Empires Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread)

Exactly

Tell me again how everyone here is wrong but you

Why is it so impossible for you to allow for opinions to exist?

Cuz I like to argue online

Also you are far too up your own ass with theories for your own good, the fact 4 people refuted your aether charging theory and you still think it’s “heavily evidenced” makes it hard to tell if you are serious or not when you post shit like this

THERE IS A CHARACTER USING AETHER WHO DOES SHIT THAT CAN ONLY BE EXPLAINED BY MY EXPLANATION.

I’m not even saying it’s definitely true, I’m just saying it’s highly evidenced anyway! Your opinions on my theory are being validated, and you still can’t shut up about it. You just don’t want me to believe it for no reason.

I’m not gonna say it

Aether charging theory? I haven’t heard of that. As an Aether fan I’m curious

Be warned, it’s literally just a boss gimmick stock ran with

Well, the idea is simple. Aether’s not just natually good with a long windup, but it’s instead fairly below average when uncharged, but powerful when charged.

This is explained by imbued Aether in Triasta of Bronze having 0.9x damage, 1.1x speed, and 1.1x size. Additionally, some of Calvus’ weaker attacks aren’t charged, and his massive iconic pillar explosion of death can be launched without being charged if you hit him first, for much less damage.

soooo your theory is literally just that it has a higher power curve on charging? Which is at the moment completely unprovable since it exists only on a boss atm?

Yep. Hence theory of course.

Didja miss this part

Correct!

Didja miss the part where it IS unprovable, and that’s why i’ve been calling it a theory?

Theory implies there’s some form of real evidence that can’t be explained otherwise.

Occam’s razor dumbass

I can see it, that’d be kinda cool but I think it would be an underpowered gimmick compared to other lost magics, since charging is so unviable right now. Maybe if Aether has both charred for synergies and the charging gimmick, that might be enough for it to be good.

It’s actually completely provable, as vetex has fully coded aether and can use it in game

A patron can literally ping him and just ask, hell, one is here right now

Well, it does. It’s like how Snowy isn’t the gimmick of Snow.

It sure doesn’t seem underpowered when you’re fighting Calvus, sooooo…

I think we’ve been over this, and somebody said he’d say no.

Calvus has Uber-pumped up boss health, he can tank the hits you land while charging

The average player couldn’t, even if this was true the bteam would whack it out of existence 10 seconds after its player accessible

Okay, your argument is just that “But they’d make it poorly!” right now.
