haven’t played or interacted with arcane odyssey much since full release came out–i haven’t even tried the dragons yet. anything about the game or community i should know
not much different from before, still a lot of complaining and stuff
dragons are pretty neat :3
also we made this thingy in tl3 chat
optimization update ended up being a moment of hope switched into biggest disappointment of ao history (because of it having high expectations and horrible community management on the day the update was supposed to come out)
game still runs like ass lol
dragons are cool but get repetitive after a while and i cant even fight higher tiered dragons cause of how laggy it is
It was supposed to be 3 separate updates, the initial was the base-line rewrite of systems to prepare for the 2 others, that being StreamingEnabled PROPER implementation and the 3rd being lower latency across the board.
seen as having replay value but in reality you fight them one time and that’s basically it.
This reminds me that Vetex seems to think that replayability = good game when that’s not entirely the case
You know what adds to a game’s replayability? If it’s good, as in it flows nicely and isn’t bloated with 20 magic reskins or crappy immersion/lore/realism mechanics
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was truth, he tends to take game design/programming knowledge at face-value.
AO is littered with bad immersion features, never the good ones.
AO’s story NEEDS to be explained throughout Silas’ point of view - which isn’t bad - but it’s so much more harder to explain what’s going on if you physically need to be there, and as we know; Vetex/Tech isn’t good enough to write in the first place, so putting a limitation hurts it even further..
AO’s realism is skin tanning and dirt accumulation after not even 20 minutes of literally just walking:
dragons update made the game’s frames completely horrible, I could run max graphics with ease before, now I get 20 fps just walking in sameria and lowering graphics does nothing to help, “optimization” update did nothing, ao has been ruined for me for the first time ever because they wanted to add fucking toothless to ao
I - in fact - DESPISE the optimization update, it made the ones with good FPS have even more, the ones with “decent” fps get nothing and even some with bad FPS get worse!
It’s a mistake to call it the optimization update, when in reality, it was just the base-line for the optimizations to come, but oh well, guess we’ll never see those.
For fuck sake, Vetex.

Absolutely, I feel like my performance is pretty much same or slightly worse - but with 1 bazillion more bugs…
