Silly vetex thinks that he can create his game how he wants it to be

vetex needs to stop adding random inconveniences for the sake of “immersion,” when I see my Lego character turn jet black due to standing in sameria for too long, I don’t think “wow this is so detailed” I think “what the fuck”

just put the skyhall in the bag bro

yeah i can agree that tanning and dirt accumulation is a huge pain

Its not so much that he can’t. Anything short of making the game unplayable/unfun is ultimately going to be a game of chicken between things that players don’t like about the game and a sunk cost fallacy coupled to what things players like about the game over another Roblox (or other) choice.

Its pure hubris to believe that Vetex has to do ANYTHING… Almost to the point that the meme with the kid shouting “your actions have consequences” with a hoarse voice comes to mind when I hear things like this. Like… Vetex can literally pull the plug on the game, invalidating the time and money of any and every player involved, and its not going to be grounds for a lawsuit.

Players have to think about it from the fundamental (existential) acceptance that a developer does not HAVE to listen to the playerbase. A developer does not HAVE to make quality-of-life changes, or probe for feedback on decisions.

This is also sadly same from Roblox, as anyone who has been on this platform for too long can tell you: there was a time when not every decision Roblox was making involved selling off their playerbase for as much profit as humanely possible.

Basically, join the club of all of us who are already asking ourselves “what the heck is this person thinking?”

agreed, vetex isnt obligated to do anything, even if it would be better if he did

Not true, the people that don’t like the features will leave, but then other people who do like them will come

I’m afraid to say that if people didn’t insult him, the changes would’ve actually went through. But that’s vetex’s fault, honestly he should’ve just tanked the insults and make the class name changes anyways

Like, I can’t help but feel this fanbase is spoiled rotten. The discord chat options were disabled because people were being piss-babies about names that dont affect immersion at all, even on principle.

I can say there’s a lot of things that I would like to (and by extension like NOT to) see in the game (and know none of those wishes would probably ever happen), but like people probably need to touch some grass and take a break from AO (or roblox) if they are upset over something as benign as class renames…

frankly speaking this accomplishes literally nothing.
the best possible outcome is nothing happening and the only other is you getting suspended lol.

when people act like this, its no wonder vetex has become stubborn and closed off from his community, who could have possibly seen that coming?

Except he might just will now since y’know, the discourse around it probably made him think twice about caring to listen to feedback, since that feedback was a box of cocaine-infused monkeys.

People have been harping on vetex for years here, no one is getting suspended

I didn’t say suspension was the only possible outcome.
I said it was the only possible outcome outside of literally nothing happening.

DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER, IN THE GAME TRANSFER, WHEN WORLD OF MAGIC BOSS ITEMS BECAME USELESS UNTRADABLE LUMPS OF MEAGER GALLEONS THAT A SINGLE GOOD CARGO RUN WOULD OUTVALUE ALL OF YOURS? Cheshire farms remembers.

Moral of the story: it could be so much worse.

Do you remember how late wom trading completely fell apart because boss drops lost all value and sunkens were suddenly practically unobtainable to new players

I think bro might be the most useless person on the forums. do you think I don’t know this already :pensive:

damn what a completely unfamiliar concept that I haven’t experienced whatsoever, I sure am glad vetex fixed this in ao

:sleeper:

History repeats itself

Quit your complaining, you can buy sunkens with GALLEONS in ao, in wom it was 4 oaths for a shit enchant helm (no unenchant feature btw) or NOTHING

“I miss WoM” nah, you miss Magius, the gameplay was lowkey mid

I miss walking for 5 hours to hunt exiled to get oaths to trade for shit helms to trade for non shit helms to trade for legs to trade for chests to trade for swords to trade for headless (that won’t be useful until ancients)
