Honest question.I really like Mina.How foolish would be to roll for her instead of the shuppos?But selector!>I already have gonna use it on Adult Shun

>>539219870Hablando de mujeres y traicionesSe fueron consumiendo las botellasPidieron que cantara mis cancionesY yo canté unas dos en contra de ellasDe pronto que se acerca un caballeroSu pelo ya pintaba algunas canasMe dijo: "Le suplico, compañeroQue no hable en mi presencia de las damas"Le dije que nosotros simplementeHablamos de lo mal que nos pagaronQue si alguien opinaba diferenteSería porque jamás lo traicionaronQue si alguien opinaba diferenteSería porque jamás lo traicionaronMe dijo: "Yo onions uno de los seresQue más ha soportado los fracasosY siempre me dejaron las mujeresLlorando y con el alma hecha pedazosMas nunca les reprocho mis heridasSe tiene que sufrir cuando se amaLas horas más hermosas de mi vidaLas he pasado al lado de una damaPudiéramos morir en las cantinasY nunca lograríamos olvidarlasMujeres, oh, mujeres, tan divinasNo queda otro camino que adorarlasMujeres, oh, mujeres, tan divinasNo queda otro camino que adorarlas"

Im still not over this part. Imagine getting a mindcontrolling virus that forces you to kill innocent people with you conscious of it. A wonder she hasnt broken completly
>>539241098see you in the rerun, or the next raffle event with an innuendo
>>539241507I don’t approve of any path that doesn’t lead her to my bedroom
>another day of 0 elephs from lessonsMaybe I just suck as a Sensei...
>>539241704She's RIGHT THERE ANON
>>539241650It's ok, everyone but the Abydos students doesn't count as people, she didn't feel a thing.
>>539241136>>539241338KWAB
>>539241739Well you suck at understanding probability, that much is sure, if you spend your tickets trying to get a measly eleph
>>539241869Why don't you show me your purples then
>>539241808fck you
>>539241650I don't think she was mindcontrolled, but the Terror manipulates your despair and negative feelings. She saw life as a curse at that point, she saw no point to keep living but she couldn't die, eventually in her mind it warped so much that she thought it would be better if no one was alive. We see she's still very much in control, after she stopped shooting sensei after the first few shots, but she just had nothing in her soul that wanted to keep living anymore, she became an avatar of death. She reverted to her true role as Anubis, although the Nameless Priests took over that role, having her target the other students on a genocide. She knew what she was doing but she just saw living as a curse by that point.
>>539241739Meanwhile, I've got 4 shards of my wife from yesterday's lessons. I'm just that good.

Does this game have one of those PvP systems where it's always rigged to make you lose no matter what to force you to spend money on it? I swear I'm copying comps to the dot at this stage but my fucking FAT FUCK Hanako is never hitting shit.

>>539244050Lessons info
>>539243773so there's like no reason to ever pick anything below lvl 10
>>539243834We won't even hit their concurrent players number.
>>539244131Noa wouldn't
I guess the Aru doujinshi series is overAt least the story stayed strong all the way through, stayed erotic, overall a good story https://exhentai.org/g/3538101/31f0e6ba16/For the other chapters (not in order)https://exhentai.org/g/2788368/6e3b30f04d/https://exhentai.org/g/2751838/6270c1f52e/https://exhentai.org/g/3142620/fd2af41d7f/

To be completely honest I would have sex with Noa
>>539243164This is why I prefer Noa, she doesn't bully me and always lets me cum inside.

2* students have rate ups? When can I get 20 elephs for a dupe?
>>539243834>steam version is banned in multiple regions like germany, denmark (i think) and especially japan>nexon is too lazy to just create a standalone versionno and never, since a big chunk is stuck on mobile
>>539244238Nice
Damn, Gehenna D is fucking me so hard>uncounterable heals>random repo (with heals)>my Kufufu misses whenever I need her to hit the mostThe other D scrimms were so easy in comparisonI guess I should just wait until I'm 90 and get myself a dHina
How come there is no newfag guide on lessons? How should I go about leveling the areas?
>>539244238I kneel AruGODs
Nice GDD team. Would be a shame if something happened to it.
>>539244925A guide for what? You just do the lesson and that's it
>>539244921what team
>>539244925Bee yourself. You'll get every area to rank 12 eventually.
>>539244925stop relying on spoonfeeding you baby lmao
big momoi
>>539244925The thing about giving students lessons is all about the timing, like for some students they like when you give them lessons during the day, choosing the right location also helps, other students like it when you give them lessons at night, for example if you choose to give students like Mutsuki and Hanako lessons in your room at night time they get a boost, you also have to consider syngery, Momoi gets less of a boost if you give her a lesson with a student like Karin, also, consider your own apperance, some students like it when you show some skin, gives them something to lick their lips about.
>>539244925Literally just do lessons wherever you want
>rabbits doujinFinally>prostitution tagNever mind
I love Iroha
>>539244925Just go with areas that have wanted nonfarmable elephs with the highest tier mats.
>>539244925just level them up to 10 (I think that's the rank that unlocks everything) then do the others. And once you have everthing unlocked level everything up to rank 12
>>539244925People here told me to leveling all areas equally was the way to go. They fucking lied to me.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>539244698Yes there have been 2-star banners in the past, but do you really want to be dropped pyro on a 2-star banner nigga?Haven't seen one in a while anyways afaik

I'm currently on that part where students and sensei (me) board the Ark. Which episodes should I skip to get into the kino part without missing anything worth reading?
>>539246736Use the blue rocks as bait. Works every time.

>>539253114>>539253745Kinda sad he had a falling out with nexon. The same thing happened to sumire and nagisa's original artist, same thing happened with suzumi's artist and Tomoe's artist.Nexon just seems to have a pattern of treating most of their freelance artists like complete dirt to the point where they're willing to cut ties.
>>539253354only gifts and round 8+1. I got extra 64 binocs instead of going for hards. I messed up

>>539254148Why don't gacha companies have an inhouse art team anyways? It feels like most of them just hire freelancers and the artstyle turns out a complete mess as a result.

...the losing competition
We’re getting a new guide task with Niya’s release right?
>>539254492>Why don't gacha companies have an inhouse art team anyways?Because then you risk what happened to nexon last year where the inhouse art team revolts and leaves the company, leaving the team headless.An in-house art team is stuffed with creatives who will fight you at every turn for their vision, and them being larger stakeholders in the decision-making process backs up their threats.Better to rely on freelance artists as the industry standard. They're cheaper and you can keep them at arms' length and cut ties easily when you need to. Versus an in-house art team that just brings issues too close to home.
We were having a competition?

>>539256567and yet nexon is the only company out of all game companies who has trouble retaining ties with these freelance artists and using their work effectively, damn it's almost like nexon has a long 20+ year history of treating their employees and partners like complete fucking trash as last year has evidenced

>>539256927>If he had a falling out he wouldn't be working on it at all.Not really, no. Working with Yostar is easier than it is working with Nexon. Artists ultimately want to get paid for their work with as little strings attached as possible and keep business relationships open when possible. Even the traitors last year cut ties with Nexon completely but still sought out a publishing deal with Yostar (which would've been funny as fuck if it went through, imagine Yostar publishing both BA and a game from former employees side by side)

>Heh, where's the proof, sir? In this house we believe in science.
Momoi could eat Sensei under the table.
>>539258286leave lol
Meanwhile other freelance artists like whoisshe still make official stuff for BA. Even if it's as small as a drawing for full anni wall.
It's a long, well-known history that was brought up time and again by the KV rumors themselves (in that MX Studio risked losing reinvestment funds to incubator programs for new titles and studios, and those who couldn't make the cut to transition into the incubator program for Project RX were going to be maint. staff for MX / BA with middling career prospects).Nexon hasn't had good internal development practice for years. Their specialty is in buying up new studios, keeping them profitable for a few years, and then dropping support before development costs outpaced dwindling profits. NatGames is one of their most recent acquirements, even if it is now 7 years ago (starting from an initial investment in 2016 as a shareholder to total acquisition in 2018).

If the prior history of Nexon was enough to sway dozens of senior-ranking developers away from their relatively comfortable jobs and take a massive business risk, then it shouldn't be surprising that PD Kim was planning on doing more with less resources regardless if a mutiny happened or not.This also lines up with the fact that if Nexon was promoting new lead staff around April of 2024, then faced a massive turnover around July 2024 But you would think that during this absence, Nexon would at least drop a few tens of thousands of dollars to re-hire the old artists in year 1 to minimize loss of profits, right?Because Yostar still allows the likes of ayamy (who drew Shimiko), empew (who drew Suzumi), famepeera (who drew Nagisa's old version and Sumire), and other artists from that era to contribute towards marketing material, but for whatever reason Nexon does not seem to be able to retain a working relationship with these artists to contribute to in-game assets (that arguably need more effort to match what is being advertised through merch and marketing).And if rumors are to be believed, vinoker (who originally designed Mari) and mery hinted at having soured relationships with Nexon, but could not discuss details due to NDA.

it still falls on PD Kim / his replacement to determine the priority and level of investment each part of the game gets.it seems ludicrous, petty, and risky to me that he isn't willing to work with previous contracted artists and would rather sit for 18 months to let any content touched by the mutineers rot and then suddenly pop up with Volume 6 and a new school faction as if 18 months of mediocre, unfixed content wasn't causing a severe decline in revenues.

>so did everyone else forget about BA after 4th anniversarySomeone really wants to get reminded of the comiket chart. Or how last month had BA getting the most art in one month ever, according to pixiv.>i-i-it doesn't change anything! DOESN'T COUNT!!lmao
>>539260108>>539260575>(according to the article, Isakusan and someone else that left would've been the 2 highest paid employees outside of Kim Yongha if they stayed)That number is factoring in their bonus. Nexon decided to cut off their bonus despite BA's legendary turnaround being only made possible by then.Why stick with a company who doesn't value your labor whatsoever? A company who will sabotage your team by pulling 40+ team members away from BA to work on their other incubator projects?

>>539259394>it seems ludicrous, petty, and risky to me that he isn't willing to work with previous contracted artists>Isn't willingThat's pure headcanon. It also seems fairly reasonable that, if you've lost as many in-house artists as you have, you'd want to let your inhouse artists do some work rather than being dependent on contracted artists.>and would rather sit for 18 months to let any content touched by the mutineers rot and then suddenly pop up with Volume 6 and a new school faction as if 18 months of mediocre, unfixed content wasn't causing a severe decline in revenues.The fuck are you talking about? There has been a better flow of content since they left as well as prettymuch every student from them that was in NPC jail being released, how is that letting "their content" "rot"?We got the new school after almost every other character that was in demand was released, Kai was fleshed out as a prisoner with an arc and we had multiple decent events showing that they were perfectly capable of writing content for old students.
>>539260624decca spy
>>539260495And what if the artist declined. What if some of them value their independence more or just treat drawing as a side gig? Or maybe it's just cheaper to have an artist you're paying already on monthly basis to draw an alt instead of trying to reach out to the original artist?
>>539261228Shoo, stinky
>>539261010>Why stick with a company who doesn't value your labor whatsoever?I'd say getting bonuses that make you better paid than the nexon CEO, even if temporary, is having your labor valued>A company who will sabotage your team by pulling 40+ team members away from BA to work on their other incubator projects?That's standard practice in the videogame industry, not seen as a bad thing at all anywhere, and if anyone got offended by it that's on them for being naive and stupid
>>539261228gn grandpa
>>539261197Can you skip to the part where you just say BA is evil because it has lolis? It’d make this whole thing easier.
>>539261305>Or maybe it's just cheaper to have an artist you're paying already on monthly basis to draw an alt instead of trying to reach out to the original artist?I sincerely doubt that. Infrequent one-off commissions with freelance versus having to pay annual salaries + benefits + other line items in the compensation package.There's a reason the vast majority of gachas use freelance artists, not in-house artists
seia is an onahole
>>539261521>having to pay annual salaries + benefits + other line items in the compensation packagYou're already paying them that so you may as well tell them to draw it.
When has a doomposter ever "won" in this general? I'm a steambab but it's real embarrassing seeing these guys lose by deflecting, strawmanning, moving the goalpost, and committing a lot more fallacies. I have never seen a single victory since the launch
>>539261521>Infrequent one-off commissions with freelance versus having to pay annual salaries + benefits + other line items in the compensation package.But they HAVE employed in-house artists, or are you advocating that they should fire them and cheap out on commisioned artists.You're making this very hard to follow, moving staff over to a new project is sabotage but using the artists you have employed instead of hiring out work to cheap contract artists isn't?
>Vol 6 in 28 hours>Global stream in 3 days and 11 hours>JP stream in 4 days and 8 hoursIs it, dare I say, their time?
>>539261725Never yet but they say their victory is only two more weeks away, though they said that last year too.
>>539261651There is no "so you may as well" part of this, they were hired explicitly to draw it. Freelance artists will always be cheaper than full-time employees
>>539261521>There's a reason the vast majority of gachas use freelance artistsMostly older ones like AL, AK, and FGO, from what I can tell. Mihoyo, Gakumas and Nikke, for example, all seem to have an in-house team, and a pretty exclusive one at that.

>>539261746NTA but having some in-house artists and some freelance seems like a good balance of stability and cost-saving
>>539261725Never. I still remember this one lol (probably same retard)>>504651859>>505984751
>>539261854No. The main reason for the doomposters is that Blue Archive heavily features lolis, which makes certain types of people very upset.
>>539261829Sounds like Isakusan and co were sabotaging BA by staying there then. Good ol' benevolent Isakusan, leaving and taking the artists so that BA could instead use cheap, contract artists like other gachas. Shame Nexon continued to sabotage the IP by employing more.Truly irrefutable evidence that they had a bad working relationship with the artists they used when the IP was being developed.
>>539261521Hypothetically, would it work to crank out your art with AI and have a single underpaid dude touch it up to be less deformed? Maybe with guns and an ass focus as the selling point? Jiggle physics are chique nowadaysHold on i'm going to write this down

>>539261838Hoyo games / gakumas in-house is largely focused on the 3D aspect since they are fully 3D, non-chibi games where the 2D artist has much less public visibility.I don't know about Nikke, maybe their setup is different especially with their CEO being a legendary figure in the KR gaming industry in his own right.also im not even really sure that applies for every Hoyo game, Furina for example was designed by a freelance artist if I'm remembering right and she's one of the most popular characters people associate with gehnshin

Imagine wasting hours of your life spreading fan fiction about le evil company and its relationship with freelance artists.
Done
>>539262249the initial levels are braindead but once you start hitting your limits it's a fun game
>>539262451Got an apology, a 10 roll, and it got fixed eventually so pretty good I guess.
>>539261746There is nothing hard to follow. BA had a severe labor shortage of art staff.Instead of leveraging their previous contacts to make up for the shortfall, they pinned everything on their desperately small art team of 3 or 4 fulltime artists. Leading to overwork and quality reduction, all the while shrinking BA's budget for their other game projects.The issue is nexon's total incompetence. They see a golden goose and they decide to strangle it instead of nurture it.
>>539262557Nigga close the fucking game and stop trying to farm hours played
You wouldn't be upset over doomposting if you didn't know it was true
>>539262495Rawdogging Kayoko in a dirty public restroom
>>539262640You don't know any of this stuff you don't work for the company. You are a total lunatic repeating the same fan fiction you already did expecting a different result
>>539262660I'm just a slow reader
>>539262753I wouldn't be upset over doomposting if it moved to some other place and not shit up this place. Idk, go to /trash/ and doompost there to your heart's content.
>>539262640>BA had a severe labor shortage of art staff.[citation needed]>Instead of leveraging their previous contacts to make up for the shortfall, they pinned everything on their desperately small art team of 3 or 4 fulltime artists. Leading to overwork and quality reductionI'd argue the quality has only improved now that we don't have to deal with mx2j's half-baked slop. >all the while shrinking BA's budget for their other game projects.[citation needed]
>>539262753I'm trying to figure out his mental status
>>539262753I wouldn't be upset over doomposting if you posted more Seias
remove mlemSeia from premises
>>539262640How did 3-4 artists shrink the budget compared to the dozens of artists they were previously employing?Where is the quality reduction in arc compared to the garbage mx2j was churning out?Why was moving artists to a different project to thin down the art team before sabotage if you consider the art team too big to be worth maintaining at apparently 3-4, when before it was heaps larger?Why is building up your new in-house art team "strangling the golden goose", but depending on outside contractors not? Surely building up replacements for your massive art team that fucked off is a sign of investing in the future rather than contracting out bandaids.It is very hard to follow because you spout conjecture and make statements that have absolutely no basis in reality.The "Nexon pay artists to make all the fanart" shitpost has better legs than this "My uncle works at Nexon now listen to this contradictory nonsense" arc.
Will Nexon also use Ai for ba's new content.
>>539262910This enough of a fucking citation for you?Keep in mind this used to be doubled, tripled before last year
>>539263083yes
>>539263083Just like my japanese ZUNs!
>>539263040
>>539258659Arguing is fun yeahProblem is most arguments boil down to "oh I didn't know that", a miscommunication, or a bad actor trolling; which makes most arguments annoying/unsatisfying
If it still existed, I'd have prayed for a Dragalia Lost x Blue Archive crossoverNow I pray for salvation
>>539263117It's over
mlem should be free
>>539263115I like how you completely ignored everything elseThis still doesn't mean they had a shortage btw, if existing staff can still keep things running with no issue (which they have)
>>539262753But if we don't respond we'll be called slow and we'll have>Page xposts instead!
Dragalia.....
>Page 2
>>539263079Less artists <=> less budget allocation. PD Kim's stated mission to do more with less. Standard profit-seeking bullshit meant to please shareholders.I am not saying BA's art team NEEDS to be smaller, I am saying NEXON is thinking that way and that that is a mistake.>Where is the quality reduction in arc compared to the garbage mx2j was churning out?Pic related is all you need to know.

>>539235564That just makes her sound even weirder and autistic. I guess she just isn't the girl for me. A shame she seems to have max affection stat right away with sensei.
>>539261725Literally has never happened. The closest they got was when KV happened but they got bitch slapped swiftly and we all celebrated.
>>539263271>keep things running with no issue>no issuelolWeren't you retards bitching the entire last month over baseball and pancake events? You think that wasn't a result of the fallout?
>missions finished at exactly 0:59 still counts as finished under 120 secondsnice>>539263458I had a dream

>>539263737leave lol
>>539263434>Pic related is all you need to know.Neru has never looked cuter than she does now, I agree
Yeah but where are the guns in sprites?
>>539263737>You retardsThat was just you samefagging though? Reasonable people thought the events were fine.
>>539263737The events were good>you guysWhat did you mean by this? Don't you play the game?
>>539263434>Showing an upgrade Retard
>>539263873that was a pretty fun shitpost that didn't even take into account the fact it also happened years ago
Per capita.
>>539263737>Weren't you retards bitching the entire last month over baseball and pancake events?And none of the issues with those events have anything to do with the art team so your argument falls flat here. And everything after Pray-ball has been highly praised in JP which further proves you wrong.
>>539263434jkNeru si much better than base neru though. Nemoga is a much better artist than mx2j
>>539263737Sis… That was you and your discord.
>>539263873I preferred 7-Up
>>539263960Momoi is spanish?
*munch*
Saars, stop noticing. This is completely organic criticism of Nexon.
>>539263960Stop bringing up crime statistics by race!
>>539263818>>539263952>>539263952If you think having less detail and a reduced color palette making everything look washed out and muted is an improvement, there is no further point talking with you.

We are closing the aggie nowThank you to everyone who joined, I hope you had funThe theme this time was sportswear, but as always anyone can draw anything BA related>>539238604Please us this for the next OPUncensored:https://files.catbox.moe/wdh5tj.png

>>539264297At least you'll shut the fuck up already LMAO
>>539264297>Stop liking this thing!
>>539264297If you've actually played the game, you'd know that was general art direction enforced years ago, long before the split. And it brought much needed art consistency instead of every student looking like they all were from a different game. Now stay true to your word and shut up.
Is mlemSeia a Blue Archive original meme or is it just a stupid edit like gookAko
>>539264335How would you guys feel if I started posting these on my 2-follower twitter account I use exclusively to follow nip artists and sometimes interact with them
Wait a second, so the entire argument ended with the schizo simply realizing that people like the newer designs?
>>539264764I'm sure it's also a gook forum meme.
>>539264805You should have just did it, they are attention whores anyway
Do you guys like Trip-Trap-Train because of the story or does the event structure also play a role? I'm a bit bummed that I'll never experience it a non-neutered version
>>539264872seems like it

>>539264872>people like the newer designsWhen did this happen? Most people here still use Ako, Seia, Shupos, Kayoko, Mari and Miyako images.
>>539264921It's just a regular event, similar to the dAru one we have right nowThe only experience you're getting cucked out of is the joy of getting FIFTY (50) pyroxenes every day (if you claim the event daily, which you'd occasionally forget)

>>539264872>>539265060Aru Rikuhachima, you said we would have an update in 7 hours, it has been 11 hours since then and we have yet to see this update your promised. Explain yourself immediatly.
I keep hearing about the mj2x guy decline, can someone fill me in? I though asuna, akane and co. were pretty sex, what happened after that soured his name so much?
>>539252486>What would you like to see Nexon announce in the upcoming JP stream? A main story update?The Kyomafu broadcast is only about an hour long, so I think they'll probably announce the second season of the anime. I don'tthink there's enough time to announce a collaboration.
>>539265858Look at S.Moe or Q.Marina. Especially at Marina's legs.
>>539265858He wanted to rule the world, and we all know what happens in those stories
>>539265858He drew the ASSclub as scrawny sticks
>>539265657Honestly I have no idea what you guys are talking about and I refuse to read the replies. I just reply to be included in the conversation because I'm lonely.

>>539265901She's so bouncy...
>>539265326>marrying loli twin sisterswhy was I born in the timeline that denied me of this happiness
Hey /bag/ newcutie here. Why are there no Ako fans in /bag/?
>>539264335These are getting really nice.
>>539265987Anon... fix your shit up or suffer even more
>>539266068I don't understand why people want two or more wives. Of course you should fuck the best girl twice instead of the best girl once and the second best girl also once.
>>539266078who?
>>539265905>the same guy drew base Moe and SMoewhat the FUCK I thought that was some fancy freelance artist or something
>>539262035>then you should know better than to say that merch makes more than in-game salesI mean. In fairness, that first post is not really wrong? Even if it did make a ton of money from merch, most sales would just go to yostar, wouldn't it? Since they're the ones handling most merch. Not BA directly
>>539265905S Moe isn’t THAT bad
>>539266234They're mormons, careful they don't assassinate you

>>539266234Harem Endings only serve to make everybody happy, at least in my opinion.The hard part is making sure that every possible combination of partners within a harem is compatible, but that's a whole other discussion.
>>539266078Ako hates me, I hate AkoPerfectly balanced as all things should be
>>539262035that thread just makes me sad, /bag/ used to be so fast back then even during dead periods
>>539266234sometimes I feel like gooning to Hina, sometimes Iori, sometimes Chinatsu/Ako
>>539266078I'd like her more if she spooked me
>>539266078We genuinely hate Ako outside her BDSM fetish
>>539266392Thank dog my wife is rather explicit in loving me so I can pretend the rest (with some exceptions) just admires me as an adult.
>>539266389
>>539266392Realistically the 4th wife onward is going to get the short end of the stick, and the attention whores are going to greatly imbalance the happiness levels
>>539266296Yostar is the middleman, Nexon owns the IP, and the manufacturer makes and distributes so it mostly goes manufacturer > Nexon > Yostar.
>>539262035Im kinda retarded, but is that poster wrong? Is hitting FoTM saturation and then dying out not acceptable?
>>539266389Imagine if she pooped a lot so the bear got all stretched
>>539265905holy shit i just compared both moes and it is so unholy, how did i not notice it earlier
>>539266029Run an ez mode comp and never mald again.
>>539266392I like seeing everyone happy.
>>539266702>manufacturer > Nexon > Yostarit's manufacturer > yostar > nexonyostar is the one talking directly to manufacturers per their own needs. nexon was upfront about them not knowing how to handle those sorts of deals because of their inexperience so they left it all pretty much up to yostar
STEP THE FUCK UP
>>539266392>>539266648lmao at disorganized senseis, just establish a rotation and a merit-based system with sex as reward
>>539266078But I love Ako-chan
>>539266889Seems like you just want it to be that way for the sake of a narrative. Feel free to ignore logic and reason zzz...
>>539266234Shimaidon
>>539266725Merch makes more money than gacha, this came directly from the devs and Nexon. This is not up for debate. Never argue with salesfags, none of us truly know what goes on in the corporate machine
>>539266702That's kinda why I don't buy merch sales being more than game sales. Too many steps on the way taking a slice of the profit. Game sales goes to nexon and yostar directly, or in global server's case it all goes to nexon.
>>539266648That's why you'd want to keep a harem rather low in number. Five wives would be the maximum I'd recommend if it can be managed, but I'd find the optimal number would be three wives.I think most Senseis would do well with two wives, which is good because there are a lot of duos in this game (Momoi/Midori, Hina/Hoshino, Hikari/Nozomi, Arona/Plana, etc.)>>539266841And that's perfectly fine too!
>>539266265Yeah, I was surprised too.
>>539267029>Merch makes more money than gachaNot a single quarterly report mentioned merch in this context.If merch did make more money than gacha you would've seen something that significant mentioned there as an area of focus.
>>539267104>a lot of duoswife and alt wife
>>539267167did Seia drop something?
>>539267194oh it really was you lmaoo
>>539267008what logic and reason, you mean going against the very thing nexon themselves have admitted in interviews loldude if nexon was the one calling the shots we'd be able to buy JP merch directly instead of having to send everything via proxies / forwardersbut we can't, because merch is largely yostar's jurisdiction, we only get the merch deals nexon themselves have made for global server
>>539267006to this day I rub one out to Saki semen demons every once in a while
>>539267064cute dork
>>539266987*gets marital gangraped*You are misunderstanding where your place in the hierarchy is
>>539267194It has become their focus for at least 2 years now, their massive seminar/interview thing from a few months ago proves this. In fact, they are trying out the Pokemon model if you really want a comparison. You were supposed to shut the fuck up already btw
>>539267198Maybe we can use that to skirt around monogamy laws."She's my lawful wife! She just looks different because she's wearing a different outfit today."
>>539267301Not your bogeyman, I wasn't even really focused on BA back then. Maybe if multiple people independently reached the same conclusion, you're just, idk, wrong? And spouting blatantly wrong bullshit like>Merch makes more money than gacha, this came directly from the devs and NexonWhere motherfuck, cite your source
>>539267339Nothing you said refutes what I said. By virtue of owning the IP, Nexon automatically gets the bigger cut. They're happy with the current situation of letting Yostar doing the middleman work and reaping the benefits.
>>539267029Understood. I will now buy more manbaby aru dolls instead of pakeji.
>>539267491>In fact, they are trying out the Pokemon model if you really want a comparison.the pokemon model only works if you're literally as big as pokemonthere is nothing to indicate that this is BA's strategy, no official mass production lines are being setup where you can buy BA plushies in some random desert shithole like you can with pokemon T-shirts
I think this Sensei person is a criminal and should be sentenced to being JTF's official stress relief toy
>came back for a 2nd bitch slap
>>539267510That's just circling back to twins, honestly.
>>539267593all your blood is gonna rush to your head...you can just climb down normally...
>>539267301Did you really expect that schizo to stay true to his word? Considering the timing, it's pretty obvious that post right below yours is most probably also from him.
>>539267705this Momoi hasnt matured yet, she is still green
>>539267705Waiter, this Momoi looks mossy.
>>539238604Remember aggie >>539264335
>>539267549>By virtue of owning the IP, Nexon automatically gets the bigger cutyou don't know thisit's dependent on the contractual terms nexon and yostar agreed on when they signed their partnershipand evidence points to yostar having vastly more leverage in this area over nexoncompanies aren't a fucking charity

>>539267491>It has become their focus for at least 2 years nowAgain, if it was their focus for at least 2 years now, they would have mentioned this in their literal financial reports meant for their investors that make up the backbone of their funding.You do not know what you are talking about.
>>539264335The Ashbringer...
>>539267860No one can argue against me that IP ownership is the end all be all but I'm glad I don't have to resort to making up shit like you lmao.
>>539267981I can see since he's trying to stagger his replies. Another loss for him
>>539267927not all educated guesses are made equalultimately none of us know the 100% truth because neither of us work at either nexon nor yostar, but yours is on the delusional end where you think a bunch of shitty acrylics or t-shirts sold, where manufacturers and intermediaries are taking their cut of the profit, is somehow making more than the millions of dollars the game itself makes, where no such middlemen exist. get fucking real dude>>539268093BA's IP ownership is split between nexon and yostar when it comes to the JP market, and yostar has almost complete freedom in how they advertise BA, you forgot to mention that in your shitty little narrative
also a simple little fact that destroys your shitty samefagging: if merch really was that simple, and the vast majority really is going to nexon, then why can't you buy JP merch directly?it's almost like there are contractual obligations where nexon defers promos and advertising to yostar because they have the know-how and the connections that nexon doesn't, something nexon themselves literally admittedobligations that gives yostar more control & leverage in how they market and sell their stuff, i.e. not outside of globalbut you'll of course ignore this because you're a drooling fucking retard who knows only how to spam like annoying pricks for the sake of pointlessly arguing and massively degrading thread quality instead of actually learning the truth of something, a typical worthless drone
>>539268124everyone can see you resort to ironic shitposting the moment your argument falls apart, yeah. and ironic shitposting is still shitposting
Good anti-friday
Good that its over. Bad that it begins again tomorrow.
It's never Friday if you truly believe
As much as I hate mondays, they always go by the fastest.
it could be worseIt could be Sunday night
I like Sunday nights though
Lets hope the rest of week blows by just as fast.
Of course you do, you terrorist...
I wonder if there's studies out there that quantify the amount of disdain for specific days of the week.There's something about Tuesday I hate more than Monday due the increased amount of traffic on the daily commute.Wednesday is usually worse so, but it's the half way point of the week. Thursday even worse so, but it's one day away from Friday.Simply put, every day is Monday.
Hate MondayHate TuesdayIndifferent towards WednesdayHate ThursdayReady for Friday
Clearly you guys don't know about super Tuesdays
For some reason that sounds like fastfood slop day.
Friday and Saturday are the best days
Sunday...
60% of sunday is good.Mornings are 50/50 depending on saturday night.
I see...
I don't
It's day of the week statistics.There's probably a useless degree out there for it.
Snoozing time, another monday awaits.
Until next time, sleep snug.
