New Trailer

[Susy.7529]

Now please, give Scepters to ranger class with its new elite spec, this new weapon would be perfect for my ranger.

[Danikat.8537]

Having just watched the A Bug In The System trailer and the new one again I don't understand why so many people prefer the first one. Sure it's got some cool visuals but it tells us almost nothing about the story we didn't already know at the end of Episode 1 - we're going to an Inquest base where they're working with the Awakened - and shows very little of the new map, only bits of the Inquest base which, aside from the Awakened corruption, looks like every other Inquest base. Unless I missed it we don't see the Olmakhan at all, or the Djinn meta-event.

 

Which means firstly, for me, this trailer is a lot better because I feel like it gives me a much clearer idea of what the story of this episode is about, which is the main thing I'm interested in. But also makes me think there could be a lot in Episode 4 we haven't seen or don't recognise yet. There's a lot of shots I couldn't place, other than it's clearly somewhere in Elona, so it's quite likely those are all on the new map. I'm 99% sure that whirlwind at the end is new, but I'm not sure what it actually is and it might just be in a cut scene.

I think this is where I attempt to try raids out.

The first trailer this season was awful and showed nothing, second one was amazing and showed everything, third one showed the cool things and this one went back to not showing anything, but on the quality level of the previous two.

 

Watch the video again, they show a lot more of the new map than just the last 10 seconds, but I'll let you figure out which other parts are the new map(they're interspersed with scenes from older maps, which might confuse people into thinking they're not showing anything new).

Episode 3 was the mid-point of season 4, which means we have 3 episodes left including number 4, so you can look forward to episodes 5 and 6 in Season 4 before we segue right into Season 5, which should lead into the next expansion.

About time we **"possibly"** got our revenge on that thief of a djinn Zommoros! The main reason I say a STRONG "possibly because I don't know if we, the players, get to beat up on him.

Yeah I've seen WPs video on it now and realized that but was too lazy to edit :D

 

Gotta say I'm a lot more hyped now after this. I didn't even notice how gorgeous Aurene looks with those crystals!

The atmosphere, the much higher production quality, the change in tone from the way the cast were introduced right into the dark side of the trailer - it was about setting a tone and one that was a bit different from what we have come to expect and really encapsulated the horror in a way the game is too limited to convey. They really thought about what they wanted the episode to feel like, took one key aspect of it and then told it in a very exciting and haunting way, without giving away anything. Then over the top, they ran that twisted iconic song which just brought it all together.

 

This was just basic trailer stuff - a bunch of cuts strewn together, many rehashed from older epsidoes with no real punch or excitement (to me). It lacked anything stylish to elevate it or to appeal to the imagination in the way ep2 did. Now, the same could be said of ep1 and ep3 and that would be fair, however they did try and encompass other things and a few set pieces. For example ep3 showed the fractal and the mastery and did so by some very neat camera angles of the riding the beetle. Ep4 didn't even show the legendary, the raid or anything but Aurene, some people standing in the new map and scenes we've experienced before

 

That's my take, everyone will vary, but for me there's is no contest in the two. Ep2 trailer is by far superior in every way and it isn't even remotely close. I'm sure plenty feel the opposite

 

 

 

 

[Ben K.6238]

The Episode 4 trailer makes it seem like we're being told what the story will focus on, but there's nothing much that can be said about what happens this episode without giving everything away.

 

Episode 2 had a relatively convoluted plot, so maybe it could get away with a bit more exposition in the trailer.

[Linken.6345]

to all saying we would ride aurene, I sure as hell dont want those crystal spikes anywere near my junk.

I had a thought, id love it if the voice for aurene was the VA of Ahsoka (Clone Wars if you don't recognize the name)

:+1: I wish my Ranger could use the light set, but apart from that little thorn in my side, I am overwhelmed by these well designed new sets. :)

 

Edit: Perhaps we spoke to soon about the buttcape?

Sure, they were a day late..

but there's nothing different from the format in which they released it.

Maybe you just happened to see it in "some article on the internet" first, but it's quite literally all over the place.

If you're active on youtube, you'll see it there, first.

If you check dulfy occassionally, you'll see it there first.

 

So, sorry for asking again, but I honestly fail to see how any of this is anticlimatic if it's literally the same as ALL the previous episode announcements?

(apart from being a day late)

You don't...

but.. what about the racecars?

[hugo.4705]

@"Danikat.8537" , about the whirlwind, it remind me the storms during Zohaqan events in sandswept, maybe just re-colorized. Have to be verified after we gained access to that map.

[Plautze.6290]

Color me hyped!

So I guess it's about expectations then. I'm not looking for a trailer to be entertaining in it's own right, just to tell me what I'm going to get from whatever it's advertising. Honestly my preference would be a written article with screenshots and maybe video clips for things which can't be shown in a static image, but video seems to be the way the whole internet is going so I guess I'm in the minority there.

If you fail to understand it from my previous replies, then I don't think I can explain it better to you.

[Nash.3974]

As hyped as I am I really really hope we finally get rid of krallatorrik. I always disliked the branded theme and foes so I hope this is the last time we get to see this. We now got branded awakened lul

I assume we will deal with him in the final of season 4 though.

I appreciate a lot all the things that are coming with this episode though, it finally feels like this won’t be an episode we are through with in 1h and never visit again, without really knowing anything yet I can see myself spending a lot of time on the new map etc.

She already does that. At the beginning of LS4E2 in Sandswept Isles, you go to talk to her, and I sat next to her on my Griffon. She was the same length as Griffy, give or take some variations due to character scale, and as I watched, she did the same "stretch" animation that Griffy did, separated by a couple of seconds (blind coincidence).

Well tgats a fair point. A teaser to the new stuff wouldve been cool though like a close up from one armor piece while worn or the new footprint of the new legy without revealing what weapon it actuallly is etc.

[hugo.4705]

But what hyped me the more is that non-branded awakened standing alive without any issues in a sunspear sanctuary (1st version of the video), Joko's dead but awakened still alive, maybe they will became friend with us? dunno... but then that's scare me, all awakened are still there... awakened inquest... awakened canids... abobinations.... also these new branded awakened are spooky! :) Very impatient, wasn't a very good trailer, but still, promising.

Yeah but I'm working on the gen 1 focus and spear, one of which may get ditched for that sceptre if it matches any of my toons
