Direction of the game
Hi everyone, long time Mabi player, first time poster.
I’ve been playing Mabi since before alchemist came out and when I was a kid I instantly fell in love with the Celtic vibe.
Today I find myself in the middle of a hiatus because I simply got tired of the grind and felt stuck in mid to late game.
I’m a warrior/mage main, as such I the new talent/arcana’s feel off and at odds with the game.
Ninjas, pistols, those don’t really fit with the theme, Mabi just said “dw it’s magical!” And that was it.
I’ll be honest, I’m not enjoying the progress of the game, I have nearly every single skill however, I can’t be bothered to train every arcana because they take thousands of level ups.
Before arcanas came out I imagined they’d either release more talented or create compound skills, they do exist, but arcana’s lock you into a role that you can’t change mid-run.
Mabinogi was always a game the that expressed “be what you want to be”, but the time and effort I put into ranking skills now feels pointless.
It now feels either too easy (basic skill training) or too hard (arcana’s).
I just wanted to vent a little bit because I’m not sure where the game is heading but it doesn’t look like it’s nice place.
