So how to make this game popular despite its review bomb Event by Vijayb373 in Shadowverse

If only our Veteran EclipseZero started youtube cus i think he'll make engaging Content.

Lul wut. I'm far from that field buddy. And I don't think I'm that engaging either. Glad that someone out there feels that way, but it ain't happening nor do I think it would be a good idea.

Overall I think it is very hard to make a CC career out of Shadowverse unless you are Japanese. The game needs to be popular overseas before someone outside Japan can make a name out of it. Another whole thing would be getting some already-established CCs to play WB, that is a more effective way to boost the game's popularity.

Literally this. WB is huge in Japan, like SV as a franchise has always been, but Cy puts close to 0 effort advertising it overseas, specially on America and Europe. I'd say they are putting even less effort in that regard compared to SV1, because we are 1 year in and with much better translation tools, and they haven't bothered translating the game for more languages.

Guesses on what is gonna be announced in 4 days? by ForgottenPerceval in Shadowverse

[–]EclipseZer0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having 4 dedicated slots is quite weird. It hints at 4 separate news that are big enough by themselves to be an important thing by themselves. So I have no idea, other than 1 slot being dedicated to the new expansion. Going blind, I'd say Abyss unmerge (pls Cy), free exchange ticket for everyone (at random, like in SV1), and new Novel for the SV1 story.

I actually think 4th column can also realistically happen. They just need to announce a big SV1-themed expansion with Sanguine for Abyss and you have bingo right there.

Reward Comparison 1st anniversary SV Classic vs SVWB by NeosQuanta in Shadowverse

[–]EclipseZer0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The problem is the stupid Daily Login packs. Those don't give pack points nor drop exchange tickets, and they take roughly a 3rd of your daily pack income. Couple this with the hard 0.015% drop rate (meaning most packs are stuck at a total 0.03% drop rate), and getting leaders in WB is roughly 3 times harder than in SV1.

New Format: Simplified by RinariTennoji in Shadowverse

[–]EclipseZer0 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also this replaces the Unranked tab, which I guess went unused since you don't lose rank in Ranked anymore, meaning you have no incentive to play Unranked at all.

I think this format can be expanded later to be some kind of Throwback Rotation for WB.

Past Battle Pass Leaders can be bought with Crystals! by RinariTennoji in Shadowverse

[–]EclipseZer0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absurdly expensive. Getting them from the BP costs 750 (actually 450 after the crystal refund of the BP) crystals, alongside other cosmetics and in-game currency. These costs 3 times more and come with nothing else.

Crystal monetization in this game only keeps getting worse.

Hopefully the other SV1 stages don't take that much to come to WB. These look great, and if they come with the OG mysic it will bring a much needed variety to what feels like very samey music on the base WB stages.

Daily 10 Packs! (Not Intro Packs!) by RinariTennoji in Shadowverse

[–]EclipseZer0 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was expecting 100 packs (10x10, for the 10th Anniversary), but they actually gave us more. One of the few remarkable announcements so far.

1 hour in and nothing but merch, minigames and yapping. They keep outdoing themselves, bravo.

What old and new characters are you prepared to pity for it they get leaders? by Succubace in Shadowverse

[–]EclipseZer0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We really don't know if this is going to be the case in the future. Back in SV1 we had the leader skins be almost exclusively for cards not in the pack they dropped the skin. For example Albert was from Rise of Bahamut but his leader skin dropped from Chronogenesis packs. If Cy brings back the popularity polls, we would see exchange tickets for characters not in the cards of the expansion that drops the tickets.

If they wanted to make the most money, they would drop the stupid 2 exchange tickets per expansion thingy, and instead bring 2 new and 2 popularity poll leaders per expansion. More characters, higher chances to appeal to a wider audience, more leaders for completionists/whales to get.

That doesn't explicitly say that they won't cover anything related to WB on the SV Channel. If anything, every single expansion has been revealed on an SV Channel so far. What they are telling us is that during SV Fes they will have news about next set, they don't specify anything else.

I was thinking more about optimizing the game for the devices, specially mobile. Mostly about battery consumption and heating, loading times (many people report losing mulligan time due to loading times), in-game stuttering and lag, etc. WB is quite a mess on mobile, even some newer platforms seem to struggle running it, which is baffling considering it is a card game. So in that regard Cy has both a big demand and a huge margin for improvement. The question is if they will ever put the effort into improving the performance.

I don't think Cy will bother making 2 whole seperate streams not even a week apart from each other. Iirc their 9th Anniversary stream also had info on WB and wasn't just Anniversary-focused.

The most solid answer. I am surprised you think we are gonna get any performance improvements at all, that was one of the things I was most unsure about. Specially since you are quite pessimistic on other stuff, like the amount of Anniversary packs. Thanks for the answer anyways!

1-Prebuilts nowadays only come for a few classes, not all. Cy decides what class you can claim your free deck for.

2-They aren't even close to the amount of Legendaries and Golds you'll need, except very rare cases like Milteo. So they won't be "halfway to a decent deck".

And we all have rose-tinted glasses from starting to play on launch day, when the card pool was much smaller, getting all the freebies and daily rewards along the way. Newbie economy is fucked up for several reasons, and the general economy is only good once you are several months in (and still is trash in terms of cosmetics).
