prob attack calculations, the drop in fps mainly comes from huge attack spam like in castrum
Npcs in ao have a lot more moves to spam than in ar so that could be another factor
in ar its usually “magic blast! flying slash!” while in ao its usually “magic blast! magic explosion! magic beam! fstyle crash! fstyle shot! fstyle rushdown! magic leap!”
The difference is that AR NPCs have two motives: walk towards you, and fire attacks. Boss fights may dodge or something.
i mean its very similar in ao:
“walk at player, use attack, maybe dodge if im strong, randomly parry 2 attacks, repeat”
You can definitely tell a difference though. AR NPCs feel like ants, AO NPCs feel like Coyotes.
yeah
high level ao npcs pose a threat because they actually have combat skill
high level ar npcs pose a threat cause you cant really block + no shift dodge setting

Ar npcs pose a threat because weapon m1 is stupid strong and they’re not bound by stamina
same thing used to happen in ao but bteam fixed it
besides you could get out of it by dashing rapidly several times, which was made easier with shift dodge
Honestly disagree, have you ever fought an ar ag musketeer? Absolutely horrifying, despite only being level 150
You think gun caps are bad? Wait until you see 1k damage headshot spammers that can’t miss
Yeah they’re not too bad until you’re fighting a mage and don’t notice the saburan warrior sneaking up on you and dealing 4k damage in 2 seconds
I don’t like clans
I like clans
thats literally AO’s AI bro 
why do you think the npcs keep digging themselves into holes on fort castrum?
Adventure Story reboot anyone?
The underwater & potions update should’ve been skipped, and only added after the story got to the point of our 3rd awakening or lost magics
Quick hot take:
Anyone who hates PVP is either stupid OR had their experienced ruined by shitty pvpers which is why I think PVP should be opt-in.
Nobody should be saying “I can’t get good enough” because they got stomped by some mf with a 10 kills per hours played ratio

i heavily agree with the second part but some people just aren’t into that sort of stuff
I’d take that or a turned based ao honestly
I second this, like you can only blame Roblox for some many things
