At the very least I don't think you will be shamed for it

. The tigress update I think really fleshed her out a lot more than her just being a simple brute. Both the backstory and her new power base makes her interactions in the story interesting.The soccer game in the festival event was the highlight for me lol. If only inner energy was allowed you'd see me go like this:
Poma's still mid tho, it's just not everyone is vocal about it. This thread though, is a gift that keeps on giving. Nicky should be thankful to have such dedicated audience that stayed committed even throughout the Wu Fraud era.
I'm with you on this she's still boring I'm only interested in her for the fights and the exp nothing more.
Seeing football being called soccer
Poma isn't perfect but it is very far from mid even back when people called the wu heir a fraud. Poma is a very good game. You think everyone would stick around for a mid game? **** let me answer my own question
they would lol look at wayhavenPOMA has it's moments, but I really wish we could scheme more, why can everyone else scheme and we can't. Why can't Wu Heir Finesse both The Empire and the rouges and get benefits from both of them while playing them against each other.
Apart from that the game kinda forces you to be an A hole, in the sense that there's not really content for that.
Also the general hopelessness around the in game universe.
Also the story presents more mysteries then answers. When you figure out one Mystery two more pop up and Weiner smack us across the forehead. Like the Beast God(I forget the name)
But I'll stop.
I did enjoy the Tigress Update. Like that she was more fleshed out. The fight was fun.
7/10
Sorry for yapping

Dude, come on now. Poma is far from mid. Yes we all have misgivings on the story and the mechanics but its nowhere near enough to drop it. The author is dedicated, consistent with his output and actually takes criticisms and trys to better his work wherever he can. The if is entertaining, lore is interesting and the fights are good. It doesnt have to be peak fiction for it not to be called mid.
Wait a moment, there's a football game? When is this??
Tigress festival event
Ah, i didint go with her cuz Caihong knocked her out and bailed anyway.
I also triggered that one my first time, and I even tried replaying that scene a few times thinking I said the wrong thing. But would you know Tigress + Caihong = Conflict.
I should clarify that by ‘mid’ I don’t mean that poma is rubbish or a poor piece of work; on the contrary, I’d say that poma is better than 90% of WIPs, which, admittedly, isn’t quite as impressive as it sounds. It’s not that hard to outdo WIPs inspired by Twilight, or those that literally keep themselves afloat by selling text-based pornography on Patreon. Poma is a mid-tier game, but it’s not BAD, and it certainly could have been much better if Niki had finally come up with a proper outline, listened less to the weirdos on Patreon, stopped reworking the mechanics from scratch with every major update, stopped with the retcons, and made the experience more consistent.

i agree with you in some ways cus ive written better than this myself but what the likes of what anon and nicky do to stand out among the rest including the extra coding and consideration they have to put in different playthroughs cant bring me to call their particular games mid. Dao Ascension however..(blud catching strays for no reason)
Itd be cool if we could upgrade our talents, like our pheonix heart give smore stats and/or has less cool down
RP/DO having higher stat increases or maybe they get reworked to be based on the precentage of alignment and gets a bigger boost when you hit alignment check points
Like for each precentage of saint above neutral you get an extra 0.1 in percentage in attribute increase, but when you hit the good natured you get an extra 2 percent increase and while getting the 0.1 and being a saint at 100 gets you an extra 5 percent and upgrades will be stats, or the chance to be even more good. A real delimma for any saint player, dont know about demon bros
Also the dao training could also be changed, where dao training and physical training are different where either
A) physical traing and dao traing have different training dots, so you have 10 in physical and 10 in dao
Or
B) physical taining has 5 dots and dao has 5 dots but they both get a shared 5 dots that can be used in either one
And the dao training gets expanded
Instead of one dao training it becomes 3
Dao level: The ability to cast complex spells
QI power: The power to actually preform these intricate spells and maintain them
Qi efficacy: Making the spells more efficient

There should be a dangerous training option during the free roam where we sacrfice heath for exp or qi or extra training points, and regen and PH allows to us sacrfice more health cause we brave or something
And Martial soverign should affect the stats for breaking our bodies limits, its csuse 75 percent is usually pretty useless, or 50 percent which makes it too usefull
So if is 75 percent that also affects body refining itd be great
Or maybe let that be an upgrade, you either focus on body refining by having it affect cost body refining costs OR let it be a 50 percent discount
Side grades people we need side grades

There should also be talent upgrades in certain Sect missions when they eventually get implemeted. Or perhaps they unlock some new/old ones like the poison resistance one
We can have a mission where we find a pheonix feather and if we have PH we get to absorb it, even it doesnt result in us getting stats or anything, we could be marked by the pheonix and we need to die 3 times for it activate upgrading the talent or it just beinga mark that has more narrative use in book 2 or maybe it could be the item that allows us to betray yichen despite getting the turtle soul bond while he is still alive

The only talent i REALLY want to update is poison resistance, into poison immunity and, one day, into poison body, which will allow us to inflict poison whenever we are attacked or attacking in melee + the ability to use some poison abilities like breathing poison or something.
Really really want something like that guys.
PoMA has its edge in ruthlessness. Aura Clash is full of damn fun moments, but you can't even properly spill blood in that game at least with PoMA, you can tickle an NPC's heart. In Aura Clash, it's like every fight is fighting Yang Gang everybody in that game is so damn durable.
Aura Clash is still the better game, IF, and story, though. In 2024, PoMA had its edge, but by now we're still stuck in the same damn place while Aura Clash is sitting at ten chapters. Honestly, getting banned from the CoG forum was maybe the best thing that happened to Anon. If he had stayed to be coddled in that cesspool, we might as well still be in the damn jungle right now, and anon is pampered by endless praise while just only delivering that.

You what would be cool an AU POMA where Tang Wei takes over Wu Heir's body
And we have to claw back to were we once were.
Or Just an Consistent Tang Wei that doesn't just abandon his plans so the rest of the plot can happen.
I will say this. POMA punishes being good and Aura Clash punishes being evil. And another aura Clash critique is that as much as I like the humor(I really do) it can be a little too much at times, Like Bleach(how they'd argue while ignoring the enemy. If memory serves me correctly only once did an enemy actually attack them while they did this again I haven't watched Bleach in a loooong time so take it with a pitch of salt But I'm way off my point)
Aura Clash is A 9/10
Path of Martial Arts is a 6/10(Tigress Update was perfect though)
And all of this is just my opinion.

Personally, I'd prefer if Tang Wei can be like the "grandpa in a ring" mentor trope of the genre. Imagine instead of the current state of Wu Heir needing to pick a side, we can just be independent and have TW actively teach us real cultivation to make our own destiny.
Maybe like a secret path that requires you to make certain decisions up to the expo and TW being interested to see how his perfect reincarnation would fare this time so he leaves behind a small part of his conciousness within us beside the Chaos Origin Physique and stuff.
It'd be much cooler than random dreams giving exp and ****
