The Making of: Brittany Wharfs

Great work again. The area looks fantastic.

One thing that I wonder about thoughout the scene are places to sit down. We have community lights. Should there be community benches to sit on here or there?

 

@SorcerousSteve .

What about some wharf lights of some sort or another?




You have a couple of lantern posts, but not many, and not close enough to the sea for reflection.

Even just the paper lanterns that are around Ardoris, or some type of hanging lanterns.

I mentioned in Stahlknecht's thread on Brittany Alleys that it would be a cool effect to see the lights reflected in the sea at night, like in these paintings of London,

 

I so wanted to put streetlamps on the pier of the baron waterfront home but that's not allowed.

 

I agree with this. It looks like we need another town water lot type to keep it from looking too cookie cutter-ish. I'd suggest something like a Brig or a Barquentine or something else up to 40 meters long. The Knight Marshal and Lord Marshal tiers could use a water home option to add some diversity to water lots.

 

Unfortunately those pledges are benefactor and it was stated would not have the waterfront rewards.

I haven't read if Port will make other waterfront homes.

 

Yea unfortunaly that ship has sailed I believe..
seewhatididthere...

 

I'd like to see a water lot home that was nothing but a dock that players could "live" on or under if they wished. I think that would be popular for some people, especially when boats got put into the game during EP2.

 

That's a good point. Even though they also exist as Founder/Royal Founder accounts as well, they are still Benefactor accounts.

 

Great stuff! I cannot wait to see a top down view of the Wharfs!

 

UPDATE ON BRITTANY WHARFS

Hey guys, SorcerousSteve here once again to give you the latest scoop on the Brittany Wharfs. Now this weeks update on the Wharfs is pretty jammed pack with screenshots as the map approaches completion for this upcoming release; including a top down view of player properties and the overall map layout.





Overlooking the Harbor, a protective fort looks out to Sea protecting the vital trade market of the Brittany Wharfs.


Water communities in the northside of the Brittany Wharfs. With 30 Water Lots the Brittany Wharfs is a must go to place for Water Property lovers.


The Warehouse District pictured right below the gate to Brittany. Rumors abound of a black market in the area filled with notorious activity and contraband smuggling, the dark side of the merchants and trade that keep the Brittany Wharfs alive.


Waterfront property right next to the Harbor.


Merchants who make their lives on bargain and trade live in the Wharfs propering from the rich trade in the area.


Rusty Satyr Inn.
A place for merchants and sailors to sit down and have a drink after a long day at the Harbor.






Open areas for players are plentiful in the Wharfs from outdoor water patios to small stages all focused on providing the best commodity for players.
On the upper left you can catch a glimpse of a Duke Island Lot.

Oh Hellz Yeah!

 

bravo!

 

This layout feels like my avatar will really experience the terrain as she climbs the hills to visit a friend and searches the waterfront markets for those imported goods. The diversity is delightful, @SorcerousSteve .

I really like the Inn sign and hope for more like these, perhaps with the name of the establishment.

 

Awesome sir! Love the round steps and other walkways and such

 

Yay! Nice!

 

Is that the first Duke island?

 

Duke Island and LOTM Island Lots are getting proliferated throughout the world as we speak. Expect to see more at a coastal town near you!

 

I love all the mentions of different attractions in this scene. I also enjoy the above camera view that shows many of the player houses facing the streets and lined up for trade. Well done!

 

A masterpice. I love the warfs already.
Just a small negative feedback.....that comes a little late but i didn't think about it before today....
We are talking about the warfs and we only have 2 citysized water lots?
