What are people's node & biome preferences?

I'm interested in people's plans. I'm thinking:

Node: Military / Scientific
Biome: swamp / "Asian". Ideally on or near the coast (interested in pvp around trade routes etc)

Biome: Temperate or Boreal forests.

I understand i think ... ...

Yup, a bunch of that

Everyone,

Please open this Picture here on maximum Size. This Forum Format just doesn't do it Justice.

I personally hope dear Intrepid will also manage a few Places like this. Even the Early Access World of Enshrouded managed something similar.

This here could be a nice Place, where Ways up and down into the Underdark /Underground meet with the upper Surface Lands.

And now it is time for some more ambience posting I guess.

Sneaking around in a node as a thief/rogue?

Node: Economic or Scientific
Biome: Somewhere with big trees, the bigger the better.

I want to figure out if all biomes are viable to get to level 6, and what the disadvantages are of being a vassal node to a Metropolis. And are some harsh biomes harder to get to level 6

So in other words are you likely to get better minerals for crafting weapons in a Level 4 mountain node than in a level 6 swamp?

Based on the benefits we know of right now, probably Academic. I'd like to be able to get around quickly should a world event pop up, or just to make meeting up with the guild easier.

As for biome, probably something thematic for whatever race I pick. Mountains for Dunir, Riverlands for Kaelar, etc. Essentially, I want to be in or around my race's capital.

I wonder if location / proximity will become the driver rather than the biome type itself.

Would a well-positioned node, with a well-structured metropolis and the right buildings, taxation and governance, situated as the key hub to a network of other regions and port access trump any given biome popularity?

Perhaps players will overlook or suffer the biome of default for the key ingredients to a successful locale!

Divine deep py'rai forest node!!!

I still haven’t found a game that matches the biome immersion of RDR2. 5+ years later it’s a master class example of how to build environments.

I’m looking forward to getting into those snowy peaks.

I just thought about it before i forget,

will we - (probably not) - get any new Information to the "Underrealm" in which the Tulnar apparently have much of their Civilisation - before Alpha Two ?

And what about the Underwater-Area's (Biomes ?)
: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Underwater

And if there is just not enough Time anymore before Alpha Two hits the Stage, can we get some Information before or during the Testing of the probably exact Content which i just mentioned ? 🤔

Right now we have only this one interesting Picture showing how the Underrealm can look, have we ?

The metropolises are going to form in the most popular areas which usually means convenience and proximity to resources are a big factor. The first metropolis is very likely to be outside the human portal and near a dungeon area or other popular farm.

Node: Scientific

Biome: Badlands maybe?

This is me be a glutton, but I'm pumped for the corruption, volcanoes, weather, etc.

Imagine a Metropolis would be best located nearby a popular Dungeon Area of Farm/Area for Example World Bosses.

But it is "sadly" located nearby a Portal or so ... ...
... ... ... you realise what "Node Wars and Node Sieges" are made for, right, Texas ?

How nice. The Kae'lar Riverlands in Autumn.

Just kidding. It's from Canada. But i loved the Presentations last Year. Technically we should have a few Live-Cams around Winstead and Miraleth which show the Landscape all the time and the slow Transition from One Season of the Year into the next.

Like it would be in the Game. Like you can sloooooooooowly every few Days see it change.
How awesome is that ?

What about Icy, snowy Mountains ?

Or dry, wasteland-like Deserts ?
