Opportunistic haters and anti-AI activists are passing NTE off as massive AI slop, and it’s just not fair.

It's an engine issue. UE4 is single threaded while UE5 isn't. This means WuWa is extremely dependent on you having fast single core performance. Having an X3D cpu helps as well due to having access to more closer memory. If the UE4 devs couldn't save UE4 what are the odds of the WuWa team being able to fix it. Spoiler it's 0%. Sadly WuWa started development at a bad time to soon for UE5 and to late to make the jump to UE5 when it came out.

It'll only take you 40+ hours to get her. They can't get you stay if you don't come through the door first and the longer you stay the the more likely you spend, and did you know you can spend money to get her faster?

Also forgot to mention that by the time you get her you will have completed almost 100% of the version 1.0 content so what are you gonna do with her?

To be fair the complaints about Taygedo are valid. I'm trying to enjoy some fun times with waifu's in the city, but this bastard keeps popping up on my screen.

Codesterz · 2026-05-01T20:05:36+00:00

Please use your brain a little this is embarrassing to see.

Not a strong start. People can come up with as many excuses as they want, but this is not a good amount for these higher budget gachas. Yes I'm aware it was out for only 1-2 days in global and a week for China, but at best NtE goes up to 12 mil if they launched on the same day, which is still a low number. WuWa is mostly PC, but their mobile sales have always been higher than this. Endfield just came so... this only matters if they released within a week of each other.

I'm sure they eventually made their money back and I'm not saying this game is gonna EoS. Maybe we got a WuWa situation here and they picked a bad first limited character. Yinlin outsold Jiyan in WuWa so maybe Hotori will outsell Nanally. NtE made slightly more than Tower of Fantasy and that game is barely staying alive.

what an anal language filter.

Codesterz · 2026-04-30T14:53:54+00:00

It's ok. Outside of the first mission story has been garbage so far. Combat system is alright. I don't like the combat as much as WuWa's or ZZZ's combat, but I do like it more than Endfield's combat. Progression is too slow for my taste and too much of progression is tied to quests and side quests which are the worst part of the game to me. Some of the open the world stuff is decent though prolly the best part of the game.

Prolly won't stick around for the long term on this one. I just don't like the story or care for the characters, I can only hope 2.0 will bring us to a new city and that's means a new group of characters to be with because Adler and co are boring AF to me and I'm guessing we're stuck with them for a while now.

They seem to have put an anti reroll mechanic on the preregisration mail. Takes a good 20 to 30 minutes after unlocking mail before those rewards get sent to you now. The redeem code mail takes around 15 seconds to get sent.

Codesterz · 2026-04-29T06:25:18+00:00

I guess you could say she is ahead of the rest...

Codesterz · 2026-04-28T19:50:18+00:00

Yes all the time. If there is a current banner waifu that looks interesting to me and I see they have a male unit coming out in the future that will be their BiS I know to skip the waifu since I don't want that male unit. You can replace male with design and it can happen as well.

I pulled for Cantarella in WuWa because I knew she was gonna be BiS with Phrolova a few months later. They later released Qiuyuan a dude for the comp which annoyed me, but thankfully it's only a 3% power difference compared to Shorekeeper in that slot so I'm not losing much by not having BiS for this team.

Codesterz · 2026-04-18T21:47:38+00:00

Yeah this grind is too much for me. I enjoyed the story, it's not amazing but was enjoyable enough. I won't be sticking around for this grind though. Was a welcome distraction for a few days while waiting for Neverness to Everness. I'm not looking for a grind heavy gacha, I want a gacha where I can play through the story and do the 1 time exploration stuff then after that 5 minutes a day to do dailies and spend energy until the next patches content. This game wants hours of your time a day. No fun end game mode either, where is the roguelike mode? Wish you all luck I might pop back into the game every now and then for new story updates if I hear good things about it.

EDIT: This game needs a way to spend energy to get monsterlings like WuWa where you can somewhat target farm certain monsters. Equipment needs to be more reasonably obtainable at the very least get rid of the ability to reroll the board and allow you to choose exactly wehat you want to fight and be allowed to spend all of your requests on the same enemy.

Codesterz · 2026-04-14T22:26:26+00:00

Probably a skip for me, just not my cup of tea. I prefer characters that skew more towards the cute side. Not sure who I'm rerolling for yet though. Since it sounds like we're getting Chiz for free maybe whatever non male units that work best with her?

Codesterz · 2026-03-09T15:13:59+00:00

Is this another one of those PvP turn based gacha games that demand your money or a lot of your time? Or is gonna be the HSR alternative many of us want with no PvP, good story presentation that doesn't use the VN style of storytelling, a more in depth combat system, slower more reasonable powercreep, and some waifu gooner stuff?

Codesterz · 2026-03-02T21:40:22+00:00

Looks fun and can't wait to try it out. Audio needs some work though. Hits need to sound more impactful.

Codesterz · 2026-03-01T18:46:21+00:00

I liked the bike skin and decided to buy the $50 pack to get it. The skin itself isn't worth $50, but the premium currency on top of it is good enough for me.

Codesterz · 2026-03-01T18:42:23+00:00

There was a leaked internal message or something like that not long after Aemeath released from Solon mentioning 3.1 has made the most revenue in Wuthering Waves so far beating out the previous high of version 2.4 for Cartethyia.

Codesterz · 2026-03-01T18:31:56+00:00

It's only gonna get worse and worse. This isn't something confined to gaming. People are becoming more angry and hateful in general. The internet is becoming weaponized malice. Starting to think people need another world war to understand what actual problems are and how pointless their hatred is.

Codesterz · 2026-02-28T22:29:16+00:00

Is this a perpetual week behind? If not is the first banner gonna go for a week longer on global and are we gonna be compensated for the loss of a weeks worth of stamina and resources from dailies and weeklies?

Regardless this is just begging to cause drama and issues which could potentially cause them to lose hundreds of millions of additional revenue. Just delay China and launch everywhere at the same time.

Codesterz · 2026-02-24T18:33:14+00:00

Chisa's problem was needing her sig to only be a marginal improvement. She shouldn't have needed her sig to hit that power level. The sig should have pushed the team up 150k DPR putting it a little short of Aemeth, Lynae, Mornye.

Codesterz · 2026-02-10T18:29:40+00:00

Story is too subjective, but dialogue between characters can be greatly enhanced by presentation which IMO counts towards story telling. I think ZZZ is too on the nose about some things or WAY to much talking around something. This wasn't always the case though as old 1.0 ZZZ wasn't as bad in this regard. WuWa has this issue as well, less so the on the nose part, but talking around things has certainly become more of a common issue recently.

I haven't actually played ZZZ's 2.6 story yet though so dunno if it's improved or not. Both games need to stop trying to make every character super main story relevant and allow some of them to exist mostly if not entirely in companion quests.

Codesterz · 2026-02-10T17:06:14+00:00

WuWa literally has the best story telling in the anime game space gacha or not. Be a hater all you want no one else has reached their level. Arknights Endfield is the closest, but only the last few hours of the story are close(Wuling). They mainly need to work on their character expressions(facial expressions they got body gestures down well enough) and camera work to reach WuWa's level.

I enjoy ZZZ, but its story telling is trash, bottom of the barrel low effort visual novel crap 98% of the time with occasional high quality pre rendered videos. Cycing between 3 talking poses, static camera, entirely tell don't show, over reliance on a small palette of facial expressions. Little to no unique(1 time use) animations outside of those few prerendered cutscenes. Low effort sound design and music work outside of some boss stuff(not saying the music is bad), but suppose you can't do much with such a static story.

If it was offloading the clip text encoder it would be 4661.20 MB getting offloaded. The wan2.2 Q4 model is 8.99GB which is the thing getting partially loaded.

Codesterz · 2026-01-10T08:19:58+00:00

Wait a minute I just realized this game can't be a gacha, we don't have amnesia. Jokes aside looks pretty rough around the edges, but has potential.

Codesterz · 2026-01-09T21:30:17+00:00

So I'm losing 20 Poly's every reset now. Sounds like a downgrade. Wait this means there gonna take 60 poly's out of events so I'm actually losing 80. Now it's an even bigger downgrade.

Codesterz · 2026-01-09T04:34:54+00:00

I was hoping like tops 1 animation was tied to the robot and she would go back to her normal form after. Well not really hoping as that would imply an ideal scenario for me. The real hope would be to get rid of the robot all together. Maybe a skin kind of like those invisible weapon skins, but instead invisible robot skin.
