pretty

  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'   

[Delsabor Nash]

Wow, pretty indeed. I was told about the pond and rain but i had to see it. Im very anxious for this.

[Gondric]

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

[ThomPhoenix]

The latter of course, everybody likes trees..

What?

[Cerala]

I  can't wait for this, great way to start the summer!

[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

[Laith]

they have weather and lakes and water in this game?!?!?!?!

[Waylander]

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

[DaveG]

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.

[Mordaan]

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 

Rivers n Lakes - proper ones!! *dies*

 
Those shots are so beautiful. EVEN BIGGER WILDERNESS ROAD? - and by the look of it, more prettier. uuhhhhhhhh someone kick me!

I am ecstatic.

[Malfini]

Will we be able to see Ylian's sitting down now?

[Karyuu]

Why don't you wait and find out

[Monk_]

Hold it right there. "Skins" it was said. Was that shorthand for skins, animations, maybe even models?

[Karyuu]

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.
