Novemember last year an official dev post stated they are infact working on it, but this would not be an easy fix and would require some time.
So yes, over a year later and we never heard anything more about it. But they did confirm in an official statement they are going to work on it.
no doubt! Think this was even requested in beta. I’ve got it on my QOL list here: Mega thread, bugs, polish and just bad development
Please can anyone find the dev comment stating they are working on AoE spells.
It was around november or december last year in a very long post where they adressed tons of things and how they intended to work on it in an attempt at transparency.
I distinctly remember seeing them mention aoe spells and how this was “not an easy fix and would not be quick to implement”
but it was mentioned in a long list of many other things.
I can’t count the amount of times I’ve ran into a heal trying to survive and it’s the enemies heal.
From my memory, they never explicitly said they were working on it. They just slightly acknowledged it in passing.
I doubt they’ve even touched it. Or have plans to. They’ve got other priorities. Which is pretty SAD.
No they definitely did.
It was before they started releasing roadmaps when they had this long list of things in their patch notes or something.
I’ll keep digging. but yes I also doubt they have touched it
if they are working on it, what does that say about the game?
It takes them months and months to change the color of a spell?
If it takes them that long to do something so simple, how long will it take to add a new opr map? Or do anything else.
I vaguely remember them saying that too but don’t remember the setting.
And the kicker is that they already change our armor colors to red and blue. Something nobody needs or is asking for…
But they cant change spell colors? Uhmmmmmmmm
I remember it. It was a long list of things they are going to change with the december update maybe?
I also remember the same post saying they would change the armor scaling formula and the level scaling. It was the same patch which changed lvl 50 pvp armor from being the best armor in the game to being actually bad low level armor.
They changed more stuff, they also mentioned in the last paragraph they would be adding an animation buffer to attacks. Which was the beginning of the downfall of combat and fluidity.
I remember it so damn well, I had long conversations on discord about it but I have left that discord server. But it has to be out there somewhere, I just cant find it.
I can only assume devs don’t read the forums. They have an ex navy seal moderator who has the mental fortitude to sort through all the hateful posts. But he doesnt actually play the game so he doesnt know what feedback is actually useful.
Thats how I imagine it anyway.
At the end of the day, they just have no excuse.
It should be on the short list of priorities. They should put a dedicated team on it until it gets done.
If any of the devs were gamers they would understand this. And if the game were run by gamers it would have been in the game on day 1.
I really, REALLY think that if they implement this someday, it’ll enable somekind of dupe through an stupid way.
Marketplace disabled for 2 weeks. somehow it causes massive war lag as well. it also somehow causes invulnerability and causes abilities to not go on CD after use. And in the process somehow muskets, firestaff and ice gauntlet can rapid fire.
don’t forget more clown skins
the pvp community is a very small part of the new world community. you can see this plainly when 1000+ players are on a server and the opr queue has like 28 people.
This is because opr sucks. the pvpers all quit the game again.
if they would quit the forums we’d be in a much better place
thats true. AGS probably shouldnt have advertised their pvp so much. then people wouldnt have invested the time and had all these opinions.
Feel like it goes like this:
“Yeah that’s too difficult to change, hopefully they just forget about that one.”
Lol.
