Feature Article Feedback: The Art of Shavarath Series Part 1!

[Gol]

Already ahead of you on that one I come bearing wallpapers tomorrow. The concept art is just too sweet to not have wallpapers!

Please don't insult us by giving us more 1024x768 "wallpaper". Go hi-res or don't bother.

It does look a lot like Gianthold, as A_D has alluded to. Which is about as good as it can get. We need another GH win to make up for the Necro debacle we're still reeling from.

Very nice stuff! Thanks Tolero and all working on the new mod!

[I_Bob]

Very nice looking concept art! Can't wait to see the concept turned to reality.

Agreed!! This land looks rife with opportunity. Can't wait to explore. This, coupled with the rest of what I've read leads me to think mod 9 is going to be almost great... Just need to beef up the cleric capstone a bit and mod 9 will be awesome.

****ing A people that is what i am talking about. death, destruction, battle, war, all without going to new jersey.

[Wrustle]

While we're at it, how about a new splash screen with some of this art featured with "Mod 9 coming soon!"

Way ahead of ya there Sirea... been requesting that for a while now.

Can't wait to see more of it. And Tolero, how about setting this as the splashscreen? I think that will do wonders for getting people excited about Mod 9 again.

Ruins of Gianthold.
No vegatation- check.
Smoke covers sky- check.
Millenia of battle- check.
Spires of rock- check.
Otherworldly- double-check.

At least it doesn't rain daggers. And most likely, everything isn't purple.

QFT - I immeaditely thought the same thing.

It looks frankly amazing. Jaw dropping concept art - as well as knowing that the three factions and lands of Shavarath will be represented. Consider my anticipation for Mod 9 multiplied on several fronts now - and I'm awaiting the next diary eagerly. I just hope that the next one will have a bit more "meat" to it. That's a small complaint, though.

Yeah, yeah.. until you find out it consists of three quests (one per faction) and a six-man raid...

I'll keep my fingers crossed. If they've done the content development needed for four new levels this could be simply amazing.

[Gratch]

Most triumphant concept art there.

Did you guys (Keeper/landscape artist types) get any new tech in the ddo engine to help you portray Shavarath? Such as the ceilings can be displayed as floors tech that LotRO got for Moria's caverns?

I agree, not everyone reads the forums and this would give them a reason to. By the way awesome, I can't wait!

Millenia of battle- check.

The fighting in Gianthold is like a playground brawl compared to what's been going on in Shavarath since the beginning of time.

[Slink]

So, this means that since the art/ideas are in "concept" does that mean we can expect release sometime...hmmm...mid next year?

Nice to see you out and about.

MOD9 is a myth. What's REALLY happening is they are working on an paid expansion. Working title is "Forsaken Lands".

Thanks for rubbing our collective noses in the fact that we can't play it yet! LoL

Prove it. Got screenshots?

[moorewr]

Yeah, sure the devils, archons etc say they've been fighting since the beginning of time.. but have they kept records? Nooo!

Exactly. Screenshot or it didn't happen.

they all sit around having BBQ parties, until someone stumbles into their realm, then they stumble around and look like they are fighting to scare them away, then its back to the party
