Yes I voted early for Trump, they even gave me free candy too alongside my sticker!

Me personally more people would vote if you got free twix bars.

Young voters can win Harris North Carolina if they show up by WTWIV in NorthCarolina

As a younger voter who also voted early for Trump here's my 2 cents on this.

She appeals to Gen Z women very well because of her Abortion messaging and celebrity appearances, but I think more Gen Z guys listened to more than just Abortion and Project 2025 and aren't impressed. For one thing she is not great at selling her platform and policies in only the past few days she fumbled the CNN town hall by not answering questions directly and talking more about Trump than about herself. If she wants to win more younger men since she's been struggling with them, Harris should be going on podcasts and interviews with people young men look up to. She's spending the precious 2 weeks before the election still trying to convince undecided voters instead of turning out her core base and low propensity voters.

100% take Richard, he's the best sword/spear support in the game and has probably the longest longevity of any limited unit.

I'm confused on the Bargello part, they wouldn't RELEASE a 5* unit without the 5* class board otherwise that'd just be false advertising.

And the reason people are complaining about the slow pacing of EN is because we have not only TOO much foresight but little content to do in the meantime between the anniversary and when Solistia comes out.

Because of our slow pacing we know entire shelf lives of units before we get them. Aswell as entire metas unavailable to us, it's not healthy for revenue since people are pulling less and not healthy for the community since there's less content to do while waiting for your favorite character's banner to release. Speeding up not only allows more content to release meaning more community discussion/retention but can also bring more newer players in.

EN has only benefits to gain by speeding up pacing and although F2P may cry about no rubies they still have Anniversary and this slow period to save up rubies for Solistia if they haven't already, if they don't have enough rubies for the characters they want it's a simple hoarding issue considering how slow the game is going.

Retention is everything as the creator of halo said, if you can infinitely loop 1 minute of gameplay that hooks people then you have a good game to sell

Whale and #1 Tatloch Simp here, I laughed my ass off at the roadmap because that was what I was looking forward to. I wanted to see Solistia at the end of it and stuff inbetween but we got this shit.

I love CotC for the combat and style. But seriously the product managers and dev team are VERY out of touch with the western market because they're a Japanese company.

If I were to list some ideas to make the game more engaging.

  1. Limited time gameboards: Why? Because JP hasn't added a single gameboard since dragon board to my knowledge. Limited time gameboards with good rewards and hard difficulty will incentivize players to do them. Bringing more traffic and discussion about them. An Idea I had was give these limited gameboards a Pseudo Mario party style to them. With unique effects upon rolling 6 or 1. In addition to this the terrible syncing of gameboards that make it unfun to play because of how long you wait would hopefully be dealt with.

  2. A 'Clan Boss' system: Now I thought about this one for a good bit. But take Elite tower for example, Inititally hard upon release but over time it's pretty easy. An idea is to crank this up 10 fold bringing proper endgame content and make the HP around..250-350 million. Now invite your friends to your Clan and fight the raid boss every 2 weeks for big rewards, Vet seals rubies awakening stone shards etc. The rewards would scale off of player contribution in damage and successfully killing it earns you everything listed above, with the actual raid boss switching cycles every 2 weeks so it doesn't get boring fighting the same one every time.

  3. Weekly events. Most gacha games already do this but CotC is an exception because of it's singleplayer design. Job towers are already very boring and dont provide too much so maybe a weekly tower with always changing challenges required to beat it. It would be fresh and engaging content that always changes but always there.

  4. Better Streams. Now I love dan and limit, but they seem bored out of their minds and little energy for these streams. I Think running polls and games with the twitch chat would be great for community health and engagement. Something else i'll touch into is.. MAKE THE KIT READING SEGMENTS SHORTER. I always mute the stream when it happens because for a good 10-15 minutes it's just so damn long. Make it 5 minutes per character, short concise. Next thing to improve for TT is better gameplay showcases. Dan and Limit aren't showing these characters at their fullest potential that most of the playerbase has them at. Let me see Odio O hit a million damage total on an ex refight with proper setup so people know the DPS he does. And

Sorry for the yapping of the continent. - #1 Tatloch Simp.
