New playable race: Viamontians and our 6th character slots

[DadgaSilverhand]

Hm, that is good news, but i have a questions for Devs and Mods.....

most folks have full 6th character slots, and possiblity on all servers if they do have other alts. some folks didnt want to delete their most valued toons to make a reroll. it would force most of them to dump items from the other toons - mules, or retired toons, or IRL relative's toons whom played on Uncle's account or whatever.

Viamontians will have their own heritage skills and starting weapon, but not yet what they have until expansion is finally released sometime in 1st quarter of 2005. Hm?

i am not asking for 7th slot or 10th slot, but it going to be hard to pick and delete, unless you (Devs) got plans.

now, that will be cool to see "French/Italian" flavor towns, and i hope i see roman armors and helms, or if possible to pick spanard's conquestator helms from 1492's era.

it look like their structures (French/Italian) buildings will be common throughout all over the Dereth, rebuilt somehow to remind me of AC 2's structures, it what make me think about them, so i think it is going right directions with retexturized buildings.
i think they are "game-wise" as engineer or builter or crafter class compared to Gharu'ndim's tinker skills.

viamont toast!
*chuckles* We'll get new racial cooking skills I bet, French/Italian cuisine. New uses for those Niffis.


I have several lowbie mules I could easily axe for a new race.

I wonder if it would be possible for a person to say, take an aluvian character they have, and 'defect' to the Viamonts, so to speak, rather than having to reroll?
( maybe a tiny aluvian only quest )

Dear god, I hope the racial weapon isn't spear lol...

[Metonic]

wel ldidnt that guy in the font quest change from aluvian to Sho? or did he just change his beliefs? lol Anywya they wont be able to change how u look until they get plastic surgeroy lol or they coulda have virindi that can alter the way you look.

1. Many, if not most, of us (myself included) need to do a serious inventory review/purge if we still have an inventory slot/pack space problem post-addition of the 6th char slot.

2. While I have to be as (or more) aggressive than almost anyone else about developing char rosters on every server, even I have at least one slot available on each server (in at least one of my 2 accounts)...with the possible exception of WE.

3. If your aggregate char rosters for all servers/accounts are full. you cannot possibly have a "close attachment" to all those chars, even if you've played the game for anywhere close to the 4.5 years that I have.

4. If any one or more of the above put you in an otherwise impossible/irreconcilable position, the solution is presumab;y obvious...you just need to plan on getting another account if you "just have to have" one or more new race chars on a particular server or multiple/all servers.

the new town pics were awsome. the shops looked great . fountian pic was to die for. and when you see there racial armor you will wear nothing else. and the new eater monster that goes along with the new land mass viamontia. you will be pleasently surprised.

[Shultz]

Ayreon, where can I see the pics? Can you PM me the URL, please?

[cstanleytech]

Well I am kinda hoping the new race cannot use any magic except portal magic myself.
The reason why is I feel that the devs could perhaps use this new race as a melee/missle class and give them a bonus to such skills and make them independant of magic and not need it to survive as much as the current 3 races need it.
Time shall tell however if its even possible.

Somewhere I read that the NPC's on Viamont will be bad guys. Does this mean that the Viamont race will be something like the Horde on WoW, they will be the bad buys vs our good guys? They will have their own island/islands to retreat to. Just a thought. ;)

[Ghetteran]

Nah, it will be like King Arthur looking for the holy grail and being taunted by the french guy in the tower I think *grins*

I have another questions for Scenario regarding new playable heritage people, Viamonts.

since, those 3 original heritage already have their own Greater Shadow Armors, Virindi Masks, and soon to be announce "Heritage Weapon" starting skill.

i am aware of alot of artwork involving with "Viamont" GSx...
Gold/Purple (under 30th lvl version) Scintilling Gem, other weaker version from Glittering Gems, and very small infused gems.

+30 level GSx version, 3 dye colors (blue, green, and red)
+50 level Sharded GSx versions, 3 dye trims colors (purple, red, lapyan)
and that is 3 basic GXs, 4 GSx dyed and grey version, 4 sharded GSx (non-dyed gold, 3 dyes). that is 11 armors to choose from.

and now more headaches on Virindi masks,

Master Mask (Indigo) 3 basic heritage mask
Profatrix Mask (black) 3 masks
Consul Mask (rusty tone red) 3 masks

wow add 3 more masks base on those helms.

if i were playing and i did like to get those versions of GSx and some masks so they dont get "left-out"

that is 14 items to design in all or more if i miss other heritage items.

so i am asking one more time, to Scenario, Ibn, or Dev staffs.

"Will they get their own versions? if they do and still in planning stages and somewhat in time frame. i just hope they do.

i do believe there is pretty good story arc after this year festival months is over.

[DadgaSilverhand]

please response to my questions about GSx "Viamont heritage" armor and Virindi masks.

if you devs/scenario just let us know if these are already in plans.

i dont know if they are ready yet, but would be perfect for next year Oct 2005 festival would be okay or unless already done early.

sorry to "bump", still wondering what up and i am aware of alot of other "unanswered" posts are being work on topic of ToD.
