Liana Pera Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 So, as most of you know, the terrain on Titan changes between dert and snow as a seasonal balance on Titan. I have however spoken to a few other people who have said they like the Snow more than the soil, and wouldn't mind Titan being a giant arctic tundra moon wasteland all the time. Some people have said they're just kind of starting to get tired of the dirt by now. Some people don't mind it at all. This, however, is really a matter of choice.SNOWPros-In the RL, Titan (Saturn's moon) is extremely cold. With snow, it could look cold too.Snow makes spotting targets wearing dark armor easier.Aryte likes snow.Snowmen.Cons-Bright textures, like snow, can cause strain on the eyes over long periods.Having only snow and no seasonal changes could be monotonous.SOILPros-Easier on the eyes, darker color.Mud wrestling.Titan's actual surface could be more rocky than icey.Having the terrain switch could be a welcome minor change every season.Cons-Harder to spot darker targets on a darker background.It's dirt.What is/are your choice(s) and why?

ribena Homewood Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Personally, I preferred the snow.Looks cleaner, nicer and makes stuff stand out.Snow ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sera Otoro Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 i think we need a completely different style of terrain... weve been at these two for a while, but then again the new build is coming soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupus Mielziner Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 personal i love the snow look maybe if i got time i could build some if it got approved winter versions of our armor wich would give it some more futoristic look :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kytec Switchblade Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I always loved the snowy look, my black armor matches the base, and my white hair doesn't stand out. But there are always valid alternatives like some kind of gray with craters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorFox Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I prefer snow over soil, but I'd prefer a well-done city build over either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathieu Oller Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I don't think snow would cause strain to the eye if it was an off-white. Of course if it's bright white (which is unrealistic), there will be eye strains. Snow would be nice because most militaries have dark-colored armor and the white would make it easier to spot them, especially at long range in Chronus. Anything darker than what we have now would not help us in spotting targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well I'm all for switching to a university build, then we won't have to worry! XDBut historically, we switch from dirt to snow during the actual winter season. Or at least that is how it always ended up being. Made sense as well, so we could all get our santa hats on, and bulk up with cold weather gear. Snow, however, does blind to no end, and is a considerable contrast with black armor.

Tenaki Kupferberg Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Aryte is a white wolf, he gets a +50 racial bonus on snow mapsThat settles it. Anything but snow is heresy. Anyone who disagrees will be shot a dawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulliver Carpool Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah, desert or something. It's summer. It's hot. Aryte lives in a desert. We're gearing up for tank battles. Tanks work great in deserts. I've never understood why we don't have a uniform that blends in more. Greyish brown would suit many more situations than pristine black. Black's not really functional. Especially those damned skirts the officers and Praetorians wear. You'd cut that shit off as soon as the first bullet flew, lest you trip on that and get your ass shot off.

RazorFox Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Let's maybe steer away from snow, since that might attract snowkitties, and that would lead to stress for all around. :sadfrown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
