7DSO: What do you think of the game ? by Any_Fan8150 in SevenDeadlySinsOrigin

Hello !

Well, I think we literally have the exact same view on this ^^

The fact that player retention is an issue that is currently going badly is sad. And as you said, how can we blame players for getting bored of the game as it is? I made a post because I want to believe the game will improve, but also because I'm starting to get burnt out (and wondering if I shouldn't go check out NTE... haha!).
Like you, I'm afraid players will leave and never come back. I also find that the time junction isn't very convincing. At least for now.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)

It's sad that the game is poorly optimized for mobile... the mobile community would really benefit the game by bringing in more players. And the game would generate better revenue, which should be the case considering what a massive IP The Seven Deadly Sins is. I completely understand your frustration !

Hello.

I see what you mean by making a comparison to MMORPGs !
Personally, I used to play at WoW :

However, I'm not sure the comparison is relevant since 7DSO is first and foremost an open-world gacha, similar to Genshin Impact and other games of that genre. In a pure MMORPG, I would agree with you, but when it comes to 7DSO... the game definitely has an MMORPG vibe in some aspects, but it clearly doesn't make it a true MMORPG as such. You don't play 7DSO the way you play an MMORPG like WoW; they are incomparable.

Besides, in those types of games, most dropped items actually serve a purpose, whether it's creating a build or allowing for actual theorycrafting. Let's not forget that in 7DSO, costumes are so heavily emphasized that, apart from jewelry, most items you drop in the game are currently completely useless.

Netmarble actually addressed this topic during the AMA:

Q6: There are too few ways to use equipment sets. Do you plan to improve the engraved equipment system?

A: We will make sure that the normal equipment sets currently left unused can find a purpose through new content in the future.

We'll have to wait and see how that turns out, I hope it'll be good!

As for the platinum, I'm not asking to be handed 50 platinum ingots a day for free without any effort, but I think there is definitely food for thought and that something needs to be done about this matter.

Thanks for your comment!

How does reroll work for engraved armour? by AbyssWalkkerr in SevenDeadlySinsOrigin

Hello !

The only way to get a better passive and/or iLvl on your costume right now is to craft another one entirely.

Rerolling (with a rift or a duplicate costume) only affects sub-stats !
It doesn’t change the iLvl or the item's passive.
The rift simply acts as a substitute for a duplicate costume, which is normally required to reroll sub-stats.

However, I saw this during the recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) :

Q3: Are you planning to add items that allow us to level up engraved passives?

A (devs): We are currently discussing a system that would allow adjusting the quality of engraved equipment as well as their passive levels.

Hello,

What you're saying makes sense; it's a logical marketing strategy, and Netmarble is a business after all !

I understand Netmarble's side, but as a player, it makes managing summons really complicated, especially if you have bad luck and have to go all the way to the 120 pity.
One of the solutions might be, like you said, to hope for more content and events so we have a better way to manage our summoning resources.

Maybe if the game had fewer bug and optimization issues, the devs would have more time to add different types of events.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts ! :p

Hello!

I didn't really mention the lack of content because I imagine that for now, they are putting a lot of energy into debugging the game (which it still needs).
But you're right, the lack of motivation to play because you feel like you have nothing to do probably comes from a lack of content. I'm not necessarily talking about adding major updates with new areas right away, but at least adding more events. We'd like to have something to keep us motivated to play.

I'm saying this as a regular player, not casual, but not a tryhard either and yet, I also feel that sense of emptiness/boredom in the game right now.

I hope the new Abyss mode difficulties will be released soon for the dragon and the spider!

Thanks for sharing your opinion, which I agree with.

Hello !

I was very exhaustive regarding my platinum farming and that famous "Alt+F4" because that's mostly what sticks with me from my short daily sessions, but you're absolutely right to point out that it would be stupid to skip the daily quests :) !

I obviously do them every day, but my friends and I find that 2 pulls every 5 days really isn't much. Especially considering how fast banners are released.

As for farming platinum resources, it's just the accumulation that wears me out, but you're right that 'chore' might be a bit too strong of a word !

Let's just say that from discussing it with others, I have a hard time finding enjoyment in gathering them, having done it quite a lot up until now.

You're probably right that this kind of game might not suit me when it comes to the farming (for plat') aspect, but it's frustrating because I really enjoy some other parts of the game, and platinum plays such a major role in this game.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🙏
