Of which node location do you plan to be a citizen of?

Just asking because I'm slightly worried that some locations may be more popular than others.

    Unfortunately i can't choose 2 options but myself, I'm leaning towards underrealm or coastal Node.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    More important then the location is the type for me. I want a divine node,

    I hineshon haven't decided yet. But I'm drawn to a costal one because of my affinity to the sea.

    Going to need to wait and see what we learn about Nodes in the near future.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I think the node type is important, but I will look first and foremost for accessibility, I want caravans to have as many routes in and out of the node as possible. Also centrally located, I want it to be near other nodes. Not in the corner of the map.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I would love to settle near Mountain or Under-realm node
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Well im already six feet under so why not
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Seem to have answered this so many time but here you go. :) 

    As to the type of node, I am somewhat undecided need more information on what the perks will be first.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    My choice of science node means mountains are the only logical choice as mines will be essential. 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I like the idea of being in the mountains, however which not I would end up selecting will have more to do with what type it is rather than where it is.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I have no particular preference however as i will be a Weaponsmith or Blacksmith i will erect my Freehold and become a citizen of a Node where metals are traded because not all nodes will have abundances of specific resources. I feel a mountain region may be more accustomed to metals but i will wait until i'm in game to get a feel for local economies.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I'm a Tulnar and i will build my freehold on top of a mountain. I have lived long enough deep in the ground. I will rise to the top of the World!
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I'm not very picky but i kind of like the idea of being on the coast where i have easy access to boating.

    As resources will be very important in this game I'll take my bets on a node close to a mountain. It'll give me access to metal while not having the trade and travel difficulties that will probably come with underrealm nodes. Not to mention it's beautiful to climb on top of mountains.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I intend to choose a node by type (Divine) and don't care where it is.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I chose island because it just sounds like a cool idea, but at the end of the day I have to say I like the idea of all of them equally. The node I have my citizenship in will be with my guild and at that point I could care less about the type because all of them will give me plenty of opportunities to kill NPCs and players :D
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Ideally, I'd like a node location in a cold area where snow is more frequently. I don't care too much about the rest of it.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Can't say just yet but a node with as much snow as possible for me, or the underrealm.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Coastal sounds really good ;D
    Either coastal, island or under-realm nodes, because i want to be a pirate yarrrrr.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Isn't being citizen of an island node also a coastal node by default? 🤔
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Dwarves and mountains go hand in hand.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Forest, Island, or Under-realm are cool with me but out them all forest for sure.

    Depends if the node is in the middle of the island or on the coast does it not? :D

    @Damokles No not really.
    If the node is a really tiny island it could be in the middle of an island and have coast all around it ;-)

    @Augentier
    If the island is THAT small, then i dont think they will place a node there. 
    Maybe a level 1 node with its cap at level 1, 2 or 3^^, but i dont think that a level 4 node will fit on such an small island ;D

    If that were true then Iowa would be a coastal state since it has a "coast" in every direction if you go far enough
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    @whitedude31
    But Iowa isn't a tiny island.  :|

    @Damokles
    What if a village stage would barely fit on that island. And beyond village the node needs tons of sand as recource because the island needs to be expanded.
    Or the buildings that don't fit on the island are built on water. Either floating or something like Venice.

    I was pretty sure we were salting our comments with some downs, maybe I was wrong and they really are stupid
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    @whitedude31
    Yeah you were right just messing around.
    But i always defend my stupid comments ;)

    They already said that some nodes wont be able to progress into specific node levels, if they are in the zone of influence of bigger nodes. And that would be a good mechanic for smaller islands, where they wont have enough space to develop themself. 
    IS could make it so that island nodes get bigger zones of influence, because they dont have as much land around them as normal nodes would have. (They could encompass more smaller islands under the influence of a bigger island)

    I also demand that we name one node Tortuga, which will be a pirate haven yarrrrr!
