    Folks will yell scream and point fingers but it was too super mario for me after a bit. The wall maze was awesome but the jumping thing made me go screw it .. I hate jumpers . .its just me. I liked what I saw ... but when I had to have other things trained that are not part of my set or be a super mario gal .. I lost interest since I was with 1.5 groups and only 1 group will get xp and all the other loot issues .. I think it looks great, I think the mechanics of what I saw down to a few platforms was great, but investing my time for nothing of signigance with no real loot tables left my emtitled ass going meh.

    Thanks for the kind words! The Rise was actually a map I made to test out what we could do with 100% existing kit pieces and also to test out existing AI in more interesting scenarios. Sannio did some clean up on it and also added a few more critters. You can look forward to more maps like this in the future. :) Also, for R29 I plan on making a PVP version of The Rise with a number of modifications and calling it The Fall.

    @Lace, There actually is some serious loot after the main boss fight, twice as large as anything else in the game. There are also several chests hidden throughout the scene including one that includes some of the best loot in game but the loot table is based on the day of the week. I have to do something to keep you guys guessing and learning!

    Fun stuff overall.

    Troll seems to bug into walls a good bit which is unfortunate.

    @Chris We must have spent atleast 4 hours exploring and still had a lot to discover, that is awesome how you set up the loot to work. We did not find any of the chests you speak of, but we got years to figure that out. I cant wait to see what else you have in store for us.

    I found a room down there with 5 portals in it. I clicked on one and it took me down to some "Cave Tunnels" with crystals and a few copper nodes to mine... but they were well protected by some undead and Bark Corpions. Those buggers had some nasty poison. :mad:

    Oh, and when I finally found my way back out (thanks to Va'Lor Ravenclaw who I met down there) I had to run through the dragon room. If we had a bigger party and weren't just looking to get out of there we might have attempted... but we knew we had no shot when it one-shotted Va'Lor as he was passing through. :eek:

    I started mapping some portions of The Rise but it's so huge and multi-layered that it will be difficult. I will definitely be spending some time exploring down there for sure though!

    I was wondering if they could be tamed. Might have been the new top pet if it could. :(

    We'll almost certainly make a tamable version of all logical creatures. If we don't @Sindariya will send me hate mail for ever...

    Since none of the new animals of R27 was be able to tame (can't trigger taming) why did you hope those of Rise would be. Bug is written.

    Come on, not for ever. :p But you could buy yourself time by giving me those new maze walls of Rise. The maze was just to easy to solve.

    New creatures not being tamable is because I "Ninja'd" them in without anyone knowing. We'll get pet versions in for R29. Then people will be fighting over who can capture bark scorpions. For those that haven't seen them, they are cute little suckers, only the size of a house cat.

    He makes the bark scorpions sound cute but don't let that fool you, these guys are dangerous. Oh, and if I were a tamer, I'd want one.
