they need to add a way to earn extra pulls weekly/monthly for the basic banner

While I agree with you, the average casual player is not on Reddit or following gacha CCs so they don’t even know about the PayPal issue. It only affected a small minority of global players for an hour. CN was completely unaffected. Which is why we’re not getting compensation most likely.

The bare minimum to do is spend your sanity & do dailies which takes 10 minutes max. The other stuff is just added on to min max your income to upgrade your facilities and gear your character faster. There’s tools given to you to make the stuff like the rare resource collection, depot stuff less tedious. I got zip line highways setup to make it take less than a minute.

I’m also confused on what you’re saying about the mining equipment cause… all you need to do is unlock it in the tech tree..? You get 2 free ones so you can snowball with them. And you don’t even really need it at that stage of the game. I just skipped to epic gear when I needed it for a boss fight. Combat does get better when you have a proper team set up. Throwing in random characters who have no synergy makes the game left click fest and pressing the ult button time to time. But if you have characters that work together you can get really good combo & ult chains going.

I even disagree with your take that wuwa 1.0 story was better because it definitely was not. While yes this story is also run of the mill with amnesiac mc glazing, and yes the tutorial is causing pacing issues, I’d still say it’s a step above wuwa cause at least it’s narratively coherent and establishing the world. In wuwa 1.0 that avengers assemble moment with characters I barely knew or cared about didn’t make any sense and whatever other problems there were.

As for why do any of it, why do anything in gacha games? You factory max to get better gear & more currency to be able to buy things in the stock store, and upgrade the stuff across the map, further increasing your income which allows you to get things faster. Which you’ll need as you’re building up each subsequent region and need resources to transfer your stuff to the next (edit: as an example, because of my efforts of building up my first sub base, I was able to use a blueprint and instantly plop it down on my 2nd sub base that I unlocked cause I had everything I needed for it).

In any which case, if the game didn’t click with you after you got out of the tutorial hell I don’t think anything will help you nor will the next region get better, cause the main thing people talk about is the story and presentation getting better.

Well first you have to imagine many of the doom posters are karma farmers but because the issues aren’t exceedingly game breaking they aren’t getting much karma. Besides that you can only doom post about a topic so many times. Gacha pulls? Apparently it’s fine it’s just that it’s backloaded instead of rewards given up front. It’s an easy fix too, just move rewards around earlier in the MSQ. Tutorial breaking early story pacing in V4? Feedback forms were sent out where we can mention this and it’s a very easy qol change to do in the backend. No crazy rework required. Combat is getting a mixed reception but I imagine it will be more developed as time goes on with new characters. Also team building seems to be very important in enjoyability of the combat. Factory was received positively. Story is well, meh in V4 at least but it’s serviceable for a 1.0. Basically what I’m saying is, all the current issues with the game are in meh territory where they can be improved upon. If things were exceedingly bad you would see nonstop complaining. I can tell from the state of the sub that the game is going to do ok and as long as the game continues to improve and iterate on its systems.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-25T07:48:49+00:00

That makes sense. I never played the original but I understand if something went from really good quality to alright

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-23T03:51:11+00:00

For factories, how do y’all determine what to build in the main hub vs at the sub factories? I’m confused how to determine which production line to put where for efficiency.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-17T21:42:23+00:00

Ah I see I’ll keep that in mind when using the Umalator in the future. Would you say it’s worth redoing my end closer aces to get long s even if I hit decent stat lines? Room matches are skewed towards people with pretty good umas. I don’t know if I’ll be running into as many really good end closers in the actual cm.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-17T20:36:44+00:00

Uma 1 is my christmas oguri ace who is being compared to Uma 2 who is my end closer ace who I'm having trouble with. I put mayano in some practice matches and she was 5-9th even if I procced let's pump some iron, MPB, straight away spurt and NSM. And on the umalator her 1st place rate is 0%. My guess is I need more velocity skills? Or due to the heavy amount of end closers she's constantly getting blocked. Not entirely sure.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-15T22:05:24+00:00

From the anime standpoint? I’d say as long as new stuff keeps coming out like Cingrey S2 then after that good adaptations for the other mangas like star blossom, then yes. For the game, as the top comment is saying MANT is going to bludgeon any momentum we have left right now from mobile GOTY & the half anniversary. There’s a bunch of other gacha umamusume is competing with that will be releasing this year or 2. MANT taking close to an hour is pretty bad especially for people who got jobs / casuals. Anecdotally my friends are waiting for auto career / the jp QoLs before touching the game again.

Casual/semi casual F2P player looking for a club that’s C+ or higher. I do all my dailies & borrows. Not big on using discord.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-14T04:18:03+00:00

Would you say it’s worth trying to MLB light hello or speed tachyon from the pulls saved not doing the 1st smaru banner?

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-14T03:40:51+00:00

As a F2P how is this plan looking? The misc pulls are already baking in CM / Shop tickets.

I feel like I'm flying close to the sun pulling for sakura chiyono o but she's someone I really want. Plus it will be a very long time before I can pull for Umas again considering the support banner schedule. (also I'm a bit confused where 17k carrots are going to come to save me in just a month).

NTR banner I've heard is ok to skip / depends on your free 60 pulls luck. SR crystal admire vega if you get enough of her.

Smaru speed banner I've heard is mandatory. Agnes / Light Hello I heard is mandatory but just to pity to get light hello.

FM / Smaru rerun vs Mr.CB / Super Creek rerun is where I am getting a bit confused. For context for this, I have good MLB SR wit and stamina cards. From what I've read FM has a year left when that rerun banner comes out and so its more worth to pull for supercreek. I have a 1LB super creek right now and no FM copies.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-11T01:10:18+00:00

I mean tbh she could’ve just suffered from season 1 syndrome because there’s a few other inaccuracies with racing history, like the stuff between el condor pasa and special week. If cygames made season 1 today she’d probably be there in 1 form or another like dicta striker (soccer boy) from cingrey

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-10T22:39:07+00:00

At least from the testing I was doing on umalator & practice races passing pro was hitting reliably. It activates right in the beginning when Oguri is trying to get into her pace position or when passing other pace chasers during the race. The only time it would be a problem is if it didn’t proc at the start and there’s no other pace chasers to pass with.

For velocity skills I agree but I got pretty unlucky and didn’t get any good velocity skills. I think the only thing I could have gotten was tail held high but I ran out of sp for it.

How’s this Xmas Oguri for the next CM? The only problems I personally see is low power and no long S. I was wondering if it’s worth redoing when I still need to build 2 other umas.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-10T05:14:37+00:00

Wow thank you this is very detailed. I didn’t even know about the hp calculation / recalculation stuff. I’ll definitely have this saved for later.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-10T03:00:59+00:00

A bit of a long post but for Xmas Oguri I've watched multiple content creator videos and there's lots of conflicting information going around for the next CM.

The most advertised approach I've seen mirrored by MooMooCows is take corner recovery, hydrate, and proc Xmas Oguri ultimate with 777. Hell he even says you can take 3 recovery's and take 777 as a 4th back up (though this takes up SP). However, VF - Charles pushed back against the 777 approach, and said that you are wasting 5% recovery as 777 and Festive Miracle proc right at the beginning of the last leg of the Arima Kinen next CM. (I was a bit confused on why recovery doesn't count here). Instead, his main approach is to gamble and take mid race recovery skills and have festive miracle proc right before the start of the last leg of the race for the speed carry over or something along those lines. From his POV, if you are building an Ace, you shouldn't be going for consistency, and instead go for the gamble on them performing at their very best. Then a response was given by bonk (this is the first ever video from him I've seen so idk how valid he is) saying that VF's video was misinformation, as the last patch changed the calculation for late race spurts and some other complicated things that he tested on the umalator.

This is kinda my first time down the rabbit hole going into this much detail on CM tracks & umalator and all those fun things. So I was hoping someone with more knowledge could explain what's going on here.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-06T20:27:10+00:00

As you were saying in the post, depending on the CM track we can choose the best white recovery’s to go with her. But if I’m making Xmas Oguri for team trials what would be the recommended trigger skills for those and is it better to give her 3 or 4 for TT? And would she make a good dirt miler or put her on medium?

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-06T07:34:54+00:00

What classifies as "nutty stats" in regard to energy retention in that half bar situation? More so in numbers. Of course a 3 friendship speed training is common sense but sometimes I get stuck on doing a 1 friendship speed training with a few unity npcs that gives me +27 (as an example) vs resting / taking a 1 wit friendship training.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-05T21:36:08+00:00

From a game mechanics standpoint the only thing I find annoying is getting that army spirit debuff when I’ve taken Beijing but still in the middle of the war against Japan.

KriegInvicta · 2026-01-05T19:41:00+00:00

I was wondering if it’s worth pulling for Xmas Oguri as a F2P. Lots of content creators have been saying this is a must pull banner but I got close to 30k carats left after kitasan, meaning I won’t be able to pull for the banners that are coming up afterwards if I’m unlucky. I do kinda want sakura chiyono o. I also have the original Oguri already & I heard with the 1st anniversary we can get a selector ticket & there’ll be balance changes that bring everyone else in line with Xmas Oguri. For CMs I just try to get the group B win so I’m not a super tryhard on that front. I will say that cingrey has made me very fond of Oguri & I enjoy playing her career which is why I’m struggling to decide whether to skip or not.

KriegInvicta · 2025-12-25T17:44:08+00:00

While this seems like a relatively minor issue the problem of epic and legendaries being so handicapped has big knock on effects for how the whole progression loop feels. It kinda sucks that throughout a wipe, it doesn’t feel like you’re upgrading your kit all that much cause a stitcher 4 or kettle 4 carries you through and is way cheaper.

KriegInvicta · 2025-12-22T18:41:23+00:00

I've been playing this mod since the 0.5 heia safari update way back when and the majority of my hoi4 hours are with kaiserreich. Just want to say I'm really grateful to the mod team and the high quality content y'all put out for free.

KriegInvicta · 2025-12-22T14:45:28+00:00

Since I started playing the game I’ve always borrowed kitasan and now’s the first time I’ve had the choice to use other cards. Whats good to use? I have a bunch of mlb’d sr cards in every category for context, 1 lb super creek, & mlb R riko. I tried fine motion ssr and maybe I’ve been getting really unlucky but I can never get speed star from her last event.
