It is saddening to see that the update time of the mod has stopped (for now at least?). I'm at least glad that AoA could "still update as a mod" according to Xolova.
Even if the next update is a bugfix update I would be perfectly okay with that. There are many, many balance-related problems I can name out but I'll save that for another time if Xolova begins updating this mod again.
With that said, I am looking forward to this standalone AoA-styled game Xolova has been talking about. However, I'm also cautious about it, I don't want to see it end up like that standalone game the Orespawn creator made.
I have faith in Xolova though, I can only hope that this game offers the same experience as the mod can. I wish you luck dude.
Xolova, if by chance you ever read this, could you at least supply us with all the sources of the boss themes? Throughout the span of almost 2 years we've managed to find roughly half of them, but as for the rest we've come up with nothing (as far as I know at least...). I've documented a YT playlist of the sources of the boss themes and it would be nice to have it complete...
Not talking about that I am talking about all the crap they had on content creators fallowing that update after September 2014. Yes it did in march of last year they went and took down a crap ton of mods. No it really wasn't mojang's decision to crap on content creators. Xolova's last tweet was calling mojang stupid for yet another terrible eula update for content creators. He said why are they doing this when content creators are keeping minecraft alive
and yes eula has everything to do with modding. It doesn't fallow the eula the mod is gone and believe me the wiped alot of the mods out already.
I see no proof of Mojang taking town mods for breaking the guidelines of the EULA, nowhere in the EULA does it mention anything against modding unless the mod itself has malicious code, which in AoA's case, does not.
Also, when Xolova made that post nothing about it implied the EULA was giving him trouble, it was likely something pertaining to the difficulty of updating the mod from 1.7.10 to 1.8+, or something.
I've never seen mention of Mojang taking down mods at all, if they did take down a "crapton" of mods, wouldn't it spark controversy among the whole modding community? How come I've never heard about it in the FTB subreddit, FTB forums, twitter pages of various modders, Curseforge, Minecraft forums, or Xolova himself? If it happened in March of last year, when he was still a little active, how come he never said a thing about it, if his post did imply the EULA, then how come it was posted in May instead of March? The only person who I've seen mentioning this is you, randomly claiming stuff like this.
If you think it's dead, just leave, I can understand one's concern for the current state of this mod, but constantly complaining and using Mojang as a scapegoat gets us nowhere.
As for me, I'm going to take a pretty long hiatus from here as well since there's not much happening here, but I'm starting to get sick of seeing these pointless rants.
1. Not sure what you mean by this. As far as I know, their both coded to have the exact same spawn rate.
2. From my understanding, he became really distraught with not being able to keep up with Youtube, so he straight out hid his channel altogether.
1. There is actually, ironically enough, another rare mob planned for Mysterium already, which is present in the 2.5 snapshot. The mob is called the Darkling, it inflicts Poison/Wither on hit and drops the Vox Ponds Realmstone when defeated. Its not registerd, but if hacked back in game it would have a fully-functioning AI.
Is there a model/texture of the Darkling in the files?
Back in version 1.0, there used to exist Upgrade kit recolors of swords, you could recolor the Skeletal sword with a Nether upgrade kit. Of course, I say "recolor" because it doesn't actually upgrade anything. I'm guessing Fleega extracted the textures/weapon from the files since the old freezing effect is in the picture as well.
Just to confirm, is Armakeen's server down for everyone else too right? Or is it just me?
He's mentioned that server hours will unfortunately be shorter on school days, or if there are server hours at all on school days.
Concerning the people who were "sent from Cruuk", yes, they were sent from me. I've gotten a couple of people interested in AoA in another community I'm part of using a forum thread that talks about AoA. The thread has 868 views as I type this. In an unofficial Discord chat for said community, I was telling 1 person about the server and I end up getting like 5 people interested.

On sunday, Arma did say he had to leave early and that he'll be back on Friday.
0
Hmm, is the server not open for anyone else?
EDIT: Never mind it's up.

As of making this post I am actually level 76 now.

Meanwhile on Arma's server, this is what happens when you train Extraction... (Extraction level was 73 when I took the picture)

Well, as I post this, it's back up now.

Unfortunately, as far as we know, no. Though, to me at least, it's better than nothing.

Wait? Arama's able to open his server on weekdays now? Or is this a picture from the weekends and I'm badly mistaken.

Huh, you're right, I can see the Moonlight Staff, Erebon Scythe, and a Terminator(?) at around 2:36 in the video.
I wonder if Xolova knows of this...

Is that the upside-down area of Lelyetia? Interesting...
I remember there being a mod that allowed you to change your gravity, it was in 1.6.4, has it updated since?
