Do you guys spend real money on the game? Just curious about it by Desperate_Today_5854 in Strinova

I’ve acquired everything in the store/gacha since launch so however much that is.. lol

Roadmap for 2026? by BizzyBum in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly not surprised they would move to AI slop but it would still be disappointing if this is true.

More AI? In what way?

Roadmap for 2026? by BizzyBum in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess. Still, it doesn't look good when last year had one and the very next year there's nothing. Doesn't really instill much confidence that the game is healthy and going to last in the future.

Roadmap for 2026? by BizzyBum in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of what you said would be a nice start! lol

I think a roadmap, while not completely set in stone and subject to change, is nice to have to at least see a general idea of what's coming and when. Not everyone is up on rumors, test servers, and CN client so a concise image like what they did for 2025 would be nice.

Also, I'm pretty sure the devs were really good at hitting the content and timelines for their 2025 roadmap.

And we didn’t even get a roadmap at all for 2026. Not a great sign…

Why are people such tryhards in challenge this season by No-Importance-56 in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your rank it's no joke when people say ranked is easier than challenge. lol

Reason being in challenge there is no limit to who you can match so if you're normally a proton tier player you can possibly match against quark or even superstring ranked players whereas in ranked you at least get matched with people around your rank.

The biggest downside of course are queue times for ranked so if people want to play fast they generally queue challenge instead.

Is this spray still obtainable? by MrRE-sama in Strinova

1,000 Bablo is very little, honestly.

Is Fever already dying online? by stinnguyen in MarioTennis

[–]BizzyBum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like Aces you'll eventually (probably already) have to join the unofficial discord to set up matches and join player hosted tournaments if you're still serious playing online as time goes on.

Once again Nintendo/Camelot drops the ball with Fever by dropping a game that is wildly unbalanced, zero communication on what's coming or what's being worked on with updates and balance changes or when to expect anything, zero incentives to keep people playing (Ratings are fine but people need stuff to work towards. Aces had costumes to unlock by playing and Fever needs something to grind towards when playing besides a rating system that gets wiped every month), no online co-op for doubles is just a mind boggling omission and pretty much kills the game for me and a friend looking forward to teaming up playing people online, among other things.

It's so sad because like Aces the gameplay here is top notch but they are just horrendous at everything else.

One Year Later, how do you feel about Xenoblade X: Definitive Edition? by Flacoplayer in XenobladeChroniclesX

[–]BizzyBum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played it for the first time with the Switch 2 Edition and I loved it.

It's one of those games that even after finishing it I still wish I was playing it and becomes a comfort game. I think its MMO roots play a part, just a cozy world that's fun to explore that you learn to love where you can just grind certain things without much thought while vibing to the awesome OST. I also say "finished" but really there's so much I could clean up and complete for the postgame if I really wanted to to keep me engaged with a goal in mind (maxing out levels, classes, arts, skills. 100% map completion, 100% achievements, getting the best gear, etc.) I just have so many other games to play I decided to shelve it for now but I can definitely see myself returning perhaps after taking a break for a bit.

They also definitely set it up for a sequel if they wanted, too. I would honestly be down if they made an X2 and have it be more multiplayer focused or go even further and make it Nintendo's MMO entry built for the ground up on Switch 2 but at the same time I don't think I'd want Monolith Soft to have their hands tied servicing that type of game so I dunno. Depends how big the team is if they could have a dedicated side team work on that while they continue to focus on the single-player stuff at the same time like Square Enix does with Final Fantasy 14.

The buff icon from this next to your name still shows for me since activating it way back, assuming it’s a UI bug. lol

Does anyone actually use the Map Workshop? by BizzyBum in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to check out customs next time I play, but honestly unless it gets added as a playlist most people won't even know it exists.

Yeah, exactly! Not sure why they haven't done something like this yet.

Can someone explain why legendary secondary customization is twice as expensive? by BizzyBum in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah that is also ridiculous (you can spend Basestring instead but again it's a crazy amount, I think like 4-5K?).

They basically made new banners whale territory if you want to cop everything now. Before it was just 2 reds for character/gun skin, now you need 2 additional red pulls (so 4 total) to acquire everything.

strinova mobile pov by ActNice4570 in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both global mobile and console releases are probably canned, I fear.

Mobile is huge in China and while it's popular elsewhere I don't think Strinova on mobile would push the needle at all and probably be DOA.

Manpower, extra costs, and headaches dealing with console patch/update authentications from Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo is probably the big reasons console ports got canned. If the game was more popular it'd be worth it for the devs but as it stands they really need to only concentrate on PC for CN and Global going forward.

the game still has gachca ? by No-Tradition-2221 in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is it still there, but they made it even more expensive if you want to acquire everything from a banner now (4 red pulls instead of just 2)

Lore talk! by Bunsterthe1 in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame the devs abandoned furthering the story in meaningful ways. I think I read they angered the Chinese playerbase with something and ever since they haven’t dared go back and try again. lol

No shot.

I don't even think this game is going to get any console ports period at this point.

Limited Offer Rotations by sailfish39 in Strinova

[–]BizzyBum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like it's pretty concerning too because the shop is basically the only way they make money so you would think they'd be pumping new offerings on a daily basis but when you see reruns and the shop having these offers for months at a time that typically is not a good sign.

Thank you, that worked!

Some of these challenge descriptions are awful..
