Tarrant now you gotta name me spell checker :)

Which would be completely ironic since I can't spell to save my life.

Yeah it's kind of hard to see it in that shot, so here's a screenshot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZHpGYFPls)of the demons up close

Nice Tolero I'll admit you got me. Happy April first!

Seriously...you are succeeding way too easily with regard to duping us silly. ARGH!!



BTW, did you hear the story about the broken pencil?


No?



Ehhh...don't worry about it. There's no point.

[Baahb3]

Looks like the demons have their own evil version of a Mr. Wiggles sprinkler.:D

Here I was all excited... and then BAM... :D

Why are we only getting shown concept art for mod 9 content? Is it really that far away?

[The_Phenx]

Number Cruncher or....

Editor In Chief?

:p

Nah they are handing us cookies... Id imagine we will see it live before the month is out. Check out Tolero's signature for proof.

ROFL! Co-Co Pelles FTW *spelling? lol*

Well these outdoor landscapes are starting to resemble mod 8. 4 small outdoor areas: archon, demon, devil, and yugoloths with one dungeon in each one which leads to raid flagging. All I can say is I hope not. It would be cool if each adventure area was the size of half the vale and had 3 dungeons and there was a raid after flagging was done. Now that would be cool...

[CSFurious]

while i appreciate the coolness factor of these content previews

it is now time to publish the new Mod

[Return_To_Forever]

I was thinking it would be something like, 2-3 sidequests next to the main pre-req in that area, maybe thats just high hopes tho.

[Accelerando]

I am so sketched out by these threads, knowing in our business what stage concept art comes in is not confidence building in terms of when mod 9 is coming.

the concept art for this was completed last fall, as Kate was discussing seeing it at GenCon

[Tolero]

Waaaaait a second... does this mean if I posted concept art of the Menechtarun that it never happened, creating a rift in the space time continuum like when you travel back in time and see yourself and then the universe implodes...unless you're on an unknown island in the middle of the pacific somewhere with a big guy and a smoke monster? oO *twlight zone music*

[CSFurious]

while I will be watching Lost tonight instead of playing DDO, the desert has been out for almost 3 years so its concept art is of no consequence

what is of consequence is the new mod and when it is going to come out, and, therefore, what matters is whether the concept art has been programmed yet & when same will be released live to the servers

What's Tolero up to at the moment:
All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All Release Notes and no play makes Tolero a dull girl. All...


All work and no play makes Homer something something....

*WHACK WHACK WHACK* Back to the release notes. You're holding up Mod 9. Though get them right, because if even one of those notes is wrong... Mod 9 may will adapt itself to the wrongness. Some rogues may tell you to get Cheat Death wrong... but don't listen to them... Cheat Death is definitely something about 25% fortitude penetration and extra sneak attack dice.

Menechtarun does not exist. Only ADQ so that DQ can be run exists. And bloodstones and greaves and possibly Zuul.

Zuul (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/) was a demon in this concept art piece right?

You really need num nums and a nap. Pssst Nyquil is not a num num ;)

[Tolero]

Alright so I think I've found some fun stuff and I'll bring you 3 things tomorrow morning (excluding the wallpaper for the Demons) :)

[Aesop]

And there was much rejoicing


ps: one of them wouldn't happento be release notes would they :D

What about our tidbit for winning this last round at the Escapist?

(doesn't hurt to try and get extras...)

That's what I meant, the 3 things I was bringing I originally would not be bringing had you guys not carried the banner across the finish line :D

[Spisey]

See! And THIS is why Turbine is going to finish #1. We wait with anxious anticipation for ANY tidbit of info that we can get. :D

[Deuce]

Good enough! But remember - this one's against Ninetendo, not to mention the Escapist people who will be voting against Turbine just to see us fail, so its gonna be a rough one. Make 'em really good, juicy tidbits to fire up the troops!

[mrtreats]

anyone else not able to open the art page

Yes, the websites are currently unavailable. Soon as the web/authentication issues are cleared up you should be able to see it again

Of course not... yet at the same time concept art is pre-production, not confidence inspiring when most of your community expected this mod weeks ago. I for one would MUCH rather see screenshots, or maybe a video. :D

[Wertik]

OH MY GOD, I've been calling her a dude for three years... I'm so sorry.

It's ok... I went with a very gender neutral name. That and not as many people expect a girl to play D&D :D

This wild reporter has actually been given a sneak peak at Mod 9... after sneaking around the plane of shavaroth I kept tabs on it, and found the great work of evil being planned by the demons of shavaroth... it is so horrendously evil I could only stare and watch... and record ofcourse, discover my findings here http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/eggsong Be forewarned, it will warp your soul.
