AQW - The Problem With AQW Storylines

This is NOT a criticism of the Darkon Saga specifically - if anything this is somewhat better than many other stories and releases in the past. It's a criticism of how AQW designs its storylines, quests and maps etc. How would you change AQW's story aspect if you could?

[@Gobna97]

The game itself is Old and it is how the system will be. Unfortunately, the quests and battle system will always get repeated. THis is the same thing with new classes. What is the point of having new classes when people are gonna compare it to VHL and LR? Otherwise, if the class is better than those two, people will complain that they took a lot of time getting those classes. At least they are adding the ULtra Bosses which the make the game more fun since you need to work with others to win the battle. But other than that there is nothing else you can do. WHich is why they made AQ3D where the things that can be changed are now utilized in this game.

[@KracklinDark]

You could have picked last week storyline man. This is a problem because there's been so many mediocre storylines that players have basically been trained to do skip text. You could have picked one of those storylines and not the best thing the game has written since Throne of Darkness.

[@GamerGunnar]

I actually really liked the darkon Saga. It's the first good one since throne of darkness. Regarding the wall of text criticism I mean, that's just what it's always been. Every storyline since I started laying back in 2009. If you take the time to read the "wall of text" you actually get involved with the story and start to understand why it is you're killing the specific enemy for that quest. I don't think aqw is dying because of it's storylines, It's dying because they abandoned it for AQ3D and are no longer promoting it so there's no new players. Back when I started playing it as advertised everywhere. Every player these days have played for like 5-10 years and is getting tired of the game. Like how often do you see a level 10 these days ? Or even a level 40 ? if you see a level 40 it's just a old player checking his account. AQW needs new players, It needs noobs.

[@thexotato1056]

The darkon saga is probably the only storyline that I bothered to read and watch cutscenes of. I think the argument you're making is fair for pretty much every other storyline in the game (even the 13 lords of chaos to some degree) but this saga has been pretty interesting to me just because of the unique concept art

[@thexotato1056]

skipping through the cutscenes makes you miss out on some of the craziest animation and art aqw has ever created in the history of the entire game.

[@bruh6267]

Yeah especially the last cutscene, those POV shots made my eyes wet lmao

[@thexotato1056]

@@shiverpurple2 it's pretty unfair to call it just a black screen map since it was an animated background with stars. The final boss fight background would've been pretty crazy too if the game wasn't running at 4 frames a second

[@TheSpookster]

Honestly same, I started out ignoring everything, but once I saw how interesting the artwork was I got intrigued and started reading the text. This saga was probably one of the most touching sagas in the entire game

I actually didn't care about the saga until I saw posts of potential darkon class and I had no clue as to what was happening story wise luckily I was bored enough to use my 2nd acc to start the quest from the very beginning and understand the saga and indeed it's very good however it made it fun in a way because you start from the very beginning to the last, no 1 week or so delays, so you'd actually remember what happened.

but honestly it great story

[@Gobna97]

I really don't understand why is so hard to read the cutscene perfectly or read the quest box dialogue properly. It will only take a few minutes. I am sure you read dialogues from other games but AQW it is always skipped. What is the point of playing the game just to rush through the event to unlock the boss, get the loot and probably just end up banking it? Not to mention that most of the loot is always recycled. I know it is not the best story out there but at least it is decent enough to keep you interested. It just frustrates me that people skip cutscenes all the time without bothering to watch it.

[@thomassinker7936]

Indeed. People like this guy should just quit the game or at least shut up. They are nothing more that just annoying crying botters

[@Lufffloof]

Cus it's been that way for more than a decade. Back then sure, but now it's different. Noone comes here to play AQW like we used to because alot of things have changed. But the game hasnt. The only attractive things are ultra-bosses or new fashion items, or new classes. The reason why people would read dialogues from other games is because its more interesting than 50% of the game. Here, as crude as it is, noone gives a shit because its boring. Its the same shit over and over and over again but everyone who plays keeps hoping things would change

[@thomassinker7936]

@@Lufffloof WoW is exactly like this for almost 20 years. Questing is same as in Aqw, wall of text is same, map layout is more or less same.

[@marcus549]

I'm going to have to disagree with you. I read the walls of text and I even read the quests and the turn in text. Story areas don't give huge rewards since the story and adventure is the reward. This has been the case for AQW since the beginning. Not gonna tell you to start reading every weekly story event but the darkon saga was really entertaining with cool characters and a good story. You aren't giving the events a chance here. Honestly if the game stops having story content then I really will just quit. I already have all the damage boost weapons and the best classes. A game with only farming would actually suck. The darkon saga was great and other stories like seppy and throne of darkness were great and last weeks event with drakath was entertaining enough. Honestly I would say the darkon saga was better then the original chaos saga. When the game was at it's biggest back in the day stories without rewards was all you ever did. We have fewer stories then ever now so it's nice when we actually get something good. Please actually read the text. Your critique sounds like someone looking at all the pictures in a book without reading it and then telling everybody the book was boring.

[@RicochetAQW]

Nah chaos Saga was waaay more rewarding. You'd get hella rep when doing the quests which brought you closer to getting a good class e.g. shaman, Darkblood storm king Also back then you'd level up a decent amount which actually meant something cuz going from level 30 to level 35 was a pretty big deal. Your comment has made me consider making a video called 'I played Darkon saga and read every wall of text' cuz I may actually do that.

[@marcus549]

@@RicochetAQW Eh I agree that the Darkon saga doesn't have much in terms of classes and stuff(but it seems we'll get a class for darkon revealed in a couple weeks hopefully) and I have also skimmed some of the more dry stories. Personally though I just find reading the stories fun and a relaxing quick thing to do after real life work. Totally recommend going through the Darkon saga again! Cool characters and the dialogue is pretty fun! A lot of the story is in the quest text so I recomend checking them.

Wall of text comment, neererd

[@yourbangbusuber2577]

Nothing can be really innovated with this style of game, I'd say the biggest problem is how the story is accessed. Unless it's the "freshest" release. many people aren't going to know where to start until getting softlocked out of content because (place NPC here) tells them/ports the player to the previous area where the npc might still say "Come back once you've done x" Obviously we have /join whateverland once we find out what it is that we want to explore/story/shop/farm., but with the rusted system that flash is. The biggest change to how engaging AQW story telling/exploring can be, would be pumping out 2D asap. No one wants to watch a cutscene in 4fps. No one wants to be told "come back later" after finishing something you had no clue needed to be completed. As far as I'm concerned the best change would be porting players(Including players that finished a certain part) to the respectable start of said stories map. Also the voice acting(where it's present) just needs to be left out. It ranges from "Is their mic broken?" to "heh-, You made me use 10% of my cringe, kid."

[@RicochetAQW]

Honestly, I think more people would play them from start to finish if they were added to the world map and there was a clear path from start to finish. Add in a rep and a class and boom you've got an official town in the world map where people will regularly go.

[@velyro4424]

@@RicochetAQW As well as adding all the locations to the world map, it would make the story much more accessible if they made a better storyline timeline for all of the story, not just chaos, queen of monsters, shadows of war I and Shadows of Chaos and made it less of a chore to scroll through. They already have the story and adventure tabs, so they could just combine them into a better timeline: e.g how Dragonfable does it by splitting stories into Book 1, 2 and 3 and putting all events in chronological order.

[@cryobomber8845]

I haven't played Aqw in years but I still like to check up on it once in a while and in terms of player count it goes up and down beginning of 2022 it had around 5000 or more players across the months now 3000ish don't really know when the game will fully die but seems like it's still going to be decently active for a long time it's not the best game but all the improvements they have been slowly adding like class buffs is nice to see and Im sure new/returning players will have a lot to do.

[@Mini_Pixels]

I personally think them putting 10+ quests or something in a storyline is something i hated in big storylines, I rather just want some few quests and have an actual meaning to the story, instead of doing something that feels too long or boring to do and i just feel demotivated doing them cuz it's all the same thing I'm doing.

[@imaperson682]

Besides the boorish tangent of mine, cheers for the great videos and analyses, mate! I can absolutely see your point. Not just the quests, the mobs have gotten to the point where it is possible for botting to occur. Aside from monsters like the turrets in J6’s starship, Colossal Primarch, Archfiend Dragonlord, Binky, Desoloth, and challenge bosses, everything else has gotten horribly stale. If your set isn’t (Dual) Exalted Apotheosis (or a +75% weapon damage boost item + Infernal Flame Pyromancer), Drago’s Royal Guard, Head of the Legion Beast, Awescended Omni Wings, and Polly Roger, your overall damage and rewards are subpar. Contrary to the wall of text, my enjoyment as an AQW player hasn’t exactly waned, but I am salty with how AE worded the change in Elemental Warrior’s method of acquisition saying “... we wanted it to be usable and fun for everyone.” despite it still being Non-Mem AC only and member only. It’s been addressed, so it would also be wonderful if AE finally fixes the issue with equipping boosting items and cosmetic items. Unfortunately, there are so many sets players miss out on equipping due to missing out on boosts. Making a game is insanely difficult, but instead of a new release, we would much rather prefer the fix of major issues. Any issues you guys have with the current AQW?

[@cakeinparadise]

I feel like the critique on reading is more about the gameplay. I love reading the quest dialog, I hate killing 12 random enemies in between them. I more or less determine if I'll read the questline based solely on how much random bullshit I have to kill between learning things

[@E0nW0lf]

The general releases when it comes to a " new story" has been the same for a long time, and that's the issue, especially when this game has lost the aspect of teamwork and sociability. New super bosses has just been a general find a team if you can and play the rotation if you actually have friends on or people who are willing to join you and new stories are just a "obliterate everything for 5 quest or a few more" and log out or play the new grndfest for a 25%+ damage boost weapon which may be completely irrelevant if you have doom wep or an equivilant or spend money on the new fashion or membership/coins, which would be welcome if the game wasn't so stale. Aqw was unique, I use to play this game religiously with friends and family but now, theirs nothing to really keep you on, theirs no real reason to spend money or keep you on when everyone is just afking in yulgar with their Uber rares after the 15 minutes of the new release and sitting their like that's "cool". This game has become nothing more then a fashionable slide show, even with the new changes, theirs no redemption when the one thing that kept people together which was the community is as bad as any other grindy mmo which is essentially, be force to play to catch up or finish the new release and call it a day. Throwing a Uber boss is irrelevant when hardly anyone really talks or are as social as it was back then, now they bring it in and the only people who really benefit are guilds at best because if you just join a room and your insufficient it's a "gtfo" game like, once again, any other horrid mmo or your "team" is so disjointed you fail and people run for another room. A aka toxic social force like other mmo's. Don't get me started on ac chests and people who crap themselves over badges, lmao, yes because your shiny badges are just gleaming with brilliance in a ghost town of afking yulgar. Uber bosses aren't the answer, ac chests aren't the answer, pretty clothes and power creep weapons aren't the answer, social stability and communication on this game is the answer and was the base for its charm, thats what made it fun. Where's the events like J6 live drawing? One eyed doll live? Wheres the moderator community events?. They might as well let it die like all the other grindy trash rpgs that have fallen over the years with this uber boss/money grab fill in. This shouldn't happen because, despite all the bs, aqw has a special place in all our hearts.

[@jackspedicy2401]

Here's just a few thing I'd like to add as to why stories aren't impactful or at least not as impactful anymore. First of all so many filler releases between events that you kind of lose interest. Secondly they don't seem to build up new interesting characters especially those which will reapear. The only time I find myself some what trying to keep track of or enjoying the story is when we're playing as some old legacy character and getting a look into their life. None of the new characters mean anything they show up for a week and then are gone. When was the last time we heard from swordhavens ruler? Ive noticed everytime they release something related to the old characters or lore player counts really goes up for a small bit. Lastly they just need more direction telling stories. Darkon saga was the first real saga I feel where at least they had decent focused story telling since the 13 chaos lord time. I'm not counting throne of darkness and smaller storylines which were focused on 2 or 3 of which were good.

The game has to change massively to make the game a great game. This reading walls of text is literally I went through now for the Dage's birthday release. I have to do like 10 areas to get to the new weekly release. How to change the game is to make the farming a less thing of the game and more exploring. With exploration and write the game in 3D. Which then is better to just go to AQ3D or WoW at that point. AQW is too much focused on doing the same quest over and over again, (LR; VHL, SDKA, NSOD etc). These little areas that are not unlocked are just in the way. To remake the main focus farming to exploration of maps and doing quests with words and things you have to remember when watching a cutscene for a puzzle, things to get. I'm kind of thinking like Far Cry 4/5 sidequests, you accept the quest to fight back against enemies and then rewarded with an item than you need. Make more things of having to do more quests and less of the same things over and over again. Not having to do the quests for 9500 void auras to NSOD, instead make it one hard quests that takes long time to finish with bosses and areas finished to unlock a criteria of that quest. AQW is unique. But in the design that was made for the game two decades ago, it's too late now. AQW is AQW, A 2D game looks like paper due to old design of games. WoW looks like paper aswell due to old graphics with saga monsters instead of real world enemies.

I realize AE forgot to buff enhancements, they buff classes yet forgot to buff or atleast balance the enhancement like bruh when you enhance a certain class set the only thing that will came up are Wizard and Luck. I would consider this would be a great improvement if they balance enhancements like every enhancement has it's common uses in each class.

[@BashfulBloodletter]

I would argue people don't regularly take the time to assign each individual Enhancements or at least tell you when you ask, rather they generally say "use Luck" or whatever. Use your Class Overview and watch your stat-line under different Enhancements, and capitalize on whatever the Class appears to with its base stats. Some Classes DO like a bit of Thief or Fighter or even Spellbreaker. You just need to actually be willing to take the time to understand what you're doing.

Saludos te veo desde Ecuador y yo no leo el texto de las misiones sin embargo si leo los textos de las cutesenes los textos que hay en las pequeñas esenas de video son aveces algo entretenidas y te deja saber un pcoo mas del juego peor d todos mis conocidos que juegan aqw parece q soy el unico que lee las historias del juego

[@RicochetAQW]

me no hablos espanyol. google translate Sí, no creo que la mayoría de la gente lea las escenas.

[@iamthejustin7420]

Actually they logged in to both the story so when they have time to play after work they can do ultra darkon with friends.

[@jolodayrit558]

I love skipping so yeah, embrace skipping cutscenes.

[@albancapaj234]

Thank God you can bot this game

[@rellbezel2857]

Because those people aren’t content creators…. You literally announce what the game will tell us itself there’s really no reason to watch aqw videos.

[@inkednafraid8363]

idk, i dont really agree with any of this, the whole video youre constantly saying "im not reading this, i skip these cutscenes, and idk who this charatcer is or why theyre here." you would, if you read any of it, or didnt skip scenes. i agree the gameplay and mechanics can be very repetitive but that whole lore feature of the game is what draws me into it. if you dont like it thats fine, but its like saying idk any answers to a test cuz i didnt study or pay attention at all

[@RicochetAQW]

Dw bro watch the vid where I review darkon saga

[@inkednafraid8363]

alright ill go check it out @@RicochetAQW

[@LuisOp2]

La saga de darkon estuvo regular empezo bien pero tantas mamadãs aburrio almenos el final tuvo decente, a esperar el ultra.

[@rynldio755]

The only thing good about AQW is Gravelyn.

[@mob1939]

damn idk abaout darkon saga lol AHAHAAHA

[@NguyenMinh-gr6cg]

if you cant respect all the hard works and efforts the makers have put in those texts, cutscenes and storylines, you could delete your account and quit the game

[@Ieozawa]

Lmao cope harder, he's stating fax bro.

[@Ieozawa]

@Magic rock if you watched the video he says the only reason most players still play is because they have membership to spin daily at doom get daily tasks done and simply afk that's all there is to it.

[@RicochetAQW]

Like I said, im sure the cutscenes were decent and some are pretty good in the game but my main criticism was the quest design and how every single storyline gameplay is identical. •Do quest to kill 8 monsters •Do quest to collect 5 items in map •Kill easy boss monster with 100k HP It's boring af and repetitive. There is no variation or innovation. The only thing they put effort into nowadays is making rare sets and selling em in 10k chests.

[@user-jf2pr6fz6s]

I cannot agree with you, cause Darkon saga was really interesting and dramatic as for me (very good look surrealistic design, best characters and sorrowful story). But on the other side, yes, the most of stories are boring and you compelled to skip them.

[@EVZUSX]

i wish someone would just TLDR the whole saga for me lmao

[@Blzekun]

A man's girl dead, man wanna revenge, summon ancient stuff, dead. But this saga actually really good to follow, deep sorrowness with such unique art and some really f-ed up stuff in some of the maps

[@iamthejustin7420]

Actually nowadays you can use a bot to complete all the stories for you when you are sleeping or working. So when you actually come home from work,you can spend an hour doing ultra bosses and chilling. Having a chat with guild mates and doing some bludrutbrawl.
