I for one won't move. It's either an unintended difficulty and will be fixed, or it's an intended difficuly and I need to play an easier game.

This is my fear. I used to live in a "region" without iron on another server but then it was just a five minute walk to iron. Now? I shudder at the thought. At least we know the devs are capable of spawning more veins, as they did when slate and marble were introduced...

First of all, kudos to the devs for the smooth launch and a beautiful server. I could make ten threads praising your work, but only one to criticize it (this one). I do so out of interest for the fourty-plus people in our alliance. The map above is in the SW of Xanadu, and the markers represent the deeds of our bay-wide alliance so far. None of us have found any hint of iron yet. A few patches of zinc yes, but other than that it's all rock. I have personally spent four hours prospecting every third rock tile on every hill, slope and crest I can find, from the green square down to the mountain south of the red cross, and found zero iron. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but surely this is a little too sparse? Now I understand the appeal of regional ores, and I agree with it to an extent. Want to make a dashing bronze set of chainmail? Go on an epic journey. How about an anchor? Better make the trip to Lead Cove! But iron? Iron should be dotted around the map evenly, because it is about as essential to the game as wood. (And before someone says so, rummaging is not a viable option) Finally, thanks again for the game. I am 99% happy with it and have all but quit WildStar (which launched last Saturday) for it. That's no easy feat! Devs: are we just extremely unlucky and the iron is there after all? Or if it really is regional, can we please have a few iron veins sprinkled over the world? Players: how fares your iron search? I know many people have found it, but are there any other regions where it eludes us?

What program did you use for such a nice panorama? I want to panorama the view from my porch.

I've deeded the island in the middle of Q14, with the name "Beacon".

Can confirm. My speck is 41x21 plus the free perimeter:

The last two launches I was a part of was the first week of TESO and the launch of WildStar. I had to go whole days without playing those, thanks to badly timed Australian time-zone / work / maintenance. Xanadu was barely down long enough for me to buy some silver for my deed-dropper alt.

I'd trade our slate for iron any day. I've prospected a 1km circle around our location and found 90% rock with one hit of slate and anothe rof zinc. I just want to make a sickle.

Did someone say mountains? Also, my new deed:

Hi neighbour! I settled a little peanut shaped island where the yellow triangle is:

Less than six hours to go! I'm off to work, here's hoping they don't keep me back too late.

Will the Xanadu Map with Spawn Locations Be Available on Day 1?
Roame replied to Eyesgood's topic in Town Square
I'm curious, is this total protection or just a reduced "aggro" radius? Will a wolf ignore me if I brush past it, or sink its teeth into my juicy, newb abdomen? EDIT: Nevermind: -
Thanks DKSprocket, I've passed your upscaled version along to the Tacnet dev Martin. Hopefully it will be up before launch! You know, assuming it's the correct map and all.

In this part of the world it'll be midnight. Luckily I work nightshift and could technically tear my sleep schedule up by the roots to be there. We shall see...

Puts my time-lapses to shame. :') I'm impressed. Also, whos deeds are those? Lucky them!
-
Please can we get a full-sized map dump before release, mostly for use in Tacnet! That is, assuming the one in the OP is real and intended to be made public.
-
Woops. It was in the zip I sent the dev, so I've passed on your message.
-
Most of them are "timelapse 3" / one frame every 3 seconds. I think I used timelapse 5 for the Impalong video. I'd actually like some feedback on this. Are the terraforming videos a little too slow? I was thinking about speeding them up come time for the deed series. Thanks for the encouraging words.
-
I've forced myself to play other games while I wait for Xanadu. Though I never continued this project, "part 1" still makes for a cool video: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhwDPdDNrzc&hd=1 Once Xanadu is live I plan on doing a start-to-finish deed series, so tune in then.

I would have said to enable mipmapping, Shrimpie, but mine doesn't seem to change anything. I just know that mipmapping is what you need.
-
I wonder, with the release of the fancy Xanadu map, might someone provide an unedited map dump for use with Tacnet? I can think of few better times to use Tacnet than a land rush!

The prodigal son returns! Sarcasm aside, it's good to see you back. The moderators may close this if they wish, but as I stated in the OP, I am still curious how a more balanced vote turns out. At "worst", it will only last another-

ScarfaceRo's deed design contest has come to a close, and has come to a public vote. This is an "unofficial" poll, as the original thread stated "Just that in this case I won't pick the winner (it would be hard to do so considering I didn't really liked any of the entries), but instead just let the community chose the winner and reward the prize to the design with most "likes" (from valid accounts - made before this date and with at least 100 posts)." However, if my background in web design has taught me anything, it's that content "above the fold" gets the most views, so I am curious to see what a more balanced vote reveals. For the record, Glomby's post won the "official" poll. This note is mad in case ScarfaceRo returns and the likes tally has changed. Grats Glomby! The "likes" tally is as follows: Boomza: 2; Capi: 1; Cookiestomper: 3; Glomby: 4; Keldun: 2; Roame: 4; Slikshot#1: 3; Slickshot#2: 0. Finally, let us keep this topic free of posts arguing ScarfaceRo's whereabouts or intentions. For all intents and purposes, this topic and poll exists for interest's sake and the winner should expect to receive nothing tangible for their work. At least the entrants got to stretch our creative muscles, and the voters look at their pretty pictures! The contestants, in alphabetical order based on username: Boombza Capi Cookiestomper Glomby Keldun Roame Slickshot #1 Slickshot #2 Before casting your vote, please take the time to view each entry. (Ctrl+click to open each link in a new tab) I will also ask that the contestants refrain from casting a vote, whether for themselves or another. EDIT: Just occurred to me that a poll probably needs a time limit. We'll use this one:

[CONTEST; 25s prize] Calling out all architects and deed planners
Roame replied to ScarfaceRo's topic in Town Square
I imagined that an actual poll would be fairer than counting "likes", as it is less influenced by the position of the post. EDIT: I have spare time today. Here's a poll.
