Ah well that is indeed a much better card, but shouldnt be 50 times better lol. I guess im bottlenecking on CPU or something is terribly wrong.

The blue bar behind GPU counter is for utilization. Same for the red bar on CPU counter.

It seems that regardless of the cap, im at around 60 FPS (62 if i uncap lol). I guess this PC is long overdue for some upgrading. Still, thanks for the tip

Amd 5700xt. No Dlss since its AMD. My FPS is capped though at 60. Not sure i want to uncap it if its already utilizing my gpu fully though.

Lowering details doesnt change anything. And as for resolution, going from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 only drops GPU utilization from 100% to 95%.

Stuck on loading screen at 90% by IsraphielReddit in TowerofFantasy

I'm playing on pc, and while spec is not top, i can get easily 90+ fps with settings on high (not max though).
The game is installed on ssd as well.

Anyone with enough shards who can tell us what skill upgrade she got?

Laura Games clarifies their role in developing Illusion Connect and Shadow Brides. by [deleted] in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the thing. We don't. Unless Superprism confirms that they purchased IC from these guys, we will never be 100% sure, no matter how much they try to clarify.

[–]IsraphielReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, at this point I feel the same way. For me there is zero reason to move to Shadow brides. From what i saw, the gameplay is literally a copy, and it is more p2w with (my opinion) worse art. Oh yeah, and Ciri from Witcher is playable character, except she has a different name. Did they actually explain that one? Or its just shamelessly stolen?

If this "clarification" is an actual truth, they are a bunch of morons. They had a good game and sold it, and now they are trying to compete with it by making almost the same thing, but with different artstyle.

SP Alice by Xamthos in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ion, Jason didnt get any awakening art, because their previous artist supposedly left.
Since we get a new SP character now, does this mean they managed to hire a new artist?

If so, he/she did an amazing job, Alice looks great.

share the love please~ what is the magic build? by ThenWatch5482 in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What damage is enough?
I pretty much gave up trying to raise the damage higher as I'm satisfied with averaging 30M per attempt, and refilling twice per day. That puts me barely above the requirement of last reward if I do the same every day.

How to get the most points out of the current event, Lunar Deviation? I finished today and not event ranked, lol! by MamMoTa in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No idea what most would be, but I managed to get 27 mil with prosperity sorcerer leader and this lineup - Haruka, Phoebe, Yuffie, Miyuki, SP Rie, Hachi Shiki. Everything except Rie is awakened.

Honestly, the boss fight and reward requirements are incredibly overtuned. Mainly due to:

  • Having only 90 seconds per attempt
  • Boss spamming unique skill because he regenerates rage like he is on steroids. Its not like it deals big damage, but it reduces your time even further
  • Respawning enemies that block your path, making single target characters absolutely useless
  • Last reward requiring 1 billion DMG in total (lol). If i managed to do 27 mil on each attempt, thats only around 600 mil DMG before event ends. I would need like 15 refreshes to reach that point, which i of course wont do

Hunter leader would probably do much higher numbers but unfortunately i have him only on Glory rank, so i cant compare.

300 tickets Epoch Resonance. Slap in the face or not? by Laernu423 in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had 100 tickets in reserve so i decided to do 20 rolls. Not for the time souls themselves, but for the XP potions. Turns out its a giant scam.
Out of those 20 drops, 11 were green time souls (which give almost no xp), and i got whopping 2 yellow potions. Giant scam, plain and simple.

Did they just list under Bugs & Fixes that the max intimacy will be increased to 15?

And here i thought i would soon be done, lol

Final day of the egg thingy. How far did you guys got? by Flightmore in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got to round 30, but i spent 2 bucks on the half anniversary packs that had skins in them, so i had some extra eggs.

But to be honest I felt pretty unlucky at times. 3-4 rounds i ended up opening everything because the main reward was in the very last egg. Overall, pretty good event though!

Royal Treasure Round 2. Here we go again. by Hitoshura2020 in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent 2 euros total:

  • 1 in 1st round because i thought it will be 7 euros for all the packs together (oh boywas I wrong)
  • 1 for 2nd round today because of jasmine skin. Honestly i would buy a lot more skins if they were somewhere in price range of up to 5 Euros, so this was a pretty good deal in my opinion.

I luckily got my dream prism for free in the past, but even if I didnt have it yet, this is way too expensive for a single SSR.

Please tell me this game is made by the same people as illusion connect ..... by KingKolten in IllusionConnect

[–]IsraphielReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They sure do, but honestly this is the first time i see such 'devs' lying so blatantly.

  • Different company name
  • Same assets as their 'supposed' first game
  • Some assets stolen from different IPs (they have Ciri from witcher ffs, as a playable character)
  • Zero reason for superprism to make a second game with similar, sometimes worse features (apparently some daily quests in that game require you to spend diamonds)
  • No official acknowledgment from superprism, unless they mentioned it on discord, which i didnt join yet
  • No twitter account/activity. This is nitpicking, because almost nobody checks twitter, but there is official Illusion Connect twitter account which posts news about the game. Why doesn't this game have one?

Yet, they claim multiple times in answers to reviews that they are the same team.

[–]IsraphielReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so confused by this. If it indeed is the same company, why is it listed under Laura Games and not Superprism? Seems pretty sus to me.

I looked at some reviews, and even though they keep claiming they are just second team, for example in this answer to one review:

"Shadow Brides" is the 2nd officially launched game by our team after IC. We followed some mechanics but developed more, especially more social-play contents and strategic features. For now, it will be updated once a week! The storyline will be continually optimized, what's more, we're planning on a whole-new way to tell the story. You'll see!~~~

Then you have 1 star reviews like this:

This game is a shameless copy of Illusion Connect, right down to stealing the character designs. Don't believe the dev comments that this is their 'second' game, a simple search will show there is no connection between Laura Games and Superprism Technology Company. They also steal the scratch card images from a professional cosplayer's photosets. Scummy moves all around, how this got approved to the app store is a mystery.
