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)

This here is a very beautiful Reallife Coastline.

Damn. I hope we get to see some Coastlines around the Islands in the upper Middle Region of the World somewhere. Or in Case there are already other kinds of Coasts planned there - i don't care where. But somewhere in any case.

(Always remember You can open these Pictures directly and they will a greater, better solution)

Can You Guys imagine a place between Two Biomes where a River flows through -> and the Rockformations on the Sides look like this ? Like someone hewn them ? Would be very cool if it would exist somewhere in the finished Game.

Aszkalon

There will probably be no Biomes that will look as closely as this as the Kae'lar Riverlands.

Won't it ?

Don't forget to open directly for maximum Size. A smol' Hamlet which could be nearby a huge Node-City.

I personally love a Rustic house in a snowy forest/mountains. so I will likely live somewhere in Sujoma or the Frostgrave Fells.
node I'm not too fussed about. whatever place I like the look of and find has convenient access to the things I want.

Over half to full a Year ago or so -> i posted a Picture of a House which i would like to possess in a very frozen, snowy, frosty Area.

I realise this will most likely never happen - > or rare things/Houses like this one may come only with a future Expansion around 2040 or even around 2050.

But wouldn't such a thing be cool ?

A Freehold-like, single Building. Nearby your Node. Frostgrave Fells or the like. And you would own it.

For me mountain or hilly area since I will be playing as a Dünir dwarf. But whatever city node my guild will try to form as fast as possible will be my home. Plus eventually, I will try to be the owner of a tavern in that node.. Since I can still remember the Tavern/Cantina name my current guild had in SWG back in the day. Those were some fun times in SWG since I was the guild leader for a Wookie clan. The neighbors south are about 500 to 2000 meters from our village is where that cantina I remember fondly. The weird part is after SWG I joined said guild when they moved on to wow when it first started.

Node : Dunir
Biome : Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone, raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home, skin made of iron, steel in our bones, to dig and dig makes us free, come on brothers sing with me.

Being a healer, I'm leaning toward a divine node, biome doesn't really matter. In reality though, I'll just go where the guild goes/needs me.

Aszkalon

Right now, i think i like the Riverlands in Autumn the most.
Could change, though. And i know my beloved "colder" Biomes are not out yet.

Syblitrh

Close to any of these...

I really like variety in gameplay and game environments alike, so no preference really. It looks like a usual levelling journey will take your across multiple biomes

I personally right now have the Impression that You can choose. You can choose to entirely level your Character up by endlessly doing Stuff, Content, Artisan Craft, Dungeon-exploring etc. etc. in the same Biome like for Example the Riverlands,

ooorrr

if you want to venture out from the Biome You know and enter other Area's of the World of Verra.

I could imagine a Place at the very Southern Border of the Riverlands looking a lot like this. Be it on the West Coast or on the East Coast where the Vaelune(?)/Sandsquall Desert starts.

Agripinensia

Just like in real life:
I don't really care where I live.

So I will go wherever most of my guild want to be.
I want to play an elf through, so I might have to travel a lot my first hours. (At least after the first reset with them having a separate spawn - probably Beta)

I give You at least One Plus Point for putting your possible, own Wishes behind your Guilds Will and move along. Very flexible Mindset.

But never forget to let your Impulses carry You somewhere, when the sudden Urge to explore and discover a wondrous Fantasy-World might grab your Heart suddenly.

I always did that in many Video Games - and i never regretted it.

When i saw the "Map" from the last, monthly Presentation - i hope the Transition from Riverlands into the Sandsquall Desert will be a bit like this ... ... ...

Beautiful Autumn Riverlands in this Autumn this Year. When ?

Just kidding. I know.

Starting in Thirteen Days, right ?
I am aware the Seasons ingame are supposed to be changing fast. But still very excited to see the Changes to the Biome.

Node: Military, Economic or Divine
Maybe somewhere near lawless zones possibly The Turquoise Sea

Yeah similar, can't recall any incentive to stay at a vassal node, outside of the (increasing) cost of citizenship as the parent node levels up.
Not a great incentive though.

I'd like to be loyal to a node, and have the game at least partially incentivise that.

I agree with your statement, I would like to actually feel loyalty to a node enough to foster it up and if it is a vassal to maybe one day break said vassalage. But right now the there hasn't been any evidence that vassalage can benefit a node. Would be great if there was enough incentives for people to become citizens of a vassal or stay citizens because they wouldn't suffer as compared to following the master node.

I feel like this is where node wars plus disputes will be fostered. If a vassal node feels like they’re being stepped on by the parent node wouldn’t they just try to overthrow it or move elsewhere to contest that parent node in order to become a higher tier node.

I think if you add too much complacency it won’t breed enough conflict dampening the whole node siege experience in general. Also doesn’t a node have a cap on how many people can apply for citizenship?

Also in terms of choosing a node maybe a vassal node is closer to a farming grounds you prefer than said parent node meaning it would benefit you better in crafting or transport. Also I can see high tier nodes being packed with lots of players so you’ll have diminished returns from farming around that node or being able to participate in content if it’s clustered out by bigger guilds or alliances.

I hope nodes have a middle ground of complacency and discontent for vassalage. If a node becoming a vassal means every opportunity they will betray the parent so they can rise up the system will become dull, and players will always resort to assuming vassals are enemies. It should be the parent's job to ensure a fine line of incentives to stay loyal but also enough of a heavy hand to ensure tribute is paid.

Hell I believe there should be a secret alliance ability where vassals can pledge loyalty to the opposite side in exchange for better benefits and an actual faction swap during battle, rather than the citizens being forced to ally with the citizens of the parent node. It would open up ground for politics which could be fun.

Regarding citizenship I think you are right about the cap, but what is to stop a citizen from the parent to go to the vassal and farm with no issue? If there is citizen locked content for vassals that would make more sense, but besides the citizen cap I see no reason to become a citizen of a vassal because it doesn't offer anything more than the parent would.
