[World Building][Development] Northpine Isle

[I Hypnotoad I]

what u mean lower the trees zantas? Shrink them down or lower their numbers?

I believe he means lower the height of some trees. But as well, possibly change the scale slightly. (Ever been in a forest? No tree is exactly the same height)

As for the Mountain part, loving it, but adding some nice icy rocks and cliffs may add a nice effect. (Not all around the peak, possibly only 1-3 cliffs and a few rocks, we don't need it looking like Stormpeaks, amirite?)

Looks nice but i don't think you use all the options with the copy function... if you press edit you have 3 options Random size/Random rotation/random chunk - i don't use that one. If you use them you will see a huge difference and not 100 trees with the same rotation/scale.

Aren't you able to manually scale?

Middle Mouse Button Up = Increase scale was it not?

[LIMEEE]

Ofc you can manually scale but why should he do that when he get random scale with the copy function?

[Aryzar]

i do have all random functions on, i don't want the trees to be extremely different, they do have random rotation, scale and tilt, and yes I did go into a forest and as a matter of fact, i met a brown bear with cubs. And then slowly retreated until I met the forest guard or whatever he's called and he told me that there is a bear the way i came up to him that killed 4 men. And trees grow even taller than the one's i spawned (they are scaled down from their initial size). Gonna make a furbolg camp up the southern mountain.

Some changes in Northpine storyline:

Lore: Northpine, an island that stands in between Kalimdor and Northrend has not since recently been a battlefield between the wolvar and northpine furbolgs. But before that, both occupying races lived in harmony. That until, an evil wolvar shaman invoked a fiery spirit from the elemental plane to take revenge on his kin who exiled him for desertion during a naga assault on the Isle. The fiery spirit however was more interested in living in on Azeroth as a divined god. So he took the evil shaman's body in possession and ordered the snowtree wolvar to bring him offerings, threatening the villagers that he will destroy Northpine if they do not obey. However, the wolvar barely had food for themselves and were forced to turn on the furbolgs and steal their supplies. Since then, the northpine tribe had slowly retreated into the southern mountain and have been reinforcing their fortress there.

And goblins as horde will still be the race that will take on this Island. However furbolg would've been sweet for Alliance.

Edit: I really like how my forest looks similar to the one here in Romania. Which has of course the largest brown bear population in all of Europe.

And does posting the url to a slideshow of images related to the thread as the author of both counterviene the rules? I mean some people are even allowed as I can see to put url's in their signatures.

[Zantas]

You've done a kick ass job and should be proud.

Maybe you could add a bear cave too ^^

[Soluhe]

I Love it
I can't wait to see more of your fantastic work!

[Aryzar]

I will do a cave network guarded by wolvar where the possessed evil shaman will live and two others inside the furbolg fortress.

[LIMEEE]

More bushes and small details and it will be awesome

[Zantas]

How will you work out NPCs when the island is located in the sea, where no mobs exists at the moment?

[Aryzar]

Simple, i will spawn them. And yes I will ultimately spawn little detail but only in some areas because it would become too agglomerated.

EDIT: Also, which race do you prefer to start here: furbolgs or goblins? Answer as a comment or send me a pm, k? I'd personaly say furbolgs fit in way better + goblins starting zone will be soon™ here.

[Zantas]

spawn on server or? cause you can't spawn npc anywhere on retail as you like ^^

I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
All of your edits revolve around goblins. :P
