>also did you finally full clear Portrait?
I am still working. Had to level up DC. I still think the mode sucks. 27 floors every week is mental. Power ups arent even fun. The only ''roguelike'' part of this garbage is perma death.

earth and water floors always cock block me. I did not summon on Ellen and Vesti and 4*s are weak in this mode.

>>1526786
What graces are you prioritizing?
It' was a lot easier for me when I prioritized Thanatos first
>top pick
Thanatos, Ira
>second pick
Akasha, Aeasa, Charlotte, Rhynara, Borte Crown
>third pick / dump stats (might be good to rush lvl. 1 early anyways then go back to it later)
Abagnale Lanclen, Nightwalker, Barry Allen (don't go too far past Lv. 5 since CD will always be 15 sec), Boden Caryen

Greed for as many stages/elite fights up to floor 11 or so, personally the bottleneck for me was floor 13 since I don't have a well-built blood DPS so I stop greeding there. After you get through the initial hurdle it becomes easier when your Thanatos shield is up most of the time

I used Albert+Sorin+DC+Aurora the whole way, though it would be a lot easier if I had Blood DPS
Avoid the sealed prison bosses at the higher floors, they are harder than the story bosses because you can't kill them before they get to full buffs. Edward or Mad King are easier fights assuming you're already used to their patterns after AL8 Veda Nightmares. I used Aurora as my DPS for both

also I hate to admit it since I started playing with a controller first
But I switched to keyboard since I'm docked into my monitor set up with a laptop for now

It felt like playing with those fight sticks with only buttons for directional movements too so it didn't feel as lame as I thought it would be (after I got used to it). Also helps that I have nice linear keys, i imagine it would feel terrible if i was using the actual laptop keyboard, definitely need some key travel for it to be fun

>>1526799
Is the damage reflect trash? Lena Elrod

>>1526838
shouldn't get hit too much for that to matter or you're dead anyways
if you're getting hit too much beyond Thanatos shield, then you're being too greedy with DPS and you need to cycle through your tank/healer more often

I find that Sorin gis able to spam signature skills so often that I'm able to keep Akasha buff up more often to dodge/reposition fast without having to dash, also Albert can tank a few hits you can be more careless when you're moving around bullet hell with Albert
Need to save stamina for dashing when you really need to plus for DPS (the huge atk buff grace for a few seconds after dashing)

goes without saying but each unit needs to be well-built. My haloes were lvl 60 for both DC and Aurora, and lvl 50 for Albert and Sorin. El Cids aren't as high and really not as significant a stat stick as haloes, but still at least lvl 40 for everyone
Relics as well, have been replacing all my filler relics with useless substats (just remember the one exception is +base Veda energy is better than +% Veda energy). I think weapon enchants as well, the veda energy is probably the best one since the +400 atk etc is only like +3% overall while having +90 veda energy is much more significant
I'm not entirely sure how the mechanic works but there seems to be some positive loop feedback here where using skills on another unit feeds veda energy to other units so you can cast more skills often and so on (maybe it'sa just same element Sorin -> Aurora though, not 100% sure)

This game ended up being far more interesting than wuwa and zzz; really fucking sad it was too afraid of these two games releasing and had to release pretty much a beta (borderline alpha seeing that horse event) killing it's first wave of players. If it was to release now? It would devour all that people that was left disappointed by both games. Really hope they can endure this painful first half and become everything it potentially could be in release. The issue with all these GaS games is that they give up way too fast and easy; they have been releasing update after update with ton of content (and no, I don't have to hear your spergy hate for cid and halos again, no, it don't matter in the big scheme of things RETARD) to do.

Did your guild survive bwo? How is it going in your place? EUbros? Still there?

Looking to move to set accessories, which of pic related would be good for DC? He's currently using a Pristine diamond with all damage reduction x2 atm

is veda energy regeneration or reduced energy consumption better for supports (Sorin in this case)?

>28th day Selector
>Arin
I guess I can use her as an icon now...?

>>1527583
Regeneration I far better. Consumption is easy to reach cap. Prioritize regen with some consumption.

>>1527843
thanks

>>1527583
reduced energy consumption is better, not only can you reach a point where signature skill is an instant cast, it also helps with sustain since you need less veda energy in the first place to cast again

There are also plenty of benefits to being able to cast immediately, rather than having to build up to it so RVEC + base Veda Energy are what I focus on (not just benefiting from the instant buffs of a siganature skill, but also e.g. Sorin's halo gives you increased veda regeneration right after a signature skill so it's a positive feedback loop essentially)
Just don 't forget that +30 veda energy substat is better than +8% veda energy substat

and actually thats why they nerfed RVEC by capping the max amount you can get at 35% because it gets too strong if you could stack it more

should we do a general for the guild update bwo? It seems like the start of Astra turning waves. The steady amount of content has been really nice.

>>1527582
personally with how annoying the purple ascension mats are to grind off sealed prison, I wouldn't waste them on any accessory that didn't max roll sub stats, or at least don't ascend past lvl 70
For anyone that doesn't scale off HP/DEF then the best defensive combinartion is
> Reduce ALL Incoming All DMG %
> All RES %
TOO BAD MINE GOT THE LOWEST 1/3 OPTION FOR BOTH SUBSTATS

>>1528129
you can try but competition's been tough the past year
DFO general is gone, even the animal crossing general is gone

>>1528142
I think I'm gonna go with second one in my pic (reduce inc damage + def), I want that set bonus. Still holding off on upgrading anything until the update though, I failed 50 on Sorin so I'm sure to get the electric healslut.

Wait, seriously? Crit DMG again? Less reason to farm but huh.

Yeah I am not farming that tunic. Same thing but hp. Whatever.

there was a game's director letter not translated yet:
they are adding more floors for portrait
we are getting sweeps
more story content for units that don't have one
relic sets
buff to old unused knights, specially featured/limited ones
more passive skills like free scrolls when enchanting
presets for relics and gear
more income for cid mats, guild shop will have them to start

a shitton of QoL and other stuff im too lazy to remember from the top of my head. look it up in the discord

>>1528782
>they are adding more floors for portrait
I doubt any F2P can even clear 10+ unless they're overhauling it.
>we are getting sweeps
Huh. I mean we already have it so what's that for?
>more story content for units that don't have one
Reminded that Ellen literally only appeared to buy fried spiders.
>relic sets
Wonder where they'll add that.
>more passive skills like free scrolls when enchanting
Some of them are garbage so yeah.
I'll clap when I see it.

>>1528782
>they are adding more floors for portrait
WHO ASKED FOR THIS??

>>1528788
it's a mode that will get constant updates anon, they are polishing it to be an even more meaningful endgame mode; he is doubling down in it's difficulty. I actually respect this a lot.
It's also not the only thing they are doing; either go and read it by yourself or wait for an official translation in 6 or 9 hours from now

>>1528814
i'd be fine with it if they 4x'd the rewards + shop, and made it a monthly thing instead of weekly

I dunno how it is in Korea but I play gachas instead of MMOs because Im a wagieslave, not a NEET who can turn the MMO into my job

>>1528814
It has like what 8 different effects with most of them being useless. It definitely needs more polish.

>adding more floors instead of redesigning floor 10-27 with new enemy compositions and bosses instead of being the repeat of floor 1-9 with just more HP bloat.
These gooks are fucking hopeless.

So dual elements will be the URs of this game. No point on rolling for anyone else

>>1529331
Maybe, but as it is, you just use them for coverage and we don't know how rare they'll be. They don't interact with shields as well so you can't abuse that aspect too.

>>1529331
yeah I have Arin and Edward, both with their unique weapons, and they've been relegated to backup DPS for Tower of Trials which I can probably autobattle at this point since it wasn't balanced with halo/el cid stat sticks in mind

Anyone even bothered pulling for Violet? I got her in a 10 pull and her halo in 70 (which somehow doesn't reset the damn thing). Kitted her out with my Sarka's old stuff and she's pretty meh? Like her healing is pretty bad compared to Nayan.

Is new guild content up?

>>1530338
Yes, and it's fucking bullshit so you'll definitely need 2 other people.
>Bosses are scaled to level 100

>>1530329
They locked her important function behind F2 (create shield with her signature skill). Gonna paypig more.

>>1530350
I think I see the issue
>ATK scaling healer
And I put her on Crit gear...

>>1530339
Cool, I'll be online tonight if anyone else in Lummies will be on to try it out with me.

>>1530357
i think she's intended to be built with crit considering her signature weapon/halo/el cid all have crit

>>1530428
But her healing is based on her ATK though. Guess I'll wait until someone figures her out. Her skill does last nearly forever so at least she can just pop in and out like Xanthia.

They're bringing back the goddamm carriage event? Are you fucking kidding me man
These devs are retarded

>>1530513
Cope. It was well received.

>>1530513
They can just reuse it and it's whatever. I don't even fully do all the content in this game since it's usually pointless. I haven't even bothered with the Mutation one.

I don't think I can play this game much longer. Feels like I need to get everything to make some characters decent or usable at all. Some get a huge boost with extra fates. Then you need their signature weapons, halos and now Cids. It's too much to keep up as f2p/low spender.

let me back in lummies thanks

>>1530564
Optimising for what though? The game hands you out so much stuff that the only thing that you can't really auto is Thierry and that's autism. Even Tower is a joke now.

>>1530567
Guild content and portrait are hard. I imagine hell mode and raids will be similar. Trying to prepare for it but these relic rolls and all the new stuff you have to level up are draining my sanity. I fear the next update will add more gacha gear.

they are adding so much more extra places with more income, it's balancing everything around. The new battlepass is so fucking good now, even the free one hands you 5 times (literally) the amount of items it gave before. The Tower/Abyss has more than doubled the amount of starstones you could get from it, etc, etc.
And they are permanent content. Mutated Zones rotates every 3 days and every time it resets it's trophies. The new Guild event resets weekly. Thierry too. And on, and on.
Yeah, it demands commitment, but if you do? You are rewarded for your perseverance. If you enjoy the game (like I do) it's more than great. The game is fair.

>>1530566
Got you in

Also to all Lummiesfags since the new guild content apparently needs coordination I've created a discord server for us, invite is in the in-game bulletin and guild chat. Joining isn't mandatory but if you're going to be doing the new content then I'd recommend joining so it'll be easier to set up groups.

guys set up a time for weekend im a wagie

ill look at discord later

In light of Veda's revenue staying decent at 900k last month, I ended up F6R6ing Violet.

>>1530732
Isn't there a new one?

>>1530732
Yeah, this game is doing fairly well for the niche it's in. It's still doing better than Brown Dust 2 did revenue wise in the same timeframe and it's set to have even more content than that game in the near future. If the devs keep this up, I can see Astra joining the high end players with enough polish and word of mouth. We were playing an alpha at the start, and now we are in beta. Full release should start at season 2.

>>1530747
>Doing better than BD2
Is it really? I don't believe that.

>>1530747
I wouldn't be that optimistic. BD2 got a new wave of players with the Mushoku Tensei collab and a generous amount of gibs. They also started to hyper fixate more on the coom which attracted the coomer crowd. I don't see Veda getting any noteworthy collabs outside of KPop maybe and I don't think gibs will be enough - they need to consolidate the entire early and mid game so that new players can catch up faster in my opinion.

Above all while this game does have attractive female characters they will really need to go further on the coom. It's in the middle of summer and yet we have no summer banner/skins to help attract people.

>>1530748
Compare the early charts anon. A comeback is in the realm of possible.
>>1530751
>i don't see
YOU don't see, do you factually know anything about it? For all we know their connections could reach far larger than we think as collaborations are a matter of social links more than anything else, and the showbiz? Full of them.
>the koom!
now this is peak retardation, that isn't what will "save" this game at all; a huge part of this game's population are women; I see Sarka fangirls everywhere in twitter and facebook, and some of them whale really hard. "le coom" path never guarantees anything at all, otherwise countless porn gacha would be running to the top of the charts every month. Hell, this month's gacha revenue second place is Fujo gacha.

>>1530436
her healing is based on damage done, not ATK

best relic set for Death Crown?

>>1531447
I'm using Vagabond, it's the melee auto attack set which boosts it by 20%. I can't really see anything else that's worth it. His skills and Ultimate take too long to make good use of the other sets.

>>1531491
He builds ult really fast actually.

>>1531559
Maybe it's because he has no Veda regen on him but his attacks feel too slow to build up.

>>1531491
How wrong are you playing him? I have his signature up most of the time. I get it faster than his normal skill at times.

>been so fucking long for content I can't auto that I'm absolute dogshit on the fucking content that I was hodling my limeades for
I ate one and it was glorious. We finally got to 3/7

Managed another 7/7 run with Lummiesbros today
Earth prisoner is the most annoying to kill because Veleno is dogshit at procing the poison shield fast enough so that Deathcrown can burst it down with fire damage.
I think this mode really needs to reward you in some way for killing the bosses faster because it seems like killing them early doesn't add seconds to the auto-timer for when the next boss spawns.

Is there a way to search for specific guilds? Looks like the search only works for the current displayed guilds making it worthless.

Getting real tired of the delusional hopeshill spam handwaving all criticism. Utterly embarrassing. This game will never be big or a household name and that’s okay. Why do retards want everything to be popular?

I don't care for the Guild content but Thierry is just a hassle to farm. Resetting to Floor 0 and needing to climb back up for a chance to see an accessory that you want is bad.

>>1536642
>SRPG isn't exactly a popular genre in the first place, so people who bothered enough to try out that game would have high chance to stick around.
the same could have been said about Astra if we didn't enter what was essentially maintenance mode for half the year
Art is great, combat is fun and as much I enjoyed DFO's more combo-oriented spam gameplay, DFO is too dated to get back into
I like the bullet hell that I have to tryhard in with Portrait though more variety and streamlining is needed because it's too grindy

As much as I like how much cleaner and more polished (+ MUCH MORE story content) that Sword of Convallaria has right now, I still enjoy the gameplay in Astra more
gonna be tryharding in Portrait again and see if i can do a faster clear than 2h 50m this week, though again I wish this was 4x rewards and once monthly instead

no more monthlies for me though, have enough for whatever Blood DPS we'll get eventually and that's it. Aurora is enough to steamroll through the entire Portrait and ignore element

>>1536755
Aside from completely revamping her kits, or changing her role and element, the only way I could see them making Rebecca useful for any real contents is having HP shields as part of her kit, and knowing these gooks they probably locks that shit behind at least F2.

faster clear this weak with 2h 13m clear. First clear rewards didn't reset this week though so rewards were meh, might skip next week

I changed my mind,on Charlotte, it's shit, you shouldnt get hit more than Thanatos shield in the first place. The revised priority is:

>Thanatos
Top priority for survivability

>Aeasa
>Ira
Top priority for DPS, but prioritize Thanatos first if you have the choice

>Akasha
>Borte Crown
Next priority for DPS, Akasha also helps for survivability because it increases movement speed. I assume you have support units with reduce-veda-consumption to spam Signature skills often (Sorin can keep hers up VERY often)

Dump stats, good to rush lvl 1 early on at least (most benefit from 1 level-up)
>Rhynara
>Abagnale Lanclen
this one is really helpful for clearing out mobs but low priority for the boss unit itself so it's a dump stat
>Nightwalker
Don't go past lvl 10 for nightwalker since you'll already proc it all the time at that point (cooldown stays the same at higher levels)
>Barry Allen
don't go past lvl 5 or so, for same reason as above, no point

holy shit i went from rank 50 to rank 273 in the same day that's the worst fall I've ever gotten in just 12 hours

>>1538238
She's okay but if you have Sarka built already you can skip her. She more or less does slightly less damage than him but can make shields and heal.

>>1538238
Need F2 to be actually useful since she can create shield with her signature skill, otherwise you get a DPS that can heal as bonus.

>>1538238
Skip, Sarka does more than enough and her healing isn't so valuable when Sorin/Saeya exist.

it's really fun, before it got bloated and everyone including support units got screen-wide nukes, also it did that apocalpyse/cataclysm shit that all MMOs were doing as well so the progression got weird. Iit also did events where you skipped to max level basically which was kinda dumb, like it just disregarded the progression and that fun

I'd play DFO2 and hope it just starts fresh with a better focus on story stages AND not fucking it over with another apocalypse/catacylsm garbage that all MMOs back then had a hard-on for for some reason, even Ragnarok Online literally ruined Morroco and half the maps just for a new raid boss, never mind all the renewal shit doing the same thing in making everyone a nuke

>No one liked the garbage guild shit they just added.
Just make them soloable, add a score system or something, or at least turn those bosses into a guild wide raid so everyone can contribute their effort to whittle down their HP like any fucking guild bosses in every kusoge outthere, at least you don't have to wait for your fuckbuddies to show up just to have a chance to clear it, this isn't a fucking MMO.

>>1539061
Seems to be the lightning mages friend.
>>1539074
They keep making the game more MMO-like with every update, despite that being the biggest thing that will fuck the game over.

>>1539088
I think they are very aware of the problems but still decided to fast forward these updates to pad their contents and fix them later to gain some good boy point from the playerbase. Look at how quickly they are trying to solve the problem with the Thierry mode, that how it should have been at the beginning.

>>1539074
This will most likely become more of a MMO than a traditional gacha. It's the path they have chosen. If you don't like it, just quit already. There are countless kusoge gachas out there for you.

>>1539113
They already buckled up and added ton of skip shit in the upcoming update, I don't know where you get such unfound confident from.

>>1539117
this doesn't have anything to do with skipping? How do you reach that conclusion? The upcoming golden city raid is made with multiplayer in mind. Then comes the huge raid with the big knight that will also be multiplayer, and then comes Hell mode dungeons that will 100% need a full party to beat. All meaningful future updates are made with multiplayer as their big focus. Most korean MMO's end up having their endgame like this, and since the start the director has wanted to go in that path.

>>1539119
I don't think you understand the different between having multiplayer contents that you can do with everyone else and having contents that require specific people to online at the same time to do.
But whatever. just keep going on with that narrative if you believe it so.

>>1539121
Are you a fucking idiot? You are going to need specific people online in order to beat the new raids (with a big "S" here; there will be multiple ones) and hell dungeons (S) The future of the game will depend on you having friends or a guild, and this is good. FUCK the autistic playerbase desperately wanting to dumb down this game to one of their skip simulator kusoges because they cannot talk to other people. "B-but the search function!" Nah, complete waste of resources at this point; go away and ask people directly like we did decades ago or get in a fucking guild already and learn to have a conversation.

>>1539124
I don't want the game dumbed down, I want them to stop locking all the useful shit to whales (seriously, why can't I level up Halos and El Cids without pulling?) and not ask me to play 2+ hours a day just to keep up.

If the new blood character is free blood shields for Aurora then I may think more deeply about it...

>>1539127
is this you bwo? I miss you bwo...
Golden City Raid is next; if you ever whaled for anything, this should be time for it to shine it's worth.

>>1539126
What locking? I have been able to lvl up all my halos and cids I use to lvl 40-60 without paying a dollar yet. And do I need all that extra power? Not at all. I can clear all 27 floors of portrait and completed the guild raid already several times already.
What they are doing is cutting the daily keep up by a lot. Though, you know what? I actually enjoy being able to play Astra more than 10 minutes a day like countless other gacha. I feel like I'm playing a videogame that I enjoy instead of something that automatically collect gifs and png's monthly.

>>1539131
honestly i find it hard to trigger aurora's shield in portrait of thierry before i get elemental overload, not that it never happens but only if I've set everything up properly to fully unload DPS without dying (i.e. drop it down to 1 mob only, and have albert's statue summoned, thanatos shield active) BUT at that point I'll have elemental overload ready as well anyways

>>1539141
Just because you like to waste your time on useless shit doesn't mean everybody else does too.

Fuck, I had no idea you could farm challenge counts for portrait by using one man teams. That will help a lot to not totally brick myself at least.
Also in the whole EU server I managed to find like one guild that could complete the guild event...

Is DFO a MMO or a gacha?

>>1541151
Not really an MMO but grouped in together with it. And earlier MMOs started the gacha shit but probably not what you are thinking of with "gacha" unless you mean DFO's fatigue system

it's basically a lobby beat-em-up game.
overworld town where you can see other players, and you can party up into dungeon stages (like 5-10 rooms sometimes RNG
where boss will be), non-whale runs would typically be 5-10 minutes per dungeon

Astra feels like it's trying to be DFO 1.5 or something which is probably how it found some (short-lived) success, but it tried being both an MMO and gacha and obviously turned away both sides lmao

>>1541435
It started off like a gacha but the KR MMO brainrot has seeped in. All these extra time wasting modes to try and increase player time count is a little silly.

>>1541866
yeah I legtimately just use a macro everyday for dailies (including automating the pvp autobattler) because I can't sweep
Like maybe it's too much to ask for pvp autobattle skips like Blue Archive's since each battle lasts like 20 sec anyways (but I give it 1-2min for my macro just so it doesn't mess up)
But the regular dailies I dunno, maybe they will fix it soon so I can do it on my phone without having to autobattle and overheat my phone+battery (my phone is new too) just for dailies

I'm going to keep playing but the next step is eventualyl only log in once a week and probablty just quit after that lmao

Should have changed Rebecca into blood DPS, at least they could fool people for another month.

Yeah that's pretty much where I'm at, except I've actually been using Sansar over Aurora. Sansar/DC/Gabi/Sorin will likely be my forever team.
>>1545242
You'll get Rebecca as a Fire healer and you'll like it.

bye bye my $100 i dolphin'd into this game

It sucks because I still like the gameplay in veda better than the other gacha I'm playing right now
maybe it's time to just go back to real games

>>1545611
I completely agree, the gameplay is very fun despite its simplicity. If they had made the bosses have new mechanics in Portrait I think the game mode would've been really fun, but instead they said "fuck it they have way more health and we're spamming adds at you".

Hey, is the Freezing Prospect sword any good on anyone or does it get mugged by literally everything else? It just dropped for me and I dont know what to do with it. I do have Baphomera already.

>>1544419
what in the fuck is that, they literally misplaced every feature on her face
where's that dickriding coper that was in here a while ago how is he reacting to this
did he rope yet god that would be so fucking funny

>>1545846
It's better than Baphomera for DPSing provided you aren't having issues with low damage content like tower. In high end content you might as well use it for the damage boost since the Bap shield isn't saving you anyways.

>bunch of artists were let go
>Art quality took a nose dive with Gabi

It's actually over. Same fate of Dragon Blaze. Kept alive by a skeleton crew, rapid and excessive power creep, gacha bloat. It's amazing how the director made the exact same mistakes again.

i need DFO2 to come out NOW!

I still enjoy 2d gameplay but this game's direction is doomed

in case anyone needs their fix of a sidescroller action game, just hope this comes out before you die

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOczDqh8ZNM

>>1546364
wtf is this DFO2? looks cool

>>1544419
>>1544884
All they had to do was give her the loli model with the same outfit and it would have been kino.

In fact, she looks like an aged up loli which is probably why its so off putting. Probably was supposed to be a loli but chickened out of dressing a loli in anything but burka.

>>1541435
so DFO is not even a proper MMO with an over world like other MMOs, why is it making so fucking much money? It's got with 850 million players but the cheap graphics look like they're from decades ago. Still, pulling in 800 hundred million dollars a month? That's fucking insane.

>>1546629
The strict definition of MMO has become loose in recent times, but I'd still consider it an MMO. Similar to Maplestory, the game has a ton of people who play it due to nostalgia/sunk cost. I will say DFO has a ton of really cool ideas, but the nickel and diming was too much for me to stick around for too long. FFS, you can't even have your characters look like their splash art without buying some limited edition costume bundle bullshit. It heavily turned me off from the game.

She has pretty good thighs. And honestly her face looks better in game at least compared to the splash set. But we could have gotten a much better character with roughly the same design for sure.
Also what's the source about the artist getting fired? Seems like it's probably blind speculation to me because of the awful splash art.

>>1546735
I honestly think so. In game she at least doesn't look out of place with the other characters the same way her splash art makes her look.

Apparently Gabi seems to be quite OP, which is not really surprising at all...

>>1546752
That's gonna be the norm from now on. Just like Dragon Blaze, powercreep every update.

>>1546781
It's not the powercreep every update thing, let's not be overly negative now for no reason, it's not like we had any other blood character since launch. And plenty of characters have released that haven't powercrept anyone.
It's just that they seem to purposely make unpopular characters quite powerful, which shouldn't really be surprising I guess.

The more I look at Gabi the more I want to pull for her, what's wrong with me?

>>1546781
Violet's utter trash though and I regret pulling her. it's been a while since we've gotten another DPS when the last one was like what, Ellen?
>>1546745
>>1546830
She's actually really cute and her splash her gave her injustice. She's bouncing around when you move and does the retard "arms outstretched" run when you sprint.

>>1546895
This, her character has as much care put into her as any, perhaps even more since most characters don't really have such a unique walking and running animation.
If anything this should be a lesson about how important splash art is in gacha. It completely ruined the first impression of her for most people.

Double-sided Power suddenly became quite decent as a weapon with portrait being a thing. It's not like you are going to be dodging any attacks with the amount of mobs there.

I rolled for Gabby

>>1546895
She also has visible notes while skipping around, it's very cute.
>>1546927
I think it's better than Gabi's sig DESU. Staying on field for lengthy periods on a not-tank makes little sense unless the boss is stunned, and you can stack it super fast if you intentionally take hits from the spammed trash packs.

>Gabi splash art releases
>Doom and gloom for a couple of days
>Gabi actually release
>People actually find her fun and cute
They really need to redo that splash art

>>1547174
Honestly, someone really took a look at that and said yep. She's pretty fun all things considered and I don't feel too bad benching my F3 Eliyar for her.

>>1547174
Well it's that and them adding even more gacha. That being said at least they're making (some) slight step forwards.

>>1546629
it's fun as fuck, if you think the 2D action of Veda is still enjoyable, then imagine if you had a bunch of other skills and attacks to actually combo with

It's just really dated and bloated now I don't have any desire to go back to (old) DFO

>LOST 50/50
>81/90
OK bye

>210 pulls
>F0 R0 blood gremlin only
wow that was painful

Veleno feels really strong with the DoT buffs
will try Atterisee later

Yeah this is it for me. It's not the gacha gear that bothers me so much the sheer amount of RNG shit. We alreardy had random substats, random enchants, and random values on those subtstats. Now add relic engraving on that, and another gear as well

You'll never be done maxing out a single unit. It's a grind forever. Am I playing a gacha or an MMORPG?

>>1547343
Even MMO doesn't have this absurd "new gear gacha for you to roll and reequip your whole rosters again" every month like how this game is doing.
The stat bloat for the new mode is also fucking insane, if you are f2p or low spender you are stuck with the 2 easiest difficulty level, Nightmare and hell are impossible to clear unless you are megawhales.

This looks so retarded. Can you even hide them?
Probably the worst addition as of now honestly. El Cid and halos at least offer extra customizability and not JUST raw stats. While also not ruining the aesthetic too much. This just looks like you stuck a cheap jpg on the weapon.

>>1547584
They really don't know what to do with this game and it's sad to see them keep ruining the game aesthetic with these awful korean MMO attachments. Can't wait for next dumbass shit like sunglasses and whatnot to make their debut.

>>1547592
That's probably the last addition, at least for a while, considering the roadmap

Maybe I should take a break till season 2 or something. Watched a nip streamer spent 5 minutes whacking a hell boss in golden city and didn't even do enough damage to scratch 1/10 of his HP bar before he gave up, I honestly don't expect anything fun with the hell mode boss battles they are adding.

Is Gabi from the same tribe as Eliyar or something, they basically dress the exact same way.
Also, damn that bottom heavy gremlin sure is powerful. She could probably even work as a sub DPS to Eliyar thanks to her ult not requiring her to be on the field.

>>1547607
Considering hell mode bosses are advertised are almost unbeatable alone, they are probably going to be huge bullet sponges. If you really want to take a break, probably the best time would be right about now if you don't feel any fomo for any kind of one time rewards.
Until S2, nothing really interesting seems to be happening.

>>1547594
you just know they're waiting to add wings and auras

well they prob just forgot to add a hide option for the weapon thing

Ok I think I get portrait now. The First Clear rewards reset after every big patch when the elements get changed. Just clear it once a month along with Tower of Trials

Once weekly clear are just for MMO junkies

p.s. lummies
the discord invite link in guild notice is expired. I dunno if I need to join for this treasure chest or if I can get carried again like last even lmao but just in case

I am honestly having way too much fun just running around with Gabi in the city hub.

>>1547584
yes, you can hide them anon

it looks bad in most of the weapons, but in some it kinda looks good actually; it's all a matter of mix and matching

>>1547607
the max difficulty clearly states that you will need perfect characters with perfect rolls and weapons in order to tackle them. You are just hurting yourself taking upon that challenge without the requirements.

>>1547684
It frankly just looks bad throughout, I managed to get 3 leggos and all of them I can't really use but I see people on the hub with them and they look fuck ugly. Honestly all of the additional accessories look horrible. Not even tacky Korean MMO accessory horrible, just horrible.
>>1547640
They should completely rework portrait or at least make you jump from one dungeon to another instead of being brought to that board. I tried to power through 5 floors and it was awful. I can auto it with no issue but needing to tend to it a lot is bad.

>>1547743
El cids and halos were honestly cool. El cids especially since they don't affect appearance but the halos didn't look awful either. This new ones are pretty bad all around though. Not only do they look awful, they also don't do anything interesting like El cids and halos. They are just pure stats. At least you can hide them I guess.

>>1547791
they all have unique passives anon

>>1547791
They have unique passives though and arguably weapon tier in how broken they are. I guess I just don't like the Light Halos since they look like yellow balloons. Blood and Lightning looks alright.

it was pretty cute, makes me feel that people are still playing this ded game

it gives me some hope that maybe the devs will surprise us with a steady stream of story (or even just one-off event stories now and then) from October onwards. lol.

>>1548046
That's cool. The recent release was pretty nice though, while short it did give a quick glance over the other characters and did progress the story somewhat. But then they release that monstrosity that is the weapon accessory and it's just taking a step back.

>>1548048
One step forward, five steps back has been their philosophy on every patch except for Deathcrowns where they took two steps forward before tripping and falling face first when they decided to make him free for a limited time. Perfect opportunity to add a beginner's 7 day event like other gachas where you get assigned a ton of tasks and the final reward is beating Edward for a free DC.

it's impressive this game is still pulling some revenue given that there's been no story updates for so long, or even more of those event stories like Veleno or Aurora's little stories
That's pretty much the expectation from any gacha every 4-6 weeks or sooner in its first year

I'll try not to have high expectations for any sudden shifts in direction in October but pls Kim surprise me

**though I guess we did get some cutscenes from Portrait and Golden City

>>1548066

>>1548089
>hiring new artists
New cope, they fired the old artists because they were the ones responsible for Gabi's awful splash art

>>1548089
yeah the saving grace is that global NA/EU "servers" aren't really separate from KR/CN, it's all in the same client so we'll just be carried by them or merge eventually

My cope is that it doesn't really matter whether I'm playing with only 500-1000 players in a server vs 50,000+, as long as the game survives, it still satisfies that slow-burn stat progression i want from a gacha. I can pretend this is an MMO private server or something

RIP to the anons in EU server, is /akovg/ still even alive or what

You only open one chest for the guild event right? Does it matter if you are even there for the fight or can you just pick it up after?

As much as I need a poison DPS, I'm not excited about having to farm poison relics, Halo, El Cid, PoT accessories, and then relic enhancement on top of that. Never mind having enough pulls for Veleno's weapon as well not just her. Oh and maxing out the skills too

Her kit is more geared towards support. If you have F6 Capecchi he's probably better suited to being a Poison DPS over her.

>>1553313
I could do that, the Golden City fights do give a reason for the 4* units now. Can't have 4x Velenos or whatever after all

Bigger problem for now is my lack of a poison 5* halo. Hopefully a Veleno rerun would have haloes/el cid that are compatible with the other 2 poison units

and then the devs proceeded to do fuck all with the game for the next 5 months
yeah

Shit I was right

>>1560742
They delayed season 2 for a month so either we are getting another character or it's a whole dead month after this patch.

odds are the game goes under before next season

>>1560894
If anything S2 is when the suits decide if this game can last for another year or it's time to pull the plug.

>>1560894
It's hilarious how easily they could've made this a middling income game, but I guess the KRMMO brainrot is just too ingrained into their society to even consider anything else.

>>1561224
Even without the added KRMMO grind, these gooks are way too greedy with the gacha dopamine, people would simply quit after they got tired with how much shit they have to roll for a new character to actually be usable.

>>1561249
KRMMOs have had gachas in their system for years. MapleStory basically pioneered it. It's not just terrible RNG gearing and infinite grind.

Release was so bad the saving grace is maybe they won't be afraid to take drastic measures with S2
Either EOS so I can move on, or just revamp the entire game and turn it into a proper gacha not a fucking MMO

Gacha gear is too late to revert but you can just make currency farmable with stamina in a reasonable manner without limit. Also tone down the fucking RNG stat garbage because it just discourages people to pull for new units. You could revert it easily if you give people other shit to use stamina on like currency for gacha gear. Buying the currency with gems would just be whalebait in the same manner as buying purple enchant scrolls or any other in-game shit with gems

I really wouldn't mind an EOS announcement. I'm a retard who somehow enjoys this garbage game more than other new gachas I played recently, combined with a mild gambling addiction, so I can't move on from this garbage until I'm really tired or they announce EOS
Gachas keep me from gambling 5-figs or more in higher stake shit like options or pennyscams, well actually I still gamble in those but gachas help me minimize it while keeping the rest in index funds

also the garbage on doubling down on the stupid pvp arena grinding
It could easily have been a decent part of the game for fun if it wasn't linked with autoclicker grinding, even a no-rewards ELO-matchmaking leaderboard would have been enticing whalebait. Or at worst, just a mode to invite people to pvp as a novelty but no fucking grinding for FOMO rewards
Needless to say I haven't been renewing my monthlies anymore. I might buy the battlepass again if S2 changes thing but lmao

>>1560664
is this every day?

I got the chest from the guild, where it is located and how do I open it?

>>1561629
Same place you set up your assist/display character, should be the bottom tab.

Is Gabi's halo any good? I already have the basic blood halo but I am starting to accumulate a lot of halo currency and don't even have any xp mats to level my current halos above level 60

>>1562107
It's good, but not needed. It's about the same power as Earth girls halo, and slightly worse than Sorin's.

>>1562118
Damn, I also somehow doubt Rebecca's halo will be any good. I am not sure if I should pull for Gabi's or not at this point.

The devs really have no idea what they are doing in so many ways.
Who's bright idea was to release Rebecca as a fire tank when we so recently got deathcrown and another 4* fire tank. Especially when she used to be a support...

>>1563260
Rebecca got released?

>>1563260
Rebecca is probably their earliest shilled character and the last to be released so it tracks. Plus DC isn't a fire tank, he's dark so water doesn't even hit him for super effective.

>>1563436
Ah yes, he isn't a fire tank, he is better than any fire tank, my bad

Probably won't get an answer in time, but how is Gabi's El cid?

>>1565570
Both her halo and el cid are good and worth it since she's basically mandatory on Deathcrown teams anyway. That being said, the 5* options are fine enough if you have them.

>>1565596
>Both her halo and el cid are good and worth it since she's basically mandatory on Deathcrown teams anyway. That being said, the 5* options are fine enough if you have them.
I have the halo 5* option but not the El cid. And unfortunately although I have plenty of halo currency I can't say the same for the El cid one. We didn't even get an El cid selector I doubt I will get one anytime soon so I will probably bite the bullet and pull for her el cid. It bothers me a bit since I am not sure if "wound aggregation" will be a thing for other blood characters but I need to progress at portrait and I may as well see this as an investment for that.

Is the craftable weapon for Rebecca good for her? Seems on theme at least

This game looks like dragon's crown and muramasa. Anything more like it?

>SKIP FUNCTION
WE ARE SO BACK BWOS

It's a good thing the devs know to be generous, I doubt I would still be playing if that wasn't the case

>>1566734
Should have at least been for every adventure stage. This shit is only for the pigs/spider and dailies. And it doesn't even actually complete the stage in the dailies, just the missions themselves.

Are any of the new halos/El cids any good?

Is this game dead?

>>1567631
not yet
dying, sure, but not quite dead

>>1567635
But why? I want a vanillaware-like to succeed

>>1567640
Because the devs are retarded who keep making dumbass decisions and then spend months to fix them..
Whoever are still playing this game is either holding out for S2 to see if they could get their shit together or they are still there because of sunk cost.

>>1567640
Rather than doing the smart/sensible thing of just copying other gacha accurately, they instead decided to copy the worst aspects of Hoyo and KRMMOs instead.

loving this update. Their decision to spend more time polishing the experience instead of just throwing up mediocre content was a good one. As always the reactionary community was retarded for hating it.

>>1569164

>>1569164
It's over, dude. The game is shit and dead. Just let it go.

>>1567631
yes but if you're f2p and have a gambling addiction and just want to roll, then it's still fun now that it's finally a login simulator, even Portrait can be skipped now (can collect l2/3 of the rewards with a skip every week)
devs are desperate so theyre showering everyone with gems and currency for all the shitty different gacha gears, now you can roll for 5 different slot machines regularly instead of only 1 in a different better-planned game

just don't bother spending $$$, like seriously
There's no point getting a $5 monthly since it did not scale with the 5x gacha system. Seriously no point in getting +100 gems everyday when the devs are giving +500 gems daily plus other shit, and it's not even 6-month anniversary yet

>>1569287
It's not fair. I want a vanillaware gacha.

>>1569662
A lot of people did, that's why it made money the first couple of months. Then people realized the dev team is incompetent and left.

HURRY UP AND RERUN NEC AND XANTHIA'S BANNER ALREADY GUYS COME ON

The only reason I'm still going is to make my Nec & Xanthia as strong as possible and I want to get 6 copies of their weapon, halo and el shirt with all the currency they're giving out that I won't be using anywhere else

So what's the new tunic? It looks pretty cool at least, anyone unlocked it yet?

>>1571294
Do you have enough currency to get 6 copies of their weapon? It's a LOT of currency...

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone

This would have been really good if the second half that buffed crit worked for anyone that has sacred flame on (which could still be the case since the translation in this game has never been the best). Has anyone tested it at all?

>>1574538
Fire characters don't exist.
The substats are also way too defensive oriented. If you want the crit effect then I assume you are thinking of putting this on a DPS but you're better off just using the generic halo in that case.

>>1574539
Obviously the stats aren't good for a DPS. Which is why I was wondering whether the second half the ability would work on ANY character that has sacred flame (aka the active character). If that was the case then in theory that halo could buff the CR/CD of someone other than it's user, which would be really good and ideal for a support character.

>>1574548
It says "if the equipped target" implying it requires the halo to be equipped onto whoever has the sacred flame buff in order to receive the crit benefits.

>>1574551
The translation is so notoriously bad that "equipped target" could very well be referencing sacred flame and not the halo itself.
Most likely you are right though, but you never know. Which is why I was wondering if anyone tested it.

How (You) focused is this game? Need to know before I select my character.

>>1574581
ultimately it doesn't matter what appearance you pick so just choose whoever you'd like or pick the default red-head if you want to feel like you're picking the canon protagonist

>>1574589
No, I meant it in the "characters are constantly sucking your dick or getting the hots for you" way.

>>1574581
>>1574589
You should pick long white hair on the standard male protagonist so you can do a reverse Griffith at the end of the story

>>1574593
Nec is a hot big tiddy witch who is obsessed over her dead lover and wants to bring him back to life.
Vesti once met a boy in her past and fell in love with him and is on a journey to search for him.
Aurora raised Ellen and the two share a teacher-student type of relationship, highly implied that Ellen cherishes her.

There are a few characters who lean towards being for (You) like Sorin but ultimately there is shipshit in this game.

>>1574595
No.
>>1574597
Thanks, I really liked the default female, so she shall be my waifu.

My wife

was gonna give the game a try
anything I need to know as a new player?

>>1576813
You're not a new player.

How early do they usually announce upcoming banners? I am constantly waiting for a development note to see what we are getting until S2 drops and they haven't said much so far. The only thing they have shared so far has been about the new equipment preset mechanic, which is a cool qol feature but doesn't exactly excite me.

like literally 1-2 days before the current banner ends, it's stupid but it's also understandable theres no point trying to build hype at this point

how do i stop playing and ignore sunk cost

>>1578024
It's gonna happen naturally when you find something else you are interested in and have to drop it to make time for it

Uninstalled in the Golden City update. Came back to see how its doing but it looks even more dead than before. Sad.

>>1578552
We're just waiting for the Season 2 update at this point

>>1578552
>>1578698
>We're just waiting for the Season 2 update at this point
Basically this. S2 was supposed to come early October so things are kinda slow now that it was delayed. Especially since the devs seem to be unable to understand that they should announce new content at least one week before release to build hype and keep interest instead of doing so 2 days before.

Guys, I can't beat the lighting guy in the golden city tutorial. I don't have an earth DPS or an earth 5* for the fact other than the lion fag. And not being able to give the boss a new weakness like every other enemy outside of Golden city doesn't help at all.

>>1578743
ok cool, it doesn't really matter
