Friday Dev Report - Early Kraken Isles Adventure

[Samhayne]

It is that time again! Let's log into the latest development build of the Kraken Isles expansion for Arcane Legends and see what has come together over the last week of work. The adventuring zones are coming together. I loaded up a Warrior and headed to Windmoore to see if I could catch a ship going to the Isles. There is still a lot of work to do on the expansion, but I think there was enough early adventure to make a story out of it. Here's what happened:

The Harbor district of Windmoore has seen better days. Ruffians, Thugs and strangely affected Pirates accosted me at every turn. I finally made it to the docks, only to be confronted by these guys!

Watch out for the pincers!

After that, it was time to set sail...

As I mentioned last week (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?85107-Friday-Dev-Report-Traveling-the-Kraken-Isles-by-Ship), travel through the Kraken Isles will be via ship. Unfortunately, exploring isn't hooked up at this time :) Here's the updated ship map:

While the sailing was smooth, you will want to keep an eye toward the horizon for the dreaded Jolly Roger...

24174

24175

Alas, I was solo and probably could have used a good party...

That's what I have for this week. We are about 2 weeks out from the launch of the Kraken Isles expansion (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?84781-Kraken-Isles-Expansion-Coming-to-Arcane-Legends-in-Late-February) - give or take. Be sure to join us again next week for more sneak peek Kraken Isles adventure!

Awesome! Love these every Friday updates, great idea!

[Lowlyspy]

Woot! New town!

[BodMaster]

Noice! Loving the adaptation to using the ship to travel the map, adds more realisation to the game.

Been waiting a new town, what better than Paradise Pier ;)

[Disko]

Holy blunderbuss-toting cthulhu-headed swashbucklers, Batman!

Thanks for the humorous update Sam! Cant wait to get a whack at it ourselves!!

[Bless]

Cool :D blue aliens on a ship

[Abuse]

Really great!

[C17H21N04]

This look promising. Great work guys. Can t wait to explore NEW.

[Vystirch]

Cool :D blue aliens on a ship

They look like blue squid to me.

[Energizeric]

Yeah, since they were hanging out with the great evil captain bluecrab, I'm guessing they are some kind of crab or squid.

[Arcanee]

OMG I just fell in love Ima fight that blue crab and whoop his butt (I hope -_-) but I cant wait to excited

[quaziest]

Is there going to be fishing on this game? Can a guild purchase a ship ... so we can explore and attack other people's ship and raid them at the same time?

[Tilax]

They look like Skeletons attacked by squids :P

This is not like a game console Thats to advanced thats like taking a step from steet football and then into Nfl that is a example btw but yea thats to advanced right now I think.

[Deathblaze]

O.O I soo cant wait.

[Swede]

Just a side note, Karin will not be the Captain of the Dragon's Jewel at release, she's just a placeholder right now. :)

[iondeuterium]

Awesome... Ready to kill some pirates... Oh and will you allow more than 4 in a party in this expansion?

[Vystirch]

I doubt this. The way it is set up will most probably stay the way it currently is...
I think it is fine the way it is tbh.

[Crabmeat]

Capt Bluecrab? One Piece? lol

Capt Hanna Raven? "It's frightful bad luck to bring a woman aboard, sir."

[CosmoxKramer]

A warrior can't solo it?! Sounds like the difficulty has gone up dramatically

[Jcyee]

Lol I like Captain Bluecrab

[Fyrce]

Thanks STS! These look great! I can't wait to bust up some giant blue sea cucumber pirates!!

[BodMaster]

I doubt this. The way it is set up will most probably stay the way it currently is...
I think it is fine the way it is tbh.

It is fine, but wouldn't it be better as 5 for parties so you can jump back and forth from PvE and PvP later on?

That said they would have to re-work all the difficulty setting per level again.

Though main thing we know the system is capable having 5/10 players on one screen ;)

[Aracnus]

Looks pretty awesome. Love how you pick where the ship goes! I guess this means i need to grind from 19 to 21 pretty quick.. :witless:

[BodMaster]

[BodMaster]

Anytime buddy, PM me when about to log on if you like to given me a heads up, see if I can get a group together ;)

This is true but PvP won't always be 5v5. I guess it could be raised to 5 but I'm not sure.


This game is getting to be huge.

Yes it is.

[Dustypockets]

Thanks for this update!
This looks really cool.
It is fun watching the game expand and unfold like this.

[dooprider]

wow...... @.@
cant wait for the update........

[Arcanee]

Awesome... Ready to kill some pirates... Oh and will you allow more than 4 in a party in this expansion?I think that would make it boring probably next game but Arcane legends naw It would affect kills exp loot drop exc.

[AllazarTheGreat]

Update is on the 18th and double Exp is on the 16th & 17th.Check AL Facebook page.

[inkredible]

LOL awesome story i actually enjoyed that and quite funny too, thats perfect,
Hanna haven look just like karin LOL

[~A~]

Yay!! Paradise pier will be the new kraag!

[Straticus]

Looks fun. More quests, tougher mobs, better loot. All I can now ask for are more skills, and more active skills simultaneously, like we have in PL and SL. Would change things dramatically, and for the better, IMHO.

Shout to BodMastah: good to see ya bro, pity WoM didn't fly like we wanted. See yah in game

[Gaabelec22]

Cant wait to play against captain blue crabxD

[McBain]

Ha, I love the crab guy.
