Umm are you not allowed to respawn at ur brig at Fort CAstrum?
yes
leave my island for two minutes to help a new player beat elius and the same guy that was attacking the last island i claimed starts to go after this one
Evanderâs ship spawned right on top of me
Despite not having a bounty, he was still mad at me.
I figured âMan, I can solo this lvl 100 loserâ, but he is stronger than he lets on, good grief. I gottem though! That was fun!

This shit got me laughing so fucking hard

Not sure if itâs been mentioned, but farms donât work after you load a clan save
So THATâS what happened.
Makes sense.
This update was way overhyped by its trailer to be honest. It isnât really anything special since it focuses on the MMO part of the ORPG that is AO.
Also, fuck you Meepy18 for killing me when I was exploring (and being attacked by NPCs), that killed literally all of my fun and it ruined the update for me.
I feel like the trailer undersold it. The only fun part was made out to be PvP
I wish for the âBronze Seaâ stuff weâd get a direction. Like from the center of the Bronze Sea, Evander was last sighted âSoutheast in the Bronze Seaâ
thatâs needed so much, heâs often just bugged behind some random Island on the corner of the map.
I donât think he should sail to some one person either, instead maybe he should have an area that he prefers to stick in (and if a high bounty person enters this area, he could follow them until they engage or just leave the area)
Condition ideas:
- If no player that meets the bounty and notoriety condition. Evander will sail around Wind Row Island (confirmed bandits being there). It could also be like, 3 different islands, so we know where Evander is if he isnât at one or two of the spots.
- If a player that meets the requirements is present, then theyâll spawn nearby after 5 minutes. However, if they leave, theyâll automatically path find back to Wind Row Island.
- If they remain in a singular spot (within an area), theyâll disappear and teleport near back to Wind Row Island. If they are in combat, this is disabled.

Lemme give my actual opinion now I have properly experienced it:
Bugs
As per every update, I encountered a variety of bugs already in the update, some of which completely fucked me over (not being able to eat, not being able to climb onto my ship), but at least there wasnt any gamebreaking bugs that wiped everyones inventory or something so thats good
Islands
The new islands are some of the best, if not THE best in the game so far, especially Makrinaos which I wont spoil, but the secrets are very juicy. We got a pretty nice amount of lore from other places aswell which was cool to see.
Building
Ive seen some people complain about building being locked behind clans, which is true, but since im in a clan its not really my problem. Ive had fun so far but havenât got too far into it yet since farms are a little broken at the moment. I also noticed that all the decorations that are meant to emit light, dont actually emit light⌠so all interiors are kinda dark which i hope gets fixed
Fort Castrum
Probably the most controversial feature at the minute due to the insane lag and difficulty. While I havenât actually been able to get past wave 4 yet, it is a super fun feature that when nerfed will be a favourite of many im sure
Minibosses
The new minibosses are all pretty cool, I havent yet fought Valerii but ive seen what the fight looks like at least. Evander is fodder but still pretty fun, Kalliste is kinda easy to cheese since magma wont work underwater, Amelia is very difficult to do solo but gravity is cool, its gimmick isnt what I expected but it still works well
Overall
Probably the best update we have gotten so far, at least for me. Non clanners may disagree but I dont care. Admittedly the competition for best update isnt too great, with the only valid competitor being the ds update which everyone has gotten bored of by now. I have no doubt full release will surpass empires in terms of quality and quantity of new content, but we are wayyyyy out from that cuz its gonna take like 8 months⌠morock give me strength

Generally I agree. I think this is a really good update. One thing I see is people treating it as grindy but holy hell calm down the update released yesterday you have 7 months to finish this content. New islands are fantastic.
what is it?
Pardon?
Heâs asking what the ironfang theme is
