Total Game Revamp Details

damn, same that was my favorite part maybe make it so only shop keeper can’t be killed?

No, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t! I honestly tried to give this name a chance, I really have. It’s OK, but every time I read it I think of Mario Odyssey. Change it man, PLEASE! :frcryin:

And don’t you DARE respond to me saying that it fits with bosses n stuff. There are WAY better names…

…ok, MAYBE Odyssey will have to do

Aw. I liked the idea of a large continent. And if bosses are going to be deleted, guess it’s grind time.

Also, flight spells are a pretty nice idea, i’d suggest not removing them.

Okay:

My biggest concern right now:

How will this affect the player inventory?

Are we all farming event items for nothing?

Will we lose our Exalted and Mino items?

It seems like I ought to give a total coverage post as well, seems quite popular.

The Map

Again, it should have variation and make geographical sense. Example:

Boats

There are two extremes for this. There is the “boats are transportation” and there is the “boats are fun”. The first extreme is boring. The second? Take a look for youself: https://forum.worldofmagic.dev/t/if-ships-are-added/38626

Lore and Time Period Changes

Honestly setting it completely on the other side of the world is kinda sad, depending on the size of the world. It separates it a bit from AA, which I don’t particularly feel good about. Part of the reason I liked WoM was the sheer amount of lore in it, even though I never played AA.

Storyline Focus

I agree. When I found out what AA was like, my first reaction was: “Damn it’s kinda sad I never got to be a hero and do something grand” since in WoM we were just talented wizards.

Cultures

Yes a good idea. Civilizations should be very distinct however.

NPCs

This is eh but ok. I can see why it would be necessary.

Quests

Yes this is ok. I think a few random quests should still exist however.

Other

The most important two parts are UI revamp and Lost Spells. Would love to see how they work out.

Changed Update Schedule

This is great. The new regular update schedule will keep regular players and help communication and will maximize the amount of players.

The Name

I’m ok with it, but Odyssey falls a bit flat.

All in all?

Possible Poseidon boss?

I’M POGGING! BIG CHUNGUS WHOLESOME REDDIT RESTORATION 100.

I swear on my racism this will be the greatest update of all time

I don’t think we need to worry about mutations and stuff because this game takes place on the other side of the world, in an area presumably completely isolated from AA and the eventual continent of magius.

This means we don’t have to worry about stuff like mutations and the whole primordial/lost magics thing doesn’t need to be removed and/or replaced by mutations!

I really don’t think this is the way to go about fixing the game. Turning it from a walking simulator into a sailing simulator fixes nothing and is much less effective than adding horses or some other form of transportation. And I don’t see how guild halls and guild wars are going to work with just islands unless they’re really big. This islands change seems based on nostalgia more than anything. Removing non-enemy NPCs seems like a really bad idea, as well, because I think that they could be fixed by splitting the game into universes and making storyline NPCs just invisible to players of the opposite rep so they can’t be attacked. I would much rather take universes over removing one of the most unique and fun features of the game. Also, making hostile NPCs spawn in preset locations would probably make the game more grindy and less about exploration. I also think that there could be a good balance between randomly generated quests and manually created ones given by NPCs that spawn in specific areas. Other than that, I think the removal of cultures is good, probably for the best. Overall this just seems like a step backwards for the game to try to recapture the magic of arcane and throwing away what gave WoM potential, even though arcane itself was a flawed game and wouldn’t really compare too well to some modern roblox games.

yea and world of magic is better?

It just sounds to me like you’re afraid of change, honestly. You have to admit the current game is flawed, if you can’t see that, you’re delusional. And remaking arcane would just be boring and soul crushing, cause I would be doing the same things I’ve already done over and over

Its because everyone that did complain about walking has quit the game by now. Either way, I’m not changing my plans, so if you don’t like the game after the revamp, that’s fine by me, you don’t have to play
