it’s an m1 and a tiny blast
it would be so cool if magic imbued m1’s from swords shot out a slash shape blast
or a magic imbued fighting style m1 shooting out a shorter ranged blast which travels a bit faster
Seems rather unnecessary to add something like that, m1’s just serve as a way for early-game players to fight back without having to spam the same 1st skill over and over again
true, but it’d make m1s a bit more usable and interesting later in the game as well, instead of just early game
right now they’re basically useless unless you’re using a bow or gun
can still make the torso move and make it feel a lot better. it’s a small thing but that’s what we love about AO
My machine gun loadout is ready…
I’ll turn AO into a bullet hell game
kinda the point. m1 is not a thing that’s really thought to be used in the combat system. it just has to be there cuz of early game. or maybe those very few rare pve moments where you got no magic and the enemy is almost dead.
As jeffy stated m1’s are meant to eventually fall out of usage. Doesn’t really help that players and npcs seem to become progressively more mobile as more content is released
wouldn’t it just make ranged m1’s more important if the enemies are more mobile, since then you’d be able to keep up with their movement more reliably
imma be honest, you could have ranged m1’s, but those are still m1’s, they lock you into position, drain stamina if you’re in the air, and do very little damage.
you’d just be dumb af if you used them
not really, you can still move around while using an m1, but it’s just a bit slower. In the air, you can use a dodge reflex right after to quickly dodge attacks as well
ranged m1’s are more of an attack that’s good at keeping the constant damage up without having to commit to larger attacks which can be punished more easily
the fact that they have low damage isn’t really too important, since they can still trigger synergies/apply effects
the fact that wind is so good isn’t because it has high damage, it’s because it knocks people around with its special effect
crystal generally isn’t too great because you have to hit someone 3 times and then once more to get a huge damage boost, which isn’t too reliable since it’s a relatively slow magic
imbuing these magics in a sword and then giving said sword a projectile attack, would be great for both of these magics, since it’d allow both to constantly be able to make use their special effects without having to wait for cooldowns or switch to a different weapon or the magic tool, and it wouldn’t be too overpowered since m1’s do little damage
but since this isn’t really too important, I’m just going to stop this here ig.
Seems like i cant post my qna transcription 
you could paste it in a google doc and then post a link to it here

I think we are all overlooking the ability to join the publishers of the Agora (Juraserva) in later updates. (Who knows when) Maybe this will be a “neutral rep” clan?
It’s just another npc clan, not much to really talk about
but vetex said that it’s going to be cool
so it’ll probably be something more interesting than just another npc clan
Just because he says it’ll be cool doesn’t mean it will end up being cool
I am absolutely replacing my light with equinox, if I can replace my first magic I’ll replace it with diamond if that’s still gonna be added
