BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

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.

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

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.

sa, boreal woods and scorched forest are my favs, rainsong jungle and crystal pools my least fav!

Harpy's Roost and Thunderhead Savanna are my faves, Arena is my least fave. I haven't even been to Forbidden Portal at all but the eldritch horror theme of the fams isn't my jam and squicks me at worst. (I can see why it appeals to people who do like that aesthetic)

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.

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

Mire is the Plague venue because it has by far the highest proportion of Plague mobs, not because the venue art is Plague themed. Would be nice if those two went together, but.

Counterpoint: I appreciate that the art is slightly more Plague-like than it used to be. There's more of an orange-yellow-red tint to the colours, those rotting tree stumps in the middle look kind of like weird Plague growths, and there are two bones and three mushrooms more than there were yesterday.

It's still not a ton, but it's something?

I still hope Plague gets their postapocalyptic deep desert venue eventually, though! Or an autumn forest full of red leaves, mushrooms and decaying plants?
