You’re absolutely right.
However is it not insane to design a feature like this instead of, oh, I don’t know, BALANCING THE MAGICS???
You’re acting like its completely impossible, which it is obviously not.
You’re acting like lost fighting styles and weapons will absolutely NEVER be meta (they will).
Classes would have a rock-paper-scissor scenario with skill being another factor though, so that isn’t really a problem. Weapons would have better piercing so with skills, it could beat lost magic despite the unique effects it would have. Same thing with spirit too since apparently you would be able to manipulate the environment.
You’re kinda basing that the pvp gameplay would be based around only pure skill when it isn’t, otherwise what’s the point of each classes having a gimmick when they all would be made equal.
Ngl this whole thing is pointless considering hecate essence is easy to find once you understand how to find them. Quite literally I found four hecate essences averaging 3-5 hours each, all while having quality 1 w/ render distance 10.
People who kept complaining about not being able to find hecate essence in days, or weeks even, just doesn’t understand the method. Otherwise, hecate taxis wouldn’t be a thing if it is that long to find. It just seems like a skill issue along with luck issue.
Granted I wish it’s faster ngl, but I dunno what goes on Vetex’s mind though at the very least, he isn’t an idiot. Let him cook ig since it’s only a problem with the current state of hecate essence.
Why are you so determined to say its not a problem then?
Do you not think that’s a completely unreasonable grind for something as small as changing your base magic, which I repeat, for the 50 millionth time, that every other class can do for free?
what do you think is so hard about it? like the sailing? the traversing islands? it’s not hard to find its just time consuming. i think the biggest issue is that people find an island with it but miss the hecate (because they do tend to move very quickly thoughout the island) with it being easier to see it’ll be less of a problem and it wont spawn in walls, which means after going through 12 islands in the far reaches (2 hrs max ) you’ll be able to fidn it, likely before that since its a 1/12. also agility is being buffed because its more potent on gems
