    For context, the developer, Vetex, is an indie who started quite long ago and made a relatively popular game called Arcane Adventures. However due to Roblox system updates the game became corrupted and had to be scrapped. Afterwards he made an open-world called World of Magic with more improvement on the systems. One day two years ago he had a shower thought of being unsatisfied with WoM and decided to revamp the entire game to include the sailing and storyline elements of AA and hence started working on Arcane Odyssey. Vetex basically almost ran out of money to pay his taxes and released AO in febuary

      For me it’s 100% the Assassin’s Creed inspiration it pulls from. Even though the Aesir storyline is basically non existent you’re allowed to see the scope of what is planned for this game, not just the dev’s word.
      Also as someone who played the original back when it first came out to when it shut down, knowing the content that was cut for the rerelease because Vetex wasn’t satisfied with it gives me hope this game has a bright future.

    I understand what you mean with the snow wizard having AOE attacks that are impossible to dodge, and I think that was put there to encourage blocking and parrying for new players. An easy way to parry his attacks is to press the block button right as he says the name of his magic attack above his head. Other enemies have harder attacks to parry but I think this enemy was designed to get you used to parrying and blocking attacks later in the game.

      If the hot key for blocking could be interchange with F, that’d be great. Reaching over to tap G is very uncomfortable. And even so, after a successful parry you can’t attack right after anyways. It’s either parry and run to heal, or don’t parry and just dodge their attacks, which I find works better

    This. This is a proper way to balance the good and bad.

I've been playing vetex's series for some time, and got used to the keybinds assigned to us, but once this game dropped some of my friends played it with me, and they definitely had issues with the keybinds. also, literally everyone dashed off cirrus island at least once. i know ive done it at least 4 times. and for the level locks, i agree that they're annoying as hell, especially once you start making more slots, as it just wastes your time for no reason. and as for the inspirations, yes, the game did take inspiration from a lot of games, botw being one of them, but theres a lot of inspiration from assassin's creed, as you can see on the trello.

    making your blast hit multiple times has its benefits. if u only fire once you may miss it but if you crank up the shots then you have 19 other projectiles coming their way. more projectiles are especially good with light magic (the one that you were using) because it blinds targets more than if there was only 1 projectile

      The more blasts you put, the more vulnerable you may be, since you are locked in place as you fire the blasts one by one, you could easily get punished while doing this. Also, the more blasts you have, the less damage each blasts does, though you can still do significant damage if you manage to hit your target with most of your blasts.

    The lack of fast travel of any sort to Cirrus from the Step Stones really sucks, although I get more frustrated at terrain destruction. Spells don't destroy much terrain, so if you fight a boss for a while you can end up with tons of potholes that you and the boss get stuck in. Makes landing spells and dodging frustrating at times. Also, something that tells you how much damage your spells do in the editor would be pretty nice. Lastly, I'm glad you agree with me on Arish Vista. He has WAY TOO MUCH spam.

    In the prequel to this game, going to the sky island was literally a thing that occurred every few minutes that would essentially launch you to the sky islands. Also the sky island part was the reason why I changed to shift to dodge. I like it like that. When it came to that dueling fight, I found it much easier the second time around because I had become much more skilled at the game. You will probably feel the same the more you play you become more skilled and those fights aren't an issue for you.

    Right now, almost all of the level locks have been removed, except for 1 in the late game which i wont spoil. The level 40 quest after talking to ren back at the bottom, it now teleports you back up, so you don't have to climb the mountain manually again. The cutscene glitch has been patched so the game wont freeze in cutscenes. Also Arish Vista is just a poorly made fight, still hasn't been fixed and gives less exp than the goddamn, ice smugglers quest. Most of the boss fights after Iris, takes a massive jump in difficulty with the next fights, and while they do require a bunch of skill, the armor and enchants and player help from others will definitely make it easier.

    Yay! I’m glad you ended up playing it, I personally enjoy it a lot.
    Oh yeah, arcane odyssey was also made by just *one* person.
    Another note from stuff in the video, many things on the map change over the course of the game. It’s not just enzinor joining your crew.
    For the thing about rebinding keys, it is *early access* and after endless complaints they seem to be adding keybinds in the menu, although it may be difficult due to the spell system.
    (It’s been so long… keybinds do not appear to be coming…)
    For the note of the food system, it can actually be very useful. It’s not meant to necessarily be “Keep yourself alive with hunger” it’s more meant to be a buff, with the hunger to incentivize using the system. You can get massively increased regeneration and lowered stamina use with food, it’s very good. (fyi the food system working like this was intentional, by the sole dev vetex)
    On the topic of the level lock he is aware that frostmill is the grindiest part of the game and is working to fix it, same with cirrus. It’s early access, and there is a deficit in quests but hopefully there will be enough to justify the lock. Right now however nobody ever goes back and trains, even after being “destroyed” by the boss as you said.
    Another note for “poorly tested” this game was tested by a full team for 3 years, throughout the entirely development and each tester played through the full thing around 5 times.
    For Ren, everyone makes fun of it. He should have moved up the stepstones in all honesty. I don’t know how it got through.
    TLDR: It’s early access, things are subject to change for a reason. You were mostly right, though.The sole dev is working on 90% of the issues mentioned.

    I would recommend looking at the Trello and researching Awakenings. It's a pretty important decision that you need to make by level 80 while you can still reset stats. Awakenings completely change how you play the game and the Awakening you get is based on your stat spread. Also, everyone will tell you this, but Vitality sucks. It's currently a useless stat since spirit weapons, weapons made for high health builds, aren't in the game yet. So rn it just decreases your damage. You can get hp through armor and accessories

    • @rcasey6030
      @rcasey6030 Год назад

      Decreases your damage... AND increases your health. Not at an even ratio, as I quote, "increase your health, but reduce your damage SLIGHTLY". You're getting an overall stat boost.
      Also, picking a character based solely on what is currently in the game means you won't have anything ready to go when it updates. Those classes will eventually get more attention, and I'm pretty sure spirit weapons are high on the to-do list.
      If you are ONLY concerned with a pvp/metamancer character, you make a worthy argument, but at that point just tell everyone to pick either mage or warrior as they have the current best pvp potential.
      Don't mean to sound hostile, but I keep seeing people treat vitality builds as though they're the worst mistake you could make. Unless you're a metamancer, they're not, and even if you are, do deeper research. Maybe even test it out for yourself. Don't just trust the word of the internet, especially on an early access game.

      @R Casey While I understand your point, speccing into Vitality is a bad idea unless you're attempting to go for one of the tank builds. Even if you want to switch over, we're getting a free skill reset in the next update along with the potion system which has a skill reset potion. Not to mention according to the official Trello, Spirit Weapons are fairly far off considering the potion update is a month away. In the current state, you'd have more fun running any build other than Vitality builds due to them having more options.

Usually, skills/skill options unlock every 10 levels, meaning in some cases you sacrifice an option to either alter your skills/spells, or even miss out on an entire skill. Unless you are going for one of the Vitality based builds, putting points into Vitality just isn't worth it in the current version.

Also I believe it has a charred effect that has synergy with other elements but I could be wrong. In pvp its also able to blind the opponent for sometime and makes it even worse with multiple attacks landing. Light is actually really good compared to alot of other magics. Now its opposite, could be one of the worst magics in the game but I believe it could make up for it with how balanced the stats are.

    Update: They got rid of the level locks in the game. You can now do the quests at any level, just that it makes you do a quick tutorial mission as a replacement instead. Like "Here's how you craft jewels." or "Here's how you brew potions." yada yada. Granted, that doesn't mean you'll actually be able to *beat* the stuff in the next quest(s), but you can technically do it now at any level, ...technically.
    Also, I found myself agreeing with pretty much everything you were saying about the game.
    Edit: Also, they implemented teleporting after you talk to Ben at the bottom of the mountain at each point in the questline there. You only need to climb the mountain once now in the story, assuming you don't fall off, in which case, you will have to climb it again. Or you can just reset your character, which will make you respawn back up there.
    I also found the comment about Blox Fruits, Deepwoken, and this game funny. Because, I guess I'm different in that regard. I actually do like Blox Fruits and Arcane Odyssey, but I don't like Deepwoken.

    As somebody with 150 Agility, its not that hard to climb the stepstones. I recommend yall get a couple Agility clothing you can switch to when your not planning to battle. You can jump 3x higher. You can do the superjump trick with the Leap Spell. Maybe climbing the side of the mountain, without all the terrain (bridges, steps) is easier. As you can just focus on jumping, as walking up the stepstones is slower compared to the Agility based climbing.

      @xanthiusdrake2775 Год назад +1

      Repeatable quests do exist, but they are leagues better then simple bandit beating, I mean sure there are such quests in Frostmill and Redwake, but thats just the early game, so you will want some basic fighting quests to learn the games combat. Whereas a lot of other games will have you do boring bandit beating quests even at the lategame.
      A good example of a good repeatable quest is that one quest at Ravenna that gives 13k exp, as you are sent out to hunt pirate ships, which are a good challenge to test your mantle, as pirate ships and its officers are no pushovers, even players at the current maximum level can have trouble if things go south on them. Pirate ships also give some of the best loot in the game (aside from some of the bosses) making it all the more worth it to repeat the quest.

    I've always had a love-hate relationship with magic-based combat in the Arcane Adventures series. It seems like it's always evolving, but never really scratching that responsive itch I find standing between me and enjoying using magic. The conjurer awakening somewhat addresses this, as the weapon attacks are much more reactive and fairly versatile, but the awakening comes so late and if anything I lose interest in relying on the magic by then. Even then, most magics give little benefit to the weapon, typically just inflicting a status effect in place of bleed or slightly modifying weapon stats.
    Problem is, even the fastest magics make you immensely vulnerable unless you've maxed out your magic and you're dealing maximum damage with the time you spend standing around casting spells. The status effects are always nice, and they can be quite powerful- but for the main focus the game's combat centers around, its always felt a bit underbaked.
    The problem is especially clear when you acknowledge that, at least until now, Vetex hasn't ever been too good at making boss fights work. Even now, I think the whole aimbot with massive AoE trend is still a thing. The only part of the formula that's making fights in AO more functional than the endurance tests of AA is the new dimension of mobility the dash adds.
    The dash, while a major improvement on magic-based combat, also introduces a whole other issue: PvP is dominated by AoE. You can use weapons like muskets or abilities like beams and blasts, but these tools are more effective on NPCs. Some npcs will dash reactively (and I find it quite annoying, much like their random propensity to block all incoming damage while performing an otherwise punishable attack), but only players really have access to this tool. This means that, ironically, Magic becomes the MOST viable setup for PvP with the large and high burst damage attacks full mages get access to in the late game.
    On another note, anyone remember the "shield" move all the magics in AA had back in the day? They seemed immensely useless, given that a lot of magics seemed to just *AoE damage* through them and the shields held you in place like any other spell. Again, I think it's both indicative of how far we've come since AA but also how much the original magic system needs more transformative change. I think part of this can come with the way magics are cast, as magic menu options perhaps. Biggest thing I miss from WoM is the ability to change the way multi-burst attacks are cast by the casting style you used, but it seems we've lost that dimension of interaction. Maybe more ways to cast that punish you less or enable different uses for magic, in much the same way these stances affected casting methods, would be a worthwhile addition to get the best of both worlds and make magic use more accessible.

I wish they made it so you only had to go up once and send down something like a pidgeon to speak to Ren instead of constantly having to climb the same mountain or reset, since resetting your character JUST to avoid a 3 minute climbing experience is so immersion breaking and completely screws over that game acting as what is basically a player dedication check.

Btw the level lock is easily passable if you comple the exploration on the sarter islands that are fast to do and you get massive amounts of exp plus it makes you find secret places that have lots of chests(the rarity is random).

    You should come back to arcane odyssey, they removed most of the level locks got rid of all the repeatable quests and added a bit more content and also a second sea with harder enemies (though its a bit barren next update is gonna add the navy base)
