Adding WOM bosses as dark sea bosses

i propose adding the old World Of Magic bosses as some mysterious name like:
“the forgotten knight” and “the forgotten berserker” .
and make them have the original stats from World of magic
after they are defeated there is 1/5 chance for the to drop their gear from arcane oddysey same moves etc;

I though this would be a valid question as there is arleady equipment for them in arcane oddysey

it might take a while and i am not really sure if this is a good enough thing to be really added to the game

How would this fit in the lore? WoM takes place in the location of the previously ruined Seven Seas, thousands of years after AA.

And for a game heavily driven by its story and lore, this would feel out of place and serves as nothing but some fan service for older players

Adding WoM bosses into AO isn’t necessarily something that I’d want to see. Personally, I’d rather see aspects of other characters that we actually know have traveled around. Specifically I’m talking about mirages of some AA characters, more precisely Theos and Freedrock. Something that can give us some more insight into them as characters, especially Theos as it would be a callback to him and AA alongside giving us more knowledge about how our favorite War Phoenix was like in the past (and how strong they were).

Lore wise it could honestly just be the dark seas grabbing some fragment of them as a memory or them leaving a lasting presence in the dark seas as these powerful individuals made their way around the world. Although this would mean there would have to also be mirages of Keraxe fleets and their leaders as they (from what I remember) travel around the dark seas.
(These mirages could be lesser variants of the true Keraxe fleet)

Just food for thought and me entertaining the idea of this.

so will the dark sea cause insanity at all or is the insanity 5 SOLELY for the purpose of “hey get outta here its out of bounds”

insanity

Just for now since Dark Seas haven’t technically been added yet (just the general area in game). There is no content out there so the insanity 5 is mainly just an out of bounds thing.

it’ll cause insanity, just not starting at level 5

Would it make sense to hallucinate entities thousands of years into the future?

Can’t forget that level 4 insanity also kills unless you have a full set of warding.

yea

because depending on the answer, insanity/magical influence COULD cause the traveler to peer into things they’ve never experienced (remember that suggestion about a mirage thing of THEOS in the dark sea? that’d be fucking awesome, i don’t care how little sense it makes, i want to hit theos with a magma pulsar sand drill), which would enable you to fight exiled/minotaur/literally anybody in the arcane universe, including yourself. why? because it’s MAGIC, we are UNBOUND by common sense

Hallucinations don’t have to necessarily be real or indicative of something else. I’m pretty sure most people can imagine a knight or a diluted vastus (in AO).

But the problem is that the player doesn’t have any idea about these bosses, which are no longer part of the lore also

Dark Sea could be explained away as a part of the ocean consumed by Chaos (the thing that makes up the universe) which is why we become more and more insane the further we go into it. It’d also explain multiple properties of the dark seas (how it moves for example), but this would only work if Chaos isn’t retconned (assuming it existed and isn’t just something I read online).

you ever have a dream that kind of predicts the future for no reason whatsoever?
imagine that but instead of the next day it’s the next thousand years and it’s because of magic

because i have never played arcane adventures i may not understand those characters fully but the thing you just said was my idea it is exactly the thing i meant i agree with you but now i see this gear from WOM is kinda useless i don’t know if we will be even able to use it at the end of nimbus sea storyline and it just sits there with no use i don’t think a lot of people will keep some outdated gear in their inventory for more than 5 or 7 months . They will just sell it so i thought about making a new way of getting the remaining parts of it, looking at the fact that vetex plans to add some set bonuses (or something like that) for certain gear parts so you know.i thought it would be a good idea

you can think of a knight

Ever had a dream where you’re being attacked by a cabbage monster on September 12, 1999 at 3:30 AM in South Virginia? Yeah not everything needs to make sense for dreams, let alone hallucinations brought about by insanity.
