What is a feature that new players wouldn't believe used to exist?

Ah yes I remember stuck at the Sailor Lodge because of the Level lock

At least you had smoke arrows for lagging out low-end players

Yeah, otherwise we would have a higher age requirement listed under the game. But to be true, it wasn’t so terrifying on the clips. It was just blood being more visible on the player and if you get killed by a weapon, you would be cut into two pieces (without any effects of course).

Heads turning and mouths moving

there used to be icebergs in the ocean

Claws used to increase climbing speed
I swear this isn’t a placebo

tp abilities shared no cooldown

substats used to be shit, like if u had a piece of cernyx armor then the substat scalling would fall down badly

Muskets could become assault rifles with enough speed investment

black monkey pattern used to be a thing

you used to be able to hold down m1 to do heavy attack with weapons. Back in the day you also can weapon clash with bandits, dealing no dmg to both party unless you heavy attack against enemy that is using light attack.

The animation was revamped in ao but then the ability to do heavy attack was scrapped, so now it become exclusive m1 animation cycle to colossal weapon.

Also, smoke arrow used to exist, and there is this one bandit clan called “Rising Mist” back in wom that really like to use them. They are very cool.

ah yes, rising mist bandit clan
their best defense is so many smoke bombs you cant even see where they are until they shoot you

shopkeepers used to walk around and wouldnt sell their stuff at night but it was buggy so they often wouldnt sell it during the day either

darksea bandits

Random spawning icebergs in the sea.

Think it’s still a thing, but it has been quite a while since I saw one, while they were pretty common back then.

those are part of the weather system which is coming back in full release
(it was never removed, just bugged)

If you were in combat at any time you could use movement abilities like crash and spiraling fury without any restrictions and fly wherever you wanted at insane speeds

Here’s a good one

Thermo fist used to be meta

And crystal ironleg

Cleg is somewhat viable rn

Kinda funny to imagine post-Full Release that 6th gens might have no idea spirit wasn’t a thing for 2 years and it used to be called “vitality” with the full class being “warden”
