i mean if asize is actually considered bad there, then nerfing it would make it worse
idk how to explain it more in depth or how to balance it, im using knowledge from TF2 balancing vids which applies here in pretty much the same way because of a simular playerbase spread
Scrolls replacing mutations throughout lore is kinda funny with Theosâ Phoenix magic story
Chad mutating out of sheer emotional grief from not being able to safe your wife despite how strong you are
vs
Virgin studying a scroll like some kind of nerd
Jokes aside I could see Theos desperately studying the Phoenix magic scroll to cure his wife but not being in the right mindset to unlock it, then her death acts as the catalyst for truly understanding the magic and unlocking it
As a system mutations was alright but it doesnât really make sense with the level of magic we see people using. Scrolls are flawed, but thatâs because vet still needs to specify a lot about them.
scrolls 100%, mutations have a glaring issue where you have to play through a majority of the game using a magic you donât like or even hate just to get the one you do like, scrolls give a lot more freedom and are a logical advancement for magic in a place so far ahead like the war seas
It really depends on the game/lore perspective. I chose mutations cause that benefits the story more in terms of character arcs/growth. Gameplay-wise, yeah, the scrolls fit more.
I guess for now, the magic scrolls system might be kept. But I wouldnt be surprised if Vetex discards it later when he starts writing his book series to fit the storytelling better lol. He shouldnt restrict the lore of an entire series focused solely on storytelling just to fit the game counterpart
And yeah, I guess the scrolls doesnt seem to fit much because its difficult to visualise how it even works. We dont know how they work for the characters, so yeah
Vetex could and probably should play scrolls into character development. They should be a challenge to overcome and learn from. A mage might spend sixty years studying his fatherâs old Lunar Magic scroll to no avail, just to manage to get the hang of it at a key moment.
Perhaps somebody might try to learn a lost magic from some skilled mentor, just to realise itâs not for them and to try and develop their other skills. Thereâs so many opportunities but I fear vet might not take them.
