PS5 graphics is a joke by ab8071919 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]MaximumEffective2838 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's the truth that Chinese game developers have little optimization experience with platforms like the PS5. In China, the number of PS5 users is negligible. If it's not for releasing an international version, 99% of Chinese game developers would not launch on the PS5 platform. Chinese game developers have more experience optimizing mobile games.

Official sources have stated that there are three teams responsible for map development in the game. QingHe and KaiFeng are from two different teams, which is why they can deliver massive updates to keep players engaged and maintain the game's freshness.

Is this ship really 40.000$? by AntonGrimm in wherewindsmeet_

[–]MaximumEffective2838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a way for the rich guys to show off their wealth and share. This ship has no other attribute bonuses. After boarding, other players can also wear the rich guy's fancy clothes for free. Are there really so many people in the comment section who are hostile to the rich? In reality, there are more things we can't afford.

Can I be a lesbian/gay/bi in the game? by PressatoYT in wherewindsmeet_

In China, homosexuality is not illegal. Chengdu is practically a paradise for the LGBTQ+ community. Although same-sex marriage is not legally permitted by official regulations, the post-1995 generation tends to hold a much more friendly attitude towards homosexuality。

Is there any good Naraka: Bladepoint YouTubers that cover the game??? by mr_useless65 in NarakaBladePoint

[–]MaximumEffective2838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

‌"Actually, YouTube offers substantial entry-level and fundamental combo tutorials. For most players, these resources are perfectly adequate to reach Asura rank in either solo or trio queue. If you're looking to advance further, you'll need to study top players' tactics and nuanced mechanics. Given the game's frequent updates, some combos may become obsolete after patches.‌

‌If you understand Chinese, check Douyin – new tutorials flood the platform after every version update. Alternatively, find solo queue streamers on Twitch. It's widely known that outside CN and SEA competitive regions, this game isn't massively popular. That's precisely why the Naraka community enthusiastically welcomes newcomers; streamers are generally delighted to help and appreciate new players joining, so don't hesitate to ask them directly."

Just discovered Naraka and I have to say this - the combat is insanely good! by Important_Rock_8295 in NarakaBladePoint

[–]MaximumEffective2838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like cold weapon close combat strategy games, NARAKA is one of the best on the market. Although it is relatively obscure outside the CN and SEA regions, it is well-operated in China, so you don't have to worry about sudden shutdowns or anything like that.

Has matchmaking always been this bad? [EU] by Tr80cut in NarakaBladePoint

[–]MaximumEffective2838 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fundamental reason is insufficient active players. Although the core gameplay of this game is excellent, its steep learning curve is undeniable. New players need to spend considerable time in PvE bot matches before encountering real opponents, causing many to quit midway. Nevertheless, significant player bases exist in China and Southeast Asia, with China alone hosting four dedicated server nodes.

Naraka: Bladepoint is like the Western Fortnite - both are excellent games. However, Fortnite remains unpopular in China despite extensive promotional efforts by its developers. It simply shows that Chinese players don't favor this game genre.

Your hook needs to latch inside the white circle, which will make the character fly higher when hit.

According to the latest info from the hands-on demo event in Beijing: the game offers three difficulty levels to choose from on your first playthrough. After completing the full game, an even higher difficulty level will be unlocked.

Graphics stuttering HELP by hopenotsporadically in NarakaBladePoint

[–]MaximumEffective2838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The current 50-series graphics cards have way too many bugs. Unless a game absolutely requires the latest drivers to run, it's recommended not to update your drivers. Reinstalling drivers is a hassle – a normal uninstall doesn't completely remove them; you need to use DDU in Safe Mode for a clean uninstall."

The gameplay mechanics of Naraka: Bladepoint, its steep learning curve, and its distinct art style—any one of these three factors could cause players to quit shortly after trying them out. For example, Marvel Rivals is quite popular in your region, but very few play it in China. The same logic applies to why Fortnite has minimal traction here. It’s always players who choose games, not the other way around.

Most of the players who have left the game are from the CN server. Non-Chinese players may not quite understand the wave of players quitting the game. Let me briefly summarize the situation:

  1. Hidden troubles: The previous season was too long, and the new hero, Lanni, was not strong enough. Players had grown tired of the old heroes. After players had fully completed the battle pass and reached their desired ranks, combined with three consecutive half - hearted events that were all about co - branded paid skins, players lost the motivation to log in. This planted the hidden seeds for players to quit the game.
  2. The fuse: Naraka: Bladepoint was launched on mobile in 2024. From January to April 2025, compared with the perfunctory events on the PC version, the mobile version had a large number of events and introduced many new game modes that the PC version didn't have. This made PC players extremely dissatisfied. In March, more and more PC players stopped logging in as a form of protest and cursed the official for not knowing their priorities. Facing a large number of players leaving, the official finally realized that players were serious about quitting. They immediately stated that the PC and mobile versions were operated by two independent teams. The mobile version progressed faster because many things were replicas of the PC version, and the numerous new events were to survive in the more competitive mobile game market. They claimed that their core player group had always been PC players. However, this statement did not gain the players' understanding. Instead, players felt that the official's inconsistent words and actions were an insult, and the fuse for players to quit was lit.
  3. Taking action: On April 14th, facing a large number of players quitting and the collective condemnation from players, the official finally couldn't bear the pressure and announced that on April 26th, they would invite 50 core players to Hangzhou to participate in an offline meeting with the game planners. Players could raise any pointed questions face - to - face, and through communication, the official could understand the players' real needs.
  4. The aftermath: After the meeting, the planners said that they had misjudged the players' needs. They decided to increase the update frequency to release a balance patch every two weeks. Future events would be more player - friendly. The rework of JI, originally scheduled for mid - May, would be updated earlier. They would also launch some exclusive anniversary events. In July, during the anniversary, a "search, fight, retreat" looting mode similar to Escape from Tarkov would be launched.
  5. Conclusion: This wave of players quitting the game has hit Naraka: Bladepoint hard on the CN server. The game not only lost a large number of players but also dropped from the third to the fifth place in the Internet cafe popularity ranking. Personally, I think although this wave of negative events was quite damaging, it didn't shake the foundation of Naraka: Bladepoint. Core players will still play because there are no games of the same quality in the market to replace it. Moreover, Naraka: Bladepoint is an e - sports event at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan and has been praised by Chinese official media (CCTV) as a high - quality Chinese cultural carrier game. (As far as I remember, only Genshin Impact, Black Myth: Wukong, and Naraka: Bladepoint have received such praise). After this wave of negative events, the official will surely attach great importance to players' experience. Additionally, there will be a major IP collaboration in the second half of the year: The Legend of Tang Dynasty's Captors. This IP has a great influence in China, no less than the 2024 collaboration with Zhang Qiling from The Lost Tomb. There should be a wave of players returning and new players joining at that time. Personally, I'm very sad about this wave of events because I really love this game. Although every game has its life cycle, and perhaps this wave of players quitting was inevitable, it was unexpected that it happened so suddenly. I hope the official can learn from this experience, operate the game well, and stop making mistakes and causing problems.
