A Constructive Arx Thread
-
With the current game about to be brought to a point where staff conclude the current story and withdraw from active staffing, was a rough timeframe given for when the new iteration of Arx might land?
I’ve been spotty and don’t hang out on social platforms outside of the game, so could easily have missed any announcements.
-
I don’t play on Arx so I’m not sure if anything different has been stated on the game itself but this is from this post on the Arx game ad thread:
Come Feb 1st, requests turn off, and that’ll be it for the current characters canonical story save for one shots I or others might GM to test systems. And then, a bit down the road, Arx relaunches as a very different game, which I am extremely excited about. But just not yet. Time to go all in on a story first.
-
@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.
-
@Rowan They haven’t said.
-
I’m kind of hiding beneath a rock on Viv because I’m more curious to see what happens in February –
Having a place just to hang around for one-shots sounds like the no pressure, all fun online speed that I am here for.
-
@moth FWIW, there aren’t gonna be PRPs, because those require staff approval and oversight. I think it’ll be more like “you can finish up your epiloguey social scenes.”
-
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.

Sounds cool to me.

This schedule is intense man. Can we Venmo Apos some coffee money or something? Get him a spa day?

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

@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?
-
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
-
Didn’t know about recent Vince McMahon news…but now that I do, let’s go with this one instead
-
I am more shaken up by Ainsley’s death than I really thought I would be. Now I’m like — idk. Spinning in circles.
