The Official Phase Two City Contest: Amdeneir

[ohforf]

Where would the city be located? Like in Ojaroad or Bdroad area?

Thats a good Question.
I would like a new "Door" in Gugrontid or Ojaveda, leading to the new City (as usual, with a looong Road in between).
Another Door in Hydlaa would be boring, a bit too much "Center of the (known) World".



Also, reduce Pterosaur Travel costs to something like 1/10, to prevent the poor Newbies from getting bored of all that walking.

wel if you go to the outskirts of gugrontid, when you first enter the town, go to the left, and head that way, when you get as far as you can go, [force feild on top of the hill] you should see a path, and a pass, [the canyon mountain thing] i would assume the town fits there

Hey ohforf!

Because Hydlaa is the biggest town, it is quite probable that it will stay the center. I could imagine the "west gate" near the Iron Tower to open...

[Earowo]

I thought that was called, 'Esorono's Perch'

[weltall]

it's on the far left of hydlaa (oja is on the right)

From the Talad Temple it's possible to see the canyon.
The door at the left of the BD road door might lead to Amdeneir as well. Location fits, NW of Hydlaa and W of Gugrontid.

[Roled]

I can't tell you how many times Roled has tried to find a secret way to that obvious portal beyond Gugrontid. He's ridden up against the invisible force field lots of times, thinking "There must be SOMETHING o'er there!"
Can't wait to break through that field with everyone else!

[Earowo]

i've always wonderered as well..

[weltall]

gugrontid is too high toward the bronze doors. the nearest exit is supposed to be the one near the windowless tower, then going down to the level of the hole of the winch but on the left (as you know yliakum is circular). most probably access will be through teleport at the beginning. like with a rivnak, anyway.

weltall:

A picture would explain it all so much easier.

But do you have any "overview of the currently planned world" at all, among the developers? And may it just be a schematic draft.

You may ask me to remove the following as spoiler ... but this is how I imagine the currently known part of the Dome. This is complete guesswork, I have no other sources than in-game and guide/wiki based public descriptions of directions; the relations are possibly wrong anyway (there is a discrepancy between two directions of the same location, seen from two different points).

One thing I am certain about: Jayose's Dome map in the library is not better than mine. Its differences to the currently implemented map structure are obvious.

[MishkaL1138]

Are you serious with that map? OMg if you are… we'll never finish Yliakum, even in 1000 years lol Not even with Blizzard developers.

[confused]

Seeing that Amdeneir will be a fairly large city with a huge surrounding outskirts area containing 3 massive mines, it makes sense that there should be at least 3 wilderness sectors between Hydlaa and Amdeneir. One sector should have a big mountain pass, to give a reason why access was not possible for some time, perhaps and avalanche took place and blocked the road through. Of course use FREE teleportation until the wilderness sectors have been created. Also inserting a few wilderness sectors in between, could bring another bronze gate closer for NPC character rp stories and the like.

[LigH]

I don't know any details about the location of Amdeneir.

But I would enjoy modelling some landscape heightfield maps (I know how they are working).

[weltall]

yes we have a map bd is directly above hydlaa and not above oja (there are other bronze doors in the area)
for amedneir the direction is that but it's more on the left and down (on the level of the hole). probably at the beginning yet it will look like the map above for it. there is supposed to be also a big forest between hydlaa and amedneir.
our scaling for the hole is more little and the space from the walls to the hole is bigger

[Dracaeon]

I always imagined the road to BD as being straight north, no curves and fancy stuff.

BTW, whats this I keep hearing about Pterosaurs, and where the heck are they?
