My biggest problem with the story when I started out, Sea Curses

:bear: :pen: :dragon:

wtf?!

hop off my goat there is one thing that is peak about the curses and thats their shape, cube on top

I was really spot on with “you’ll anger the cube fandom” wasn’t I

That being said CUBES ON RTOP RAHHH

the name probably just changed when the sea started killing them

I mean curses are just referred to as curses in the lore doc before the Shattering

Because he was an idealist who basically unleased Pandora’s box v2 onto the world because of it

I mean Arthur didnt ask to make curses, he asked for the full power of magic. Prometheus probably did it to spite him since what the Titan of Foresight foresaw it bringing the destruction of most of humanity.

godly blessing bullshit go yadda yadda for the mc part and like currently speaking we arent him lmao.

anyways you still have to have some skill and strength to actually use a curse, otherwise julian would be a corpse. you no diff people on your skill level sure, but significantly more skilled magic or hell even fs and weapon users if the gap is that large will dunk on you, let alone other characters

I will not take this cube slander you should kill yourself NOW-

anyways why would they even be more complex. I mean they could be, but theres no purpose. they’re pure magic, forced into creation. they arent natural

the experimental curses are just fucked up experiments like the name suggests. they arent even magic, and some dont even give immortality (Merlin’s Nirvana). I dont think spirit energy can turn into elements like magic can, they can have the aura of it, but not be it exactly but thats extrapolation.

I dont even think that aspect of them is canon anymore lmao but if it is, then I mean like prometheus probably just did added that on in his head as he was fucking turning to ash making them

rupin was already a tweaker from having to stand there forced to stay out of reach of it while desperately fighting to stop people from taking it for decades. or he couldve already been a tweaker by default

  • probably since poiseidon used it to manipulate the tides in some notable event once and the name stuck
  • we could just like, straight up not know about it yet??? or its a really strange experimental
  • because that would spoil both important lore and the boss fight?
  • it’d be like swinging a sword through a gas, magic/spirit energy would be another gas causing a chemical reaction with the gas, a sword with weapon aura would just be a sword swith a substance that chemically reacts with the gas for lack of a better analogy
  • people call it the curse vault???
  • experimental curses are curses since they were typically fucked up experiments the Gods would do, elemental curses is the water thing and the seeing your loved ones, including your children, age and die as you stay the exact same
  • healing magic wasnt around when curses were made

He gets it!

This topic is just a hate-train, really:

50% of his arguements are just lack of knowledge. (Information that either was lost forever and doesn’t needs to be re-introduced or its will be introduced later in the story. Plus, why the fuck does he thinks that Growth curse is elemental?)

25% of his arguements are about “open questions” - (things that do not require to be confirmed and have absolutely no impact on the story, but can be theorised or imagined by people to have a reasoning. Example: “Sea Curses” could be a new name made for them after The Fracture, while the old name was never mentioned to prevent confusion")

Other 25% of his arguements are about his “taste”. Example: Bro just hates cubes. There shouldn’t be any explanations for them to be cubes.

oh great
here we go

who said the name existed when it was made

Literally everyone just calls them this anyway

bro just wanted a cube

uh
idk for this one

was Kesslar Boreas racist?

  • Beringer still died
    -If you get a Curse you are instantly the target of every other kingdom and their Curse Users. Good luck.

Winterveil did fine until Nero. Funnily enough, that was the point when they had a Curse User.

Okay this is completely unnecessary cubes are peak shapes

Because they aren’t. Also Experimental and Elemental Curses are inherently different. They are only the same in the way you touch a cube and gain powers.

  • Where did you get six from
  • Where did you get the other part from
  • No wait, where did you get any of this from

seems more like a skill issue on rupin’s part I can’t lie

we dislike water

Could be experimental. Could be something we haven’t heard of yet.

“Hi guys here’s the entire plot of AO, read through it and then in six years time once the game is done have fun playing through the story that you know the plot to already”

Weapon aura is magic, read.
Weapons can hit, it’s just that skilled Curse Users can avoid them by turning their body into their element,

exposition

I don’t want to be targeted by every single power hungry person and outlive all those I love (If I survive the power hungry people) and then also die if I swim and then also die if the Gods don’t like me and then also

Who says there isn’t one

i agree
it wouldve been much cooler if they were [insert the 3d version of a hexagon]

also the size of an suv is about the size i imagined it’d be

theyre 2 different curses

the growth curse is a magicless curse, just like how theres no absorbsion magic or an enchant curse

something something nanomachines son only external powers that few people posess can hurt them

explain??

it… does?

They are, in fact, the same curse

It doesn’t

i feel like with the sea curses, prometheus knew he was dying anyways so he went “you want it? alright, fine” and shot them out everywhere

not retconned

2 of the stronger ones were retconned but they still exist

um no rupin still exists

Significantly worse name

Sea curses are based you just dont understand the method

Bro said “to my knowledge” like he’s not the one creating them

tech and vetex are equally lore guys tmk

Yeah vetex isnt responsible for every single bit of lore, tech makes a bunch of it too so if he doesnt know tech probably will

vetex doesn’t actually write the lore he just gets random messages from beyond the void written by Randal.

also after this i assume cursebeard got pissed considering he couldnt kick prometheus’s face in cause he (prometheus) turned to ash

He just forgets the lore easily (probs what happens if you’re busy coding 24/7)… Thats why he has Tech, he’s not only the guy who gives ideas, he’s also his lore notepad. :joy:
