[@DragonGirlStar]

Some things I noticed: - The person at Redwake is actually a lady - Professions haven't actually released yet - Full release is probably within the next few months - There will be more sidebosses, mostly in the Greenwish side arc probably - I like the idea of a recipe book, but I don't love the armory idea. Trial and error is a huge part of making a build in this game, and having a book to tell you everything would take the fun out of that. I usually don't even look at the wiki when making a build, and mine turn out fine - There are plenty of things to do once the story is finished. I am a completionist player so I spend a lot of time on explorer/diver titles, but I also like helping out newer players with story and bosses if they need it - I agree the story seems half-baked right now, but we're definitely starting to see more interesting writing and ideas pop up. I suggest looking at the forum lore tag, once you wade through the annoying/irrelevant parts there's actually some really interesting ideas - Last I heard, there ARE going to be group bosses eventually - Dungeons might get added, they seem well-liked in Arcane Reborn - Try talking to any NPC you can, about half of them talk and some of them say really interesting things!

[@celestialdiamondgamings2297]

I find it hilariously funny that most of the bad things caused in the lore was because of a dude that blew up the planet twice

[@raul-ue1sq]

Yeah, it's longer, since Deepwoken is only one game, but arcane adventures has had like a decade (since online fighting) to build up the lore. The lore is really interesting and fun to read but Arcane Odyssey's lore is very simplistically written and is obvious that they just wanted to put the lore somewhere. Deepwoken actually uses a better vocabulary to make it seem more genuine and interesting, so I don't believe just the length alone of the lore will make it better.

[@gen_tly]

You really said "I'm not going to sugarcoat it." And I'm all in for it. "Solo Dev'ing" isn't an excuse to fail to hold promises and deliver content (this has happened three times in the past month btw, if you've been up to date with the Discord announcements.) I'm a Roblox Dev as well, and I know that every aspect of it is difficult, but damn. Giving false hope to people like this knowing he's not going to be able to keep up with the promises he makes is crazy. There's a limit to how many "Guys, let him cook, he's a solo dev!" I'm willing to hear.

[@SlavMartien]

Unfortunately, the developer cannot really fix the players spawning in dead servers. That is Roblox themselves putting the players in the servers in an attempt to revive the server. The Game Dev cant do much about it.

[@lujodrimovkvisin7843]

I honestly don't think this is an issue If it's even literally the second time you're playing on a save, you can just pick any server from the server list If it's your first time playing on a slot, dead servers don't mean much since you'll probably make a break from the game somewhere along the story so you can just pick a server after that If you intend on playing the entire story in one sitting, then you should touch some grass and get some maidens anyways Besides, there are people, like me, who like being on small servers

i remember watching a video in the past, and one of my favorite points is how developping an MMORPG in this time and age is the hardest yet dumbest thing a developper can do, the fact vetex still chose to stick to AO after all the criticism is admirable, however as i've experienced through 1.3k hours, this game doesnt have endgame content, there's nothing to really do besides pvp and some subpar unpolished pve

[@remissexcitement9952]

I have always been a large believer in the "Never settle for mediocre" mindset (when it comes to videogames, at least). I don't believe there should ever really be a point where the excuse of someone being a solo dev is viable when they've promised something. I think a great example of this situation is in a lot of the anime games, one being Anime Dimensions Simulator, ads has 1 or 2 main devs and takes so long to update the game with quite literally miniscule updates that almost never have any good changes or content additions at all (also Arcane Odyssey is a good example of why the solo dev excuse doesn't work in this scenario because of how much more is being added to AO than ads). The main cause of these problems is imo 100% the players of the games for some reason feeling the need to relentlessly make excuses and defend their favorite games, almost always in Roblox devs' case being the solo dev excuse. I always wonder how people can think waiting more than 1 year for the bare minimum is something that is totally acceptable. This is almost 100% written terribly as I wrote this comment in like a minute and am dead tired lol

@@iamwiserthanmasteryod I don’t think anyone’s coming from the angle of “I’m not skilled enough to beat this”, it’s more “how would someone playing through the game for the first time actually deal with this?” which in most cases is that they wouldn’t be able to. There are ways to prepare players for harder challenges but acting like everyone should always be prepared for incredibly hard fights off of somewhat easy fights is insane to me.

[@lujodrimovkvisin7843]

More bosses will definitely be added, so you can wipe that off the list. I'm not sure how tower gamemode would work. There are some story parts that need it and there is the notoriety navy forces, but a tower gamemode... I don't think it would fit. I am also uncertain about dungeons. In AA/AR they make sense because undead are said to be unkillable, so it makes sense that each time there are the same undead. But for AO, I think it is better to have strongholds like fort Talos or Silverhold. However, I agree entirely with the giant bosses. Though instead of a dungeon raid, I think the boss should be like Kraken from AR, spawning out in the sea for anyone to fight.

[@ramenmantoe8042]

[@xanthiusdrake2775]

One of the major mistakes Vetex and his testers and balancers are making, is that they are to focused on PvP to properly do ANY kind of balancing, and are falling for the exact same trap with balancing in fighting against metas. The mistake a lot of developers make is that if something is found to be overpowred in PvP and/or PvE, they nerf it to the ground thinking they fixed things, when in reality they only ruined a part of the game and only delayed the min/maxing meta players, who will continue to find new metas and ruin the game more and more. A very clear example is the story of the Rivers Of Blood katana from Elden Ring, people complained about it so much that Fromsoftware nerfed it so much that it is hardly usable anymore, especially in PvP. The proper way to balance a game is actually brought up by a programmer who once worked for Activision Blizzard, who goes by the name Pirate Software. He explains that the proper way to balance a game is not to nerf things that are over powered, it is instead to increase everything else. In other words, it is best to make it so that even if there is a meta, the meta cannot overpower everything else, no matter what. One of the reasons why I despise metas, is because it takes away one of the core elements of ganmes like Arcane Odyssey, and that is the players's ability to choose their own path, if you choose to follow the people who find some crazy build that dwarfs everything else, yes you will get better results, but your gameplay will have no soul or creativity, and the game will get very boring very quickly. Another problem is that the community itself is WAY to obsessed over PvP, thinking that PvP is everything and it is the games soul purpose. That is an abosulte lie through and through, PvP only makes up a tiny percentage of the games functionality, and Vetex and the testers and balancers are forgetting this fact as well. Another issue is the content creators who showcase things from the game, they don't understand that if they showcase things like that, it is likely that the developer will see things the wrong way and change something that doesn't need to be changed. Let's compare two situations, such as the gunpowder barrel nerf, and the firearms and bow&arrow nerf. many months back, a KZbinr showcased how overpowered gunpowder barrels were against bosses, since they can take away massive chunks of HP, so Vetex nerfed them and made them only do a quarter of the damage they used to do to NPCS. This was a fair change since being able to do something like that is pretty insane. On the other side of the coin, A KZbinr showcased how crazy it is to use firearms with what was the maximum attack speed you can get, and so Vetex nerfed both firearms and bows and arrows to only deal half damage to ALL NPC's, unlike the gunpowder barrels, this is stupid because this lowers their usefulness by a large amount. What Vetex should have done is only make firearms and bow and arrow weapons have this nerf on BOSSES, not every NPC in the game. So all in all, my message to KZbinrs of Arcane Odyssey is; be careful what you show and how you showcase it and talk about it, when you have a solo developer with a TERRIBLE testing and balancing team, things can go horribly very quickly.

Not many people understand the dumb stuff that Vetex had to go through to make AO. He worked on AA (Arcane Adventures) a while back and it was like not even halfway done, but at the time it was THE best RPG game on Roblox. It had 3 seas and the max level had reached 250+. But Roblox completely broke the entire game and he had to start from scratch. He went into a depression for SURE and didn't work on RPG games like AA or AO, like how he worked on other games for the time being. It was only after the pandemic that he actually started to work on World of Magic which is the game that he wanted to started fresh on. It didn't work well and he added literal AI NPCS like ones that literally act like citizens in games and such. That was too much for Roblox's engine and it wasn't at all similar to AA, so he then revamped it AGAIN to make AO. He basically had to start 3 times to make the same type of game. AO BY FAR is the best rendition of any of his games from the past, and as long as ROBLOX DOESN'T mess it up, it will be a complete game and the best RPG game on Roblox by far. Also about the comment about the Early Access, he never wanted to release the game in early access, the COMMUNITY is to blame for this. They pressured him to release and rush the game. We would've been waiting another 2 years before it would actually release.

[@smh6926]

I'd like your opinion on this entire paragraph of my thought on the game. Good games are made by the community surrounding it, and I like to think that's what you emphasize in the video to put it simply, dunno if I'm right or not but another way to say it, I think what you had in mind is a well-thought-out look into the potentials of the game both good and bad. Whether or not your opinions are in the right or wrong is hard to say on my end since my opinions are mixed. I personally find that the pvp fanatics in AO tend to ruin the fun cus a wall of skill made from one single stat of almost any kind can instantly ruin your gameplay to an extent where it's no longer fun to bother playing it anymore. And I admit that I fit well into that considering the whole shenanigan I started about aoe earth conjurers abusing attack size to kill entire parties of gankers probably was the reason that Vetex attempted to nerf attack size as a stat in the first place. Things like that tend to impact the overall enjoyability of the game from my understanding cus some of those people have so much skill that they go around killing everyone they see one by one just cus they're bored (which is the one thing I don't do). Then there's just the whole issue of island activities on the main component being a bit repetitive. To the average new user, things like treasure hunts and such would be pretty fun, but since some of your better gear can also be found there instead of in sunken gear or the dark sea, you start to go into it more only to find 0 luck in your constant treasure hunts for days or even weeks, in my case it took me over a month. Just my line of thought.

[@SlavMartien]

I agree with your pvp take and treasure hunt/dark sea take. I don't like RNG mechanics to the point where the meta armor is locked behind it. But my video wasn't about the community around the game and how it's what makes the game good, I more wanted to explain the current content, as well as explain why it's not enough content and how he needs to add more for the game to succeed. And yea, the fact that the meta is heavily leaning on attack speed right now is not good. It's also a hard thing for vet to fix since he'd had to change a lot.

[@smh6926]

@@SlavMartienI see, looks like I missed the big picture you had in mind, guess I'll take that as a learning perspective. That aside, I can also agree with the idea of adding more to the game.

To me, Arcane Odyssey is a great game in the making, but its too limited by the Roblox game engine to reach its full potential. Arcane Adventures was my childhood and I'm glad Vetex is devving AO. I do wish he'd get more people on his dev team, it'd make... development, way faster -- His games are awesome, but when it takes 2-3 months per update, or longer, and then the 'overall' content is a few hours at best, it just really tanks the game's performance and rating. The game's content, outside of the 'first look' / end of the story gets pretty dry. End game, you can fish, dig for treasure, go to diving spots, grind the dark sea and bosses for loot, or play the whole thing over again -- oh, and pvp... All of it, while fun at first, seems like a massive waste of time, a chore even. I know that Vetex is hard at work on his game, surely. But for those who are not... effectively religiously playing his game, the current available content just isn't it past the story.

Although I am listening to what you have said, I have to disagree on several points. Being a solo KZbinr is NOT the same as being a solo developer. You clearly have no idea what it is like to code a game (even a Roblox game) and how much more difficult it is than making a simple video. And you are talking about a "bEtTeR eNGinE" when there is only one engine for Roblox; this engine has shown itself to be terrible; you would know that if you were actually educated in the matter. The engine has many bugs, as Vetex has said before on Twitter. Although I do like your ideas about recipe books, more bosses, endgame content, and dungeons. Vetex is a solo developer and he already has plans for this year, he wants to add clans making their own islands, spirit weapons, ship battles, roaming bosses, and player professions. You clearly did not do your research and this whole video was just a rant.

AO isnt perfect by anymeans, and while i may not agree with you 100% i definetly respect your opinion, though i would like to say that to a degree the dark sea does add SOME replayability and can be more fun with friends, having other sources of replayablity would be awesome, though itd take some time to properly fit the dungeons you mentioned into the lore of the game

[@justjordan6147]

Yep but that’s how it’s going here and when I play the game it better not be a arcane adventure disaster, finally got a chance to play it on my auntys pc but i loaded in and it was broken… my heart sank you know.

please dont add that tower endgame gamemode pleaseee DONT it'll ruin the attention span of people so hard

[@SlavMartien]

​@@TeaMaker101 What are you talking about brother, a gamemode like that does nothing but add content to the game, and it can use assets already in the game making it easier for vet to release content for it. I don't understand how the attention span of players has anything to do with a roguelike tower gamemode that most major MMOs have today. It's extra content that tests players skill as well as gives people something else to grind other than the dark sea

[@TeaMaker101]

@@SlavMartien Sir please, AO is already good and the dev has plans for modes, seas, and other stuff and isnt the popularized MMO "tower gamemodes", that'll ruin the entire lore behind the game, in fact the Dark Sea is already a "tower gamemode but isnt a tower, there are slim probabilities for High-end islands which pierce through clouds. I am not sure when it'll come out but the Vicim sea will be out. Plus additional stuff like Coral Reefs, and the islands that were mentioned in the reunion of the Nimbus generals, if you've been in that part, also Keraxe soldiers and 4 new BOSSES, not mini-bosses, but ACTUAL curse-wielding bosses will be added, with stronger off-springs of the startings magic. The dev has been following this "lore-timing", the first 2 games start at the golden age of bla bla bla. i am sure you know that already. So after all that I've said, Adding a Tower endgame mode is gonna be useless. It's a pretty cool concept but revamping that and dispersing within seas, islands and etc. That'll be a great addition to the game. As that concept You sir came up with would not fit, I am sorry to say that but a 19th century Magic Universe and adding a tower endgame mode like in World Zero, or Vesteria. WOULD NOT FIT.

[@TeaMaker101]

[@TeaMaker101]

@@SlavMartien i know most people didn't pay attention to the story at all, but if you pay even the slightest at the start, mid-game (level 50-125) and at the finish (level 138-140) you'll see some really nice Easter eggs, like the Vimir sea, or addition to new ships, new ship types like the Fernir.

tower like and armory system seems bad tbh, I do kinda agree with armory system but with restrictions I mean In a real ife arcane odyssey tf you gonna randomly know where you get stuff from when you barely know bout it and tower like just feels not very arcane odyssey like and dungeons.... Just No But with the others I totally agree

[@justjordan6147]

OHHH IT COULD BE LIKE A GUILD THINGY or mail base like information gets passed around on different islands faster or slower and npc could tell you about it which you go to the place ya get it sail there finish ya business and boom report back and it saves on the system. But that’s gonna take like a year or something that stuff is after all the new stuff gets here. I am saying that the character can change the lore of their game or other depending on where they go and what they put down ya know?

Idk i feel like arcane has alot of problems and feels too linear but hey if people find ways to make a linear game fun it cant be that bad (i been playing mad long but i waited for nimbus sea and hated it)

[@SlavMartien]

Nimbus sea isnt done yet so id atleast wait until it is

[@boopygo3799]

"Lacks replayability" That line confuses me, mostly due to the hours i have poured into this game. We can all agree to disagree here, but i believe most of the fun from this game comes from community and the experimentation you can do with your builds. Secondly, the "If you're mad about my opinions" line seems to be there only to agitate others. Just because someone doesn't agree with your opinions doesn't mean that they're "settling for mediocre", or that they're "the reason this game is not as good as it can be". Opinions are personal, not fact. You should know that. Grow up

[@SlavMartien]

You had a good point until you took shots at me, so it's clear to me that you're a child. The line "don't settle for mediocre" clearly holds more words in it then you can comprehend so I'll explain it. Saying "don't settle for mediocre" is not me saying that game is bad in anyways, I expressed issues with the game that plague many roblox games, if you disagree that's fine. But the bottom line is that there's systems in the game that drags it down, and people like you who say "nuh uh, that's your opinion" is the reason the game sits at less than 2k players on average, and on downtimes having less than 1k players I'm glad that you found hours of time to put into the game, when all you've tasted is shit, garbage stops tasted as bad, and since you've proved you can't be trusted to make smart comments I feel the need to say that that's called a hyperbole, you'll learn it when you hit 6th grade. Anyways have fun doing the dark sea for the next few hundred hours

[@boopygo3799]

Du bist nicht sehr klug, oder? Instead of backing down, or better yet, not responding at all. You decided to reply. 1. You explicitly said "If you're mad about my opinions, you're the reason this game is not as good as it could be. Don't settle for mediocre". In this instance, you are, whether it be by association or not, using an opinion to state a fact. The line "Opinions are personal, not fact." was meant to be in reference to this and this alone, hence why I quoted your words beforehand. 2. I did not say or imply on purpose that you had said the game was bad in any capacity. 3. If the "Don't settle for mediocre" and "If you're mad about my opinions, you're the reason this game is not as good as it could be." lines were not supposed to be interpreted as of the same general message, my bad. 4. You have a minor spelling mistake. It's "garbage stops tasting as bad" not "garbage stops tasted as bad". I will use this opportunity to tell you to actually finish the 6th grade. 5. I could go spend a few hundred hours in the dark sea, but I'm not going to. For the ball is in your court now and I'm quite interested to see how you'll respond next. (If at all)

[@SlavMartien]

@@boopygo3799 障害を持っている？ I'll be honest, you saying " Instead of backing down, or better yet, not responding at all. You decided to reply." was the corniest shit I've seen in my life. Anyways, I gave you all the pieces of the puzzle and you still managed to mess it up. Again, when I'm saying "Don't settle for mediocre" I'm saying it for the reason that this game has issues that need fixed, and by saying "no man, there's tons of replayable content" then running the dark sea for the 100th time, you're simply giveng no incentive for the creator to innovate and add better and more engaging content. Your second point has nothing to do with what I said, I never said that YOU stated that I called the game bad, I simply stated the me saying so wasn't meant to hurt the feelings of the hardcore AO fans, it was simply me stating the this game has issues that need to be fixed. The lines "don't settle for mediocre" and "If you're mad about my opinions, you're the reason this game is not as good as it could be." lines aren't the same, but they share the same messaged. I talk specially about the content in the game, or, the lack of content. The mediocracy is the lack of replayable content from Vet, and before this turns into a reply war, LOOK AT THE NUMBERS FOR AO, please. There's a reason there's less than 2k players, it's not because the content isn't good, it's because it lacks content. congrats on correcting my spelling though, I'll be sure to read through my youtube content a few more times before clicking 返信 And again saying "I could do this, but I won't, the ball's in your court" is hella weird to say bro, this isn't an anime. I will give you props on throwing some German at me, it's something I would do to a comment I disagree with as well.

[@boopygo3799]

Ja, woher wussten Sie das? Es macht Spaß, aber es scheint, als würden wir beide die Argumente des anderen falsch verstehen. "Corniest shit I've seen in my life." I was trying, thank you. the "Ball's in your court" line was meant as a figure of speech, but my bad for assuming you'd understand that. English can be a pretty difficult language to get a grasp on

the thing about comparing making a youtube video and developing a game is just stupid. video creation is nothing compared to the slope that is game dev. unlike video creation, game dev is constantly learning new concepts and techniques instead of just refining a skill. in some sense it's like the difference between engineering and art. also, the comparison to other indie devs is dumb. most of the time these "amazing" indie games created in one year are very simple technically or disregard good practice for the sake of output.

[@SlavMartien]

Constantly learning new concepts and techniques is the same as refining a skill btw. And no, comparing a game thats been in the work for 3 years to a games that been in the works for 1 year and saying that in mant cases that 1 year game had more content is NOT dumb.

It's not that she's a hard boss, that wasn't the point. She's just in a really bad spot for a boss fight and her mechanics are very overpowered.

ok, i have a couple things, i just beat the purple spider just btw THE BADS :( 1. I noticed a few minor glitches, like in the tutorial, after doing the skill stuff, it was still guiding my mouse to click skills even though i did everything, and also, after getting my weapon, the blacksmith kept its little marker thing even though my quest was to kill the purple spider. 2. The gameplay kind of feels like an open world bandit beater, (Like World Zero kind of) the enemies I have faced up to this point all died by spamming F and M1. 3. WHY HAVE BLOCK AND PARRY ON 2 DIFFERENT KEYS???? 4. The AI, the enemies just stand there until i come up to them, when they either attack or run away. THE GOODS :) 1. I really like the combat system, I feel a block is a bit unnecessary if you have a parry, and this feels like a parry based system, and not a block based one. 2. I really like the skill and talent system too, it feels very fleshed out, and it works pretty well, syphon is fun, and I really want to get dual wielding. 3. The inventory management is exactly how I feel these types of games should be. With there being a scroll wheel type thing for consumables and the T inventory just looking clean. 4. THE CAPE I GOT WAS SO COOL WHAT Overall, its a pretty good game, with a nice art style to it. It has a few things that could definitely be improved upon, but pretty solid and something I will probably play again.

I mean man just be for real you don't like pvp in AO cause you are bad at it and whoever you try it out you lose I had the same problem i fr called ppl that did pvp noobs and all but then I started practising and got better and iam a plasma conj so no meta build or smth I am just saying to try out pvp before calling the many many people that do it losers iam just saying man don't have a meltdown on stream and stop calling people who pvp losers just admit it you don't like it cuz you cant pay to win in it and ar not good at yet AO has a major learning curve just play more and most of the ppl who play mostly in pvp don't log on for 30 min away and then play other games for 7 hours AO is out mai game and I don't think you have the right to call us losers cause you can't pay to won it and do not want to practise and i know this comment is super long iam not saying anything bad about you all I am saying is you do not have enough experience in the game to make a good judgement and just wanna pay to win and call people who beat u losers last thing u can sail from 0 insanity to 6 stop calling us losers

One slight mistake you made about the sunken warrior set. It is not the fastest attack speed set in the game, but the dark bronze armor is. For example, dark bronze helmet gives 39 aspd, while sunken warrior helmet gives 29. But yes the sunken warrior is indeed the meta. Just here to correct some mistakes, no big deal :> Also, i did noticed how you said about getting better gears for yourself, i suggest checking out the gear building site, you can make your own build there with the provided gears ranging from budget craps to meta things.
