Sarnak playable race screenshots [Archive] - EQ2 Forum Archive @ EQ2Wire

I wish to God Kunark was included back when EQ2 was first released. I remember playing EQ 1 and how we all begged to have the Sarnak be the next playable race before the Froglok's were selected as the next playable race. Now with this expansion they are playable. It's a shame this is coming out in november. I'm already looking forward to AoC and possibly GnH. I quit EQ2 3 months after release cuz I couldn't deal with no diversity with classes, how all the armor and weaps looked exactly the same, and the whole combat system was trash. I hated sitting with a group and it taking about 2 minutes to kill a frikin bumblebee. 6 people beating the hell out of a mob for 2 whole minutes. I was a brigand and my great massive damaging attacks were barely doing anything to the mobs. How boring and lame. I hear EQ2 changed so much in the last year and a half and ppl say it's actually alot better now than it was in 04-05 when I played. Now I see the greatest expansion that ever came out in EQ1 is finally being brought to EQ2. I loved Kunark more than any other continent. Those Glory days in LOIO, Seb, Skyfire Mountains,Chardok,Karnor's Castle, etc etc. Man I loved Kunark! Killing Trakanon and Venril Sathir for the first time felt so exhilerating, I'll never forget it. Ahhhh the memories. But its a shame this had to come out so late <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Who knows, maybe AoC and GnH will both suck and I could still possibly find my way back to EQ2...

EQ2 has changed drastically from what it was at launch. I originally left EQ2 for many of the same reasons as yourself after playing it in Beta and up till the first expansion release. I hated the fact that mob encounters were locked so nobody around you could help if you got in trouble, you couldn't get a rez from someone not in your group, and buffs were limited to group members. All of those factors are restraints on the believability of a game world reality. It makes the experience feel more like a game and less like an alternate reality.Some of those things have changed now, and the game is a lot more fun to play then it was before. There are still some things that need to be changed before EQ2 will truely be the best MMORPG on the market.That being said, I am highly looking forward to the release of Rise of Kunark.Swifthand wrote: <blockquote>I wish to God Kunark was included back when EQ2 was first released.

I think female, the breast plate thing seems to cover up that area more than i would believe the male version would.. and it looks more female than male to me..

Cusashorn

07-10-2007, 09:33 PM

Yes, It has quite a short beak, I imagine males are more elongated.Also: Sarnak and Iksar are reptillian creatures. No breasts or nipples, so no need for censorship. Heck, the female Iksar monks in EQlive went barechested.

I don't think so, I think it fits as their tail appears to be more of the centerpiece back there while their hip bones stick out in a very dragon-like way... Look at large lizards, for example, then imagine them upright... They really wouldn't have very nice butts... um... But that brings to mind a question...

Wildmage

07-11-2007, 01:04 PM

I hate to burst people's bubbles but I HIGHLY doubt that model is the PC version, it looks like the classic sarnak, not the mutated PC sarnack we were promised. the armor its wearing is also more or less the same armor EQ1 sarnak wore and is unlikely to be equipable armor.

Just wanted to pop in to note that these are NPC Sarnak screen shots and Not PC. Expect to see some early screen shots and possibly more of the PC version around Fan Fair time. There will be a visual and lore difference between the PC and NPC version, just as there is with the High Elf and the New Tunaria High Elf.

I said this in the other Sarnak screenshot thread and I'll say it here too. I hope that the player models keep that beautiful body shape the NPC has. I really hope they don't use the excuse of genetic/magical mutation as a way just to give the Sarnak the same old bodies everyone else has with a Sarnak shaped head.

I have to say that even though that is the NPC version of the Sarnak, I really like it. The only thing I would change is make the feet less fat and give it a longer tail like the old EQ1 Sarnaks. Either way, I am really getting excited about starting my Sarnak when the expansion comes out... Now I just got to decided.... Assassin or Monk...

Edit: I just hope that when they add in Kunarkian Goblins, that they make them look like the old EQ1 Kunark goblins. They had this punk feel to them that I really liked compared to the "other" goblins scattered across Norrath.

Pretty Much for Kunark style mobs If it ain't broke don't fix it would be a good attitude, I want upgraded graphics of the giant leeches, drovlag(don't use the hulkgnolls of Splitpaw please), the Angry Sasquatch, iksar skellies (personal favorite and I think a likely chance to be Someone's pet upgrade Necro or Sk temp pet).

I feel they will be more human like than the NPC counterparts. I know some may disagree with that *IF* that is the case, but you must think of it from a development standpoint - the armor situation, fitting it to each model, etc. I could be wrong, but I really think they will be bulkier and probably between old sarnak and iksar build-wise... That's my theory. ^_^

One of the reasons why I play ratonga is because they're different from the others. Heck I'd be happy if it looks like the concept art version. That Art version and the NPC one do look a bit different, and it's not because of One's drawn and the other's modeled.

Nayurayne

07-12-2007, 04:47 AM

Yeah the Ratonga are okay, but I would miss the big feet. Frogloks have big feet. Heh, stretch out the frogloks! It might work right?Anyway, that was one thing my other game did well. You had the humanoid races such as elves and whatnot and you had the beast races like the reptilian sslik...that to be honest look a lot like the sarnak but with a stubbier tale and different head. They had the different body shapes was my point.

Enever

07-12-2007, 04:50 AM

It could, I chose the ratonga, because they are pretty humanoid looking, and they have big feet, just not as big as the NPC sarnak. I'd hate for the Digitgrade look to be taken away. That really gives them that beastman look.

Nayurayne

07-12-2007, 04:55 AM

Yeah, I agree. I thought I should also note that the sarnak in the concept art is also an NPC. We've had to pictures of the playable sarnak race, concept or otherwise...unfortunatly.

Deadrus

07-12-2007, 11:24 AM

I realy hope the play able sarnak dont look too differnt from the old sarnak. Beacuse if they are iksar with a sarnak head and a thiner tail i will be [Removed for Content]. Iksar dont get there old home back and the new playable sarnak dont look like sarnak? That would be horible. I really wan the playable sarnak to be as close to the orginal sarnak as posible. As far as armor goes the devs said along with the new skeletal system theyve been working on for a year they said they are also doing like and armor morphing techonlogy to resize the armor atomaticly around the bodys. So I really hope sarnak keep there unique look. I mean Froglocks aren't like any of the other races. I really think the sarnak should be just as unique looking as they alwasy have. Don't humanize them please SOE.

They still have the digitgrade look, not much of one, but it passes.

I've not heard anything definitive about what classes are going to be allowed the Sarnak. Yes, they are goin to be a neutral race with a neutral city, but other neutral races can also be good and evil classes if they pick a side then keep that race when going into Exile and staying in Exile or moving to Maj'Dul. There is currently no class that a neutral race cannot be so I find it hard to believe they would go against precedence and cut off OVER half of the games classes to the Sarnak by only allowing them to undertake classes that are shared by both good and evil alignments. A link with a statement stating such would be helpful. Thanks

Ixalmaris

07-12-2007, 01:30 PM

I don't think the Sarnak will be limited to neutral classes as they would be unable to play a lot of class types (Brawlers, Crusaders etc). Can anyone guess what class the Sarnak PC was in the video?

One thing that wasn't noted though, is that he mentioned that both Iksar and Sarnak can start in the Timorous Deep. Maybe this "neutral city" isn't so much neutral as it is a new faction that doesn't side with Qeynos or Freeport. If there's a new city for both Sarnak and Iksar in the TD, that is going to be my mystics new home. Screw these softskins.

Lotus

Scott was driving around the Player Race version of the Sarnak. What you saw in that video is very early on our part. The Sarnak PC changes daily as we hone in on the look and feel of what we are reaching for. If you watch closely you will notice that only a few animations are hooked up to the new player race. On turns and such you can see the Sarnak pop up as it plays standard humanoid animations.

Aww Lotus you had to go an say that eh? The model that was there isn't to bad (I think I saw feet different from humans, was hard to see). I still like the huge feet of the NPC one but that tail on the player one is beautiful. Although we didn't actually see anything in much detail. Hopefully if that model changes at all it becomes only more beastlike.

Well with that new e3 video we have an image of what the sarnak will look like now. I must say they dont look like humans with a tail and a sarnak head on them, they are actually sort of hunchbacked like on eq1 <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I actually rather like the hunched over look and that tail is beautiful too. Nice and long. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I always thought the iksar tail was rather short and stubbish. I do wonder how tall they are though. I mean either that's one small sarnak or one frikken huge Droag.

Yeah that's one of the reasons I don't use my cloak as an iskar. I hate how my tail just swings right through the flesh of my legs. Not so bad without the cloak though.

I just wear a long cloak and forget I have one it keeps going into my poor Warg's lower back anyway, though heres hoping the Skeletal revamp will make iksar tails (and sarnak tails eventually) stop violating our mounts spine.

It's funny you mention that because I watched the video before reading this reply by you, and I just assumed that they stood upright when strafing hahaha... I just had assumed that was part of their movent nature <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ... you know like how very cautious animals stand errect when they are looking for predators.Lotus wrote: <blockquote>Scott was driving around the Player Race version of the Sarnak.

Have they released any pics of a female sarnak yet? Really curious what they are gonna look like I can't wait to play one either. Only thing that put me off is the oversized feet, reminds me of WoW too much lol. But they were like that in EQ1 I guess.

Will there be a female choice in the Sarnak playable race? I hope so... one of my favoritist toons in any MMO ever was a female iksar in EQ1.

Looks female to me too. I wonder how customizable they will be. What I mean is, I don't really see how you can make one sarnak face look very much different then another. I guess customization will have to come in the form of scale patterns and horn configurations. All in all i think they are pretty scary looking and will appeal more to men then women so I would venture to guess after the intial glow wears off most sarnaks we see running around a year from now will be male.
