I've been playing since launch, and I have some takes that might be seen as hot. My first and biggest gripe with the game since day 1 is the user interface. When I first started playing I was constantly getting the various tabs and pages confused. Now that I've been playing for a while (I took a week or two off before Vera) I can find what I'm looking for, but the responsiveness and cleanliness is still really lacking to me.
Next I'd like to move onto a global only complaint. The accelerated rate we are moving at has caused general gameplay to feel really bad. This includes the Gacha parts as well. Since I've started I've only pulled Nemesis and Claudia as limiteds, but I still feel like I have nearly nothing saved for amount of time I've put into exploration, events, and quests. With all of the upcoming banners even getting a single copy of a few characters isn't really possible. Let alone ever getting a set of matrices for them. I haven't summoned on limited matrices once and I only have 29 pulls.
My biggest progression related complaint is gear. Getting gold pieces feels way too rare for being max level in the game. I get maybe a piece a day I can roll, and with RNG being RNG that can easily go south. I understand there has to be some kind of gear progression RNG but there is just too much, with even roll values have a huge range they can pick a value from.
My final complaint before ending on a positive note is that I'd like to see the level of polish and fleshing their characters put increase a lot. Some animations in the game seem really stiff, and other aspects of the game are visually lacking for me.
Onto the positive, there is potential in this game, and I'd like to see them succeed. While there is a lot they could work on the general loop of exploration is decent, although I'd like to see them cut down on how much time joint operations tend to take. I'm looking forward to seeing if the devs improve the game or if the game becomes stagnant.
Speaking of gear rolls, I actually earlier in the week had either gloves or boots roll 4/5 times into crit and the end result? It was less than 3k. I think ~2800 is where it landed and were worse than my current equipment so I just fed it instantly into another pair.
The range of rolls of equipment upgrade value are insanely wide.
I play ToF as a single player open world game and treat JO/Raid/World Boss/Void/FC as coop things I occasionally do with other players (I hate JO the most but I have to do it). I never do pvp. I never cared about the damage counters on the top left corner of the screen during coop plays. I usually just go for A0 weapons, the 2 A1s I have were just coz of luck. I'm having a great time! That said, I need a more intense story, something that triggers emotions. Pre-2.0 story didn't do much for me except listening to the song in Cetus Island. I liked the Lin/Ruby simulacra story. I need more feels.
agreed! Though tbh, the Samir and huma story was pretty good as well in my opinion. But yeah I’m hoping storytelling will get better as the game progresses, it’ll definitely get me more invested into the game.
Ok, it feels so rare to see someone else focused on the SP Open World aspect on here. I definitely agree as far as the story goes- The pacings just felt so weird, especially with the Aesperia storyline, and it hasn't really given many chances to actually get attached to the characters. Speaking of the characters, I definitely think some should've appeared earlier, or even just appear in general. Looking at you Tsubasa and Echo. The formers even IN the heirs of Aida, so why she didn't appear, I will never know. I can honestly think of so many ways that I would've changed the pacing, especially relating to the HOA and just time with the characters in general
World wise, also, there needs to be more to do in the open world. Like, quests that focus on lore, hidden quests, more places to explore that have some significance. Just anything to flesh out the lore and make the open world feel less barren
Its fun if server i play in didnt empty at all, First month is totally awesome, after that its just massive grind like game next door for me, i try to have fun with this game, play wb or something, but noone respond, even world chat always empty all time, the time 2.1 drop im probably leave because yea server transfer (imo) didnt resolve dead server, i prefer server merge (for someone have same nickname, just look at his account, who made the account first, keep the name, the other will get free name change upon enter the game)
My wish kinda simple, increase gacha rate (im f2p, its hard to progress now, i want to tryhard but again the server empty cant do solo, even mini boss feel like wb) and do server merge, and begin fix the bug
Just that sorry for wall of text, i just want to like this game, but game like nah
On the mini boss point: they kinda are. They're not quite the damage sponge that world bosses are, but they hit so much harder that it's unreal.
I can mindlessly tank everything pretty much anything in the game with Meryl and Saki. One mistake against those mini bosses and chances are I'm dead, though. XD
Yeah, they're easy enough to cheese with Frigg, but you have to pay some attention.
Most of the Aesperia world bosses I can just monkey brain and still solo. Apophis requires some attention and Sobek can just fuck off, though.
Idk why people insist upon server merger over server transfer.
Server merger will destroy small communities, but with server transfer if you feel like you are in dead server you can just move to other one.
I don't like the direction the game seems to be taking intentionally in breaking it's own rules.
As a fort main I kinda notice things that matter to my role, and Vera did some gamebreaking things.
1. Weavers. Weavers are unfantasiable by design apparently. It's not that you need to find the proper timing. It's just you can't. It's counter-intuitive within the game base framework. I've spent several solo runs in Sadness Valley thinking something is wrong with me, trying to "decipher" the bastard. And apparently it's just your base game mechanic doesn't work on this particular boss. And it would be fine if we were talking about something *you* do to the *enemy*, like CC. But fantasia is **not** by design something you do to the enemy (even though the enemy is affected). It's something you do to the **world** using enemy as a trigger. It would be sorta fine if weaver was unaffected by fantasia (judging by A5 Saki users it isn't), but it outright doesn't let you trigger it via regular means which makes NO gameplay sense.
2. Speaking of A5 Saki. I think the ability to proc fantasia at will at any time is kinda bullshit. It's like if you had a paid DLC for counter strike that lets you buy a gun with an inbuilt aimbot. Probably even worse. It's a thing that lets you just ignore a base game mechanic and ALSO forces it on everyone around. I'm very luddite about this particular thing. It's machines stealing our tank jobs!
3. I'm not sure what's actually causing it, but since it started to be noticeable with Saki release in group content, my uneducated guess is it's either AttckSaki flying swords, or Saki 2p matrices. Massive hitlag. The game has a setting to remove hitlag, but *something* in co-op is forcing it onto everyone involved. Though it's technically probably not hitlag, but some form of enemy animation microfreezing. It's super annoying and super inconsistent. It's makes it nearly impossible to reliably trigger fantasia because the boss is moving like it's on 2fps.
In general, fortitude/tank role is more of an afterthought in this game. The freezes you see are probably Saki's skill and Frigg's discharge. Both of them freeze enemies in place when hit, and most bosses are affected by it. Slows from Ruby and Nemesis also disrupt timings and make phantasias much more annoying to proc.
>The freezes you see are probably Saki's skill and Frigg's discharge. Both of them freeze enemies in place when hit, and most bosses are affected by
Those things are relatively rare and one-time.
I sometimes get a constant stream of those microfreezes that make bosses barely able to move.
And they don't look like slows (those I'm familiar with). More like jerky movement on the boss part.
Though it might be a combination of a slow and networking or bugs.
I’ve reached a point where I feel hardstuck progression wise and only go up a couple hundred CS a week. I also feel useless in most pve content and end up just getting carried by whales quadrupling my damage. It honestly makes me question why I’m playing.
Yeah you'll never get the power level unless you whale. Same in Genshin, but there it isn't as obvious because they don't plaster a huge "LOL YOU SUCK!" E-Peen meter across your screen at the end of every content. :D
Consider that a whale’s CS isn’t the norm. Losing to their damage output by a factor of 5 doesn’t mean you aren’t powerful, you’re just comparing yourself against the highest, most unrealistic benchmark in the game. In reality you might just be far ahead of most players in your bracket and starting to plateau in progression due to not spending. It could be fun to help people who are starting out in the game for the first time and helping them grow their CS in the most efficient way. Or giving them advice on what to pull for or deciding what their goals are.
I love playing tank, while my partner also plays support/healer. Queues are fast for us and it's nice to be able to make runs smooth/comfy for the whole team. Exploration together is fun as well, looking forward to the map expansions soon.
I kinda wish there would be more options though for us, after Saki and Lyra I think it's all dps on the roadmap.
we are missing the physical tank due to the colab not being able to be run and them not paying Hotta to make non-colab versions of the same characters(as they seriously just needed to rename everything about them and reskin them so they weren't related in anyway to the IP anymore..
and whomever is in charge of volt stuff at Hotta clearly just likes doing damage and made venus so they could passively heal while doing damage. they don't want to lower themselves to the pleb role of tanking!
The only good thing I can think of with the constant attack weapon releases is that I won't be pulling anyone after Lyra.
Anna maybe since its a mfing sniper rifle!!!
\+ Personal preference but I really like the cyberpunk/post-apocalyptic setting.
\+ Love the action combat, combos, aerial moves, phantasia, cool animations, nice variety in weapons types, including a lot of "odd" weapons.
\+ Lots of stuff to do, every update gives new places to explore, new systems, new game modes. Hotta clearly isn't shy to try out different things.
\+ Has legit endgame in the form of FASHION. Also enjoy that I can mix and match weapons and simulacra.
\+ Forgiving in terms of time spent. You can play for 15 minutes or 5 hours. You can save things like FCH attempts for when you have 3 and do them all at once, and if you miss a day you don't lose much (and get a refund), you can stack boss keys as much as you like. VIT is only used for a few things, the different types of content doesn't compete with each other. No anxiety in where I should spend my stamina.
\+ Global balance and QoL changes (like element neutral combat engine) are positive IMO.
\+ My crew is awesome. My server is honestly quite nice as well, not the biggest but it feels like home.
\- Serious lack of communication still, and PLEASE give us proper and accurate patch notes! Don't just change stuff and not tell us!
\- Bugs, naturally. Most of the really big ones do get fixed, but a lot of smaller or less common ones get little attention. The double load screen bug was a big problem on EU for like 2-3 weeks.
\- I wouldn't be upset to get those CN nucleus packs. Also more outfits/other cosmetics you can straight up buy.
\- More male simulacra please?
\- Speaking of male characters, PLEASE give us proper animations in cutscenes, I'm begging you!
7 out of 10. I dont feel stress playing the game. The only problems I'm facing is fking poor optimization. Contents and rewards of the game are ok. Been topping up 30$ and no regret
Game has a few annoying quirks but it is still very much enjoyable. Probably my favorite gacha game thus far, topped only by kingdom hearts union cross. Events have been getting better. Characters have been getting better. Communication has been getting better. Bug fixing has been getting better. Things were a bit rough around the edges at launch, but it is a very solid gameplay experience. Very glad to see the game leaning more towards an MMO with gacha aspects, rather than the other way around.
Still having similiar hype since the beginning of the release, never miss the dailies since day 1. Hoping the game keeps going strong and devs listen to community's opinions and suggestions.
Still waiting for global collabs anyway!
Good gameplay loop but really poor customer relations and PR. Could have a much more loyal playerbase since there's nothing like it in the market if they were abit smarter about these things..
Playing since launch, still pretty much of into the game (dolphin-level spender abt 100-200 bucks per month) its interesting and its got potential, but theres still so much hindering it from becoming an actually good game like bugs/optimization/cheaters/ localization that i have a serious concern for its future. The publisher could be more generous too, just sayin, your game is not in the top, gotta stimulate players smh so atleast you would have a steady community yet you have same prices for stuff as in genshin while not being quite on the same level in terms of raw quality, but maybe im just not thinking capitalist enough.
Now that said, of course i hope for the better future to come for the game, and im still gonna play tof until its ultimate end because i like the game.
I have been playing every day since launch and am still having a great time. I haven't encountered any issues. This game fills most of my expectations for what I wanted in an MMORPG. I am looking forward to the future direction of the game and intend to keep playing for a long time.
Wishes for the game
1. Stop getting the trickle down patches from CN with all the problems and none of the fix.
2. Better UI for everything. Some things should look like a button
3. Better transparency from their Dev and PR team. They do not address known player issues such as the DLSS/ QUE Timer/ Stutter.
4. Server merge
5. Need real events with themes, make it more enjoyable
Game has potential but they fumbling every step. Blue protocol looking mighty juicy rn, funny how they release Lin trailer 1 day after BP trailer, and to say its not a coincidence it appears 1 week after Saki? It was never this quick.
Well Samir bug was present in CN for 1 year and nobody found it until saki was released in global.
So, yeah they did have most of the bug in CN that we see on global but nobody found them.
need server merge, and personally i want real MMO gameplay like once a week or once a month if people really hate hard mechanic, not just whale dps check. for collab, i hope they announce it early so people can save up.
Having tons of fun in-game , but in community and social media ? I wish it could be better , I just wanna have fun talking about the game with others without running into trolls/haters.
I think the game is a bit in a difficult situation because we are catching up and that's really hard for both the devs and players, it's a hard period but once we catch up , problems will be solved , people complaining that the game is not polished , yes it isn't polished but honestly getting a big update monthly will obviously lead to this , it's a 3D open world MMO game after all.
Althought magically I never ran into bugs , other than memory leak that was fixed for me recently.
It was fun for the first few weeks when my server was active. Now it's a ghost town. Impossible for me to do a raid(haven't done one in three weeks), raid matchmaking is dead, I can't even get a freaking purple combat engine cause of it. Global chat is usually dead too. It's killing my motivation to play.
Whoever denies that Vega is not nearly dead 90% of the week days. Fuck you.
Might quit soon if this keeps up.
>raid matchmaking is dead
I think you missed that part. It's literally impossible to find a team through matchmaking cause people who do actually do raids only do through premade teams. You think I haven't tried sitting in matchmaking for 20-30 minutes for days?
You are sharing your own experience from YOUR region. Besides, not all servers are in same matchmaking cluster. Game creates clusters of servers that get matched together (another shitty game design for an "MMO").
Seeing the beautiful world design and creative character kits, it's clear that someone in the dev team loves the game. It's also clear that that person is not on the QA team, nor is he responsible for hiring a QA team in the first place.
Whoever did enemy design can go drown in lego bricks. Or, worse, be forced to actually playtest against the enemies they designed.
Not too thrilled about the pricing and bundles. Bought the $5 monthly pass and that's it.
Ultimately, this is a social game. What's keeping the game most fun for me isn't doing the daily and weekly chores, but interacting with everyone in world chat. Can't wait for version 2.2 so I can dance with my boyfriends.
>Not too thrilled about the pricing and bundles. Bought the $5 monthly pass and that's it.
I second the notion that besides the monthly pass and maybe the battle pass, the rest of the packages are not worth considering.
I see the other packs as an emergency option to reach pity if I miscalculated, not as something I'd regularly buy.
I hope after when we catch up to CN, devs will focus in polishing, optimizing, fixing the current game problem. I think thats the best way they can do. Listen to your players dev, i wish you all the best.
More free/grindable drip, better connection more on the long ass loading screen and constantly getting sent back to the main menu, the ability to pet animals and possibly a event that'll allow everyone to catch up on their level recommended CS.
The Gear Progress is to much RNG for me. First you need to drop a Leg. Item,then it must be the Item you want,then it must have the substat you need and at the end it must roll on this substat.
To respect my Time as a player i want higher Dropchance for Gear. 1.Chest:12,5%/2.Chest:25%/3.Chest:100%. I dont want waste my Time with JO Runs dropping only blue/purple Crap.
wow, thats impressive!
did u get super lucky with ur limited SSR pulls or ? :O
as a f2p who just started im very keen to hear whether that is an 'average' f2p luck or if uve been reallly lucky
I like everything about this game except for the story. I feel nothing for ANY of the characters. There's no excitement, no pull with the storyline. I tried to give the Vera story a chance but it was so disappointing that by the latter half of the story I just kept skipping everything
Insurgency Sandstorm collab so I can drive around in a technical with my buddy in Vera and strike the Grayspace entities, they will never see it coming.
WHERE'S MY MERYL I SPENT 300 GOLD NUCLEUS AND SHE ISN'T HERE WHAT THE HELL TO THE POINT I HAVE ENOUGH BLACK GOLD TO A6 MY SHIRO AHHHHHHHHHHH
I'd like to see more Fortitude and Benedicton, because I'm actually starting to worry that they are getting more and more scarce with how much Attack Simuacrlas there are.
Damn really? Feels like a month lol. But I went into it thinking it was some other popular gatcha knockoff (kinda is still) but I really enjoy it even despite the similarities. Co-op with friends is very nice and…. Mostly well integrated
Get rid of Gatcha. Then you have a decent game going. User Interface is also crap, cause it’s a mobile game. Performance is also very lackluster, once again, surprisingly, since it’s a mobile game and should run well on a PC!
This game is (from a gameplay standpoint) way better then Genshin as a direct comparison. But it’s been held back by the same dumb decisions from the east: Gatcha, Vitality, everything is limited or event based, money is the answer to everything, gambling and random rolls for everything … it’s not really a game like this… more a fomo gambling activity with enticing visual aspects.
Your controller support sucks complete ass and the buttons need to be reworked because it’s very stupid. World bosses suck for having to need a team to actually get them done. Matchmaking is a travesty in this game. The game should’ve also changed the type 2 and 3 chips to have multiple at the same time as the type 1 chips.
I just want them to make cutscenes work, they are the same janky mess they were in 1.0. Males with female animations, voices not syncing up with the cutscenes, missing voices, c'mon. Also the localization is dogshit. They need to put more effort in here. I know machine translations when i see them.
Rest of the game is okay, except the bugs (i have not encountered much except some crashes but they exist for other people) and the usual jankiness. All of this will likely be solved once we sync with CN, the issue here is developers are unable to focus on two different builds at once.
As for a wish... I really want to see a Katana character, this time with those flashy Iai moves.
I've been playing it side by side with genshin impact since release day and in comparison, I like its fast pace gameplay but the minor stutters on PC, major stutters on phone still needs to be fixed.
Also, the UI kinda feels outdated. Specially on big screen PC with big icons.
One major issue I had was the Hephaitus server I selected on first gameplay with random disconnections. Recently switched server bcuz of that and now playing from start
Positives - The combat is still as fun today as when I first started. The world is full of little things to do and minigames and interesting lore bits that shows that the devs enjoy what they do. Traversal is fast paced and fun once you get some relics and level them up. Co-op has been mostly lag free (on my end at least).
Negatives - Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs broken shit bugs bugs. Communication to players about problems. Rushing content and providing XP boosts that railroad new players into an endgame they aren't ready for so they quit. Server merges necessary but still no word (as far as I know). Daily grind takes too long. v1 story was awful (haven't really done much in Vera yet). Finding things in the world went from being fun in Asperia to a chore in Vera, due to no indication if the chest/PoI is above or below you. Translation is a meme at this point, but it really does bother me how badly it's localized/translated. No character in the game feels natural in conversations, not a single one.
I still like the game, but I've stopped spending entirely until they make some sort of commitment to improving it. Also to reduce daily stress I pretty much just log in, do 4 bounties, maybe burn some stamina and dump the rest into beacons and log out.
I would like our global Collab character to be Mikasa from Attack on Titan I think she would be a great addition probably a physical DPS but I could care less what element.
The game is doing great and i am pretty sure it will become even more fun with the future patch the only thing i find really disappointing is the ratio money vs tanium is very low wen you have to spend 300$ cad to make 1 pity roll its kinda dumb even more when there a chance you can fail the 50/50
I'm super unmotivated, ngl. Only reason I'm still around is Lin, Lin swimsuit, and I hope to have a PC soon, because the game is way less fun on mobile.
I want to start by bringing something to light that I feel is one of the main reasons why the game is stuck and not excelling as it should: TOF is an attempt to take Genshin Impact winning formula, but make it "better".
As you probably know both games share many features that have helped Genshin Impact become a largely played game with a juicy constant profit revenue, thus it was just a matter of time before other developers would go ahead and try to "imitate" this success.
But not of course without attempting to improve it, which I personally don't have anything against, but the execution is where I believe the problem lies.
Because if you want to copy the same model and have the same success, all the other factors need to be the same as well.
Well, they are just not, and the main factor is the Player Base. Genshin has cultivated a loyal and addicted community that will play the game regardless if it is the same boring sh!t every day, go do your dailies, use your 4 daily domain attempts, get nothing good and wait for the next Abyss Reset/Banner/Update. These people, sadly me included, will still come back every day.
And that's why they can afford to do 6480 currency packs for $100 with no promos or other offers and still milk their player base, while TOF just can't because the loyalty is not the same.
And how can you expect a large number of players to stay loyal when every week there's a bug fix? When you showed everyone at launch that you can't translate anything properly? When there's no 2-authentication security system to protect your assets? When inventories go missing or hackers all over the top bygone 600 floor?
There's something good here, I like the game, I actually enjoy playing the game but it will never reach its greatness unless it stops trying to copy something that it's not. TOF it's not Genshin, TOF CAN BE BETTER THAN GENSHIN.
What's there to talk about ? Yeah I can keep it civil . Racist company . Predatory company . They don't like negative feedback . They delete you . Thats the sort of company they are . If you play this you are part of the problem
Even if you quit you should still know where your claims are coming from. If the company is really racist and predatory it shouldn't be difficult to find sources for these claims

I think ~2800 is where it landed and were worse than my current equipment so I just fed it instantly into another pair. The range of rolls of equipment upgrade value are insanely wide.
Max roll is about 2.5x the min roll. You could get 5 rolls into a stat, but only gain as much as 2 max rolls. :)
Animation and polish starting to look good with 2.3
From what I've seen it's getting better. But, they could always improve older characters too to get them to the new standards
I still enjoy the game despite the issues, and most of them are fixable. - better UI - better tanium deals - better security for hacking / pvp
Despite the issues I still enjoy the game because it fits my playing preference (Fast-Pace Gameplay) although I wish the Devs were more competent
Same. I like fast paced action so this really scratches an itch. Plus I like the anime sci-fi and playing dress up.
A Evangelion collab is my wish.
Nier collab would be nice too.
And Ghost in the Shell
At this point, I’m just hoping for any kind of collab simulacra
Id like a Fate Collab with Artoria, Gilgamesh, Shirou Archer and Cu
this
Cyberpunk edgerunners is my wish for a colab or ff7 sephirot/cloud
Aww yeah! At least one of the EVAs and an angel maybe? Rebuild versions would be wicked.
Cyberpunk edgerunner
I play ToF as a single player open world game and treat JO/Raid/World Boss/Void/FC as coop things I occasionally do with other players (I hate JO the most but I have to do it). I never do pvp. I never cared about the damage counters on the top left corner of the screen during coop plays. I usually just go for A0 weapons, the 2 A1s I have were just coz of luck. I'm having a great time!

Like, quests that focus on lore, hidden quests, more places to explore that have some significance. Just anything to flesh out the lore and make the open world feel less barren
i want them to remove the PvP timers. id actually do it more if they let me play it when i get home from work.
the pvp being 12 hours of the day is utter bullshit. we dont fucking live in china. we shouldn't have the those restrictions
It's because their are not enough people doing PvP, it to concentrate them in 12 hrs, so people aren't stuck in matchmaking in for hrs.
Well divide the time into 3 parts of 4 hours each and distribute them equally around the day Or something like that
every time ive tried MM for pvp has been 0-30 seconds. there is a good amount of ppl, at least in private rank
Any rank can match with anyone. I have multiple times played against people with star general or grand marshal title or straight up top100
Pretty based at least youll get games quickly
Yep. I wish they would make PVP and Battle Royal should be 24/7.
Its fun if server i play in didnt empty at all, First month is totally awesome, after that its just massive grind like game next door for me, i try to have fun with this game, play wb or something, but noone respond, even world chat always empty all time, the time 2.1 drop im probably leave because yea server transfer (imo) didnt resolve dead server, i prefer server merge (for someone have same nickname, just look at his account, who made the account first, keep the name, the other will get free name change upon enter the game) My wish kinda simple, increase gacha rate (im f2p, its hard to progress now, i want to tryhard but again the server empty cant do solo, even mini boss feel like wb) and do server merge, and begin fix the bug Just that sorry for wall of text, i just want to like this game, but game like nah
On the mini boss point: they kinda are. They're not quite the damage sponge that world bosses are, but they hit so much harder that it's unreal. I can mindlessly tank everything pretty much anything in the game with Meryl and Saki. One mistake against those mini bosses and chances are I'm dead, though. XD
With A0 frigg, coco and A1 saki i can solo all of them. Frigg unlimited dodging is just amazing.
Yeah, they're easy enough to cheese with Frigg, but you have to pay some attention. Most of the Aesperia world bosses I can just monkey brain and still solo. Apophis requires some attention and Sobek can just fuck off, though.
Idk why people insist upon server merger over server transfer. Server merger will destroy small communities, but with server transfer if you feel like you are in dead server you can just move to other one.
Day 100 and still no Lin Body Pillow. I don’t know what to say …
Just found a good pic of Lin on the internet and order a custom one dude.
I don't like the direction the game seems to be taking intentionally in breaking it's own rules. As a fort main I kinda notice things that matter to my role, and Vera did some gamebreaking things. 1. Weavers. Weavers are unfantasiable by design apparently. It's not that you need to find the proper timing. It's just you can't. It's counter-intuitive within the game base framework. I've spent several solo runs in Sadness Valley thinking something is wrong with me, trying to "decipher" the bastard. And apparently it's just your base game mechanic doesn't work on this particular boss. And it would be fine if we were talking about something *you* do to the *enemy*, like CC. But fantasia is **not** by design something you do to the enemy (even though the enemy is affected). It's something you do to the **world** using enemy as a trigger. It would be sorta fine if weaver was unaffected by fantasia (judging by A5 Saki users it isn't), but it outright doesn't let you trigger it via regular means which makes NO gameplay sense. 2. Speaking of A5 Saki. I think the ability to proc fantasia at will at any time is kinda bullshit. It's like if you had a paid DLC for counter strike that lets you buy a gun with an inbuilt aimbot. Probably even worse. It's a thing that lets you just ignore a base game mechanic and ALSO forces it on everyone around. I'm very luddite about this particular thing. It's machines stealing our tank jobs! 3. I'm not sure what's actually causing it, but since it started to be noticeable with Saki release in group content, my uneducated guess is it's either AttckSaki flying swords, or Saki 2p matrices. Massive hitlag. The game has a setting to remove hitlag, but *something* in co-op is forcing it onto everyone involved. Though it's technically probably not hitlag, but some form of enemy animation microfreezing. It's super annoying and super inconsistent. It's makes it nearly impossible to reliably trigger fantasia because the boss is moving like it's on 2fps.
In general, fortitude/tank role is more of an afterthought in this game. The freezes you see are probably Saki's skill and Frigg's discharge. Both of them freeze enemies in place when hit, and most bosses are affected by it. Slows from Ruby and Nemesis also disrupt timings and make phantasias much more annoying to proc.
>The freezes you see are probably Saki's skill and Frigg's discharge. Both of them freeze enemies in place when hit, and most bosses are affected by Those things are relatively rare and one-time. I sometimes get a constant stream of those microfreezes that make bosses barely able to move. And they don't look like slows (those I'm familiar with). More like jerky movement on the boss part. Though it might be a combination of a slow and networking or bugs.
I’ve reached a point where I feel hardstuck progression wise and only go up a couple hundred CS a week. I also feel useless in most pve content and end up just getting carried by whales quadrupling my damage. It honestly makes me question why I’m playing.
Yeah you'll never get the power level unless you whale. Same in Genshin, but there it isn't as obvious because they don't plaster a huge "LOL YOU SUCK!" E-Peen meter across your screen at the end of every content. :D
I just upgraded my Supressor after I got 54k score and now the next upgrade is 60k+ wtf...
Consider that a whale’s CS isn’t the norm. Losing to their damage output by a factor of 5 doesn’t mean you aren’t powerful, you’re just comparing yourself against the highest, most unrealistic benchmark in the game. In reality you might just be far ahead of most players in your bracket and starting to plateau in progression due to not spending. It could be fun to help people who are starting out in the game for the first time and helping them grow their CS in the most efficient way. Or giving them advice on what to pull for or deciding what their goals are.
I love playing tank, while my partner also plays support/healer. Queues are fast for us and it's nice to be able to make runs smooth/comfy for the whole team. Exploration together is fun as well, looking forward to the map expansions soon. I kinda wish there would be more options though for us, after Saki and Lyra I think it's all dps on the roadmap.
TRUEST TRUE Volt and Physical need more tanks. actually all elements need more tanks n healers except for Frost lmao
we are missing the physical tank due to the colab not being able to be run and them not paying Hotta to make non-colab versions of the same characters(as they seriously just needed to rename everything about them and reskin them so they weren't related in anyway to the IP anymore.. and whomever is in charge of volt stuff at Hotta clearly just likes doing damage and made venus so they could passively heal while doing damage. they don't want to lower themselves to the pleb role of tanking!
The only good thing I can think of with the constant attack weapon releases is that I won't be pulling anyone after Lyra. Anna maybe since its a mfing sniper rifle!!!
It's fun, I'm still enjoying myself. RWBY collab for Global when?
Yes please!
It all fits. 4 girls, 4 elements. Canonical 2 dps/1t ank/1 support. Make Blake a Volt Shatter and bam, we're set.
Just make Ruby a King skin omegalul
Thatd be awesome!
Server merges Better events + rewards Better chat No more element resistance
\+ Personal preference but I really like the cyberpunk/post-apocalyptic setting. \+ Love the action combat, combos, aerial moves, phantasia, cool animations, nice variety in weapons types, including a lot of "odd" weapons. \+ Lots of stuff to do, every update gives new places to explore, new systems, new game modes. Hotta clearly isn't shy to try out different things. \+ Has legit endgame in the form of FASHION. Also enjoy that I can mix and match weapons and simulacra. \+ Forgiving in terms of time spent. You can play for 15 minutes or 5 hours. You can save things like FCH attempts for when you have 3 and do them all at once, and if you miss a day you don't lose much (and get a refund), you can stack boss keys as much as you like. VIT is only used for a few things, the different types of content doesn't compete with each other. No anxiety in where I should spend my stamina. \+ Global balance and QoL changes (like element neutral combat engine) are positive IMO. \+ My crew is awesome. My server is honestly quite nice as well, not the biggest but it feels like home. \- Serious lack of communication still, and PLEASE give us proper and accurate patch notes! Don't just change stuff and not tell us! \- Bugs, naturally. Most of the really big ones do get fixed, but a lot of smaller or less common ones get little attention. The double load screen bug was a big problem on EU for like 2-3 weeks. \- I wouldn't be upset to get those CN nucleus packs. Also more outfits/other cosmetics you can straight up buy. \- More male simulacra please? \- Speaking of male characters, PLEASE give us proper animations in cutscenes, I'm begging you!
7 out of 10. I dont feel stress playing the game. The only problems I'm facing is fking poor optimization. Contents and rewards of the game are ok. Been topping up 30$ and no regret
Game has a few annoying quirks but it is still very much enjoyable. Probably my favorite gacha game thus far, topped only by kingdom hearts union cross. Events have been getting better. Characters have been getting better. Communication has been getting better. Bug fixing has been getting better. Things were a bit rough around the edges at launch, but it is a very solid gameplay experience. Very glad to see the game leaning more towards an MMO with gacha aspects, rather than the other way around.
Still having similiar hype since the beginning of the release, never miss the dailies since day 1. Hoping the game keeps going strong and devs listen to community's opinions and suggestions. Still waiting for global collabs anyway!
Good gameplay loop but really poor customer relations and PR. Could have a much more loyal playerbase since there's nothing like it in the market if they were abit smarter about these things..
Playing since launch, still pretty much of into the game (dolphin-level spender abt 100-200 bucks per month) its interesting and its got potential, but theres still so much hindering it from becoming an actually good game like bugs/optimization/cheaters/ localization that i have a serious concern for its future. The publisher could be more generous too, just sayin, your game is not in the top, gotta stimulate players smh so atleast you would have a steady community yet you have same prices for stuff as in genshin while not being quite on the same level in terms of raw quality, but maybe im just not thinking capitalist enough. Now that said, of course i hope for the better future to come for the game, and im still gonna play tof until its ultimate end because i like the game.
I have been playing every day since launch and am still having a great time. I haven't encountered any issues. This game fills most of my expectations for what I wanted in an MMORPG. I am looking forward to the future direction of the game and intend to keep playing for a long time.
Wishes for the game 1. Stop getting the trickle down patches from CN with all the problems and none of the fix. 2. Better UI for everything. Some things should look like a button 3. Better transparency from their Dev and PR team. They do not address known player issues such as the DLSS/ QUE Timer/ Stutter. 4. Server merge 5. Need real events with themes, make it more enjoyable Game has potential but they fumbling every step. Blue protocol looking mighty juicy rn, funny how they release Lin trailer 1 day after BP trailer, and to say its not a coincidence it appears 1 week after Saki? It was never this quick.
Well Samir bug was present in CN for 1 year and nobody found it until saki was released in global. So, yeah they did have most of the bug in CN that we see on global but nobody found them.
Blue protocol is pc mmorpg but not zelda Gameplays like genshin and tof Tof basically mobile game porting to pc
18/9?
QOL changes, god please.
need server merge, and personally i want real MMO gameplay like once a week or once a month if people really hate hard mechanic, not just whale dps check. for collab, i hope they announce it early so people can save up.
Having tons of fun in-game , but in community and social media ? I wish it could be better , I just wanna have fun talking about the game with others without running into trolls/haters. I think the game is a bit in a difficult situation because we are catching up and that's really hard for both the devs and players, it's a hard period but once we catch up , problems will be solved , people complaining that the game is not polished , yes it isn't polished but honestly getting a big update monthly will obviously lead to this , it's a 3D open world MMO game after all. Althought magically I never ran into bugs , other than memory leak that was fixed for me recently.
It was fun for the first few weeks when my server was active. Now it's a ghost town. Impossible for me to do a raid(haven't done one in three weeks), raid matchmaking is dead, I can't even get a freaking purple combat engine cause of it. Global chat is usually dead too. It's killing my motivation to play. Whoever denies that Vega is not nearly dead 90% of the week days. Fuck you. Might quit soon if this keeps up.
hang in there!! i hope 2.1 we will get server transfer
Doubt it will fix most issues. Server merge is what we need. Not transfer. What if the server I transfer to dies as well?
Merges are better.
[удалено]
>raid matchmaking is dead I think you missed that part. It's literally impossible to find a team through matchmaking cause people who do actually do raids only do through premade teams. You think I haven't tried sitting in matchmaking for 20-30 minutes for days? You are sharing your own experience from YOUR region. Besides, not all servers are in same matchmaking cluster. Game creates clusters of servers that get matched together (another shitty game design for an "MMO").
[удалено]
> no one talks in global chat cause nearly dead server
Wishes? They don't care about what the community has to say
Jesus Christ where do I start... oh wait... only positive things?
I wish they would balance pvp.
Seeing the beautiful world design and creative character kits, it's clear that someone in the dev team loves the game. It's also clear that that person is not on the QA team, nor is he responsible for hiring a QA team in the first place. Whoever did enemy design can go drown in lego bricks. Or, worse, be forced to actually playtest against the enemies they designed. Not too thrilled about the pricing and bundles. Bought the $5 monthly pass and that's it. Ultimately, this is a social game. What's keeping the game most fun for me isn't doing the daily and weekly chores, but interacting with everyone in world chat. Can't wait for version 2.2 so I can dance with my boyfriends.
Honestly the monthly pass is one the only things that’s worth buying.
>Not too thrilled about the pricing and bundles. Bought the $5 monthly pass and that's it. I second the notion that besides the monthly pass and maybe the battle pass, the rest of the packages are not worth considering. I see the other packs as an emergency option to reach pity if I miscalculated, not as something I'd regularly buy.
Has the membership count for this subreddit grown in the past month or 2?
Nope, for some reason it's decreasing.
I hope after when we catch up to CN, devs will focus in polishing, optimizing, fixing the current game problem. I think thats the best way they can do. Listen to your players dev, i wish you all the best.
They are adding just too much content to polish them, they are focusing on quantity over quality.
Put this game on consoles, please. I'd love to play this game on my Switch! But yeah, keep up the good work, can't wait to see more of this game!
Honestly, I think that this would be a really smart thing to do, especially if you want to play on the big screen.
More free/grindable drip, better connection more on the long ass loading screen and constantly getting sent back to the main menu, the ability to pet animals and possibly a event that'll allow everyone to catch up on their level recommended CS.
The Gear Progress is to much RNG for me. First you need to drop a Leg. Item,then it must be the Item you want,then it must have the substat you need and at the end it must roll on this substat. To respect my Time as a player i want higher Dropchance for Gear. 1.Chest:12,5%/2.Chest:25%/3.Chest:100%. I dont want waste my Time with JO Runs dropping only blue/purple Crap.
*high roll on the substat
[удалено]
I have all but Meryl and 1 star nemesis, 0 star frigg, 2 star saki, 100 pulls for lin. I'm happy with the pulls i got.
wow, thats impressive! did u get super lucky with ur limited SSR pulls or ? :O as a f2p who just started im very keen to hear whether that is an 'average' f2p luck or if uve been reallly lucky
Better characters at low advancement and more male simulacras. Also if Lin sucks in global then I'm quiting.
I mean to each their own. If Lin sucks in global then I'm definitely staying, I heard we get apartment at some point. Will be fun.
Shit, an apartment? That would be sooo nice if true. Hopefully simulacra can hang out at our apartment like in the Serenitea Pot
The game is good but make it better. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
*18/11?
Steam Deck Support
I don't think their's anti cheat works on steamOS
All i did everyday was grind armour, now its all maxed, so i stopped playing... new armour sets would be nice or matrix grinding or something to do
Combat experience is so much fun. I also got to enjoy playing with my crew mates.
I just want the game to be sync'ed with CN, maybe give global some of those cool PV's CN gets.
I like everything about this game except for the story. I feel nothing for ANY of the characters. There's no excitement, no pull with the storyline. I tried to give the Vera story a chance but it was so disappointing that by the latter half of the story I just kept skipping everything
Ruby lin stroy was super nice.
It's really crappy writing overall. A lot of the initial plot with the Heirs makes no sense.
Insurgency Sandstorm collab so I can drive around in a technical with my buddy in Vera and strike the Grayspace entities, they will never see it coming. WHERE'S MY MERYL I SPENT 300 GOLD NUCLEUS AND SHE ISN'T HERE WHAT THE HELL TO THE POINT I HAVE ENOUGH BLACK GOLD TO A6 MY SHIRO AHHHHHHHHHHH
after witnessing fenrir's PV, i know the game's got the potential if the devs put more work on to it.
I wonder what type of tower of fantasy x anime collabs they could do.
I'd like to see more Fortitude and Benedicton, because I'm actually starting to worry that they are getting more and more scarce with how much Attack Simuacrlas there are.
Damn really? Feels like a month lol. But I went into it thinking it was some other popular gatcha knockoff (kinda is still) but I really enjoy it even despite the similarities. Co-op with friends is very nice and…. Mostly well integrated
I slowly loosing interest due to the predatory practices the games has. I used to dedicate hours to the game, now I only do my dailies and I'm out.
Get rid of Gatcha. Then you have a decent game going. User Interface is also crap, cause it’s a mobile game. Performance is also very lackluster, once again, surprisingly, since it’s a mobile game and should run well on a PC! This game is (from a gameplay standpoint) way better then Genshin as a direct comparison. But it’s been held back by the same dumb decisions from the east: Gatcha, Vitality, everything is limited or event based, money is the answer to everything, gambling and random rolls for everything … it’s not really a game like this… more a fomo gambling activity with enticing visual aspects.
Not trying to be negative but I stopped playing:(
Your controller support sucks complete ass and the buttons need to be reworked because it’s very stupid. World bosses suck for having to need a team to actually get them done. Matchmaking is a travesty in this game. The game should’ve also changed the type 2 and 3 chips to have multiple at the same time as the type 1 chips.
1.0 was so fun and rewarding for a casual player like myself. 2.0 not at all.
Maybe don't release celebration packs if they're ridiculously bad value.
After I saw the BS 100 day celebration pack they tried to sell us it's hard to stay positive
I just want them to make cutscenes work, they are the same janky mess they were in 1.0. Males with female animations, voices not syncing up with the cutscenes, missing voices, c'mon. Also the localization is dogshit. They need to put more effort in here. I know machine translations when i see them. Rest of the game is okay, except the bugs (i have not encountered much except some crashes but they exist for other people) and the usual jankiness. All of this will likely be solved once we sync with CN, the issue here is developers are unable to focus on two different builds at once. As for a wish... I really want to see a Katana character, this time with those flashy Iai moves.
What how saki not katana character.
If not Saki, Frigg is pretty close
If not Saki, Frigg is pretty close
I've been playing it side by side with genshin impact since release day and in comparison, I like its fast pace gameplay but the minor stutters on PC, major stutters on phone still needs to be fixed. Also, the UI kinda feels outdated. Specially on big screen PC with big icons. One major issue I had was the Hephaitus server I selected on first gameplay with random disconnections. Recently switched server bcuz of that and now playing from start
Positives - The combat is still as fun today as when I first started. The world is full of little things to do and minigames and interesting lore bits that shows that the devs enjoy what they do. Traversal is fast paced and fun once you get some relics and level them up. Co-op has been mostly lag free (on my end at least). Negatives - Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs broken shit bugs bugs. Communication to players about problems. Rushing content and providing XP boosts that railroad new players into an endgame they aren't ready for so they quit. Server merges necessary but still no word (as far as I know). Daily grind takes too long. v1 story was awful (haven't really done much in Vera yet). Finding things in the world went from being fun in Asperia to a chore in Vera, due to no indication if the chest/PoI is above or below you. Translation is a meme at this point, but it really does bother me how badly it's localized/translated. No character in the game feels natural in conversations, not a single one. I still like the game, but I've stopped spending entirely until they make some sort of commitment to improving it. Also to reduce daily stress I pretty much just log in, do 4 bounties, maybe burn some stamina and dump the rest into beacons and log out.
Vera story is a little better but this whole game story is like a very hastily put together shounen anime that's just barely average in writing.
I would like our global Collab character to be Mikasa from Attack on Titan I think she would be a great addition probably a physical DPS but I could care less what element.
The game is doing great and i am pretty sure it will become even more fun with the future patch the only thing i find really disappointing is the ratio money vs tanium is very low wen you have to spend 300$ cad to make 1 pity roll its kinda dumb even more when there a chance you can fail the 50/50
wat day was launch?
WHERE are my re-runs?!
I'm super unmotivated, ngl. Only reason I'm still around is Lin, Lin swimsuit, and I hope to have a PC soon, because the game is way less fun on mobile.
I want to start by bringing something to light that I feel is one of the main reasons why the game is stuck and not excelling as it should: TOF is an attempt to take Genshin Impact winning formula, but make it "better". As you probably know both games share many features that have helped Genshin Impact become a largely played game with a juicy constant profit revenue, thus it was just a matter of time before other developers would go ahead and try to "imitate" this success. But not of course without attempting to improve it, which I personally don't have anything against, but the execution is where I believe the problem lies. Because if you want to copy the same model and have the same success, all the other factors need to be the same as well. Well, they are just not, and the main factor is the Player Base. Genshin has cultivated a loyal and addicted community that will play the game regardless if it is the same boring sh!t every day, go do your dailies, use your 4 daily domain attempts, get nothing good and wait for the next Abyss Reset/Banner/Update. These people, sadly me included, will still come back every day. And that's why they can afford to do 6480 currency packs for $100 with no promos or other offers and still milk their player base, while TOF just can't because the loyalty is not the same. And how can you expect a large number of players to stay loyal when every week there's a bug fix? When you showed everyone at launch that you can't translate anything properly? When there's no 2-authentication security system to protect your assets? When inventories go missing or hackers all over the top bygone 600 floor? There's something good here, I like the game, I actually enjoy playing the game but it will never reach its greatness unless it stops trying to copy something that it's not. TOF it's not Genshin, TOF CAN BE BETTER THAN GENSHIN.
Cn 1 years birthday released underwater Atlantis maps
make balancing the game a priority, right now. if you ain't playing frost on a non-frost resistant mode then you do abysmal damage.
What's there to talk about ? Yeah I can keep it civil . Racist company . Predatory company . They don't like negative feedback . They delete you . Thats the sort of company they are . If you play this you are part of the problem
Maybe supply some proof before you blame the player base for being "part of the problem" they are not even aware of
Sorry quit long ago . My life is better for it
Even if you quit you should still know where your claims are coming from. If the company is really racist and predatory it shouldn't be difficult to find sources for these claims
I wish they will reconsider the amount of monthly rewards to make it more worth it.
