note there are a number of NPC's who speakof other places, this one happens to mention a lake:
You see a male Ylian in front of you named Taulim Wilaal
One of Hydlaa's military guards, he patrols his route with a keen eye
Who are you?
I'm called Taulim Wilaal, friend. I recently moved to Hydlaa from my small village near the Emerald Lake called Homestead. Lots of farmers out that way; very rural.
about homestead
Homestead is a small farming village just north of Hydlaa's western sections. A road leads from it to the mines in the north, against the wall. It passes by the Emerald Lake.
about emerald lake
The lake is called Emerald due to the color of its waters. There's supposed to be some island or whatever in the middle, but I've not been near enough to tell. It's just south of the mines, and a bit west.
...but it's something to think about - i doubt that the town name of 'Homestead' will stick, though - it just doesn't sound very 'Yliakumish' ::|
-
Wow, pretty indeed. I was told about the pond and rain but i had to see it. Im very anxious for this.
-
im thinking that at the end of the old oja road map there will be either a new races city or a big blue void wit ha tree floting in the middle ;D
-
The latter of course, everybody likes trees..
What?
-
I can't wait for this, great way to start the summer! \\o//
[Offtopic] I don't know if there really is going to be a homestead in PS, but I know in the real world there is a Homestead (no clue if thats what it could be named after http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead%2C_Pennsylvania#History )
-
cool, is weather goin to work on macs after this update because i have never seen the rain
-
they have weather and lakes and water in this game?!?!?!?! ???
-
They have weather
They are putting in lakes and water for visual reasons only. You won't be able to do much with it, but it is the first step.
And I got through that without any of my three lovely ladies getting mad at me :D
-
Welcome to the obvious. Yes, we have weather and lakes and water in this game.
Mac lacked weather because for some reason the rain stuff wasn't included in the package, which should be resolved now.
-
There was a rather large river just to the east of Hydlaa there for awhile, but somewhere along the line it drained and became a void. Must have been a frozen river though because you just could just stand on top of it.
And I have the pc version and I haven't seen rain since MB. :( I guess I just haven't been on when devs/GMs test it.
-
OW MAN :woot:
Rivers n Lakes - proper ones!! *dies* :o
\\o//
Those shots are so beautiful. EVEN BIGGER WILDERNESS ROAD? - and by the look of it, more prettier. uuhhhhhhhh someone kick me! :ban:
I am ecstatic.
-
Will we be able to see Ylian's sitting down now?
-
Why don't you wait and find out :)
-
Hold it right there. "Skins" it was said. Was that shorthand for skins, animations, maybe even models?
-
Skins means skins. My post was simply to state that asking questions of what will be in the update is never preferred to just waiting to see if those questions will be answered in-game. We can disappoint or reward expectations, but I'd much rather people just hold their questions until they are able to see for themselves.
-

??? I don't understand how could something be "never preferred"? Not everyone prefers or doesn't prefer the same things. That's what the words prefer and preference are all about. ;)
-
The -dev team- never prefers that people ask questions about updates on the forum, but instead wait to see what the updates contain for themselves. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
-
Malfini hasn't slept since he was born. Sometimes he tries to sit but his legs won't bend. But if that was true then why doesn't he teeter totter around? I wish he could that would be good for roleplay :D . '/teetermode on'
-
back to the rain question, I remember the rain being turned on not that long ago, and there was fog in the forest and near Levrus's shop. I have a few screenshots of the fog, and I think a friend of mine took some of the rain.
-
Rain and fog -are- functional, and should continue to be so for all clients :)

Yaaay! You've made me very happy - Can't wait to see weather again!

Please take the time to read.
The thread is closed because of redundant posts. But you can still read everything :)
-
oh i read it and didnt find out(do they say it) by the thread being closed i was going to post it there
-
There was a rather large river just to the east of Hydlaa there for awhile, but somewhere along the line it drained and became a void. Must have been a frozen river though because you just could just stand on top of it.
It wasn't a river... it was just a blue void with a floor...
-
It wasn't a river... it was just a blue void with a floor...
I see. I liked my frozen river idea better. :P
-
I hope something similar will go in a certain underground area...... The mine is getting smelly..... ;D
That odiforous emanation is coming from Zak :o ...we have tried leaving pleasant smelling things at his feet, but so far...NO LUCK!
Marra nods and gets a disgusted look when thinking of all of their attempts to improve Zak's toxic body odour "A pond or underground waterfall would be perfect, we could just throw him in!"

Hey you guys we dont have to imagine these things anymore! THE NEW CLIENT IS HERE!!!

So I go to log in, and wow, look at that, my fur changed color. (I play a fenki) So I go to create a new character to see what other options there my be. And all I have to say is :thumbup:
It'll be a little whie before I get used to the new look, but I like a change every now and then. Great work all!
