New backdrops

[satchmo33]

So, we've been waiting years for some change in the wallpaper and login graphics. We're used to your absolutely GORGEOUS 'paintings'. And now you come up with this silly cartoon stuff????? I started playing this game because I was intrigued with the artwork I saw in a pop-up ad for the game...and kept playing because of the beauty of it. PLEASE - change to something beautiful. PLEASE?????

I like the new graphics. It’s better than the dramatic flower goblin on the cliff threat we got during Queen’s Retreat event, although I admire the artist who made that and got it cleared all the way through the red tapes.

I have been looking at it on Beta for 3 weeks now, and I am sick of it already. Of course it's still marginally better than the ugly girl that they make us look at when logging into Elven cities.

You know, the one that broke the game because they decided to tweak her assets after the fact.
Oh wait, did I win tourney that week because others lost troops in the crash? Never mind

Oh, crackie. You and I are just destined to disagree into infinity.... ;-)

The new splash/backdrop cartoons are hideous. I'd rather have the old standard of an elf or human man or woman than what we have now.

What is really bothersome is the time and money it took to create these atrocities when so many functional parts of the game either do not work or are not anywhere near as helpful to players as they should be.

A total waste! A real shame. The new Inno standard

I think the golem paintings we have now are very well done. We don't get backdrops on the app. wish we did.

They may be cartoonish or hideous to some but the actual artwork itself is good!
Change is good for us once in a while?

New art and problems in the game are not binary options they have to choose from though. The artists aren’t writing code. At least they shouldn’t be, or we’re going to have an even more dysfunctional game. The ones making the “wallpaper” art are also probably not the artists modeling the 3D buildings either for that matter.

Woohoo! I get to add “disagreeable into infinity” to my list of non-marketable traits!

 

[pattyelvenar]

@crackie It's still time and money being wasted. I did not mention devs ;-)

 

[crackie]

Wouldn’t they already have artists on full time staff though? Do they just twiddle thumbs until functional problems are fixed? Well, who knows. Maybe they have a volunteer army of artists too that don’t get paid…

i think it's very petty to come in here and rip some very nicely made graphics that were done by talented artists. you see the load screens for a couple of seconds and have to B&M about that it wasnt what YOU wanted to see? seriously? my FS likes any new ones so we have a shot at seeing what details the artists came up with. they're awesome and kudos to the Inno team for their work.

Still trying to figure the story line. Discover a stone golem, he awakes, then, did he bring the arch with him?

It's a video that was made a while back.

Thanks for the clarity @Lelanya.

I sure couldn't create these out of the blue.

I like the artwork ... but then, I always like the artwork! Maybe that's because I can't draw a straight line. (I probably shouldn't say that since I'm in charge of the art work for my association's website, lol.)

 

[satchmo33]

Thanks for the video Lelanya. I must admit that I was so charmed by the story...that I don't mind the graphics any more. Awwww....
