Rainbow Dragon.7268 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Might be hard to believe but re using asset's in the game developing world is not a new thing. why do people act brand new.... 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poormany.4507 Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) So looks like most of the Kryptis are clearly reused assets. The redesigns look ok, but it would have been so much cooler if they'd designed them based on the original concept art, even if it took more resources to do so.

Dante.1508 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Smaller dev teams and less money from NCSoft.. Don't let the PR lie to you. The glaring examples in these trailers are easy to see this will be a very basic offering. 4 hours ago, Poormany.4507 said: So looks like most of the Kryptis are clearly reused assets.

Kunzal.5640 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 how you know that they get less money etc? When I compare how EOD released with trailers, visuals etc, I can't believe this obscure expansion... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like so much other double-speak we have been getting surrounding SotO, it is *technically* true. The Wizard's Tower and its asset kit are definitely new. That's our "new places". These previews just make me more and more depressed for the game. SotO is almost completely recycled, and there is absolutely nothing in this expac to suggest that GW2 is *not* in a low-development maintenance mode. I would have been much more likely to purchase SotO if they had just been honest about that fact (and also not kittened around so heavily with HoT/PoF espec designs). Aaaaah yes maintenance mode. If for anet maintenance mode mean they still release DLC and fresh content, Ill gladly takr the maintenance mode. XD Guys, stop throwing word around without knowing what your talking about. If your not hype for the expac dont buy it, if you are, buy it. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it does" They literally have zero understanding of what Maintenance mode is. GW1 is in that, GW2 is not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaos.6479 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) WTF !!! They even re-used Deimos with a new name for the big bad guy of this expansion ! After 11 years we are here ? Not even time/energy/or whatever to create a new skin for a new evil bad guy ? They should have called it Secret Of Re-use ! ☠️ Edited August 21, 2023 by Khaos.6479 2 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW1, a lot) 😛 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elricht Kaltwind.8796 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Wait till you see how much assets get reused in real life. The same car models over and over again, just reskinned? And what's with using the same two-feet-two-hands designs over and over for so many different animals? Come on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inferno looks like the raid but re-used and of course Deimos. SO PLEASE ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debesyla.7102 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Now when it launched I cant see any big reuse... Forum people, you lied to me! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass Hand.7306 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Asset reuse is normal. The big problem with SOTO is there is no consistent theme. Everything is just thrown in without consideration of any apparent design consistency. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenriswolfman.5486 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I seem to remember anet diverting resources to other projects and letting this one slide before. What was it that happened last time? Oh thats right... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i saw, the "asset reuse" everybody is yelling about actually has a purpose, and has thus far been explained. The Jade Tech, Desert, Jungle areas are purposefully placed and has a reason in the story. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echostorm.9143 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Because they are shifting resources away from GW2 again like they always do. Then the project fails and they come back for a few months and the cycle renews. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a bonus: almost every "reused asset" is actually new models... 🙂 Even the Kaineng city has actually unique building models that are not used in NKC 🙂 95% of the map is new assets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
