I kinda have given up on wanting anything better. I’ve already accepted that I’ll never experience the game at a decent frame rate. I just try to be grateful that I can at least play the game in some capacity without my computer exploding.
Coldest take in the world. Everyone lnows this to be true.
Hybrid content shouldn’t be added unless there is content for every hybrid build.
We saw how the formula for hybrid weapons changed multiple times to compensate warlords using skills that were intended to only be accessible to warriors, and the absolute mess that would be savantlord. On top that, arcanium weapons are more useful to mages than they are for conjurers while offering nothing significant that’s exclusive to conjurers. They’re like strength weapons but instead of having something unique like getting their own weapon type, they have 2 slots that are available to mages and the last 3 slots are weapon skills. If this was a halfway point to future conjurer/savant exclusive content, it would be fine, but it really looks like that’ll be it for conjurers. Lastly(for arcanium), being unable to customize the spells on arcanium weapons is an honest annoyance, especially since the spells are rng based. You also can’t change which slot the spells take, they’re always going to be the first and second slot. I honestly feel like the reason why spells on arcanium suck is because they either didn’t want to or didn’t have the time to turn spells into something that can be put on weapons. For spirit hybrids, they’re going to be left high and dry until around level 300 (from what I’ve heard). So currently warlords (and conjurers partially) have a leg up on other hybrids. If it was up to me, there would be something similar to arcanium weapons (as they are now) for other hybrids, but for now the scales are tipped.
Tldr: arcanium is kinda wonky and not truly conjurer/savant exclusive, how hybrid weapons are being managed changes a lot, spirit hybrids are going to starve, it might be better if all hybrids got content around the same time
other than that, uhhh, claws should be a cestus, they basically have an entire skill pool that’s exclusive and only shares spiraling fury with daggers and rapiers
- the only good thing to come out of the pvp toggle was guilds (absolutely amazing feature i love guilds)
- this site has too many users that are narrow-minded about other sides of the community and that’s why such a large amount of people i interact with outside of here dislike this site (mainly regarding negative outlook on clans, pvp, etc)
- you can’t enjoy arcane odyssey to it’s fullest whilst max level without being integrated within pve and pvp simultaneously
and for my last take
-
since the early access release of this game, i’m yet to see any leaderboard guild/clan leader be more methodical, organised and well structured than me
The lore is just Greek + little of the others fanfiction
your point being?
It’s shit for that mostly
deepwoken is shit mate
Derailing I’m talking about ao lore (more accurately the Greek fanfic parts are shit everything else is fine or mid
Arcanium Weapons as they are right now are mid, but I really don’t see how they can be at their peak when used by Conjurers at all, even taking into account their planned rework and the original ideas for them. Weapon Casting in particular would 100% make them leagues better on Mages because they could get one step short of directly customizing their Magic’s stats.
hot take: we’re gonna see shura later
The communities biggest hope
My hot take: slash magic will be the best magic ever. Stronger than even the Grand Fire Curses as just a magic. try me
no regulus will!
high attack speed investment slash will be the best magic
(it does severe bleeding, so very high amount multi hit moves are going to be insanely strong)
Vetex is overblamed by the community as this omnipresent boogeyman that does nothing but cause you woes and everyone thinks that every single something bad happens to them in AO they just blame Vetex because it’s easier instead of actually recognizing what the real problem is.
plasma magic’s casting sound sucks
I wish it was much more like rumbling and violent instead of just dbz sounds
(also if you’ve never tried it yet, plasma imbued astrapikis sounds so good)
Less game related;
AO (serverhas favoritism. Lots. You can get away with breaking rules countless times if you’re well liked and have mods on your side (aka posters before it even got added). You could be the most average person and slip up one time that the wrath of the gods will fall upon you, doesn’t matter what.
Watched it go happen in real time, too
Edit: Also, I think earth magic is overrated and the sound of plasma is awful.
Dragons at insanity 4 are extremely fun to fight
What even makes you go insane in the dark sea
It’s literally just a regular day in Florida why can’t everyone just lock in
