Game of thrones seven kingdoms (the MMO)

[VarrKhaitan]

so the a preview is up and im suprised how old it looks. (I know it barely in alpha stat)

http://gameofthronesmmo.com/

the animation looks a bit odd to be kind, and it seems that a lot of the models is placeholder items.
But I do hope its not going to fail or be a pay-to-win game.
and has anybody played their old titles, made by Bigpoint, becouse they look like crap!

[Vahir]

This was not suggested in the other thread. >.>

[VarrKhaitan]

you gotter give me a hand here, I have not be so much online on this forum lately.
so what thread?

[King Of Toast]

I played bigpoints other game, BSG online and it sucked (to say the least). I doubt this will be very good. Dont get me wronge i would love a GOOD game of thrones mmo but when i look at seven kingdom all i see is a cash grab. If you want a good mmo play guild wars 2 when it comes out at the end of this month.

[Lord AcidRocker]

I am interested in guild wars 2 but my comp specs mighy not be up to par

[Brenden_Tully]

Guild wars 2? i have been asked to play but personally i dont like games like WOW or diablo. is it really that simmiliar clicking game?

[Brenden_Tully]

Is it just me or is the man on the throne for the trailer wearing LOTR elvish armour? Rivendell (the gold ones)

[Toho]

The stupid HBO Lannister armor is in it This game could be interesting if they would just take a more book friendly approach to it as the W:TW team has done.

Son of Mars -

I am sorry buddy, but why the hell do you all hate the HBO's Lannister armor?

I personally think it looks very good and suitable for the Richest kingdom in westeros.

What does the book describe their armor as? I hear all this talk about the team here staying true to the book instead of the tv series but the team wont release ANY shots of lannister armor. If it turns out to be like the other groups and standard Medieval armor i will be sorely disappointed.

As i said, Lannisters are the richest house, they would have some pretty mean armor.


Not meaning to sound harsh here, just Very curious.

That armor looks like some eastern samurai weird fantasy mix. The lannisters in the books use the same equipment as the other houses- Mail and leather for the common soldiers, plate and mail for knights and nobles. Some lannister men-at-arms or household troops use helmets with lion crests, which would look more awesome than that ugly fantasy stuff.

And we have shown no lannister units so far because they haven`t been done yet.

The reason you have not seen any lannister picks so far, is becuase they are working at one house at a time, starting with the starks and i think ending with the lannisters.(someone feel free to correct me if im wronge)

[Lordinquisitor]

Nah, each modeller & skinner usually has his own house to design, we work on several at the same time more or less. At the moment the process is pretty convoluted- One of our members can only modell, and that well, while another skins his models. Murf is the jack of all trades and toho used some of murfs models to create a base for other factions etc.

The lannisters will likely be done last, though. One of our old members, edric, would like to do them- But doesn`t have the time atm. Since the others are busy working on other factions we can afford to wait for him- And if he doesn`t find the time another will finish them once the others are finished.

Sounds kind of confusing. But whatever your guys plan is, it seems to be working. Keep up the good work and thank you for the info bro

Dont worry i understand It can be difficult not just getting but holding a mod team full time. The work you guys have already done is beyound amazing!

I am asking what the non HBO Lannister description is exactly?

Alot of people on here bag out the HBO version, which i am sure they would have shown to Martin during development and was approved. But no one is telling what the 'book' or lore version is of the armour?

Could you Please enlighten me

Toho summed up my dislike for it. It looks like someone who had a thing for samurai took gothic armor and combined it to make this. Also, the color scheme has a bit too much black for Lannister armor (i.e. their colors are gold and yellow). Also, the Lannisters were rich, but Tywin wasn't going to blow his house's cash on giving joe the peasant plate armor so even if it was in game you wouldn't be fielding too many of them. There is a submod out for the HBO stuff so perhaps they could reskin units in the HBO style which the main team cannot do due to copyright reasons and most of them just don't like what HBO has done. Hope I satiated your curiosity.

The same as that of the other southern houses. A mottled mixture of mail, leather, brigandines, cloth and rare oddments of plate.

There is no grand, great unified "dress code" for soldiers. Levies have to use the equipment they have at home, if they are lucky their lord gives them some leather or old helmets, and have to scavenge their armor from the fallen.

Professional soldiers are equipped by the lords and at least have often some mail etc. but even for them there is no uniform- They get what the lord has available and have to scavenge missing pices from the fallen.

Only rich and important houses can equip some of their soldiers with something resembling an uniform. Like, the Lannister soldiers who used lion crested helmets, or the respective household guards of a faction.

That`s another reason why i hate the lannister armor in the series. (First, it doesn`t fit in the world and looks like some generic fantasy stuff, second PLATE ARMOR FOR NORMAL SOLDIERS?!) It makes one believe that some factions kept a huge standing army with organized equipment. But this wasn`t the case.

And martin stated that the books and the series should be viewed as two different entities.

So, Lannisters aside, I guess we are all in agreement that this new Game Of Thrones MMO will suck?
