>>3641280 (OP)
>Farming Sovereign of the Storms
>Locked behind Rank 10 Skye rep
Anyone know the best way to farm this? Kicking Iona's ass takes too much effort.

>>3641280 (OP)
Most of my memories come from botting AQW in 2011

>>3641406
Nothing good aside from the /balemorale dailies.
The world boss quest was good, but it's rare now.
This is why you always boost when doing a saga.

>>3641280 (OP)
>Do you have fond memories of their games?
Just memories. I think the writing stopped being funny and interesting not because I stopped being a kid, but just because it got really grating. I stopped reading the text and used to play Dragonfable for a bit since I liked them trying to write decent lore. Dropped it all together since they struggle to make it consistent in regards to aging. I would love to be into it again, but the population is mostly ESL if they even speak English and bots.

Should I look forward to Infinity because it just sounds like AQW just cross platform. I see no reason to touch any of them again outside of Dragonfable due to just not being fun.

>>3641474
>Iona in story is a power hungry tyrant whom everyone, even her own children, despises
>The Hero still wants to fuck her, but keeps it to himself
Why is he like this?

What are your favorite classes that you wouldn't consider good?

>>3643628
Dijin and Shadow Scythe General
>absolute dogshit late game but carried me throughout the early game

>>3643628
Original Dragonlord. It was fun to use it for everything years ago.

>Finally get Sovereign of Storms
>DPS seems lacking
Am I spoiled by AI's enhanced state?

>>3643628
Necromancer, over a decade ago it was so good that it even defeated VHL players in PVP. Then again any player with VHL at that time was almost guaranteed to be a SEA bot.

>>3644070
It’s advertised as a late game class so it’s shit by design

Think they'll ever make another single player game again?

>>3644459
LOL maybe, actually

>>3641474
Surprised AQW doesn't just fully embrace the coomer identity. Do away with all the kiddy shit and get back to telling dark stories and giving us hot clinically insane women.

>>3645752
It's still an E10 game. They'll include fanservice, but I don't think they want to go all out. Company image is still important, you know?
I wonder if we'll be able to actually save the next evil woman.

They should make another non-fantasy game.
I'd even settle for a mech game.

Although, it'd be best to make something set in the near-future, but still allow the characters to use fantasy-type weapons(sci-fi sword, gloves that can create fireballs, etc. Like in Hellgate London).

>>3646038
If they do another mech game I hope they add more flavors of scifi like atomic punk and diesel punk.

>>3645752
Going full coomer is never good it'll just put off all the current players and will be left with nothing but the braindead e-rp faggot guilds.

>>3645752
>get back
Have you ever played an Artix game? They've been nothing but parodies/memes/jokes etc they were never dark with the exception of a few quests.

So who are everyone's favorite characters? And I'm curious about something. They've been around for awhile and everyone's thought it at one point but has anyone actually tried to get hired?

made an account less than a month ago. in that time I've gotten AP, LoO, SC, YnR, DT, CAv, VHL, carpal tunnel, and LR. I got every rep locked class and got most reps in general to 10. even snagged polly roger. didn't even use an auto clicker. now what?

How is your Forge looking?

>>3651351
I haven't started any items or forge stuff really. was too busy getting all the classes. I guess that should be the next thing I work on then. feels like I already beat the game though ngl.

>>3651370
Forge enhancements are really fucking good, so I highly recommend you get them. Of note are
>Elysium - Excellent for many farming classes
>Valiance - Good all rounder
>Ravenous - Excellent for killing bosses
>Arcana Concerto - Excellent for parties
>Dauntless - Excellent for just fucking shit up
Just note that all of these take fucking forever to get. I hope you still have stuff left over from farming VHL.

>>3651373
>I hope you still have stuff left over from farming VHL.
no not really. I'll bet the grind can't be worse than what I've done so far though... right?

>>3651376
I don't think so? Besides needing to kill ultra bosses a bunch of times for Concerto and Dauntless, at least. You've killed the First Speaker already, right?

>>3651378
only ultras I've fought are drakath and dage for the classes. they all seem annoying to do, honestly. the game is too jank for mechanics.

>>3651384
They'd be so much easier if public rooms weren't filled with retards...

>>3651333
Get every variant of NSoD

>>3651333
Go get EDoT, VDK, and AM if you like classes so much. Forge stuff while you're at it, and some 51% and 75% dmg items. Then RGoW. And then Eclipse Emperor I guess. Not much else after that unless you want badges on your char page.

>>3647526
>put off all the current players
Lol, no, delusional. AQW players are already here just to get boring grinds , turning more coomer wouldn't change that.

Holy shit that thigh gap is HUGE. She been pushing out Draconian babies out or what?

>>3652741
True.
But, playing through the Skye storyline made me like Victoria more.

>>3652760
Anon, that's a loin cloth not the cape showing between her legs.

>>3652760
Anon, that's not a thigh gap...
>>3652761
Victoria is good, and I'm glad we got an entire story arc focusing on her character.
Still funny to me that most of the Cold Thunder stuff is related to Queen Iona, though. Why don't we have a "Royal Archer" class related to Robina yet?

I hate that they changed it so that I can't enchant stuff with the spitfire enchantment anymore.
I was using it to mark cosmetic weapons by unenchanting them from when I put lucky on them back at level 55 or whatever.
It's fine for book of lore stuff, I can just sell them and get them again, not so much for rares.

>>3652762
I'm glad they didn't add a cleavage window to that dress. Would've been too much.

>>3652762
Gonna be honest here, if both Iona and Drago were on fire.
I'd piss on Drago.

Nope.
I saw all the guides coming out for it and never bothered even trying.
It is fundamentally impossible to do in pubs.

>>3662379
If only I had friends to do this with.

I hate how halfassed AQW's wiki is compared to other game's wikis.
It doesn't even keep the descriptions of the temporary quest items that have them.
Which sucks for quests that you can only complete once.

Another day, another hour of failed Malgor attempts

>>3652762
Personally I'm waiting for PUNISHED Robina who goes full berserk mode on everybody and stops trying to maintain the peace with all these losers who don't even want it. She's just constantly losing everything and being attacked without respite, meanwhile Evil just constantly gets rewarded and Chaos gets a full pardon.
Why would Good even side with them anymore? The truce doesn't benefit them and her people are still being killed by the others in the truce. It's ridiculous.

Gods America was White then. MechQuest came and went but interest died out. AQW came and was this big monumental thing for the browser game sphere of the internet. They need to do a reboot game. A somewhat massive character action game to try to smush in ALL of the actually good plotbeats and ideas and jokes they've had over the course of the games. They should make an open world Medieval/Devil May Cry clone because at the end of the day the gameplay loop was leveling up and getting stronger and hitting shit with quirky humor. The problem is they'd have to throw money at it and they just don't have the resources I think. No one wants to play a twenty dollar Unity game that feels like it's worth five dollars. People would pay for a high quality 40 or 60 dollar game with cute characters and a legitimately funny twenty or thirty hour story if it's Witcher but funny.

>>3674541
>They need to do a reboot game
Pretty much what Infinity is, I think

>>3674544
It's 2d browser game from fifteen years ago. It's not about pure consoomerism sales, it's about if they want to be relevant and not a memory with their characters and stories then that's not going to cut it.

Have a 'zard.

>>3672458
I don't even bother with it because the final reward just looks ugly in a dress up game and the bonus to damage is not a game changer compared to the other stuff

>>3647970
Hired by AE? It’s a company that relies on a single game to keep the lights on not exactly a safe bet

>>3676123
All of them have dogshit unstable weapon damage anyway.
And you only need one boosted 35% armor.

>>3647970
They rely a LOT on cheap Malaysian contract artists and ones they do get on more robust contracts usually get swooped up by other studios fairly quickly. Despera is a ticking timebomb, I'm surprised Dage hasn't left yet (he could easily work for Blizzard), Kotaro's work ethic is shite so he's likely to stay, and nobody else would hire Lae because he only knows three colors, black, dark black, and slightly gray black. I'd love to work there as a stepping stone to get into the industry but the pay is likely really crap and the game itself should've been shut down a decade ago.

>>3677504
Thank you for reminding me to buy the battle pet

I wish it had more animations beyond following you around.
Also, imagine being a citizen of Skye, finally free of Iona's iron rule, and then seeing the Hero that freed you running around with Iona's ghost or something following him.

Why is the Eternal Dragon like this

Rude, La

Why don't more people talk about the story in this game? The new Christmas event was soul crushing. You people don't just play the game for numbers go up dopamine slop, do you?

>>3679430
I'll be straight with you I have NOT followed the story since the 13 lords of chaos finale. They never really hit the same peak after Doomwood anyway. It really had everything. Genuine stakes. Memorable soundtrack. Great side character/villains (Sally and Noxus) A main villain who actually felt like a THREAT. The unforgettable Artix + Gravelyn twists. Man take me back to the first time I heard these songs.
https://youtu.be/h4f5f4zXopc
https://youtu.be/lrAUpr0HGS4
I only tabbed in for Throne of Darkness after that since Artix was writing it. It was okay, but nowhere near Doomwood level of kino. Felt like an overly comedy focused saga. That being said, didn't that end teasing Sepulchure's return at the end? ...Did they ever follow up on that?

>>3679430
Because despite the game going on for almost 20 years (christ we're fucking old) the only two notable storylines are the 13 Lords of Chaos (half of which is boring) and Darkon Saga. There's a few A tier ones like Future Akiba (fuck you I liked it), Throne of Darkness and Seppys origin story but most people never talk about them, god forbid any other storyline.

>>3679500
>I have NOT followed the story since the 13 lords of chaos finale
>They never really hit the same peak after Doomwood anyway
?????
so you stopped reading but know they never hit the same peak? a fair amount of the newer stuff shits on doomwood, especially Malgor. I'm at a loss as to why you would even play this game when the gameplay's so shit if you think barely any of the writing is worth a damn
>>3679681
read reply above. Shadows of War was fantastic. there's a fuck ton of good shit ranging from really funny to really emotionally engaging. this new christmas event especially.

>>3679719
>so you stopped reading but know they never hit the same peak
I'm not trying to claim that. Maybe I should have worded it better. Nothing else in the Chaos Lords saga (2008-2014 AQW if you want to be technical) hit the same peak as Doomwood is what I meant. I'm not denying there might have been good events since that was a decade (holy shit) ago, but I have not read them.

>>3679724
give it a shot. there's a lot of good material there. the anon above listed out some of them.

>>3679719
>Shadows of War was fantastic
I dunno about that man, Malgor's backstory was pretty good but the rest felt like a political drama which isn't my cup of tea.

>>3679740
fair enough if you don't like political dramas, but I thought it was fantastic. at least keep up with the new christmas event, it'll give us more stuff to talk about and is also very good. there's a deep sense of loss in both how many people have died and how much happier times were before.

Holy shit, I didn't realize Sentinel got buffed so much. Hitting 15k+ with only a 51%.

In descending order of importance: Nostalgia, Theory-crafting, Lore, Fashion
Which was why I only returned when Forge was added and mostly play other games.
If story/writing was the priority, then I would play something else like DragonFable.
I also enjoy crossover heavy storylines that reference their older games' lore.

>>3679740
It was mainly a political drama focused on attempting to reunite their broken ties to face the Queen, which is needed to establish the status quo before moving on after such a world shattering finale to the Chaos Saga. Personally I think everyone shits on it unnecessarily because it followed such a hype finale and it felt a bit directionless where it seemed like the Hero never progressed, but the dreariness and hopelessness of the whole QoM saga was a really nice contrast I think. Not only to both the Chaos Saga's bombastic heroic nature and the Malgor Arc's somber tone of acceptance, but also in the visuals where the enemies switched from legendary mythological beasts and varied motives from the villains to just being monsters motivated by grief and anger.
That saga serves to properly humanize the Hero as an actual character before placing them as the central role, which is something you need to do to also build on the other characters like Gravelyn and Victoria going forward. Everything was devastated after the Chaos War from the alliance factions to even (you), the unbeatable wise cracking hero. The Chaos War was the start where (you) caused so much pain to the world (you)'re supposed to protect, but QoM is the point where the hero truly starts to lose faith in their role and their own strength to make a change when every minor arc was at best maintaining the status quo. The whole Queen > Malgor arc is mainly wearing down the hero on all fronts to the point that (you)'re basically just going through the motions until the finale Mana Core segment, which is the spark to that drives the rest of the cast into action when they see how truly hurt (you) are and it ultimately creates an actual alliance (albeit strained) unlike the faux one from before.
That might just be coincidence or the work of the new Malgor writer salvaging the arc to be fair, but I think it's really compelling.

Wrote this as a reply to your post >>3681046 but realized it had very little to do with it and was mainly me giving some insight about offtopic shit but I'm too retarded to delete any of it so..
AQW had four big "oh fuck"s around the time of Chaos Saga finale.
The first was writing the hero to be the dragon of time. I know some people like it but me personally I thought, and still think, it was a massive asspull that wrote themselves into a corner since now powerscaling is on a cosmic level, plus introducing a threat stronger than Drakath at the last minute (QoM).
Two was AE feeling in their hearts it was a good opportunity to move onto AQ3D as they've done before with their other games after major storyline finales. Problem was AQ3D was still grossly undercooked and didn't see a profit for several years, on a project they reallocated some of their main AQW driving force to work on.
Three, major employees jumping ship. Nulgath, Cysero, Beleen, Artix (technically since he seems to just fuck around or work on AQ3D), pretty sure Zhoom, Samba and Yorumi aren't there anymore either.
And four was NEVER releasing a mobile port. Don't even have to tell you how wildly successful it could've been had it released around 2012 like people begged, but as 2013 turned to 2014 and 2014 turned to 2024, well, we just never got it did we?
All four situations collided to form a massive buttfuckery moment that led to the AQW-Dark Ages where releases were stale, the story was totally directionless, servers were cut back and most players left. In a perfect world AQW would've ended, Mobile would've released funding AE for the foreseeable future and its players would've all moved onto AQ3D which would've been fun to play.

>>3681086
>The first was writing the hero to be the dragon of time. I know some people like it but me personally I thought, and still think, it was a massive asspull that wrote themselves into a corner since now
The EDoT stuff has been built up since like 2009 at least though, years before the ending of that saga. And it's not as if the Eternal Dragon is even the peak of the scaling in the lore, let alone the hero being capable of wielding that power 100% of the time. There was, and still is, threats stronger than the EDoT. Galanoth killed him in his prime for starters, and there are things like Kathool Atchoo that are implied to be incomprehensibly strong well before the reveal. Remember that we genuinely died against Drakath as well, we had to cheat death just to fight on even ground.

>introducing a threat stronger than Drakath at the last minute (QoM).
I mean, I would argue that the nature of Chaos and the fact that he's trying to open a Chaos Gate that existed well before his transformation implies that there always was something higher than Drakath right from the beginning. He obviously got the powers from somewhere else since he was initially resurrected by the amulet after losing. That Drakath doesn't really make any major decisions about the Chaos Lords or his "plan" implies that he's just following a script despite supposedly embodying Chaos, since they're already predetermined to become them even before the needlessly confusing Lords of Balance/Mirror Realm stuff.

Sadly the rest of your post while correct can be summed up as,
>Artix made a stupid business decision
We're doomed to be led by a passion first guy without any direction, being held together by duct tape and Brazilians. I wish he'd realise his shortcomings and step down as the lead like Steve did for Warframe. I really hoped Beleen coming back was a sign of the good times returning, but the only thing that changed was the writing and getting better fights.

The creation of AQ3D was a mistake in and of itself, especially with how bland the designs looked compared to the more expressive 2D characters in AQW. They should have started AQ2D a decade ago and ported Dragon Fable, not release some ugly and half baked game.

I'm just waiting for aq mobile.

I did a lot of storylines unlocking vhl/loo/ap/etc, and I slowly started going through the firewar chain (because I will need it for forge enchants later).

I also keep getting told that I need to start the ArchMage grind asap since it takes forever, but from what I've seen it takes you to so many post-storyline areas and I don't want to get spoiled without doing the story in order.

>Elegy of Madness
This might just be my favourite questline so far. I love the art direction.

>>3681739
On a side note, is Arcana Invoker any good? Looks like it's pretty grindy to get, but I've loved the areas for it.

>>3681630
https://www.aq.com/lore/guides/shadowsofwarsaga
This probably misses a few events, but it's the main beats at least. You should also cross reference that ingame main story quest thing in the book of lore even when it seems to deviate from QoM saga too, since it tackles some important stuff for later. For example Infernal Invasion has nothing to do with Queen saga really, but it does have relevance to the main story later iirc.

>also keep getting told that I need to start the ArchMage grind asap since it takes forever,
I mean, you could start with a few things now if you want but it's gated by a ton of Rank 10 reps, some of the quest lines you're specifically trying to do, various item collections, etc. Iirc it is probably simpler to leave until you have BLoD quests done to a certain point so you can get Brilliant Auras easier too.
Personally I would not bother at the moment and just do the storyline, occasionally stopping to farm the items you like in each story area. Save yourself the spoilers. Just make sure you do the friendship stuff every day so you can easily get a bunch of the materials (spirit orbs, dragon runestones, etc) and some money vouchers.

Also don't speed read that first link. There are spoilers if your eyes skim ahead.

>>3681760
>link
thanks anon, i'll try to follow that for the saga.

>rank 10 reps
with the 2x rep weekends and 2x rep boosts i grinded alot of 10 reps already
>BLoD
there was an event that increased gains for those quests by a ton, so i managed to get my very own BLoD in just a few days!

>friendship
is that very important to do? i once went into the area and it all confused me so i left. i didn't really understand all the items that i needed to rank up the friendships, or where to get them, and didn't have the bag space to hold them all.
are there any friendships i should focus on in particular?

>>3681872
>is that very important to do?
It's not mandatory, just handy since it's so easy. Literally just mass grind drops one day, then drop in to hand them their favourite one a day (you can just write it down on a note and only keep like 5 items in your inventory). Especially for people in certain circumstances.

>Drakath = 1 x 500k Voucher a day
>Mi = 1 x 100k Voucher a day
>Yulgar = 4 x 25k Vouchers a day
If you're at the true endgame this doesn't matter, but anywhere from early to starting all the big grinds this is really good for saving your actual money while still getting event items and other merges you want.

>Sally = 3x Dragon RuneStones
You need a bunch of these for Archmage. Either buy them with gold vouchers, or get them her for free.

>Maya = 1x Super Swag Token A
Basically a free 5000 rep before boosts daily for reps that you probably missed like everyone else, just stack em up and unload akll at once whenever the next rep boost day is.

>Brentan = 25 x Combat Trophies
So you don't have to do PVP or spend timecheesing PVP to get those items like the cool Beast Bludrut armour.

And so on. There's also Void Auras, Spirit Orbs, Unidentified 10 as well which help with certain grinds. And finally if you don't have the good Legion pets like me or haven't joined the Legion it's 100 Legion Tokens daily.

Here's the entire storyline in order from the official AE discord: https://pastebin.com/28wWQacC If anyone wants to clean it up they can.

>>3681740
Extremely good DPS, especially against higher HP enemies. Personally, it's my favorite class in the game.

>>3679430
I enjoy reading the story. I just don't really talk about it that much.

>>3679749
Sentinel feels great, getting 15k DPS with Smite. Slowing working towards Ravenous for it.
Will probably finish by next Oct since I don't have enough inventory space for Eternal Rest.

>>3681740
AI is good for HP sponges and repeat kills; Ultra Drago is easy so use insignias for the grindy parts.

>>3681927
Super Swag Token As can also be merged into The Collector, which is decent after the buff.

>>3641280 (OP)
>Do you have fond memories of their games?
Yeah, mostly from AQWorlds, but I also played others, like DragonFable.
But they got too grindy for me.
Also, Gravelyn a cute.

>>3641280 (OP)
https://edramatica.com/AQ_Worlds
Beleen tits.

>>3682295
that was a comfy read

which one of you is this?

>>3682465
I saw a screenshot of some kids recreating George Floyd's death in AQW

>>3651373
>Elysium - Excellent for many farming classes
Also good for magic & hybrid soloers, it's just most F2P soloers are physical.
Arcana Invoker, (Dark) Ultra Omni(K)Night, Elemental Warrior, DroT all benefit.

>>3681630
They also added flavour/lore text to temporary items, which is not on the wiki.

>>3682465
Lmao I saw that as well in Yorumi, is this guy room/server hopping too?

>>3681630
The literal big bad of the first decade of game development died off screen and the Angel/Demon war was supposed to be somehow related but that turned out to be a an abandoned storyline.

Malgor was just too long winded and was the exact premise of 13CL saga.

>>3641280 (OP)
How long would it take to beat the entire game? Last I played Adventure Quest was in 2011 and I always wanted to try and "finish" the game.

>>3684302

>>3684302
>>3684328

wait is robina blind now? wjhat happened

>>3684377
Lost her eyesight because she shot a magic arrow at Queen Iona in order to stop her.

>>3684302
It would probably take you a week or two of nonstop playing to go through the entire main storyline.

>>3684386
More like a month just to get an endgame class then do the main storyline since there are a lot of bosses/mobs that are super tough and were designed for multiple player parties during its release.

what am i supposed to spend gold on? the only time it ever mattered was buying some of the items for vhl.
do i just buy the ~15 minute elixirs?

>>3681630
Join /garden to do the Darkon saga then never touch the game again. Don't even bother with the QoM shit or Malgor's saga, both are such a boring slog with awful awful quests.

>>3684712
>The Hero gets to fuck this

>Yulgar went "I can fix her" and actually did it
>>3684734
Yeah, pretty much.

>>3684712
It's such a shame in a game full of top tier waifus we never got a band of autists to create an eroge out of them

>>3684712
Sex

>used a 5k AC donation I recieved and the remaining saved up to get Paladin Chronomancer because I thought it would make Ultra Bosses a lot easier
>find out it’s useful for only one single ultra boss that nobody fights
I should’ve never doubted you Arch Paladin

>>3685332
>5k AC donation
how did you do it bro... i have a grand total of 250 AC from the event so far... here's hoping i get some more before it ends so i can join legion

I am once again begging AE to add banks to houses. Yes, the designs have consistently been pretty good BUT where's all the banks & customizers? Only reason I use Shadowfall Fortress is because it has all three, which I don't wanna because I'm getting kind of sick of it and would like to use my banked Bright Fortress or even today's Midnight Nulgath Castle. Shadowfall Fortress also has the most rooms out of any house in the game, has two NPC's and even the Evil rep shop. Please give me a good reason to use literally any other house. Please even just give us a hub house like the Thanos one but instead of each portal leading to a room it takes players to different maps, /yulgar, /battleon, etc.

>>3685015
Because they hire every single good fan artist and poach them out of creating any fan content.

>>3685503
just open the map bro lmao
takes 3 clicks to go to either bank, yulgar or battleon

>>3685655
this. it's literally faster to just go to the bank in battleon than the one in your house. only downside is having to mute the repetitive music if you have sound on.

>>3685334
Luck I guess this is the only gifting event where I get anything.
>>3685503
There are a bunch of houses with banks but they’re mostly shit designed or have low room count. I recommend toe once to allow us to customise any house we own to include banks/customisers and portals or even more rooms for some AC price but they said that’s never gonna happen.

Just fell back into Dragonfable the other week, so was kinda cool to see this thread.
Haven't kept track of their new games since Mech Quest - anything worth poking at?

>>3686106
DragonFable and AQW are their main ones, really.

>>3684734
Buying dragon runestones for alchemy is cheaper, but basically yes.
There's also Fiend Shard/Ravenous and some items costs 500k Vouchers.
Though you can get a free daily 500k Voucher from Drakath's Friendship.

>>3686106
>>3677716
AQW, AQ3D, DF are the main three, with AQW being the FOMO cash cow.
They have also periodically released some mobile and NES games:
https://theretroverse.com/profile/24/ and https://artixgames.itch.io/
Apparently Artix made an AI game? Based boss mogging his employees.

Remember HeroSmash?
Honestly out of all the old and dead games they're keeping alive I'm surprised this is the one they decided to kill, since it was their only AQW clone

>>3686182
>Apparently Artix made an AI game? Based boss mogging his employees.
In this cursed Musk timeline Dage got replaced by Dahleet

>>3685015
Methinks Artix could have created an animated series with the sheer amount of artists they had in the crew back then. That would've boomed the popularity, unlike AQW3D

>>3679500
I also view Doomwood as the peak of golden age AQW. It had a titanic amount of "legacy" lore condensed into a single regional arc, and a secondary one at that since everything was being sidelined to set up the Chaos Lords plotline at the time. The stakes were so high that teenager me feared Artix was gonna die for real kek. Beware of extreme nostalgia-inducing picture.
>>3679719
Haven't played AQW for some time but I hear the Darkon Saga is pretty good too, I wonder if anyone bothered to do a proper essay reviewing it.

>>3686814
>I wonder if anyone bothered to do a proper essay reviewing it.
I haven't watched his Darkon Saga video yet but: https://youtube.com/@bonaquador
No one was doing any decent AQW videos, especially on the stories/quests, so he decided to do it himself. It's a shame, since I really enjoyed his videos but he says he probably won't make more since he's primarily a viewer.

>>3686222
>tfw the one game I had Alpha items in is the one that gets shutdown
The universe is cruel.

>>3687026
Alright I watched it, the saga seems pretty much AQW-meets-Evangelion moment with the themes being very avant-garde and divorcing completely from the ordinary fantasy tropes I had in mind. Also it was mildly surprising to learn Darkon wasn't the new lead writer for the story but rather just the artist; goes to show how AE can do well when they borrow fresh talent.

Think DF is safe for the time being?
Was considering fulfilling one of child me's wishes and buying Doomknight.

>>3687398
It's one of their two pillars. It's highly unlikely to be shut down.

I'm ready for Nulgath's birthday.

>>3687671
when is his birthday?

>>3687706
Jan 16th.

Finally reached the 15 years milestone for a free IODA. I'm having a bad time choosing between so many rehashed pirate treasure chests though, maybe it's best if I save it for upcoming collections like Nulgath's

>>3688396
Nulgath chests are dogshit even the ones that got contributed by Milt. AE can’t decide if they want this faction to be Insectiods, Demons or yet another undead faction.

>>3687671
I wonder if they’ll add another endgame item like the last one.

>>3688791
Even the more recent Nation armor sets scream 2009 and shoo away anyone devoid of Nulgrindgath sunk cost from touching them, while Legion's have such a dark color palette you get bad eyesight from trying to notice the details without setting your screen brightness to 100.
But for some reason their capes and swords are almost always good

>trying to do all quests
>get questline that needs you to pvp in a dead arena
>get questline that needs 3 players to progress through to the next step
it's all so tiresome...

>>3689424
Just have friends LOSER

>>3689586
let me play my story mode without having to talk to people

>>3689662
Then get yourself a secondary

Dagefags this is you

>>3689424
Just do what every other player does and make alt accounts, PVP is broken anyway when everyone just uses Chrono classes or health % based damage classes.
>>3689662
Then just play Dragon Fable the superior game

Yup, Our heroes....

>>3690208
an alt account is okay, but needing 3 (three) accounts to get through a step in a quest is absurd.
>Dragon Fable
too much of the game is gated behind a paywall. in AQW i can do 90% of the quests as f2p

>>3690280
Which quest requires 3 players? Besides the Ultra Bosses literally everything can be soloed even with a mid tier class.

>>3690484
J6 questline. Need 2 people to press the buttons so the 3rd person can go past instakill turrets. Leaving the room after pressing a button resets it.

>>3690656
>get rustbucket class and use the skill to make yourself immune to damage
>get a class with range skills and kill off the turrets and sprint to the other screen before they respawn
>get an evasion class and max out your evasion thereby being able to bypass the turrets
There now you don’t need friends or ults

>>3689424
>>3690656
>Here you'll need to use the Potion of Evasion and Oracle's Foretell ability, or your dodge class, to pass by the turrets without dying.
>Still filtered by turrets in 2025 when we have a gazillion dodge classes, easy potions, forge helmets, and a linked guide: >>3641288
Also, end-game soloers can just tank that damage. Combat Trophies can be farmed without PvP, unless you mean non-Legion YnR.

>>3690900
>>3690905
The turrets aren't enemies so I just assumed it was unavoidable instakill damage, like in some other areas in the game. Then again, I was wearing my anima helm.
I'll have to try again with some buffs.

Also >>3690905 I meant the PvP tokens/trophies from Doomwood Arena. Is there a way to solo farm those? From what I can see it just puts you in a queue against other players, and you have to wait until it finds a match for you.

>>3690986
Don’t bother with the PvP mechanics and just use an alt account. Go to a private room/server and Que up with your ult.

Keep in mind the remaining players in PVP are giga number autists so even if you actually find matches prepare to be one shotted a lot.

>>3691078
???
Just run bludrutbrawl a couple of times. You can do it completely alone and get five to ten medals iirc like every two minutes.

>>3691091
There are specific endgame items that you can only get after completing a couple of PVP in doomwood arena and nowhere else.

>>3691144
Which ones? I thought I'm only missing like RGoW and Dauntless and shit you need to do ultras for. I'm pretty sure that if it's a dmg boost item you can get the same % somewhere else easier.

>no more commission artists allowed in the game
I guess pink and insectoid armor sets are all there is gonna be now

>>3691260
Empowered Nulgath Items come to mind then again you’d only want those if you’re a Nation fag
>>3691410
To be fair players have been complaining about commissioned art for a while it’s always either too anime or too overdesigned like the devoured of gods set.

>>3691628
>too anime or too overdesigned
I don't see how this is a problem. AQW has gone far too long to have a consistent art design at this point.

>>3689424
Hah at least that’s doable even in a cheesy way, I’ll never do the Sepulchre armour quests because it’s locked behind membership.

>>3691628

New Good faction class confirmed. What do we think it's gonna be?
https://www.aq.com/gamedesignnotes/AQW-6Jan24-DevBlog4-9832

>>3693521
Probably another shitty support class like all the other Good faction classes. AE will never outshine VHL or LR, and players will never break from the Ultra boss meta comp

>>3694293
Isn't VHL shit for most Ultras?

>>3694293
People are just going to abandon the room if you try to join with VHL, it has become a glorified vitrine class in the current endgame. LR on the other hand is very disgusting since it has never left the meta and every other class in the game orbits it.

>>3694925
>glorified vitrine class
I come back after two years and this is how I find out VHL is a meme? I farmed my NSOD and everything.

>>3695412
As a consolation prize you get to skip one sliver of Ravenous grinding since it's a prerequisite

>>3695412
It's still a great class for solo play, but its lack of any sort of utility usually leaves it in the dust. Other classes can reach similar DPS while also providing a bunch of party buffs.

>>3695444
>>3695445
Ah well it's not like I bothered playing properly after I finished the chaos story.

>>3695456
Check out Astravia and try to reach the finale of Malgor's saga.

https://twitter.com/YoshinoAE/status/1877963352250462394
PSA: Essences & Totems boost until the 16th and Gold boost until the 15th.
They still haven't updated the calendar and daily gifts have been missing for months.

>>3693521
Probably a Jus Divinum class since they're a major faction in both of the main stories.
>We still want to continue with class reworks as well, with the next one up being Berserker
You do have Beta Zerker or membership right? Don't tell me you IoDA'd Alpha Pirate...
>We're looking into potential changes for Ravenous to better differentiate it from Valiance
Ravenous nerf and just like Dauntless it's a year after release, get fucked early adopters.

>>3695412
>>3695445
Other classes either need grindy enhancements and/or are P2W, see: >>3682204
VHL got it's skills' range nerfed too, which makes it annoying to use for general quests.
>>3694925
To be precise, LoO+LR is very strong, +20% all primary stats and Depravity is insane.
AE refuses to nerf them and pussyfoot around it with debuffs to remove Arcane Shield.

>check the wiki on a daily basis to see if there’s a new monstergirl pet/ house item.
So this is what it feels like to play a gacha
>>3695457
Malgor storyline is shit

Alright I've had this happen to me thrice today: Is taunt trolling a thing? Some people stop taunting just in time for me and other players to get oneshot by a Nulgath with 10% hp left and they reap the kill before we respawn.

>>3695587
I’ve seen taunt trolling in ultra rooms but most of the time I think it’s just players being overconfident so they skip taunts.

>>3695587
I think it's probably just poor internet connections leading to missed taunts.

>>3695542
>Malgor storyline is shit
You're shit, cunt

Every time I join yulgar I get to see a dude afking with his male main acc and four female alts around him to make it appear like a samefag pseudo-harem. I don't condemn botting with alts for content but AFK alting (on none other than Artix server) should be a punishable offense since players have to usually wait minutes for a free slot to join in the only quest-active server after a carpal-tunnel-inducing rush of compulsory clicks to refresh its availability.

>>3696890
why do they keep lowering the playercount per server reeeeeeeee
let me do my ultras LET ME INTO THE MAIN SERVER

>>3696890
Buy a membership, goy

So is there any way to stop the lag in AQW? Some people claim that they don't get any lag at all, but I have a relatively good PC and but have to disable most effects (and not go full screen) so that I don't have to look at a slideshow.

>>3697065
It is entirely the processor that matters for AQW, nothing else.

Thoughts? The Rockstar armor is awfully overlooked for being a free set

>>3697153
I don't play a woman character because I'm not a homo so can't comment

>>3697082
I have an Intel Core i7-11800H processor and it struggles when there's a lot of players/effects on screen. Apparently the game only uses one core, too?

>>3697153

>Like female armor more than male
>Character is male
>Sex change is 1000 ACs
>Worried if I spend it I'll want to use certain male armors instead like Beta Berzerker
I am once again begging AE to change the AC sex change cost into gold or some farmable item. "lmao poorfag" i have 8k ACs, this is a matter of principle and wanting to spend that on other shit.

>>3697383
Just make an alt to play dress up. One less random you have to worry about in public rooms if you end up leveling it up.

>>3697190
>how to assemble a quick party at yulgar [2025 method]
>>3697383
You can have your cake and eat it too. Plenty of non-human sets coincidentally happen to be genderless (or have ambiguous variants in case of Nation) so even a female character can switch to male-ish entities of doom whenever without spending a dime.

>>3697383
I don't mind the idea of male armors most of the time.
I just hate how a lot of otherwise good armors get fucking grossly oversized for the males to the point of being ugly and cumbersome looking as shit.

>>3697383
No, your characters gender should be permanent upon creation otherwise it would make your decisions meaningless.

>>3697383
Eh? This bland as fuck shit is what you're holding out for? Move on, boomer

>>3697778
This is easily one of the coolest armors in the game anon

the virgin alpha pirate vs the chad beta berserker

When will people realize that IoDAing alpha classes will not make you join the cool grandpas club. When you use something gotten from IoDA it is not prestigious in the "I've been there" sense, it's IoDA tagged. You're just conveying to everyone the extent of your frustrations to get a class that won't be equipped outside Yulgar because it sucks. At least get something functional like a new 51% sword or a vast array of customization from chests.

>>3697954
>waaah waaah why do people get the items that THEY want

I remember playing AQW very briefly when it was still in open alpha or open beta or some development version, but never touched it since, since I remember trading my AQW character away for Roblox shit since I had items you couldn't obtain anymore at the time.

is AQW worth playing in 2025?

>>3698585
And is there seriously no bday farm pet? What the fuck.

>>3698805

>>3698805
>is AQW worth playing in 2025?
artix games are all worth playing imo, albeit they do get very grindy later on. aqw is probably the best game for f2p, since you can do almost everything that there is to do.

Did you guys beat the new super boss?

>>3698809

Miltonius has condemned you to wander in the void of faggotry forevermore.

>>3698794
It's known that AQ3D has been brain draining Miltonius for a while, so at the same time AE made him rush out all the AQW anniversary gear + boss drops in lightning speed that's why everything feels so bland and barebones; They can't keep themselves from allocating artists to a failed 3d game in the hopes that people will choose to play it over FFXIV! The hubris, after all these mistakes Artix has learned nothing from the past decade and will keep doubling down on failed profit ventures rather than investing in their one and only safe niche

>>3699313
I agree, There are tons of mmo games of various genres that are available on PC and mobile. Why play AQ3D when you can play something like FFXIV, WoW, Diablo, Genshin Impact or War Thunder?

>>3699313
>It's known that AQ3D has been brain draining Miltonius for a while
>known
The only thing I know is that Milton quit AE ages ago and he only makes a couple sets for his birthday on AQW (while the rest is commisioned or done by other staff), he should have 0 involvement in AQ3D. Dude is making his own games.

>>3699313
Retardo Milt has never worked on AQ3D, the dude has his own separate company and game.

>>3699351
Well AQ3D is free, has an entirely different tone and it doesn’t have any of the usual bullshit the communities you mentioned have.

>>3699427
Milt has left AE but still works on AQW and AQ3D occasionally, the latter being animations in the face of the latest Nulgath expansion, although you would need to ask him directly to know how active he gets to be in the project.

>>3699351 #
There is also that fuckhuge riot MMO looming in the horizon. Again, if I was Artix and I was able to see two meters ahead of my schnooze I would just pull out of the 3D fantasy MMO colosseum matches, its no place for smol indie company. Just revert to basics and capitalize in your market. Maybe make MechQuest Worlds if they're really desperate for a new project so they can distance themselves from all the proper fantasy MMOs.
>>3699428 #
>bullshit communities
The first thing AQ3D players recommend newbies do is immediately join a discord server since the playerbase is too sparse and scarce to even do high-level content at random timezones. That alone makes it way worse than the plug-and-play-with-a-random alternatives

I have never played AQW3D, the things I've seen and heard from it just make it seem lackluster in every regard, and it feels like AA is focusing so many resources on it, which like >>3699313 says feels like a waste since it doesn't seem to fill any niche unlike their 2D games. If Infinity ever releases, we'll have to wait another decade for them to re-add already existing content, since the team will be split between that, AQW (since they will keep it up), and AQW3D.

But surely they're not just beating a dead horse? Can someone who actually plays AQW3D offer some input? Does the game have a good amount of players? If they're insistent on releasing more and more content for it, then it surely must be turning a profit?

>>3699618
>Can someone who actually plays AQW3D offer some input?
I played the first couple of iterations of the game, and have dipped in a few times over the years too. My original experience was that it's AQW kill X mob quests in a 3D environment, but if you got to what little could be called endgame then like event bosses and stuff and you'd have to assemble a party in chat... That was awfully like the old school MMO experience many games lack these days.
Since then questing has only gotten worse, and grinds are either bots or zergs or both. There are too many areas but they all feel like you're doing the same shit over and over and over again, and the clunky feeling 3D gives it only makes it more tedious. At least AQW is convenient, in the way that it's more convenient to push a boulder up a hill if there isn't someone constantly poking you with a stick.

>>3699618
AQ3D is pretty much AQW but with the clunkiness of cheap 3d traveling/combat and next to none of the visual benefits a 3D engine could deliver.

To hammer the point home here's this brand new collage: Pic 1 is the "grand entrance" of the iconic Greenguard Forest in AQ3D (a 2016 mmo) and Pic 2 is some random area in Cactakara Forest from Aura Kingdom (a 2013 mmo). Just what motive in this accursed earth could bring me to play the former when there are so many more enticing alternatives out there?

Does anyone even like Milt shit? "Hurrr but de nostalgia" fuck off it looks awful these days and you can't mix any of it with other sets. I'm not paying 1.5k AC on a single armor that looks like crap and doesn't intermix well with literally anything outside of its set.

>>3699942
Why are you even buying new armors in the first place?
You should have so many by now that you could wear a different set every day and still not repeat.

>>3699942
His style changed for his game Akumi Wars. These new free and paid sets are basically Akumi style crossover sets.

>>3699942
Miltonius designs are really good, but he never tries at all in AQW and obviously they don't let him be as horny despite having a literal Ahegao face as a book of lore unlock and many other examples of fetish stuff.

>>3699942
It's more a matter of Miltonius having to hold back his ideas than truly bad art. In his patreon and you will see a lot of good designs he couldn't put in the games because AE is very normative on how they want characters to look like. So he went on to create a new game studio because because that would give him more freedom over design patterns.

>>3700338
Childish faces with those bodies are so weird. But yeah, I hope he uses his coomer technique to make a male protag game with dating sim elements. Some of his designs are pretty sex

>>3700439
Dating sims are the biggest piece of dogshit, you want romance go get a girlfriend. An unleashed Milt should go full on rapist male protagonist like all previous porn he made.

Newfag here, why is this thread full of Miltonius glazers? His art doesn't seem particularly outstanding to me (I feel like Darkon-related art is a lot better).
I heard that apparently he made Tercessuinotlim back in the day, and it was the best area in the game (before it got remade)? Did he do anything beyond that, or is he just >based because he does loli stuff?

>>3700665
Miltonius used to be one of the best artists back in the day with a ton of good designs from the unique demon styles to the paladin gear, his "faction" stuff was very much a big contrast to other designs that were available back then in terms of how they're drawn and the variety of styles available. Nowadays not so much because of the sheer amount of items released, but in the beginning striking designs like his weren't the norm. Not only that, but he is one of the origin points for the game's entire art style and his art + inspiration from it is seen to this day in AQW. The man had a massive impact on this game, iirc down to even the template character models being based on his work. You've unknowingly seen his influence in every storyline because a lot of the animal designs and common armour styles stems from him too.

Tercessuinotlim was also approximately the beginning of the super hard to get stuff before it became the norm to have endlessly boring "grinding to grind grinding materials inorder to grind other stuff you need to grind the item you actually want's material" of today's items so there was some perceived value in possessing his items (AQWfags love rares, hard to get items and recoloured pirate outfits) just like today's stuff, but it also has an edge for nostalgia sake like honouring the old guard you could say and the novelty of figuring out the secret stuff at the time. That was essentially the first time they started messing with maps in-depth or really making quests interesting at all too, so it's doubly impactful for people who were there upon it's release.
Also Miltonius is still technically one of the best equipment artists even if his work is lacklustre lately because zero of the "main" artists with their own factions at AE is capable of using more than one colour scheme (to be fair to Dage he's colour blind I guess).

tl;dr Nulgath influenced a lot of AQWnfrom it's aesthetics to the gameplay. His work is the foundation of AQW.

>>3700871
>"what if we made a whole faction of SCARY TOOTHED EDGEPUNK ANUS MONSTERS"
>nulgath aesthetics
Sounds a lot like the pot calling the kettle black, no? Nulgath is edgy too.
Darkon's edgelord, anime-inspired art isn't perfect, but I do like a lot of it - like the tarot-inspired elements and monsters he has. I also like the outfits/weapons having stars/crosses in some way to tie them all together.

>>3700926
TY for giving an actual response.
>down to even the template character models being based on his work
Seeing his other work, I assumed that AQW inspired his artwork, not the other way around. I didn't realise his art was the literal foundation of the game.
>Also Miltonius is still technically one of the best equipment artists
I had to check out his equipment sets on the wiki, and it turns out that so far I've mostly been exposed to his earlier sets. Maybe the reason I wasn't a huge fan of his equipment was because seeing the old armours (which have single/dual tones with little to no shading, or follow very similar templates) felt very jarring and out of place for a modern player.

>>3701215
>Sounds a lot like the pot calling the kettle black, no?
I am not the one claiming one is better than the other, if anything both artists suffer from the "comfort zone" aesthetic where you have 999 archfiend clone sets and 999 red tentacle clone sets that aren't any more distinct than the next, Darkon just seems like the fresher guy here 'cause his art is boosted by modern art software while huge bulk of Miltonius' maps and gear were dug out of early 2010 photoshop techniques

>>3701458
>I am not the one claiming one is better than the other
It's just a matter of my preference, I didn't mean to say that Darkon's art is objectively better.
>Darkon just seems like the fresher guy here
This might be apart of the reason why I prefer Darkon's art. It feels fresher to a lot of what we have now, and doesn't exactly follow pre-existing templates tit for tat. Having played through his questline, it felt like a lot of the designs broke the mould, so they caught my eye compared to a lot of the other art in the game.
Of course, I had no idea that a large part of the templates/bases were literally made by Milt.
>if anything both artists suffer from the "comfort zone" aesthetic where you have 999 archfiend clone sets and 999 red tentacle clone sets that aren't any more distinct than the next
I fully expect Darkon's sets to have a lot of repetitive bloat in the future. It feels kind of inevitable in AQW. For now, I'm enjoying what we have.
>Miltonius' maps and gear were dug out of early 2010 photoshop techniques
This was my impression of Milts' gear, having mostly seen his 2010s gear. I played through the newly released questline just now and I really like the new Nulgath-realted gear (not sure if he made it, or if it's just faction-related gear made by the team?)
Ironically, the new craftable Nulgath gear pairs very nicely with Darkon gear.

>>3701215
>Sounds a lot like the pot calling the kettle black, no? Nulgath is edgy too.
Not really, Nulgath has a huge amount of variety even in his fiend style sets. Albeit I don't know if Darkon gets sets other than his faction often, so I won't cast stones his way.

>I didn't realise his art was the literal foundation of the game.
He's not the sole inspiration or anything like that, but he did have a big influence and did a lot of common designs that have been reskinned over the years. Also he's the guy who made young (you) play Dragonfable.

>Maybe the reason I wasn't a huge fan of his equipment was because seeing the old armours (which have single/dual tones with little to no shading, or follow very similar templates) felt very jarring and out of place for a modern player.
Modern AQW shading is lame anyway, just look at how they butchered the redesigns of older monsters in AQW Infinity. Shocking stuff.

>>3701629
>just look at how they butchered the redesigns of older monsters in AQW Infinity
A reminder I didn't need. Sadly, I'll probably still play Infinity since it promises stable FPS, which AQW can't offer. If it ever releases, that is.

>>3701749
>That's just Toga's default face all the time
...which is based on the Yandere ahegao face.

>>3701737
>Also fuck you Artix, this isn't enough to get me to buy 1,000,000acs.
I always craved this face morph but there's no way I'm paying this much either. Have you seen those frostval donor bonuses? The top three tiers are likewise pretty great but the fact they're locked behind +100$ unlocks only shows AE prefer to restrict their ingenious designs to some 0.1% whale fashion lmao

>>3701765
If it weren't for the "remasterized" monster reveals I would never guess AE was forcing their artists into hamster wheels to perform shading sidegrades on old mobs till the end of time. Someone gotta tell them frogzard reskins won't bring more players, but new mechanics and long promised qol will.

>People vote for Class Hall house under the assumption it'll come with training dummies

>>3702210
I've honestly spent a decent amount of money on this game (something like 5 years of membership and 250,000acs) and donated a lot last gifting event because I got a new higher paying job, but it does get ridiculous. Especially since a lot of the Book of Lore rewards drop off in quality for a long while at my tier of whalefagging, for example the next bump up for an extra 50k acs is just swordhaven mansion. One that's way worse than the swordhaven castle I already got for the years played badges.

It feels like being a free player in modern AQW would be pure hell with all these great AC items and member exclusive stuff coming out (almost) every week while there's hardly any F2P stuff, but I'm probably a biased richfag now and misremembering what it was like scrounging up anything free no matter what it was and dealing with no inventory space.
Don't tell Artix, but I snagged a ton of AC items that were accidentally released as Gold items before they were patched by spawn camping server restarts, stuff like Fire Dancer's armour + weapons.

>>3702285
I voted undergorund lab, fuck anything related to class hall aka youtuber video hubs

>>3702449
I voted for that too. If they left the AE staff NPC's there too it would've been incredible.

>>3702327
>It feels like being a free player in modern AQW would be pure hell with all these great AC items and member exclusive stuff coming out (almost) every week while there's hardly any F2P stuff
My experience as F2P in modern AQW hasn't really been that bad. You get a lot of cool items just from doing certain questlines, or farming events for the merge rewards. It's kind of a bummer when you can't get a cool looking item because it costs ACs or is members-only, but I'm still able to make sets that I like, and I can still progress and get decent classes via grind (albeit, some grinds are soul-crushing since they can take over a month purely because they're time-gated).
The biggest downside of being F2P so far has been not being able to join Legion, which I hear is a major part of the game with all of the legion token grinds, story, and the LR class (which looks like one of the stronger classes in the game).

The trick to playing F2P is to not get items that aren't AC-tagged, since you won't have any storage space. Finding out that you can store an infinite amount of AC-tagged items in your band was a godsend.
Also I joined around the time they gave out free bag slots, which helped me a ton.

>>3702456
>The biggest downside of being F2P so far has been not being able to join Legion
You actually CAN join the legion as F2P, there are two methods:

>Guaranteed method
>have an one year old account without bans and win 500 acs + honorable player badge
>do cyzero's yearly available quest for extra 500 acs
>1000 + the 200 acs you get on account creation is just about enough to purchase the legion armor

>frostval gifting method
>sign up for frostval event early on
>end up with 1.2k acs if you're unlucky

>>3702570
>You actually CAN join the legion as F2P
Yeah, it's just very time-gated on the yearly free handouts. I was a noob who spent my 200 AC from account creation so I only have the 500 AC from Cysero's yearly reward and 250 AC from Frostval gifts.
It sounds like my best-case scenario is waiting another 9 months before I can join Legion?

>>3702456
>The biggest downside of being F2P so far has been not being able to join Legion
You don't need legion membership for the story parts, and many legion items are just drops or unrelated merge shops if you like the style. Its not a mandatory thing really, although it is technically one of the better AC value purchases I guess. Sadly you missed the easiest Legion farming pets and the Dage vs Nulgath war where non legion players could earn tokens.
Also if you ever get lucky you could just use an IODA for Legion Revenant, not like they really have any actual value outside of maybe a handful of rare quest pets that make some grinds easier.

>The trick to playing F2P is to not get items that aren't AC-tagged, since you won't have any storage space.
That only helps out so much, once you start doing stuff like Nulgath grinds or Archmage you'll be crying for bag space because there's so many drops you need to store. It basically locks you into grinding one "big" grind at a time, which used to be extremely frustrating. Even as a buyfag my inventory is currently 1/5th locked off with non AC materials and potions/scrolls.

>>3702603
>It sounds like my best-case scenario is waiting another 9 months before I can join Legion?
Ballyhoo probably still gives out scrap ACs for watching ads and stuff if you're really desperate. Maybe.

>new rare quest pet released
>it’s literally just the same set located in the collection but not CC and with incredibly shitty base colors
It’s just all so tiresome the set is already dogshit but now that it’s free (rare) it significantly lowers the value of the collection chest.

>>3703775
Collection chests don't really have value though, they're just a marketing ploy like pricing things $9.99. How many times have you actually spent 10k acs in a single shop, let alone wanted every single thing in it? I'd wager fairly rarely, maybe at good anniversary events.
And it doesn't devalue anything, it is just an alternative route of getting a similar but worse item for players who don't whale, the Rare drop still exists as a separate and better item for people who unironically care about rare item cred to gloat over. If anything you should be bitching about how the AC CC version devalues the work players did to get the quest pet and farm it, or that the quest pet isn't Awesome Rarity.

Great waifu. The Zelda of the franchise almost, though they should build up Aria, Robina, Valeria, and the two dragon priestesses in early game Dragonfable.

Unironically Artix Entertainment needs to release something that puts them back on the map. A $30ish game with the quality of Skyrim or something. I don't know if they have enough ambition or cash in the tank though. Artix has got to be 50ish at this point.

>>3713766
I've said it for years; they have (or 'had') the resources to start making actual game releases for a full decade now, they have the art skills, the technical know how, the company, everything, to put out a priced single player console/pc RPG and yet they still flounder around with MMO's that haven't peaked since 2012. They NEED to make a big hitter and fast while they're still in business, otherwise all those wonderful artists they have on the back burner are going elsewhere.

>>3714172
I would love it if they just remade Dragon Fable as a full game/RPG. But no, baiting FOMO is much easier and more profitable so no games set in lore besides cheap shit mobile ones and Artix's autistic pet projects

>>3713766
Werepyres were central to the Darkovia plot line
Unless you just meant the class.

>>3713766
I highly disagree, Anon. People playing AQW when Gravelyn was introduced were there to play it *because* they played other AE games. Hell, maybe all of them. I did. Gravelyn was already waifuable when AE didn't bend over themselves backwards to bait with a romantic plot they were never gonna commit to anyway, and it was because you had a basis of comparison and because she had the connection to Sepulchure and the Shadowschyte at large. And for teenage boys evil is cool. Whatever's been going on with her since the Drakath finale is bad fanservice, but that doesn't take away from her history. Now the Drakon girls though...

>suddenly bans suggestive art from your one half-active online space
I'll have to dig up some obscure X posts to see fanarts now with the fandom atomized under the pretense that AQW somehow still has its early 2010s teen playerbase. What the fuck?

I've never heard anyone under 25 talk about Artix stuff. Like most browser games its a millennial and very early zoomer thing.

>>3758831
I tried to reason with the mod but the reply I received can be boiled down to:
>in-game ESRB ratings must be enforced in fansubs
Also the gratuitous shitting on nsfw artists at the end lmao what a bitter prick.

>>3758862

Lol

>>3758867
I know. But I met some impressive artists there whose work I ended up commissioning later, and I also see them using that place from time to time to self-advetise. It's more of a complaint done out of empathy than just being upset at Reddit for being

I didn't even realize BattleOn was still around, damn, interesting thread. That's a blast to the past. Might go boot up my old Adventure Quest account. Curious, does this thread mostly play AQ or other games? I never really got into AQW or DragonFable.

I do remember being a kid when the space game whatever it was called came out and being absolutely tortured because we went to my Grandma's for a week with no computers when it came out and then being totally disappointed at the lack of content when I got home and realizing I should value time with my family.

>>3759019
When I was a kid, I liked Dragonfable more. Maybe since I was playing it since the beginning, unlike AQ. But now as an adult, I look back much more fondly on AQ.

>>3759019
DragonFable and AQW are probably the most played games. I know there are a few MechQuest anons

>>3759104
Some of the early grinds in Mechquest filtered a lot of people. Its pretty easy to get overpowered now though, so its a quick play through to see the story.

>>3641280 (OP)
Destroyer Saga was my childhood and I continue to jam to Warcry regularly. God I miss peak AE. They've gotten better since I was a kid but everything about the games felt different back then.

>Thread is almost seven months old

Sepulchure bros.. we're infertile..

>>3764667
they're not honestly about to retcon Gravelyn are they?

>>3764679
I don't think it'll be a hard retcon, but Gravelyn will probably end up being a magic baby. It feels almost spiteful for the current writer to literally castrate Sepulchure on top of the metaphorical one he got from Drakath.

>>3764712
That's what I meant. And it's just stupid. She's the only one who hears Sepulchure's soul fragments or whatever whisper to her. If you want to say that's the doomblade then it has no business talking to a being of just pure fucking light, or there's no way a champion of light would hear it. Isn't it that Artix can bind souls so well because he's predisposed to it, being the champion of darkness, but he has no knowledge whatsoever of what the realm of darkness gurus and Vorder are up to because he can't otherwise be contacted by them? I guess we're going back on champion lore too? Yeah we can say Sepulchure didn't try contacting anyone else because muh Shadowschyte but why make an assumption when it had a perfect explanation already? And in DragonFable doesn't Sepulchure only not murder the baby in its sleep because he LITERALLY FEELS his own humanity in her or something? Not metaphorically "oh well I guess I'm a father now" I mean sure we can say he just imagined it despite having no emotions at that point. And why the everloving FUCK would you take away from Gravelyn the strongest part of her backstory that she's pretty much just a normal human being who was raised by Sepulchure and so she's both a fucking killer machine and a socially awkward little girl?

tl;dr holy shit I'm mad Chuckles btfoing Noxus made more sense than this

I want to play this again (starting from scratch), and was wondering how to progress smoothly into endgame. What classes, items, dailies, etc. should I aim for while leveling?

>>3767503
Which game, AQW? If you wanna just powerlevel then go to a populated server and /join shadowbattleon, but you probably want to get some exp boost items. I think Arcane Blade of Glory is the easiest to get early, but eventually you'll wanna get the Cape of Awe instead so you can switch to a damage boosting item like the Burning Blade of Abazeth.

Class-wise I honestly don't know what meta for levelling these days. Something with multitarget and a decent heal. I guess Archfiend or Shaman? I'm not sure how early you can get Light Caster and Scarlet Sorceress. But eventually you'll want to get something like Arcana Invoker, Legion Revenant, Void Highlord, or Chaos Avenger. There are some more honorable mentions like Dragon of Time and Archmage. Most of these require you to have done several storylines and then grind for them.

The weapon situation is pretty much the same you'll want to get a +30% and then +40% and then +51% weapon as early as you can. You can do the easier ultra bosses with randoms to get one easily, or you can grind for stuff like NSoD. You can technically do all of this without paying a cent, maybe with the exception of Legion Revenant. You'll eventually also want to get the Blade of Awe just so you can use awe weapon enchants.

If you just want to go through the story it doesn't really matter what gear you have, you get plenty of exp for a good while. But you'll still want to get a class that multitarget well, and one that can do bosses well. For the latter technically there is Oracle, but you'll be there for a long time.

The endgame is really just doing all the grinds until you have all the boost items you can stack, and doing all the Forge enchants like Valiant, Ravenous, and Dauntless for max DPS.

>>3641280 (OP)
I do have fond memories, yes. I sometimes feel like giving them a shot again in some way, but I fear they can't possibly live up to what I recall and would rather let the pleasant nostalgia remain.
I also have memories of having four separate accounts banned because I absolutely cheated the fuck out of it, because they were too retarded to properly block user-side alterations until later, so that was pretty funny.

>>3767529
AQW, yeah. Also, thank you for the information, anon.

sorry lads i mixed up my shitposting

>>3767529
You can get Scarlet Sorceress at level 50, IIRC. Before, you can only get the nerfed Blood Sorceress version.
I think ArchMage is the best farming class in the game, but the quest is LOOOOOOONG

>>3770636
>Scarlet/Blood Sorceress
Is there a reason people pick this over Eternal Inversionist? I feel it's infinitely better for farming.

>>3774021
ScarSorc is one of the best farming classes, especially if you're starting out. I think it's faster than Eternal Inversionist, but I never tested it.

>>3758833
Artix games are popular in SEA and Latin American countries (poor countries).

It’s easy to run, straightforward and easy to cheat. Ancient computers can play them with no issue and and the 2D art is a lot more visually appealing and lasts longer than 3d models.

>Keep forgetting to get my keys for the chests

>>3677504

So... are they STILL pay to properly play, or did they release at least the oldest ones as free?
Cause it's kind of hard to imagine paying for those nowadays.

>>3774021
Its much easier to get?

>>3778382
Nothing thats AC locked before has been made free, but this game has been around long enough for there to be dozens variations of each weapon/armour like the doomnight set so you dont have to pay AC if you just like the look of it.

>>3777785
All the items there are shit and the enchantment is terrible

>>3779691
Yeah, but I think the enchantment is REALLY funny. I already have ArchMage anyway.

Playable on mobile yet?

Let's make a new thread on page 9. The board is slow enough for that. What should the OP be?

Anyone have the new class yet?

>>3641280 (OP)
I remember the autism of kids and early teens like me in the forums, not being happy over this and that.
Kek, must have been annoying as fuck for the devs.

>>3780630
it's possible. some people do play on mobile, but not through official means.
sadly the decade+ of spaghetti code is impossible to port to mobile at this point.

Here's what I have so far, still need AQW soloing DPS, MechQuest, and EpicDuel guides.
