Opinion on this (Vetex statement)

If I say what I htink Vetex will ban me

Godot and unity are free

The only extra money vetex would spend is the modeling and servers, though u still have a point

don’t underestimate how much server hosting can cost. you’ll also be responsible for security and optimization instead of relying on a bigger corporation to do it for you

Except the boss was the only working employee until a few months ago. Now that he’s got a bit of a group, hopefully he can make better updates. I wasn’t excusing Vetex for poor updates, I was pointing out that he didn’t have as much help back then, so the updates are gonna be worse. Hopefully full release will be better.

How is Arcane Odyssey not an “actually” good game?

Yes it’s an mmorpg no indie dev can make that without help of apps like Roblox

Can’t name 10, but hunger, player jailtime, and limb loss come to mind.
I’d also argue against beast protection, given that its just a really bad stat and shouldn’t exist.
(it ruins vanity and non-humanoid fights in one fell swoop)

yes.

wb people who want a new magic that’s cooler

this wont become a problem unless there are actual meta clones like shadow mage in dark sea update

I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again, they’re going to fix that with Starter Pack

also, I get most people don’t like doing this, but you can still make new files without the new starter pack and try magics. I do this (but you guys think this game has bad replayability so whatever)

not possible!

Vetex said it? :sob:

I realized i forgot to put my own because lmao

anyways here’s my take

I think that the statement is kind of, weird, if not dumb, because it completely contradicts the idea of making a gamepass, you intend for it to be bought, if it wasn’t that then you simply don’t make it, but oh well we can’t read Vetex’s mind.

isnt p2w you only are paying to change your base magic, could be pay to fast but yea it sound kinda stupid too… what is next? 1k robux to change your fs for a new fs with max mastery?

stop leaking the patreon :rage:

Not sure what you mean by this.

On creation being the opposite of customization, I suppose you’re talking about customizing an existing character vs creating a new character? Either way, I don’t think that needing to put time or resources into leveling a new character or changing an existing character is a heavy discouragement. If someone wants to try something new, they can get a feel for it fairly early into the leveling process. I do think improvements could be made to facilitate trying new builds, such as a shared bank so you can store items before deleting a character, or move items between characters with ease.

I don’t see the game as being primarily story-driven. It gives the player somewhere to go, nothing more. Also, a linear story does not make a game bad.

I’m not sure how immersion is similar to replayability, unless you’re also calling it a red herring, whatever that means in this context. I also am not sure how immersion is close to “player interactivity”.

I’m not sure how the player being affected by the environment goes against the idea of immersion.

What’s immersive about clicking a button on a screen to select a character? Sometimes you can’t make everything completely immersive, and I’d rather not take a hit to my fame every time I end up closer to a private chest than a vendor. I also suppose it keeps a character that is nominally a hero honest - you can’t burn fame on looting every private chest and then go kill a few sirens to get your fame back up.

You chose to be a villain, so you’ll get hunted by the navy. How is that not immersive?

So, because there will inevitably be an end to the exploration, the exploration done along the way is bad? Not sure I understand what you’re getting at.

Oh my, I didn’t know I had the audacity to question the claim of “the game is not actually good” from someone so well-read; 30 hours of excellent medias! I apologize for making you explain"simple things" such as why the game is not good, I am a mere frog in a well compared to you who is above so many others. Perhaps one day I will become enlightened and understand why the game is not good. Did you mean for all of that to have such an arrogant, self-aggrandizing tone?

I’m not sure if it’s p2w but it is pay to fast like you said, that is guaranteed, also the fs thing would be kinda lame cuz it’s hella cheap to switch + lvl up (just beat up fort talos)

Saying something like “AO isn’t actually a good game” is a bit of an overexaggeration, but I’ll assume you really meant it.

Fair enough. It’s definitely AO’s main problem and the biggest reason as to why it’s dying. (By popular gaming standards, at least)

Customization is heavily discouraged? That isn’t necessarily true, as there’s absolutely a build out there for every player and playstyle- whether you want to run agility, attack speed, size, etc… In terms of viable armor, yes there is a lack of choice, but in the end you’re still customizing your build. Vanity also exists for people who want to couple their build with good looks.
Creation in Arcane Odyssey is not discouraged, atleast if you’re not actively trying to play the game in a different way from what Vetex intended. Some things that support this would be existence of free files(You start with three, so it’s not wrong to say that you’re meant to max out all of them with different builds), clans, and clanbuilding (Flawed, but the point still stands).

Fair enough.
Skipping “Immersion” as there is no argument to respond to.

This is redundant. What simple things? Simple things like the opinions that come out of your mind? Do you want us to read your mind so we can understand your point of view? If you don’t want to explain your point, then don’t make an argument in the first place.

So… Arcane Odyssey isn’t actually a good game because you, yrni0 our magnificent king who can do no wrong and speak no lies thinks it’s boring? Wow! What an amazing point, I’m so astounded that I can hardly formulate a response…
Give me a break, man.

I’m being 120% serious when I say this, are you in danger? Is someone putting a dangerous weapon to your head and forcing you to interact with us stinky forumers? You’re acting like you’re being forced to do this. Can’t put down the cup? Can’t release your fingertips from your keyboard, warrior?

It’s as if you really just went out of your way to make this high and mighty, “I’m nothing like you people” magnum opus. Do you think you’re a genius for citing your sources and using big words like “red-herring” and “competitive online multiplayer”? Big monkey no understand big words. Hey, maybe that person you’re talking to online CAN’T see things from your point of view and needs to know what it is your yammering about so that they can respond! Maybe sometimes what seems simple to you isn’t so simple to others.

tl;dr YES king :weary: → NO king :fearful: → king STOP!!! :scream:

Big bird out :eagle:
