in my opinion, full release should just come out. im not saying this because im impatient but because i really think it is just done. features like player fleets and enemy towers seem like stuff that should just come in a later update since half the stuff vetex had added in full release so far just seems a little forgetable to me
as impatient as i am there’s probably things to fix still, it’s always the little details. i’d rather wait like 55 years and get the most polished product ever than have it release tomorrow and get 5 different shutdowns for fixing
I don’t know what we’d be missing out on, or how it’d affect things to split the update in two, so I say take however much time is needed. If I get bored with AO until then, I got other games to play, and I’ll be back for the update.
i really think you are just impatient though
you need to think about a few more things;
much more is still promised. releasing now with just one story chapter? really? and to be fair, not a lot of new features…
not all features are added yet. this would take away from significantly shorter development and update time after full release to add these features that wouldnt have been added yet
game is still kinda buggy to be fair. lots of both old and new bugs have cropped up which would leave a really bad taste in new, old, and returning players mouths.
i would like it that vetex delays the update as LONG as he needs until full release is perfect. i dont like how he gave people a release date because i dont want him to be pressured to release an unfinished product or a product he is unsatisfied with
I mean as of now full release is 100% the biggest update thus far but there are still a bunch of features yet to be added things like legendary ships, non-story bosses, abilities etc as well as features not put onto the trello but put into the game nonetheless like Athena’s wisdom recently.
We don’t know how much content vetex wants to add but i am sure there are more to come that aren’t on the trello list.
i’m not going to judge any of you if this game is all you’ve got going on for you right now but i implore you to build interest in other things if you really have nothing else to do in the meantime.
if you feel this game has nothing left for you until the next update, do something else.
The only new side boss so far is Hallbjorn, and we’ve only gotten one story chapter. Not to mention there’s still not enough islands to warrant Nimbus Sea Explorer being obtainable. It would be way too easy! And disabling Nimbus Sea Explorer and Conqueror for an entire update—even though they’re still being listed among the game’s badges—is just… awkward.
OH YEAH, the Champion badges in both seas don’t have enough content to justify them being obtainable at this stage either, due to the aforementioned lack of side bosses. Yeah there’s no way it could work for this month. Not even a chance. Even if you somehow made all the bosses and islands in time, what about the bugs???
yeah the bugs are pretty unbearable in tu right now, releasing it now would be a terrible choice. at at least there will be a bug list sweep at some point
you guys need to be grateful that vetex is closing in on ONE YEAR without a major update, he has significantly more manpower to work on content compared to when WOM was being revamped. It’s not like AO is the only game members of the community plays.
