“capos”… this is insulting to my Italian heritage
accidentally press “Ctrl A + Ctrl D” combination
New DeV command, new PvP team.
smth else i might end up doing would be allowing positive effect blood diseases but they are instead applied to yourself instead of an enemy (like Iron skin giving yourself resistance but slowing you down, or permanent clearsight/revealing in exchange for some of your health)
cause i still don’t feel it’s worth it to use blood diseases rn unless you are already a tanky build where the health loss is not that big of a deal (but at that point why would you want to lower your durability if thats the whole point of the build? Ironskin might be used for the tank builds but not mych else for those build types)
I would do exactly what I do with my own game, I would occasionally play through it with a notes app open so every time I run into an annoying bug or something ticks me off in general I just write it down so I have an easy QoL to-do list for later
I’d also probe the community for complaints, though if I were in Vetex’s position I’d might end up getting sick of that fast with the amount people here who think he’s incompetent or lazy for releasing Full Release the way it is
I would also begin researching what a lot of the tasks on the Microprofiler mean in hopes that it can shed some light on why the frame times are so bad (and also what causes the periodic lagspikes)

The forbidden file wipe.
Nah I but think vetex also needs a break. Now idk vetex’s life or mental but after a more then a year of development, the recent bug fixing and probably more in these next few months, it has to be exhausting(especially bug fixing, has to be the most brain numbing task in existence). In addition with the some of the oversights and the amount of opinions(for lack of a better word) on a year’s efforts, maybe its time to relax. Now obviously, the game is still in a patchy shape and this is, as far as I know, vetex’s livelihood so it’s hard to suggest packing up for a few months. But I am kind of suggesting that because WE all wanna see AO become as peak as can be.
Then again, I could be wrong. Vetexgames is actually in his prime, fully confident in the future and is actually enjoying bug fixing.
Be welcome to people’s ideas and change.

Sometimes it feels like the people in here WANT him to suck and be a bad dev. IMO there is too much complaining when the state of the game isn’t even that bad.
There is one dude that made a biblical-sized post saying the update is a disappointment and a few of his reasons were “my friends skip the story dialogue so I have to skip as well or else I’ll be late for fights” and “I can’t park my boat in the same tight docks that the stationary boats use” 
. And there is also that one dude with a green pfp that is ADAMANT on partcline leaving the team because he wasn’t being paid or whatever and is on bad terms with vetex. Like bro, FUCK OFF.

so, funny story, he was actually mass quoting posts from another topic, and those two complaints in particular (as well as a good chunk of the post) just so happen to be mine… 
If that was the interpretation I guess I should improve the wording, does this look better?
(the original context for this list was “Petition to dedicate a whole update to fixing bugs” and I made a list of things that’d be nice to see in a game cleanup update, I promise I wasn’t just insanely salty about the way full release came out)
lol, lmao even.

On a more serious note, I think your post is completely fine since it was made with good intention. But making an entire thread to call the update a disappointment while a good chunk of the things listed being almost downright silly (image below) just feels toxic and borderline doomposting
I don’t read bug fixes religiously but I THINK most of the things listed there had already been adressed by the time the post was made, since there was a 4 day gap between your post and theirs. I even played for plenty of hours today and the only thing that still bothers me is the minibosses living in their boats like they are Gabe Newell
Alright, I will admit I was wrong with the partiline situation, but instead of correcting me you had to smoke me here.
If this community would rather just find reasons to attack others rather then “hey, what you said is bullshit and actually wrong with proof” then people like me are absolutely just not welcome for making a mistake out of rage.
And no, people don’t want to see the game fail. Which is why vetex often gets the blame if things go south. They don’t care about him, they care about the game he made.
That’s just the default state of things. You do a bad job, you get smoked for both the things you did (tanning, bugs, etc) and the things you may have done. If you do badly, people assume the worst.

im not mentioning bugs, because fixing bugs is already a given. only game design related things
-delete water poisoning
-make dark sea less cancerous
-add back repairing your ship with cargo and galleons (drachma* 
)
-rename drachma to galleons
-rework fleets to be 100% idle & afk farmable but give a lot less rewards
-upon joining a server, all fleet captains will spawn on their respective islands instantly and never move from them
-somehow give the ability to get back your original deckhand from your fleet (maybe a deckhand bank where you can have up to 10 deckhands stored and swapped easily)
-give the ability to “upgrade” ships in your fleet from ketches → brigs with galleons
-delete warlock & beserkers from the game
-delete nimbus wilds as a treasure chart location
-make the glider consume 0 stamina
-delete fall damage
-delete tanning and dirt
-delete or rework allanon completely (WHO tested this and give it the OK? fired immediately)
-remove drowning if you run out of stamina (you can still swim but you lose hp over time like T jumping without stamina) + significantly decrease stamina drain from swimming
-add stamina regen as a jewel effect
-make enemy towers invulnerable to terrain destruction
-delete terrain destruction entirely (its crazy to imagine how well the game would run, and how many less glitches would occur if he just finally let go of this stupid feature)
When i first joined the forums one of my first impressions was that this place is filled with doomers and people who like making themselves angry
