Weapon & Vitality Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread)

The level 80 fresh out of Talos witnessing a whole armada of Crimson Crescents descent upon them:

I can’t wait to ruin the entirety of Ravenna except Tiberia

If Mistral will be like Palo Town or Sailor Lodge we can easily say that vetex is not only reusing islands concepts from AA, but from AO as well :yawning_face:

AA islands comparison Sea 1

Newground Island (AA 1S) - Dawn Island (AO BS)
Doom Island (AA 1S) - Harvest (AO BS) [same u shape]
SavariA (AA 1S) - Sameria (AO NB) [Duh]
Cumulus Island (AA 1S) - Cirrus (AO BS)
Mavist Island (AA 1S) - Shell Island (AO BS)
Boxing Island (AA 1S) - None
Canopy Island (AA 1S) - Elm Island (AO BS)
Eve Island (AA 1S) - Fort Talos? (AO BS) [i mean, both have walls…so uh…]
Graveyard Island (AA 1S) - None
Ice Crown Island (AA 1S) - Shale Reef (AO NB)
Ice Maze (AA 1S) - Frostmill Island (AO BS)
Lava Tower (AA 1S) - None
Magic Fist Island (AA 1S) - Limestone Key? (AO BS)
Outcast Tower (AA 1S) - Silverhold (AO BS) [duh]
Permafrost Island (AA 1S) - None

AA islands comparison Sea 2

Borealis Shipwreck (AA 2S) - Sailor Lodge (AO BS)
Juggernaut Isle (AA 2S) - Munera (AO BS)
Dawn’s Refuge (AA 2S) - Whitesummit (AO BS) [underground town]
Altavista (AA 2S) - Palo Town? (AO BS)
Ark Island (AA 2S) - Drakos Arch (AO NS)
Devil’s Sea (AA 2S) - Jaws (AO BS)
Freedom Lookout (AA 2S) - Redwake? (AO BS)
Impact Island (AA 2S) - None
Moon Cove Island (AA 2S) - None
Oblitesco (AA 2S) - Ravenna/Samerai ? (AO BS/NS)
Theos Arena (AA 2S) - Claw Island (AO NS)
Trinity Oasis (AA 2S) - Sandfall Isle (AO BS)

Jaws and Redwake are more alike to Doom + same spot in the story
and I always thought Frostmill is a complete opposite to Saveria

I don’t really see the resemblance
it’d think that the forest of masts would work better for that location if it wasn’t that deep in the water and if you remove all the ships

Why do i feel it’s still gonna be capped to 70 galleons

So where is this new port located? I assume its in the currently empty spot on sameria?

It’s on sameria?? I always assumed it was a different island altogether

Well that would be way better, didnt really realise it could be another land

Wasnt Port Mistral the next story location, or am I misremembering?

(EDIT: Yep, it is. Its the closest to Keraxe)

Compeletely forgot lmao

Port town on Southwest part of the Nimbus sea, we go there to “check on the situation”

If alignment rewards are drippy as hell, im buying the extra slots

not fully as far as that post says, but the kingdom/town alignment seems to add the wom style quests back to ao hopefully with better gameplay so

We are comming home

I’d really love to see vetex take a quick moment to fix the bronze sea being completely unplayable before working on the next update, that’d be great.
(can’t join because you get flung into the 20th range before the fade from black ends or a variety of other nonsense prevents you from doing anything)

I wonder if Vetex will really have enough time to implement an entirely new PvE system, another island and more story content all within one month. Not to downplay on his efforts, but it does seem a lot to work on for one month. Especially since he also do balancing changes and final bug fixes too. Though, he could reduce the amount he does for the first one.

it’s more important than anything that he’s happy, he should not go into depression to appease a few 12 yr olds

Based on how he talked about it in the QnA it seems the monthly updates are less complete package updates, and more just putting forward whatever’s done, so he’s probably not rushing too much here since it seems his only requirement is to release whatever is done every month.

We will have "bite-sized "updates


I imagine its like this:

Say update releases 3rd of May. And Vetex only done 30% of kingdom aligment, some new island rewards and port Mistral.
That means that in the update we will get:

  • Port Mistral
  • Fully working Part of Aligment, with cut unfinished edges.
    • Random Quests
    • Random NPCs
    • Random Island evets
    • etc what he fully finishes

While what was in working, just is being left in TU.

Alternatively, there can be scenario where he fully implements only Frostmil’s alligment, and that means we will get Port Mistral and ‘reworked’ Frostmil. With update being called “Frostmill Rework”
