Whew! I've got a few folks to thank on this one!  Taking a lot of raw info and compressing it down to a readable format is never easy; especially when the guy putting in the ideas keeps coming up with more as the edit process continues! Kudos to the team for this one; it really cleaned up well!    February 29, 2018 [  ] Added Technology to Kilnholdt Original draft by @Foe Critiques and edits by @Xathas, @RuddyF, @Kmartinator, and @Kreaden Additional discussion of Runtzenfaust with above + @Aerun
  For those who missed the note on Discord; the old nations' [Non-Playable Nations] section has gotten a rework! Hover over the nation to see it's subcategories! I'll be taking the time to update the main Lorelanding as well with a similar update as soon as I can Thank you @HaedHutner for helping me debug; and sorry for all the inability with discord Code markdown!

After almost a week of downtime, we are finally back up. Now I go and take painkillers for a headache...

Hi Everyone,     Today, as promised we talk about armor and weapons and what we want to do with them skin wise.  So first an overview of the tiers and materials:   Armor   Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Light Hide Leather Aramid Medium Chainmail Scale Lamellar Heavy Plate Crystaline Argentate   Weapons List of the Weapons: Dagger Sword Axe Mace Polarm Staff Throwing Weapons (axes, knifes etc) Crossbow Bow All Weapons have the following tiers: Tier 1: Wood Tier 1.5: Bronze Tier 2: Iron Tier 2.5: Steel Tier 3: Crystaline Tier 3.5: Argentate   Requirements for making skin packs We need skin packs that include all armor but not technically all weapons. For weapons you can combine tier 1 and 1.5, 2 and 2.5, 3 and 3.5 into each one skin for the pack (of course if you want to differentiate even the half levels you are welcome to it. That means a normal skin pack has skins for the following:  Each Armor type, in total 9 Each half weapon level type, in total 27 (if you want to make unique ones for the full levels too: 54) Fun / RP packs can include only skins for basic armor/Weapons. Clothing for jobs, or costumes (Halloween).    Also, a sword doesn't need to look like a normal sword. It only needs to use the same damage type (example: it can look like a Katana, rapier, etc. all using slashing damage). The same goes for the other weapon types. Some packs don't even need to entirely adhere to the listed material, for example a "nature" pack can have a bone-sword with inlaid diamonds as the tier 3.5 weapon.   Which packs do we absolutely need: A default one for all types of weapons included. One pack for each nation (national armor and weapons)   besides these, we take all (that look somewhat good) and if fitting will be in game earn-able or via the store. You can also make, for example, an RP pack, where armor looks like the clothing of different jobs and the weapons like their jobs tools.    I hope this is clear, if not please post your questions here (not pm or discord) so others will see the answers too.   Thank you! - Sellt

I Greet you, People of Atherys!   I decided that today, while g the beautiful view outside my window, i shall update all of you about the progress of Atherys Horizons.    First, I want to make it clear that we all are still 100% committed to the project, in fact I just signed a server contract for a year (saving money, but i'm bound to the servers for at least that time) and as far as I can see and feel, the whole team is still with me!    Our build team is making good progress with building the Gennaian Isles capital after which the others will follow shortly (you may have seen some of the screenshots taken in the capital. it looks breath taking. I even took a tour in VR in there).   Our Dev Team is working on finishing the AtherysCombat Plugin which took us a while to nail down how we want it to work (soooo many opinions. Really wasn't easy) but i think most of you will be happy with what we got (ofc not all, it will never be all :D)    Some of us are in the process of designing and creating the dungeons which will be a big part of your Adventures, i saw some of the ideas and i very much like them. I even visited one and i'm sure you will enjoy it too.    One of the big parts now is that we finished up our list of weapons and armors and their tiers. This is important in so far that i know need as many designers as possible to create skin-sets for these. This means that there will be different skins that you can find (and many more to buy in the store) to make your gear a bit more unique. For example, there will be nation specific textures for when you want to go to war in style! These ofc would be sets that can be found/made in game.  I will post a specific topic about this later this week( so tomorrow or saturday) detailing the items and tiers and what is required of skin-sets. Hoping to find some more people helping making them. Incidentally you will also learn a bit more about what kind of weapons you will be able to use in Horizons (wont be just sword, axe and staff!).   In almost all other parts and features for this project we made progress but often in away that its really nothing to talk about besides saying, yeah we are progressing along well. As soon as another features is ready/finished i will make a special post talking about it, which i hope is soon!    Now i shall return to my favorite Tavern and enjoy another glass of.. aehm... water!
All shall be well! -Sellt
