I Love The Observatory, But...

[Voaster]

Just finished the Observatory in my Dojo and was marveling at the new view we have of space, but then I noticed;

We have a giant Tigris and 2 giant Vectis attached to our Dojo!

 

Tigris in the center pointed out

(Tigris on my back for reference)

 

Vectis up, and on both sides. upside down and pointed backwards

 

Again, love the new room :O

[xRufus7x]

They are obviously there for defensive purposes.

[(PSN)natek_morzy]

What the hell. Lmao.

 

Great find.

Well, we got the design from somewhere....

[Soulie]

Yeah how you think they keep the game install size so small? Reuse assets wherever they can.

yea! maybe in the future we can fight the Galleon with our Dojo weapons! :D

Go back to the Soul Cairn where you belong.

Well, yeah, that's the technical explanation but it's so much less fun than supposing the mini things are based on our base defenses.

I cannot see the picture, can you put the link there instead?

the Dojo is a transformer that can dual wield primary weapons!

^this so much xD

[FishBonker]

Glad im not the only one that noticed, thought I was going crazy, damn cool find xD

[Bongever]

S@$% the Fomorians, we have defensive Cannons~

[Morwyn]

Um, no.

 

This is what happens when level designers are either rushed or lazy. They take existing assets and scale them to gargantuan proportions. Look around, WF is full of this, look around for massive polymer drops - those blue/striped resource drops. Yeah.

How can you call DE lazy when they stayed in the office until well after midnight their time to get U13 out? They promised they wouldn't go home until the patch was down, I bet a lot of other companies would've broken that promise.

Vay Hek Terra Frame vs Dojo Terra Frame.

 

DE pls :3

This world building trick has been used for several games in the past, I've seen it done in some of the Unreal games (Which DE also developed lol). Modular 3D assets (Particularly weapons) used in creative ways to make cool environments or space ships.

[RazorTip]

Also, sort of relevant to this whole "reusing assets" thing, did any of you notice the back-mounted Pentas the Hyena pack have on them?

 

All the little details...

[Zkorp]

it's a very good reusing !: These are tenno's design, i find this inventive and intelligent. Why not using good design again ? Or texture, or preset moves ?

 

I'm all for this ! +1 ! reuse the good thing, if it's good somewhere it can be good everywhere with some inventivity.

[Ourobor]

It's entirely conceivable that the Tenno have consistent design for their weapons and that they make their defensive weapons look similar to their personal weapons. Why reinvent the wheel with the design of their weapons when they could just reuse the way they look.

[azour]

Its like when i was a kid i used to pretend that my toy guns where spaceships and submarines.

Good find.

[Ionus]

Brace for gorgon cruiser!

Calm down, Sir Whiteknight. I didn't unequivocally state that DE were lazy. There are many reasons why this is possible, I simply gave two examples.
