I am overflowing in oblivion nostalgia right now and screaming with glee on the inside.
It was night time when i logged on in serb and my initial reaction was WHOA, Holy fuck? What the hell happened here? Its, its, its.... Dark and so Different. Then i realized the texture on everything change Which made me feel happy, No more stock, free taken-from-a-website-looking textures. Whoa the stables changed and that rock i used to climb on the wall is gone. In fact most of the rocks have ether moved or disappeared inside town.
Then it dawns on me the landscape inside town has changed. I must leave town and explore at once.
The bridge Has Changed? it looks normal! The rocks outside have changed, I can see tress further off in the distance then i could before. everything is so pretty the fence has moved the pathway is wider. I am in awe.
I follow the path way that goes past the meditation pillar just outside of the walls. I was so obsessed with looking at things that i actually lost my sense of direction for a moment and ran around in circles trying to find a landmark. After 10 or so seconds I find the farm and came back to me senses. I see a tree stump, I has grapes, it does not despawn, huh, that's neat. I follow the path till the path disapears into the hills on the south side of the farm then turn back. to see where the other 2 paths go.
Run to the dock, admire the tall pine trees for their pinelyness. make it to the docks and think, well not to much has changed in terms of.... getting there? Idk how to explain it as such being that it was so different yest so familiar. I turn back to follow the path that leads to eltibule. start to follow the path but then i stop. A strange urge has come over me.
that crystal. I, I must.... Touch it... Its just..... Soooo pretty..... the way it glows in the dark void of night....
After a minute of idly staring at the crystal I finally snap out of it. I continue onward. I get to the house by the portal to realise... hang on, where'd the house go? Did a massive asteroid hit the planet here? Its so flat and brown, I turn to see that there is no longer an mansion but instead a rather small looking house. and not just 1 small looking house but 2. "hmm it looks like there looks like enough room here to develop more house maybe? Per chance? *I recon the sneaky devs are gonna put a town more houses here and make a second town*
I open my map to see my map pins are intact, that's good! I head to the brain bug cave I must see what else is new. More trees, wow nature looks so much more better so green and vibrant.
One thing i notice however.. is it me or is it taking longer then usual to get to the brain bug cave? *did the devs make serbule bigger? Like upscale the size of everything? so it takes longer to walk places? ah well no matter* I then run to the mushroom cave, I find that, the rat place rock thing seems a bit more well hidden, I admire that. I make it to the mushroom cave to see that the baby giant mushroom actually looks like a smaller version of the giant mushroom.
I then proceed up the cliff towards the hand. Hmm where'd the head go? there seems to be a mountain where the head was. oh no wait nevermiind the mountain is the head XD. The head actually looks like a petrified giant as apposed to a perfectly caved statue (did notice there was a tree clipped through his hood though. i then go to the crypt, everything seems the same except for one thing. I seems more.... open. the stonework looks more stone like. I litterally said to SassySusie ((i was in a discord call with her)) "Uhm is it bad if i actually want to live here? In the graveyard?" ((she laughed at me)). I run to the south Serb portal, the wolf quest place has changed but looks the same I keep on going.
The something different happens, Something that made me stop moving. "Huh? Why is everything suddenly a tinge of red?" Did someone cast a spell or something?" it starts getting reder, and reder. Then the sky sudden get a bit brighter. Whoa whats happening. I keep running and the it hits me once i get to the stone henge.
"OMG, There is an actual full day night cycle? WOW, Mind blown" i run to the old tutorial cave / after the island drop point to see another asteroid crater like thing similar to that of the eltibule portal area. * I bet 20 councils the devs are gonna put some sort of structure / hub here *
Go to borghild and take some fall damage from dropping off the top of the entrance, huh that's odd, Borghild seems so much bigger. I like it!
I then look for the entrence to the sewers, water is so much thicker and dirty looking. not bad, I was however disappointed to see that the sewer entrence was still just a portal. i was hoping to see a pipe sticking out of a the ground but given the pas10 or so minutes of awe, I'm gonna let it slip.
I then go to the edge of the water (close to town) and watch the sun rise. So relaxing.
================================================== =================
I then change my settings from fastest to fast and my jaw hits the desk so hard it snaps.
