I do think sky islands should be in AO⌠well if the lore allows it I guess.
However, those clouds are most likely nothing more than the permanent dark clouds over doom island.
Yeah youâre probs misunderstanding it. He said permanent weather clouds located over some areas of the sea ( this doesnt include islands as it says âseaâ ) and islands ( now this mean literal islands on the sea, not floating islands ).
Well. wouldnât they still exist with the placement of the game?
Iâd like em in the game, it makes sense in the current lore.
The real question is. sky skates???
(if Iâm correct, you needed these magic cloud things to fuel em. I know vetex doesnât like the idea of flight since itâd kinda make boats useless, maybe make them terrible, to the point you can only fly about 1 boat before falling for boat PvP)
sky islands are cool, also it seems like vetex wants to add more island-based weapons into the game so I wouldnât be surprised. itâd give a good source of magic items too.
So in AA sky skates were powered by clouds, and would run out very quickly. You couldnât go all the way back up with sky skates so they couldnât really be used for getting island to island. Youâd have to charge them up as you hopped from cloud island to cloud island.
Maybe they could have a decent amount of fuel so you donât have to go back and forth. but they overheat once they travel a low distance (like 1 boat) and you need to be on land to recover, because in that case, itâd NEVER replace boats in terms of travelling, (of course, ocean wouldnât count as on land, you need to be on a solid platform to recover)
Edit: Also, in PvP. if you got hit while using the skates. youâd flitch, causing you to stop using the skates. and possibly leave a opening for the enemy to get more damage
I guess sky skates could have a relatively big capacity but the amount of fuel stored always lowers over time so you canât store it to travel between normal islands or to run away from a fight on the sea
