Seems to be a lot of Arcane Odyssey Enjoyers who watched this video, I'll defiantly give it a full review some day, once I'm done with my FFXIV review. If you're someone who hasn't commented yet, I've been told they removed the bandit beating quests and supposably repeatable quests in general, which I'm very much in favor of, as well as added newer content to do to get gear.

to clear up some of your negatives on AO. Lack of content is due to it being early access(not a full release cause Vetex knows he cant call it that). Dead servers because your in Nimbus sea which is incomplete with only a couple Islands and one main hub which can easily result in people farming other players(also the lag generated by a bunch of people with big AOE's on one island fighting each other at the same time is not gonna be good). The bosses in my opinion are ok tho I do agree the jump between the bronze sea final boss and every boss before him is immense but bosses do have attack patterns that are easy to read, the only problem is that boss fights are easier with magic while if your using fighting styles your gonna be in a world of hurt.

to be more accurate, Arcane Reborn is the unofficial remake of Arcane Adventures, Arcane Odyssey is the true successor of Arcane Adventures not Reborn since one game is unfortunately discontinued due to a Roblox update breaking the game entirely and the other is a remake NOT made by Vetex. I'm hoping that AO does not suffer the same fate as AA due to a game breaking update on the platform.

The main difference that World Zero and Arcane Odyssey has against Vesteria is that there is an actual goal in AO and WZ, meanwhile in Vesteria... When I first played it I was literally clueless on how to get gear, where to even FIND enemies and where to get quests. I had to go and search through KZread just to figure out how to play, which is probably why it isn't as popular as other MMORPG's as there isn't really an endgame goal.

The unbalanced bosses, I can agree with when it comes to Calvus as the bosses before are nothing like him. The big map stuff, just get a better boat. The NPC AI actually isn't bad at all, there's not much more you can do with it; they serve their purpose. Lack of content is also a bad argument because there's plenty. You go from talking about the many different magics to then saying "oh lack of content", all those magics and the content you can get spanning from boats to weapons to your own characters is a massive amount of content for a pre-full release game. The one poor judgement I really dislike though is the dead servers thing. Nimbus sea is meant to have a smaller server size for development reasons which will be expanded in future. Any other rare instance of landing in a dead Bronze sea server is just Roblox being Roblox. Since I'm making all these counterpoints though, I will say the balancing between classes could be much better.

I would like to interject my argument by saying: Arcane Odyssey lacks meaningful content. By the time you've reached endgame or heck even mid game, you've ran out of things to do. I know people will start to say: oh do exploration, fishing, treasure chart, diving, etc. All of those things are built so terribly it is boring. The gameplay loop is the same, you go around, jump into a random place, collect a few chests and leave. Every side gameplay mechanic is built kinda lackluster. Fishing is a borefest, treasure charts are horrible and requires an external tool (something that you should not have when playing a game, stop making the argument of looking up the wiki, its stupid), diving points which are unique until you realize the stamina system is built stupid and you die before you reach the surface. But "oh make potions", why do I need to make potions just to do a basic task in the game? Then theres dark seas which is fun for 2 minutes until you realize the countless problems with it. Randomly getting oneshot by lighting, atlantean ships, falling into water and drowning (seriously my gripe with the stamina system is is immense), falling into water and being eaten by a shark, slightly touching lava and vaporizing, islands being terribly far away... there are so many minor inconveniences and hinderances that stops you from enjoying it. "But oh get good or something", brother I want to enjoy the game as it is, I dont want something outside of my control to affect how I play. It is stupid that I just randomly die out of nowhere, it is not a fair mechanic. The only gameplay mechanic that I have enjoyed in Arcane Odyssey is the naval warfare system, up until they added mortars which game NPCs the ability to sink your ship instantly out of nowhere. In the end, I like AO, but there are just so many things that holds it back from reaching its potential. And the fact that people excuse vetex by saying its an Early Access doesnt fix the fact that all of the features he has implemented are flawed and unfun to play with. I very much hope that Vetex will fix many of these issues, but I doubt it would happen honestly.

Have you every tried to explore the dark sea in AO? Yes, it is explorable. You Just need a relly good boat.

Pretty good and insightful video. As a long time Arcane Odyssey player (~315 hours on main file) and an experienced Vesteria player I have some stuff to say. The problems you stated with Vesteria were spot on but with Arcane Odyssey I'll have to disagree on some things. Most the problems with the game actually come from gameplay, visual clutter and optimization. The Dark Sea is extremely visually cluttered (although still fun), fights are hard to track due to magics being flashy and the optimization is... bleh... The inventory system is by far the least optimized part of the entire game and you have to keep in mind the game loads every NPC ship on the game offscreen and that's not even the worst optimized part of the game. On the gameplay side of problems -- Vetex for some reason listens to a group of amateur "game balancers" with a google doc on balancing suggestions that are almost always implemented and end up breaking the game one way or another. (For example, Shadow and Acid mages have been the forefront of the meta for literally months at this point despite other classes shifting wildly and jumping around. They also have the tendency to overbuff and overnerf a ton. Berserker is dead in the water right now and Warrior jumped from quite literally the worst class to the 2nd best class behind Mage) Your idea of the stat system in AO is actually a huge misconception -- the main idea of the class stats in AO are actually just to unlock more skills. The main stats come from the gear building which is a big thing about the game that keeps a lot of people (me included) reeled in, since there is no single best armor and thus creates infinite combos for your specific playstyle. The game gives you freedom to play how you like. For a casual playerbase this video is an amazing introductory look into the basic mechanics of the MMORPGs of Roblox, states it all how it is in terms of an experience geared towards someone who doesn't wanna sink in too much time, but for people who are looking into playing a ton this video misses the mark on Arcane Odyssey's review.

one gripe i have with the end where he says "you could be waiting a whole year for a new update" which i have no idea where you got that from since arcane oddessy has had 3 updates in the around a year its been out and is switching to a monthly update thing. but other then that i agree the dificulty curb for the bosses was a bit too fast, i also feel like the dead servers thing is kinda a non isue since you can just switch servers using the menu takes like 60 seconds. other then that i pretty much agree with most the points you make.

The only reason why AO has such a lack of content if I remember correctly is because Vetex was pressured into releasing the game early and incomplete. Vetex still plans to finish the Nimbus Sea, add the Vimir Sea and possibly much more so let him cook!

Arcane odyssey literaly HAS THE ONE OF THE best lore ever since arcan adventures

You need stat points in AO because they determine your class/build. The armour and weapon stats are there to boost certain attributes of attacks. Having them separate is actually quite easy to understand and I would say its even efficient.

Just explaining some stuff with the games Vesteria and World 0. Vesteria used to be a very big/active game with an average of 1.5k+ people on it at a time. I used to play it a lot, and it was my favourite game on roblox for a whole year and almost the only thing I did play. But then, the devs started to promise updates and things that didn't ever happen which got people a little mad. Then the lack of updates made player counts drop. At the same time, the larger KZreadrs such as some of the Revins (Major clan in the game) were quitting and soon after, one of the Devs was kicked out of the dev team. This dev (We'll call him nice dev cos I don't want to spread names incase I get anything wrong) who was kicked out streamed the game weekly and brought an extra 100 or so people on just for his stream and he was popular. He then suggested something to berreza about another dev being kicked out due to lack of activity (something like that idk the full thing since I don't have access to their DM's), but then berreza seemed to not like the idea and kicked our nice dev out. This nice dev was also friends with possibly the biggest Vesteria KZreadr at the time, and so he also left. Almost a day later after our nice dev was kicked out, Berreza made a post in the Discord server trying to spite our nice dev saying "idk why we removed variants" (A thing many people wanted to add back to the game). The only problem was, variants were agreed upon to be removed, and the screenshot of the variants folder's removal, was of our nice dev's name removing it. So essentially, he was just trying to start beef for no reason which put many people including me off the game entirely. Luckily, our nice dev was actually forming connections with devs at World 0, and so the moment he was kicked out of the Vesteria team, he joined the World 0 team. Now I don't play World 0, but I've seen he's still an active dev their which is nice. This information is everything I've seen from my perspective of things, I did not research anything for this, this is a general view from the community

I First started playing ROBLOX because of Dinosaur Simulator, i liked dinosaurs a lot and still do. Anyways it was 2014 and DS was the only thing i played until i started watching anime and saw Sword Art Online... young me loved it, and found an parody game called Sword Burst Online, i've been playing since then, i played SB1, SB2 and i'm playing SB3 now, but its kinda sad SB3 is VERY simple, and a lot of things from the previous games were scraped, honestly the game is... pretty simple... get boss drops upgrade 10 times only to throw it away later for another drop and upgrade it... it's a mindless mob beater, but i still like it.

as a AO enjoyer, i would like to say that it does only have one dev, being vetex, while being a con(as old updates took months) in the time it takes for full updates, it kinda shows that the same amount of love will be put into all the parts of the game, and when i say one dev, i mean in coding, as vetex does outsource models and art i believe, most definitely music

wow, you should keep posting roblox review videos, it's really working out

I just enjoy coming back every now and then to vesteria for a sense of nostalgia for when i played it in beta and then grind it for a couple days to catch up

I don't really like playing MMORPG or maybe I haven't found one but I really enjoyed Arcane Odyssey! when I discovered it I was stuck in being bored in Roblox open world games that is always fun at the start and then the gameplay will be just boring grinding and vice verse. This game actually makes grinding and leveling up really fun! I played on this for HOURS and I really like the story and stuff! it is also fun exploring new islands and finding stuff! it is actually the first time I enjoyed that time of gameplay HSAHSAH so this game will have a special space in my heart

Love the video, and the eplanations for your feelings on the games! I would like to throw my two cents in for the three games. In AO: On the unbalanced bosses, I would like to point out that, yes, Calvus is a downright pain. However, in my experience, I feel more annoyed at Elius' boss fight due to the rain. That rain, even with my pc being good (and lowering roblox graphics settings), always leaves me lagging so much. It no longer feels like a challenge of a boss, and more like a slog. At least with Calvus, I know it is my skill that is being put to the test (and needing a friend to help). With the dead servers, I more prefer it for my higher level, since there is usually less lag in the Bronze sea. When in the Nimbus sea, I feel the lower player count also takes into account the smaller sea (I am not being accurate, but the Nimbus sea is literally less than half the size of the Bronze sea). World Zero: I have played it for a while (about half a year before dropping it due to feeling drained), but I feel it is worse than Vesteria. This feeling mostly comes from the fact that when I played it, the objectives were not so easy to get through, especially after world 1, since, when I played it, there was no pathfinding. If this has changed, I can understand the difference in opinion. Vesteria: I totally agree on the game being drastically different. I have not played in the Beta, but just when it publicly released I played it. The starter area is so hard to navigate, since it changes every month (exaggerating, yes, but that is how I feel). I would say the late game is fun, but only if you play with friends. Many funny moments came out when we were challenging late-game bosses, and all of us would die instantly (revived soon after). One other thing, I am more angered by the rng element in the game, especially due to a recent event (Lunar New Year), where it was luck to get any items from the event.

All I ever got from the tickets were the coins (which I used to boost my luck on subsequent tickets), and I opened somewhere close to 60 tickets.

Btw the nimbus sea servers barely has people because they’re really low like on release it was like 5 or 4 but now buffed into 8 Going back to bronze has a bunch of servers being the same

AO AI is hood when it comes to the bosses and strong NPCs, but yeah the AI on normal enemies is very non-existent

Im a vesterian player and i still play the game. Back when i first played it, the start was actually pretty fun. Back then, there were no p2w so u had to lvl 10 for a class. It was very fun to figure out what to do and how to play. But now i see how boring the start is. It barely has any hints and guides. When i made a second and third slot, they changed mushtown (the starting area) at least 4 times, and it was very confusing. Like where was everything? Although now the early game has improved a bit (slightly due to content for mushtown), its still bored. However during mid game, the questing and dungeons part of the game was very fun. The game does not have many repeat quests, but has many one time quests and questlines. It is not required to do quests to progress, which was which i took soo long to max lvl. Most of the good quests are lvl 20-30, which requires u to explore the world. Scrolling system is basically gambling, which turns the endgame into a grindfest, and now is actually gambling because they added scrolls to the etyhr store (premium store). The bosses are fun to kill. But the player base (or whats left of it) is somewhat toxic (idk but like maybe the sweaty ones). The classes and subclasses, if u ever get to them, are very fun to play. The problem with vesteria in its current state, is that people get too bored at the start. They dont know thats theres more to this game then just killing a couple shrooms. Also lack of content for endgame. And p2w. The main reason for why this game is soo dead is thanks to its owner (bereza), who back then refused to listen to the community, leading to its death. Now however, things have changed, though i don't think there are many to listen to anyways. I still miss those old times of innocently play this game.

Arcane Odyssey stats system is super customizable imo, you are not forced to choose a class but you build one yourself.. the reason for stats points being set similarly among many players is simply the requirements for certain skills (scrolls, weapons, innate techniques…)

As for the issue with dead servers: this was intentional by vetex. In the second sea, since there was a new story, vetex didnt want like 10 players doing the same quest objective as it would ruin the immersion in the game. Other players may also interrupt players who are doing the story, which also breaks the immersion of the story. So as a solution, they made the server player cap lower so that the new story can feel fresh and actually immerse you in it.

4:06 its in early access they released a new update taht made the game a bit longer dark sea and continued the story a bit but its in early access its not gonna be super long and 4:17 its like that cus the nimbus sea is much smaller so player count is smaller then its not gonna be super many players cus if it was its gonna be chaos 4:29 nope lvl requierments is removed exept the one that goes to nimbus sea so u dont need to lvl up but u should and the game removed repeatable quests btw

"unbalanced bosses" ok thats just skill issue LOL "lack of content" early access... "bandit beating" level gaps have been removed, theres enough levelling methods now great vid

Not really a max player issue, if you look towards the beginning of the ao section where im leveling a bit, you can see theres only a few people in the server. Fair point that you can switch servers easily but it should be on the dev to make it more apparent to players or to find a way to direct players to more populated servers.

@@SlavMartien Trust me, at the beginning of the game being in peace isn't that bad... after you start getting some fame (around 30k but even less sometimes) you're gonna start getting jumped by criminal and assassin players that want to raise their negative fame (bounty). Fame is cosmetic for players past the "Hero" and "Villain" titles, but if you have a clan the more fame the clan has the bigger its bank capacity is and the more galleons you can keep in it without risking to lose them if you die. Thankfully most "Evil" players will leave low fame and low levels alone.

I've been a long time player of arcane odyssey and i got a few things to say about your review, which is a pretty fair one. about the unbalanced bosses, yeah some of them do have insane difficulty spikes, especially when i see a ton of messages in discord asking for help on the same two bosses that every new player struggle on. they could use some work to make them a little more beginner friendly but i think theyre fair enough when you think about these bosses like souls-like bosses or something close to that; its about the learning process. about that "classic WoW moment", that is not the case anymore. with the recent update, main story quests are no longer level locked as there are other methods to leveling which btw, also serve as your side content. while granted some of them may not be long term fun engaging side content, theres also the dark sea, which is the focus of by far the biggest side content update ever so far in AO. theres also pvp and clans, but personally i prefer grinding the items that players like to use in pvp as my form of engagement in ao (just personal taste for me). About the dead servers point, you showed a nimbus sea playerlist. i should tell you that nimbus server sizes are smaller than bronze sea's (8 max in nimbus and 14 in bronze). and while its true that sometimes you may get put into a deader server sometimes, the servers will fill up eventually. or alternatively you can go back to the main menu and view the server list and pick an optimal one for you, which can be sorted by region and players. servers also tend to be smaller on a newer sea's release to allow players to experience the story first before the pvp chaos unfolds by bigger servers. nimbus sea's player cap was smaller on initial release with 5 players max, only being increased on the easter event update. bronze sea did the same thing when ao initially launched to the public. a little thing about the big map, small boat. there is a forced tutorial quest at the end of the frostmill arc which forces you to buy a sailboat. i personally dont find this problem to be a big deal since you can just start selling all the junk you have to the nearest vendor and/or grind for the galleons required to buy the brig. galleons are pretty easy to farm. there are also ways for you to obtain ship parts to upgrade your ship and make it go faster one more thing about your points made is that not all of the updates were solid. the initial nimbus sea release update is probably regarded as one of the worst updates of ao. for the 5 months of wait from the dark sea update, you really only get about approximately 10-25 minutes worth of additional story content if youre not struggling too hard on the progression (not to mention the infamous unintentional bug, now patched, that wiped a ton of rare weapons from players' inventories). though to be fair on vetex's part, he says that about half of those 5 months were spent fighting bugs on his bugs that keep springing up from roblox's changes. future updates probably wont be as solid as the preceding updates either as vetex, the sole dev of AO, will be focusing on monthly updates, meaning not as much content in each future update but at least more consistent updates (who knows, maybe it might be a good thing or maybe not). overall, i did enjoy your review of arcane odyssey and ill be looking forward to your 2nd review of AO. edit: i watched further into your entire video into the vesteria part. the reason why AO has that stat point investment feature is what determines your play style, from magic, fighting styles, weapons, (and eventually in a future update, spirit weapons) or a mix of the above. in other words, the stat feature determines your class.

Dead servers are not at all an issue You can just go to the server list and find a server you like Also, bandit-beating quests were removed in the last update, since to level up people can just do diving spots, cargo runs, side quests etc. And yes, there is little content, hence the "Early access", but you can still do a ton of stuff, bounty-hunting, treasure charts, titles, Dark sea, the list goes on

I remember playing Vesteria when it was free on weekends. The starting cutscene was amazing and immediately got me invested. The mushroom forest was also really fun to explore and beating the occasional elites with around 10 people was very satisfying. Unfortunately, after beta, my data was wiped. I expected to see the starting cutscene again but I was disappointed because it got removed. The mushroom forest was still the same but with a lot less players making it feel empty and hollow. The game was still very good and it was fun exploring the massive world but I was really mad when the best armour for my class required me to beat many people in the colosseum. Normally this would be fine but some classes are so op that they can literally one shot and have near infinite healing capabilities. I quit the game and came back a few years later and started a new play through. I had mixed feelings about the new spawn but they were mostly negative. Overall, there are many things that I wish they would fix and balance but after years of waiting, there was still no news.

I wish you mentioned Voxlblade (new one) because it’s one of my favorite Roblox games of all time and it’s an RPG game. It has an AMAZING soundtrack

Btw arcane odyssey stat points have nothing to due with your damage output or anything like it. It’s just to obtain your build like conjurer or mage

The scroll system im talkng about is basically when you apply a scroll, it does just that, it applies it, but their stats are mediocre compared to cursed scrolls which are needed for basically everything, trading, boss raids etc. but here's the catch, once you use these scrolls they have a 30-80% chance of destroying the weapon, and so if you had perfect substats on a weapon, you'd have to risk it for it to be viable, and as you can see, i lost.

Vesteria scrolled system is horrifically flawed. Success only cross from luck or because you are rich and nothing more. The power gap in this game has become so bad it’s not even funny

the nimbus sea servers as of right now can only hold 5 players due to nimbus sea being in its very very early stages

You ever play starscape?

Arcane Odyssey has a stat point system because of the awakening system in place in the game. Some weapons are strength + weapon stat based while other rare magic scrolls need higher magic stats. There is a point to the system unlike other bandit beaters.

W video, earned a sub. Though... arcane odyssey just straight up removed the level locks (except for the one for the awakening) and they got rid of repeatable quests

3:50 Nah, its really hard if you play just like this: attack, attack, attack You shoukd play not by just impulse, but also strategy. The boats arent slow, you that didnt customized it to be fast. Also, W video.

4:04 i have 140 h on game and i still dont have best items coz of dark sea 💀

Vesteria was one of the best Roblox MMOs I used to play but as said in this video, it fell off pretty hard. Played it back in 2021 and I remembered it being so lively and since I'm into endless grinding, I honestly don't mind the tedious level up system. Had a lot of fun for about a year and that was when things took a rough turn. Really bad management I'd say, too frequent changes, and over time I just felt like I just can't accomplish much as the endgame for most people I'd imagine is to get the best gear possible which is heavily rng dependent.

Arcane Odyssey is good, but it’s not the first, I really liked the first game, but the way I get chained and forced to, SLOWLY WALK for 5 minutes to continue the story is a pain, also after a while the grind is misery after updates, moment they added jewel crafting got me suffering after I maxed out 3 slots already…

it is not a bandit beating game when theres multiple ways you can level up like doing cargo runs, sinking ships, treasure charts, cooking and more.

Good vid. For me arcane odyssey is like the only reason i still have roblox downloaded on my laptop lol, i wish he had more money to hire more devs cause scripting, debugging and doing most of the building alone has to be hell.

I played Vesteria in the past, it was a lot of fun to spend hours grinding with friends, I have good memories.

you should cover deepwoken, btw you were in nimbus sea and the max player cap in nimbus is extremely low for maintenance testing

Arcane odyssey also has a predecessor so I think that boosted it's popularity ig

You should try out fantastic frontier, a unique experience to be sure

My 2 favourite Roblox RPG games on the thumbnail 🥶

UNDERATED!

about arcane odyssey ai they are getting a rework so they will be more similar to his last game's ai and towns gonna feel more alive

Nice video, just two things I want to say for Arcane Odyssey: -Newest update removed the level cap for the story line, except for the first awakening. But you should be very close or more than level 117 at that point -Bro I swear to god Calvus is really easy if you just parry his VERY telegraphed attacks 😭😭😭

the head serve for arcane was because u were in the nimbus sea, at the time u made this the server max player count was like 5

not saying that this is a bad thing, but you talk like my favorite yter Eclipse! loved the video man

They did actually remove level requirements for beating story, fought calvos at level 70 something, it was hard, but I won

Can you try deepwoken and make a video about it?

What happened to go vesteria?

Bro u hella underrated fr

"it's early access" mfs when full release comes out and there's still no content

Contrary to what was said about Arcane Odyssey's dead servers, I like joining one as I dislike pvp (no skill+lag) and one of the best ways to avoid getting into fights is to not deal with players at all. I get to farm and level up in peace and I like that

Arcane odyssey is not a bandit beater there are a lot of things to do that are not fighting, almost all of the quests arent fighting quests, and u just chose to kill bandits but the game isnt a bandit beater. The stat sistem in Arcane odyssey is to unlock skills, the stats do not give u buffs it only unlock skills

WHAT GAME IS THIS 0:39

you should try voxlblade it very good game the only problem is that you gonna need to open the game trello alot to make a build and havent update the main story since release only adding new dungeon,armor,etc which is kinda funny

I played it a while ago, it's not exactly a bad game but it's defiantly one that could use some polish. Or like, a lot of polish

In the nimbus sea of arcane odyssey it is not a dead server it made it like that so people could do the story without being spawn killed over and over.

I've had 1.2k hours in Arcane odyssey, and another thing that causes people to stop playing is also the god awful balancing, and the optimisation, the lack of content and whatnot is... ehhh, i mean its a solo dev, but regardless, the balancing and optimisation are the main issues

That’s not a dead server in the nimbus sea they did that on purpose to prevent spawn killers

For Unbalanced Bosses, it can be dependent on your skill, Lord Elius teaches you to take advantage of the time using their skills/abilities, wait before attacking since the boss can make you miss since they can dash. Learn how to parry (for god's sake PARRY), etc. So you can handle the future bosses. For the big map, its alright, just get a better boat/upgrade your ship to use better sail material. NPCs are there either for the stores or the lore, otherwise they might be future side quests. There's alot of content to be seen here, even on your ship you have a crew, specialized crew members, and quartermasters. There are Treasure Maps, Underwater Structures for Loot, Sinking Pirate/Assassin/Navy ships for chests (Difficulty may vary). Main Quests, Side Quests, Items for Potion Brewing... you get the point. There is atleast something/someone you can interact with in almost every island in the game. Nimbus Sea Servers are designed to be small so players can have an easier time leveling up without the intervention of other players (you can ask someone for help via messages in one of the UI). Vetex has made it so that there isnt a level requirement to do a quest, only recommended (there is a ! in the Quest tab if there is a recommended level to progress)

I remember playing vesteria and trying to defeat all the enemies from that cut scene until chad spawn Edit: I'm currently playing voxlblade and it's quite good

If you're wondering why AO doesn't get updates very often, it is because Vetex is a solo dev, and is the only person that works on the game. He will sometimes accept help from others, though it is not usually large coding or development things.

Bro amazing video I watched the whole thing. I honestly agree with all of your opinions though they’ve improved a lot of the flaws in arcane odyssey such as level gaps and also the dead servers were because the servers were set to like 5 players for a bit so people wouldn’t get ganked in the new update. Now with vesteria I’m sad to say that I agree with your opinion the games long gone unless a miracle happens. Anyways great video you’ve earned a sub! Edit: Vesteria Isn’t long gone but it’s looking to go that way because many players have lost hope. However, I don’t think that the game doesn’t have a chance at all because the devs are working hard to put out a new dungeon right now which is much different then other devs when they see their game decline in playerbase.

@@SlavMartien I mean, let's be fair here, you can reset your stats, although you only get 1 free reset per slot. I do agree that most games with stat point systems had me feeling like I had to minmax, but I don't really feel that with AO, as the stats given through the points themselves are negligible, and it's mostly based on the items you have on, although some builds are stupidly op, that's true. Imo, if they found a way to replace the stat point system in a way that wouldn't ruin pre-existing slots, and would still allow for the variety it currently allows for, it could work better, but I personally can't see a feasible way to do that at the moment, they'd practically have to rebuild the game from zero (vetex already tried messing with the leveling system, and it resulted in a bug where weapons were getting removed if you unequipped them/had them in your inventory (it's also a recent bug, as it happened for around the first hour or so of the Nimbus sea coming out.) All of that put aside, I do generally agree that there are many places where AO could be improved, the point system being one of them, although from my personal experience, aside from the really broken builds, the game is generally balanced with its pvp, as I've soloed through it all and had zero issues. Thank you for the discourse, it was a pleasure to hear the other side of the argument.
