The Fall of Oriath: The Harbour Bridge

The Harbour Bridge. Subtle auckland reference or nah?
...first thought across my head : perfect Guild v Guild or 10 v 10 map.

I never knew that, I agree it would be much better to give them their actual names

It's not because a idea is unpopular that it is wrong

I don't know history well, so I might be wrong but a long time ago, people who believed that the earth was round were killed for their beliefs, yet now, it's agreed on that it is.

I guess what I'm saying is, no, acknowledge every opinion, contemplate all of them, regardless of whether you agree or not and find the closest thing to an absolute answer, the most common ground

out of curiosity though, can you give me examples of games that were ruined because of a minority of players?

What would you prefer "Seagull's Paradise", "The Salt Factory", "Krillson's Bazaar" or perhaps "Pier 1 Imports"?

I don't think there's any reason to tart up a harbour with a fancy name. It is only what will become an act leading to end game.


Generic names look like placeholders. And while it's fine here and there (we do, after all, call it the Harbour Bridge and rarely Sydney Harbour Bridge), Wraeclast is riddled with them. We have 'The Prison' when it's clearly 'Axiom Prison'; 'The Ledge' is actually 'Silenus Bluffs'; 'The Forest' is 'Phrecia Forest'. And so on. The names exist. The game just refuses to use them, and I find it baffling.

No offence, but if the devs don't really care, I'm happy to let it go; just wanted to point out that 'Harbour Bridge' is super fucking cheesy for anyone aware of either real life Harbour Bridge.

Also, while you might see it as nothing but one more zone to rush through, there is a portion of the player base who will see acts 1-10 as the actual game. So these things matter, whether you can see it or not.


Points well made :) Most of the time for me, like you said, it is a zone to rush through, kill the boss and move on. The in-game map is incredibly hard to read as there is no contrast between the background and font, with just a outer glow around the letters. Probably why I just think of them as the in-game zone names.

Perhaps if they were labelled appropriately then there would be more interest and appreciation for the lore and maybe a bit more flavour injected into the game.

鬼殺し, I hope you pursue the issue and maybe the devs will see sense.

Really.

REALLY?

Guys.

Battlefront regurgitated. Again. Sigh.


It's not that. It's a very cool zone. Love the feel of it.

But that NAME is so fucking cheeseballs. I may or may not have written an indecently long email to the devs regarding zone names and why generic names are fine for beta but terrible for a complete game...which they may or may not have read.

Either way, with a lolrealworldreference name like 'The Harbour Bridge' (Sydney or Auckland, take your pick), it's clear they've committed to a ridiculously generic and lazy naming schema that I'll just pretend doesn't exist.
Well, it's better than something like "Hollow Bridge of Purgeness".
Erm...Docks+Ebony Barracks/Battlefront are recycled. Nothing new except some painting on the ground. Disappointing U_U
Only Lunaris + Solaris bosses are somewhat piqued my interest.
