spirit of greed -> RE: Friday, August 2nd Design Notes: Arena at the Edge of Time: AARGH Update! (8/5/2024 6:30:59)

First of all nice to hear Soulweaver rework is happening, it's such a nice and cool class, i'm interested to see what they do with it. In a way it's funny how we've got Chaosweaver and now a Soulweaver rework before Fleshweaver. I'm not complaining though it is quite a big project and honestly if i have to admit it i'm not even looking forward to it that much (no offense Dove). It is gonna be a cool class but i'm not gonna sacrifice Aegis or the hero for it, like spoiler:
Sepulchure said it:there's too much price needed for that kind of power , so i probably wouldn't even use it.
Oh boy a new war soon enough? I love wars now i'm really excited! I wonder what kind of war will it be? It's probably not gonna be a Shadowscythe or 13th one but who knows, Mogloween is too far away also, it's safe to say it's not gonna be a Rose related one spoiler:
although it could be a fun one where we round up the remaining criminal Rose members who probably fled after the current events but unlikely. I just hope it's not gonna be a joke one, no offense it's just not my thing. I just lack the motivation to do waves after waves just to get loled at the end but we'll see.
Anyway quite a few of new challenges and cosmetics.
I know those are just kind of a joke challenges but am i the only one who finds these AARGH challenges interesting and wants to see the lore behind it in the actual game? Whoever makes those simulations reminds me of the TVA from Marvel, the SCP Foundation and a bit of Organization XIII from KH.
So far:
-they appear to be a organization with multiple members and at least 1 boss
-They are in some kind of connection with Dr When
-They are aware of the different timelines and use enemies from them
-They aren't much satisfied with legendary mystical enemies
-No idea if they regularly kidnap the hero and use them personally in the simulation which they always forget later on or just use a data hero (like data Sora in KH)
-even after more than a dozen challenges it's not clear if they are an ally who wants to help the hero or enemy (but i like to think they find our hero a danger to our timeline and they're studying us to learn our weaknesses)
-oddly the hero is quite emotionless in these challenges almost like if they are a different person. Not reacting much to dead friends (Tomix,Serenity), otherwordly enemies (Wargoth) or monsters not from our timeline (AdventureFiend)
-At least in 2 challenges they used samples from the simulated enemy (Sepulchure,Protus Symbiote)
-they are quite powerful since they can create some of our greatest enemies, even if just as a simulation
-However they starting to lose their control over these simulations:
simulations crashing (Xan,Uthulus Simulacrum)
can't handle complicated specimens (Achilles & Patroclus,Darkon)
powerful entities affecting the real world from the simulation (Artificial corrupted spirits)
other powerful entities being aware they are in a simulation (AdventureFiend talking to you,J6 looking at the scientist)
multiple entities hijacking the simulation (Gorgok,Zorbak,Sciuri Daehotep,Decadere Ancient,Mega Fluffy Tog
