The Repopulation - Wailing Chasm WIP Shots

by J.C. Smith · 12/15/2009 (4:23 pm) · 9 comments

It's Wailing Chasm's turn to get a graphical and layout upgrade from Stadi Thompson. Attached are the first screenshots of the new zone. It's still a work in progress, and there is no groundcover or decorations just yet, but here's a preview. No build notes in this blog, but we should have another large patch in a week or so. It includes some more updates to Freedomtown, improved mob diversity, client side shadow options, bubble chat text above NPC's heads, zone and group experience bonuses and quite a bit more. For now, here's the screenshots.

Wow, those golden textures really jump off the screen. You guys continue to impress me, JC. Can't wait to play it upon release. Keep up the good work!

Nice chasm! I take it you've got the old parallax on the go here?
