Nosgoth Gets Big Update
The latest update to Nosgoth that went live earlier today includes a new map and a new skin among other changes.
The premier new addition is the new map known as The Crucible. You can see the map in action in the video at the bottom of this post. Cat Karskens, who I spoke to regarding Nosgoth’s eSports potential, gave this description of the map on the Nosgoth Blog.
“Defined by forges and workshops, gladiatorial training grounds and arenas, slave pens and birthing catacombs, our latest update brings you to The Crucible – the heart of the Turelim’s war machine.
This proud clan built their cities under the harsh landscape of Tartarus where survival would hone their strength. Harnessing the elemental power of the earth itself, the Turelim were originally tasked by Kain himself with defeating the one true obstacle to the Vampire’s domination of Nosgoth – the sun itself. Using a combination of engineering, alchemy, and geomancy, the Turelim shaped gargantuan volcanic furnaces that belched forth smoke thick enough to block out the sun’s deadly rays.”
Today’s update also includes the Deceiver Evolved Skin, the introduction of a penalty for leaving games and introduces a pack that offers up all classes and other items for a single price. Full details of other changes such as HUD tweaks and gameplay changes can be seen on the Nosgoth Blog.
