AO hot takes (new)

ABSOLUTELY AGREE
cs

but people also give way more nutritional value than anything else youll find in the nimbus wilds

the average baby is like 5,724 calories

Babies are an effective source of nutr- gets shot by cia for good reason

I say we make everyone from the sky a cannibal

so clearly the fact that my hot take has spawned 30+ replies of discourse means I win the thread

which one

This made me understand really well why I was so put off reading the dialogue, thanks for that

another one, i think a good hot take is that the player needs a powerscaling increase by the end of nimbus. in relation to other characters in the story, the player simply cant overcome the barrier of curse tiers or hightier losts. we did beat calvus which is a heavy feat, alanon too, but even with being the strongest legacy w/ awakenings i doubt we will be at any meaningful tier at end of nimbus

aka my issue is that the whole “OH MY GOSH LOOK THEY HAVE A LOST.. and we just beat them in 5 seconds.” kinda defeats the purpose of the character having to grow to overcome hurdles lmao
now i know its game design, dont make a boss thats impossible, and players can still cheese bosses, but at the very least dont buff bosses, buff players

I like the combat but I’d like to know what you think needs to be reworked about it, if anything I think PVE combat is like the worse part of the game by far. It’s just moving targets if the boss isn’t really cool.
That might be a me thing though because ship combat doesn’t call to me I guess.

Taking insanity downsides for bonus stats seems like a cool thing till you realize now everyone is playing with a bunch of VFX on their screen to match the other person’s stats and now its just a nuisance to everyone who wants to play the game with actual pleasing visual experience.

fs have been like disproportionately easier to use than magic or weapons ur legit just bad at the game

I think the story is actually alright, after replaying AO I think the reason most ppl hate on it is because they come back to it after 12 years of A. grinding or B. not playing the game so it doesnt make sense to them or C. they just skip dialogue because of tiktok brain

Ofc AO story isnt GOTY level but its probably like top 3 on roblox

I personally would have preferred having the seven original AA magics in exchange for all of them being genuinely interesting instead of having the literal stat adjustments we have today.

In fact, I made such an idea (even if I’m taking a while to complete it):

Hot take, Max level AO feels like Max level Blox fruit.

Once you get to max level (in both games) you basically just grind a ton to keep up with meta / get stronger, unlock some quality of life features and then fight other players. Option B is just more grinding with a greater goal in mind (Ex. Starting anew, 100%-ing, Accumulating wealth, Collecting etc.)

I love it though
Its an addiction.

HOLY SHIT, THIS GUY IS RIGHT!!!

Ngl I hate the fact that this is a somewhat accurate comparison.
