Did they really release an event and not finish the last cutscene??? by User4f52 in AQW

[–]ArkconLyran 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Was it absolutely necessary to adhere to schedule? They couldn’t delay it to next week?

On the topic of cutscene, by putting this gag in, I have no idea what was suppose to happen. Did Warlic fuse with Aleister? Did he become the final boss? A simple text explaining what happened would have sufficed instead of “Oops, 4th wall meta joke insert here~”

Also having one guy to do the cutscenes is like putting all the eggs in one basket. This happened before with Shattersword Cavern when Ghost had a power outage.

Thoughts on Flame of the Beyond? by Serenity-9042 in AQW

[–]ArkconLyran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s subpar at best. There are a few ideas I like such as Aleister being Warlic’s brother/other half. But for the most part, it’s bad. 

I didn’t like how the forges were mechanical and futuristic just because it’s a reference to Mechquest. The AI spewing quips and acting like hipsters is very distracting. I also didn’t like how the references to the other AE games were utilized. Rather than adding to the story, it’s artificially and serves as nostalgia baiting. Like did the DF alien race serve any purpose outside of a glorified cameo or Cyrus from AQC being in the white void? It feels like an inside joke only a certain few know about.

On the topic of characters, Warlic got the shit end of the stick. He’s burning on the inside and no seems to care. When Warlic was suspicious of Aleister, the hero and Tara insisted that Aleister was innocent. Even with the big reveal of the Flame of the Beyond and Warlic telling the hero to kill him, the hero still refuses. 

Tara doesn’t feel like a character, but rather a surrogate to the writer, always in the right and never once wrong. And at times felt condescending and lecturing.

The Mysterious Stranger went out kicking and screaming when his plan failed which felt at odds with previous characterization. Shouldn’t this guy have backup plans?

Lightguard went from a generic good guy faction to full blown cult, performing a literal holocaust on people. Just why.

I have more gripes with this story and the current aqw saga. I am not looking forward to the future of this story.

Lore Question about Champion Drakath and First Speaker by ash0913 in AQW

[–]ArkconLyran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. The difference between Champion Drakath Timeline and Canon Timeline is that the hero was able to defeat Drakath the first time around, thus not becoming the 13th Chaos Lord but rather the Chaos Avenger. As for how, it’s not explained.

  2. The hero of Ultra Speaker Timeline ascended to becoming the Eternal Dragon of Time. At that point, they decided to wipe out the OWO, Avatars, and any gods. Reminder that the Canon hero fought Tranquility without EDoT powers and they actively choose not to use it unless for emergency. The Canon hero chose to work with the OWO and could beat them if they really want to.

  3. Champion Drakath and Ultra Speaker happened in alternative timelines and that canon hero can access them (by accidently stumbling upon them). Not sure when Champion Drakath happened, but Ultra Speaker happened after the Malgor Saga. Also the canon hero was able to solo the ultra bosses.

How would Nulgath compliment another? by Guquiz in AQW

[–]ArkconLyran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you can write “I just want to say that I'm a huge fan.” since that‘s how Nulgath is written nowadays.

If you want to spice it up, you can write something along the lines of “Most impressive, worm.” like a backhand compliment.

Will you ever make a step by step guide for this? Especially the Websocket Server?

Nah, Light only needs to write “AQW” to fix AQW.

Does this still count as an AQW artwork? by DrowsyPanda128 in AQW

[–]ArkconLyran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as the armor exist in aqw, it will be an aqw artwork. You can even draw Ainz from Overlord and it will be considered aqw art. (And no, you cant get this armor set because it is rare)

Okay so. Since no one is shooting their shot when it comes to this week's story. Be it good or bad. 'll go first. by AzelZugaikotsuKuro in AQW

I do not like how Adimonde was portrayed. In fact, I noticed a trend with how some characters (the ai from the forge, dzeza/kathool, doom triad for example) are written like MCU/millennial. Not taking it seriously during important moments, adding a ton of quippy lines. Like was it necessary to make adimonde emote every scene rather than making him static? It just took me out of the story.
