Does this playe really exist?
« on: July 27, 2005, 09:06:22 am »
I saw this place in the Flash movie at the Planeshift site:

It does not exist yet - the image is merely one of the concept renders that will probably be realized in-game some time in the distant future.

IMO, this thing looks out of place for PS. It looks like a very futuristic research facility, like one you would find at the inside of volcanoes or submarine rifts. At best, it would be part of a wind power generator at the side of a canyon or mountain like in HalfLife.

I do like it, but it doesn\'t seem to fit in PS, except very maybe as base of some uber villain, but then again, that would be so clich?. :)

While the Xacha might do this sort of architecture, the Laanx temple looks too different from it. I think the history doesn\'t mention any other race that would be capable of building things that big, thus this place could be designed only by Xacha, which would mean that their architecture would heavily influence it, unless someone had it designed specifically differently, which also means that the person would have to be very rich and  / or powerful (no less than Octarch or leader of a very rich guild), and also that there would be some sort of architectural/racial background for this person\'s ideas.

Ah don\'t be silly. That\'s just the Winch. :) If you want to learn exactly what it is, I talk about it in my story; though, I describe it very differently there. Since it\'s yet to be created in the game, I think the architecture is open to artistic interpretation.

Erm I aint sure but wasn\'t the laanx temple created by laanx to detract from talad or something (I remember reading something like this in the History/Background part, but as I said I aint sure) and wasnt made by Xacha.

btw. Eiffel do you speek german (because of the filename, ...)

From the history section
Galeran led the Xacha to Yliakum and there, they settled on the first level and began immediately to use their ancient knowledge to built an iron temple consecrated to Laanx.

You have probably looked it up by now, but here it is anyway

I\'m afraid I have to go with the \"evil genius\" theory of it\'s design.
Clearly, this is the work of the great mastermind, Auran, who has disguised himself and joined the dev team.  ;)

I\'m sure they\'ll come up with something that doesn\'t look like I thought it up when it comes time to actually implement it.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM
