‘Alternate dimension’ could refer to a dimension upon which alternate realities, worlds, spatial constructs… could exist. However, a dimension is the plane upon which entities can exist, and not the entities themselves. Perhaps such an alternate place could possess alternate dimensions and therefore be all the more alien, but, fundamentally, a dimension itself is not a thing that you can visit, observe, or(outside of some pretty nearly purely fictional stuff) manipulate, they are just a bit too abstract… So calling The Netherworld an alternate dimension really isn’t accurate.
“Nether” is basically a term used to refer to a specific group of Cataclysm: D.D.A. entities. They are the ones most likely to operate according to different rules, such as flying without exploiting low pressures, travelling through solid objects, that sort of thing. They tend to hang out around portals. It is possible that the other invaders come from specific places while the nether critters are from everywhere that isn’t specific and just sort of ‘show up’ when you start playing with portals between worlds…
Another way of looking at it is that nether, when referring to this game, is a synonym for “Lovecraftian” which should show up on plenty of searches…
[quote=“yonsisac, post:11, topic:6105”]Indeed but still
is the nether in futer updates can we travel to the nether? thanks[/quote]
Indeed, but still...
In future updates will we be able to travel to The Nether? Thanks.
I believe that it is planned, but a long way off, and possibly only to a very limited extent.
[quote=“yonsisac, post:7, topic:6105”]so the nether is the “under world” its not a alien planet? well still i now what is the nether but 1 more question
in the futer updates is it gona be posible to go the the Nether and im bad at grama yes i now but im not frome america so its hard if you ar going to ask im spanish[/quote]
So The Nether is the "under world". It's not an alien planet? Well still, I know what The Nether is but I have 1 more question.
Well, there could be planets there, and it is alien, but no path exists by which you could fly there from Earth without going through a portal. It exists in a different 'space'.
In future updates is it [s]going to[/s] gunna be possible to go to The Nether?
I get the impression that it will be, but I do not expect it to happen soon enough that I would wait for it. And it may just be small rooms or something, I wouldn't get my hopes too high that there will be a whole new overworld map to go to. But I really don't know.
I'm bad at grammar, yes I know, but I'm not from America so it's difficult. If you are going to ask, I'm Spanish.
I appreciate that it is difficult, and thank you for your efforts. I, for one, certainly do not seem to be willing to go to the effort to learn Spanish...
We are not all from The U.S.A., nor even from North America, nor even from The Americas... Honestly, America is a terrible term, but everyone uses it so I can't really blame any individual. Blaming ALL of the individuals though...
I saw a "you are" in there, and just had to say something. It is perfectly correct to say "you are" and that is a fine and noble thing to do. It is also accurate to contract it to "you're". On the other hand, "your" is something different, and folk constantly seem to get this wrong. "You're" means "you are", "your" roughly means "belonging to you". You're wearing your clothes. Your swimming pool is not safe. You're now drowning. You're going to find that there're many words in their language that they're not going to care aren't too easy to tell apart when your trying to learn how they speak.
Hrmm, my spellchecker doesn’t like “there’re”. Meh, living language, all’s fair… Oh, but it knows “all’s”, ugh, stupid Victorian nonsense…
