The art is good. Really good.
I will continue to be sad that it doesn't look at all plague-like, and making it yellow really doesn't help when Plague territory is red/brown with bright green accents. Or hiding the couple of bones behind enemies and foreground. It's not even a swamp now, just a forest with (maybe) some water in, probably during a bit of a drought.

Talking of which, is there a consensus on whether it's a mud/dirt path or water? There's ripples at the back round the trees, but none around the bones and there's grass growing in the middle of it.

i love how the two bones and three mushrooms are drawn in that artwork like an excuse to say "see! it's plague! it got mushrooms and bones, what else do you want!"
still green hell, and still looking like the shrieking wilds in nature instead of any area that could plausibly be in plague's territory.
like don't get me wrong i'm not one of those "Staff HATES plague >:(" weirdos, but the fact that plague really has no actual venue to explore its aesthetic is always making me a bit disappointed. just make the Outback, but with dark red sand, an oppressive sky and less shrubbery if it's so hard.

finally I might actually get a use for those dissolution tinctures that I've been having in my hoard for gods know how long

I dont mind the art change but don't the devs dare to mess up my mire flyer with adding new mobs that i can't one hit KO with a eliminate or scratch eliminate with a stealth buff of their hp that only leaves them with a sliver of HP, (LOOKING AT YOU GOLEM WORKSHOP)

Also why they are ignoring the scorched forest and bamboo falls??? Those venues have been around longer than the mire and NEVER got an art update.

You all have my sympathy; your dom team needs to clean up their house. It's tough because talking to your dom team members and making your voice heard de-anons you, but it's also more credible than anonymous posts on AR since it's 'proof' you're in Lightning. It's a tough spot to be in and I feel really bad for you guys.

u take that back right now

The fact that plague really has no actual venue to explore its aesthetic is always making me a bit disappointed. just make the Outback, but with dark red sand, an oppressive sky and less shrubbery if it's so hard.

Staff never learns, lol.

They have a really bad track record of making a new venue or update an existing one before RoR, and it's NEVER plague related- or they try to say Mire is Plague (It's not, not when Plague doesn't have wetlands/swamps, but Nature DOES) and then they get up in arms about the resulting drama.

(And now I wish I'd made a square for this, because they do this a lot lol)

Honestly it's not like they need to full out go into the whole intestines-blood-impaledthings-poolsofmutatedcreatures-route. The abiding boneyard already offers so much chance to make something very nice and plaguey without going hardcore body horror, think Mad Max, survival, harshness of the land. But nnnoopeeeeee.

sa, shit you just reminded me actually and you're right - redrock cove, crystal pools, arena expansion, forgotten cave expansion. boreal woods expansion might also count. all literally just before RoR. shoutouts to Thunderhead Savannah for coming immediately _after_ RoR tho rofl

honestly, might be that they picked and chose what they felt more inspired for? Or going by where most people tend to hang out...

maybe im expecting too much, but itd be cool if the art gradually became more plague-y over the next few days, kinda like how baldwin's bogsneak update took some time for him to breed change.

Oh definitely. There are MULTIPLE facets of Plague they could go with if they regret the rot/decay/gross shit. They could go with the barren wastelands of red clay and the green sky with stunted, warped plants; endless bone yards and gorges filled with simple green sludge (radioactive green to imply virulence), and exactly- use Mad Max survivalist shit to amp up that Survival At All Costs theme.

All i care about is if they fuck with my mire flyer. I don't have time nor energy to fuck around with different builds, and mire is my go to for max profit leveling. -_-

They're backing off on the suspension claim. That's good. But I have seen multiple folks say that the faked message was from Ava.

What is this shit?

AYRT

honestly same, maybe its childish but if they change the flow of mire fodder training ill probs have to take a break from exalting in general lol i dont have the energy to rework my approach

OP

Ty, DA and mindless! :)

no problem ^_^

You also would have to do it more than once to get punished, I got a light warning once in my inbox and had dragons renamed by the staff when I mass bought a bunch of fodder and didn't realize some of them had inappropriate names because I logged off for the day immediately after. And like, the message itself tells you, don't do it again, you might get punished. They wouldn't suspend you over a one-time offense.

it's canonically in plague but it's where nature's embassy is/was, an abiding boneyard venue would be so cool though. or something that looks like quarantine zone 128

AYRT
yeah the "can't log in" screenie was also posted by Ava. In the version I saw, her name wasn't censored out as it was on the SMR post. (https://i.imgur.com/YvlBbdV.png)

Note that while both those screenies I posted say "today", they were taken at different times and thus their timestamps do not reflect the actual time that passed.

from what aequorin said, the message you get when they rename your dragons isn't a warning, but just a notice that they renamed the dragons. they can tell exactly who actually did the naming. so you never actually got any kind of 'mark' or anything against your account for buying prenamed fodder, at least based off their response.

that said, i've seen the message that gets sent, and it's very confusing and easily read as a warning. they really should reword it to be more clear it's only a notice, and if you didn't name that dragon yourself, you're not at risk of suspension or actions or whatever. or better yet, if they can tell who actually named the dragon and the notice is for the unwary buyer, why mention suspensions and infractions at all? surely they can send a whole different warning to the actual person that named it.

Crystal Pools was launched during Starfall. I remember being annoyed that they dropped an Arcane venue just a day or so before the festival ended.

Hmmm I just went down the list of announcements and compared dates only a few times.
Unfortunate for Plague and Arcane then at the same time, I guess. HOnestly the only thing i can remember from the crystal pools drop is how I hated the venue lol. it's just. ugly.
honestly I'd love to hear a favourite vs least favourite coli venue input from this com maybe, based only on the venues aesthetic, not how good you can grind there or so.

blooming grove and crystal pools (sorry anon) best aesthetic, arena just feels boring to me

Harpy's Roost and Redrock Cove are my favorites.
Golem Workshop has the worst venue aesthetics for me, it just makes me feel like everything is inside a tiny box.

BINGO
