General Discussion / Re: What do you name your ships and why?

« on: September 11, 2015, 01:52:15 pm »

I don't pilot very often but of the ships I do use:

Goldfish: Herald of Sylka (It used to be called the Cloud Cutter but I decided to go for something more grounded in the world and I needed to pick a side in that whole Nalm-Sylka rivalry. The Goldfish is also my favourite looking ship too and is fairly easy to pilot.)

Pyramidion: Battenberg (It's a nice cake.)

Squid: Night Sparrow (Seemed appropriate.)

The Junker is smaller than I imagined. And the spire is much bigger than I imagined given how fragile it is.

It just further emphasizes that the Goldfish is the PRETTIEST airship though.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Ship Cosmetics Wishlist

1) Balloon patterns, not just dyes. So instead of applying a flat colour to the balloon, it would apply a pattern, say... stars. Or vertical stripes. Or a single horizontal stripe. Or a camouflage pattern. Etc etc.

2) Faction specific decals. So you can declare your loyalty. But perhaps these could include the subgroups too. Does Sylka have a "state" symbol?

3) Perhaps some more radical cosmetic changes that make the ship look much different. I dunno how feasible that would be.

4) Special themes with particle effects. Like if your ship was a SKY WHALER, you might have certain processing facilities on board that spew out black smoke. Ok - this one is a little more silly.

I hope the latest devchat got everyone excited about adventure mode.

After watching the adventure mode focused dev chat today I have to say I really like the way the Arashi ships look - especially the Bonefish which basically is somewhat like a giant monstrous goldfish. It'd be nice if we could get some nice clear pictures of the Arashi ships that aren't from a video!

It has me very excited about what the other factions look like.

It's great to see some fanart from more people. Makes me want to draw something new! We still need more from you all though. With enough people we could give that three-word challenge another go!

Nothing too fancy about mine. I couldn't really find any combination of dyes that worked on the dust rider outfit. And you can't make the witch hat black, you can only dye the band.

Also while I have a bunch of engineer outfits I just really like the default blouse and waistcoat. And it goes well with the fallen hero cap.

Most of my dyes I got through unlocks, I think I actually bought a dark red dye though because I have 5 charges of it. I can't remember - I'd probably had too much wine that night or something.

I can understand some concerns raised - I think I'd prefer it if a "clear dyes" option was free. But overall I don't mind. Vanity items and stuff are definitely the preferred way Muse make their cash for me as it won't affect the game but still gives them another revenue stream to keep the game going and improving.

General Discussion / Dyes

« on: October 15, 2013, 07:39:21 pm »

Quick question as I haven't played for some months and am just getting back into things (ooo new stuff!). Wasn't sure which forum to ask it on.

1) Dyes have "charges" I assume? The ones I have acquired say "2" so does that mean I can use 2 instances of the dye and then it is gone?

2) I also assume that when you apply dye to a costume you own, it will always stay like that until you dye it something else?

I like the dyes.

But the sun in this land is just an illusion created by the only god left here. =(

Ok, Scaffolding, function, platypus it is then.

I was just wondering if it was three words from separate people or something.

In anycase this will be my first time drawing a platypus ever.

Fortunately they are slowly revealing more bits of lore in some of the updates. A basic "world primer" would be great though. Some kind of document from muse with a summary of the basic bits of the world and such. Faction descriptions (which we're getting), some sort of basic timeline, famous figures (besides Gabriel), and a little about what people eat and drink and what world specific goods are famed for their quality and price. Things like that.

And a map of Sylka. Well ok maybe that is asking too much... =P

I'd stay away from alignment though. The GoI world strikes me as greyer place than the black and white good-evil/law-chaos system of D&D.
