Dragon Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread)

It’s the dragon update cause it’s a small update adding dragons not a large update adding their whole sea. Vetex has not once implied the sea he was clear this is an update focused on adding dragons to the dark sea. Nothing else

how is it necessarily a big update just because it adds any amount of an area?
we’re getting stormgale ruins i think, does that make it big?

It could be named after literally any addition, it doesn’t have to be the one with the biggest expectations if those expectations are not happening.

You are comparing a whole ass sea vs the ruins of a single kingdom

the Nimbus Sea released with, like, five total islands, four of which were far from substantial, and none of them even need towns on them for the dragon thing.

The expectations are clear. Dragons. In the dark sea. He set the bar pretty solidly again if you read his post he even says that

I know what it’s probably gonna be, especially now that you told me why already. I’m just not half happy about it.
i like exploring, i have no interest in another buggy animal that won’t get half as much maintenance or design quality as it should.

Half quality? Half design? You mean the things that were worked on during FR and the reason they didn’t make it cause vetex didn’t want them half assed? The thing he’s now dedicating an update for?

Do you just wanna be upset? Cause if you do I’ll shut up cause clearly there’s no point

sounds like they are just reaching for an excuse to be mad and took out their brain to make it easier to let the anger out

very sad news, viewer discretion advised

partcline is retired now ig :wilted_flower: :pensive_face:

Stock, with how much you’re moaning and groaning about not getting a whole new sea cluster right after the biggest and buggiest update in the game, I’m surprised you weren’t infuriated that the Full Release update didn’t come with a highly detailed video of Vetex fully releasing the contents of his bowels and stomach into his toilet bowl

I mean I don’t even want it that much, it’s just that there was kind of a picture painted that the dragon cluster is a big upcoming thing, and this is the dragon update, so how would we not get it?
And now that I know we’re probably not getting it, I’m a little upset, because monster combat in AO is notoriously unfun, and that means no dragon cluster islands to look at. it’s just kind of not something I care for at all now.

Also, if you’re genuinely expecting dragons to be fun to fight, you have your expectations waaaay higher than I do, asking for fun islands in the fun island game.

Literally, Sirens are the only creature that aren’t balanced around you cheesing them.
White Eyes do nothing, Krakens are way too strong unless you just exit their range, and animals can clobber you unless you simply go above them.

can’t wait for dragons to be flying mini/bosses that are unbearable to fight unless you’re a mage/have magic/have 200 range and the skills to reach them in the sky

but they’ll touch down on land for like 5 seconds every minute so it’ll be balanced for strength builds promise

mf thinking we getting a whole new sea cluster before nimbus is even over :sob::sob::sob:

it don’t gotta be big.

I’ve said my opinion before but dragons are going to suck if you’re pure melee so berserkers. Flying giant beasts that rain hell. Though unlike sirens they’re going to be giant so assuming you have some range they’ll like be fine

apparently there will be small ones though.
