Anyone Twitter users not following @DaveGeorgeson should do so. People tweet him pics of their creations, which obviously he retweets, and it's a constant stream of really interesting stuff and the odd real stunner.

HughGRect posted:Maybe they will introduce some sort of passive crafting stations where you feed it ore before you log out, and when you log back in you have a bunch of processed materials. This seems logical in the absence of being able to build/use a wall of refining stations (ovens) like in Minecraft where you can parallel the process well.

Those keys are each only good for 7 days. Why would they be $50 on ebay when permanent beta + digital items itself is $20 direct from sony  . No one pay for these.

Christopher posted:I'm going to go ahead an grab a Trailblazer pack. It includes 4 beta keys. I was intending on putting them on eBay but I figure I could first give goons a chance to grab them for $17.50 a piece (seen them go for up to $50 on eBay). If you buy one I prefer that you actually use it rather than sell it but I suppose you can do with it what you wish. Inbox me if you're interested. The first 4 people to inbox me have dibs. So you can be a piece a poo poo but prefer that they aren't.

I am starting to feel the pain of not having enough claim space. The estate of Unrest is not one that will fit easy into one claim alone. I easily need at least 2-3 to build the mansion alone.

So, I started adding on a secret cavern below my castle. Lets see where it leads.  Hmm, this seems familiar  Yes, yes I definitely think I've been here before...  Oh! Well hello there old friend!  How are you doing?  Its good to see you again!  I logged into that project 1999 server just to take accurate measurements of befallen, and had it laid out perfectly, however after plotting it all in mspaint It was going to be beyond the bounds of my claim. Like Al Borland just said, REALLY feeling the cramped claim area. So I had to cut the floorspace exactly in half, but this then hosed up the height, since I couldn't cut that exactly in half it ended up very stretched vertically. Still, I'm reasonably happy with how its come out so far, even if I Still have a lot of details and other rooms to add. (as much as I can fit that is... its probably ready to pop out the side of my mountain as it is.

Al Borland posted:I am starting to feel the pain of not having enough claim space. Yeah, at this point I'm holding off until they let us extend claim space. Right now there just isn't enough room to build anything interesting. I know it's on the roadmap for this segment of alpha so hopefully it'll be implemented soon. Maybe after the rental system goes in so that we don't end up with a ton of giant empty claims making GBS threads everything up.

Al Borland posted:The second I saw the first picture and the walls I knew what you were making. I'm a bit jealous it looks good, but you and I share the same awful fate, not enough space. Thanks, it was seeing you making unrest that made me want to make something from eq, and befallen was the smallest memorable thing I could think of. I'm on liberation, crest, 1743.74, 1688.50, -1437.13 if anyone wants to stop on by, and I would love any help with making some of the stuff. I couldn't think of how to make the heads on pikes with the limitations so far, let alone the glowing eye skulls for the back wall. I started working on it more last night and amazingly I can *almost* fit the entire first level of befallen (at my half sized scale) in so far. This is doubly impressive to me as my biggest problem is my claim is on the top of a mountain peak, so my underground space is artificially limited by a lot compared to my plot size. I really think if i had a whole underground plot to work with I could make the complete befallen, all 3 levels at half scale. That would have been cool. If plot sizes can be increased enough, or join up with others plots, I would love to do a full sized version of this, or something in the final game. If there was enough control, and stuff over plots and land, it would be amazing to see a whole section of the final game world as a giant collaborative remaking of the eq1 geography. Hah. EDIT: Also, anyone that does come by should check out my neighbor to the southeast, his place is really really cool.

I don't have anywhere near the talent I see in these constructions. This is the best I've mustered so far: Not sure if I want to fill out the rest of my claim with different styles of skyscrapers or build something like a multi-storey car park.

Hmm. Apparently I suck really bad because my claim is just a flat pad with some crafting stations, a chair and lamp. When your claim is near the top of some convex structure, and I want to make the whole top flat, I seem to get jagged edges where the slope comes up and then there is a vertical drop to my pad. How do I smooth out the transition? None of the tools (including the smoothing tool) seem to want to do what I want done.

Huttan posted:Hmm. Apparently I suck really bad because my claim is just a flat pad with some crafting stations, a chair and lamp. Unclear exactly what you're asking without a picture, but you can either use the heal tool or manually construct a slope between your flat surface and the 'cliff edge', then use the smooth tool to smooth it and make it look more natural. If you're talking about a sub 1 voxel jagged edge, then you should be able to just delete sideways to flatten it out, provided it's not at the very edge of your claim.

Multiple wipes have already happened, I'd expect a fair few more. You get all resources back and your claim templated for easy redeployment. All the same, I'd save convenience templates of pieces for copy + paste. You will likely be rebuilding on fresh ground so simply overlaying your old claim will probably cause issues. I might level the ground on my new claim actually, just make a completely flat surface so I don't need to height adjust my buildings when I paste them in.

It's poorly worded. quote:Timing: Occurs at the end of Alpha testing, which begins on or before 2-28-14 Alpha begins on or before the 28th of Feb (quite a bit before, it turns out). The wipe happens at the end of Alpha, which will be some time before March 31st.

From what I know, Dave has said that they are announcing the first build competition this week(my guess is during live stream). So I don't really see a wipe till that is over so people can have resources ready to go and half the competition doesn't become grind for mats to make something cooler. Also, they have strongly suggested the next wipe will be when cave systems come in, so I can't wait for the next wipe actually.

Stay in touch with me. I'm going to be buying a lot of land when the game goes live. If we buffer our claims out right we can get some prime area and make a bunch of dungeons from old EQ and other neat things. IDK how station cash will tie into the game but I've got about 200 dollars (if they ever have a frigging double cash day again.) Just waiting to be pumped into the game. E: I plan on making Guk, Qeynos, Freeport, Befallen (now), BlackBurrow, Butcherblock Chessboard, and a bunch of other things. I'm sure we'll attract a lot of people to it.

I haven't been in-game much lately due to a bunch of other stuff(Marvel Heroes, Loadout, and work) taking up my time buuuuut waiting until after the wipe to do more work on Frog Tower seems like it'll probably be the way to go, even if my progress so far has been kind of small. Any word on new stuff coming with the wipe other than caverns? Glass maybe? Oceans? I know water itself is a ways off, but it would be nice to get the ocean in-game at least.

Noah posted:Is there anyway to terraform your plot in regards to adding trees, water, or grass? You can duplicate things like trees, plants and rocks that are already on your plot. Just right click on them and choose the duplicate option. You can't add naturally occuring props any other way, so you're out of luck if there weren't already some on your plot to begin with. The textures for things like grass, dirt and natural stone were recently added as textures under the dirt option. You can use the paint or fill tool to retexture the ground in your plot. You can also hold down Alt to change your cursor into a material picker. Water isn't currently implemented and won't be for a while. Some people use one of the blue minerals to imitate the look of water however.

I would love to make neriak (well, really I'd like to remake the whole old world, but landscaping on that scale will surely be impossible.), but I'm kinda stuck on if I'd rather in the final game do remakes of these areas modernized, or like what I was doing with befallen and slavishly hold to the same structure and dimension and textures. ...Which is one of the easy things about most old world everquest locations, they are pretty much grid like in structure, simple and easy to copy as long as you have a frame of reference (the floor tiles in befallen were my reference, count the tiles and you know the size of any location in it, though I suppose with much less work and a frame of reference you could just use the eq atlas maps).
