I mind it.

[anon46458836]

me when im entirely wrong

i dont mind it myself even, i just think its stupid that you people are defending a feature the majority of the community dislikes

[anon46458836]

goofball

[anon80065847]

Nevermind then, I’m dying on this hill after all.

[StockSounds]

Nah, you’re living on this hill, dirt’s not going anywhere.

[dukeshade]

Remove dirt, but Sand/Earth mages add heavy dirt on your character that looks completely awful and can’t be removed unless your deep cleaned with 1000 galleon soap.

[anon80065847]

I just think that attention to detail has always been a hallmark of vetex’s development style, and even if it doesn’t always result in the most enjoyable of features it’s still good to have as it differentiates vetex’s games from other rpg’s in roblox.

[StockSounds]

Yeah, make it exclusive to dirty magics.

[StockSounds]

I mean… for Arcane Odyssey that’s definitely the case, but for his other games?

[anon80065847]

ngl I didn’t play any other games besides AA and WOM

[StockSounds]

I played a teensy bit of adventure story way after it was in its prime, but other than that, same.

@anon46458836

is this the hill you people wanna die on, defending fucking dirt?

I hate that tired phrase, just say you disagree, there’s no need to be calling people so foolish (I was going to use a different word to describe the mentally unable but apparently that’s a no-go) that they’ll die defending something inconsequential/indefensible (disregarding the person using the phrase clearly wants to make someone retreat from the metaphorical hill).

@tbd

yeah well the problem is that dirt sucks as an immersion feature.

immersion != realism. seeing my character get dirty doesn’t immerse me into this world of magic and pirates, it takes me out of it, since that isn’t something that i’m expecting. when i’m playing as a flashy hero fighting off pirates, i don’t imagine that hero also getting dirty. or tanning in the sun.

ao is not a realistic game, nor is it about the environment, so dirt doesn’t really fit

Perhaps immersion is the wrong word. When attention and effort is paid to the most minute and mundane things, the game is made better. Seeing the world react to what you do is a wonderful thing, whether it be destroying a city or having dirt accumulate on your character as time passes and you do things. It shows the game has heart.

[white_thing]

that’s definitely a way to fix it
like why in the hell does getting hit with something like light make me look like I was rolling around in the mud like a pig

[anon46458836]

@Walyn

just say you disagree

i dont disagree with dirt not being an issue, i disagree with people trying to defend the genuine flaws with this system and not pushing for changes (in example, the face texture for dirt being cut off)

would a toggle kill the games immersion? (even though, opening 3 chests and suddenly looking like i havent showered for 3 days isnt particularly immersive)

[Rycanlase]

Im questioning this community
Sitting on Computer all days complaining on Forum

[puppykeeper1234]

make it so more magics clear dirt
one would assume that covering yourself in literal fire/light would burn up any mud

[anon46458836]

youre the one contributing nothing while sitting on your computer complaining on the forum

[white_thing]

while i’m inclined to agree this isn’t the best time to jump in and insult both sides, my guy

[StockSounds]

Me after I get hit with a magical gust of wind

[anon46458836]

honestly would be fire, perfect buff for earth magic
