Bridge Preview

[Kegan 3,926]

I know it is probably not going to be the popular view but i do hope they put some restrictions on how long they can be. I dont want to see some crazy long bridge across the sea to some island or some other crazy stuff like that.

Even if theres no skill cap, theres still the material and time requirement. Acts as its own cap.

 

But... I wouldnt mind a way to walk between servers. No idea if the supports need to be built.

[RamzesXVI 1]

SUPER!!!!!!

[Hidinn 6]

so now that the wooden bridge is coming to life slowly...when will stone bridges come into the picture? (i'm only assuming quite a while after the wooden ones are completely done and coded)

[Makarus 458]

Will the rope bridge bend in the middle once complete?

depends, i think a horseback plate wearer should snap the rope. that's just me tho, i'd love to see fat people plummet.

 

 

 

That said, this is awesome. gogo gadget wurm team! woo

Even it they compensated you with a few Transmuation Rods for you to choose from?

 

unless it was 7 trans rods, No touchin my veins I got utmosts all types here. No touchy!

[Elen 1,013]

Some sort of length cap or high material requirements would be fine, like if a stone bridge section took 100-200 bricks and mortar per tile, rope taking some high end rope in vast quantity, blah blah, would be relatively self limiting.

[Silures 91]

I got an early heads up on these from Saro but I wasn't about to release the info. Better with the piccys here but the convo excerpt answers some more questions. The answers here are of course subject to change but these sound really good

 

02:23:50] <Thesilures> so what you working on now then, art wise
[02:24:42] <Saroman> finished a lot of things now, next I'll go back to the **** that's been on hold
[02:24:52] <Saroman> replacement for the **** ****
[02:25:22] <Saroman> the next big thing is bridges actually
[02:25:26] <Thesilures> gonna upload a pic or two of the deed for uberbear if i can get any good ones, ill put the link for you too
[02:25:43] <Thesilures> wow nice
[02:26:00] <Thesilures> are bridges sorta designed yet?
[02:26:05] <Saroman> sorta
[02:26:45] <Saroman> well in the latter stages of planning
[02:26:52] <Thesilures> hmm, idk how theyll be but you ever play lemmings with the bridges you could angle?
[02:27:05] <Saroman> no
[02:27:34] <Thesilures> lol
[02:27:42] <Saroman> they'll follow one row of tiles and require flat end points that are at the same height
[02:27:55] <Saroman> that much is certain
[02:27:59] <Thesilures> yea that sounds good
[02:28:27] <Thesilures> theres a max distance they can go?
[02:28:32] <Saroman> four types, rope, wood, rock, marble
[02:28:40] <Thesilures> wow
[02:28:48] <Thesilures> i wont say btw np
[02:28:53] <Saroman> hehe
[02:29:18] <Thesilures> nah i mean ppl dont know, not my place to say at all
[02:29:20] <Saroman> not sure about distance yet, but theoretically quite long
[02:29:40] <Saroman> height above the lowest point is more of an issue I suppose
[02:29:50] <Thesilures> you think they or something might bridge buildings?
[02:30:13] <Thesilures> height above the lowest point of the mesh?
[02:30:30] <Saroman> it's planned to have them between buildings
[02:30:38] <Saroman> height above terrain
[02:30:41] <Thesilures> one of the issues was how ships would pass
[02:30:51] <Thesilures> oh joy
[02:30:56] <Thesilures>
[02:30:59] <Saroman>
[02:31:21] <Saroman> yeah it'll be possible to let ships pass
[02:31:28] <Thesilures> thats really intriguing
[02:31:48] <Saroman> might have to raise terrain a bit at the end points if it's at water level
[02:31:56] <Thesilures> especially the 4 material types... idk how youll do that
[02:32:15] <Thesilures> ah thats what you meant then
[02:32:32] <Thesilures> yea i think whatever it takes ppl wont mind
[02:33:10] <Saroman> not sure about arches yet but in princible we want curved ways across
[02:33:18] <Saroman> so that should help
[02:33:20] <Thesilures> and width, would you be able to have 2 tile wide or just the 1 standard
[02:33:31] <Saroman> 1 and 2 wide yeah
[02:33:58] <Thesilures> does anyone know outside the dev guys
[02:34:02] <Saroman> no
[02:34:20] <Thesilures> hah well as i said np with me telling
[02:34:40] <Thesilures> but thats immense news for the game
[02:34:52] <Saroman> not an issue with anyone knowing really, keeps people excited
[02:35:24] <Thesilures> haha yea once anything leaks tho itll be 200 questions lol
[02:35:47] <Saroman> it's always 200 questions
[02:35:57] <Thesilures> you doing the art for it currently?
[02:36:45] <Saroman> soon, once the planning's done

 

Sorry for the asterisks there too but that's something else entirely.

[Keldun 335]

It sounds nice, but it would have been even better if you could have chosen the pavement and fencing yourself.

 

I mean the system is already in place for stories, so why not use it for bridges as well?

Length restriction would be my favorite. I don't like restriction by mats. You know, this is not a restriction at all.

But in the end, as much as i dislike to admit it, either way does not restrict. No matter if there is going to be one long or many small bridges, there are going to be cross server bridges. Tho i have no idea why someone would actually want one. Sailing is way better. :-)

[Tich 1,389]

There are going to be cross server bridges.

No there wont.

[Shadz 525]

No there wont.

Awh

[Elen 1,013]

Will bridges be bashable ?

Can I build things on top of the bridge (gatehouse, etc) ?

Edited November 18, 2013 by Elen

[Xalorum 765]

please let us know when they're available in test, I can't wait to go play around with them!

[Klaa 4,872]

Better question... can we cut down a rope bridge with a bladed weapon? -.-

 

[belthize 438]

You can't cut it but casting CoC on it will make it shatter.

[Baboso 3]

I want to walk on it.

[solmark 544]

unless it was 7 trans rods, No touchin my veins I got utmosts all types here. No touchy!

 

Wow, i've seen people with 1 or 2 transmutation rod utmost veins, but 7, wow, #bowsdown

 

I hope your mining skill makes the most of all the ql

[Touchmee 380]

BEAST!!!! would it be possible to have a bridge under a bridge? haha

[Elen 1,013]

Inception-bridge, *mind-blown*

[Valdor 1,426]

Ladies and gentlemen, one thing is certain. This is the time to screenshot all your land bridges. Because as much as they are clumsy and aesthetically inferior, they will soon disappear into the annals of history and we'll be looking at the pictures of them with some nostalgia in the future with the required smile and a sigh, thinking to ourselves with a lump in our throats , "Remember the old times?"

You mean like before horses?
