A Constructive Arx Thread

I am so fucking overwhelmed. I wish my RL would just fucking stop with its bullshit for a couple of months so that I could enjoy the final days of the game.

I need to submit the IG battle plan and Sunday/Monday was just a shitshow that Monday I just went to bed. I had to have my MIL tell the children to stop screaming every five minutes because “your aunt is quite literally on the verge of having a stroke you are stressing her out so bad”.

I’m not stressed about Arx, I’m stressed cause I want to enjoy it. I know folks are stressed about the mechanics and I sympathize but I’m all here for it. Win or more likely lose. I want to enjoy it and my fucking children won’t hukuna their tatas for five minutes to give anyone in the house any peace.

I just wanna play pretend sword man and stab girl at the end times. Please.

@Rowan said in A Constructive Arx Thread:

@Raeras Yes. Just wondering how long ‘a bit down the road’ might be as that was the only reference I’ve seen. Months or years. Its been a hell of a ride nevertheless.

No real way to know, at present. There are a lot of systems that need design/implementation, which obviously takes time, then at least some testing. There’s also a lot of writing to do, since it’ll at least be a significant time skip, which means new rosters, presumably at least a somewhat different grid, new lore, org changes, etc. At least a chunk of it will depend rather heavily on what happens in the next two weeks as well, with major cities under threat of being wiped off the map and Arx itself facing imminent invasion/destruction.

@kalakh Thank you for this. Good luck to you, staff and anyone else who’ll be working on future Arx.

The Stand at Farhaven was everything and more than I could have hoped for. Reading channels cheering us all on and investing with us on this event. An amazing group of players who threw absolutely all in, and to whom I am super grateful not just for this, but for staying on this crazy northlands road during lots of ebbs and waves. Add in @Apos’s incredible storytelling while somehow GM’g all of us and whatever we were doing…man.

Magnificent

So…

[Roz]

@watno what does this gif mean

[MisterBoring]

@Roz Given the recent news about Vince McMahon, I too want to know what that gif means.

I mean I didn’t know the recent news until you said something and I looked it up so I wouldn’t assign anything nefarious to it.

Looks like @watno is just choked up by something that happened if I had to guess, emotional about a story?

[Roz]

for whatever reason the guy looked a lot less teary on my phone when i looked this morning, he almost looked ANNOYED, sorry it is more obviously choked up on my full screen

[watno]

Didn’t know about recent Vince McMahon news…but now that I do, let’s go with this one instead

[Cobalt]

I am more shaken up by Ainsley’s death than I really thought I would be. Now I’m like — idk. Spinning in circles.

[sao]

@Cobalt Me too, tbh. Foundational. He was a very high passion character so it makes sense that he got into your heartmeats, though.

[helvetica]

@Cobalt oof 🥺

[MisterBoring]

Ah it was a profound character death. Got it.

[icanbeyourmuse]

I feel a bit bad. I see all the emits and how people talk about stuff going on and think it would be fun. However, I don’t feel invested, at all. I am pretty certain it is because most of what is talked about I don’t understand. I don’t really do much for combat characters so I don’t sign up for much cause a lot of the bigger plot stuff has combat focused. I also would rather ‘give up’ a spot I would take to people who are invested and know all the stuff going on. I am not big on huge scenes anymore, can’t handle them like I did when I was younger… I also know if I go to the ‘info dump’ scenes people do, I’ll get overwhelmed and confused.

I /want/ to feel invested, I just don’t for above reasons.
