Talk:Boreal Station

Attribute Explanation?

As there is no easily findable explanation to "WTH happened to my Attribute points".. the game generated reassignment.. I think the players deserve one in a place easy to find, such as this page.

Proposed add comment

The snow wurms are also good for solo farming Treasure Hunter.  The area with the snow wurms contains up to two locked chests.  

A wurm can be easily killed by a single PC (no sharing gold or drops) and the chests and wurms will drop a gold weapon (for Wisdom title) every 1 or 2 runs.

hmmm, but that'd be the wrong page to do so. a better place to post this would be on the notes section of Ice Cliff Chasms —ZerphaThe Improver 21:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Regarding "trivia": "Boreal" just means "Northern". That's why the Aurora in the Northern Hemisphere is called the Aurora Borealis, because it's in the north. This sets it apart from the Aurora Australis, which is in the Southern Hemisphere. --24.46.164.83 00:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Quest?

Isn't Hero's Tutorial considered a quest? So shouldn't it be on here?

Trivia

I don't think the station's name is thought to link to Aurora Borealis but to it's ambient boreal ecosystem[1] and clima zone .85.177.105.111 11:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Boreal is the Latin word for north. There's no reason to list that trivia. ~Shard 01:47, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, – Emmett 02:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

While the Latin word Borealis isn't enough, by itself, to list the trivia, go outside Boreal Station and look at the renderings in the sky. VERY similar to Aurora Borealis. I'd say put the trivia back in. Elysea 02:04, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

You're joking right? In case you didn't read anything on this page, boreal means "north." You know, like the theme of the expansion. Boreal Station was named so because it is in the north, not because it has lights above it. ~Shard 02:14, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Reading comprehension fail less, plz. Where, anywhere, does it say that Boreal Station was named because it was in the north? Nothing in the in-game description. Boreal is the Latin word for North. That's... all. Unless it's some unbelievable coincidence that the sky right outside the station is how it is, I still say to put it back in. I mean, if "Cowl Fiercetongue," still has that trivia about being a reference to Simon Cowell, this is less of a stretch. Elysea 02:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

As "Boreal Station"->"North Station" is the simplest explanation and it makes sense, I'd say it doesn't need another note. The most i'd advocate for is a trivia for defining "Boreal" --JonTheMon 02:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Your logic is so bad you could have invented a new fallacy. What would you like to call it?

Let's substitute Boreal for North, since they mean exactly the same thing. Here's your logic:

"It's named the North Station because there are lights above it, NOT because it is in the north."

I'm all for saying boreal means north in Latin, but stating this place was named after anything would be wrong. ~Shard 02:26, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Either you have totally misconstrued my point, or I have failed to make my point clear. I obviously misspoke above. What I was referring to was the note about Aurora Borealis, about how the name Borealis by itself wasn't enough to merit the note, but the name and the sky outside DID merit a note. I'm all for putting Boreal = north in Latin in the Trivia. I think we were labouring under the impression of two different trivia notes. Elysea 02:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I think it was the same note but we were talking about completely different parts of it. Regardless, most games have phenomena modeled after real life (shameless plug: my game has eclipses), and the aurora is no exception. Other parts of the game have them too, they're not exclusive to this area. There's no reason any mention of the lights needs to be there, except possibly to say they're pretty. ~Shard 02:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay, I see where the communication went wrong. I think we're really on the same page, actually, so... Sorry about the misunderstanding, have some cake, I swear it's not a lie. [2] Elysea 04:15, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Glitched out the zone..?

So, I went to go and start EOTN on my Rit. I went through the gate with the 3 heroes, MOX/Ogden/Vekk. I zoned and had forget to set up the heroes accordingly. I went back, assigned skills, and went to walk back out the portal. I then walked right through the portal and into Ice Cliff Chasms without ever loading it back up and whatnot...I'm looking at it now and am not close enough to monsters yet to tell what's up there...just figured I'd freak out about it here.

Well, I walked about five more feet from where I took a screencap, and I teleported infront of the hero quest giver...yay. I'll sign this time btw. 63.117.247.103 04:42, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, I went through the portal again to not get as far...and teleported to the same place. I tried again and Zoned. I saw two people walk and Zone right the first time so I don't know what happened 63.117.247.103 04:43, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
