What went horribly wrong?
mmo
gacha
omnipandering
Incompetent devs
>>1471365They RUINED Shirli.
>the 4.0 JP trailer doesn't even have jp voice
>>1471473I guess the AI and missing voices were a sign
>>1471365retarded chink decisions as alwayseverytime i see a game flopping, i only need to take one look and not even dig deep to know what's wrongand the best part is these companies deserve to have their shit games flop
>What went horribly wrong?A lot.The game has been shit for a while, but it held on due to cope and hope. People started to quit in droves once the hope of a better future was gone, and that was around mid way through domain 9.Actually nothing went wrong and this game was a huge monetary success, Hotta made a disgusting amount of money through a very mediocre game and they'll be using that money to make something else and repeat the process again.
o7 /tofg/
Crew status?
>>1471365dunno
You can check it yourself retard and no i won't bump the vg thread
>>1471473i use CN anyway kek
>>1471365Chink Fatigue.
IT'S OVER
If only they released Molinia properly
>Molinia NoBut playable Shelly back in early 2023 would have saved ToF
ironic this thread is still up but the vg thread is dead
>>1475734nothing to talk about
I miss Poyayaaaaaaan...
>>1475734How is that ironic? The opposite would be ironic since it takes a year for a thread to die here.
>>1475524i heard she's gonna be playable soon. same with loli lan. i think after they saw people made mods for that, they are selling it
Aesperia will always be special to me
NA world chat stopped working... how am i gonna get my x2 boss chests now...
>>1474850Molinia being turned into a censored skin was the final straw for me. I stopped spending, eventually lost interest in the game and quit.
it was fun while it lasted bros.
What's up with the people that insist this game is great? Looked shitty on day 1, and played like shit. Years later the combat still plays like shit. what am I missing?
>>1476401>what am I missing?Nothing. Idiots chose to ignore the red flags and play a shit game we knew wasn't good since it nearly EoS right out of the gates in China.
Can you retards remake the thread already? Damn
>>1476441Why, so it can die again before even hitting 100 replies? At least wait until there's something interesting to discuss.
>>1476401i like the combat and the game was improving right up until 2.4 then it went downhill
>>1476442I don't care about your arbitrary requirements for discussion. Make the thread bitch.
>>1476485Make it yourself if it's so important to you.
>>1471365Turns out a multiplayer focused Genshin isn't exactly a good idea.
>>1476555No. Turns out trying to make a multiplayer focused Genshin clone as your first major title as a relatively new studio is a bit too ambitious.
>>1475797I want to go back to the good times bwos...
>>1476489You don't even play this game bitch
>>1477090I hope you continue this shtick every game you play so I know which future games are total shit I should avoid
>>1477019I still think back fondly of 1.0 with /tofg/bwos from time to time, it really was good times
>>1477090hardly anyone does anymore
>>1471365I just found this game a few weeks ago and I'm enjoying it on PS5, just have to get past the weak ux menus, the stories are hardcode
wuthering waves popped off a lot harder than I thought bwos...they're killing any hope of a tof revival...
>>1471365>What went horribly wrong?they announced a new server that will make you lose all your progress, and with no powercreep, anyone that didnt had a good guild or didnt spent much in the game stopped playing to wait for the new server. And it never happened, nor they made a big deal out of canceling it (if it is canceled), im still waiting for the new servers, for months now
>>1478527I miss my wife YoshinoUsagi
>>1478527How many of those are still playing the game? Also post more guild meetup pics I want the sweet nostalgia.
>>1478440That's what happens when you straight up copy a successful game like Genshin and don't do it half-assed like ToF with bullshit mmo aspects.
>>1488463>>1478440Interest is already declining and it hasn't even been a full month yet. It's yet another soulless clone
>>1488463tof is a shitty mmo and shitty gacha game, it's close to success if only they just picked one
>Not even 4.0 could save the general from dyingIt really is the end, isn't it?
I like it
it's over general died on /vg/ again.
>>1494069This is like the third time in a month this happened. You guys should just admit defeat and stay here
>>1471365>What went horribly wrong?No crossplatform play. Merging servers was a good thing. Console servers being separated is not a good thing. MMOs require the most condensed playerbase you can get. You cannot have a social game and omit anyone's friends, because that detaches them from the game as well.
>>1494069And again
lin was getting buffed?
>>1477375running around with the /tofg/ bros hunting down the gates in artificial island was some the most online gaming fun I've had since way back when Then it all just fell apart. Lisa bro where did you go
>>1494149>thread dies everytime during SEA hours even though SEA server has the biggest playerbaseWonder what fucken drama happened to the Sea crew for it implode like that.
>>1495739This is a serious issue then. No point in remaking it if there's a good chance it will just die while most of the posters sleep or are away at work/ect.
>>1495739The crew simply doesn't have any real growth since the transfers, no new active players joining and as the time passes with the game isn't improving much & hotta being retarded, the little members that we had are simply had enough of the game so danchou decided to just disband while the few of us is still around before it gets even worse
Welcome back to the retirement home
i thought an mmo anime-styled game would give tough competition to the likes of ffxiv, but what do you know, people really base their opinion about a game on the very first few minutes of playtime and this game sucked ass at delivering a good impressionit felt cheap, it had bugs, and the worst of all, it had terrible exploits that immediately turned away the potential gacha customersi mean, why the fuck would anyone put their money into a game where it is possible for some f2p to manipulate gacha rolls or even interact with other players' inventories?absolutely ridiculous that anyone defends this dogshit company that was already shat upon in china a year before the game released on global server, for exactly the same issues that they didn't even bother patching outit was clear that these scummy hacks simply wanted to get as much money out of this lazy global port and then fuck off
>>1497140Even made by a competent developer the game would have still failed. Gacha mechanics and MMOs don't mix well. You can't make a game in a genre that's about progression (power) being tied to in-game accomplishments, then gate that power behind a gachapon and still please your target audience. There is a reason why you commonly see Asian MMOs monetize their game by selling QoL changes like additional inventory slots.
Come to Tarisland bros
>>1497140>i thought an mmo anime-styled game would give tough competition to the likes of ffxivmeanwhile blue protocol got fucked by ags and their retarded jp server intern for being anti-gaijin.
>>1497140mmo grind for powergacha for cosmetics and weaponsit was the easy fix they was scared to do
>>1497583They thought they could have their cake and eat it too (frequent $100 cosmetic gachapons + selling power + aggressive powercreep (15-20% or more each new weapon) quickly invalidating your power). Thankfully they eased up on the powercreep, but by that time it was too late, most everyone had already left.
>>1497644pretty much sadly such wasted potential
>>1497644lol i dont feel bad for any developer that pulls this shitit feels amazing seeing developers put millions into developing shit games like this and then get humbled
>>1497494blue protocol got fucked by being bad
I hope people from tofg know that this thread exist now. I hate to see people get separated.
>>1497785In the end ToF was a massive commercial success compared to the resources invested in it, so I don't think anyone got humbled aside from some of the devs maybe having emotional attachment to their work. As far as their business department is concerned, it carried perfect world's budget for almost 3 years, so I'm sure their takeaway from this is "can we do that again" rather than "oh no, we fucked up".
i got the saki outfit/weapon and cat ears for 2k DC
Bitch remake the thread
>>1498342why it will die again wait till 4.1 when we got shit to talk about
>>14983434.1 is just anka tho the thread won't even survive a week
>>1498400then get comfy here then
so how were the lin buffs?
>>1498667not happened yet, i presume its with the weapon skin
>>1498343Bitch just do it
>>1497583they werent scaredthey are just scummy developers who knew what they were doingbut little did they know that paypiggies only put money into a game if it is reliable and not filled with game-breaking bugs and fuck ups like the first banner fuck up, the gacha rolls fuck up, the ability to manipulate gacha rolls, the ability to mess with other players' inventories
>>1499065they were scared because they thought whales would not like the change instead it pushed away the majority of the playerbase including a % of whales
I'm still baffled they blundered global's release after having time to examine and learn from their mistakes with CN's launch, and having the benefit of releasing during content droughts for several big games as well as big name people willing to try and promote it (including that one popular wow streamer who kept begging to be sponsored).
I quit 5 months ago and reinstalled this after giving Tarisland a try. Uninstalled after 3 days because queue never found anyone, world chat was dead, and I couldn't skip the rest of the 3.0 story to get to 4.0 and events.>go to Infinite Sundial>now go here>go back to Infinite Sundial>but wait go here>go back to Infinite Sundial>nonono wait go here>go back to Infinite SundialFUCK YOU
>>1500638they some how thought ff14 waking sands meme was something people liked maybe chinks are still not used to scifi having instant communication despite the teleportation
Lin shards are in the store
what made me quit was titan gear, trying to get all the rolls into ele atk and praying they high roll was painful. it was already hard enough trying to do that with crit for gloves and boots. then there's having to pay with DC to transfer your titan gear to a better piece of gear...
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACKget it here before CN (choose just one of f2p combinations) https://files.catbox.moe/6eio28.zip
>>1501434who is the chick at the bottom left?
>>1501356>it was already hard enough trying to do that with crit for gloves and boots. I never got decent crit gloves after a year and a half before I finally quit, despite going after them daily. It was so fucking bullshit.
>>1501441>>1501356you both know that your titan makes your crit go up right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSTUxGeBk_c
>>1501440Future wanderer outfit. It was already leaked before at the same time as Anka's swimsuit but the leaker was untrusted back then.Now there is a leak that we will have summer swimsuit event, possibly more similar skins for Nora and MerylX (she exists, Volt/Frost)
>>1501356>>1501441Never managed to get any gear that was worth getting to Titan either, RNG rolls were such bullshit.>>1501448They should keep Wormhole and rework the rewards for it to actually make it worth doing, because that's the only permanent mode that's actually fun. Fuck, take VR and Stargate rewards and stick them in Wormhole, there you go 2 useless modes deleted and 1 fun one revived gg.Deleting everything except Balanced JO in CN will probably work, but for Global it'll depend on what the rework for it does, because when I quit matchmaking for it was dead.RIP support points from FCH. Bygone and dust changes seem good.
>>1501434Cute swimsuit for players, gotta wait to see if it also looks cute ingame too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK66qjmmM4sWhat the absolute fuck, is the game unironically about to EoS? This is beyond shameless holy.
>>15015644.2? more like 4 point COOM!
for some reason this random npc has a climbable head dont know why just wanted to point that out, also you may see a walking granny she is the only npc that walks outside of quests that has collision like mia you run into her and she will do an animation no other random npc does this but the granny why? how the fuck am i suppose to know
>>1501564The signs have been there for a while that they're desperate. At this point I would welcome its EoS.
>>1501760>>1501564i wouldnt call this EOS, from what i have seen from gateoo he said snowbreak or whatever the fuck its called is doing similar fan service and seen a huge rise in popularity in china because of it apparently the same femnist far left faggot shit going on in game studios in the west is happening in the east from what gateoo said, interesting to say the least, so from what i see here is hotta is being based and going down the coomer route, i see a somewhat change in direction for the game, i am ready to mmo and nikke coom at the same time
>>1501774>nikke coomDave the diver lmao
>>1501778dive into that ass
>>1501434thanks modanon
>>1501800what does it replace?
>>1501806shiro , use one of the 3
*inhales*NYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBpB0emeQoo
>>1502105oh no anyway
>>1502105But they announced they were working on a new game last year and even hired a lot of people for it. Why the doom?
how many coomer skins does nora have? i counted 2 in that trailer and 1 her base skin
>>1502141they want sponsorships with 4.2 looking like coomer heaven, asmon got fucked ever since his whole free hong kong larping shit its not going to happen
>>1502105https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpb059wINe0It really is a hivemind
>>1502156What are they even talking about? Nothing is different from usual
>>1502146>they want sponsorships with 4.2 looking like coomer heavenIt's a bit late to try pivoting to coom like snowbreak did. I can see why they wanted sponsorships in the beginning, back when the game appeared to have a bright future ahead of it. Now it's so irrelevant people act surprised when you tell them it hasn't EoS yet.
>>1501564I mean the area is basically a big summer resort. Seems like a waste to not capitalize on it.
>>1502167>It's a bit late to try pivoting to coom like snowbreak didyou underestimate the power of coom, the baldy goblin asmon has been seething non stop ever since he never gets sponsored he will forever look to shit on top because he actually wants to play it which is funny to see
>>1501564Probably a last-ditch effort before deciding whether or not to EoS, it's too similar to Snowbreak's sudden direction change. I don't know if I'm more surprised that they're actually going the Nikke/Snowbreak route, or that it took them so long to do it. How long until they delete the male Executor and Simulacra?
>>1502228>it's too similar to Snowbreak's sudden direction change.That pivot was also accompanied by official statements by seasun outlining the shift to fanservice and the male erasure that followed. This is in all likelihood just a one patch thing capitalizing on the fact it's summer.
>>1502241nah this is literally a carbon copy of snowbreak dorms. they are on their last legs rn hoping copying the winner will help
>>1502257you keep forgetting that it doesnt matter what the game makes its a RND game for them
>>1502268>it doesn't matter what the game makesWell, something *has* to make them money. And it sure aren't their new releases OPM:World and P5X which both flopped already. So they have to try milking ToF harder.The company is in the negative for 2 quarters in a row already and has to sell assets to stay afloat (Universal Pictures film inventory)."In Q1 2024, Perfect World's operating income was 1.329 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 30.19%, and its net profit attributable to the parent company turned from profit to loss, reaching -29.7641 million yuan."
>>1502268holy copiumyou can't RnD when the developers are incompetentonly the art and combat movesets improved, the actual gameplay loops and experiments are all trash
>>1502452>you can't RnD when the developers are incompetentYou sound retarded >>1502442Again RnD costs money this is a cheaper way of doing it
>>1502455Any feet in ToF?
coomer patch can save this game but they need guide to visit gethos. or straight to gethos after doing aesperia tutorial.
>>1502485Non-safehorny swimsuits and minor pandering for one patch is not going to save the game.
i might just drop my 10k DC i got left on nora i might just do it
>>1502455Can I see Meryl's feet?
>>1502647its in the pv
>>1502455she deserves to be in a better game...
>>1502731they all do bwo...
>>1502489NTA but no guarantee it's just for one patch. Even without the beach area, Loslyn's default look is definitely more horny-inspired than any character before her, and her gacha outfit is even more horny. The dorm system alone has huge potential for horny outfits and poses. And let's not pretend that the PV was actually showcasing the new map and characters, with the amount of tits and ass it zoomed in on.
>>1502789i want to slap my teammate's ass in a volleyball match
>>1502789the new map is a mirroria for network if you didnt know
>>1502455>>1502257>>1501564https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2OYcgr4rM
>>1502455For me. it's MC swimsuit
>>1502832i think i'd like it a lot more if we had loli height option for mc
>>1502832Was that supposed to be the Executor?
>>1502867That's (you), yes
for me, its other mc's swimsuits
>>1502832Clearly they need to buff the lolis and make them all wear japanese school swimswear
MIAHBD REDEEM CODE
>>1502957
>>1471365>What went horribly wrong?hotta chased money instead of good gameplay
>>1503210im saving this gif....for erm....post purposes yeah posting thats a good excuse
>>1501564bro have you seen nikke? they are even worse than this
>>1503223I know that nikke is even more coomer, what I was getting at was the sudden switch to high-level coomer pandering combined with some of the other happenings give off EoS impressions.
it looks eos but i dont think its eos cuz they're removing and optimizing things in 4.2. they wouldnt spend all that effort for nothing.
>>1503225you dont think its because of the constant doomer pilled fags constantly stating EOS that it has given you this impression? you need to remember that ToF is their try everything and anything game now they stated it themselves, if the coomer works expect more of it, i also say the first part because we have had plenty of coomer skins already lin and ling han annabella are some that come to mind with this summer theme >>1503227why does it look eos? exactly they are improving it patch to patch they wouldnt do that if it was going eos
>>1503240Can you ESL at least attempt to speak English?
>>1503292no fuck you
Its real!
>>1501564>>1501774all it takes to get money from sexless tiny dicked losers in a game as bad as this is shitty girly doll dress up cosmetics that could be viewed for free on porn sitesgaming is doomed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI5CDZJWDOE4.1 tomorrow >>1503573that's a retarded take look at nikke, its essentially a jpeg gif that can be viewed on google images doesnt affect its sales
>>1503592>more lan boxesAnother 160 gold pulls it is
>>1503638i still dont know what standard matrices are best for overall damage buff to comps
>>1501564bro look around you. You're playing a game full of coomers.
>>1503641All of them are shit compared to 3.0 sets, we're already at rubilia being in standard might as well wait for 3.0 matrices
>>1503223Nikke's been like that from that start, it's not the same thing. If you want to compare ToF 4.2 PV to another game, then that game is Snowbreak. And Snowbreak did what it did because they weren't making any money.
when is the update finished?
>>1504165its up alrd
>>1503641Just wait for linhan to go standard, that's the best buck you can waste your standard tokens into>Has the highest flight mechanic at A5 the game can offer for exploration>Gameplay is so dumb that you only have to hold attack and hit like a truck>4set is okay-ish as long as you use her skill and discharge under frost and volt compShe only lacks -resist which newer weapons would eventually have, others a good pick next from plotti then brevy.
>>1504168its time
Is Nora out in CN yet? Busted status?
>>1504191Next week or two, we are at the same patch as CN rn
goddamn you hotta give me vouchers this is fucking torture im trying to get the blue correctly matching the asuka school outfit i dont know if i should pull the trigger or if its too bright
>300,000$It's joever tofbabs, even with coom bikini patch, it won't solve the issue how fuck up exploring in 4.0 scum and the inherent powercreep and scare handouts.
>>1504246any more lies?
>>1504250>combined revenue
>>1504261so this just proves that the sensor is full of shit giving different amounts of revenue for different revenue statistics one says 850 the other says 300 lmfao and people believe this shit
>>1504263I mean the thing is just an estimate and chinese revenue is literally pulled out of the creator's ass.
>>1504267yeah exactly
Where are the new stamps from?
>>1504316Merchant in the middle of 4.0 city
>>1504316they cost around 2k altogether
I wonder if I should roll for anka
>>1504331bikini patch next bro keep that in mind
>>1504336bikini anka also next too
>>1504337oh yeah good point
Did they remove the 300 dc on level infinite pass?
>>1504693It sold out
>>1504698Guess im a day too late then
shes altered
>>1504740the weapon is the bike?
>>1504933no idea pv has not been shown yet looks like it though
>>1504933she has a big 2h sword since she's meryl's mom
did anyone manage to equip accessories on sim characters like gateoo showed off? i cant seem to do it...
>try zenless zero>gameplay manages to be even more face roll then any other mobageI mioght just stick with ToF...
>>1505463Hoyodrones glazing the combat so hard when they would've shat on it if it's from anyone else.
>>1505380what?!?
>4.2 isnt until september at the earliesta whole patch of nothing to do
>>1505463I keep seeing the drones praise how great the gameplay is and how the game's goty. The way these people speak you'd think hoyoslop are the only games they play.
>>1505611its not that far off time will pass quickly
>>1505611What about the anniversary?
>>1505380Are you actually making changes to your character's accessories while possessing Nan Yin clone? Just clicking save without changing something doesn't work.>>1505793NTA but still at least a month away.
>>1505793They will just release the new swimsuits and do anniv rerun banner probably
>>1505798>while possessing Nan Yin clonethe problem for me is it just doesnt let me save while im possessing the clone. only once it runs out does it let me save the changes, and by then its too late
holy shit, Im losing IQ but my boner is very very hard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plzOjN8Lkkw>bike and swordrollin
>watch ToF Content Creator on Youtube>he wants to share his knowledge to new player (best Comps ect)>but the new players have to be whales to get the newest and latest toysunlucky
>>1471365yo, are the gacha rates still higher compared to male characters to pull for?
>>1506301yeah im rolling too DMC vibes
>>1506301Cringe, should have went with full bike and drop the chinese sword... fucking wuxia shit again.
>>1506501its devil may cry inspired https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvNkUi3q_aQdante uses a sword too alongside the bike
What's your thoughts on ZZZ combat? People say it's DMC inspired
>>1506538
>>1506538Saw too much furry shit so ain't gonna try that
>>1506538Parry feels way too generous and combat is just buttonmashing in general. It looks good but that's about it.
anyone here known list of ip address for asia pacific and europe server? and server location too. i want to create new account.
>>1506624Sounds like asking for a DDoSLiterally boot up the game and choose region/server.
>>1506624what kind of hacker known as 4chan faggotery is this that you are asking right now?
>>1506501>giant whip like sword is chinese
>>1506680kek domain 9 has affected us all anon everything is numba 1 china now
>>1506630>>1506649routing issues on internet provider. apac and eu used to be stable below 100ms but now 200-300ms.
>>1506680They should have went full dante motorbike like this >>1506510 and drop the fucking sword of instead of pushing their wukong culture into everything.
>>1507061Nothing about that sword is chink maybe you should stop acting like a traumatized little bitch anon.
>>1507061its only 1 or 2 moves out of her whole kit i just seen it, its all bike
Guess who this is
>>1507061>a fucking transforming sword bike is wukong cultureD9 really fucks everyone up huh
>>1507083>supposed to be """""bike"""" weapon>suddenly chink faggotry wuxia blade out of nowhere>>1507139No changing into chink stick is cringe as fuck and they should have at least copied the bike scene from ff7>>1507157If they're gonna copy dante's bike anyway, no need to put cringe sword transformation at all(this is wuxia btw, like bo staff suddenly becoming a sword), just fucking split the bike in half and slap it against your butt or something
>>1507153Meryl
>>1507153>>1507175Huh so the leaked Meryl was seriously volt Meryl? What about Gray Fox?
>>1507225Gray Fox will be frost
Is a f2p account with some older characters up to vera lin release worth going back to or is it better to just start over fresh?
>>1507232she uses a key as a weapon
>>1507252what characters you got with stars
>>1507273None apparently, tried to log on my old account and it sent back to the opening. Definitely got the right email since it had all of the version update emails from hotta and fairly certain I picked the right server too. Astral-Noa was the SEAfag server right?
>>1507305no idea, might as well restart then, good timing too you can save up for the new SSRs anyway in 4.2 along with bikini if you are into them
Asmongold said ZZZ sucks compared to ToF, he quit ToF during 1.0 lmfao
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoB6GxdDjqE4.1 qrd
>>1507305Every region got their server merged into one now so server are more like character slots nowWhat did you get from returning? if there's enough dc/red nukes maybe its better to just keep using it and wait for the anniv banner
i need to start spamming the scorpion boss i just noticed the cosmetic and i like it
So is Meryl after Nora?
>>1507691should be by the order of the PV
>new fiona mod in gateoo discord
>>1507712Altered voltbros are eating good
>>1507872Nora is every element including altered btw
>>1507309>Asmongold saidWho gives a fuck what he has to say about anything?
>>1507902Sorry ZZZ sleeping
>>1509695damn meryl looks great
Till the end of the timeNone of us will say goodbye
>>1509838Bitch remake the thread already
>nobody does new event because first one is more "efficient"Gee thanks Hotta for tying that shit to the story and not removing it when the new one is added.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0eWZGKPpcohe's coming back
>>1509868Literally bricked because I can't continue the event at all until people queue.
>>1510059bwo, just ask your crew
>>1509868>>nobody does new event because first one is more "efficient"only event you HAVE TO do is the 3rd mia shooting event it has a exclusive cosmetic tied to it
>>1509875it sells man it really does sell, gacha going for sex instead of power is going to bring a new era to china numba 1

>>1510099You have to do them all thoughbeit
>>1510271but do you?
>>1510269so what if he is you jealous?
>>1510274Yes because they had the genius idea to tie the main story to an event.
>>1510336oh fuck
>>1509875
>>1510381literal npc sheeps its quite scary how retarded people are to be easily led by someone
Where's nora kit, the fucking gaycunt video brings nothing to the table, heck he didn't bother posting her skill description
>>1510397Its as if influecers actually influence people to play despite how infamous one is>>1510551Posting her kit rn would be pointless since shes still in testing and can change anytime she just got huge nerf on day 2 iirc
>>1509875gross
What's this somewhat big patch for?
Maybe this stupid ass event would work if you could actually queue without a popup every minute
>>1476562>ambitious
>>1503573t. leftist
Why do you keep giving this company money?
Bootleg Nora replacing Rubilia https://files.catbox.moe/po1rv3.zipPick Noraf2p or NoraRedf2p for different A0 versions, A3 is always swimsuit.>>1510967I'm literally stealing from them.
>>1510110It only sells if you commit wholly to it like snowbreak did. Hotta will throw in the occasional fanservice bit, but will never turn ToF into that sort of gacha nor can they even if they wanted to since this game has playable males and a FemMC.
>Going the Snowbreak routeHow desperate are the devs now?
>>1511114It sells because of their PR, advertising, and china's lack of options.
>42,000DC for a tweetthis shit is rigged

>>1511097can you make her dorm version into playable mod aswell?and thanks for the mod going to use it until she releases since im gonna roll her.
>>1511097based thanks
>>1511114I bet the majority of people who chose FeMC would love it if the game went the Snowbreak route.
>>1511114did you see the dorm system? they are going all the way with it
What would you like for Hotta's next game / ToF 2?
>>1512342if they just changed the power from gacha to grinding and cosmetic to gacha that would fix tof
>>1510551i think this is it. looks like it does different stuff for each element, but i aint reading all that
>>1512878she really is a must pull i might just A0 her
>>1512087It still needs some work, but they're definitely trying.>>1512878It does, I think the final verdict was Phys > Flame > Frost > Altered > Volt, at least for now.>>1513117Need A3 for defense ignore, and also for some of the dormitory stuff.
>>1513203the dorm stuff looks pretty lackluster desu, i wouldnt a3 just for that. also i think other units are getting this too(?) so i would only a3 some you really want to sex, as they will likely also have restrictions for a3
>>1513203Volt eating dirt again, guess i'll A3 anyway to help my other elements
God i fucking hate jannies that work for free and sweep for retards
>>1513229That's what Meryl is for
It's cool how I still can't progress this event
>>1513412just do the story mission and skip the 2nd event mode, the 3rd event mod is the only one needed as it gives a cosmetic
is it worth spending my guarantee on lin? i remember she was meta back when i last played 2 years ago
>>1513432no wait for nora
https://nte.perfectworld.com
>>1514847Gato... nyes...
>>1514849
>>1512878So is she just always on-field? Doesn't seem very future proof for an alter
>>1514928you're right, but they aren't adding any new content for powercreep to matter anyways
>>1514847Trailer uphttps://twitter.com/NTE_GL/status/1813045063397867641?s=19
>>1515293I can't believe 4.0 was just a testing ground for this.
>>1514847Gameplay preview uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHL_7IoZzF0
>>1515298Better driving than Cyberpunk
Is if over ToF-bros are we gonna be in maintenance mode?
>>151542010 years of maintenance mode.....>>1513412I didn't do the 2nd event and the story still continues after the 3rd event is unlocked so you don't have to do the 2nd one, the 3rd event have a dance for reward tho so the que isn't dead....for now
>>1515421That's good but I could have sworn there was a scene after beating the first one. Oh well
>"fixed" the event queueing by removing recruit spam>but still times out after a minute
>>1512878No free minus resist when charged? Meh but I would still roll anyway since my fire and piss is eating dirt in bygone
>>1515298>>1515293I'm really looking forward to this gameTower of Fantasy is already so polished and well made that this will definitely steal everyone's hearts away with the award winning story telling Hotta is known for.
>>1515687if you mean resist shred, thats her a3. also that a6 is retarded lmao. i guess it solves this issue >>1514928
>>1515901oops i forgor to attach the image
>>1515695seriously, how will hotta fuck this one up?did they get mindfucked by tof so bad that they are gutting down character creator and mmo?this one is very safe, like an urban reskin of genshin
>>1516000They will have $200 gacha skins and $1000 mounts and you will like it
>>1516000They already fucked it up by not having a character creator and multiplayer.
Why do people hate a hateboner for this game?
>>1516237*have
>>1516237Because they hyped the shit out of it only for it to be a mess riddle with bugs. When they ironed out the bugs, the game was mediocre as fuck. Then the devs tried everything under the sun to bring players back (deleted males, added fanservice) but forgot to make the game good and fun.
>>1516329What the fuck are you talking about. Sounds like you're confusing multiple games here.
>>1515298Hotta cooked i cant wait for this.
I actually prefer Hotta monetisation over Mihoyo.Perfect/Hotta adopted multi-prong approach of monetisation instead of putting all the focus on one system as Mihoyo.In ToF, there are always skins, BP, cars, banners, gift packs to sell, everyone has something to spend (metafags slurp up banner, while fashionfags slurp up skins, low spenders buy 5$ passes, or 10$ box for old character simulacra)The most important shitty thing from ToF devs is that their gameplay loop TOTALLY SUCKS (goddamn Domain 9 pacman, and poorly explained mechanics during fighting raid bosses).Recently 4.x seems to be better gradually, but I'm still very skeptical with Hotta on their ability to make NtE really fun on long term
the normies are catching on to NTE. im smelling goty in the making.
>>1516913I've often seen on Tieba/NGA that the chinks have a stereotype about westfags: "the West always likes guns, cars, and football"This game seems to have exactly one of that trio: carsOnly guns and sports are missing, haha
>>1516913millions on youtube know about this game just on views alone im somewhat worried and excited about what this means
>>1514928I think she's main DPS for Frost, Volt and Altered. Phys and Flame should be able to cast her skill and then switch to a different weapon. If they stick with the longer banners, she should last about a year, so not a terrible investment.
>>1516329>deleted malesThat was Snowbreak, and they didn't even delete actual playable characters, they were PNGs that gave your character more stats or something.>>1516237Because it's a pretty fun game that had a fucked launch. If Global had just used the version where CN had patched all the known exploits, then maybe it would have retained a bigger playerbase. They also needed to do better balancing from the start, but I guess when you're trying to tone down insane powercreep, things are bound to get a bit messy.
>>1517089Sounds like the type of freaks that would get intimidated by Franz.
hotta delivers on quality and they make customer friendly gamestof is far more f2p friendly than genshin or any other mihomo game in the market
>>1517329very true, its why im looking forward to NTE
>>1515903No I mean the basic charged attack from dual elements since after zeke where we get free -15% resist because to fuck grevious effect mainly physcucks.
>>1517329They sure didn't make you think so with their 1.0. My god was that a shit-fest.>first event : skin gacha where you have to pay a few hundreds for the skin>everything multiplayer focused. No whale in your team? Sucks to be you>pvp for whalesThe "hoyo" gacha system together with MMO shit was THE worst idea anyone could have. On top of that everything was yank, especially the UI, and dailies took even longer than in Genshin. By a landslide even.I dunno how they turned that shitty start around. Tons of free gibs after 1.0 similar to how Wuwa already tried to salvage in 1.0?
>>1517360Game was fun until it became a chore with bloat of activities that doesn't improve your account
>>1517361i think it became a chore when they didnt innovate the endgame, but i kinda see why, NTE according to gateoo was being developed since 2.4 CN of ToF and it shows, 2.4 was the last real innovative patch it was fucking insane in content i know a lot of people may have not liked the underwater but i think it was amazing for a gacha game, after that it was stale, i also think the endgame needed to be freshened up but it was stuck and the improvement of the account stopped when titan arrived
Next world is space and mecha focused, will launch third anniversary, there was a lot more information but my crewmate said it'd take some time to get a better translation on it so I'll update if I hear more. possible Asuka/Rei re-run maybe? if anyone can translate would be helpful seen this on reddit
>>1517381oh lol yeah EVA re-run confirmed
>>1517382>>1517381also dorm every patch, meryl august for CN
>>1517381Nice, that's what I was expecting
>>1517634also says the promise of the game being supported for 10 years they are sticking to this
>>1517360>everything multiplayer focused. No whale in your team? Sucks to be youThis was never a problem in 1.0.
>>1516237It's not that I hate the game, I just find it hilariously sad how they find new and interesting ways of fucking things up. Like how incompetent can one developer be?
NPC OUTFIT AND HAIR IS OUT
>>1518224>60 days eventholyshit
>>1518226I just want the hair desu
>you need to collect 30 shards from janky pvp shooting minigame>to get the shard you have to win the match or kill at least one guy>matchmaking is almost dead so I get the same people and eternal lose streakWho the fuck thought this would be a great idea? Why does hotta hate its playerbase so much?
>>1519286good. the likes of you should be gatekeptstop being entitled, git good or miss out on limited itemsdo you really need to be carried in a totally balanced event? go ask your crew then to queue with you
>>1519358Weak bait.
>>1519286what do you even get from it?
>>1519286Yeah you must do it day 1 so whatever players left is still farming for it sadly, in SEA pubs usually people have to make party to farm it or just keep spamming world chat>>15194643rd event have dance emote shard
>>1517382>>1517856That's probably specifically for CN, yes? I genuinely don't see Global lasting 10 years. Not sure how collab contracts work; I can easily see CN getting the banner reruns and Global getting nothing. Didn't Eva collab flop in terms of revenue in Global? Or was that one of the weird times where it did worse in CN?
>>1517351oh that. she does have that so long as you set her element to be anything other than altered.
wtf i thought tof general is gone and no more early access to gacha skins..cant believe i goon for month
>>1519638the revenue charts are full of shit gateoo made a video recently ToF has made over 600 million dollars in 3 years for hotta
>>1519828Won't change the fact if a new player would come in then that person has to suffer the inane starter weapons and exploring shit without jetpack and cybernetic arm. Fucking retarded design I swear
>>1519828Okay, but I'm guessing that's mostly CN. The last time I tried logging in to Global it was even more of a ghost town than when I left, so now I'm just waiting for news one way or the other about Reboot server.
>>1520017reboot is not happening, and again you are just guessing
>>1519828>my favorite streamer said something therefor it has to be the truthShut up you fucking retard
>>1520048nah you shut the fuck up faggot the revenue is from their taxes its fucking illegal and would send them to the chinese gulag if they lied on that shit so 600 million is the correct number so kill yourself
>>1520048>random chart from reddit that completely guesses half the numbers is more accurate
>>1520048no no, he's right. he is just conveniently omitting the fact 75%-80% of that amount was from 2022 and is long gone now.>>1520053>revenue is from their taxeswhat revenue? they proudly show net loss since Q4 2023 and estimate the same for Q2 2024.>Loss: 0.09 yuan/share – 0.11 yuan/sharehttps://static.cninfo.com.cn/finalpage/2024-07-10/1220588674.PDFToF is not even mentioned among their marketed projects. Unless this is your 10-year plan: "During the reporting period, several games in operation aimed at long-term operations and continued to update and refine their content but due to the impact of the product life cycle, the sales volume will naturally fall compared with the first half of 2023, and the corresponding industry year-on-year decline in performance">"the sales volume will naturally fall"
>>1520121https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IlUNzyJqGw&t=428s2 minutes and 40 seconds
>>1520127>linking NtE ad readI thought we were just joking about shills.thanks for funding the next game I guess. now read the post again - ToF revenue was constantly and rapidly dropping after the initial cashgrab. and now they even stopped promoting or even mentioning it - it has become a liability.thought I stand corrected, I found some more info https://www.reddit.com/r/TowerofFantasy/comments/15pxjrp/tof_cns_actual_revenue_and_more_according_to_a/>first 12 months: 3000 million CNY(≈414 million USD)>2023.1 – 2023.7: 926.4 million CNY(≈128 million USD)how much does that leave from 600 million?
>>1520140>reddit
>>1520140>>1520121So a total of roughly 600 million usd is a flop? y'all aren't real lmao
>>1520271gacha brain rot does that to motherfuckers
>>1520271Seems like a success to me, but I don't know all the costs involved so maybe it's not. Probably is though. The only concern should be whether Global is making enough for them to continue supporting it for the foreseeable future. They should cut the EN dub to save some money, outside of a few characters it's pretty shit.
>>1520797its very cheap it was only a 50 man team in a very cheap in the middle of nowhere town in china for cheap living cost office cost and dev cost they made pretty much 600+ million in profit
Finally an event mini-game I can farm on my own
>>1521823>slacking off>making booze>competitive gato breeding what did they mean by that?post your score to confirm gameplaychad status
Any new swimsuit mod? or is it not even out on CN yet?
https://x.com/ToF_EN_Official/status/1815958109241896969Old characters buffs incoming. All 3 have a good chance.-Lin had (datamined? leaked?) megabuffs incoming-Meryl could be buffed for Merylx release-Same goes for Nemesis and 4.0 Nemesis
>>1522527i wonder if you grind this shit out or its just buffed in a patch
>>1522507does this count?
>>1522610I meant this one >>1502832
>>1522631CN doesnt have it yet
>>1521881I got like 16 and I still don't understand how half the shit works
>>1522527You have to buy shit like advance module with DC weekly, trust in Hotta.
>>1522699Damn they do be delaying stuff to fill the dead weeks
>>1523182btw, about that... you've been stocking up on gold modules, right? doing challenge raids every week, not coping with "more rewards are not worth the effort, etc."
>>1502167idk snowbreak was on a verge of eos and seaslug on a verge of bankruptcy. But I cant imagine anyone competent is still working on tof, especially considering hotta is now full steam into shilling their new game.
>>1520797if anything they should cut that fucking Brazilian one...
>>1472272so any predictions that the new game they making would go to the same route too?if anyone noticed the character designs look alot to HI3 characters in its early days (the white hair oni girl is straight up kiana from the graduation vid they release )
you can get the npc hair now
>>1524796>same routeNot sure what is the main thing you will do in the new game yet but they do reuse alot of TOF assets on the new game from the sfx and skill/attack animations though those might just be placeholders e.g mint have alyss and saki animations its hotta so i think they will just simply reuse but we'll see by then>charactersI feel the same too, its like the only character that they actually made themselves was just the fenrir lookalike
