Year 8 without Lost Magics

loud incorrect buzzer

You want my hot take?

We might have lost magics if Arcane Oddysey did not have weapons, fighting styles or spirit weapons.

If Vetex did not have to work on weapons and fighting styles and a spirit weapon system then the magic system would be THRICE as refined as what we have today. Which is also the most interesting system of all four.

Hell if we only had mages maybe there would be a niche for rare spells that focus on conjuring weapons and short range combat which would mimic what conjurers and warlocks do.

I think Vetex is chewing more than what he can swallow with AO and its too late to simplify the game.

I think it was worth it.

More options always seem better but we always see what we have and not what we could had.

We’re still gonna get losts eventually though.

Eventually is extremely relative with Vetex work speed but I meant we could have 1 great system than 4 of lesser quality.

Quantity over Quality in this case.

Disagree on the statement on quality but being honest I am a bit bitter on how terribly slow development has been and unbalanced the systems have interacted with the world and one another.

Let’s hope Vetex can keep juggling everything.

YESSS W TAKE KEEP SPITTING MY KING

i agree magic is by far the most developed system out of the four and it’s clear that it’s also vetex’s favourite
i still think these different classes are a good thing but vetex should’ve kept classes focused around magic

True, especially since canonically these fighting style and weapons dudes aren’t really doing that much thats impressive.

But yeah, if WoM had still existed we’d probably have gotten Lost Magics and a better Magic System years ago.

canonically we only hear about mages weapons and fighting style users are completely undeveloped

Magic Fist solos everything else :money_mouth_face:

To be honest the game would be worse if the only thing you could go as was mage

the bwa is only if it hits something, the cast itself is definitely EEEUOP

but if we don’t have strength and weapons, what builds will i hate on then?

i feel like it should have just been similar to AA where you have:
fighting style slot (5 customizable moves)
3 magic slots (8 customizable moves each)
3 weapon slots (2 preset moves each)
