Work on the Battle for Nordr expansion continues. Much of the areas are coming together, boss fights are getting dialed in, new monsters are being created and itemization is coming along nicely. I loaded up the expansion and ran around the first areas and took a few screenshots to show off to you. Please keep in mind that this is still work in progress...

The village:

What could be down here?
27786


Uller's Tomb! It seems intact. Let's keep it that way!
27787


Just outside of town things are not so peaceful...

A closer look...

After going a ways from the guarded bridge, we come to another set of guards - this time an Alpha Wolf and their pack!

That's all I have for today. Check back again soon for another update!

woot nice.


"inviting one wolf, you're inviting the whole pack"

[Yakiniku]

Thanks for this!

I have to admit, the lore you guys put together for this game is pretty darned cool.

[Swede]

Thanks for this!

I have to admit, the lore you guys put together for this game is pretty darned cool.

Makes me happy to hear, thanks Yakiniku :)

Also those pictures have quite a bit of placeholder as we finish things up (Kincaid the Bard, non-Nordrmen corpses etc).

[inkredible]

wow looks amazing

[JaytB]

That looks pretty darn cool!

[Sibayjing]

maps are sublime. the atmosphere of the game gets really interesting.
This is not the reuse map with a different texture. we recognize slightly architectures of banckenbridge and tower of mardrom but we feel there is a real job and aesthetics.

Great job game designer and others sts developers

[ishyrionek]

Cold... Its so cold... :-D

About bard... Will you still need to aim 'X' to progress bard storys?

[Trande]

Damn.. that looks awesome... i love that castle n wolfs.. deemm.i thinks its gonna be hard n realy interesting playing.. cant wait for it :) but i wanna see.ages expansion faster.. haha :)

Good job STS keep in that way:)

Best wishes. :)

I didn't use this pic in the main piece, but I do rather like it.

[stackz]

Sweet! New bard quest finally it looks like :-)

Will this bard quest have enemies on par with lvl requirement or be easy runs like the old quests?

[iluvataris]

Maybe a new story Tolkien a pet?

[Valkiryas]

OMG OMG, so happy, wow now if I bow before you.

[Khylan]

Looks fantastic!

[Zuzeq]

Really nice:)!

[Valkiryas]

Just look closely at the pictures and realized that wolves are apparently not recycled but the yetis have a small similarity to the skeletons, so combines the environment and manner that they created everything (even teleportation portals are fantastic) all with a pint of cold to die and a great way to maintain a intereres to the players, I can only say great job!

Looks awesome guys. Good job :)

[GoobieGabel]

Anyone notice the wolves in the background of the closer look at the enemies. They are eating a corpse! 0o0

[Valkiryas]

..
That's Right.. :)

[Natrich]

Wow, double xp weekend coming up plus screenshots of the content

Next cap is on the horizon!

[Limsi]

I didn't use this pic in the main piece, but I do rather like it.

Uller's Statue

Uller is holding a swoord.. i thought it was the ban whammer hammer! Nevertheless I'd have to say that this is yet the coolest thing I've seen. Thanks!

[Jcyee]

Makes me happy to hear, thanks Yakiniku :)

Also those pictures have quite a bit of placeholder as we finish things up (Kincaid the Bard, non-Nordrmen corpses etc).

Does that mean there will not be another Bard that gives another story quest? Or is he a placeholder for another Bard? Hopefully the latter :)

Other than that, the new content looks really fun :)

[gigina]

Wow wow...
I'm already feel the "coldness" of the new expansion !!!!

[Azepeiete]

Wow this looks good, you guys stepped it up big time, the last expansion did kinda feel rushed. But this one looks great so far, from design to the actual ideas and lore of the new area looks/sounds great.

[Usagravi]

Everything looks lovely and I especially like the wolves!

[Alhuntrazeck]

wow awesome. lol...the statue looks a little like King Dude

[zweixii]

"winter is coming." :cold:

[Ebezaanec]

Looks cool! Can't wait til the expansion

[rivet]

I wonder what music will play at Nordr..

[TheStoic]

This would be even cooler if there were CINEMATICS!!! Guys, show us a glimpse of the 3 legendary heroes.

Seriously, Great job!

[lalavita]

NICE!!!

[Deadprezz]

Looks amazing! I can't wait!

[Puntus]

Looks awesome!! Good job!!

[Noobiam]

Niceee! cant wait for the update! :)

[Mysticaleagle]

Fine. I admit it, this looks awesome!! Can't wait!!

[Chaokaban]

Can't wait for the awesome update

[Zanpakuto]

Looks just awesome! Please make a guild hall with this exact theme!

[Mysticaleagle]

Looks just awesome! Please make a guild hall with this exact theme!

Oh, I would simply buy it straight away if they do. :D

[Orageunas]

looks so cool that i want to play it now :)

[wvhills]

looks good guys! I like the lord of the rings influences (the big statues and balins tomb). I was worried this was going to be ydra reskinned but everything is looking great! I like the idea of a wolf boss. Can't wait to show him I'm the alpha wolf babaaaayyyyy!!!

[Jed]

Can't wait for the sorcerer expansion.
and this one I guess

[Minesweeper]

I'm almost drooling can't wait to get minesweeper at this new expansion live u guys and arcane haha keep it up!:)

[Minesweeper]

Can't wait for the sorcerer expansion.
and this one I guess

I'm with u my friend the next expansion is ours lol

[euromikeym]

This does look, graphically, stunning! And that is probably the main reason I enjoy playing so much. But. I really hope these maps are different in their layout. It will get very repetitive soon! (sort of already is. mostly re-skins)

I guess there are limitations to the map complexity, when we demand such great, fast graphics, online.

I just pray to the Game Gods, there will be something alternative in these maps. Perhaps i left my wish to late!!!

[Sibayjing]

New bard, logically there should be a new token pet better than colton :D (I hope)
Probably a pet for warrior

[ishyrionek]

Hmm, did Uller was King Dude from Windmoore? Or was it his brother? :-)

[katish]

@designers: just please careful with the high walls.. hate blind spots like we have in Arcanun Castle and Tower of Mardrom..

[etzSync]

maybe after the kraken recycling fiasco they learned and arent coming up with BRAND NEW OLD content again

at least it looks like we're getting some actual new mobs and stuff, looking forward too seeing the final thing

[VanRah]

I love the wolves!!!
TY SO MUCH!!!
I hope I can have them as my pets *_*

[Minesweeper]

Omgosh they do need to make wolf pets like snaggle and wrath that would be great

[~ARI~]

Cold... I love it.

I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT. AHHHHHHHHHH :D

[chitgoks]

so we going to get a new pet wolf here ;) coooool

[LwMark]

Wow sts you are really doing sooooooooo good with al im glad u lost focus on the other games to give us al players full attention, please keep recoloring an givin the same items in pl so u can give al new stuff :p
seriously dont let al diee!!!! Best sts game yet, an thats from a die hard pl fan to

[KennethK]

Im amazed...trully. Awesome work, good to see our hard earned money being used for better game :)

[Lalarie]

<3 can't wait!

[Alhuntrazeck]

Awesome. just need an exact date :(

[Traonacik]

Would be nice to get meaner versions of Timber, Cerella, Chase and Loki. It would be awesome for pets to become mature looking versions of themselves when they reach Level 30 and then change again at Level 50 or 75.

Or maybe a quest to get an item that will change one pet into a super saiyan. :D

[Arief Adhie M]

Can't wait !!
That's cool right.
Fantastic and very very like in real world. Cool.

[lovestriker]

Amazing, Can't wait to see the new gear and maps!

Mythic Armor preview next maybe? :D

[afrobug]

New vanities please..planning on spending real money if I see it fit. Seems a good and fresh arcane legends is coming soon. I hope my excitement doesn't get cut short like what happened with kraken expansion. We'll see..:-)))

[ean89]

ohh..wow..blood..never seen blood in this game.

[Darko]

Looks great can't wait to play it

[Daniel Garber]

I hope there's a lower hauntlet.

[azerty]

I hope there's a lower hauntlet.

nvvrrr
