The revamped magic effects that we’ve seen so far, which although look bigger and cooler, worry me in terms of how they’ll affect performance. Already, we’ve got magics
like ash and explosion that alone can cause frame drops from some of their spells, and it’s making me wonder if things will get worse in AO.
Idk about what Vetex plans or has already done to certain magic effects, but I’m fairly sure one of the reasons why TGR is happening is to improve performance for players by removing things that caused lag (like the dynamic npcs) and just optimizing stuff as a whole, so unless you have a really low end pc, I don’t think magics like ash and explosion will affect your pc performance that much.
I’m unsure how low end my computer is, but it loses 5 or more frames whenever I’m fighting another liquid magic or explosion user (and I don’t even have that much in the first place). So looking at these big and fancy AO magic effects concerns me.
My frames only drop severely if multiple people are fighting at once, but my frames are generally fine otherwise. The worst you might experience is the occasional frame drop whenever you’re fighting someone with a magic like ash but hopefully it shouldn’t be as bad as it is in WoM for AO. Do you usually make your graphics quality low?
Here are some of the measures I take to improve my performance:
- 30 fps limit using an fps unlocker
- 1 graphics
- deleted textures
- going into task manager and setting the roblox client priority to high
- further graphics reduction in roblox studio
These really only help with performance on a surface level, it seems that my computer just can’t handle the things that goes on when another player and I are just blasting away at each other.
Yeah, my pc usually runs at 50-60 fps unless too much is happening on my screen, but WoM is just laggy in general, so I and a lot of other people would definitely have experienced heavy frame drops as well. I might see if I can ask Tech somehow when I get the chance on how magic effects will affect computer performance

It really is oddly laggy, on other games like GPO or Genshin Impact I can perfectly run 30 fps with no problems whatsoever. Yet on a little continent I struggle to average more than 20 fps.
if you’re worrying about performance then dont, AO’s got you covered
Although I don’t doubt that vetex is working to improve performance, fights in AO may still be pretty damn laggy from the sheer amount of things going on.
But by the time AO does drop, I should have already built my own PC so I think I’ll be fine.
I remember seeing that the particle density would be decreased, a lot of overlapping particles of varying transparency can cause quite a bit of lag and crash computers sometimes, I know this from experience hehe.

My computer possesses explosion magic, especially when I play World of Magic, conveniently at pvp. Here it goes with a self pillar explos-

WoM is just regularly laggy with the sheer amounts of NPCS and AI. AO will probably fix all of your problems. Although getting ethernet is never a bad idea, good for ping issues.
prolly true tbh
we still have months ahead of us for vetex to continue improving optimisations
I plays WoM on average less than 20 fps and some few hundreds ping
Gonna be fun

Yes, and he recently worked on optimizations for certain parts of the map and it worked quite well, he is going to continue to do more optimizations and also the extra magic particles aren’t going to fuck up your computer so don’t worry about that
Because of the 300+ npcs and destruction everywhere, I don’t think you realize how taxing it is to run 300+ NPCs in one server with diverse AI, it’s a lot, and people are also constantly destroying parts of the continent, AO will remove that 300+ NPC AI, so performance should be improved significantly, while enemies will still use AI it won’t be as taxing because Vetex is constantly tweaking it and there won’t be as many NPCs in one server anymore, you’ll be fine
I’ll just say this, WoM is really laggy, and I have a decently good computer, it lags pretty bad sometimes and if I’m lucky I get 70 FPS with an unlocker, but it never sticks, and usually dips down to 40
i know the feeling of never being able to go above 20 fps in a fight 
but ive got no problem with ping so long as i stay in my server region
