Arcane Annoyances

Is there some small bug or feature, that doesn’t warrant a bug report or suggestion, but still drives you up the wall? What are your Arcane Odyssey pet peeves?

Perhaps this topic could provide a way to bring those tiny things to attention, or it’ll just become another shit-throwing contest. If a particular annoyance posted here ends up getting fixed, please indicate that if possible, to avoid confusion or unnecessary complaining.

Certain armor pieces just straight up delete your limbs, which annoys me quite a bit.

I feel like the problem when it comes to travel is that the empty space in between islands is meant to be filled with diving spots and other activities, but diving spots don’t really yield anything unique and ships are somewhat sparse throughout the sea leaving most parts of the sea large and barren which is a combo for something to be boring and time consuming

I agree that treasure hunting can be unbearably dull but I think fast travel would only bring more issues to the game.

What exactly are the limits? Because fast-travel wouldn’t only affect treasure hunts but things like bounty hunting and PVP too. It would feel like too easy of a shortcut, as in completely removing the legwork instead to making it faster.

How would it even be balanced? Because something like cooldown period would kind of go against what players would want it to do- to make the grind less grindy.

I really dislike how the dual wielding animations / weapon holding is really janky. Rigging/Animation is difficult and whoever did it did a nice job but I really hate how you end up holding a collosal greatsword like it’s a torch. Bows, spears, and staffs are weird too. Basically anything long.

You guys should probably report annoying bugs in Bug Reports (limb deleting armors have been reported, can’t replicate anything about blood stains on veridian huntress attire)

I think it stopped happening after the server shut down, I noticed it in that server and never again

Probably shouldn’t have added that part until I knew for a fact it was an issue that was replicable reliably, my bad :fr:

WHAT!?!

One actual annoyance for me (that isn’t a bug) is randomly generated NPCs having access to names that players do not. One of those names is my given name, the lack of which has been a major annoyance since I first joined World of Magic.

I understand not wanting to come up with more, since there are thousands of names with millions of combinations, but you already did come up with the name list available to random sailor NPCs.

The fact that shoveling up treasure charts need you to pick a different spot even tho the previous place’s chest has clearly visually despawned

You need to wait ~0.5 seconds after it disappears and then can dig it up again

Those idiotic Dark sea Pelion rift things.
They are so, so annoying.

i got spawn killed by a tornado once so theres that

Clan building auto setting to your funds instead of the clan bank

The latency being awful despite the server being Germany [DE] (I live in Denmark.).

Having to jump to stop commanding your ship. Not a big deal but gives me a jumpzcare in the dark sea when i’m trying to use soap

Clan building immediately spending your money when you place structures, but forcing you to manually save

Like, either auto-save each change or only spend money upon saving, not that difficult!

losing your charts when you disconnect

and any effects (recovery, luck, etc) being lost with disconnection

these are less minor and more major problems and i SURE HOPE VETEX DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THEM

why he hasnt added any chart saving feature is beyond me

Dual wielding being often nonsensical or just not looking great

Like having anything bigger in the second hand makes it instantly look off, or for some reason exclusively two handed weapons being possible to “dual wield” with? Like how are you dual wielding a colossal greatsword with a heavy greatbow? There is also how weapons are just not aligned properly in the secondary hand

It can be cool yes, because without it I couldn’t do shit like this


(for context that is me using lightning imbued astrapikis with an eagle imbued skyhall rapier in the off-hand)

But I do think that it should be limited on what can be dualwielded and what cannot

Then there is also the thing with the muscles gamepass, while again you CAN make it work… it has two main issues, first is the fact that it just.. doesn’t look that great… like your hands are practically non existent, they’re literally just little stubs, and then there is the thing with the majority of pauldrons just not working with the muscles gamepass..

I think that the rig for the muscle arms should be reworked

YES!
Someone who understands the ugliness of dual wielding.
