AO is going through some tough times right now. I just wanted to remind people of the reason they’re on the forum in the first place!
The storyline thingermajig
Like I generally have the most fun while playing the storyline
iris
GET OU-
cmon yk you like iris too
when it ended
Sir I don’t even know I that I like women yet
well you do now because iris is not unlikeable
I like obliterating ships with charged iron carronades and carpet bombing them with mortars
the most fun i ever had (other than playing for the first time) was when i was raiding silverhold with my friend
as in
he went in to kill all the navy, and i was responsible for sinking the brigs that came swarming to the island
lets just say i might have gone a bit too far with the trigger happy (look, i had like 5k heavy explodies, and explosive howitsers (bronze didnt exist yet) were op)
word I love raiding silver hold with friends
the magic, it’s great
sea curses
The arcane and maybe the odyssey
i love taking my 300 size nuking Iron leg slot and just activating power mode and full charging smash on some enemies so I go blind and see 400!s all over the place
I also like building cool builds as long as they don’t play too similar to anything I already have
If the only reason you’re on these forums is that I’m here, I’ll just disappear out of spite.
npc dialogue and behavior is pretty cool
The variety of possible builds, I love creating many files to experiment with different builds. I also unironically really enjoy ship combat, really looking forward to the update where people won’t be able to board your ship without first damaging it considerably.
Build variety and PvP (Elysium). Honestly would’ve stopped playing a while ago had not for it.
The lore. I love when a story has required info that you need to know and then like a whole book’s worth of stuff that’s just there for fun. It really makes it more entertaining, especially for an obsessed headcanon-maker like myself
