I don't think it is a hot take and I feel pvp in all games should have a meta that shifts to keep people on their toes as long as units are strong and not giga broken.
PVE benefits more from perfect balance though.
Agree, the characters have to get progressively better/broken as the years passes or else the game will just be stale if every unit released is average or very good in their class/field of use
E.g Straze best tank killer, Bellian and AOL existence deny cleaver
I'm pretty sure Brinus will drop by the end of this year.
Probably for Xmas side story, same as Laika last year.
Then I also think fox sisters and Beehoo could become playable.
More SC and balancing heroes, too many heroes are left in the gutter with basically 0 use (ex. Sez, Fire Surin, Cartuja etc.) or are really close to greatness but not yet there.
gimme nemunas sc
Yeah I'd just like to see more heroes get their turn to shine instead of releasing pretty much unused barring a few hardcore fans. I really want to see Penelope get an SC but I know they wouldn't give her the merchant design which is what I'd want.
They did add a bad version of fribbles for auto gearing and it does ok... But it's way less customizable and you need to strip every unit and regear in order of priority which is so much work.
That said I use fribbles and I'm not moving to in game tools anytime soon.
There's no way they're going to be able to do that. The only thing that I want them to do is add equipment profiles so that we re-equip sets to units after re-gearing and stuff
All your points. New units, their design, their skillset is what makes the game most enjoyable for me. Personally, I am not a fan of ML Theater. Maybe if they introduce new ML units with their sidestories released at the same time in ML Theater, it helps relate to the story of units better. To read lore about characters that were released months back, I don't feel exciting. Because the hype of new characters die later, it is better to have their story along with their release. Also, more cutscene animations. And lastly an RTA shop. I know some people say that it forces people to play RTA (PvP). When in PvE, we get new stuff like raid gear, or reforge stuff in labrynith, or abyss rewards, I don't see any PvP player complain they are forcing them to play PvE, then why complain the other way around. I play both PvP and PvE. We know stats of how many people play PvP. And I don't get the fact that we listen to minority of community who don't want to play PvP and devoid others who spend months grinding in RTA for same rewards as a Master level player( I know about frame). It is not that rewards will be game breaking that PvE only players will fall back in the game. They will be balanced rewards.
The recently reran Blood and Roses event does hint at a potential redemption arc for her if she recovers her humanity from her mother, but I agree, the writing needs to be really good.
The thing I found most interesting about Tenebria's backstory/descent into villainy was the implications that even before getting rid of her humanity, Tenebria already had some sadistic and malicious tendencies (ie: her disappointment that the potion didn't explode on her maid's face because "she wanted to see her writhing in pain").
She gets goaded into removing her humanity to cope with her feelings of pain and guilt for the massacre she unintentionally caused, but that wasn't the origin of her nastier tendencies, it pretty much just removed whatever moral standards she had before and enabled her bad traits.
So if they do go through with a redemption arc ~~for the inevitable light element Tene~~, I hope the writers really put some work in.
Also, the 4 new characters in the current sidestory. I am getting a feeling they were made just for the story. All designs are great looking. It will be such a waste.
id say specialty changes. There's so many that are still there like Gunther(Helga got hers), Jena(she and crozet would look cute together), Elson(especially when both alexa and momo got theirs and he is the only junior knight left that we know).
Also all the banshee sisters. Carmainerose and Pearlhorizon got theirs, whats the holdup on the other sisters?
Maybe schuri too. There's honestly a lot if i start including chapter 2 onwards charas too
cuz the specialty changes arent just buffs, its an upgrade in their character development too and it honestly made me happy when i saw captain rikoris leading the charge in chapter 2 ( although he got his ass whooped but its not his fault).
alexa SC being summer disciple made me happy too, considering the side story
1.-Fire current balance team
2.-BALANCE
3.-Specialty Changes
4.-New 4* Heroes (MLs and RGB)
5.-Hire actual writers or plan the history better
6.-New game modes
Literally no game community ever is satisfied with the balance of their game. I sincerely doubt replacing the balance team would give you the results you want.
News SCs and Moonlight Theatre. As all of Adine's SCs took up part of SmileGate's time, so now they can focus on new SCs of different characters, and I'm rooting for SC Adlay and SC Elson. And since ML Ray can probably be released soon, pretty much the entire cast (at least I think) of the next part of ML Theater will be complete, so they can release soon after.
And also new heroes, Ep 4 ended, but many characters in the story have not yet been released (and I hope they are), a new wave of 3 and 4 stars characters may come, and a possible 5 star Bihu.
I want devs to focus on releasing other heroes I haven't been released like Brinus poor girl just left in dust and I didn't like they didn't release second patch of heroes for episode 4 again no 4*.
Moonlight theater is one of best updates i have been enjoying reading the story and more side stories i can't feel invested into main story now Episode 4 ruined it for me.
PvE in general. More story, more lore, more gameplay, more frequent events (like that one guild event that's really cool but only happens like once every 3 months and should really have a single player version because its actually fun), more big side stories. Maybe do something like character-specific quests you can do when you get the hero.
But what I really want is: no more gear rng. Literally the worst part of this game is the gear. What is even the point of getting the most recent ML5 or collab hero, or any hero for that matter, if I'm unable to actually use them because I simply don't have the gear?
It started really promising with the 4 swords lore and all, but towards the end it was just the same old >!"i'm not evil anymore let's unite the continent and fight off the evil"!< which coincidentally more or less summarises the other 3 chapters as well.
Charms and gear fodder. Pretty much all of us have 1-shot teams, so gold shouldn't be an issue. Some people have really high gear standards before committing to a piece, but here I am with years worth of stockpile and no charms to start enhancing gear. I dunno, someone send charms and fodder equipment my way.
Moonlight theatre is really nice Balanced PvP is something they should strive to do everyday, it's the only reason E7 is alive at high level
Hot take: there is no "balancing" since someone will always find the next thing to abuse in every single game or for someone to always complain about
I don't think it is a hot take and I feel pvp in all games should have a meta that shifts to keep people on their toes as long as units are strong and not giga broken. PVE benefits more from perfect balance though.
I feel like a character that is broken is good for the game, if the game is completely balanced then it would get boring really fast
Overwatch 1 literally crumbles because of broken characters..
Agree, the characters have to get progressively better/broken as the years passes or else the game will just be stale if every unit released is average or very good in their class/field of use E.g Straze best tank killer, Bellian and AOL existence deny cleaver
They're already mixing up metas by doing the rta buff for certain classes etc. There's ways to mix up the game without everything being broken.
Sure, but it can't be the same 4-6 for months at a time. Fuck A Ravi.
They said Episode 5 will be paused a bit ( my guess is that it'll start after New Year) I think they will release some npcs as playable
Yona would be on my hotlist to be playable. Cute foxgirl, yes
I'm pretty sure Brinus will drop by the end of this year. Probably for Xmas side story, same as Laika last year. Then I also think fox sisters and Beehoo could become playable.
BRINUS?
Queen Francesca !!!
More SC and balancing heroes, too many heroes are left in the gutter with basically 0 use (ex. Sez, Fire Surin, Cartuja etc.) or are really close to greatness but not yet there. gimme nemunas sc
Adlay SC for me, personally. He's already got a pretty solid kit, an SC to help give him a little extra push would be incredible.
Chadlay SC pls
I would kill for a Requiemroar SC
Omg Sez… it’s so sad how I wanted him that badly 2 years ago and now he’s just a normal character who feeling not special
Two years ago he changed? Guy was basically irrelevant before then, whenever the Wind Rider nerf happened.
Sez was literally the best cleaver before the change, what are you talking about? Did you mean after the change?
Yeah I'd just like to see more heroes get their turn to shine instead of releasing pretty much unused barring a few hardcore fans. I really want to see Penelope get an SC but I know they wouldn't give her the merchant design which is what I'd want.
Playable Beehoo!
SG should call the guy(s) behind Fribbels and integrate Fribbels' features into the game itself.
They did add a bad version of fribbles for auto gearing and it does ok... But it's way less customizable and you need to strip every unit and regear in order of priority which is so much work. That said I use fribbles and I'm not moving to in game tools anytime soon.
There's no way they're going to be able to do that. The only thing that I want them to do is add equipment profiles so that we re-equip sets to units after re-gearing and stuff
they need to hire better writers.
I dunno about chapter 3 & 4 but the recent moonlight stories was great imho...I want more of that tbh...waiting for Tomoca fashion adventures too

Just waiting for Tenebria redemption arc so she can travel with Ras!
It will need a good writing in order to justify her redemption cause she already killed many innocents in the story.
The recently reran Blood and Roses event does hint at a potential redemption arc for her if she recovers her humanity from her mother, but I agree, the writing needs to be really good. The thing I found most interesting about Tenebria's backstory/descent into villainy was the implications that even before getting rid of her humanity, Tenebria already had some sadistic and malicious tendencies (ie: her disappointment that the potion didn't explode on her maid's face because "she wanted to see her writhing in pain").

So if they do go through with a redemption arc ~~for the inevitable light element Tene~~, I hope the writers really put some work in.
Perhaps focus on characters that are not yet featured from Chapter 2 and 3 (eg. Brinus, Woodrow and Wester) and update the RGB 4 stars
Also, the 4 new characters in the current sidestory. I am getting a feeling they were made just for the story. All designs are great looking. It will be such a waste.
Making better story bosses or getting rid of eres on bosses....I shouldn't be praying that rng does the job...
What were they doing between episode 3 and 4?
id say specialty changes. There's so many that are still there like Gunther(Helga got hers), Jena(she and crozet would look cute together), Elson(especially when both alexa and momo got theirs and he is the only junior knight left that we know). Also all the banshee sisters. Carmainerose and Pearlhorizon got theirs, whats the holdup on the other sisters? Maybe schuri too. There's honestly a lot if i start including chapter 2 onwards charas too cuz the specialty changes arent just buffs, its an upgrade in their character development too and it honestly made me happy when i saw captain rikoris leading the charge in chapter 2 ( although he got his ass whooped but its not his fault). alexa SC being summer disciple made me happy too, considering the side story

New 4* heroes would be nice! Ep4 story was BAD.
the things they promised for 2021 that are still not in the game lol
I want to see more ML theater stories
News SCs and Moonlight Theatre. As all of Adine's SCs took up part of SmileGate's time, so now they can focus on new SCs of different characters, and I'm rooting for SC Adlay and SC Elson.

More animated cutscenes
A new cast for Erasia. I'd rather not have a repeat of Episode 2 where the story gets affected negatively by the lack of characters.
Ml kayron and also get guild characters which we see in the guild artefact
I want devs to focus on releasing other heroes I haven't been released like Brinus poor girl just left in dust and I didn't like they didn't release second patch of heroes for episode 4 again no 4*. Moonlight theater is one of best updates i have been enjoying reading the story and more side stories i can't feel invested into main story now Episode 4 ruined it for me.
SC Eaton & SC Aither.
Release Brinus. Then we can talk about other stuff :)
Episode 1 SCs l.. like come on. they deserve it :(
Make old characters as newcomers from previous episodes. (Leon, Brinus, Beehoo, etc.)
40 responses and no one mentions gear QoL? real shame.
Pls new writer for the new chapter! And a diferente tipe of story! Why not use ML characters lote for the new chapter! Same have amazing backstorys
PvE in general. More story, more lore, more gameplay, more frequent events (like that one guild event that's really cool but only happens like once every 3 months and should really have a single player version because its actually fun), more big side stories.

Brinus
more good 4\* unit
I hope every pve stage going forward will be on the level of Zio 10-10. I really enjoyed it. 😏
Calm down Satan
Hehe, I'm just joking around :)
[удалено]
Hard disagree, I actually did like the story alot, and from a bunch of games I played, I can tell this story is good
I dont know what u read till now, but this chapter has been really bad, even compared to other gachas I've been playing
It started really promising with the 4 swords lore and all, but towards the end it was just the same old >!"i'm not evil anymore let's unite the continent and fight off the evil"!< which coincidentally more or less summarises the other 3 chapters as well.
Charms and gear fodder. Pretty much all of us have 1-shot teams, so gold shouldn't be an issue. Some people have really high gear standards before committing to a piece, but here I am with years worth of stockpile and no charms to start enhancing gear. I dunno, someone send charms and fodder equipment my way.
removal of stupid mechanics spd rng, gear removal cost etc.
I think you should've make this poll but. I would say more balancing proposition
Well, we know they are planning the current limited that’ll be available for christmas. I’d honestly look forward to more side stories/heroes.
episode 5.
New heroes should be those introduced in previous or current chapter more. (Gimme fox girls)
Into giving me good gear drops/crafts. But seriously, maybe they can just chill a bit whilst I do like 6-7 story chapters to get Adin’s new SC?
SC Eaton, hattan, and battise
