Not really. Gameplay is pretty much turn based. But there's a unit training aspect to the game. Kinda like Fire Emblem Three Houses but turn based instead of SRPG.

It's both and a bit more.
A terrible chimera that tried to combine several games.

If they wanted to make uma but fighting they should be making them actually fight like what Virtual Circle's trying to do

Star savior is not comparable to Uma in general. Also it's clearly trying to be optimized for mobile like HSR since it wants to take a chunk in HSR's jp sales (it wont obviously).

It's better than star rail. I've been following bside for years, you don't know shit. They are going to fuck the game up because bside fucks everything up but the gameplay mechanics aren't going to be why. But I'm happy you found another outlet for your normalfag rage lil mihoyo buddy.

Someone should tell their marketing team what a waste of resources that is.
>>
>>1886603
That's the official reason it was delayed, they didn't start working on the dub soon enough.
>>
>>1886614
that’s retarded. just release the game and add it in an update later.
>>
>>1886622
We tried to tell them that but they don't understand english so I doubt the message got through.

No, just remember someone linking an arca post a while back saying that was the reason. Who knows, point is we lost.

Eh, they troll all the time so i'll take it with a grain of salt.
There'll be livestream soon so we might get some info
>>
>>1886628
You shouldn't say "official" then. The likely reason is they're accommodating other languages than English, and that's the reason why it's taking so long. I just hope it releases within this year.

news on global launch and pre-registration on next week’s stream. lowering pull cost is nice, would be funny if stella sora shitstorm was what made them lower it.
>>
>>1887412
>stella sora
>He fell for the manufactured dramabait from obvious free2poors
Its got enough freebies to pull pities as much as the average gacha if youre not an impulsefag
>>
>>1887414
i didn’t had a problem with the gacha in stella sora, stopped playing because there wasn’t enough to do besides spam ascension and hoping rng is on my side.
>>
>>1887414
>Its got enough freebies to pull pities as much as the average gacha
Lol. Lmao even. Even Genshin is more generous than SS.
>>
>>1887435
Thats an over exaggeration right? Genshit doesnt even have any notable freebies, let alone currency that lets you respect your time
>>
>>1887412
>stella sora
People wouldn't be mad if it's the intended amount.
>>
I simply won't trust anyone who claim x gacha is generous until the honeymoon phase is over and you stop getting frontload rewards from campaign and level up bonus. That's when the real game begins.
>>
when is this up hyungskis?
>>
>>1887435
Genshin only works because USUALLY it's one banner per 6 weeks. Even then it's extremely aggressive at anti shill, where if you don't have dev intended stuff you will really fucking suffer. So 60 pulls per patch ain't enough to get you everything regardless.

Credit where credit is due: Stella Sora's Earth team (0 limited chars) can deal with anything.. though it might've not been intended. But game is young. Genshin wasn't this shit early on either.

If Stella Sora keeps a 3 weeks per banner schedule, around 60 pulls/month is the bare mininum.
>>
i thought this is Uma ripoff but its actually HSR?

Tomorrow for gooks, who knows for the rest of the world. bside took a year to bring counterside global.
>>
>>1886614
They delayed the fucking game and essentially killed its chance to be relevant in the west trying to...appeal to the west? What the fuck?
>>
>>1887755
Bside isn't known for being smart. Now watch them cut the dub support after 6 months.
>>
>>1887515
we’ll find out next week
>>
>can't find it on third-party app stores
Eh?
>>
>>1887755
They've run two maintenances during the peak day one JP and KR hours, currently a 3 hour maintenance. Bside shooting themselves in the foot once again.
>>1888255
I managed to get find it on taptap, but the game doesn't let you in unless it's downloaded from google play.
>>
>>1888385
Are you using phone? What kind of phone are you using? Because you need to get ready for the most unoptimized game experience you'll ever get.
Another note, there's a bug with character Trish where she'll be automatically converted to shard when you get her in gacha.

Grim I don't want to play counter side again just to understand the story. Honkai keep throwing dumb references of their old game as well instead of being something on their own.

>Grim I don't want to play counter side again just to understand the story
They said they are making it so you don't have to have played Counterside, whatever you need to know will be explained in SS.
>>
So I actually wonder what they'll do for global considering everywhere else got it today. Releasing it like within a month of Asia launch sounds dumb, are they just gonna hyper accelerate for a month to get global caught up? On the flip side I don't think anyone will really care about the game anymore if it releases into next year, unless it ends up being really good or something.
>>
>>1889082
They will make it catch up in a few months. It's no biggie. Also Global releasing later is not a dealbreaker as you might think since it's another Big Event that people will look up to that they can capitalize on and promote the game again for more visibility.
Specially since they will likely be sponsoring a bunch of big name Vtubers and stuff and ride on the big Umamusume community that grew on the west.
>>
>>1889082
>are they just gonna hyper accelerate for a month to get global caught up?
100% they'll do that. I think they'll release it in January 2026 at most.
>On the flip side I don't think anyone will really care about the game anymore if it releases into next year unless it ends up being really good or something.
Nah. This is just plain wrong. The thing about the late release date is that they’re most likely to speed up the late server time and risk getting them shafted.
>>
40 bucks for a ten pull is yikes
>>
>>1889641
Yeah, it’s sitting at a 2.0 on app store and complaints are about how expensive pulls are, requiring dupes to break level cap, too much loading, unnecessary special effects when interacting with menus that lags the game, and nothing special about gameplay.
>>
>>1889648
You need dupes to unlock the Live 2D which is fucking ridiculous.

so this is DOA?

Notice Regarding Future Improvement Plans for Star Savior
Dear Captains, thank you for always playing SS
This is Ryu Geumtae, Executive Producer of Star Savior.
First of all, regardless of the reason, I would like to deeply apologize as the person in charge of this project for failing to deliver sufficient enjoyment and satisfaction to you.
As mentioned in our previous apology notice, the entire development team and I are currently making large-scale improvements across the entire game based on feedback received from our Captains.
Although improvement efforts will continue, I would like to share the currently confirmed changes as early as possible through this developer note.
1. Increase in Bonus for Sacred Light Stone Products
The amount of Sacred Light Stones in paid bundles was calculated based on standard summons and new character pick-up packs planned for future updates.
However, excessively high rates were applied during the adjustment process, resulting in prices that felt overpriced and did not meet expectations.
We take full responsibility and will revise the values as follows:
● Current: Highest-tier pack 4,800 + 1,300 = 6,100 Stones
● After Change: Highest-tier pack 4,800 + 2,800 = 7,600 Stones
Lower-priced packs will also receive increased bonus amounts.
Players who have already purchased these packs will receive the difference in Stones.
Further details will be announced separately.
2. Changes to Arcpoints & Extra Moment Acquisition
Ark Points and Extra Moments were designed to convey the appeal of each Liberator through special high-quality interactions.
However, due to high difficulty, it has instead led to disappointment.
To correct this mistake, acquisition conditions will change as follows:
● Before:
○ Unlock viewing/lobby placement after 3 limit breaks of the same Savior
● After:
○ Viewing unlocked at Affinity Lv. 10
○ Lobby placement remains 3 limit breaks
Unlocked content will be viewable anytime from a dedicated menu.
>>
>>1890453
3. Lobby Placement for Main Story & Journey Illustrations
Players have requested the ability to collect and display story illustrations.
We apologize for not providing this sooner.
We will enable lobby placement for illustrations based on story completion and character affinity.
4. Account Reset Policy Changes
Previously, account resets were restricted for server management and anti-abuse reasons.
However, this caused major inconvenience.
Therefore:
● Reset time reduced:
~14 days ~5 minutes
5. Nickname Policy Changes
Nicknames were required to be unique due to global PvP design, but this reduced player freedom and increased reroll friction.
Changes:
● Nickname changes will use a Nickname Change Ticket
● Stones previously spent on name changes will be fully refunded
● All accounts receive one free ticket
● Duplicate nicknames allowed
6. Tutorial Policy Changes
The current tutorial is too long and affects pacing.
Changes:
● Simplified structure
● Skip feature available after conditions are met
7. Early Game Progression Redesign
Focus shifted too much toward idle mechanics instead of story and characters.
To restore narrative immersion:
● Guide players to Main Story EP0 after Journey tutorial
● Unlock Operations after EP1
● Relax story unlock conditions
● Add prompts to encourage story viewing
● Provide natural introduction to Journey content on first play
8. Reduced Requirements for Liberator Icons
Unlock conditions remain too strict even after earlier adjustments.
Changes:
● Before: Affinity Lv. 30
● After: Affinity Lv. 5
All players will also receive materials required to reach Affinity Lv. 30.
9. Incorrect Material Costs for R-Rank Arcana
We confirmed incorrect upgrade costs for Moonlight Water and Gold.
Fixes:
● Correct required values
● Refund excess materials spent
>>
>>1890454
10. Battle Experience Improvements
Players feel combat lacks strategic depth.
Planned adjustments:
● Nova Burst reduced cooldown + increased damage
● Reduce excessive cooldowns for certain liberators
● Various new mechanics to increase strategy
● Rework buffs/debuffs
● Strengthen Break Skills (reduced cooldown, stronger gimmicks, PvE-exclusive effects)
More details will be provided in patch notes.
11. Shortcut Menu Improvements
Menu layout is confusing and will be reorganized for better usability in an upcoming update.
[Implementation Schedule]
Changes will be applied starting this week through patch updates.
New feature additions may take longer, and updates become difficult mid-December, but we aim to apply all changes by January.
This is not the final iteration—we will continue improvements based on your feedback.
Thank you for continuing to support Star Saver despite the inconvenience.
Ryu Geumtae
Executive Producer, Star Savior

Maybe it's a good thing global is releasing later than jp/kr.
>>
>>1890460
Yeah, so we now know to never play this shit and ignore any and all news about it, and also to avoid anything done by this studio.
>>
>>1890453
>Lobby placement remains 3 limit breaks
So you still have to mega whale to be able to put the character you like in the lobby screen, what a shit show. Imagine saving currency to roll a character you were looking forward to, spending 200 rolls, and not being able to set it as a secretary. Is there even another gacha that does this?
>>1890455
>Battle Experience Improvements
So instead of actually making the gameplay feel good, they instead buffed every character to make the gameplay feel easy instead. Not only that, they introduced "PvE-exclusive effects", so their focus is still going to be PvP, as expected of a KR dev.

Imagine actually playing this shit for more than a couple of days and being hopeful that the dev will make the game good, despite how counterside turned out.

Stella Sora isn't generous but it's way better than Genshin if you are f2p, I'm f2p, I have every limited character so far and I still have 55k gems, the rate for SSR characters is way higher in SS and there's a Spark at 120 that doesn't count towards the 100% limited character pity at 160.

>>1891129
it's already miles better than any hoyoslop by virtue of not taking much time to invest into. currency economy doesnt really bring in the full picture of how shitty the game actually is

>>1891288
i just want a decent looking harem game that isnt flopping and thriving and this game blew it away, just how hard is that to ask
>>
>>1891290
Apparently asking them to give up chasing the female audience causes devs to think they can charge us double. And also cut corners on game design.

and a bunch of other stuff announced. They also made rerolling basically instant
>>
>>1891499
Too late lmao
>>
>>1891499
Definitely much better but isn't the guaranteed pity at 200 pulls? That's still way too high. A guaranteed copy at 100 rolls should be the bare minimum for a game demanding dupes.
>>
>>1891522
It works fine in nikke, if they give the same amount of rolls as that game gets you will get showered in dupes without much effort.
>>
>>1891616
Acquisition is fine but the big difference are skills being dupe locked while Nikke doesn't.

Do you live in some alternate reality where Korean isn't the home of p2w shit mechanics?
>>
>>1892522
I live in the reality where the previous game made by these devs tried none of that garbage, not even the original Origin update tried to be this scummy
>>
>>1892512
Well what I meant was I don't think anyone cared about those screens. They were way worse than the basic character. Except for a few pilgrims most were just static images with a single line of dialog. I never used any of them. The ones in SS are more like blue archive lobby screens. Which of course are given out for free. Bside is really going max jew this time. The problem is that only works if the game itself is good enough, they have shit gameplay and still think they can screw the customer.
>>

Was this global announcement stream the KR or JP stream earlier, or will there be a dedicated stream for us. If not then holy fuck this company sucks at marketing.
>>
>>1892590
They seem to assume that anyone who even has a single lick of interest in this game would already follow all their KR/JP twitter and youtube accounts, so no need to spend extra money for marketing.
>>
Didn't start on day one because I (mistakenly) hoped that the global release date would not be far off.
But they revealed that global launch is 3-4 months from now.
Is it too late to start now?
also, I find it a bit weird that they not only don't do simultaneous release for KR/JP server and Global server in the big 2025 but also did not announce the release date on global account
>>
>>1892867
The first few days were a massive disaster with bugs, emergency maint, shitty rate, no reroll and so on. If anything it's better to start now after they fixed most of the problem above.
>>
>>1892867
Yes. It's too late. You missed one SSR selector(including cosmic) if you start it now.
>>
>>1892867
Global is an afterthought, the revenue of the west is usually 25% of the total (with JP/KR/CN being a distribution of 20 to 30% each). Its clear they aren't confident that the game is going to do well in the west, or they don't think its going to be worth the investment, better to put all their efforts on the local version and when they have some extra time to spare after stabilizing they can do global.
>>
>>1892953
That's not true for all games and it's certainly not true for bside. Global made up a huge portion of cs profit. JP is market that has never mattered.
>>
>>1893031
That was because the whole publisher and server change from Nexon to Bside then global with JP server. Any game went through that shit will never recover.

Does the pity points in the limited banners carry over like in Nikke?
>>
>>1895439
I think the main problems are gameplay and optimization. Honestly I'm not expecting much from Korean for optimization issue and it's really hard to make something from broken parts than just create new thing altogether, so I don't think the gameplay can be "good" either. At least they acknowledge it though. ZZZ devs still won't acknowledge that they're making a boring button mashing game.
>>1895454
Yes. But be careful about Cosmic characters. They're usually work with different rules.

>>1895501
>Yes. But be careful about Cosmic characters. They're usually work with different rules.
What do you mean? If the banner is a cosmic character then the pity wouldn't carry over? So I guess it's safe for me not to use the pity I got in the bunny girl banners?

I think you know better than me about this. How does Nikke pilgrim banner works? Is normal banner pity can be used in pilgrim banner? Star Savior copy Nikke banner system to a T. So it should be the same. Though I think you should still only use your gacha currency in Cosmic banner.
>>
>>1895501
I already like the bits of the game I see from clips, I just didn't start immediately because apparently it was Day 1 WuWa/ToF level unplayable, which gets even worse since I'm on Android. As long as it's

>>1895514
Yeah I thought it was similar to NIkke but I can't be too sure. If it's exactly like Nikke then I guess I'm safe. Thanks bro.
>>
>>1895522
>So, is it?
Sadly, nope. It's worse. They've got great animation, but sadly the battle system sucks. The only limitation we have is cooldown and it's too fucking long. So you'll always want to use your Ulti then Skill, then forced to use Normal attack for at least 3 turns(non maxed skill will forced you to use it for 5 turns instead). They've acknowledge it and said that they will fix it, but I doubt it. On the other hand, I think the story and journey story is better.
TLDR; if you don't mind auto battler tier gameplay, then it's a good game.
>>1895528
Ur welcome. Unfortunately(or fortunately for us) they're flopping and I don't think they'll do another Korean moment. So I expect they won't stray from Nikke gacha system.

I think they'll pick the "generous and trust" route from now on. I just hope that they don't shaft Global, because it'll 100% make them dead in Global. Oh and also I hope that they'll fix every problem(app optimization and gameplay related) before releasing Global server, so that we'll be glad that this game release late so that we don't need to "beta test" it.

So they were able to reach google play rank 1 after all. That's surprising after all the fuckups at launch.

>>1895550
Every game, even slop, gets to rank 1 during their first month, its nothing special.

They are probably going to "fix" the currency problems, but theres no way they fix the gameplay, its just a bunch of different systems copied from other games thrown together without any cohesion or thought put into why they work

Maybe when it gets global server, this game doesn't generate enough shitposts and drama to catch their attention.
>>
Using konpeito (as the nips call it) as a way to time-gate progression is a bit annoying since you get so little of them compared to other upgrading resources
Most features are from other (mostly) gook games so if you have played them before, it's pretty easy to figure it out
Not that I blame them of course. while some retards might say it's plagiarism, I think it's better that it's somewhat similar to other popular games since it helps the players adapt to the game faster rather than learning everything from zero.
It's like how most gacha have similar UI placements (though I don't know if it's fair to compare UI to gameplay)
I still think adding mini-uma gameplay is an... "interesting" choice
>>
>>1895919
Copied other games? Everyone do that nowadays so I don't think it's the real issue here. But they simplified everything so they can cram as many different systems as possible and the game ended up just being an uninspired patchwork of various popular games in the market. This is why people say the gameplay is just boring busywork with nothing stands out.
>>
>>1895929
>they simplified everything so they can cram as many different systems as possible
yeah, I see it now that you said it.
It tried to be too many things that it just end up feeling overwhelming
I think the game would've been more enjoyable if they took out mini-uma
I really don't get why it's there
gear substats autism is here too but I suppose it's expected from a gook gacha
>>
>>1895934
I am sure the uma training system was something that got added later during the game development, since the early PVs for the game didn't show any glimpse of it. At first it was probably planned to be another HSR with mix gender cast (there was a twink in the reveal PVs) but when the game was officially named Star Savior they removed that guy and showed the training system as part of the new gameplay system, they even proudly claimed that "we also have umamusume/gakumas at home" in the interview, so yeah some dumbfuck greenlit that idea and changed the game direction during its development.

It is, it's just also a nikke clone, and an uma clone, and an epic seven clone. They took the worst parts of each of those games and combined it into one super shit game. Really it's kind of genius if you think about it from a certain point of view. Bside has a reputation to maintain you know.

I can see their ultimate PVPslop endgame with constant powercreep and hours you have to spend in the training sim every time they drop a new one to perfect their stats. God bless if they even remember to update PVE content.

>God bless if they even remember to update PVE content.
that was the best part of the apology stream, they said there were going to "give special pve buffs to make progression faster", meaning they design units with pvp in mind and pve is an afterthought if that

KR on mass refund mode.

JP cord feedback (translated):
Dear Management Team Member,

Today, Brown Dust 2 and Epic Seven announced their upcoming update plans. Both plans clearly address the player's perspective, including creating new gameplay, reducing player workloads, and increasing benefits.

This contrasts sharply with the hollow, empty "update plan" announced by your company's producer a few days ago.

Whether a game is loved by players depends, first, on understanding its strengths and making the most of them. Second, on providing good "service" to players, identifying their pain points, and building a foundation for long-term management.

Your management team has not achieved even one of these two fundamentals.

Regarding your company's strengths:
Do you think that casually assembling various game systems is a "strength"? No. You yourself should know this.
>>
>>1897648
Currently, your only strength is your art (character design). That's why they're clinging so desperately to the most critical aspect from players: "Home Anime can only be unlocked through a complete breakthrough." They're afraid that changing it would mean they'd no longer be able to make money.

From start to finish, you've never once considered how to improve the game, create new strengths, or extend its usefulness. All I can sense is your mindset: "Make as much money as possible now, while the novelty is still fresh in players' minds, and then fade away quickly."

Regarding player complaints (pain points),
You're well aware of this, too. How many streamers and video creators have pointed out that your training system and the RTA mode are starkly inconsistent?

Why is it that character passive skills can only be strengthened by randomly selecting multiple characters?
This is the biggest contradiction in a game that includes an RTA mode. You're well aware of it, too. Similarly, I'm aware that your gameplay sucks, and understand that your only way to make a profit is by relying on pay-to-win elements like this.

Let's compare them.
Compared to Epic Seven, your equipment system and RTA balance are crap.

Compared to Uma Musume, your training system is extremely stale and boring.

Compared to Nikke and Brown Dust 2, your employee benefits are a world apart.

While character design is your only strength, it's not unique enough to overwhelm your competitors.
>>
>>1897651
You rip off everything and make everything even more boring. I've played all of these games and paid for each one. However, the pressure to pay for them all combined doesn't compare to this one game.

Now, to the core issue. Why on earth should I play Star Savior?
Furthermore, is there any other game at this point that offers four featured summons (UP gacha) right after launching service and only distributes a small number of summon tickets? Do you think that distributing a few character fragments amounts to "giving a character as a gift"?
Let me be frank with you. From the start, your company never gave the slightest thought to making a good game or achieving stable profits over the long term. You simply created a product haphazardly, "copied" systems that other companies were making money from, crammed everything into one, and aimed to make a quick buck during the temporary frenzy at the start of service, without caring what happened to the game after that - this is your company's true objective.
So, if you continue to remain silent, make excuses, and gloss over all your "improvements" with minor details that are irrelevant to the core mechanics, namely:
Lowering the hurdle for unlocking home anime
Abolishing the passive skill unlock system that relies on character breakthroughs, or changing it to an easier method
Optimizing the "Uma Musume"-style training and support card system, which have been endlessly criticized by players
-- Without making any changes to these, you'll just keep as many players as possible hooked for the short term with small perks, squeeze as much out of them as quickly as possible, and then fade from player memory like Counter: Side. If you truly want this game to be a success, first optimize the game's core mechanics in a way that alleviates the pain points that players are pointing out.
Otherwise, you'll soon be reduced to a stray dog on the side of the road.
>>
>>1897652
I mean praising Nikke while also complaining that you need to MLB to get the lobby screen in Star Savior is peak hypocrisy since Nikke does the same thing. Kek
>>
>>1897648
wonder what they devs are gonna do
I doubt it's easy to completely overhaul the gameplay especially when it's after launch and they only managed to fix a couple of problems
Did they really think that gluing together features that aren't compatible with each other while also downgrading them will somehow make the game work?
>>
>>1897768
Games with no solid direction and just rely on feature bloat, trying to do many things at once are doomed to fail. Doesn't help that they seem to think they can survive in the current market with just a handful of whales grinding PVP like meth addicts in the same way as CS.
Either they take a bold move and shutdown the game to overhaul it or just accept its fate and continue to milk those suckers who still stick to the game for all it's worth.
>>
>>1897801
>shutdown the game to overhaul it
the global release is around march next year so if they're quick about it, they could announce a shutdown after the current ended to remove and improve features and re-release it alongside the global server
can't say much about other features but the uma training shit needs to go
it's a waste to throw away the animations and CGs but it has to go
arcana can be reworked into equipment like FGO's craft essence instead
I hate the gear substats autism too but I doubt they will throw that one away so it is what it is
>>
>>1897812
This is by far one of the most moronic take I've read. Journey is literally their most likeable feature. You should just shut your mouth and spare the world from hearing your retarded take.
>>
The retard here really like to spout some shit. 70% reason why this game failed is because optimization and these monkeys don't even say that.
>>
>>1897826
>Journey is literally their most likeable feature
says nobody ever
>>
>>1897828
I had a bad launch because the rerollers can't reroll. Literally 90% of the 1* reviews in google back during the first days was they can't reroll. They loosened the reroll restriction and increased the SSR rates but they still lost a lot of hype during the first week.
>>
>>1897878
Never understood that mentality.
>>
>>1897831
If you're retarded and ignorance, then yeah.
>>1897878
That's still not the core issue. If it's true, then all hoyoverse games will be dead by now.
The main issue is still optimization. MH Wilds and CP2077 got hit by this problem and flopped. To make matter worse, they can't release the steam/pc version simultaneously, so everyone(including the one with gaming phone) will still feel the lag.
The second most important issues is gameplay. The gameplay is just boring and braindead. Now, it won't be that big of a problem because the skill animation is good and you can leave it on auto. But because the stupid optimization, you can't even enjoy it.
Because of these problems, people become critical and nitpick everything.
>>
>>1897886
It's the most basic QOL you can give new players. Everyone knows people are going to be rerolling, it's not some industry secret.

You can believe whatever you want little bro, but the fact of the mater is that rerolling is a HUGE part of the fun asian players and players simply aren't going to stick with the game if it doesn't let them have their fun (rerolling until they get the unit they want)
>>

Everyone was coping by claiming "they are going to adjust it for release!", at the time people thought the game could be fixed simply by moving some numbers around.
This isn't uncommon for betas, OP stuff and glitches are sometimes found months after release.
>>
I actually like the game so it's too bad that only JP can help them since they're not as vindictive. At this point KR is actively trying to get it to shut down for some reason and there's no way this game will amount to much in Global.

Sadly they earn much more from KR and that's saying much(they're flopping in JP)
>At this point KR is actively trying to get it to shut down for some reason
I agree about this. Though on the other hand, we got many freebies and improvement because of this reason.
I've said it and I'll say it again that the major problem of this game is with their optimization, but KR become too critical and nitpick everything.
>there's no way this game will amount to much in Global.
With how much they made, I don't think global will be that insignificant. Sadly I can see them shafting global(To be fair, delayed release date is them shafting us already). I expect minimum of 1 cosmic selection ticket and I won't paid anything if they don't give this.
>>
>>1898822
I'll be honest, if I can't get those lobby animations without whaling I'm probably just not going to play. Not going to be a second class citizen for the fanservice.
>>
>>1898861
But what if it comes with undressing feature
>>
>>1898892
It doesn't though, and that would be even more incentive not to play if I can't have that and whales can. Those fags already get free domination in pvp why should they get extra fanservice as well?
>>
>>1898895
You know full well they will give skins with extra fanservice features as some kind of premium bonus for whaling like CS prestige skins.
>>
>>1898898
Sure but there is a base level of fanservice expected for all players and this game is breaking that rule. BA gives you the same thing completely for free and it even comes with personal dates with the girls as well. Bside really doesn't understand how big of a fuck up it is going to be locking these things behind 4 dupes.
>>
>>1898895
My point is IF it's good enough to be locked behind dupe then i might cave in, fuck poorfags.
>>
>>1898911
I'm not poor and I always spend a bit in gacha but needing that many dupes just to unlock one single lobby screen which you will get bored of eventually is just asking too much from a fresh game that already has a mountain of problems. Being generous with the fanservice was the only way they were going to get people to overlook the gameplay problems. Being stingy and having bad gameplay is just a death sentence there's no getting around it.
>>
>>1898911
>>1898913
Don't worry, when the game falls under the red line they will start copying another infamous KR game, Brown Dust 2 and have all the girls popping out their nipples and cameltoe on their l2d lobby screen. Of course it will still be locked behind dupes.
>>
>>1898915
Women can walk around outside topless in a good portion of the world. It's bullshit that is hidden away in AO games. Pussy I understand but it is long past time to free the nipple.
>>
>>1898822
>To be fair, delayed release date is them shafting us already
Global is gonna miss out on those random 5* they gave out in mail as compensation on top of selectors with cosmic units. I'll probably just be a f2p leech in this game if they do shaft global. Knowing Bside they're probably gonna shaft global FIRST then issue an apology and hand out gibs for global.
>>
>>1898918
I don't care about random *5 as long as the game is "fixed". I just want that *5 selection(inc. cosmic) even if the game is fixed. On the other hand, if the game is still broken, then we do deserve what KR & JP get.
>>
>>1898936
How do you fix fundamental core game systems? Revamping the turn based combat and horse training would take years. They don't even have any ideas or they would already be in the game. The best they can do is make it not lag which seems like a stretch for their team.
>>
>>1898938
They can take their time with gameplay mechanics. Gacha on the other hand is something they can fix immediately, best they can do is to add a mileage system instead or on top of pity count.

11/27~12/4: Bunny Girl Event. Anger is largely contained with occasional flare-ups across the day. But with no major fixes, Google Play ratings drop back down to 1.2.

The first event of the game is launched on 11/27. The first day is fairly quiet; people are still trying to be optimistic about the game, and are progressing through the event content.

The next day comes with two major controversies. First, was an issue with the inability to log back in after logging out for certain users. This was not a new issue, but only came to surface after said users found Bside's customer support to be useless and decided they'd have better luck by making the issue blow up in the forums. They were correct in their judgment, and the game was patched within the day.

Second, was a mistake with skill localisation for one of the new banner pulls, Bunny Girl Claire. The devs wrote the skill localisation incorrectly, making the skill sound better than it was actually was, and pissed off users who felt scammed by this. The devs ultimately decided to respond by buffing the skill to match the text. As a side effect, this, along with buffs to crit, raised Bunny Girl Claire up to OP levels, making her one of the two best characters in the game.

The next few days are a slowly worsening spiral of users being frustrated with the state of the game. Outbursts of anger are most common during the mornings, where people have to actually play the game, but then quiet down by the evening, with players trying to comfort themselves that the devs will fix everything, eventually. (This cycle becomes a trend throughout the rest of the two weeks, although the angry part grows longer and more intense as the days pass on)
New dev note is released on 12/1. It contains some slight gameplay changes, and some apology rewards, but zero mentions about the BM, the fucked-up game progression, or any of the other issues that the players are most concerned about.
>>
>>1902291
Google Play ratings start sliding down again. It will slide down all the way to 1.2 by 12/4.

KR explodes again on 12/3, once its publicised that the daily grinds have basically no difference in rewards regardless of the difficulty you clear them in. (Actual values scaled up to +10% at max difficulty, basically within the margin of error). People were already angry at the needlessly clunky and difficult game progression, but now it feels pointless too. Whales are especially pissed. The entire design screams of the devs being greedy and wanting to sell as many in-game resources as possible. The devs hurriedly promise to increase the rewards from grinding, but it ultimately comes off as a half-assed response.

2. 12/5~12/7: The Anime Game Festival is held in South Korea. Attention shifts from the game itself to the AGF. Bside's Star Savior booth is a hit.

KR calms down for a bit as people prepare to go to the festival. People are also impressed by the scale and quality of the Star Savior booth. The yellow backpacks with a design based on Smile the booth hands out becomes wildly popular at the AGF, and can be seen in almost all the photos taken there.

Ryu Geum-tae (henceforce RGT), PD of Star Savior and CEO/founder of Bside, comes on the first day of the AGF and apologises to the people there in-person, and promises to improve the game, with details to be released in a later stream. This is pretty successful, and public sentiment improves, although there are also a lot of self-derogatory remarks about how gullible they're being, and about how RGT apparently possesses a hypnosis app and how they're all being brainwashed.

Lots of memes in the KR community how RGT is like an abusive dad who promises to stop drinking and come back home with fried chicken for the umpteenth time. And about how they're the little kid that always believes in dad.
>>
>>1902292
Ultimately, while the booth itself was a success, there wasn't much increase in the game's popularity, with potential new players assumedly being scared off by the game's low ratings. Player counts slowly drop, breaching the 10k mark for Samsung Galaxy users. A bunch of people are getting Counterside flashbacks, where player counts had to drop to a low of ~1500 before the devs finally started listening to the users.

3. 12/8~12/10: Lots of hope and cynicism alike for the upcoming stream. Lots of betrayed expectations, and KR has a meltdown by the end.

People are disappointed at the fact that the promised stream isn't happening immediately, but several days later on 12/10. Many are cynical about the stream, and predict that stream will address zero user feedback and instead be used to advertise for the upcoming event/banners, as the Bunny Girl event is ending soon. Said cynicism worsens as an interview with RGT is released, which implies that RGT has zero intentions of dealing with the issues brought up by KR.

Google play ratings climb up to ~2.4 however, as the positive effects of RGT's apology continues.

There's a massive amount of discussion on the design failures of the game, and about potential improvements/fixes, in preparation for the upcoming livestream. All the various opinions were then collected, summarising them in one huge post with 45 different topics: https://arca.live/b/starsavior/156370233

Unforunately, the livestream itself ends up being a major, major disappointment. First, while the devs call in a pretty famous person in the video game field to serve as a host for the stream (Park Dong-min), the stream itself ends up having technical issues and it's pretty clear that the devs did not prepare very much for the stream apart from calling in the guest host.
>>
>>1902293
RGT starts the stream off on the wrong foot, congratulating himself and his company for their successes at the AGF, which immediately pisses people off. RGT reads the mood and shuts up, instead calling in the game's director to read the upcoming patch notes for him. What follows is a bunch of one-sided reading of the patch notes, while the guest host desperately tries to salvage the stream, and hints that the devs should throw the players a bone. Chat is basically ignored by the devs. The stream ends with an advertisement for the upcoming event and the new banner pulls.

KR explodes. While the patch notes contained a wide range of small-scope improvements, they were the sort that should have been included in the game in the first place, and not at all deserving an entire stream to be advertised about. The devs also did not at all address the biggest issues that KR had with the game, did not discuss any wider-scope design changes, or provide a roadmap on how to further fix the problems in the game. Out of the 45 topics that KR had gathered earlier, the stream only touched 15% of them, and can only said to have "fixed" 11%. (I don't any english translations of the patch notes at the moment, but will edit the post to include one from r/starsavior_info, once it's posted there.)

Addendum: JP is still on life support. Bside ran a pretty significant marketing campaign in Japan, and it did start to climb up the rankings once the new event launched, but quickly dropped back down after. It's still not dead-dead, but JP seems to be largely cynical/negative towards the game.
>>

Not related but Counterside's China servers EOS'd lel. CN isn't exactly fond of Bside either.
>>
I am getting a strong premonition that global is going to be delayed even longer. They might even shut the game down and rework it.
>>
>>1902302
No way unless 100% refunds are possible, I'd imagine there's some legal repercussions if they did that
>>
>>1902324
I recall after 6 months you aren't eligible for refunding anymore or something. There is a reason all these games always try to last for 6 months before announcing EOS.
>>
>>1902302
I don't think StudioBSide has the financial capacity to do that. Even Kuro had to push an unfinished game out because they couldn’t afford to let Wuthering Waves stay in development hell any longer, even with Tencent backing them. Only companies like Mihomo, Cygames and Hypergryph can operate at that level.
>>
>>1902344
>Mihomo, Cygames and Hypergryph
None of them actually pushed out a flop and had to remake to fix it, so it's not really the same. Staying in development hell or endless beta is still better than shutting down and remaking the game after launch, the bad rep and words of mouth would be enough for people to avoid the game even with 2nd attempt.
>>
>>1902357
Trickcal’s second attempt was actually pretty successful, but then again I don't think BSide has the financial capacity to do so
>>
>>1902360
I guess people still draw to Trickcal for its unique charm, while Bside went for generic 3d graphic with generic gameplay and now it completely bit them in the ass.
>>
still gonna play the game btw
>>
>>1902386
Play KR, at this point just don't waste your time waiting for global
>>
>>1902387
nah i'll wait.
>>
>>1902362
Trickcal or any other gacha with unique premise wouldnt have saved it if the game ifself was as awful as star savior is for that matter
>>
>>1902357
Wasn't prico a flop that had to be remade?
>>
>>1902402
Well Cygames considered it's a sequel rather than a remake, and even so it managed to last for a year and half, which was considered normal for a mobage back then when they were more or less just throwaway cash grab projects for many companies.

Only idiots and people who never experienced Bside's incompetence would get hyped for this game. The fact that they managed to do worse than the low expectation speak volumes of how dumb they are.
>>
>>1909241
Yeah removing males from the game was a mistake, am i right sis?
>>
>>1909249
I doubt there was ever going to be more than a token representation just like in CS. But it was dumb because cs actually had cool males you wanted. Still if they were going full jew with the rolls I would hate to get spooked by one. It would be much more painful.

>In fact, a lot of people are super concerned at the moment because the recent banner is super OP, meaning that powercreep is about to start for the game only a month in, highly dupe-dependent, while also being a Cosmic (only 1% per pull instead of 2%) when it had no reason to be one, making it super suspicious of being a cash-grab and that the devs have given up on the game's long-term health. The new banner is also a variation of an existing character (Waltz Asherah v. Asherah), and is full of recycled assets.

>arca is full of people posting their spark screen just to get her first copy
You know how fucked the rates are if this happens, on top of that they never mail an apology, a survey, or any random gibs in general unlike other kr devs.
>>
>>1916281
What do you mean counterside died?
>>
>>1916458
It's not making enough money to keep bside afloat, once ss tanks cs will go right along with it.
>>
>>1916448
You do know that the spark shit carries over right? Like if you rolled enough during the past banners you can just post your spark screen too even though you never rolled in this banner.
>>
>>1916438
Yeah they just return once a week just to seethe. It's pretty funny at this point that they're too invested in the game's downfall.
>>
>>1916485
Not everything carries over, it's worse than nikkies.
>>
>>1916485
They won't bother posting a screencap of them using their points with a huge "NOT OBTAINED" if they're not pissed. I know because i'm close to 200 myself and haven't gotten that much ssr let alone a single fucking cosmic.
>>
>>1916489
What are you even talking about. Everything about their banners except for the arcana are the same as Nikke's.
>>
>>1916491
Yeah and I got 4 copies of her in 50 rolls. So that means your luck just sucks.
>>
Are we really starting the anti/troll shitposting before the game even goes global?
>>
>>1916491
You really believe the people in arca are posting in good faith and that they really all didn't get anything in 200 rolls? They literally have been trying to bring the game down since release so I bet a lot of those are just trolling and didn't actually have to roll a lot.
>>
>>1916494
They will get bored and move to Endfield next month anyway.
>>
>we have honest to god bside shills
How much are they paying you?
>>
>>1916488
I understand why people are voicing concern(as they should) but unlike some doomsissies itt i have the firsthand experience
>>1916493
Good for you. Unfortunately the lucky few don't make up for the majority of the playerbase and they need all the goodwill they could get as they're leaving in droves.
>>
>>1916492
It's objectively worse than Nikke even if its identical (which imo is a generous gacha) because it's far more expensive for a couple reasons: Support card banners alongside character banners, and dupes are required unlike Nikke where characters function at their full potential without dupes. Just imagine how awful your pity stock would feel, if you can even afford one, if they add limited character banners. The standard banner also doesn't have a wishlist, while Nikke had one on launch.
>>
>>1916444
>In fact, a lot of people are super concerned at the moment because the recent banner is super OP, meaning that powercreep is about to start for the game only a month in, highly dupe-dependent, while also being a Cosmic (only 1% per pull instead of 2%) when it had no reason to be one, making it super suspicious of being a cash-grab and that the devs have given up on the game's long-term health.
Bro Nikke had Modernia in their first New Year Banner just a bit longer than a month after release with the same powercreep and the same lower rates because she's a pilgrim. I never saw anyone complain about that back then.
>>
>>1916507
Everyone had scarlet who was also OP so it didn't matter as much.
>>
>>1916495
Oh i'm 100% sure, the game copied nikke's gacha rules while not giving the same amount of gibs. I had to exchange for a red hood in nikke as a latefag and still got a lot changes afterwards. Whatever they're working for the global update will decide the fate of the game or even the company itself.
>>
>>1916510
Yeah and everyone has Lacy in Star Savior especially since people got a selector so what's the difference.
>>
>>1916507
>>1916510
I never had scarlet until she's been reduced to a mere pvp/tower slave so alice was my only option yet the progression still feel a lot better than ss, the break mechanic in this game sucks and heavily catered towards cosmic characters, it's probably better to remove it all together for pve contents.
>>
>>1916514
The difference is Shift Up mogs Bside so bigly it's not even funny. The shittiest parts of other games mashed together is a retarded idea. How could they not even come up with one unique idea of their own?
>>
>>1916518
So your issue is only due to BSide? Then why bring up cosmic, powercreep, lower rates than non-cosmic characters and all that shit then since Nikke did those first? Just say it straight that you hate Studio BSide and be done with it.
>>
>>1916514
>bro just get this designated meta character that you probably don't give a damn about to progress your game
Holy fucking sovlless batman
>>
>>1916518
Their unique idea was smashing a bunch of big hits together to create the "ultimate game", since they must think no one ever tried that before.
>>
Where is this random bside dick riding coming from? They haven't made a single good decision since designing horizon.
>>
>>1916521
Same as >>1916510 though
>>
>>1916523
Same as where all the weekly seething comes from. Probably the drama thread. kek
>>
>>1916524
Being the same as a three years old game is not a good thing.
>>
>>1916534
The same thing happened in Nikke's first few months is what they were talking about...
>>
>>1916520
It's simple, it's because of their BM, which is still the #1 problem with the game. Modernia doesn't need dupes, everyone and their grandmother owned her after launch. Nikke also handles powercreep fairly well in comparison, and New Years then became a trend for Pilgrims so its no longer unexpected. Meanwhile BSide seems to be shitting out 1% Cosmics before rebalancing the game, that require dupes and recycled assets, like it doesn't matter. No shit their players are gonna hate it.
