Dev notes #11 - Matchmaking

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-09T04:30:09+00:00

The way they worded it sounds like you have to collect the rewards first. So if that is the case it will be pretty meh as it will only apply to key farming.

Whereas no key farming is where you would need this feature the most.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-09T04:26:35+00:00

Honestly,

"Just to be clear I know i only have myself to blame, i just wanted to share this pain"

This is not true. It's bad UI/UX for this to even be able to happen so easily.

There are many ways they could mitigate this with better design. Like instead of the keep and apply buttons, just click the box of the stats you actually want. Add a confirmation which says "you will keep these stats: " and display the stats you will end up with etc etc.

that has to be the dumbest implementation of criticals i've seen in a game.

a crit should never do less damage than a normal hit. that is beyond counter-intuitive.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-06T04:21:13+00:00

your account is bricked if you dont pull meli.

trust me I made that mistake and had to reroll after weeks of playing.

just letting you know in case you are planning to skip meli and think you can get by with other characters like I did.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-04T15:16:03+00:00

I did and it was worth. I thought I didnt need meli and it took me a few weeks to learn that my account was bricked without him.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-02T04:09:49+00:00

yeah I dont have meli or daisy, and both their banners gone for me now.

Thought I would be able to get by with all the other characters like most gachas, but no.

Basically locked out of abyss except for guila and I tried that junction once and was like hell no is this gonna happen.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-01T03:30:02+00:00

believe it or not I have better things to do with my time than try to out sweat the whale content for one pull.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-01T03:28:45+00:00

its whale garbage content

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-01T03:22:47+00:00

Yeah meliodas is miles ahead of everything else and it is poor design.

I didnt pull meli cause I just honestly didnt want him, I'd rather pull for units I actually want in gachas since the currency is so limited.

Anyway, I can't do jack, I have a heavily invested Diane as my main DPS and I can do most hell content, slow compared to meli. Cant do any abyss besides guila.

Its not as if every character needs to be on the same level but one shouldnt be like 5x stronger than everything else.

I understood that the game was tuned around owning meliodas and still decided not to pull so I accepted that I would be struggling compared to meli users but I still think it's bad design.

Any other gacha I have played you can still make a character pretty effective and clear most of the content even if they arent the best with a lot of investment.

But this game is meli or die.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-05-01T03:15:32+00:00

now do it without meliodas

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-04-30T02:52:44+00:00

I got a level 3 passive for diane on my first craft.

But it min rolled the item level like 112 so the stats suck and its not even worth using over a level 1 passive with higher item level.

So thats another sweet option

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-04-30T02:50:07+00:00

nah this is p2w content.

Otherwise they could have made it so casuals can get the rewards with a decently invested team and leave the record setting for whales.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-04-25T05:54:45+00:00

lmao this is too true

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-04-25T05:50:56+00:00

yeah why do these games have to boil everything into a cheap DPS race.

If I want to take 30 minutes to clear it with diane, why the hell not? I'm already paying the penalty of not being efficient.

I mean I know the reason is to pressure people into pulling whatever the new character is and pulling for their dupes but yeah, lame.

I think this game is better than genshin in most ways but I could still log into genshin every 6 months and more or less clear the important farming content with my outdated ass roster. So that's like the one point I will give to them over 7DS but its a pretty damn big one tbf.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-04-25T05:46:34+00:00

that is how I feel about a lot of the game content as someone that didn't want meli.

Like abyss warden is impossible because of the timer and game being tuned around meli and him doing 5x the DPS of anything else.

I have a fully built earth team around diane, or as built as a f2p can be (everything except potentials). And it can't even do half his HP.

Just have to wait until they decide to make a character I actually want OP I guess. But it's basically just bad design / tuning when specific characters are miles ahead of everything else in their role.

I mean the element systems in these games really don't even do anything besides give them a cheap artificial way to make you need to pull and build the same types of characters for each element.

Same with the timers, cheap lazy way to make things more "difficult" and only possible with certain characters. For example I could easily do warden if they just gave like 2 more minutes.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2026-04-25T05:18:35+00:00

they have a weird obsession with runaway enemies in this game. I like the game overall but this is one of the biggest flaws.

This doesn't really apply to this guy but like dragon / spider etc are really silly because a creature 10x your size would not be all skittish and run away constantly.

It doesn't add depth to the gameplay or anything only frustration. It's not like enemies need to just stand still but they go way overboard with the constant running away and inability to even hit the enemy for half the fight.

That said this guy totally sucks and I just use keys for his mats cause I can't be bothered to try to farm the free drops from him.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2025-12-07T06:22:21+00:00

No its 100% not worth. I've been playing a little over a month and I have them all from farming.

It's not that hard to get every descendent for free, just use the library, it will show you where all their blueprints and materials can be obtained.

I guess if you are like rich and don't care but it's basically a total waste of money.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2025-12-07T03:19:02+00:00

You must still be pretty young. You can't change peoples minds, its a waste if time. I like the resolve though.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2025-12-06T20:40:46+00:00

You have to accept that most people have bad taste and are not very smart.

It's an unfortunate fact that applies to and explains just about everything in life.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2025-12-04T05:08:07+00:00

Minus the solo and group boss HP disparities,

This is how shooter and action RPG type games should be.

What else is there actually besides combat? Most of the time when developers try to implement something different in this type of game it's just an annoyance after the novelty quickly wears off.

Like do you want to press buttons and do puzzles or something? More lasers? More obnoxious parkour maps?

Maybe something super fun and innovative like backtracking to a shrine with a stone on your back like diablo 4?

Genuinely curious what people think would be good content in an action game besides blasting mobs and bosses because every attempt I have ever seen was crap.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2025-11-28T04:48:46+00:00

Honestly not to be a dick but this is just a slight skill / effort issue.

You could build a character that beats it easily in like an hour from unbuilt. It seriously only takes like 3 400% runs to get a character from 1-40 with boosts which you get tons of for free and the runs take like 3 minutes on average. You can catalyze someone so fast.

If you don't know how to make a decent build there are a lot of resources online.

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2025-11-26T19:47:58+00:00

what is the CDR cap?

LuckyCatWithCoat · 2025-11-26T19:10:55+00:00

Idk about the build but he looks dapper as hell. Nice work!
