Why did endfield have to fuck up so badly? It could've gotten big with its already big fanbase from the previous game
>Gacha is greedy and has too many pitfalls just to fuck over the player
>Other fomo like arsenal tickets being attached to it, expiring tickets
>We're ironically reaching 60-70 rtolls a patch which isn't even enough to pop one 6*, not enough income despite the formally mentioned issues with the gacha
>No perm endgame combat content for people to run around while in and epeen flex their teams/whale investments
>Factory is hardly a part of the game despite being a "selling" point.
>Even if you minmax it you're bottlenecked by outposts so there's no benefit to optimizing the factory
>QoL for random shit instead of useful QoL like dark theme UI, better gear/artificing navigation, use for the growth chamber/rare growths ect
>Dailies take too long if you do the "intended stuff", outposts can't auto sell items, friend assists aren't auto for whatever reason
>Zipline navigation isn't automatic if you connect them all up so it feels like a worse teleport system
>Nothing to do in overworld anyway besides essences
>Depot/photos/swordmance/stocks, valley4/wuling bucks are pointless and need something to spend them on

Say it ain't so
>>
>>741392047
Don't forget sending story to probably most boring iteration of China that has been in gacha.
Genshin? We get caught up in plot about god being murdered, and are primary suspect, having to escape from authorities.
Star Rail? The space fleet is under attack by immortal monsters, and with different factions constantly backstabbing each other, even good guys are vary of protag suddenly offering to help.
ZZZ? ...Okay, going to temple to train your kung fu sounded fine, but turned lame since we were total prodigy.
In Endfield it's just endless fellating to protag. "Wow, you are so cool! Remember how you designed this thing? No? Oh well, you are still cool!"

>>741392047
Its gacha was alright (at least for me), the main issue is there's nothing to do. They went with too high of production values, where gachas like genshin typically opt for simpler presentation to make pumping out content faster. Also the late-beta gameplay switch into dodgeslop didn't help.

Limbus was gacha that was sequel to a real game. What Anon is worried about is gachas that are sequel to gachas.
Honestly, not that unfounded of a worry. We always focus on few games that actually ended up lasting, but there's countless ones that die in less than a year. It'd be nice to believe that team who made one hit could create another, but it's much more likely that the successful games are happy accidents.

>>
>>741392047
I don't even think the gacha is part of why I think Endfield was bad, its just that its fucking boring and lackluster as brutal as it sounds. The combat is probably the worst one out of all the modern AAA gachas I've played even if I like it, I just couldn't see myself interacting with it much and having fun, the factory shit is boring, I can buy games that do it better, the characters you pulled and worked hard to build do not fucking matter in the slightest on that part of the game, there are no animations or anything for them there. The game from what I've heard since I last quit has had barely any content added to it which means they launched at quite a bad time, they didn't have a proper roadmap planned and/or the game's entire idea was poorly thought out to begin with. I don't like shitting on new gacha releases since retarded tribalistic cocksuckers usually do it to every fucking gacha that comes out ever but this one really struck a cord since I can see that it could have been a beautiful game had they actually thought things through properly, they had money from AK and are still getting money from that game to this day, yet this is the best they can come up with? its dissapointing
>>
>>741397238
It was doomed from the start because the guerrilla shilling HG and yostar did involved shitting on OG AK and pretending the game was going to EOS in favor of endfield and everyone should move over ASAP, this made pretty much the entire fucking playerbase boycott endfield.

How? I started Mi Fu's patch after being left at 0 and have saved 12,400 beryls since then, all content cleared, with one week left of the banner. That's 25 pulls, though I missed some days. You get like 30-40 rolls per patch if you diligently run the chores every single day. And need 120. At this rate, I can afford to roll again sometime in August lmao

How do you know if someone plays GFL2?
They'll tell you; you don't need to do anything.

>>741392047
Putting all that aside, what really put me off was the story. The first one had an incredible story, well written, told from the perspective of different characters.
There was the story of the Abyssal Hunters and their downfall; the story of Siege, heir to the throne of Victoria, and how she strives to keep the country united while the dukes look out only for their own cities; the story of the Dublin sisters and their quest to make Tara independent from Victoria, etc.
Well, none of that is in the sequel, nothing. There are just bad guys, good guys and the good guys are just a bunch of bootlicker yesmen who aren't capable of building a bridge even if their lives depended on it; they lost to a Roman from before the Republic despite having science fiction level technology.

Endfield is just a mess of systems and upkeep.

If the core game was Xenoblade/FFXIV-lite combat and the AIC actively played into exploration, like a Minecraft with Death Stranding elements, it would easily be the best game on the market, even with the subpar story.

The problem is that making a post-Genshin gacha game comes with a mental checklist, so we need gatherings, upgrading, grinding, action combat, recycling, management, gardening, affectioning, and so on.

The game is trying to be a AAA game with the design principles of a Japanese auteur game, but it’s also adhering to gacha conventions to maximise the world and play time.

I stopped playing because of the factory shit. The devs said that the blueprint system was for people that didn't wanted to interact with the factory but that was NOT the case.

System blueprints were useless, they didn't created production lines, just a fucking single machine and there wasn't even a system blueprint for every product.

Shared blueprints had limitations that required the player to do some work instead of just being able to copy and paste them.

Not going to debate if the factory is good or bad for the game, but the devs saying that would be possible to not interact with it much was bullshit

This post is completely wrong, the devs were right, if you dislike factorio, then you can basically grab a factory blueprint and have literally everything done for you

if you engage with the system then you can have quite a few hours of fun with it. It's not factorio of course, but it's somewhat close to it that you can optimize your production lines and have a bit of fun

the problem of the game is the dreadful story and lack of content.

>>
>>741392047
thing about gacha is that it prioritises the dev/publisher making money over the player having fun. yeah, some elements might look appealing, but ultimately the gameplay will be shallow with the same progression design as all other gacha. it's sad because there's a lot of quality elements in some gacha games, such as the animations from ZZZ. but gacha "games" aren't really games at all, it's just a tool to generate money, sort of like how a kinder egg isn't really food.
>>
>>741416371
People are not going to pick the game up because it has too many issues, and many of them are with the gacha. Also, the longer they take to change the gacha (they won't), the more they will piss off the people who remained.

Part of Arknight's success was having easy to produce characters where they could throw stuff at the wall and see what works. Swapping to 3d makes each character costs substantially more and if a character flops, they blow tens of thousands of dollars versus a grand or two.
