Hi people! after some time i've got the inspiration back to do some worldbuild. Cutting on the lore, the Scarlet Crusade have recaptured most Darrowmere Forest and now that it's purified they built back their fortress, Tyr's Hand is not the seat of power of Damian Dathroan, son of the gran crusader Dathroan, and her wife, Abbendiss. Tyr's Hand is grown as a massive fortified monastery overlooking the town and here you are, screens  [spoiler:vntkwgr0]        [/spoiler:vntkwgr0] Some textures are still to be finished and also detail doodads are to be done  but i'm kinda satisfied so far

Well, i decided to make new architecture for Stromgarde, it doesn't look as a capital city, capital cities in wow have custom models... I'm going to make 3-4 houses to be later on built, in two different ways, to make the city look really unique That's what i've got so far:     If someone can actuall help me converting this to m2 (tested GMES, 3dsmtom2 and whatnot, any of those work) would be really a nice thing.

Hi! being subscribed to the Q&A WoW dev group pays, since i get at times interesting things from the Devs of WoW that answers the user question, and much stuff that usually isn't said, now is! I'll post here the most notable answers I read at times, and i want you to have your say Q: Is it possible to let the players create/edit their own looks? - Zed Loft (Taiwan), Vysha (NA/ANZ), Ráchel (EU|German)
A: As we said in an earlier Q&A, we definitely hear loud and clear from players that they want more customization for their character. This is something we want to provide, but we want to do it in the right way. Consider the Barber Shop feature. It lets you change your character's hair, but there’s not a lot of gameplay to it. We're not sure that feature really added a lot to the game in retrospect. Is WoW more fun for you now that you have a Barber Shop? Are you more likely to keep playing because of it? Maybe, but it wasn’t a cheap feature to add in terms of development time. Dumping a bunch of dyes on the game might have a similar effect, where some players might have fun playing around with the system for a bit, but a lot of players might change their colors once or twice and then forget about the feature after that. Now, not every aspect of the game needs a ton of depth and a lot of interesting decisions, but we tend to attract more players to a feature the more robust the feature is.
We also think it's fair to argue that the game just needs more armor and weapon art. As we said above, we deliver a lot of art these days, but we also produce an enormous number of new items every expansion or patch and it’s understandably disappointing whenever items use the same art. It would be really cool if not every mage or priest converged on the same look after a given expansion or patch. This particular answer made me frown, honestly, Aesthetic is a big part of a MMO since you're playing your avatar and you want it to be as close as possible to what you like it to be, this is the basic principle of even creating a character. According to blizzard, they clearly stated that whatever thing does not require grind and won't be the reason for 500 hours of farming is not actually worthing to be done, and that says also why WoW is going to get only worse, because the mental approach is that, "let's do stuff to make people grind" Everyone has been asking for new character models/ more customization, starting from asymmetrical faces, passing through more decent hairstiles (some of them are just bad looking, and some new haircut have a really poor UV mapping also) not to mention the never underrated human male (which is horrible, and almost everyone agrees on that) I don't want to make it a hater thread, but really while i smiled on some answers, this one made me really disappointed, why saying that no one really used the barber shop? people actually did use it, you use it once, or twice, that's what the barbershop is for, you don't HAVE to do it, but you CAN do it. It's not about what players HAVE TO do, it's giving more possibilities to players, and in this particular case, BASIC ones, since WoW has a quite poor customization (not as poor as most MMOs around, but still sucks utterly compared to other games like RoM - which is a good game, has potential, good graphic, but they tried to make another clone of wow and failed - or Perfect World - that is sadly another stupid Korean MMO Grind-grind-grind), so I really think here Blizz would take a step backward and ask themselves WHAT is a MMO, apart from a money machine. Q: Would it be possible for city quartermasters to sell the same equipment that guards wear? Stats wouldn't matter. - Pokemonmasta (EU|English), Tajit (NA/ANZ)
A: Cool idea. We'll talk about it. I smiled, because the amount of work to do that is so ridicolous that nearly every private server has guard armor and npc armor unlocked, because people actually LOVE some npcs armors, and way to implement them are more than thousands. Happy to see that after only 6 years they are finally getting that. Q: Any chance we can start heading away from WWE-esque belts? - Catriona (NA/ANZ)
A: Azeroth is stricken by a terrible plague that inflates the size of shoulders and belts over time. Our artists like the belts because they have more room for detail when they’re larger. That said, your concern is duly noted.
I laughed at this, WWE-esque belts are actually getting annoying on Cata, and way overused, Blizz may consider hiring a third artist? (can't believe they actually have more than two artists drawing the armors) Also shoulderpads are getting just ridicolous, being the only part with the helm that you can actually model doesn't mean that the shoulderpad alone must compensate for all the set's flatness. Q: Is there any chance we could have caster weapons involved in casting animations? It would look cool to be holding a staff and casting a spell through it, at least as a customization option. - Dromanthis (NA/ANZ)
A: This is something we would dearly love to do. We agree that melee specs get to see their weapons a lot more often in combat while it's easy for casters to forget about them. It's definitely on the list, but understand that we have so many races now (and two sexes for all existing races) that the animations take more time to do right/well. Uhm i wonder if WE can actually do this.... i want to know Jack's opinion about this!! Last Q&A Q: Will enchanters be getting back the ability to make wands? - Trustybee (Taiwan)
A: We have been discussing what role in the game wands are supposed to fill. We generally consider it a failure these days if a caster ever wants to wand for dps instead of using their spells. Working the wand into the cast animation (as in the question above) is one idea. In any event, we want to figure out what we want wands to do before we give them any more prominence. Nostalgy... so much nostalgy.... when wands were actually used in Vanilla... Here i want to know your ideas, for me they should be a source of spell power + spell eanchement (like Librams for paladins) that would make them useful and senseful, oh, also a spell on use would be cool! That's all for now folks!

Hi, i want to tell you the story of why i'm going to leave the model editing scene
I do that because i honestly think that the best model editors are here, and all of you will probably understand how i feel during this, seeing, as for me, model editing as a brotherhood.
Why i say so? because people like me, Limee, Eluo, Steff(Even tough he's a programmer) and other great model editors or going-to-be great model editors have shared a lot the same feelings for our work, which is a passion, we all feel the same way with our job, which is, i could say, the best in the world (after the porn actor, but is a detail)
We share the will to make something unique, something that stands for us as a piece of art, not just a mere work, but something that brings up feelings to the users or to who sees screens of our work.
In this scene many of us know already what happened of late on AC-web, where me, Eluo, the dude that made Deadwind Keep, Limee and others got leeched many times (sorry Eluo i found out too late to tell you in time, and he deleted the post) where little pieces of scum (harsh but deserved) claimed our work (and our screens) as their own, to feel a little less pitiful or just get rep, i personally bought me and many friends to claim our work as our own and uncovering the thievery, but was a lost battle already, AC-web has the particular thing of having NO moderators except 2-3 dudes that aren't even reachable with PMs and whatnot, and well, they always plainly ingored me and all my requests of a bit of fairness, so leeching ran wild.
Yesterday i found an interesting surprise, some other piece of scum that actually deserves to die (he does) built up an entire site for my server... to rip my patches, decrypt them (even tough i just added a simple .exe check he removed) and make them downloadable to the public.
Now, you all know ( i guess) CoA and how the server was developing, and its strong point is in fact the new amount of content, I always put much effort in trying to keep the patch into CoA, and i did it because i had my ambitious (and i admit delusional) project to make a RP haven for who loved to RP in a RP-friendly environment. (WoW IS NOT RP-friendly, doesn't even make sense RP wise)
Now, imagine how would you feel seeing your work downloadable from a site that says "i'm gonna rip the shit ouf ot that douche" referring to you. As model editors, you can understand my feelings.
And then you see that little idiot posting it everywhere on Ac-web, MMowned, and other forums (he'll may post even here) and you already read people saying "that's awesome i'm going to give it to all my friends!" and whatnot, yes, you see your work raped and used by every noob he just want to claim it for himself.
How would you feel?
I bet really bad.
And so i asked to the various admins of all the sites to delete those posts. I had to send MANY pleas to AC-web and they eventually even deleted it granting my wish, on other forums tough, they just ingored me (mostly because the admin was as leeching from it too)
What made me astonished, and disappointed, was what happened on MMOWNED.
Many of you would think about MMOWNED as a serious and helpful environment, well you're wrong.
Kurious, at my request to delete it, stated two choices:
-I release the stuff myself
-I let him do
I have no words to describe how disappointed i am, i would have expected it from other forums, but not MMOWNED. (The post is temporarily deleted but it's likely to be reopened according to kurious)
Then i ask myself, how much people is actually thinking we worth? i remember Dynashock stating "that model editors are just common and raw working force, while programmers are like diamonds" Of course, everyone can take noggit and start working, and we have the proof seeing the floods of lame model edits done by noobs that want to boast themselves (i love when i see "here is my awesome model edit! it's epic guys *lame screens follow of a 2 wmo swap*)
But are we, as a category (Because what happen to me today may happen to all of you, i hope not, but it could) protected in some way? do we have some dignity for what we do? I consider myself, Eluo, Limee, and many others (sorry i can't think about much names atm) as artists, because what we make is art (it's not being arrogant, i wouldn't say so if some hundred of people didn't told me that) but people sees us as mapping packmules, we are just supposed to make maps (and release them) and shut up.
To me it's wrong, but what could i do? where nobody respects what we do, nobody cares, and everyone is ready to steal other people work?
You know better than me that all this thing is turning into a dick contest. I don't like it. But i can't do nothing except taking my leave from the model editing scene (partially, i'll still stay here and i'll show some screens to time to time)
What's the point of this huge wall of text? i needed to out my feelings about that story, because i'm building up too much anger inside to be honest.
Well that's all, i wrote all this wall of text as a flow, but i would like to know what you think.

Hi, i'm learning how to use maya and 3ds, and i've came up with the decision of making a new creature model in wow, the actual Revenant from Wc3, that was if you recall, awesome. That's what i've come up so far... i'd like advice and hints about how to improve it NOTE: has no textures, no gloves and no weapon/armor yet i plan to give him attachment points so he can use actual weapons and shields I would copy-paste animations from the Fire Revenant model

Hi to everyone, while i'm working on other stuff i found that my old Northern Lordaeron edit was needing a major overhaul, then i redid everything from scratch, scrapping the old ideas and redoing it again. Lore time -Hasic was a rich port town that linked many trade routes between the main harbors of Lordaeron, until the third war wiped out Lordaeron itself destroying most of this land, Hasic, however didn't got destroyed by the scourge, as the scourge wasn't interested in a coastal town while had a whole continent to wipe out, and because to reach Hasic you have to pass through Tyr's Hand, or cross the wild forest and climb some hill As the land got healed and trade routes were rebuilt by the New Lordaeron and the Scarlet Crusade (now controlling a big part of Darrowmere Forest) Hasic emissaries sought to inform both factions that the city is still alive and available for trade, and is the last town (along with Southshore) to be Old-lordaeronish Sadly, there was a price to pay still for Hasic, war would fall even on this town, and so it was: A noble of Hasic, Lord Samwell Gernald, was found and captured by a group of forest trolls of the nearby Zul'Ulda temple (located near Seradane) and they agreed on freeing him AND paying him in change of a favor, blowing up the side of the mountain near Hasic, that was the only block for a deep cave that linked Hasic itself with their temple's catacombs... and so he did.. Overnight, both the city wall and the rock exploded, and a flood of well armed trolls with siege equipment swarmed in the high keep before the city could set up any defense, and overnight the whole city on the left side of Merendar river was destroyed and conquered, luckily the right half of Hasic woke up and set defenses on the bridge. Samwell got killed by the very trolls that he had a deal with "da traitor do not deserve to live" Now the Alliance seek to take back the left side of Hasic while the horde is helping the Amani trolls* to finish the job and destroying that town once and for all. *Amani trolls are now playable as race, as the Blood Elves are a neutral race (they left the horde) Trees are custom and ye, the water is real and works. AND YES, IS STILL A WIP. Notes: Hasic texturework and map aren't done yet Newer Screens: [spoiler:3njs18ec]      [/spoiler:3njs18ec] Older Screens: [spoiler:3njs18ec]    [/spoiler:3njs18ec] [spoiler:3njs18ec]       [/spoiler:3njs18ec] Enjoy I'll add more stuff as the work proceeds, it's not just an area change since i'm heavily editing stuff around, and there will be two brand new pieces of this region.

Hi to all! while i'm finishing Northeron (i need mostly to add the details and finish the isle) i decided in a moment of madness and boredom to start a little but interesting edit, i'll post some screenshots soon, before, as always, i'll bother you with some lore For years the Kingdom of Stromgarde and the Forest Trolls fought hard in the Arathi Highlands, and as both the empires collapsed, the war itself finished.... ...Until the Kingdom of Stromgarde has reborn, and now, the Trolls of the Witherback village have to play their Ace, and they broke the seals on the ruined temple city of Zul'Arga, nested in the mountains east of Arathi The city is divided in three parts, mosty: The Stair of Blood - is the entrance to the city, a huge, massive stair that climbs up all the mountain, up to the plateau, the entrance used to be fortified and become in the time a small city itself, but eventually, as the city was sealed (for causes still unknown) the city fell into ruin and disrepair Now, as the trees have claimed the entrance, only few huts are proof of a troll presence. The Grove of Purification - the forest between the entrance and the temple, this thick band of vegetation used to be cut in two by a majestic road, now almost completely destroyed by the weather and the age, about this forest the trolls whisper of dark beasts lurking in the darkness... The Temple of the Clouds - the highest part of the city, was once a majestic monument to the Amani Empire, now is only a pile of crumbled stone, in the empty halls only the echo of some lost soul breaks the silence, many claims that behind this temple there is a secret passage to the Hinterlands --NOTE: the concept are still being chosen, as it is for now, is a challenge for troll players to reclaim the land from the savage beasts and defend it while the New Lordaeron pushes away from the Highlands Screen time [spoiler:1z098ya9]        [/spoiler:1z098ya9] [spoiler:1z098ya9]       [/spoiler:1z098ya9] [spoiler:1z098ya9] [/spoiler:1z098ya9] This is, oddly, one of my first HORDE projects <.< you know i'm alliance 4ever but this time will be an exception

Where i'm already working on the greater part of edits (all the mapping, dbc editing, sound editing, SQL db turning etc) i'm looking for new members for my new English realm staff:
i'm looking for SERIOUS and interested people, to cover the following roles:
-Scripter 2x (C++ ONLY, for custom bosses, events and various scripts)

Ok, let's start with the Lore that everyone loves (not really xD) Since the formation of the New Lordaeron, and after the reclaiming of Durnholde Keep, Alterac City, Pyrewood Village, Ambermill and Aerie Peak, the empire finally has placed his eyes on the once great land of the Eastern Plaguelands... but this time things will be different, as the new king, Ralean Trollbane (unlegitimate son of Galen, died during the siege of Stromgarde) is going to fight personally the Scourge First, King Raelan, gathering his army at his full power and asking the aid of a red ragon, cleansed the city of Corin's Crossing and settled there the base of his military operations Second, band of heroes were sent to stop the spreading of the plague, and so, during risky and hard raids on Noxious Glade, Fungal Vale and Plaguewood, all the Scourge Cauldrons (the main cause of the terrain decay) have been destroyed and consecrated by Lord Alexander (the first commander of the Lordaeron army) Third, druid of the cenarion circle have been called and gathered at Light's Hope and Corin's, and started a powerfull ritual, mixing for the first time holy and nature to heal the land from a palgue both natural and unholy Fourth, when the cleansing process started, the army of Lordaeron marched nord and conquered back Eastwall tower and Browman mill, placing there strange holy artifact called "heaven shard", the scourge started to retreat and push some minor attacks on the northern frontier Fifth, helped by the High Elves of QUel'Danil, the argent crusade and their new allies blood elves, the army marched forth to the norh, gaining back Blackwood, Northdale, Northpass Tower and placing the holy artifacts near the gate of Plaguewood, sealing the scourge in that region Terrordale is too far from any reach now, but a new expedition is planning to take back the town passing trough terrorweb tunnel This patch will be released after the event "2 Years Later" so every change made in the patch is about 2 years after those events Now, i've bothered you enough with lore, let's start with screenies :3 [spoiler:f20156o1] ImageShack Album - 15 images <-Full album on Imageshack  On the World Map  Region Map  Corin's Crossing  Northdale  Quel'Lithien and Northpass Tower  Browmann Mill (Argent outpost + PVP event)  Light's Hope Chapel (now featuring the Crypt of Heroes shown in the Ashbringer comic)  Blackwood Bridge (with new farms)[/spoiler:f20156o1] [spoiler:f20156o1]       [/spoiler:f20156o1] I need some help for: -adding water ONLY on the river (pretty hard i know) -adding POI (Corin's Crossing should be visible as city on the map) -adding flight paths (Corin's Crossing, Northdale - alliance / Quel'Danil - both) -changing the terrain details as always, suggestion and feedbacks accepted

The story goes on and since the fall of Silvermoon under the power of the Dark Gods (not the old gods, more ancient ones), tremors and earthquakes are shaking the southern part of the Eastern Kingdoms And now, from the long time closed Blackrock MOuntain, the true power of the Dark Gods are being revealed, during a massive Earthquake a brand new fortress, built by the enslaved Blackrock Orcs (and Scarshield legion too) and kept hidden by secret powers, has born from the rock, changing the face of the mountain forever.. [spoiler:iva02ckk]     [/spoiler:iva02ckk] Now Blackrock MOuntain has been Fortified, under the order of the Dark Gods, and what has been locked inside the mountain has been revealed Blackwing lair has been purged by all the drakes who stood aganist this new power, and has become Blackwing Throne, where the Drake-binders are ready to unleash the corrupted and defiled drakes of the former lair Shadowforge city has been annihilated by the enslaved creatures of Molten Core (now without the command of Ragnaros, who is disappeared) and now is the City of the Damned, where the chained souls of the Dark Iron Dwarves are bound to flaming raging creatures alimented by rage and hatred but on the top of the mountain lies the new, greater evil... the once burning and trembling summit of Blackrock is now the place of the central keep and control quarter of the Dark Gods, here his most powerful servants are enslaving demons of unspeakable power.... welcome to Blackrock Summit [spoiler:iva02ckk]   [/spoiler:iva02ckk] Blackrock Summit is accessible after finishing Blackwing Throne, after defeating the last boss (not nefarian, but another one :3) the portal will appear for the players (all the instances are redefined to 5 players to help the roleplay) the portal is opened on the lower court, where the first boss take place, and the second boss is guarding the gate of the Bastion of Hate, inside that bastion the third boss is protected by a shield, and they have to kill the fourth boss in the Furnace of War. After killing the third boss, the portal for the upper floor is opened and the players can enter into the Bastion of Pain, where the Fifth and sixth bosses are togheder in the hall, defeating them allow the players to access to the last floor, where the portal for the Hall of War is opened and they can defeat one of the Dark Gods Here the Instance map so far [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk] hope u enjoy, i need now to complete the courtyard and add doodads all around :3 more screenies soon First part of the dungeon guideHere for you some footage of the Instance (nearly completed, now i have to spawn NPCs/Gobjects The entrance in the court: [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk] The first vision of the court, with the pit of the beast in the middle (i'm not going to touch the textures, in noggit i tried, and as ever the .adt was corrupted >.>) [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk] A misterious door in the court, with flames and smoke behind, perharps will lead to another part of the instance, later [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk] The entrance to the bastion of Hate, with another closed gate that someday may lead somewhere :3 [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk] The vision of the court from the top of the first bastion [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk] The southern wing of the Upper Balcony [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk] The portal to the Hall of War [spoiler:iva02ckk]  [/spoiler:iva02ckk]

Hey ya! the time is passing and after two years of battles and conquests, the New Lordaeron is now a major force in Azeroth money is coming from all over the land, mines, farms and other resources are being improved, the High Elf magic is helping and the blessing of both Sirian (god of Light) and Sideros (god of the stars) is blessing this kingdom (check my server lore, i'll post soon on the appropriate section) King Ralean Trollbane, coming back from his long campaign in the Northern Lordaeron and Darrowmere Fields (formerly the plaguelands) decided to rebuild from scratch the whole city of Stromgarde, to make it "the true capital of this glorious kingdom" and so the work started, and this is what the capital will be in the end: [spoiler:6n8dhqew]        (the harbor is not finished yet)  [/spoiler:6n8dhqew]

I've decided to make a new region, in the zone now called "Quel'Thalas", the northern coast of Lordaeron (now fully selectable in game as region and viewable in the overrall azeroth map, i'm working on the zone map, soon screenies) The zone is accessible from Hearthglen, Western Plaguelands (near the tower, starts a path in the mountains), Plaguewood (a mountain pass) Tirisfal Glade (swimming) Northeron divided between four factions: -Scarlet Crusade (Hearthglen Harbor) -New Lordaeron (Northolme Village) -High Elves (Dawnstrider Harbor) -Scourge (Banewood Marshes / Stratholme sewers (brand new instance) -Elementals (Voidheart Mansion -new instance) -Wilhammer Dwarf (isle of Thor'Kargas) -Wrykul (attacking the wildhammer isle) This will be the starting zone for the new race on my server, the High Elves (not really new, but now avaiable) now, it's lore time (not really xD) You start on the eastern part of the banewood marsh, on a ship wrecked on the coast, you can see the ghostland over the sea, you did it! you and few survivors are finally free from the magical thirst, embracing the power of Sideros (god of the stars, check my server lore) you've found a new source of power... but is not over yet! The first task is to cross the banewood marsh, where hordes of scourge wander, flowing out from Stratholme (of wich you can see the outer wall burning...) ralliyng the survivors and completing some task you finally reached Dawnstrider Harbor, the city of the High Elves (reaching level 7-8 at this point), where you must earn your stay! helping villagers and hunting creatures, until a human of the new lordaeron arrives, asking for help!, the commander has no choiche but to send you to the small village of Northolme, main harbor of the New Lordaeron forces, you're welcome here... (and here you should be at level 12-14) ... but not safe! the scarlet crusade is coming to attack the town from one side and the scourge from the other one! you MUST defend the town, the humans who opened their arms to help you must be helped back! Repelling the attack is not hard, and eventually you managed to do it (level 15-16) the lordaeron commander Alestorm sought in you something of valor, and you are chosen to help a counter-attack! this time the Scarlet crusade will loose Hearthglen Harbor once and for all! (completing the prologue will bring you to level 20) This is the prologue of the High Elf, at the end of wich you're sent to Soutshore to report to King Ralean Trollbane (the son of Galen) at Stromgarde City, becoming a part of the alliance, and the prologue is all set in an instanced copy of this map (on the normal map Hearthglen Harbor is already of the alliance and the whole zone is a high-level one) Screens time!
