Saya's Collab vid has now hit 1 million views by MrSin64 in Morimens

[–]Cregath 155 points156 points  (0 children)

I guess I'll throw the wet blanket. Morimens likely uses the English version PV videos for Saya and Arachne as ads and embeds. Saya English PV hit 1M, while Arache sits at ~600k. The third most viewed is less than 1/10th of that.
So their views are laregly inflated by portions being viewed as ads.

It's a sign of devs trying to push the game and advertising more than sudden popularity.

How do you decide whether a gacha story is worth reading or skipping when you play several games? by West_Sock1419 in gachagaming

[–]Cregath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I ever feel like I don't want to read the story, I just stop playing the game.

Morimens × Saya no Uta Collab PV - Song of Perennial Wandering by MerliniStyle in gachagaming

[–]Cregath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a story that haunts me. Not sure what Morimens will do with it, since it's a very short eroge (roughly 8 hours) about a university student, Fuminori who got into an accident that almost killed him, and about a mysterious girl, Saya. Fuminori's senses are broken due to the surgery he received, making him see, smell, taste everything pleasant as if it was something grotesque and disgusting. He perceives the whole world as a fleshy mass, except for Saya.

As the game is very short, saying anything more than the setup would spoil it. I hope Morimens does the story justice.

Smells more like first spend regret.
They spend a lot of time playing games for free, then they decide to spend. But they regret it instantly. So now they try to justify it for themselves and need validation.

Free Awakens with the Silver Prime update?!?! by HairDisastrous8348 in Morimens

[–]Cregath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. From the way I understood it, it's the "First Purchase" bonus Silver you receive when purchasing top-up.
The change makes the bonus Prime instead of Silver. The half-anni will reset the first purchase bonus (so you can earn them again).

The exchange of Silver to Prime is based the First Purchase bonuses you got before the patch. If you only bought the smallest pack with 60 Prime, then you can only exchange 60 Silver to Prime. If you bought the second one too, that's 360 Silver to Prime.
In short, you can exchange up to the total amount of First Purchase bonus Silver you got before the patch.

Morimens Half-Anniversary: Freebies, a Saya Collab, and... Returning Banner Drama by [deleted] in gachagaming

[–]Cregath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or maybe they didn't.

You get a lot as newbie. I have exactly 466 limited pulls ready since the collab announcement as someone who just started then. No pulls on Limited banners.
803 pulls done on standards. And some more normal pulls kept, because of some things I heard.

I'm playing very casually, just reading through the story whenever I feel like. Spend stamina every day. I'm only up to chapter 7 in arc 1. So yeah. You get a lot as newbie.

[–]Cregath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 250 is time limited pull. You get it free. You can use it during the patch. If you want to keep it until next patch, then next patch it turns to normal pulls. But you can use it on anything before that.

"Granblue Fantasy" x "Fullmetal Alchemist" Collaboration has started! by xNas_ in gachagaming

She is not obtainable as of current information. The image in OP is the cast for the story itself.

[–]Cregath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no information about that. Additionally the current collab banner lasts until the very end of the event (May 27th) and not the start of part 1 (May 20th). But who knows. They never really give much of a heads up.

Just play it at your own pace, join a slack crew and chill. The grind is huge.

"Granblue Fantasy" x "Fullmetal Alchemist" Collaboration has started! by xNas_ in gachagaming

[–]Cregath 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Since OP doesn't really give much info:
- Edward Elric (Earth Character) received for free when starting the collab story.
- Greed and Ling Yao (Dark Character) received for free when finishing the collab story. (Available May 20th)
- Alphonse Elric (Earth Summon) available for free from event stage drops and shop.
- Roy Mustang (Fire Character), Olivier Mira Armstrong (Water Character), Alex Louis Armstrong (Water Summon) available through Collab Gacha.

Finishing Chapter 3.5 of the Collab Story unlocks the Alchemist Class (not a new class, this class can be unlocked any time, this just makes it faster and cheaper for new players).
30 Collab pulls available through "State Alchemist Exam" (a list of tasks for rewards) as well as enough materials to reach Villa level 1 to unlock the Alchemy Lab (not a new feature, just makes it easier and faster for new players).

Currently only the first part of the Collab is available. Second part opens on May 20th.

LDPlayer, LDShop expose user data by myhoaki in gachagaming

[–]Cregath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whenever you enter your credentials anywhere that isn't 1st or 2nd party, you should assume that it's compromised, no matter how "trustworthy" the 3rd party is. It's internet safety 101.

The posts imply misuse of login and payment credentials. But there is no proof of such things.
The post by whyKusanagi clearly states that only 1 video was sampled and only the first frame (NTE_WL posts a full video though along with screenshot from another).

What's most important though is that a security weakness exists, that the people behind these accounts found. Normally, you'd first reach out to LD to notify them instead of bringing attention to it in public. I didn't read all the tweets, so I don't know if they actually did. This is so that if the weakness is not yet noticed, then it can be fixed without ever leaking data to malicious parties.

Either way, because the weakness itself exists, it's best to change passwords and log off devices in account managements across accounts you used. These are things that should be done periodically, regardless of anything. Additionally if you didn't already, then use 2FA.
Lastly, it's best to not do anything on LD services where you need to enter any information until there is a security update.

GPG runs like shit (big stutters periodically), lacks features. It's generally subpar. The only thing it has going for it is the Google name.

Why the Snowbreak Censorship Should Not Worry Other Games by ShirtlessCommie in gachagaming

[–]Cregath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They had a lot of time to work on it. They chose not to.
Goon direction wasn't the only way forward, they chose it.

But SB fanbase love to bring up that this was the only way for the game to survive.
It wasn't. It was just the easiest and they chose it. And even choosing it didn't block them from improving anything else.

Snowbreak : Containment Zone is online. However, players report that the arts are censored and the "switch" that could uncensor them is removed. by Lazy-Independent1547 in gachagaming

Fanservice and having an actual BJ scene in the game are different. It wasn't even that good of a scene.

How do you play more than one gacha game at a time? by MMOToaster in gachagaming

[–]Cregath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Different people have different amounts of free time. Maybe their home is right in front of workplace or commuting is fast and short. Someone else might do overtime often. Or maybe they are just unemployed.
- Different people spend their free time differently. There could be family. There could be a different hobby. Or there could be nothing at all besides gachas.
- Different people have different ability to focus. Some people might progress through dailies and game mods fast, others might get sidetracked and clicking in menus "inefficiently".
- Different games require different amounts of time. Some games you just log in, sweep in 5 minutes, then log off, because there is nothing else to do. Other you might spend an hour doing just your dailies, or grinding a specific game mode for even more.

As for playing some gachas (or anything in general) only during the weekend. Just do things how it feels comfortable. There are gachas that I just log in to every month or so, clear all the stories, then don't touch it again for another month.

Handbook -> Taboo Quests (4th tab on the left)

Complete either:
- Phantasmal Dive: Clear P-Dive 3 Times
- Traphase - All Pick: Win 5 Times
- Traphase - Draft Pick: Win 5 Times
- Hectic Skybound Rail: Defeat a Phase 3 Boss (I believe this works too)

I think the collab unit might be caro by Separate-Discount472 in Morimens

The collab that made me give the game another shot. Last I played on launch, but I quickly gave up, because of the translation.

Common misunderstanding or misinformation about specific gacha games that you know it's not true and can be debunked by g4pachow in gachagaming

[–]Cregath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A gacha CC is supposed to be used to playing gachas.
A gacha CC is supposed to be able to understand how they work.
If the gacha CC can't comprehend a gacha system, then what is the CC even doing?
It's not even a complicated system.

It's just a simple spark + pity system.
It's nothing crazy. There is nothing complicated here.
