Iirc there were a decent amount of complaints with every WoM update, the community was just smaller so the amount of complainers were smaller as well

24

I seemed to stumble across where their search history is

25

lol I know that guys video

26

The only way you escape it is by parrying their bites (negates to -195 damage if its a pb)

27

Itā€™s not that theyā€™re complaining really just wishing for improvements and wanting to see the game become better than it is now, so basically criticism.

Pretty sure Iā€™ve said this before on another topic but Vetex did take around a month or so off (correct me if Iā€™m wrong). Now while that is justified, I feel like he based update progress as if he was working on them with that extra month or a half a monthā€™s worth of time. I can basically guarantee that if Vetex had one more week he wouldā€™ve touched up on these things a lot more, especially the combat balance changes.

29

People probably felt as if this was a half update.

By the way the following is stuff that I picked up from others people and may or may not be the same opinion as mine.

  • Potions but extremely limited options

  • underwater structures/diving spots but pretty much nothing new to grind/obtain besides shark *

  • hunting weapons

  • shark hunting weapons are apparently underwhelming (I havenā€™t used them personally)

  • easter egg too short

and obviously the bugs and issues liek flying sharks and sharkpolcalpyse.

Well for starters, the game seems to be much laggier and takes way longer to fully load in or join a server at all.

The new content can randomly decide to be inaccessible (guarded by 50 sharks what the fuck).

Heat magics, fighting styles, and some weapon abilities are still hard/impossible to use underwater despite the update being centered around going underwater.

The hunting parts are only good vs white eyes since regular sharks are too numerous and too fast to reliably kill with them.

Diving spot/structure chests are not nearly worth the risk it takes to get to them right now.

I really like the direction this update is going in but it badly needs optimization and adjustments.

i like everything except for shark hunting. that is my only complaint. i fucking hate sharks. i hope they all die.

Sharks.

Yeah, this mirrors the few issues I have with the update, mostly being the following:

  • Huge shark aggro range leading to gang violence

  • Hunting weapons seem to deal ~60 damage for a pure mage using swivel cannons, less effective than normal attacks

  • Shark hunting weapons are really hard to come by, and I think it should only drop ones relevant to your build

Other than that Iā€™m good with most of the other parts of the update, especially making white eyes possible to defeat without dying, and I think the diving spots are a good alternative for sealed chests.

People are saying its a bad update because we hyped up diving spots for a while now and we canā€™t even enjoy them without getting gang banged by a bunch sharks

Donā€™t get me wrong, this new update is decent! Itā€™s just that I myself donā€™t really like diving points because of the stamina drain. Since Vetex added the basics for potions, this update will serve to be a very important foundation in the near future.

37

Stamina drain is tedious, but there are already systems in place to remedy the problem: you get increased stamina recovery from meals when certain ingredients are present.

I dont have the names of exact ingredients and locations from the top of my head, but there is a document floating in the forums which lists them all.

38

Or maybe (hear me out), not everyone is a vetex dickrider? The update just wasnā€™t that good, and a lot of stuff doesnā€™t work. The loot pool from underwater diving is the exact same as sealed chests and normal chests so itā€™s not even really worth it. Itā€™s a decent update but people were probably excepting more after waiting two months .

Also yea the sharks committing gang violence is crazy

Vetex dickrider here, everything that was promised is here, and if the update feels mediocre then expectations were set too high.

The loot pool thing might have something unique planned, and if not there prob will be considering how often this complain is cited. Even if there isnt any unique loot from diving spots, however, the purpose of diving spots at the surface level seems to be just an alternative to the often boring and repetitive treasure charts while making the world feel more full by giving you the option to do stuff while your out on the ocean traveling place to place. So imo its a misinterpretation of the purpose that diving spots serve that creates the problem of uninteresting loot pools.
