Having infinitely pouring rain is, to put it quite frankly, one of the most stupidest ideas vetex could of had. NOW! Don’t get me wrong, the whole infinite rain theme fits the dark sea perfectly. This gloomy, dark and twisted sea that has unpredictable phenomena and such but from a gameplay and PVP perspective this is an absolutely horrendous decision. To start off, it makes the already poor and utter dogwater visibility you have even worse, and don’t even get me started on the poor optimization. But that isn’t the point of the thread. The main issue is Ice,Snow and Lightning magics being given FREE STUNS with any magical ability they land. All 3 of these magics apply some sort of stun if the target is soaked, but since we are in the dark sea with INFINITE rain you are never not soaked.
Before all the sweats come in and start saying stupid shit like “Just parry, Just dodge, Just block”. I can do all of that fine. I just feel like I shouldn’t be forced to play out of my mind pixel perfect to avoid the complete utter horseshit free buff these 3 magics get.
The poison rain only serves as a way to force the bathing mechanic down players throats
The soaked status doesn’t bother me as much (lightning user 
)
Yeah and that too. Not to mention how completely useless and unneeded the bathing mechanic is. All it does is make you waste even more time on pointless things in a pointlessly empty sea.
it’s also annoying cuz if it starts magic raining when you’re in a fight or just after winning a fight, you’re going to die and it’s uncontrollable. This just happened to me and it’s such a BS way to die
Worst part is that the shower basin and brews placed on deck glitches for others in your party making them unable to use anything and slowly succumb
Yeah I also reported that bug in the discord. The only fix I found to it was to spawn in your ship, invite all your crewmates and then redock your ship at a ship merchant. That’s the only thing I’ve found that fixes the bathing thing bugging out.
are we not going to talk about the random lighting?
i had my arm blown off due to it
Yeah no one in the party is doing that after filling the brig full of cargo for repairs
the random lightning in itself isn’t that big of an issue. The only issue with it that I have is the frequency at which it strikes at. No reason for there to be at minimum 81 lightning strikes around me every 10 seconds.
no the strikes around me are fine in fact i like them it just THEY HIT ME WAYYY TO MUCH
it’s a random 800-400 damage
i would be going to 2nd ring only to get my hand blown off and have to head back because i can’t do any thing
and dont even get started on the lag
The lag is truly unbearable at times. It’s odd especially with the brig, I’ve noticed that when I’m driving it I’d get random fps drops, but when I hop off the brig I rarely get them.
me who has 200 ping normally with graphics set at low:
Vetex cooked hard with the update but with every new version of the game there are bound to be problems (new glitches, frame drops, warrior metamancers bitching about the vindicator damage being gutted, etc)
Thing is obviously there are gonna be problems, It’s the same with every game. New stuff gets added, new bugs get found etc etc. But the amount of bugs, poor gameplay decisions and just overall poor optimization of the game leaves you wondering what actually took up the 5-6 months of development time.
Vetex STILL has that braindead limb loss system? Literally nobody likes it, why does it still exist?
Not to mention the elysium arena looking gorgeous but only accessible by mods+ like what’s the fucking point of building such a huge map now with a dozen sky islands if no one gets to use it
Building that arena, which quite literally is just a moderator hang out at the moment, took away valuable time from the development of the finished dark sea update that we are currently playing. That arena clearly won’t have any use any time soon, so why not just build it when you’d actually need it? The time spent building and coding the mod office could of spent polishing the poor release of the current update that we have.
To clarify only mods+ can open the portal there which anyone can enter but it doesn’t make it less of a waste of time
damage is still good, a non charged one does like 180 with power enchantment, and you’ll probably be charging ti anyways 
and I tried this with 80 power for the record
