EQ2: First Look at Shard of Fear

Kendricke · 10-03-2007, 11:29 AM

For those interested, we've put up the first pictures of the new Shard of Fear zone (now on Test server) over at Clockwork Gamer:

Shard of Fear First Look!

Enjoy.

Looks awesome, except for the dragon. It just looks like they took a skin texture and slapped it on the whole model. The head in particular doesnt look right, as theres no reason the horns should also be flesh colored. They should be bone right?

The temple shot gives me goosebumps though. Oh the memories of Fear.

It's basically the same model you find in Deathtoll, in the Chamber of Flensing by Fitzpitzle.

Never been there so I couldnt tell ya, but it just looks like it should be more detailed. Maybe it is in person, dunno.

Graphics still look like ass. That dragon looks awful. Color scheme looks nice though.

Kobalt · 10-03-2007, 11:50 AM

too brown etc

But anyway, it needs to have a huge amywhateverthehelltheyarecalled train and a army of shit that jumps you when you zone in or it just wont be the same.

Zuuljin · 10-03-2007, 11:56 AM

Haha true. WIth the linked mob concept, they should just link every amy in the temple as one encounter, so you always get a train! People would appreciate the humor. =)

Horse · 10-03-2007, 01:12 PM

These graphics make me afraid

Hardcore Cracka · 10-03-2007, 01:15 PM

mmm plastic.

Zone looks good. Dragon is shit.

Don't fuck up Cazic. Seriously.

Laerazi · 10-03-2007, 01:29 PM

The trees look pretty cool, when I opened the first picture I thought I was seeing a bunch of large dinosaur like creatures trampling around, but it's just the trunks of these oddly shaped trees. That dragon texturing is pretty hideous and one of the things I really hate from EQ2/Vanguard. You'd never catch WoW with a model skinned solely from the same repeating texture. I realize it's a very fast way of texturing something... but it's ugly and obvious.

Pretty sure they have fucked him up, if the model that's been going around is his final version. Picture a large scaled human with little t-rex arms coming out of his chest, and brownish/crap looking texture for skin.

Err...that sounds like Cazic Thule.

The pic going around is the Avatar. Not actually CT

Kevincheese · 10-03-2007, 01:53 PM

Even though the Avatar looks exactly LIKE CT.

Digits · 10-03-2007, 01:56 PM

Uh, why the fuck isn't the Dracholiche using the Tarinax model from KoS?
