City of Eternal Star Preview I

[Magicnick]

City of Eternal Star
World Event, Raid Content.

Hey everyone. I'm excited to announce a new zone!

City of Eternal Star

The city of Eternal Star remains as the last "major" zone to be added to the Outwar world. It will cover levels 55 - 70.

Development began about 1 month ago, and we are expecting our first "phase" release sometime this spring.

Phase 1:

Phase 1 will consists of heavy RAID content.

After completing the Kix Woods questline, you head north to find the City of Eternal Star (CoES). When you arrive, you find the city has been overrun with massive raid gods. Take back the city, by destroying the gods, and saving the civilians.

CoES Trivia
- CoES will launch with 10 new raid gods
- Each god has MULTIPLE item loot tables
- New Epic Quest
- New Boss Spawn
- First progressive "crew" based questline

Phase 2:
After phase 1 is released, I will begin development on CoES phase 2, which will be the single player storyline. Details are still very slim at the moment.

NOTE: It will not be necessary to complete "phase 1" as a player, to access the single player missions.

That's all for now, before I go, I leave you with a sneak peak at the CoES world map (first sketch). Enjoy!

wow nice!!!! good job IM so excited!!!

[SkatrBill]

why do idiots have to quote such a long post like this... you sir, fail...

update looks nice :)... glad to see ur 'working' ? i guess lol

[Redemption]

Are the raids needing to be spawnd like normal gods or is it going to be like set/quest raids where they are either respawned in about 5 mins or they just go away when they've been killed.

And once you kill them can you just keep killing them over and over because I don't think I'll do it for awhile if people are just going to camp them.

[majesTic]

please dont make the items that drop from the gods player bound..its whats killing the OW market

[SkatrBill]

might i add... these raids better be 5 mans.... because if ur relying on 40 people in 1 crew all having kix done... ur basically making another windstrike (something that can't be beaten with out some sort of glitch lol...)

im lvl 70, and i haven't done kix because i don't need the EXP... so i hope... that you guys are smart, and don't make 30 or 20 man raids here... cause that would be over the top retarded lol.

[madmuis]

Sounds great! Looking forward to the CoES release.

[nhake]

Bacaba 5 man type raids or more 5-20 people type raids?

What is mean by multi item loot tables? I assume this means skill orbs augments items quest items drop from it?

I like the crew questline theme and should be fun :)

Well you would think that you would need to have KW done to do the CoES quests and plus if you don't need the exp from kix whats the point of doing CoES?

And by you saying you don't need the exp does that mean you've gotten every enhancement possible?

[timboy]

i agree especially when your th first to post it's just stupid and pointless. also can't wait for this to be released sounds great

[tmeps619]

Sounds Amazing, Looks Amazing, Here Hoping There No NERF's This Time :D Well Done Nick Looks Amazing Can't Wait :D Keep Us Updated ;)

[GAGE]

it looks good, but i agree i hope everything aint gonna be player bound because there are far to many itemes that get stuck in our vaults and we get no resale vaule from cause u cant even use it on your multis

whats the new epic quest thou? care to share any light on it, i just hope its not another stupid blade quest, 2 is more than enough

[Exbyte]

everyone keeps calling it CoES but the pic says CotES. whats that about?

[DartKills]

Looking forward to it as soon as I can get sov rifle (killed HM 8Xs) so far

[eminem50]

i dont think it should be another add-on to eob/kix. sov items were already a epic fail why not move on from that n let everyone forget how that turned out. to do eob/kix just so u can do some crew quest lines is kinda ridiculous unless the items are the bomb and ur giving like double the exp from kix

[7h0n]

hey, new content is always good :-) but how about making the items RGA bound instead of character bound? that way at least we can use them on our multis

would rather see the solo missions come first for those of us with ferocity skills, it would also open up the option of items/ keys/ LARGE boost in EXP/ somethin new for misc skills maybe (i can hope) for use in the RAIDs

[fireburns227]

Don't overpower the gods though.. make them simialar to like nessum and stuff only lower/raise it for the people required to be in the raid.

agree with the first part.. explain what you mean with the ferocity part

[xHuNt3r]

what about the scarred horizon?

[gtrplyr]

agree with the first part.. explain what you mean with the ferocity part

since he already has those skills trained he wouldnt wanna reset skills to do the crew part then reset again to do the solo part

[millojd]

Heres and idea. HOw about you spend even half the time you do developing new content on fixing the current contents issues Like kix woods. Which without, all those waiting to finish kix woods can not even enter CoES.

[makavelitehdon]

Looks and sounds good, hopefully will get released soon lol

[BlackRebel]

i just hope that you HAVE to complete eob and kix woods before you can enter the area, not add a teleport so people who complain they didn't do kix woods cause there was nothing for them have to finish it before taking part of the raids and new content.

[DartKills]

yes finish kix woods prior to doing new quests so as to prolong some of the elitists(u know who u r) from racing through it.

It might actually make some crews reform and shake it up some

[DemonicRayn]

well you gatta get the radiation detector thing at the end of Kix to get into CoES so all those high level slackers will have some work to do :)

[ReligionX]

i just hope that you HAVE to complete eob and kix woods before you can enter the area, not add a teleport so people who complain they didn't do kix woods cause there was nothing for them have to finish it before taking part of the raids and new content.

"05/29/2009 - City of the Eternal Star Phase 1 is now underway. Be the first to battle down the new Guardians tearing up the city!

For those of you who have not completed the Kix Woods - Buy a City of the Eternal Star Supply Crate from the treasury for only 260 points! It will grant access to the City of the Eternal Star for 8 hours and comes with Strength in Numbers Potion, Super Rage Potion, and an Olympian Juicebox.

Note - You will not be able to access Kix Woods without a Radiation Prototype."

Anyone figure out why it's not a Radiation Helmet Prototype? "Stick this radiation thing on your head. Let me know if you feel vomitose..." -Rindo Tan

[Gwydion]

Looks awesome so far nick great job and keep it up im looking forward to more previews perhaps :p

[mahtrist]

So what you're saying is unless it's easy you're not interested. I am Lvl 58 right now and I think that level 70's have it relatively easy with being able to over power themselves with Celest and Upgrades unavailible to anyone not 70.

20, 30, 40 and even 50 man raids would atleast give you lvl 70 guys something to work at instead of monopolising the game the way you do right now.

Windstrike is the ONLY thing lvl 70's can't beat with ease and that's a good thing.

Personally Nick I think that you should introduce raids that have to have lvl 70's do some work for a change and actually have to use skills, Maybe that would make COES a little harder for us, But it means that all the lvl 70's can't just run through it in a few days and get bored again.

Why is that 5/29/2009? Atm, it's only 3/15/2009...
Can you see the future or something?

While i agree with the point your trying to make, the way you went about making it was totally absurd. MOST lv 70s worked their asses off to get where they are now...be it leading 4 different crews that camp all kinds of gods, or having the most exp in the game.

But regardless of the way you stated your point, it was a good one lol

[BlackRebel]

I really would like to know what's the member cap of the raids.

[Psyphur]

im only level 64 but to get to this point ive worked my ass off to get where im at. id easily be close to 70 if i didnt piss so many crews of with being a hitlister and war leader. We do work our ass off and if we dont want to do something then dont try and judge us. weve done more work in this game then you ever will. its so much easier for you newer guys. you didnt have to deal with gov and ele being the best set in the game that was obtainable. you didnt deal with having to log 200 people in a raid just to win a noc raid. you weren there when sigil was whoever got there 200 in. you now are in an era where 5 can beat sigil just 30 have to be in.

how is this relevant at all?

read the page before and maybe youll understand.

I wouldn't really go as far as saying lvl 70's worked there asses off because it really doesn't take that much effort to turn typpo on and as for working for there items I wouldn't go that far either most lvl 70's have spent a good amount of $ on this game.

I know this is off topic but I love it when people say lvl 70's worked there asses off to get where they are.

[medman]

dunno if it's only me or not, but although Kix looked great and was pretty nice, I hated the maps because it wasn't cut and dry easy to follow squares like DC. I realize EOB was similar, but EOB was alot easier visually. I just hope CoES don't have as crappy navigation maps as kix

[BlackRebel]

it's not that easy to naviagate through radiated woods...

[Psyphur]

the map looks like it may be easier to navigate but alot bigger. this is gonna take forever to get through hopefully the solo content will take forever!!!!

[SkySanto]

Looking good, i hope its 5 man gods though

[Exbyte]

I like how this update got over shadowed by the outwar social thing. give us more info on coes to get us more interested in it again.

[Egnar]

As much as this place seems cool the overwhelming failure and major disappointment that is Kixx due to the obviously rushed and lackluster amount of content and the huge controversy over the Sovereign set and its unnecessarily brutal nerf (which I've yet to receive any of the promised support for!) I find it INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to put any stock, hype or care into this new content - Such a shame.

Then let us hope this can be the first of many they actually care about making worth a damn. I'm still not holding my breath but miracles do happen.

[Invaderzim]

does anyonek now if it offers items and if so how good they will be?

[Psyphur]

lol this is the first preview so unless we get an admin to weigh in you know as much as we do lol.

I tend to believe this will be the promised support for SOV. Maybe reforged, to be as the original was intended. Probably the drop rates will be so low that none will do it. Except the people with lvl 60 multis.

[Exitium]

I just hope they release new Gods along with the City, the game is dying. And not do what they did with Sov and kill it.

[gtrplyr]

I just hope they release new Gods along with the City, the game is dying. And not do what they did with Sov and kill it.

it says they are releasing 10 new gods in the first phase

[Nikkster]

Awesome! Haven't been there yet though, but when I can, I will! :)

[ItachiUchiha]

Looking good, i hope its 5 man gods though

I hope so too even though, i'm gonna have to end up going through all this again with 4 more multies as well as finish EoB and do Kixx with my main account but what the hell. It will be worth the attempt.......hopefully

[Nikkster]

I wanna see this, anyone know of there's a level limit to pass the city?

[makavelitehdon]

I wanna see this, anyone know of there's a level limit to pass the city?

It will cover levels 55 - 70.

When is the second preview going to be up?

Actually buddy, If you're replying to me.

Remember the names Thanatos, SilentRage, Nosferatu, Giavani?
I played this game from Beta CL through RP Through Torax being made and ppl being given a shitty shield to move over.

I was here when Ele Set's 1st came out and When raiding was first designed, Right the way through the original Wilderness when you had to collect 4 gems to obtain power upgrades.

I was here through all the times ow issued a sorry stone for messing up.

I was here when H&E, Sanctuary, Eternity we're the only crew that were talked about and everyone wanted to be in.

I was here through the original war system and then the updated one that lasted on a mere few months.

I was here when you had to make separate accounts before they introduced the RGA for multi's.

So just because I have a lvl lower then yours does not mean I don't know what I am talking about.

After I deleted my RGA Most of the names I used got picked up by ppl wanting to be me.

As for not knowing what I am talking about. Done said what I need to say.

Pwned much?

Yeah i do remember everything you said but you i do not remember. I agree with some of your points but people saying that higher level accounts didnt work for what we got is bullshit. they donmt understand the work to get here. even the work of some to click the dcaa is still alot lol. And i know there are alot of people that are lower levels than me that had to start over hell i am one of them. But trashing people who have been around longer than us and done more is just plain stupid because without the people that work at the there would be no game nuff said.

[sargeras]

According to this guy, if you started clicking start sooner than everyone else, you're eligible for special treatment.

Oh word?

[BlackRebel]

i honestly don't think anyone cares about how "old school" you are or how good you were.

But i do know this thread is about CoES... make your own thread to talk about your "good ol" outwar days.

[NiMoKe]

Mark, soon have just a small update for us soon? please :P

[Psyphur]

According to this guy, if you started clicking start sooner than everyone else, you're eligible for special treatment.

Oh word?

dont remember writing in their once there should be special treatment but like they say respect your elders!

[abandit99]

i do hope CoES wont burn our rage as much as kix and eyes of burn did.

[Psyphur]

agreed getting all those items burn so much rage i thought id never finish them and i have 26k rage lol.

[yoavbd12345]

Preview III any time soon ? Or better off, the actual release :P
It has been a while without any new information. . .

* Edit: Didn't notice I wrote it on the first preview... If some mod can move it, it'll be nice... If not it doesn't really matter... I still want Preview III and more info :D

[collydog50]

yea i agree...mayb it was gunna be in last fridays patch notes...hint hint :P

Bullshit man. That shield was badass when it first came out!

I can't wait for this though, the crew quest line, a new epic quest (speaking of which, does outwar consider eob / kix an epic quest?) and a new server spawn! Finally...a new server spawn..

[champ]

i just noticed there's an underwater area, are there swimming/scubadiving lessons reserved for this event, or will i have to try to not drown.

Also if my character dies under water, do i lose any exp when revived, or do you not get revived. Im so confused...

[LegatoBluesummers]

Where is this underwater area?

[champ]

district 5

[GAGE]

LOL @ champ

is eternal mountain the next update? as it dont look like we go in there at all

[dep]

agreed getting all those items burn so much rage i thought id never finish them and i have 26k rage lol.

i know that feeling, i only had 13k :D took me a straight 2 weeks for kix (not including ring and belt) and i still dont have that dumb weapon yet :(

[makavelitehdon]

Would be nice to get like a day advance warning when this is coming out, as its a crew thing so people can plan their day, already know some people who will be taking a day off and stuff, skipping school rofl, so would be nice like get a warning a day before so peope who are planning to make a team, can come online at the same time and start it
