Let's see what will happen to the game now, and how Tencent will try to get more money from their player base.

No wonder the game has felt like they're staring at EOS lately. The desperation is palpable

It was a GAMBA WuWa was willing to take. You miss 100% of the gambles you don't take.

for all the fear mongering about tencent can anyone actually name a game that got fucked up specifically because they got bought by them?
please I'm genuinely asking for a single game that wasn't already hollowed out by either it's shithead coked up execs or its retarded devs, a game that would have (not could have) been great if only it wasn't bought out by tencent specifically
>>
>>732705569
Yeah you should. Gachas are literally the only good thing about modern gayming. Just be sure to cultivate healthy playing habits

Gatchas are good quality but they have 2 major downside.
1. Gatcha systems which should be illegal imo.
2. If you aren't day one players, you already start so far behind that I feel like it's not worth it. Unless you don't care about past characters.

>>
>>732706727
If you're playing gachas to collect every character ever, you're playing them wrong and you'll be a paypig even if you start day 1.
Just relax, play with whatever party you have and ignore the endgame where you need to be either a whale or a slave doing dailies since launch to participate. Remember, every character you roll on you then need to level up via daily grind. So you don't really want to get them all, if you do, a hellish grind awaits you to level them all up. Just get the ones you really like

It is a very real issue.

>>732705569
Not exactly. Gacha games are only good if you explicitly pick it up on or near launch. Picking up a gacha game 1-3 years down the line will give you the feeling of being a secondary in a game you might end up playing every single day. Gacha games are designed to be daily treadmills with a soft limit on how far you are allowed to run per day. You might be able to enjoy a game like this a lot, but if you missed out on the first year of Wuthering Waves or shit like Hoyoslop, you are only going to feel out of place by picking it up late.

Anyone who picks a gacha game up late is signing up for the worst of the gacha experience with little of the actual benefits.

I don't know how people still fall for this. You're taking an typical AAA open-world game with added micro transactions and timegating throughout, applying an anime aesthetic and then stretching it out for hundreds of hours over years. I get bored of these games after the first area or two, you'll always be doing the same stuff, just with different characters. And even as a "low spender", you'll wind up spending the equivalent of multiple full priced games spread out of years.

I slightly disagree.
I played wuwa at launch but dropped it becasue I didn't like the end game.
I missed three character, for a long time I was frustrated about that.
Thinking if only i kept playing i could have him to do the end game I hated.
Then I realized two things.
>he's male
>why do I care about minmaxing an end game i don't like
I've dropped wuwa again and probably pick it up again and some point but what im trying to say is, only feel bad if you miss a character you like.

Yes. Probably the most I've enjoyed a gacha patch in years. I cannot even recall any current game recently that left me as emotionally drained as 3.1 did by the end.
Kuro also acknowledged one of the biggest flaws of gacha story telling by letting the player essentially have to deal with the feeling of failure instead of rushing to resolve it in a single patch.

This entire shit awith Methy-chan is just pure tear jerk bait with no prelude. I'm not gonna feel and cry just because you tell me to.
I excused your power of friendship moment in rinacita because it was cool and every character had their moment AFTER the fact. But Methy is just feelsbait for the sake of it and you cant refute that. It just feels extremely cheap to me.

Now Jhinny was deserved tears and feeling because we meet her early, we meet what she cares for, we meet the people who care for her.
Lupa, I care for her because we have a buildup. We meet her, we see how she connects before the big moment of payoff.
But if you suddenly tell me "oh this is your daughter btw" and expect me to care for her just because its revelant to current patch only to become irrelevant in the next version, i am not going to. That's just clownery. So you put that character story into its own quest if its only to be used as feelslop that has no weight on the overall journey, which you can count me on methy will remain absent after this, proving just how vital she was for nothing at all, just used like a cheap cumrag. Thats my biggest issue. Using this in a throwaway manner like this cheapens it immensly. And if you give me cheap shit, I dont care, because you, the storyteller, clearly dont care about it in the bigger picture and its only there to make you feel in current patch.

>jinshi apologist
>lupa (LMAOOOOOOOOOO)
Jinshi says 3 lines in 1.0 then her patch arrives in 1.1 with her sad self-sacrifice story and after that she disappears, and she's never mentioned again not even once. Lupa is even worse in this case because she literally jumps into your view out of nowhere, asks you to join her for the tourney and disappears after 2 hours only to come back as a background of background characters at the end of the region story.

Now how is it any different from what you're complaining about even if we ignore the fact that you're getting mad at things that you just imagined what could happen in the future and didn't happen yet?
I might as well say Chisa is the best character in the game because there's a chance entirety of her plot was a lite version of voidspace that happened in 3.1 and might become main plot in 3.3.

Jhinny literally got mentioned recently in current patch.
But disregard that, both of these characters are not thrust upon you that YOU MUST NOW CARE BECAUSE WE SAY SO.
Methy is literally such a low hanging fruit of "YOU MUST CARE NOW BECAUSE WE SAY SO" and it does not equal the amount of irrelevancy she will get compared to her supposed weight and improtance for rover. Do you still not understand the problem with this fuckass storytelling?

How is this any different to Shorekeepr, Camellya, Phrolowa and Mornye?
Coincidentally they all also dropped in with the "I'm your old love, friend, partner, family, confidant and whatever do you remember me?" out of nowhere before you had to start caring enough to save them from being sucked into a sonoro black hole or some shit.

Gachas are terrible games, solely for the reason that theyŕe designed to be played on a phone, so the controls are extremely dumbed down and because they use every single tactic possible to make you spend money, basically playing for free is a miserable experience, because SS+ characters will always be extremely better than what you get for free.

none of these has even close a similar weight and importance than a daughter.
Our connection to the black shores has been a thematic since Aalto appeared.
Phimosis and Camellya have also been part of the story since the start and have waited their turn to pay off.
Mornye is literally just a fangirl.
None of these relationships have weight close to a daughter and their introduction was far in advance before their payoff.
We see Methy ONCE at the start of 3.0. You wouldve had a point if she appeared a few more times but she didnt. She appeared again for her patch now and is gonna vanish into irrelevance, despite her supposed improtance.
Not only that but a few heavy hitting topics come out of nowhere
1. Oh im your daughter btw xD
2. oh and im dead btw xD
3. oh and im actually going to create a time paradox that saves your life and makes me super dead btw xD
3.1. but im also kind of a mary sue who is super talented and got to be the resonator all thanks to you, my inspiration parent xD
4. jk you get an empty husk clone of me xD
5. NOW BE SAD OR ELSE!!!!
all of these happened fast, without buildup and without relevance.
You dont even have time to think about one of these things, let alone all of these.

Beside I don't think previous few patches were bad. You just don't know yet how good they are cus we lack context.

I totally forgot about this. So that was Amy?
>>
>>732725447
They could've put this line elsewhere and 3.1 would still work. Doesn't excuse all the shitty patches we've had so far.

Don't get me wrong, both things can be true at the same time, 3.1 is good and still be emotionally manipulative so you roll the gacha. It's the "sentinel resonator" patch after all. However, I'm not going to sit through the next few patches which are probably going to be shitty.

The thing is Lahai-Roi is supposed to be concluding in 3.3 since the Edgerunners collab is slated for 3.4.
I imagine 3.2 will be the setup for how to save Amy and then 3.3 will be the execution.
Not really much time to fuck it up.

Lahai-Roi is the region like Huanglong and Rinascita. The New Federation is an area of Lahai-Roi like Jinzhou, Ragunna, Septimont. No, Lahai-Roi's will continue throughout the year.
>>
>>732726406
And why Edgerunners collab in 3.4 means that whole Lahai-Roi is supposed to be concluding in 3.3?
I doubt it will be different than 2.0 patches
We will has conclusion in 3.7 and i doubt we will save Amy before 3.7.

From the animation when the tear hit rover face I predict that we will have patch when rover will be close to saving Amy (looking at her in that scene) but won't be able save her cus he was too late.

You can tell its the same team that did 2.5. Sound direction was better in 2.5. I also liked how low stakes and close and personal 2.5 was, specially during the ending. Most of the work was done by the character expressions and cinematography.
3.1 was too "action movie" in its approach, and the pacing was a little weird, like every 3 minutes of story we had a flashback that lasted 10 minutes. Yeah we get its sad the girl sacrificed herself, do we REALLY need ANOTHER 5 minutes of flashbacks afterwards? We don't need that many reminders of how sad it is.
Like, silent hill 2 had like 2 scenes between james and mary, you don't need that much shit to try to guilt trip the player.

Kuro's plan is one big patch every 6 months. That's why Septimont was big because and was released on 2.4 (that's mid-patch cycle). The New Federation will be 3.X's 2nd big patch and the main selling point will likely be 2 original characters, Lucy and Rebecca. Lahai-Roi will continue throughout the year and the rumored Chink area will likely be at 3.8, like 2.8's Honami.

>>732726646
Because people wouldn't really enjoy the collab if it was delaying the main story plus 3.5 is apparently returning to Huanglong with a new region.
People will still really care if it's a patch or 2 away which is 2-3 months. People will care far less if Kuro stretches this out to late 2026.
>>
>>732726646
Because we already know that in 3.5 we go to mengzhou, the capital of the not-china country. Jinnyzhou was just one of 7 cities, the most back-country one. Lahai-roi is filler in that sense, just a way to present rover past. Chisa, mornye, luuk, lynae, lucylla, etc. are all going to be forgotten after 3.3 ends, MAYBE we'll see aemeath afterwards, maybe not. Like, cartethyia stayed in ragunna and there ended her relevancy, we gave a black rose to chisa and galbrena, and they also fucked off and didn't stay in the black shores.
>>
>>732727303
Carty can leave Rinascita. She visited the Black Shores once. Jinhsi is the one bound to Jinzhou because she's holding back the time dilation shit.
>>
>>732727142
You CLEARLY haven't played mihoyo games then. Like, the new genshin region introduced a new type of elemental reaction, but ONLY if you have characters of the new region in your team. This patch also introduced character locked quests, you can't play them if you don't own that character. Lets not speak of global passives of HSR.
Thankfully kuro got the memo and they haven't released more characters that are THAT needy like zani, even teams with requirements (like lupa needed 3 fusion characters to activate her passive, cartethyia needing aero erosion stacks, etc) can use cope alternatives and only loose like 10% efficiency or less. But zani was a monstrosity, you loose like 50% of team wide DPS if you don't run phoebe with her.

It's kind far fached to be honest. How can you beat therodian that destroy cosmic civilisation in just 2 patches? Meanwhile whole 2.0 was about therodian that can destroy continet.
>>
>>732727394
Oh right, the convenient macguffin to justify bad writing. The authors can state whatever reason to justify their shit, I always laugh when chisa says she won't be going to the black shores because she wants to finish school and find her mother. And then next patch...(optional)
>>
>>732727582
Yeah, they fucked up with parent stuff. It should be at least a quest! Though they went into direction that rover came few weeks after her so kind wouldn't make sense to wait for Rover to find parents.
They could handle it better though.
>>
>>732727563
>How can you beat therodian that destroy cosmic civilisation in just 2 patches?
Does it matter? Kuro will invent some reason to finish their story, my best guess is that they are going to isolate it from solaris3. Like the friendship ray that killed the last one, it was never stated that such a thing could be done, and it was never brought up again after. How did a dozen people coordinate to do it? Doesn't matter, hey heres a new badly choreographed fight to distract you. This is why stories like 2.5 are better, no need to introduce cosmic shit and fake stakes, since we know that everything going to turn up fine at the end for the heroes.
Personal and emotional stakes make much more sense than world destruction, yeah we know the world isn't going to end since they can't sell more characters if that happens.
>>
>>732727563
It doesn't have to beaten quite yet in the story. Rover just has to go in, rescue Amy and then get out while sealing the gate behind them.
Aleph-1 is something that will have to be dealt with eventually if Solaris-3 ever wants a path back to the stars but even that could be a future plot line.

That goes for literally every character. Why do I care, as a player, to pay attention to this or that story, of solving the traumas of this chuckle fuck, when in 5 minutes they are going to be as relevant as that NPC over there. Like, they teased all this shit about cartethyia wanting to be a wandering knight and saving us at some point, and all of that lead to...nothing.
Hey mornye knew us in the past, maybe she can tells us some shit! Nah, she doesn't want to tell us. No particular reason, she just doesn't feel like it.
Remember all that plot about the troupe of fools, wanting to let the people be free of old traditions? And all that shit about phoebe and the church? Well I don't and neither do the writers apparently, because that was never resolved. The less is said about the other filler characters like zani, ciaccona, rococo, etc. the better. I specially like how cantarella, in her own patch, had all of her actions off-screened and she lore-dumped to cartethyia all the important shit literally 3 minutes before the story ended, good pacing guys.

Go to the WuWa general and look at how insane some of the people there are.

Think Male Rover looks stupid? You must like Aether from Genshin Impact even if you think he looks stupid too.
Think Female Rover is better? You must have an axe wound to play a female even though 95% of the roster is female and we use them regularly.
Think they could have done something better? Why hasn't Mihoyo done something better?
You like both Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves and think both of them have their fair share of issues? You're a Mihoyo shitter.
Think some of the story wasn't that great and they're focusing too much on one aspect of it to the detriment of others? Fuck you, why aren't you self-inserting?
Think some moment in the story wasn't kino? Genshin is never kino.

It's like this in every thread. People constantly chasing ghosts and you have to walk on eggshells to talk about the game at all.

Gachas are typically just for the casino aspect. There's nothing compelling about any of them. I've played not too many Gacha, but enough to know the limiting factor of those games is often just games as a service and the RNG aspect of rolling (primarily a lot of their upgrade systems tend to be RNG as well which really hurts).

When you consider your favorite AAA slop from decades ago you got a complete experience that maybe had an expansion pack that couldn't be turned into a fully fledged title. The poison of Gacha is taking that full package and putting it in pieces under the guise they'll continuously update it for years to come. However, where expansions and DLC weren't the primary driver for bonus content, gacha make it entirely based on waiting months for new content updates so you can finally get the full story. The issue is the amount of time these stories stretch on for always causes a massive dip in consistent quality. Stories get filled with massive amounts of needless filler just for the sake of pushing content and new FOMO characters out. You're constantly under the MMO grind without there being a real "massive" multiplayer component to justify all that work. Everything is designed in such a way that you'll only have fun spending money, because waiting months to get a new character's worth of currency feels like shit. A normal RPG lets you grind/obtain everything for free and do all sorts of testing and exploring. Here you're limited by RNG spanning months to years unless you use the credit card cheat code, unless the game is considered "fair" then you don't have to continually scale power.

The main counter argument of that is that it's free, but the time investment is anything but that, and with how many gacha I've played that consistently massively dip in both gameplay and story quality, even free doesn't justify the price. Just find some indie games to pirate and then buy them if you like them.

1.0 is pretty much the worst part of the game because the game launched in damage control between firing their original writer and then firing the guy that they had hired to replace the original writer. You pretty much suffer through the walls of text for 1.0 and then the story quickly starts improving near the end of 1.0 and only gets better from there.

I don't know, man. I honestly don't. A week ago I would've said no, then I played wuwa's 3.1 patch and I'm not so sure. It's the curse of a live service game, where one patch it could by flying high and then crater with the very next one. Maybe you'll be aight if you don't put any money into it, but even then you'll still have your time and emotional investment.

As a retired hardcore gachafag, I noticed most of these games are gay coded in the sense that even if you're given the choice of playing as the Male MC, the devs and fandom will treat the female versions of the MC as the real canon protagonist in their stories. And this applies to:

And sometimes, they can be gender-neutral. It doesn't help that 90% of gacha rosters are females by a large margin, opening ways for yuritards to chime in and make divisions in the community. Makes me wonder if chinks are secretly closeted agp troons in disguised since they are quite adverse to het male supremacy. Though, the real challenge for me not playing their games is the way they handle the storylines. Too much handholding and info dumps with infinite wall of flowery text, that can be condensed and structured a lot better. While the MC may have illusions of choice, in reality they don't have much agency in the plot, just a mere observer. If the MC were removed, it won't affect the story in the slightest (the only exception to this is azur lane at the height of its golden age). And that grinds me. Koreans might be a bit better in this regard since their gacha games have sovl. Especially Nikke, you will be hard-pressed to find better stories with legitimately kino OST by prolific composers and gorgeous character designs than shift-up's Nikke. That being said, the gacha scene over there is kinda bleeding dry, straight up as the years went by.

Genshin does not treat Lumine as canon at all. The anime even has Aether as the main MC.
WuWa considers both MCs canon and does not distinguish who actually is. The most it has is many main story characters hitting on Rover, male and female, so you never have any idea who is canon. Male Rover does have less effort put into his design and animations unlike Female Rover, and early on Female Rover was more of the poster child for the game, but they've evened out over the patches. It doesn't matter if you're Male or Female Rover, you're getting Jiyan's seeds, it doesn't matter if you're Male or Female Rover, Lynae is going to snuggle up to you with them even patching it to fix that on Female Rover, and it doesn't matter if you're Male or Female Rover, all the women and men will blush when they speak to you.

>>732741970
Which male characters blush when talking to Rover? I've played through most of the game so far and it's always shied away from having the male characters get too cosy. Most of the male character interactions can be read as just being generally friendly, it's only the female characters who are getting all up close and personal all the time.

>>732705569
whatever you do dont ever touch the botw clone type of gacha
>>
>>732742190
Luuk, Lingyang, and Jiyan all get close to Rover in ways most people would consider in a romantic way regardless if you're a man or woman. I believe Lingyang was the only one who blushed while Jiyan spoke to you like you're more than just a friend to him while giving you his seeds and Luuk in the latest one is constantly touching you and speaks to you like he likes the new you not just in a platonic way. Lingyang in general is very clingy to you as a person.

Mortefi, Calcharo, Yuanwu are the only ones who act normal, though you barely know Yuanwu and Calcharo has only been around two times to tell you how cool you are.

Either /v/'s take on gachas is frozen in time or I'm an outlier, because the "gambling slot machine" aspect of gachas wore off on me in about 2 months. It was never the reason I played, and I immediately stopped being excited to roll and just saw max pity as the price of the character and either saved freebies or purchased when steep annual discounts came around.

The only thing that keeps my playing gacha is consistent content, ever expanding story/world/cast, continual QoL enhancements and love for the setting. Even then I've reduced it down to only playing one and won't pick up another unless there's a huge one that shakes up the industry.

> genshin region introduced a new type of elemental reaction, but ONLY if you have characters of the new region in your team.
The new elemental reactions are just variants of existing reactions and are just the regions character gimmick. I've skipped all of these characters because its kind of boring. Natlan's mobility gimmicks were a thousand times more fun and still unnecessary and they peaked with it.
>This patch also introduced character locked quests, you can't play them if you don't own that character.
You say this like their character story quests. We're talking 2 minute interactions that are just a neat bonus for having the character lmao. The 1-2 hour fully voiced character quests are still free as always.

You're not lying but you're framing experimental gimmicks that are already forgotten, if not ignored from the beginning, as substantial content. Columbia lets ALL characters do Lunar reactions and its still too boring for me to roll for.

What you need to understand about gacha stories is that gacha players have extremely low standards for what they consider good. If you see a gacha player praising their story for being good, expect it to be mediocre, it's only "good" relative to other mobile games. Happens every time

This is probably the most annoying aspect about her from my experience. She's pretty decent against regular enemies she can group up, but bosses constantly jump around and I feel like she spends half her field time just jogging around trying to catch up with them, since her attack range isn't super impressive and she's pretty immobile when attacking. Ideally I want to trigger her outro as fast as possible, but she annoyingly takes the longest compared to the other characters on the team.

Verina and Shorekeeper I'm pretty sure you can guarantee as a new player, although it'll still take time rolling for them. Iuno you have to wait for her featured banner, and unfortunately for you her rerun banner was the previous one so she's probably not coming back soon.

Verina is part of the standard resonator convene and you can get her whenever. I think leaks said Shorekeeper gets a rerun soon-ish.

TLDR: Wuthering Waves is officially classified as an "Evergreen" game title by Tencent. This requires at least 550+ millions USD (4 billions RMB) in yearly revenue and Daily Active Users above 5 million players for mobile or 2 million for PC.

Wuwa was also cited as a major contributor for Tencent’s international growth.

Translated article from Gemini:
Regarding the gaming business, Ma Huateng gave a glowing evaluation, similar to last year, describing the gaming division as "frighteningly strong."

Liu Zhiping provided a more detailed analysis of the gaming business’s development over the past year. While the global gaming market grew by only 3%, Tencent Games grew by 23%, outperforming the market by more than 20 percentage points. This success is largely attributed to several "evergreen" titles, including:

Honor of Kings

Peacekeeper Elite

Delta Force

Naruto

League of Legends

CrossFire Mobile

Wuthering Waves

VALORANT

All of these titles saw significant growth in both active user numbers and revenue performance last year.

Ma Huateng also mentioned that the international market contributed 30% of the gaming division’s total revenue, exceeding $10 billion USD for the full year. Key drivers for overseas expansion included:

A surge in Daily Active Users for Supercell titles.

Major contributions from products like Path of Exile 2, Wuthering Waves, Warframe, PUBG Mobile, and COD Mobile).

I love how hoyonDrones instead putting hate and criticism for Hoyo to improve Genshin Impact.

Instead they spread fake news that WuWa is bad.
What kind of thinking is that? Making other game looks bad or hell let's say they would even success and WuWa quality would drop. So what? Genshin wouldn't improve cus WuWa would get bad. That's special case of Mental illness.
