Even I WAS frustrated after the update delay. Delays happen but from a game dev habits are hard to break. Who knows if empires will be scrapped too until later since its too much of a workload for vetex? We also just had a list of concepts and ideas plastered onto the trello which IN THEORY are amazing but logistically may not bode well (dragons are a great example). Also from a content creator perspective, 100% agree. I even had to put a poll out whether or not viewers are even interested in ao stuff as it is. For the past year it just seems like an endless cycle of "big update but big problems", and we cant do anything about the problems until 4 months later when the next update happens. Good example is, players love to complain in the balancecord about problems in game and want to future proof the game. The problem is, its IMPOSSIBLE to suggest good changes or FUTURE PROOF when the next major update is a long ways away. One more thing, i talked about balance a lot because as much as people like to deny it, once you complete all the checkboxes in ao (aka bronze sea explorer), you have no choice but to pvp or don't play the game again until the next update. And it seems like horrible player experience when minding your own business and out of no where some full power metal user one shots and out clashes you?? Yeah, so far if we get empires in early July we're good. Any later, we might be cooked. Consistent and frequent updates *even if its just for improving performance optimization* would be a LIFE SAVER for AO. And it doesn't even have to be every month, it could update per week or 2.

[@StarJ3M]

@@puremichigan4380 no new classes were really added, as they were already in the game, and from my knowledge, very little was changed considering those new classes got one new ability (which was basically magic blast, but spirit), and an imbue which I believe took a bit of your health everytime you used whatever weapon/magic, which is basically just vatrachos armor but spirit Although, it most likely did help with the player count

i agree with you on how not noob friendly it is, if this game was made on like unreal engine and their graphics. WIth the storyline and exploration aspects it would be even more amazing and probably have a way higher player count, as the audience its shown to wont be a bunch of kids on an ipad.

[@StarJ3M]

could you expand off of noob unfriendly, because if you not being able to adjust to the fact that you can't set spawn locations is the only reason why, then using very isn't really helping your case could you also clarify the connection between side quests not being repeatable and getting "drops" from "quest bosses" and what you even mean by that because this is so confusing 😭 I do wish vetex focused a bit more on the PVP aspect of the game though, helps with replayability when you've done a lot of exploration. also are these your reasons for it "lacking in common sense"?

and what about the poll of spirit weapon vs weapon customization? vetex only does what he wants

[@GroutMobile]

Vetex with that poll straight up lied about multiple things. He said he’d add multiple spirit weapons but added one with one skill. There was no pool for that he just didn’t add any spirit weapons to the game which really sucked

[@bboi1489]

I mean... Vetex did say he doesn't care about player count 🙁

[@andero2486]

Vetex is a better idea man than a developer. As a fellow Lua/Luau programmer, I can say for sure that the lag in the game is easily avoidable, and that the ways Vetex caches data and manipulates physics bodies is downright awful. He also very clearly does not care to balance the game himself, and instead gives it up to a team of people who (quite frankly) seem to only know how to give too much or too little to everything. There are other things, but in general his solutions to problems suck. However, his ideas are good. I wouldn't personally say a primarily sea-based game is what I was looking forward to when I was in WoM, but it has a promising start. Unfortunately, it will not be moving quickly.

[@xXPIEATERXx]

I think balancing is mainly what’s causing the update slow. Rather focusing on what people yap about like nerfing size nerfing attack speed why not leave them untouched and just focus on what the game really lacks & needs. Then come back to balancing certain classes. The game will be great if it’s finish and actually discuss either to nerf or buff certain class and weapons.

[@u1in695]

So ur saying leave a big section of the game untouched because it slows down updates even though it is literally the only repeatable content we have

[@xXPIEATERXx]

@@u1in695 why do small update when he can just focus all content we need. Time moving so fast when the story progression is too fast to finish. Edit: Nah he will not leave a big section to the game. What he must do he focus on all the lost magics and style feature. Then more npc and island and storyline

[@u1in695]

@@u1in695 ahh i misunderstand you. i guess you are right about not meeting some aspect of his "desired" feature. but he did complete warrior editing skills but the most dissapointing one is the warden and spirit weapons.

@@xXPIEATERXx I wish vetex didn't even focus on the weapon skill notes and started working on that for a later update, really cool that we have it now but, I'd honestly prefer we didn't get one spirit weapon with one ability which isn't even anything new, literally just a magic blast skill but spirit.

Last update was honestly a joke. Biggest feature we got was changing the skills on weapons. Vitality progression literally missed out on the pure vitality class, oracle. Spirit weapons are practicalky a lie. We got a single one, and it had just the basic measly skill. The story was also pretty lame. It's more sailing than anything, except for the little viking fighting at Mistral.

[@sieg3701]

I will say vetex has been taking more risky changes which i like as these changes could be beneficial in the long run (i.e. luck changes and upcoming dragon raid) so vetex is definitely taking ao development in a more realistic sense, which i can appreciate Im a pvp player but its mostly cause there isnt any pve content in endgame besides dark sea, and a bunch of my friends are the same Things look grim right now but i hope it can get better

The game is fundamentally poorly designed, that's why it died after release and was such a big disappointment for so many. The quest design is tedious. The story might be quite good for Roblox standards, but still nowhere near good enough to actually hold your attention. The game also has really bad lag and feels poorly optimized, even for high-end PCs. Lastly, and most importantly, the combat just isn't that good. You might personally like it, but the overwhelming majority of people don't. And that alone will make people not play the game. Combat is the heart and soul of a game, if it the combat isn't good, nothing else matters. Arcane Odyssey can have all the cool side features it wants, with kingdom alignments, ships and the dark sea and so on, but if the combat is not good, people won't care all that much. And this is coming from someone who played Arcane Adventures way back in the day, when I was a little kid. The combat was great for back then, and sure, they've polished it somewhat, but it's still the same combat system at it's core. This is why the game has maybe 3% of the players it had on launch. Losing players after launch is normal for every game, but not to that extent. Maintaining 30% of your launch playerbase would be good, not 3%. The player numbers spike up a bit every time there is a new update, but even then it quickly flatlines again, because once people get over the shock and awe of the new content, they get tired quickly from the poor fundamentals. Arcane Odyssey is like a crappy, worn down, second generation Honda Civic that has a shiny paintjob, flashy new tires and a big spoiler. Once you get over the style, you'll realize there isn't much substance. Sorry for the long vent, but like I said I've been playing Vetex games since like 2015. I'm passionate about them and want to see them succeed, not just trying to be an asshole.
