EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!
- Thread starter Quaid
- Start date
It works. I think a lot of people are getting the outside down the way they want before they start smoothing. For me, I want my buildings to have a blocky look. It looks like it is make from bricks or blocks, and I think it's a good look for what I'm building.
Google advanced building tutorial eqnext landmark devs. I think it was linked earlier, too lazy to find it, sorry.

Here is what I was working on yesterday - my first attempt. Not sure if I am going to keep it, just started with an idea and went from there. And there is no smooth on it yet from me, still deciding if I am going to tear it down and start over - if the plot was bigger I would have had towers where the planters were on top (going from the bottom, through and above).

That is looking really good Skanda!Pics of my quarter built project:
Spoilered because I'm far too lazy to resize them.

It's generally better to complete what you want to build (or at least template it) before you smooth. Things seem harder to edit after you've already smoothed them.

That's what they announced (from memory). It might change, but yea, did notice that.

I remember that somewhere as well..would be insane to allow people to keep their mats.

Full mats, templates, and 2 days headstart = when the plebe logs in, he's surrounded by awesome stuff and goes "whoa". Don't underestimated the initial impression factor that non-founders would get from this.

Yeah closed will be the time you go all out mining/gathering. As its pretty much a soft launch at that point.

Think you are over estimating the impact a small closed beta group will have on what I suspect will be a very, very large population post launch.

Will there even be a currency or trading post? I would think Sony isn't too concerned with having a stable market in this type of game. It's about building stuff after all. The progression stuff is there for players that really need carrots (ie: don't like building shit) but really the main point is to build and building stuff actually does take an enormous amount of materials. Once players can have multiple claims and link them together the requirements will grow exponentially. I can see a huge market for "farmers" actually, though I'm not sure what exactly they would want for compensation... maybe just seeing cool projects get completed would be enough? I can definitely see communal projects happening. Would be cool to have another "Minas Tirith" type of build ... not necessarily building Minas Tirith again but on the original FoH Minecraft server there were like 20+ people involved and people were divided into "classes"... miners/builders/planners/etc.
