add him as a raid boss u must parry and my life is urs testers/vetex
my guess as to whats in the next patchnote probably story then the whole list of new spells if the skull person gets moved to qol and bugs and ofcourse qol and bugs in the patch
This is all I could find, but it says “shorter” rather than “short,” which is a huge difference. A short chapter would be like 5 or 7, but if it’s only shorter relative to ch8 (which was a whole 47 parts) then the chapter could still be pretty average or above average length.
I sure hope this isn’t what I’ve been going off of this whole time, because that would be quite embarrassing 
praying 4 dat
story updates.. plz 
Really hope update is release by december
I think it’ll be early 2027
The good thing about the story taking so long is that the rest of the dev team that doesn’t work on it can keep on stacking more and more content into the update
I wonder how many moves and islands we’ll have by the time it releases? If the story gets really delayed, could they even start adding features planned for later updates like Magius or the Frigate?
It was never a short chapter, it was always planned to be mid length according to Vetex, so 20-25 parts give or take
Got it! Thank you!
Another thing I’ll add is I asked Vetex a few days ago and he said after this cutscene for part 11 of chapter 10, we’ll have 3 short combat parts and then we fight the 1st story boss after a short cutscene
For context, I asked if after this big cutscene if the 1st boss is next
iirc one of the story bosses is planned to be an oracle, so maybe we’ll get yet another new relic? this is just a theory but i think that keraxe probably took captain khalida’s relic after killing her and now said story boss is using it
I’ve had the same theory too so possibly, its already been leaked for close to a year now but the 2nd boss of chapter 10 is a curse user while the first is a oracle
me personally i dont think we deserve an update and each of us should donate 5% of our processing power to ao’s dev team so they can mine crypto and make a profit
lets fucking hope that these bosses have big arenas, unlike ivar
Hallowed Grove would have to be huge, since there’s two bosses on the island
If the bosses are difficult, no shame in using meals and potions btw. Ironskin and Recovery 5 should make any fight a cakewalk
ive seen hallowed grove, its plenty big
Assuming we spend those first 9 parts of the chapter all at Sameria and not some other island, I wonder if this is when the Sun Temple comes into play…?
what we thinking of the new future fighting style plans
i think it could be really cool if executed well, but probably also really hard to balance
Definitely gonna be a nightmade to balance it out but definitely the more fun options which will make FS users stand out and I like that they’re going with the more creative option especially considering what one of the fun thing about AO is the many possibilities and options when it comes to making build it also makes it so fs aren’t doing the same thing as magics so that give more identity
