I chose mermaids on a whim late at night and they’re getting absolutely cooked 
I don’t have enough time to grind this phestival… coil is mad fun, though even when I feel like I’m pubstomping I’m getting half the stats of when I play katana…
-
“DPS” does not mean “does damage” or “have aoe”. A “DPS” role is a role that entails dealing a larger than usual or a very consistent amount of damage reliably. Boombox does not fit that role. Biograft and Shuriken fill that role, or more specifically Glass Cannon, a subset of DPS. Boombox does not fall into any subset of DPS.
-
The ability to provide 40 shield (in exchange for 4 charges of perfectly timed m1s + the m2, which isn’t something you can spam very easily) does not provide the role of “Tank” to Boombox. That’s like saying Coil and Vinestaff are tanks because they heal themselves.
-
Boombox is a Support Phighter. This is because he can provide some haste to his teammates around him, and can supply some shield in a pinch, along with the Phinisher that grants 50 extra shield for a period of time, and 50% haste briefly.
This could mean
- That this man doesn’t know the game that he’s hating
- That this man just hates phighting and loves misrepresenting it/just isn’t good
would explain a lot of things ngl, including the groomers
hey man, it isn’t very easy to match katana scores in open server in general
“just isn’t good”, as in you’re just really bad at the game.
also WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GETTING GROOMERS FROM?? Phighting has NEVER had ANY of those
THE ARCANE ODYSSEY COMMUNITY HAS HAD MORE OF THEM FOR GODS SAKE
minor issue: it was a lot bigger than phighting’s last I checked.
also a large percentage of that community are groomers lol… why else would they actively post NSFW in general
where the fuck are you getting this deliberate libel (not even fucking slander, that would imply a shred of truth, this is just lying) from. Like seriously what the fuck are you on about. Are you just sad because you got pubstomped or something? Quick, tell me how Banhammer’s Phinisher works, complete with it’s several charges and how you get them, or how Coil works as a phighter, if you apparently know so much.
here’s an image of general chat right now
here’s an image of phighting-general right now
where the FUCK are you getting this from? Oh, I know, you’re making it up.
YOU CAN’T EVEN POST IMAGES IN GENERAL.
you could back in 2021
cool three years ago how is that relevant in any way whatsoever that’s like saying you shouldn’t be able to dash in ao or use any lost spell because they didn’t exist back when it was WoM
three years and the gameplay is still as ass as ever 
again, tell me how banhammer’s phinisher works and how coil’s moveset works if you know so much about phighting.
games change, that’s why we’re playing arcane odyssey and not world of magic
idk I didn’t try banhammer last time I played and coil didn’t exist either
so you have zero experience with most of the game then
just give in and accept that you don’t like phighting, it’s ok to not like things. That doesn’t mean you need to resort to fucking libel whenever talking about the game and acting like Phighting has a worse community than the American Conservative party. It’s ok to not like things, but that doesn’t mean that if someone asks “is phighting a nice game I’ve never heard of it” you need to go “NO IT’S DOGSHIT THE BALANCE SUCKS ASS THE COMMUNITY IS A BUNCH OF GROOMERS THEY COULD BE ARRESTED BECAUSE OF THE SHIT THEY DO THE GAME LOOKS HORRIBLE”.
quit spilling bullshit man
uhhhh sure, if you count having all of the badges before whichever one was added after the x66.6/biograft one as having no experience.
yes, because again, having played WoM three years ago is not the same to being a pro at AO PvP
I need to be a pro at AO PvP in order to analyse its game design and balance?
That’s good to know, I should stop juding everything because I’m not good at it myself now.
Also can I ask why Player Service requested that I disconnect?
yeah, you do need to be an avid pvper to know if thermo fist is balanced or not.
Or I can just look at its statistics and calculate the stuff idk, math!
protip: experimental data >>>>>> theoretical data
Live feedback stream:
1st match in a year, I don’t know what the hell is even going on. Readability is a 0/10.
Stupidly slow cutscenes! At least learn from smash…
Is this game just a “positive” stress dump with slow animations..?
Why do I keep on getting kicked because of the player service?
Why is the menu/intro so obnoxiously long? and why does the intro play whenever I join the game?
It’s surprisingly easy to get these so-called charges of yours on boombox, why was that even an argument?
Where do I disable skins? I literally can’t tell at first glance who’s playing what. Turns out I can’t, great game design.
My team just made us lose, is there no singleplayer mode/FFA mode?
And now there’s a gamemode that forces me to play characters I’m not familiar with? This is only fun to the experienced players
I’m cutting this short, but I’ve been playing for well over an hour now and I can tell that it does have a bit of substance, but it isn’t solid at all.
The new player experience is really bad, there’s nothing to familiarise yourself with the game and all of your fights are against people that are super sweaty (they could at least copy splatoon’s story mode).
Gameplay novelty is… Not novel at all, it’s just your average hero fighter.
Some things are just not explained at all and are left ambiguous, like where do I see my charge counter at on boombox.
Some gamemodes are quite literally made against new players, at least let me learn how to most efficiently use one character before forcing me to make use of random/other ones.
The outcome of matches is heavily reliant on whether or not your team is good, there’s no carrying (which can be good but oftentimes is bad).
The gameplay mostly consists of building up stress and then releasing it, which is literally unhealthy.
The music is terrible oh my god.
Please let me skip these long dialogues, these are the basics of game design.
Why are the animations so slow? And why can I take damage while in the ultimate’s cutscene? If you’re going to make a fast paced game, make it feel fast paced.
Total rating: 5/10, it’s okay but it could better itself in so many ways.
