THIS IS NOT A DOOMPOST it is a question if you disagree or prove it is a doompost than your right and you earn the medal of
ngl he used to be much more active not only in dev but also with his community he would post trello updates and development informantion in the discord server, create polls to gather community feedback and he would also tease information via lore drops or sneak peeks which of which we havent gotten in a month, not related to Vetex but there also used to be some kind of community manager that would post AO related stuff on the twitter page and honestly stuff like this made the over 1 year long wait for full release more enjoyable than the radio silence of today.
with how slow development is going i think its fair to say Vetex has to force himself to work on AO and I think the failure of full release and players leaving the game demotivated him alot.
Arcane odyssey on peak times has barely more players than it did at its lowest points in the dark sea update
THIS IS NOT A DOOMPOST (nor a question) IT IS AN OBSERVATION I PRESENT INFORMATION THAT I THINK IS TRUE IF U THINK THIS IS DOOMPOST I DONT CARE ̶e̶z̶ man im good. also ###### This message was eaten by a shark.
IMPORTANT polls they are important(they do nothing)
this is a doompost and i have the medal of
i feel vetex bro id be mad too if i had the world in my grasp(100k players holy moly) and it just slipped away, my money is gone, my time is gone and my community sucks
vetex shouldave just not released early access and waited for full release
pollfiller1
i want to become a dev for arcane odyssey and help vetex escape this hell cycle
mistakes were made and now they are biting back
pollfiller2
story shouldnt be the main focus for arcane odyssey as it sets a limit where playing feels pointless when your past it, instead story should be an optional questline while exploration and freedom should be the biggest focus of this game(horrible take ngl nobody will vote this sbut it exists because pilgrammed did it ik it has like no story but still oldfart dreams is like story and pitjukies and pilgram is have more players ao rn so pill is > ao like u felll me type shi lil bro oilup likern oiup )
Dude, go to sleep. You used to post actual stuff like with content and meaning and now its just oooo AO dying ooo Vetex gave up like just shut up and sleep.
I love doomposting i love doomposting about AO!!1 its so peak!!!
but on a serious note i really do hope the game makes a proper comeback and vetex hires more active testers/developers to help out with ao cuz if not i think this game can genuinely die entirely
Hiring more testers and developers won’t help if he doesn’t improve.
He barely listens to his testers to begin with, adding more he doesn’t listen to won’t help.
Hiring more developers wouldn’t assist development either, as he wants full control over things that are supposed to be implemented or changed (not deleted, never deleted), locking said new developers to a strict goal.
Granted, that can be done… unless you’re working with Vetex’s code which is using WoM’s 6-7[1] year old code, it takes more work to teach someone how to code in the game than just to code it yourself.
Vetex needs to change, not testers nor developers.
Vetex kinda painted himself in the corner with the community. Sure, the community sucks at times, but he doesn’t prove himself very mature often either. When he does appear in the community, it’s often him falling for ragebait and personally banning someone for several months.
Vetex should focus his efforts into improving his writing skills and just make a book like he was going to do rather than dragging AO out.
I’d be more interested in an improved AO storyline from an improved author rather than a mid story and mid game. In fact it could even be a webcomic like AA and have a subcommunity on Roblox (or any other place) making fangames for it and vetex can just focus on the story.
(I say mid game and not improved game because I doubt Vetex really studies game design like that)
That’s what I’d do if I fell out of love with my Roblox game.
AO’s biggest blunder will always be the Update prioritization
Underwater update: another way to farm sealed chests (and a more boring one at that) that new players almost never do because its not explained
Potions update: ruined the pvp for the following year, new players dont even brew potions, 90% of potions arent even useful and never see any use
Dark sea: (finally)
Nimbus sea: was bound to be lackluster due to Sameria’s size and lack of a dev team, not anyone’s fault exactly
Mistral: feels like it should’ve been part of Nimbus but whatever
Empires: Useless clan building feature barely anyone ever uses due to poor implementation and I will never not be salty about that, this took 4-5 months to make.
Imagine a world where ao released Dark Sea first thing in the morning, and its actually part of the story so it comes with a level cap increase (Player is forced to go to Dark sea to hide for a while from Ravenna narratively?)
Not to mention that a month was spent working on alignment system, with Frostmill even being finished iirc[1], then vetex scraps the update while already knee-deep and instead makes irrelevant changes to spirit[2] so people wouldn’t say a whole month of development time was wasted[3].
Canonically all of Dark Sea is i5, you just enter, the sea collapses beneath you and you die instantly.
so it shouldn’t have been a ton of work for other towns, since the groundwork was already made ↩︎
one new rite that wasn’t even spirit-exclusive and 4 special imbuement visuals that are just glorified warrior’s aura ↩︎
