Re: Celebrating house decor
I looked athte last couple of pages, they look awesome. I do have some constructive criticism here though:

What is going on with the library? The scattered/stacked books and ore, wool, etc, its all very random and I don't follow. Unless it somehow marks whats in the books?
For rune libraries, I was always a fan of alternating wooden benches and rune books.

Re: Celebrating house decor
I guess I am trying to understand why there are diamonds and ore and wool and such in a library. I may be missing the inspiration though.

Have you gone there to look at where the runes go? Or are you just planning on trying to figure out every rune in the library based on a screenshot?Ronk wrote:I guess I am trying to understand why there are diamonds and ore and wool and such in a library. I may be missing the inspiration though.

Re: Celebrating house decor
Lol, just figuring them out by the screenshot. From a purely visual standpoint, im saying all of your buildings are amazing but I feel this one is lacking. But thats kinda what I asked in the first response, it sounds like it is the way it is for functionality.Atraxi wrote:Have you gone there to look at where the runes go?

Re: Celebrating house decor
Aye, functionality. I'm not sure what's in those runebooks tbh. I don't use the library myself. I've got my own runes.Ronk wrote:Lol, just figuring them out by the screenshot.

Re: Celebrating house decor
The items indicate what the rune book is to.....it's pretty simple lol.
Scrolls - scroll NPCs.
Gems - Gemstores.
Regs - reg shops.
All the major rune libraries are set up that way, in addition to naming the books. Makes it much easier for users to come in and figure out what bool will get them where they need to go.

Re: Celebrating house decor
I agree with Ronk though. The presentation there is a little less than stellar. If that were your RL house, you would look like a hoarder hehe. There are better ways to put stuff together, and still leave the labeling objects.

Re: Celebrating house decor
Hmm. I appreciate the feedback. I'll relay the suggestions to Cattie. We'll see what we can do about it. She's in the middle of helping me organize my tower, but after that, she and I will take a look at the Library to see if we can make it look better.SJane3384 wrote:I agree with Ronk though.

Ronk, sorry if I was rude. I misunderstood what you were saying. Please don't feel that the feedback is not welcome.

Re: Celebrating house decor
Limited lock downs = less than steller people.....trying to do a full rune library in a 2 story is quite a feat.
Re: Celebrating house decor
I did not believe you were rude. Given the amount of flaming and such on these forums its not easy to try and get constructive criticism across without having it come across as an insult or attack, especially when you are an orc. Lol.
The limited lockdown is a very good point Brules.

Re: Celebrating house decor
Thus why you almost always see rune libraries as Towers.....to make it look trick, you just need soooo many more lockdowns.
I think the c^v 2 story looks pretty good considering all things. It's nice Vesper has a full library now.

Re: Celebrating house decor
Well, I finally got around to decoing my new tower. I asked Cattie to help, as she's better at deco than anyone else I know, including myself. So here we go, Atraxi's Mini Castle!
1st Floor: The bottom floor of my tower houses my armory and my really big C^V guild tag.

2nd Floor: Here's the crafting floor. In the Southwest corner you will find all magery-related crafting supplies. The large room on this floor houses my main crafting area, including my Tailoring nook.

3rd Floor: Did your hally break while you were pvping? Run out of regs across the map from home? Are you just having one of THOSE days? Why not come home and relax in your private park, complete with a waterfall which cascades down into your own personal pond. Best part is, I never have to mow!

Roof: Itching for some L33T pvp action? I've got a duelling pit on the roof of my tower. Just remember to lock your pet up in my stable. And when you lose, you don't have to be depressed about it! Just take a suicide jump off the Northeast corner of the tower, and you won't have to worry any more!
