hrtbrk Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 The Thieves Guild made the first move and want you to help them capture the Obelisk! See what they have to say here! Safari and Internet Explorer users can view the video ! sara1elo, Duskitty, Mouseykins and 4 others 7 Quote
sara1elo Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 This is so cool!!! My pets are not ready for the battles but I can't wait to see what is going to happen!! Really, really interesting! Quote
Eri_K Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I just *almost* watched it... LOL. It keeps freezing, but everybody at the Neopets Forum are complaining about it... I can't remember who said Kanrik would re-appear, and that's just happening! So I had to come here and say that it's just exciting to have a new plot. I just hope that it's not all-battledome-related, because I didn't like the battledome before, and probably, I'll not be able to play the new one, as my computer is pretty "old" and some of the new games just don't play here at all... :sad02: Quote
The Bandit Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Epic! Finally an up-to-date 'story' rather than a mouse-over comic :D Glad I have a fast computer ;) Can't wait until the next step... If you can't watch it, the text says (Kanrik is the narrator): It appeared without warning. Even we were taken by surprise. My guild got the word to me quickly... (Kanrik takes passage on a ship) Slow thieves are poor thieves, after all. I have no use for the empty-handed... ...and arcane artefacts are usually trouble... But something is different. This obelisk is different. No one knows what it's worth, they said. (Kanrik rows a boat ashore) No one knows who it belongs to. No one knows what it's for. The fate of the world could be at stake. (Kanrik attacks a guard at the dig site) ...But we will get it first. (Kanrik and friends stand at the edge of the dig, looking at it...) ~Xandria and allthestickysugar 2 Quote
Alishkah Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Didn't load in Safari. Had to use firefox which annoys me. Haven't watched it all yet because it freezes and also, how long does it go for? I have prepaid internet and don't want to waste it all on a super long video. Edit. Oops don't worry. Risked it. Only goes for a minute and it's EPIC!!!!! Edited February 15, 2013 by Alishkah Quote
Anime Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 The video is 1:17 long, and elbandito provided a transcript if you'd prefer to forgo the loading. Quote
Alishkah Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Watching the video has more impact than just the script.Loving the style of the video. Quote
capital_soccer_kid_1 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 So...it says all of our stuff was already stolen?....Is that actually the case? Quote
Bubbleline Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 It's time like this where I wish I had spent more time training my pets, but it got so expensive with the codestones! Oh well, I'm still quite excited to see where this goes and hopefully I can participate a bit with my lil' level 43. Eri_K 1 Quote
Eri_K Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I loved the artwork, and I'm glad they didn't just made it like 3D, but like it's sketch/draw by hand. It makes everything just more epic! Kinda like you're flipping the pages of an old book when you're a child and needs to read what's next... :laughingsmiley: I'm now wondering who will come to "save" the obelisk. Like... who's gonna claim it, or try to get it from the thieves. If it's something like: everybody against the thieves, or everybody against everybody to see who's gonna get it at the end... But I don't think the thieves can do much against the Faeries, unless they have another ancient artifact like the one Xandra used at the Faerieland Ruin, OR, they unite with Judhora... Quote
Viridian Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 So...it says all of our stuff was already stolen?....Is that actually the case? I think they mean that you can no longer dig out useful items (like before). Quote
Eri_K Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 It's time like this where I wish I had spent more time training my pets, but it got so expensive with the codestones! Oh well, I'm still quite excited to see where this goes and hopefully I can participate a bit with my lil' level 43. I think the only pet able to go and do some battles is one I'm constantly zapping at the Lab Ray... I never trained any of them, all the levels I got randomly with Coltzan and things like that... :P The few times I went to battledome was against the Neggbreaker *too easy with the amulet*, and trying to make some Defender missions, but I just gave up a long time ago...

Mireia Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) NP released a few days ago some images on their FB that have the same style as the video. the most intriguing one is this one Is that Dr. Sloth? :shiftyeyes_anim: Edit: I saw in the code that there will be a option to Join the thieves, and someone called captain. There is a link to a image called join, but is not working....I don't see any other factions, and these two are in the same one. Maybe it won't be a war after all, or there will be some kid of struggle between the thieves (us) and another Neopian villain... Edited February 15, 2013 by Mireia allthestickysugar 1 Quote
BEE. Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Oooooooh! I hope we get another update later today... I'm already getting impatient! :P Quote
d.Lia Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 NP released a few days ago some images on their FB that have the same style as the video. the most intriguing one is this one Is that Dr. Sloth? :shiftyeyes_anim: The photo description on FB says Dr. Frank Sloth isn't about to be overshadowed by a mysterious image of Kanrik, as player seahorsepond showed us with this Art Gallery entry that left us in stitches! so I'm pretty sure it's not plot-related. :/ Quote
Mireia Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 The photo description on FB says so I'm pretty sure it's not plot-related. :/ I thought so, but it would be nice to have Dr. Sloth around again... Quote
Marychicken Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Here's a youtube link for the video: P.S. : I want an Ogrin to be a part of this event. :) Quote
Viridian Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 And here's the other Youtube video that was linked in the first post :P Quote
vyvren Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I love the video, (I love the fact that TNT made a video!) and I love the Thieves' Guild :D *gets super excited* ^-^' Alishkah, Rebecca~ and The Bandit 3 Quote
Neomancer Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 This mysterious artifact stuff reminds me of the video game Dead Space. So let's hope the Tyrannians turn into necromorphs :) Quote
lovedwallflower Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 ooh colour me impressed! love the artwork and the video as a whole :D can't wait for this whole thing to continue unravelling! Quote
Angeló Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 it was a bit laggy but i finally manged to open it :) wow i love the artwork ... looks like this is going to be a good plot Quote
LillytheGrundo Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 This is going to be so fun!! I hope even us non battle people will be able to participate and have fun! I'm so excited!! ~Xandria 1 Quote
dummydumpty Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I'm so excited! Aahhhh... I think I'll side with the Thieves Guild. Quote
Xepha Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Good animation skills! It's pretty time consuming to do a decent video, especially from sketches. Anyway, I'm excited to see what else is going to happen! Quote
