Highsteppe Makeover Preview

It definitely looks more like a village, very nice job, also with the houses :slight_smile: !
The only thing, for the older players towns like guild city already involve a lot of running around corners (too much for my taste) to do basic, daily chores. Now for example with the infusion ability after an evening of raiding when everyone is tired thereā€™s at least another 15 mins needed to hop around guild city corners and get to the infusion specialist to merge new gear; same thing also delays raids if people are not done before.
So I hope there are still paths connecting everything in HS and vendors which donā€™t require loading times to get to them, so the amount of waiting and running - for example, to check the market, coming from the player house - does not increase much.

Nice job!

But watch out for the corners! I hate the first corner in Guild City behind the entrance at the left side. I stuck there every time!

Looks amazing! Keep it up Guys, canā€™t wait to see it myself soon :smiley:

Looking really sleek and nice! Although I see that the vendors will be in a rounded type form and I feel it would be better as a straight front to back alley. Even though it isnā€™t finalized itā€™s great either way.

Watched it a second time, I love seeing that there are signs now, however its already difficult to read font in game. Is this taken into consideration? ā€¦meaning will font be large enough and font clear enough to be legible from a distance?

In the video its clear, but the ā€œscreen doorā€ on my vive might make it hard to read.

Holy! This is some awesome work! Canā€™t wait for that! :slight_smile:

This looks amazing, I canā€™t wait!

My only real piece of feedback (and this might just be a placeholder thing) is having a sign that says Apprentice Blacksmith. I know thatā€™s the name of the NPC, but it seems like an odd thing to put on a sign. Maybe those repair and sell vendors need a different name, or just ā€œBlacksmithā€, I dunno.

I was thinking what a cool are this is, and it turns out to be our new highsteppe. Looks dashing and I can definitely see this becoming iconic like Whiterun in skyrim. While I am happy about the change I cannot help but feel a strong attachment for the old highsteppe which I used to be in since pre-alpha. I will try and somehow immortalize it through screenshots or something :slight_smile:

I know the alterations of existing content to look this good is meant to expand from highsteppe but Iā€™d like for the consideration of timing both Guild City and Highsteppe remodels together. I aim to have a stall of my own soon enough and if Highsteppe looks this good before Guild City does, then I think there would be even more of a lacking client-base to purchase from the Guild City stalls.
