Dear Lord! Please make Coerthas green again!

[Nayto]

Nah, I like 2.0 coerthas over 1.0 just because of the snowy climate it has.
And especially since it's summer soon... I miss winter. >_>

And the igloos! What about the igloos!?

[Shioban]

This is a "Putting the toothpaste back in the tube" scenario sadly.

Frankly I'm kind of miffed as it is that they made the part of Coerthas with Natalan (and Garuda) snowy for 2.0. I love how they go through the story explaining you need poweful ice magic to nullify Garuda's barrier, yet the whole of the zone is COVERED IN FREAKING ICE AND SNOW.

You mean the quest that took you to an area of Coerthas you not only cannot see from Central Highlands (I can see the Burning Wall from Southern Thanalan, I think I'd be able to see a giant tornado if it were anywhere nearby), but clearly wasn't covered in snow?

Also, ice and snow is powerful ice magic? They're weather. If weather is that powerful then you shouldn't be able to cast Fire spells in the rain...

If The Howling Eye shows us anything, it's that there is an area of Coerthas that isn't covered in snow, and with four sections of Coerthas yet to be added, I'd say chances are high one of them will lack snow...

Psst.



Work has clearly been done on other parts of Coerthas. They just haven't added them to the game yet. No clue as to why not...but still.

Because plot.

That big gate they've put up in Mor Dhona now? Imagine if they put a NPC there who'll take you to Coerthas Central Lowlands, which has recently thawed (while the Highlands still haven't because, well they're Highlands...). Why'd it thaw? We kicked Shivas butt. If you haven't reached that point in the quest, you cannot access that area. Similar to many of the CoP zones in XI.

It would work nicely, more so since a recent update showed they can change NPC dialogue based on quest progression. All the NPCs in Coerthas Central Highlands could act as though the winter is still unended until you do that quest, then they start mentioning how the south is thawed instead.

you do know they admitted that image was a concept image of what the UI will look like and was NOT an in-game screen shot? I mean heck it clearly shows 6 bag slots!

[Kat_Manx]

Well, Shiva most likely will be there. So... probably not. Maybe it will have a story, you see.

Moon fell, Shiva woke up, now she's mad, everything is cold forever.
Considering she is in the center of all E3 posters instead of Ramuh, maybe we'll also find out real soon.

[Lithera]

Looking at the map of 1.0 Coerthas I would surmise that the Howling Eye is in that NW corner of what was Eastern Coerthas. THe small section that looked to only be accessible by going through Natalan. Pretty likely that the ice and snow don't extend far if at all into the east. That would fit with Shiva being HQed in Western Coerthas beyond the ice wall.

[Marael]

By roughly calculation, it's been more than decades in Eorzean time since ARR being released, and we still got this forever winter?

Lately been spending weeks around this place grinding & farming DoL, and I'm getting real sick seeing snow anymore. ><

Send a giant meteor or flare or something. For pete's sake, cease these boring-wintery thingie! And give us back the beautiful greens of Coerthas we once knew... ><

That's the problem with nuclear winter... it tends to last a few thousand years. Drop a piece of the moon on where you live and see how the weather looks in a few decades.

Joking aside, though, I thought they did a pretty good job of showing that the moon exploding and falling in pieces to the ground, combined with a gigantic pissed off dragon attack actually had an effect on the land.

[LadyVal]

Wow those screenies of old Coerthas are gorgeous! Hopefully they bring that back, and also expand our snowy areas as well. ^^
