[cobalt spade]

it looked pretty at least. ufotable animations as per usual

then i watched a full symphonia playthrough, played vesperia, abyss and arise.

[wise spire]

berseria was great! im not much of a fan of modern era tales, but berseria was a really great story and i loved the characters

[queen island]

Mine was abyss anime

[cobalt spade]

always wanted to try xillia, but didnt have the right means to play it normally, so i tried emulating, but i keep running into troubles sometimes so i gave up

[queen island]

Xillia would be amazing, but i also want Abyss remade in 3D, it deserves this

[cobalt spade]

the main cast was amazing, it didnt disappoint me as my first tales of, entry

[wise spire]

i want some good hd2d ass remakes of the early games

destiny and eternia would go hard

[cobalt spade]

ohhhh tales of hd2d sounds amazing

bandai doesnt have any hd2d games right

[wise spire]

IT COULD

but yeah, those early games are super slept on these days. partly cause some of them had bad translations, partly cause of how legendary a lot of the 3d games became

but theyre so good

they need to at least be made available, if not given a nice hd2d remake

im sure in this day, accessible on steam, with a nice localisation with proper voice acting

they'd sell pretty well

[stone olive]

I pray and hope that tomorrow a mail lands for being invited to Star Resonance

[queen island]

👏 Devil 👏 May 👏 Cry 👏 VI 👏

[cobalt spade]

realistically it shud be mhstories3, resident evil stuff, and idk what else

[steep crest]

if we're on cope time they're gonna announce they fixed Wilds' performance issues

[cobalt spade]

oh yea, well, might have some title update news there for future months too i suppose

[wise spire]

its going to be live as my birthday starts so i have the birthday luck buff up

manifesting ace attorney

[livid elbow]

comic con = super hero related thus marvel vs capcom 5

new fighting game will surely sell well copium

[wise spire]

idk if that'll be the case with arc sys marvel fighter being so hyped up right now

but who knows? maybe they'll finally make a move on something

[queen island]

Releasing a fighting game alongside the new marvel one is a suicide

[cobalt spade]

2xko:

[steep crest]

but it would be really funny to see a new marvel fighting game and MvC release at the same time

[cobalt spade]

what if they did

and its just capcom vs marvel

[wise spire]

capcom vs arc sys

[cobalt spade]

[modest cipher]

yo nice

[thick coral]

WEEEEEE

[oblique jetty]

have fun stal

[wise spire]

looking forward to seeing how the multiplayer is!

hope you have fun

[steep crest]

is that conveyer belts i see in the preview images?

[final lake]

oo i was interested in this one lol

[sand shuttle]

They have announced title update 4 will be that

[cobalt spade]

i miss my boys....

The Boys:

[steep crest]

i picked up sunbreak for cheap in one of the recent sales but the tiny zones are starting to get to me. though i just have a bit more before i can get to lucent and the axe i was aiming for back in 3u

[sand shuttle]

sunbreak is really good

its my fav mh

[steep crest]

i know when i played rise i spent most of it wishing i was playing iceborne, and i'm not sure if sunbreak resolved that or if iceborne is just too hazy a memory these days, they definitely both do some things better than the other

...kinda petered out on progression though after someone got me into GW2 again

[oblique jetty]

tio will always be farming

[sand shuttle]

[cobalt spade]

my fav mh is either portable 3rd or 4u

[copper remnant]

[sand shuttle]

Valid, I couldn't get into old MH unfortunately

[steep crest]

i still wonder how i played on that tiny screen

although playing the old ones really gives you an appreciation for how much better the hitboxes are now

[cobalt spade]

Time to spend another hour mapping out a dungeon floor

[sand shuttle]

Kinda

[steep crest]

does EO on PC have tablet integration? i think millenium girl was the only game i used the stylus on my 3ds for. was kind of fun to draw them out that way

[cobalt spade]

idk, no idea how to try

but i just play with mouse

pretty comfy

[modest cipher]

EO is peak

[thick coral]

i wanna try EO too

[cobalt spade]

do you like the name of my party members

[wise spire]

i played a bunch of eo 1/2. it's good when youre looking for a barebones hardcore traiditional dungeon crawler

[cobalt spade]

i think i was quite creative with it

[steep crest]

what do you mean barebones? i haven't played many dungeon crawlers so not sure what more to expect

[cobalt spade]

i guess in the sense that its just pure dungeon crawling, no strings attached?

[wise spire]

its an rpg with very little int he way of story

just a pure experience

[steep crest]

ahh

[wise spire]

there is some sotry, but it's a drop in the pool. the whole experience is based around dungeon crawling

sometimes its nice for when you sont care about getting into a whole story and just want to make some numbers fight against each other

[cobalt spade]

yea i was quite lost in like legit the first minute of the game

it just drops me in

[modest cipher]

The EO1/2 remakes

And 4+ have some decent story

but yeah overall light

[wise spire]

if you like EO you'll probably also like mt1/2, smt1/2/if and persona 1/2 also

[modest cipher]

If you can stomach the dark tones/filthy themes

[wise spire]

i went deep on those after playing EO

[modest cipher]

NISA's latest dungeon crawlers are really in a class of their own

Labrynth of Galleria

[cobalt spade]

i think it was pretty expensive so i just wishlisted and waited for a big discount

but i have.... mary skelter in my library as well

thats the only other dungeon crawler i have i think

and this. idk people call it, its name is so long

[wise spire]

i played a bit of mary skelter before

it seemed a bit too ecchi for me tbh

SoSWSoSC:R the classic game

[cobalt spade]

[modest cipher]

There's also both demon gazes

And class of heroes

7th dragon

[thick coral]

OOO

i have 7th dragon

i played the demo, enjoyed it

bought the game then

never touched it..

[wise spire]

[modest cipher]

7th dragon in particular is fun

because its so easy to just

cheese/make insane setups

IIRC my run I did a character that after they got their first attack off they get like 100 more attacks lol

[cobalt spade]

[modest cipher]

Of course the flipside to that is it makes the game super easy even if you barely try

No1 probably cares but today I hit 5000 skill rating on gitadora drummania. Took about 11 months. This is definitely the hardest rhythm game I've ever played, harder than pop'n and iidx

[faint dragon]

I'd just assumed it's hard to achieve

While also couldn't gauge it

That the same machine that you can stream on?

[lusty patrol]

Yeah it is

It's a really complex rhythm game use your whole body to hit 9 different keys

[faint dragon]

Last time I saw a different kind of rhythm game machine is a big ring people tap onto

[lusty patrol]

That's either maimai or wacca

[faint dragon]

Ye maimai

Congrats! must be very hard if it took u 11 months

TBHX EP20

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH MAN @sand shuttle ||QUEEN IS SO PEAK UYREGHTUYIEHQTKJFHEKJTQ||

THE MUSIC

TBHX20 ||NOOOOOO WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU ||

||FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK||

||I KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN BUT FUCKFUCKFUCK NOOOOOOOOOOO DAD DIED AND NUONUO IN COMA WHY MAN WHY||

AYYYYYYYYYYYYY ||ITS FUCKING HIM. ITS HIIIIMMMMM||

||HE DID THE THINGGGGGGGG HE DID THE FINGER SNAP||

||IDC IF THEY REUSED THE SCENE FROM THEIR PVS THIS IS SO FUCKING HYPE HOLYYYYYY||

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

TBHX IS SO FUCKING GOOD

TBHX20 ||with all the mention of zero in previous episodes, i knew it was something relevant, but REVIVING? now i feel like the pieces are coming together slowly, the behind-the-scene corpo warfare, X's involvement in all this maybe, so many things
also seems like johnny in the end doesnt find out about ghostblade
GB and Luoli took a massive L. im so sad
Luoli's girlfriend is comatosed, her father died, and the light in her eyes are absolutely gone.
but also really nice that GB left MG. he went from taking orders, to making his own decision. MY GOAT.||
||the fight sequence from start to end was so fucking good. the moving cameras, the ost, how they incorporated the heroes fighting style perfectly, its so fucking peak. the Queen moment was so peak man. i was jumping off my seat. the way she calmed down Big Johnny, when its been mentioned that only Little Johnny could do that 😭. Cyan got her moment too . Da Xiong has my respects, bro got his head absolutely fucking decked continuously even after death, he did not deserve that ||
||X was the fucking man. that finger snap was absolute peakest of peaks. and everything in that portion was huge, Johnny seems like hes gonna be under the same corpo as queen and cyan. Loli is officially a hero now, GB leaves MG, but MG/Rock still has DragonBoy, manipulating the news to make it seem like Nice was the one beating the weird suited baddies, and whatever the fuck E-Soul was doing . 4 EPISODES LEFT AAAAAAAA we need a 1hour special for the last episode... X's episode cant be just 1 episode man.||

1 last point || it still boggles me that, QUEEN IS RANKED NO.2. she completely fucking gapped everyone there the moment she arrived, gave Nice that "you're nothing but a peasant" look, BUT STILL LOST IN SECONDS TO X. holy fuck i need queen and x to have a full power 1v1. also noticed that queen's powers actually affect EVERYTHING, including aliens like big johnny, when Vortex's couldnt.||

@sand shuttle theres no way right? ||theres no way rock is trying to use DragonBoy as a vessel to revive Zero||

[cobalt spade]

also didnt notice this but ||LIN LING CAMEOOOOO||

I would love to get people into it but i dont want to explain the synopsis or whatever

I feel like its mild spoilers

[sand shuttle]

Everyone should give it a try

[cobalt spade]

Feel like its better to just go in straight blind, and watch character PVs of the specific arc's main character along the way

The way they choreograph sequences and play with camera angles and visuals

Its so peak

@kind acorn hey sorry for the random ping but you still playing on turtlewow?
heard that the new realm opened up and remembered you were interested in playing on that

so I was just wondering how that was turning out for you

[kind acorn]

I am not currently

Sadly

but I wish I was

I got roped into playing MoP Classic so I'm doing that atm, and then I finally wanna go back to Trails

I do want to play Turtle WoW proper down the line though (after MoP Classic/When I'm caught up with Trails)

I have this insane habbit of taking one a mountain of "responsibility" (games i commit to) and then drowning in it and not having time

[teal ivy]

aah I see

if it makes you feel any better, turtle wow will always be there so you're not missing much atm

unless uh

you like being part of the craziness of launch

like so

[kind acorn]

Egh my only concern is if I wait too long and it "dies"

as in zones wont be populated anymore

but I'm not gonna worry about that

I just... can't dedicate time to it right now sadly

[teal ivy]

ehh i'm sure it'll be good for a while, if nordanaar was any indication

I played on the dead hours of nord and still ran into plenty of people

[kind acorn]

Yeahhh I'm not too worried, just feel a bit guilty being poached by my old guild for official mop

[teal ivy]

mm, why feel guilty for that though? I mean you've done nothing wrong and want to play with them right

[kind acorn]

thats my brain for ya

I got bags as a present so i feel bad for not playing

also i wanna support true classic+

when im in a financially better position ill donate to them methinks

[teal ivy]

aah, fair enough

well I hope you don't feel too bad and just focus on having fun with your guildies instead

a person can level in a version of wow or get bags as many times as they want

but being able to spend time with some people is alot rarer

what class do you play in mop classic anyways 😮

[kind acorn]

hunter

bc its still my character from classic 2019

And on turtle wow i basicially made the same character bc im so attached to him

[teal ivy]

man is dedicated to hunting

I respect it though

pretty much the same how I feel but for my generic human paladin

[kind acorn]

I still feel like I havent mastered it

Also since talents on twow are slightly different than actual classic wow I felt like its not "the same" as just rerolling classic hunter

[teal ivy]

yeaa

and for turtle survival specifically it's more than just slight differences and a whole new playstyle

melee hunter

[kind acorn]

might make an undead... mage or something one of these days

i just like that on twow noone really minds if you play the spec you want

[teal ivy]

yea love it for that chill atmosphere

I'd never tanked before in any version of wow but felt comfortable doing it in turtle

and whenever I messed up, everyone was always understanding about it

[kind acorn]

mhm

dungeons in classic are generally wayyy more chill

i wont lie, i lowkey feel like we COULD be getting more than 1 game, but cope is cope

any news is good news i guess

[queen island]

it honestly could've just been a random screenshots unrelated to release

[cobalt spade]

unlike silksong news

[queen island]

didn't they say Silsong will release before the Xbox handheld in 2026?

[sand shuttle]

Silksong will be played at Gamescom

[stone olive]

Theres supposed to be a demo booth for it at gamescom yeah

Im sure the queue will be giga

[queen island]

after the wait this long people gonna shit on it, no matter how good it is

same with GTA6

expectations too high

[crystal bramble]

correct

happens everytime

to this day people shit on various games because it didn't meet the unrealistic expectations. (Kingdom Hearts 3 suffered from that badly)

[queen island]

tbf KH3 was a big downgrade after KH2

but yeah, it was still fun

[crystal bramble]

I enjoyed it more than KH2

and that's something people won't understand, only because I enjoyed it more doesn't mean it's objectively a better game or something like that

[queen island]

yeah, it's all subjective

you can just not enjoy a universally praised game, or you can have fun playing the most horrible trainwreck of a game ever

[crystal bramble]

and then you have the flipside.. true to my name sake.. when NEO TWEWY was announced, all of us fans were just hype that we get a sequel after so long. Were some disappointed? Sure, but we didn't had unrealistic expectations at all. We were just happy to see it getting acknowledged at all

[queen island]

same with every other medium

[crystal bramble]

now imagine how F-Zero fans feel

those poor people

[queen island]

i dropped NEO, but the music and style were still on point

the main things about the game

[crystal bramble]

but yeah, Silksong will probably be a good dlc

but it will catch hate

and disappointment

[queen island]

Lies of P DLC got some hate too

[crystal bramble]

still need to play that

[modest cipher]

Honestly

Im not sure if im annoyed we still dont know whats next for the tales series, or if I should be happy the inevitable arise 2 announcement is pushed back farther

[cobalt spade]

Tales of ReArise

[queen island]

Tales of Reraise

[pliant rock]

where's phantasia?!

if it weren't for phantasia there would be no other tales games

[wise spire]

100%

people sleep on phantasia SO HARD but its so good when youre not using the old trash localisaiton

it deserves to have a spruced up rre-localised remaster

phantasia. destiny 1/2, eternia, legendia, innocence

all good games thatre slept on hard, or not even released in the west to begin with

but hey at least we have arise

in the last 13 years there has been ONE good new tales game

i know a lot of people like arise, and the combat is good and whatnot, but in my eyes the overall quality of everything else dipped. to me it's blow for blow on par with zestiria, except i was able to finish zestiria

not to rant forever, but i think them desperately trying to modernise tales has just been churning out games that just arent as good as the older style games of xilia 2 and earlier

it only really worked in berseria, because they decided to take a whole new approach on the story and characters

im super excited to have xillia again soon, and I hope that they take the continued warm reception of their older games as a sign

tales is one of those games i bought on sale and never played

I imagine phantasia is beyond unlikely

because if they ever "remade" it

they'd either have to bundle like 10 other remakes for it

Or make a brand new game revolving around it

Cause it's too short

Now that I want a switch 2

They only sell bundles for 50 more for a stupid digital game I don't want

Walmart still has the base model alone but they're out doing the scalpers

And charging 560 for it like wtf

[stone olive]

Damn its real

Silksong gameplay that is

[copper remnant]

i honestly think it doesn't mean anything if they don`t give information about it

release date, or the state of developement, something. gameplay... i've seen mods like that, idk

[livid elbow]

its overhyped at this point and its not gonna meet the expectations of the hardcore fans

[copper remnant]

i think expectations are too high, cause they kept this thing a secret for so long, making look like it's some super secret sauce.

and well, if you take 15 years of development(idk how long it was) you expect it to be extremely polished, cause they can't make an excuse saying it was hard or didn't have time

[shell slate]

half life 3 will blow it out of the water

[livid elbow]

yeah we shall see

[shell slate]

[steep crest]

TF3 when

[livid elbow]

i was trying so so hard to recall half life story yesterday lmao

i can barely remember how to spell gordon freeman

[livid elbow]

tf3 is overwatch

[steep crest]

ehhhh i know what you mean but also there are enough mechanical differences and TF has a goofy-ass setting going for it

[copper remnant]

overwatch just stole the best ideas from it

[livid elbow]

not sure a space gorilla named winston shooting lasers at you is goofy enough

[steep crest]

i mean they both have silly stuff but the tone of OW is more serious, as little as lore matters. i liked ow1 and probably played it as much as tf2 back when my friends played but tf2, maybe because of bigger teams in casual maps, was a bit more comfortable to play solo. also pros/cons of having a big roster of locked loadouts vs a small roster of semi-customizable loadouts makes them different enough

like OW is "save the world" and TF is "corporate espionage between companies run by 2 over the top australians"

[livid elbow]

its the curse of live service games guess what will happen if they don't expand the roster

tbh this might be a hot take they are lucky they axed their PVE mode because i bet no one really cares about OW story

[steep crest]

i thought i would like it... way, way back when it was first rumored but the pve halloween modes made me realize i wouldn't

...same thing with the tf2 pve modes, maybe i just don't like pve shooters

[livid elbow]

anyways there is also marvel rivals now hero shooter is just too competitive tf3 is gonna be a long shot

[thick coral]

WAIT WHAT

oh right ryza is getting the DX treatment

no options to upgrade too

they know ryza sells so people will buy again anyway

i think they updated ryza graphics last year before confirming remasters so lol

also ryza 3 is only 2 years old and already getting a remastered version feels so..

Nor have i bought it even

Gonna be a tight Q4, with school, new games and backlog

[worthy ridge]

They are separate games….

If you want an example of how it is go look at symphonia hd on the ps3…. You get both halves of the story in 1 game but they launched separately….

[cobalt spade]

Yea but its 2025

I see the complaints of the game being seperate as completely valid

[worthy ridge]

It’s 2025 but that doesn’t say much… kinda need to get things to work on the platform in order to sell it…

It’s more than just put it on a disk/cart/storefront…

Its comparability restructuring and going over the files to make sure the game runs on the host platform as well as redoing any assets for the new system/control scheme

The ps3 is a different file system than the ps4 and even 5

[south dawn]

aite

[worthy ridge]

thats also just the obvious stuff...

it goes much deeper than that....

Thats a good price tag.

[queen island]

8bitdo controllers are great

i have one myself

[modest cipher]

Wonder if gulikit has a switch 2 one yet

alltho I assume switch 1 controllers work on switch 2?

[unreal osprey]

if they have a firmware update from the maker, 3rd party switch 1 controllers will work

[sand shuttle]

just another game added to the stacked september lol

[meager kelp]

The end of sept is wild

[wise spire]

september and october are wild for me

the big finale being xillia at the end of october

[wispy scroll]

everyday is wild for me

[wise spire]

and i guess kirby air riders in november, but thats not a huge game for me

[wispy scroll]

jk , not playing that now

[modest cipher]

air riders is my next big currently announced w/ release date title

Whole reason I bought my switch 2 lol

alltho I did stumble upon this which is releasing soon and im interested in https://hyke-northernlights.com/?target=system

[wise spire]

ill buy it and enjoy it, but i barely ever played any kirby games in my life, so it's not really hyped for me. i know people really loved the first game tho

[meager kelp]

Oh shit last epoch season starts today?

[modest cipher]

Sure would be nice if they announced a new zelda

Especially if it was traditional

And not Age Of Calamity 2 Electric Boogaloo no one asked for

[wise spire]

didnt we just get 2 new zeldas in the last 2 years tho?

[modest cipher]

Really dont think most people would lump the zelda zelda game as zelda

[wise spire]

idk im not a zelda gamer, i just know its in the same series with the same characters

[modest cipher]

Last traditional zelda we had was uhhhhhhh

2013

Or 2015 if you count tri force heroes. ill let that happen ye

So 2015, 10 years ago

Sense then we've only had breath of wild and tears of the kingdom

[wise spire]

the next zelda game im lookng forward to is the one by shovel knight devs tbh. i was never invested in actual zelda cause i only grew up with 1

[modest cipher]

Both of which no one would call traditional

[wispy scroll]

[modest cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/legend-of-zelda-minish-cap-attic-cafe-link-gif-19060632

I get why they do it sense 3d is cheaper

but heavy true

I hate the plasticy models of the recent side-zeldas

[wise spire]

big same. that's the only game other than 1 that i finished

aged so well

[meager kelp]

Did they say how much Silksong is yet?

[sand shuttle]

No they havent

isn't that genre always a hodgepodge of genres?

got in the blue protocol beta

[thick coral]

update us pls

im curious about the gacha/$$/p2w?? stuff

[livid elbow]

oh (stores my pitchfork back)

[thick coral]

LOL

HOLD FOR A BIT

IT MIGHT BE GOOD

[pliant rock]

who is even doing blue protocol now?

[livid elbow]

i will just let people have fun (for now before i go into my p2w mmo rant)

[thick coral]

im ready for the p2w mmo rant whenever u unleash it

[livid elbow]

for now

[thick coral]

LOL

[pliant rock]

after spending 1.6k hours on Cost Ark in less than a year....

I never want to touch another p2w mmo again

still have a better bard then FFXIV though

[livid elbow]

to be fair tho i have played like 5 f2p mmos i have never ever seen such sophisticated bots on lost ark

yes they absolutely obliterated the economy

the korean version works so much better because its ID verified

just thinking about it lost ark has so much stop gaps to correct the in game economy really good taxation system and a secondary discounted premium tab

[pliant rock]

the poeple I played Cost Ark with all migrated to the mushroom game

[livid elbow]

but still lost to the black market

[copper remnant]

dammit i'm reading cost ark trying to understand if it was a typo or something else

cause at first i thought you were talking about the dinosaur mmo

[livid elbow]

mushroom game gonna make a bigger comeback this year once they annouce the release date for classic world

mushroom game is inevitable

[livid elbow]

cost ark, bot ark, lost wallet, the classics lmao

[steep crest]

mushroom game?

[pliant rock]

mushroom game

aka origins of stal

[cobalt spade]

[steep crest]

ohhhh

[zealous grail]

haven't tried it yet. will try it tomorrow.

[silver heath]

day 1 difference between u and a whale is like 50% difference and it closes slowly overtime but u never catch up and whales push further with spikes when events happen etc for cn servers thats the p2w situation

i did my research for this game but idk im so 50-50 about it

[livid elbow]

this reminds me of the days of clash of clan when it first release

because its a mobile game that gets a yearly update people will eventually catch up to it

BUT

here comes a clan with [UAE] in their game tag

literally not joking literally arab oil princes and royalty get into it everyone that takes around 6 month to get to max level they did it in ONE

BY ONE I MEAN ONE DAY

you will catch up eventually but the whales get there 1000x faster

sorry for the rant i really have to stop myself gn

[thick coral]

bruh

nvm i guess!!

i dont really want to play anything in the form of p2w

its a valid rant though im ngl

i get them needing to earn money but

[livid elbow]

honestly i would still recommend people to play maplestory

[thick coral]

maple is nice

i had a good time

[pliant rock]

I think I played for maybe a week before quitting

but that was 10+ years ago

[thick coral]

i prefer the older one over new though

mushroom game

[pliant rock]

ok

first digit

almost not a 1

probably touched it within a few years of launch

[livid elbow]

that shyt can run on windows xp man

i am still amazed to this day

one thing that is revolutionary too is it can pack a lot players in a single server because of its multi channel technology

a really populated mmo is just appealing to me

[thick coral]

@potent barn login

[cobalt spade]

looks at SEA maple server population

[steep crest]

hell yea wasn't expecting a demo

[thick coral]

i got into bp!! might try later on stream

cant wait for 500 ping

[cobalt spade]

High ping when playing mmos as a singaporean my beloved

[thick coral]

HAHA

time to find out how much we rubberband

[cobalt spade]

I like when i played blade and soul pvp and my character teleports 2 steps forward, and my health bar also teleports away into gray screen

[thick coral]

NO

I GET IT

I WAS THERE HAHAHA

i played bns during launch and im like perma rubberbanding LOL

HOLY

[cobalt spade]

It should be mandated that all games around the world be free and time be eternal everlasting

Because

What and how the fuck

Do we get time and money for everything

[sand shuttle]

If it wasn't priced so expensive I'd have gotten it on release

No way a remake should be costing that much

[potent barn]

LOGGGG INNNNN

[stone olive]

I wonder how many will actually enjoy BP, cuz its pretty much a Gacha in MMO format with TIMEGATED CONTENT

Were talking.. Actual real life time timegate.

Also heres a spreadsheet on what to do for the days.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tXjvlzRw7IGsh-rRfdChVZdmpM_l0tfDDEp20favUFA/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[timid badger]

Timegated gacha MMO

[stone olive]

Yeah, basically everyone will be stuck at the same level and everything

[wispy scroll]

damn you wanna lvl ahead?

how about no

you always say mmo is not respecting your time? now we help you manage your time

meanwhile you can go play other game

https://tenor.com/view/yoship-gif-27484560

[cobalt spade]

LOL

something about this is just funny as fuck

[wispy scroll]

that being said

mmo that i cant grind

is kinda sad

[stone olive]

I mean you can somewhat level ahead

But it requires.. MANY hours of afk farming

Think BDO

Like someone said it would take 80hrs when youre 59 trying to hit 60 if you dont have " Energy " / " Timegated "

And you could just wait a day and hit 60 fast

Oh and ... The game FORCES you to be social and part of a guild
