    so just a little story here from the owner and trello team.
    Nuova (owner) released 2 marks, which are basically a slot connected skill tree type of thing. at first the trello team (disconnected from the game cause the game literally does not give you ANYTHING to work with and there is still a potion we havent found the recipe for) was busy figuring out how to get one and they figured it out, hurray. then all of a sudden nuova updated the game and suddenly the mark seem unobtainable sometimes and sometimes not. the trello team reported this to Nuova and he said "you guys just did the steps wrong." Then the trello team went on a hunt for the "missing step" or "wrong steps" and same results. this went on for about 3 days where the trello team was trying to find out what is wrong with the mark quest and finding nothing while having to deal with MAJOR item loses (drops that have an unspecified drop rate so it may as well be 1% or 5%). at the end though, the trello team realized it was actually a bug that was connected to the slot version. and to quote the trello, "The community went, pardon the french, Apeshit. They were right. The dev was wrong. All those hours and artifacts wasted. Only time would tell if the developers would fix this."
    So what did Nuova say?
    "NuovaPrime - 02/29/2024 10:57 PM
    ngl idc rn about petent being bugged
    someone else can look at it"
    TL:DR very hard obtainment thin was bugged, trello team tried to see what was wrong, dev denied, trello team did literally everything, dev went idc

      a fine example of this is also the classes and the alignment system, or the potions, or where the bosses are and how to access them... it is a wiki game despite how much i like its concepts, and without the wiki there is absolutely NO direction to it

I don't know if anyone remembers but there was this game called "A slayers tale" by AwokenTy. It was a demon slayer game with permadeath. It was so bad because breath training took forever and you could very easily lose it if you lost all your lives. Despite it being bad, it was fun to fuck around on and kill time.

    I've been a fan of arcane lineage for almost a month now (and still am, not sure for how much longer). Most of your points was INCREDIBLY agreeable. But i'd like to give clearance to some of those problems that you faced
    1. There exists an npc near spawn which leans on a lamp post which tells a few basics. (i do hate how the devs doesnt make that clear)
    2. It's told by said npc, but you need to meditate on a mat to level up by talking to a floating white orb.
    3. You need to unlock base classes to get moves. (Though i'm sure this is easy to know about with the game trello, i do dislike that new players need to use the trello in the first place)

    • @BountiedFish

      But to add coal to the fire, i've seen a suggestion in the AL discord where someone suggested things to improve the "new user" experience. But Nuova (a dev) said that those suggestions will remove exploration in the game (which i dont agree, since PERMADEATH exists), and also said that those who use the trello are "lazy".. MF IT SAVES PRECIOUS TIME FROM PEOPLE
      Nevertheless i still enjoy the game at its current time. Once you start to understand things in the game, it starts to be enjoyable

    The running/walking idea doesn’t sound too intuitive from a design stance, because typically loud noise and extreme movement would attract more enemies and slow movement would do the opposite. Its a negative affordance, but one that devs have to work with. Also if they spelled that out at the start, they'd have to spell out everything at the start, and Roblox players don't like to read alot. The quest and roguelike gripes though were 100% facts, bad decisions.

    Thank god someone who isn’t on something fierce reviewed this game. The entire time I played this game I had the wiki open in my browser, you can’t do shit without the wiki. The entirety of the Lentum quest line is entirely dependent on information the quest giver doesn’t give you, and the king slime YOU spent 150-200 (It’s randomized because having a set number is too easy) slime chunks on to fight ends up spawning far away, and can be stolen by another player. And don’t get me started on getting disconnected in a boss fight and losing a life to a boss that you would have won against in the first place. It’s so easy to fix as well, just spawn the player back into the boss fight when they rejoin and notify them “due to disconnecting you will not obtain loot from this fight” (to prevent duping bosses like king slime by having everyone in the fight join different servers). It’s just straight up painful how bad this game was designed. It’s fun to play with friends (and don’t get me started on how painful solo playing this game is) and that’s the only reason I ever kept on playing it past my first experience with it.

    The reason rogue lineage was so successful despite having very little tutorials or anything was because of its world building.

    As a Player of Arcane Lineage I agree with most of you points.
    Potions solve most encounter problems, however potions are supposed to be learned through hints the Alchemist NPC's give so not really accessible to new players however you can buy the potion to reduce encounters for 60 gold.
    There's free alternatives to anything you can buy whether that's race rerolls or other slots.
    Classes are Reputation and Level locked for the most part and it isn't really explained that u need potions and quests to increase your rep.
    Levels are obtained via meditating on a mat and talking to a NPC similar to the light in the intro exchanging essence for levels.
    Guild Requests and Encounters do tell you what u got they just appear at the bottom of your screen and disappear very quickly.
    The end game experience is made easier through soul points which increases ur base stats, damage, luck, essence gain, etc which you only get after reaching milestones.
    The new player experience isn't very good.

    Eclipse, you do know you can talk to other players right? The combat is also meant to be played in a party hence the comment In the description and the party menu. The gripe about the quest not giving you numerical progress is just a nitpick. Completing the quest does tell you what you get, I’m not sure how you miss the “+item” in the bottom left. Getting money is easy because all you have to do is sell things you get from monsters in the shop you went into at the beginning. Buying weapons doesn’t mean it will give you free stuff.

    The tutorial npc right next to spawn in a way teaches you how to level up. He first teaches you how to meditate, at this point you might be confused by the ball of light and the eyes towards the back of the church, but if you talk to the either you'll realize you can't do anything and need more essence (assuming you just joined the game). At this point most players will head back to the npc and he tells you to kill 3 slimes, if you wander outside the town pretty big chance, you'll end up fighting slimes like you did in the video and once you kill all 3, you'll finish the quest and have the essence to level up. I do think that it could use maybe a highlight for newer players but in most games it's important to glean information around you. I think it's also important to form your own opinions rather than just being mindless sheep, Eclipse had a horrible new player experience and I understand some of the criticisms, like spawn rates being random, guild requests, uninspiring/ boring map starter map, the orderly system and chaotic system being complete bs for new players but even still my personal experience wasn't so bad, and I've had alot of fun with and without friends. Form your own opinions based on your own experiences and decide for yourself rather than letting someone decide if a game is trash or not for you. Anyways just my opinion peace out.

    The limited lives makes the difficulty system interesting because it lowers your max lives and increases enemy damage. but increases loot and such, which makes fights more tense.
    I'll admit that getting classes and the alignment system are unintuitive, but your complaint about money is missing the fact that every enemy in the game has a high/guaranteed chance to drop a sellable item to the merchant, which you found in your video but didn't realize you can sell slime chunks to, I guess. (Slime has 100% chance for slime chunk and *every* enemy in the game has a chance to drop blueprints/scrolls (how you use magic) which sell for roughly 200 each)
    Again, not hating, but I didn't look things up until around level 23-ish (which is still a problem but that's mostly me not realizing the locations which could be argued is part of the fun (exploring not getting lost)). Sorry for making this comment but I was just confused by how I always agree with almost all of your points only to watch this video and agree with like 2 of them (the map being bad and the weapons doing nothing until you get a class).

      Interesting points, but fall apart easily.
      1. How are you meant to know theres a tutorial NPC? If the game says "little handholding" and every single NPC looks the same, wouldn't ones first thought after talking to like 6 NPCs to go to the forest? And couldn't the dev team care so much as to add a arrow on where this illusive tutorial character is if he's so important?
      2. Permadeath isn't fun in the early game if you're being punished for dying by making enemies harder? Who gives a shit about more loot if you're being mauled constantly and being punished for dying? There's a difference between being difficult and unfair.
      3. Where the fuck do you sell this loot? Am I meant to "find it" like the tutorial NPC? How am I meant to know my random shit is worth anything and there is a merchant?
      4. Good games never make you look up things just to figure out what to do.

      Heya Funnyguy, I would just like to point out some things related to your argument
      1: the god in the opening cutscene tells you to go and find the tutorial NPCs name (I would write what it is but I forgot) he states that he will help you get started.
      2: you manually have to turn the difficulty up so when you're ready for the increased challenge you can turn it on, you don't get punished unless you ask for it, and dying early game helps you to learn and improve from your experiences.
      3: the merchant is very clearly pointed out with a sign just like Eclipse says, this is one of the few good things he says about the game, even staying that the NPC tells you to sell him things and the shop is very clearly labelled with the sign.
      4: I agree, good games don't make you look it up, but each and every single class/obtainable race/mark all have lore books that explain roughly how to get them, all you have to do is research in the in-game librarys, you don't have to look things up, it's just easier.

    @SirJmansBread 5 месяцев назад +1

    I agree with a LOT of the points but there IS a guide, his name is YORN.
    He tells your overall goal in the game (not in the game yet.)
    He also tells you how to get stronger/level up (pressing M on the mats, which is also in the game description.)
    He also gives you a quest to give you a brand new ability.
    Edit:
    I agree with some of the things you say like the map, the game SHOULD tell you to talk to Yorn, sadly it doesn't. The guild requests have been something that has always peeved me because I wanna know exact amounts. Permadeaths are very necessary with SOUL POINTS, plus it really makes you think about your actions. It doesn't let you just turn your brain off and go on a killing spree and just NOT think. There are potions called "Abhorrent elixirs" which don't let any mobs attack you for as long as the potion is in effect. If you complain about not knowing potion recipes the lady in the potion ship gives you hints to go figure out the recipes yourself which brings out more immersive content if you choose not to look anything up! (You can also just buy them in the same shop) I dislike how the game doesn't tell you how to complete the potions because I know I struggled with that when I was a beginner. But Yorn also tells you to go out and ask some players for help. Of course you're going to find people who wont care but if you keep trying you will find people who are willing to give some handholding. IF you're going to make a video like this on Arcane Lineage then at least get far enough into the game where it counts like bosses, glitches, THE MERCHANT WHICH IS HORRIBLE, and RACES OH MY IT SUCKS. I'm a really big fan of this game but when I see the merchant and the race system it actually makes me go insane. You basically played the game for a couple hours and gave up without talking to the one and only guide npc. Id love to see you remake this video and trash some actually really bad points on this game and maybe get the devs to fix it. But you pretty much gave up too early.
    Sorry for typing a whole paragraph, thank you for anyone who actually took the time to read this, I doubt this will get much coverage or many people will see this but I really just needed to blurt this all out! I'm probably just yapping anyways.

    tbh, it took me around 3 wipes to realise how to level up and it felt like really bad game design, IS WHAT I WOULDVE SAID IF I WASNT MASOCHIST
    learning things yourself or asking other people around you boosts the roleplay mechanism by A LOT. eclipse i accept dis is a really bad beginner start but like you arent suppose to get the mechanisms by start, even me learning how to level up after 3 wipes wasnt the games issue i just got gaslighted by a random person, it took me around 5 minutes to realise what to do in first around 5-7 hours of the game and after that it was just easy to figure out i never used internet and only tryed to find myself. i absolutely love dis type of game design and i accept its not made for everyone or its good but its just what some people like me love, figuring out yourself is nothing like the feeling of level up. geting 40 heals or sum before starting the game is absolutely better than what i did but losing so many times to so many small things in legendary mode with a necromancer run after the nerfs and while using nisse thats not a bad race for my class but not a good one either, i still had one of the best if not the best turn based roblox expreince i had in roblox
    and perma death especially in legendary mode is just perfect to make me focus in fights and not just spam the same stragey over again it adds depth to the game, literally.
    but i agree with guild quests its just bad game design
    AND I BEG YOU PLEASE, I FUCKING BEG YOU PLEASE JUST DO NOT RATE A GAME BASED ON THE FIRST PLAY THOSE 3K PEOPLE ARE JUST PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HAVE FUN GAME IS REALLY FUN IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO EXPLORE AND SACRIFICE SOME TIME, OR JUST PROGRESS A LITTLE and just saying you said it yourself ''there is a shop that i can sell stuff in'' and did not try to sell things you got from monsters to get gold?
    and i agree with hooking the player in the start game isnt newbie friendly AT ALL, its bad game design? for some people yes. it makes the whole game worst of the worst on roblox? HELL NO i beg you eclipse please do not rate a game based on first time just rate the early game out of it.

    getting new skills is a nightmare:
    basically when you kill an enemy there's a VERY small chance they drop a scroll which contains a skill, but that also has problems:
    all scrolls are useless until you reach a certain level
    a good chunk of scrolls are completely useless anyway (out of the 5 skills i ever got only 1 of them was actually used, that being steel body which reduces all damage you take by around 60% for a single turn)
    the game does not tell you what does the skill do (i thought that a skill called "Lesser Absorb" would be something that heals me a percentage of damage dealt to the enemy, but no, of course it makes you take damage for a party member sometimes (by party members, i mean actual players, you kinda have to cooperate with friends/randoms to make the game slightly less painful)

    TLDR at bottom 👍,
    The name is because of arcane being a part of the inspiration, as I believe that’s the name of the dev who made platform battles, the primary inspiration, and lineage because the art style is similar to rogue lineage’s art style.
    The trello is linked on the discord and is how your supposed to know what is what. Other games like Terraria and Minecraft, both bestselling games, rely on this as well. (Minecraft’s recipes and nether portal, and terraria’s weak use of the guide and vague guide to summoning bosses). I don’t think it’s a good thing but I think it’s not a complete turn off that makes the game unplayable. Also with that being said up until super classes it’s pretty obvious what’s going on, I played in the play test and got the gameplay loop down in fifteen-ish minutes.
    The next few complaints are related to that, however as someone who played in the play test before most features I got a base class and lv 20 in about 25~ minutes.
    Permadeath is really easily avoidable via an item that gives you back a life. It’s an optional challenge(modes) with huge rewards, and opens up a gateway for soul points, which are permanent upgrades to your character.
    The map is not that visually appealing other then the desert, cess grounds and overgrown forest(forgive me if I’m wrong about the name I haven’t played for two weeks now and I have a trash memory). All of the later problems are not apparent in other parts of the map and only really apply to a specific blank area where neutral super classes are. Exploration isn’t even supposed to be a big aspect of the game, your supposed to be tethered in your specific grinding area and prepare for the bosses.
    Next is the encounter system… I don’t even know what your trying to say anymore, this is a pretty standard turn based encounter system… Then you say you ran around the town.. and didn’t realize it’s a safe area, hopefully this is supposed to be the perspective of someone who just started to play video games but I’m not even sure anymore.
    This information gap seems to keep reappearing… as I said please think of other examples. It does suck that they use a trello for everything but games do that. Even amazingly high quality games like deepwoken sometimes need trellos, like for oaths, resonances (ain’t no way your discovering them without one), origins, map, etc…
    Since you love exploration so much, please consider abhorrent and alluring elixirs. Alluring increases fight rates drastically, and abhorrent makes you unable to get in a fight.
    The quests are just a bonus thing, and you can check your progress by asking the npc again and reading the dialogue, not just halfway but it marks down quarters. Turn in quests are for quests that ask you to turn stuff in 💀. Information gap is still apparently a problem for you, and only you. Please just play the game for at least an hour before flaming it. The quests are a really really small part of the game on top of that. In my first 100 hours I didn’t even use them. It does in fact tell you what you get from the quest, check the bottom right where your drops appear.
    You don’t even have a class in the entire footage and yet your flaming it for features you might have just not unlocked/uncovered/seen yet, ex: maps, encounter system and information. It really seems like you just joined it and started insulting whatever you can find. Your “1 hour” was for the most part spent seemingly on finding a new system to insult. You frequently complain about the need for information but then attack the wiki like it killed your grandma.
    This is coming from a person who has 400+ hours sinked in, obtained all super classes (except ranger because I was lazy) and obtained every sudo artifact and non mv artifacts (I have enough dupes, blessed items, and event weapons that I most likely could obtain mv drops).
    I love your videos but please put effort into making them. It’s very possible that I just am used to using wikis from my time of playing hypixel skyblock 370+ hours, and terraria for a whopping 1120+ hours, but they don’t kill upon sight. Also, please think to talk to the tutorial npc that is put right in front of you at spawn that tells you the basic mechanics and location of one of the normal class trainers. All of the problems seem to stem from a simple lack of want to use the wiki, and a poor understanding of what the turn based genre frequently does. Next time play for more then three hours, as your one hour was my first five or six minutes.

      Naaaah, let him play it actually.
      Fear and Hunger, even if in subtle way, actually explains stuff. Books actually can explain quite a lot (both in F&H and Termina), exploring/experimenting ACTUALLY REWARDS YOU ( and as a whole trial and error actually works here, since every enemy (like a guard with a… ahem, a stinger) is basically a puzzle you need to figure out. It does bash your head into the ground, yes, but it’s manageable. It doesn’t have a rule of “no handholding”, but instead it subtly applies information for you, which actually fits the lore of it. It’s brutal grim fantasy, thus the fitting learning for it.
      Here it’s just in these roblox games… That’s just a poor piss excuse of “bohoo, no handholding”, nah, don’t touch game design ever again if you develop with this shit. And I am saying this as a F&H/F&H:Termina veteran.
      I kinda just see the “no handholding” in the description as “oh, here is tutorial npc (or controls panel at the start). Would there be anything else, not even remotely lore-like related explanations? Your hope is as dim as the depths of the void if that’s the case, lol!”
      It feels uninspired and just… honestly made me drop this roblox game. Multiple, in fact.

    Eclipse, why don’t you ever show any amount of curiosity when it comes to video games? I understand if it’s something obscure and that a lot of people wouldn’t see, but in the hour that you played the game, you never saw people sitting on that carpet and wondered “hm, i wonder what they’re doing”, got a prompt to meditate, and did it? I get most of your other criticisms, but you’re far too conceited to expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter. You seem… privileged, to say the least? Or you just have a personal problem with games that don’t say “hey this is what everything does!” it’s probably just a personal opinion that i hold, but it’s kinda disappointing when games give you all your resources outright rather than letting them figure it out themselves.

I agree there is issues that could make people not want to play but that doesn't make the game completely bad, anyways still enjoyed the video and you had a lot of good points in video game design.

You talk to some NPCs, and they don't offer a whole lot that you care about. So, you move right on ahead due to there not being anything to base the need to speak to that specific NPC off of. If it's possible to miss the tutorial because you didn't do some arbitrary thing, that's bad design. It's not like this is the kind of thing that can fix itself with an "aha" moment later on, because due to a player missing the tutorial there will likely be no later on.
