finished the video hopefully this gets to him or atleast to someone close to him
Like this overall, but there is one thing i wouldnât quite enjoy (though i already prefer pve)
The stun mechanic, as youâve said in the vid, it is to combat people spam blocking/parrying with the max block builds, thing is though. The meter fills up with all attacks whether or not you are blocking while the meter actually slows down when you do block, even though the solution was made specifically with the issue being the block builds
(Iâm among the ppl that almost never block and prefer to just try dodging instead cause the block mechanic is just not very responsive. Honestly blocking sucks if you donât specialize into it)
essentially: added to punish block build but applies when getting hit at all while blocking only receives 50% of what was added to punish their max block builds (and frankly i just forget/pretend blocking doesnât exist till i fight Ivar)
Some other games have a similar stagger meter only occur when blocking/parrying (even though Arcane odyssey isnât the same type of game that is actually designed specifically with those mechanics in mind, other games that have blocking & parrying have larger-full damage negation typically have a meter that will punish when you only block, making you think abt whether or not you have enough meter left for the next enemy attack or if you should try to avoid the next few moves while the meter drains)
i dont have anything else to do
well, i do, but i mean⌠doing the same story for the third time⌠maxing out fleet two more times⌠beating jarl two more times⌠ion wannaâŚ
the dragons update was kinda underwhelming, or maybe it isnt, I just fought a dragon in layer 1 and got the darkness maxed. expected level 5, but it was only level 4. eh. I logged shortly after cuz no lvl 180
I want new ships
i want new ships
i am the ship man
i want the level 180 ship vetex clock is ticking
imo blocking in ao feels so sluggish and unrewarding
like you gotta spam it to actually parry and even then its 90% dmg reduction which isnt enough sometimes
take deepwoken for example - even if some moves arent telegraphed well they can be parried and its fun to parry a mob you couldnt before, but ao parrying feels like you gotta parry 50 eras before the attack actually lands.
well sucks
youâre not getting it at 180.
apparently it was never meant to be.
My reasoning is compiled in this message.
well i guess im qutting ao
cuz no new ship = no new hype aura moments = no point to play the game cuz its a bandit beater blox fruits
ofc you would say that
okay but objectively i only play arcane odyssey for the boats
if only deepwoken stole AOâs boat system⌠@Đ°gĐ°matsu takes notes agamatsu
Feature bloat. I donât care what it takes to make the game update, I just donât want the update to make the game worse by adding way too much unfun side content.
âThere I am gary, there I am!â
hey so methinks the whole idea of letting a foreign group decide what gets nerfed or buffed, with a biased lean towards nerfing things, is not a stable game design decision.
sorry, really sorry to say âif you know me ive said it beforeâ since im not as popular here as other spheres, but i genuinely HATE how balancing works. in one update you are a simple conjurer, and simple conjurers have simple fun. but omega HEIL KITTY LITTER of a balance team decides to irreversibly change weapon scaling to unusable slop and fully stopping that momentum your build used to have. not a real example, but it is taken from outrageous some changes to combat bteam has made.
if the build wasnt meant to work in a certain way, explain it and adress it. when i see â-70% Speed Scaling to [insert-anything-here]â with NO EXPLANATION MIND YOU, it leads to a worse experience trying to understand what bteam is trying to do. also they are just known for being incredibly biased at points so if you ely with them a couple times, just expect to be nerfed next update.
until i see bteam being dissolved and officially hosted community discussions held after the two weeks an update has been out for as replacements (or any other cool suggestions the forums have made for balance), i really dont see myself investing the time to experiment and have fun with what i can build. once i know that we as a community hold power, and i can ask my other players why my build was nerfed, then ill be satisfied
ROCK THE BOAT 3 
Unprofessional dev team, unprofessional mod team, tester team that barely work which results in so many bugs so many dramas and so many hopes broken. Update wait times are also a factor in this.
please no not rock the boat 3 we already had rock the boat 2 which killed half the population of lumen
I donât care anymore, I think I just hate the game now. Iâm here for the forum
Yeah I read the first section and that sums up ALOT by itself
fr tho
if one ely session with you is enough to get your build nerfed it was probably broken
They did not state once, but what they speak of is true.
If it goes against what the balance team actively runs, itâll get a nerf.
During the time of Warlordâs Reign, can you guess what the balance team ran? thatâs correct! Warlord.
It only received a nerf far into its Reign.
