Wat is the reason for swim speed to be disabled during combat?
Its just makes running harder for pvers, does Vetex want to make pve player experience miserable?
Bold to assume that PvE players even bother to interact with the other players
yes, end of the story.

quite apparently yes.
frankly it feels like vetex is actively trying to drive off the non-competitive side of the community by making the gameplay for them as awful as possible.
Fishing will never be improved, essence will never be improved, its all clan and leaderboard bullshit now, that’s what the game’s being made for.
Same guy who wrote the PvP rant, by the way.
I think I’m exclusively hopping on AO for events from here on.
This shit sucks.

Rants about the pvp community then proceeds to gut the pve community, classical vetex
Or rather, moochezz is responsible for the change, pull him out of the kitchen at once

Is he just adding stuff for pvpers so they don’t need to complain a lot?
If Vetex cared for the health and safety of his players, he would make it not count as being in combat until you hit somebody, not just from getting hit.

“done by moochezz at the request of the balancing team” y’all gotta stop strawmanning this one poor guy

vetex should add pve and pvp tags
in pve, swim speed should be 100%. in pvp, swim speed should be 50% and the lower your health is, the less it works meaning you can run but you decide it now.
You just summed up my favourite book series
Jokes aside, yeah, it does kinda feel like there’s too much incentive to be a competitive player while those who aren’t get absolutely nothing, and the sweats who just go around starting fights seem to think everyone is competitive because that’s the part of the game that is focused on the most by the devs.

Multiple kinds of in-combat values would surely help.
PvE would have reduced penalties (if any at all) and have less of the PvP balance
PvP - Victim would have reduced penalties but let you run away
PvP - Attacker would be like it is now
PvP - Defendant would have reduced penalties

@Meta Can you add different combat tags for PvE & PvP to the trello so shit like this doesnt happen? People who dive will now lose all their mobility if they get hit by a shark
Actually, the bteam knows shit about programming
Moochezz accepted himself to be a vessel
He’s still guilty
what are you saying
No theyve been wanting it since 2023 but vetogames
I assume this is pve related because otherwise people can just never hit the attacker back and just log
Adding into this, make it so that pve tags don’t make you combat log
lmao
