Let me be the first (I think) to say that I really like this new layout for the Bazaar. It's more open and spacious, and there's a lot more to explore. Doesn't seem so crammed and tight-clustered. :)

Like the other changes so far, too. Thanks!

And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,

Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

Your post count won't matter until it's a good and funny number, buddy. Shoot for 6,969

Also yes, the new Bazaar and the things in it are cool. I like the Hall of Information and Chirpirs.

Experience from 2010 tells me that ye olde computers might struggle hard with the new bazaar, but I think most players are on non potato computers these days. Looks nice.

Also I sometimes play on the server I guess.

Today I took a look at the new bazaar and couldnt find the Ciphers. Its not noted on the map, sadly. Also there are lights on a line which hangs too deep for large races.

Otherwise its a nice place to be!

It is less resource intensive the the other Bazaar map.

I really like the layout, I think it flows a lot better than the old one. I think the balcony just outside of ciphers is a little clustered for we of large base, and i think the space between the crafting area and the fire is a little too spacious but i might just me used to cramped space :P. But those are just super small complaints. I like the more sophisticated look of some of the stalls too, particularly for mrs. Hag, she deserves it!

I love the new area, with the wide streets, lots of visibility stalls galore and the new shops and areas are pretty great (I always wanted to know what the corpse curing shop was like). It feels both friendly and exciting and alien at the same time, perfect for an entrance door. THe big buildings, Chirpers and the Halls of information, is also a good solution for questing and lounging about. The Market has this Ankh-Morporkian vibe that i really like.

My rig can run The Witcher 3 on 1080p, 50-60FPS on Ultra, but it can lag like hell from NWN2. Its not really a hardware issue, more like the game renders everything you can and cannot see from the camera is at, so if you keep the camera on ground level it will try to render everything (not just the house in front of you) until the horizon... which will lag.

The Ciphers reside at the Gymnasium in the Clerk's Ward.

Chirpers is the massive building just behind Dion's bar.

Hopefully this clears things up a bit!

I connected today on Sigil after the update. The moment I was ported to the bazaar, I loved it. From the new layout, the new NPCs and the new areas + the tunnels and quests. I've been running for two hours non-stop around every nook, cranny, corner, over and under stuff to explore it, to sate my adventurers' hunger. From the general feel of every new zone, and the new NPCs that provide lore information about the city, the planes, portals and so on and so forth.

To cut this rant short...I bow my head, on my hands and knees to the dev team and builders who built and scripted all of the content. You sirs and ladies, rocked my socks off ! *Proceeds to raise the devil horns in your honor !* Awesome...And I do mean...AWESOME work ! /endrant

I think my favorite part is how predominant the factions are now. Almost every NPC seems to be displaying a badge in one way or another and I love it.
A helpful support-shape person. Please feel free to poke me at any time if you need assistance and/or want pictures of cute puppies.

I like it.
Except the part where my computer goes into slideshow mode anytime I look towards the centre of the bazaar. :(
Also like that entering the Undersigil was finally assigned to '1'(which is so much more natural), although now I have to re-train my muscle memory from scratch again. :P
