When you don’t read replies and realise the person above you made the exact same joke you did
I was suggested this in the past
Pee magic
swamp water/earth merciful paladin
the sewer build
Remove homing and out of combat gems and replace them with agility
Make the dev team work on WOM every other day
Add Grand Navy issued taxes
You know how you were fined for property destruction in WOM?
Re-add that, but you have to pay the fine before leaving the city. If you don’t, you’re considered on the run, and immediately take a massive hit to your reputation.
This encourages players to solely use low-destruction attacks in cities!
all stats are now agility
take that balance team! i agilitied on the fucking substats!
Size stat affects boob size on female torso items
Sigh time to get a max size set
hey you could make it worse if it applied to every torso item too you know
what with the male characters
Combat rework
As someone who’s spent time on TV Tropes, I hate to inform you that this wouldn’t even be a concept unique to AO.
I hate that you’re not wrong
incorrect this goes in good features
Uncap the level and cancel the PVP toggle, add back in agility, replace power with armor piercing
Make equipment stats lock you into a certain minmax build
The first item you find that has a stat like power of attack size will force you to only be able to find and equip items that also have that stat
negative status effects stay until death
New status damage vulnerability (Will be given depending on the build you use)
Increases all incoming damage (Scales with 100% of resistance, which includes blocking and parrying so womp womp resistance is now a negative stat )
Description “Your body is weakened to balance out the fighting styles, weapons, spirit weapons, and magics you are currently using”
How to get
Every update instead of nerfing op builds give them damage vulnerability and the Bteam should decide which magic, fs, weapon, spirit weapons, and stat build should get the penalty
problem solved!!!
Example:
If the balance team deems a savant build using the following weapons: vindicator, Lance of loyalty, and Lion’s halberd
the magic it is using is fire
the fighting style is iron leg
and the spirit weapon is eagle patrimony, crystal ball thing, and the staff spirit weapons thing then…
What will happen
So for each thing that is deemed op the player will be given damage vulnerability and take 20% more damage for each thing used in their build (This also includes stat builds)
How this will affect AO positively
The damage vulnerability will solve all problems with META OP BUILDS! by giving players a worthy punishment for using them. It will also solve the problem with BUILD DIVERSITY!!! by encouraging people to use the most underused things in AO to avoid the status “Damage vulnerability” thus making the underused things overused and deemed op by the balance team
THIS WILL SAVE AO!!!11111111
The lower HP you are, the weaker you get (for immersion purposes)
