Rant about skinner boxes and luck based skinner boxes that are worse.
I detest sunken items. Modifiers are fine, they provide use to otherwise obsolete armour (though I despise their obtainment method), but sunkens?
They render any armour with similar statistics obsolete. The Dark Bronze and Cernyx sets? Obsolete, Sunken Warrior exists. Attack size + Defense armour? Doesn’t exist because Sunken Iron does and is deemed to be ‘common’.
I hate how the strongest items are locked behind extreme RNGs (you have more chances of getting a shiny pokémon) which itself is found solely within the most boring activities of the game: fishing (brain death) and diving (euthanasia).
But do you know what I hate more than sunkens? The future of Arcane Odyssey.
What will become of past armours when there will be objectively more powerful versions of them? There’s so few stats, yet so many future boss drops, lost treasures, sunken loot, and chest items. Some are bound to repeat themselves, so what will be different with them? Their level range, that’s it (despite it not being lore accurate).
In the future that I predict, you will either have to repeatedly farm boss drops from different stages of the game in order to have a chance, or early boss drops will become wholly obsolete. Inventory clutter? It’ll be much worse than it is now, and it’s already terrible.
Sorry for the doom-posting, ranting, and uncessant negativity. I can’t help but think that this will be how Arcane Odyssey turns out, and I hate it.
