I think that if professions work like how they do now, they’re honestly kinda dumb and pointless. What’s the point in picking one if a 300+ hour nerd can do them all just because they grinder to infinity and beyond.
Personally, I’d have a player be only able to gain EXP towards a profession dependent on their level. Meaning that a player could only gain a set amount of EXP towards any professions.
Professions taking up less than 10% of the players total EXP points put into professions will not have their EXP points counted towards the total. (So that you don’t end up crippling yourself by trying stuff)
I genuinely could not understand what you just said but I agree with the dumb/pointless part.
But professions are planned for you to go 100% in one and 50% in a second and no more meaning you can’t be all of them. Although this plan is years old so it could be less or more or unchanged
Yeah, I worded that pretty badly, let me try to rephrase it:
The player, in essence, would only be able to gain a certain amount of EXP for professions. The amount they can have in total is based on their level, so for example, a level 10 player could have up to 2,000 EXP in total in their professions, whereas a level 125 player could have 25k EXP in total for their professions.
My other idea was to have a system that would give players a bit of leeway. Basically, if you had a very small amount of EXP in a profession, it would not count towards the total EXP you had spent.
So, let’s say the player is level 10 (2k professions EXP), and they have EXP in professions A, B and C, with the EXP amount in each equal to the following:
A: 1,000 EXP
B: 900 EXP
C: 100 EXP
In this case, the player would actually still have 100 EXP to “spend”, as the points in profession C would not count. I’d probably say that if it holds less than 10% of your maximum EXP, it would not count towards the player’s total EXP spending limit.
For my next cold take, Balancecord is just a fish tank.
A fish tank full of goldfish, that is. Because they’re stupid like the denizens of there.
Legitimately only in there to see the doc updates.
The seamonsters (obulus and white eyes) are uncreative and are just bigger versions of already existing fish models.
No idea if this is meant to be in lore but dark sea monsters could look a little more mutated from huffing a bunch of magic pollution other than being really big and different colored
All the towns feel really dull and lifeless. WoM towns were so much better in almost every aspect; especially building interiors. There are so many empty, unused buildings in every town which somehow make the town feel MORE lifeless.
time for me to unleash absolute hell, a lot of these will prob already be said but whatever
Vitality Hybrids are still really solid classes atm, they allow for more diversity in stats and are better in PvE.
The Youtube AO scene is hot garbage.
Jewelcrafting was really not needed at all. Just feels like another skill that you need to increase, and an annoying one to increase at that (why would you delete all gems before the update like wth)
Shark spawn rates are a mess. First there were very little sharks, then on the underwater update there was an abundance of them, then after some patches there were like 2 sharks in every server, which practically fucked over people trying to get the shark egg. Now the spawn rates are somewhat increased but I feel I see Lurkers more than normal sharks because WHIRLPOOLS ARE EVERYWHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN
Where is the 5th chest on the Myriad, there’s one close to the entrance, one on a further out island, and 2 behind the main building, but I can’t find the 5th.
FUCK. RKERS. HOW MANY TIMES DO I GOTTA GET ATTACKED RANDOMLY? Does Vetex seriously not care about casuals when adding bounty hunting, renown, infamy, and probably other stuff in the future that promotes PvP. The only reason I can forgive RKers is when I get to slap em with a love gel and then dash half way across Ravenna with my +150 agility, then proceed to say L in messages and leave the game (because that’s exactly what they deserve).
As someone who mains Fire and Ash, why do we get to do nothing in water. Fire was expected but Ash??? Atleast like half the damage not nullify it completely.
idek what the balancing team is doing, or whoever is making these changes

I wish we could spend a bit more time with the characters in the story. The player vanishes for 1 month and suddenly all the characters gain… personalities??? According to Neviro’s journal, Iris seemed to have anger issues? This was while Iris was talking to the Player at Cirrus may I remind you… doesn’t seem that angry during then to me.
man why did yall vote for player marker to be added back fun aint allowed in this place
if the above is allowed then why cant we see the location of party members?
since I’m on a streak of map issues? Why were pins/placed markers removed either? I guess you could argue they ruined the immersion of travelling too but, just put placed markers behind a rare item you can only find via sunken chests. Tada, an actual reason to go to underwater diving spots.
Since this has practically become a ranting post let me just point out that tierlist and anything related to the meta is utter horse crap, please for the love of god CHOOSE ANYTHING THAT ISN’T BASED ON SOMEONE ELSE’S CHOICE PLEASE. STOP ASKING PEOPLE IF YOU “should put more into this stat” OR “use this weapon into this” JUST CHOOSE SOMETHING YOURSELF AND TRY IT OUT AND IF IT ISN’T YOUR STYLE THEN DO SMTHN ELSE ANYTHING THAT ISNT FOLLOWING THE META OR WATCHING THE MOST RECENT TIERLIST VIDEO HOSIGRHJTGERUOGHER8OGHREHJER90HJWER90E9ATJQEPAWDGNJIOPRJGHIOERJGHIPERJHIOWRJIGTOPQWEJOGOWEIJGIEWJGFIRGJ i hate this community
I find people’s suggestions on what to use can be useful, as you don’t waste too much time dealing with the bullshit rng finding a specific weapon after hours of searching just to find out you hate it really bad. But yeah, it does suck that so many people would rather hide behind a meta build than put in the time to make something sub-optimal play well.
early game is bogged down by not having enough abilities yet (warriors stop unlocking skills at level 25 (boss/rare weapons dont count fight me)) and pure magic/strength builds gain a skill every 15 levels
