Studio Build: Sundered Crown Fortress

Due to AO’s combat design, the most effective way to do PvE will always be just keeping your distance and spamming projectiles on enemies.

My own imaginations would be small mini bosses, for more content in ds.
Your fort structures are perfect for those scenario, as like you based them off of Forgotten Fort from Sea of Thieves. Maybe like some bosses can drop something unique but not entirely special that the entire community would try get their hands on it and abuse the hell out of it. Or maybe just good haul of loot to be looted.

Yeah, that’s my thoughts exactly. I’m sure we will get more bosses down the line though, but ofc the loot we get from them will just be more rng to grind out.

fr, it’s not the most terrible combat in the world, but I hope in the future regular combat will be more engaging and varied.

Yeah, it’s not horrible but fundementally promotes the same playstyle for everything

Tobi, any thoughts on the fortress’ inclusion into the main game?

Can’t believe my birthday is the day that Tobi said “my bad” that one time.

So yeah, I presume this is Gloam Ruins, since I don’t see much building space, it’s already made out of entirely walls.

looks cool i hope it comes in the game!

Tobi_pretty_please

my question is, thoughts on the rename? (this is gloam ruins right)

I think its Blackreach, nothing else fits the name
Also, these is another island with ruins on it :eyes:

also, now we know that if it’s good enough, vetex will still add it

*and fits, asterios is fire but WOM

Couldn’t be blackreach, Gloam Ruins is the one you can’t claim, and how could you claim this? It already is a fortress.

just read stock’s thing, asterios is also there
posts have a chance of making it in

I’m fine with most of the renames, except for one.

Asterios Labyrinth has a nice ring to it, but since the Minotaur is no longer on-island, the name doesn’t quite fit. New one sounds just as cool (I’m not gonna confirm)

Gloam Ruins fits well with the lore it’s tied to.

Cedar Arch suits the island perfectly, and honestly, I wasn’t too fond of the placeholder name I originally chose when I sent it to Vet.

The only one I’m not a fan of is Thrylos Crossing, which was originally called Gilded Plateau because of its color scheme and island shape. It was also a nod to the Altus Plateau from Elden Ring, which was the original inspiration. While the new name has more meaning, I’m personally attached to the original.

Oh, okay, so that cylindrical one’s Thrylos Crossing, obviously. I love getting answers from Tobi slipping up!

Not sure what you mean by cylindrical.
