New Splash Screen on Risia

[Ringlord]

Today's latest version of module 5 on Risia had a new splash screen when you go to log in. It does not have any details about the next update, but it shows a giant sized dark figure sheathed in a blue energy/fire about to step on a Dwarf lying prone on the ground in House K

I would post a screen shot, but I don't even know how to link them here ( computer challenged am I )

OHHHHH...and maybe that means more house K favor...I want more bank space

Can someone else who has Risia take a screeny of the new splash screen and post it up and link it here? I ask because my screen shot folder is nowhere to be found on my computer.

The giant sized dark flaming figure is a Cinderspawn, which is one of the new monsters in mod5. And that isn't a dwarf - it's either a human or an elf.

[Barumar]

Yup, didn't look like a Dwarf to me. Too long and lanky - unless...

[Sojourner]

That just rocks for a splash screen!!


On a related note - was talking to some friends about how cool it would be if they could occasionally rotate in some of the older / original splash screens.

Judging by the arms, female elf. And yes, that is a cinderspawn. And here I was, hoping for the 12 to open.

We are forgetting the most important thing that this image tells us........
Bank Slot 4 is close!!

Pretty much what I was going to say. for the Op to think that was a dwarf.... WOW... someone obviously has been drinking the wrong stuff.

And given the complete lack of text on the screen... I'm thinking it is just a splash with no real hint of what is about to come next.

What could we read into it? City fighting? City PvP? (in which case I want godlike city police NPCs to keep the peace) More house K favor?

Personally I think it is just a sign that fluffy pink bunnies will soon be coming as familiars for arcanes.

edit:Second thought. I think it is just a reminder that taxes will be coming soon, and the cinderspawn works for the IRS. Obviously the elf owes back taxes.

perhaps the terrain is in house k? and we are actually fighting them in between buildings?

[Lorien_the_First_One]

Hmmm...my inital thought was it just meant House K quests...Then I rethought.... Turbine keeps getting in trouble when they broadcast their intent before it is firm enough and from Q's thread yesterday they clearly are afraid to stick their neck out.

I'll bet you 100gp that the screen is just a pretty place holder screen that someone made up in 5 minutes from stock images and it means nothing.

From the lack of "update" text, that is probably true.

Though it would be fun if you entered a quest with House K as the map!

It is also possible that they do not want to release the text of the update as they have been bitten in the past , with people starting to talk about the next update before the current one is in. Also they might be working on a set of quests that would fill the 5.1 and 5.2 updates and they have not decided which ones will be in which.

They wouldn't "have been bitten in the past" if they had delivered content.

(Notice my wording, I didn't say what content, just content )

You can't have an update splash screen and not have text, that defeats the purpose of the splash screen. When it goes on the live servers it will have text or else it's useless after looking at it the first time. They are probably just too busy figuring out what will make it in mod 5 and what will not before they update it.
