It shouldn’t have been released this early into Arcane Odyssey’s development since it’s clearly meant to take on the role of post-game content.
We don’t have the full game yet, there is no need for post-game content.
We could have been empowered with additional levels instead of dark sea gear, empowering the player had alternatives.
We are not going to explore it for long with how dry it is (the irony), something that won’t change as there is no need for content that cannot be accessed due to our current level limit.
Overall, the dark sea was added at the wrong time solely for Vetex to keep his players occupied while he continues to develop Arcane Odyssey, something that has somehow worked very well and continues to do so.
In this situation it isn’t the dark sea that you’re enjoying, but the social aspect of being with your friend and interacting with them.
It’s the same with everything; The more the merrier.
