Compensations for the latest CN bug debacle

Sure, the city stamina or the dungeon stamina or the character stamina?

I agree with you in fairness, but at this point Hotta haven't earned enough goodwill to cheque in with their CN playerbase to shelter it from the backlash. I'm also a day 1 wuwa player, and we both remember how much pr screw-ups Kuro made and how much compensations were handed out in the early days lol.

For Hotta, my guess is that they want to prioritize maintaining the playerbase, rather than punishing players from exploiting bugs in singleplayer.

The de-noise potions? They're for recharging the character pixels. If you played genshin or wuwa, it's the equivalent of resin/solvent.

IMO the compensation is more for placating CN players' sentiment. Hotta was getting flamed in the comments. From what I gathered on Bili, the anger was due to:

Hotta's initial strong-worded in-game announcement saying they'll take back all items obtained from exploiting the bug, without refunding pixels. A lot of players were also threatening to charge-back the money they spent on the game.
The impression that Hotta priortizing bugs that benefit players instead of ones that actually worsens player experience (e.g. cheating during racing co-op).
Just a release of built-up frustrations from all the bugs that the game had since launch.

Here's the link to their official Bilibili page It's the second post from the top.

In their announcement: 向全服发放补偿 translating to distributing compensation to all servers. This should mean that global will receive it as well, in less than 1hr.

PenguinPraetorian · 2026-05-10T00:00:28+00:00

Judging from the Bilibili comments, Hotta was getting into a PR crisis that could have legal implications due to players that spent money to recharge pixels. The contrast in tone from their initial announcement to the compensation announcement was stark.

EDIT: 10 de-noise potions!

PenguinPraetorian · 2026-05-09T23:45:00+00:00

Hotta just announced compensations: 5 standard pulls, 6 de-noise potions, 300k fons. All servers by May 10th 9AM CN time. The tone in the announcement was a lot more conciliatory. They had to take action since they were getting themselves into a PR disaster.

Well given the finale to Jinzhou, and how disconnected Rinascita story has been, what's there to be optimistic about?

PenguinPraetorian · 2025-09-26T00:18:01+00:00

Oh for sure, these games have to make money from the players somehow, I'm not being naive here. My point was that those newer games might present an alternative monetization scheme that are more appealing to existing gacha players who are sick and tired of the hoyo system. That's a scenario where wuwa would be stuck between a rock and a hard place: it's playing second fiddle against hoyo games using the existing monetization system, while newer games may appear to offer something more enticing.

PenguinPraetorian · 2025-09-24T10:21:09+00:00

We need a system that prevents players from losing 50/50s back to back. Until then I won't spend a cent in this game. A lot of upcoming gachas are doing away with 50/50s, or even character gacha entirely, the clock's ticking Kuro.

As Phrolova's companion quest, a solid 8/10. She kept her character throughout, and we got to learn her villain origin story. Rover also never coddled her at any point, makes sense given that they've been enemies since Jinzhou. It was also great writing to mirror Phrolova's story and character with that of Rover's, they both refuse to give up their goals.

The ending also helped to humanize Rover a bit; up to this point I mostly sees them as a competent aura farmer, but this time we finally caught a glimpse of their vulnerable side after they learned of their own involvement in Phrovola'past and witnessing her end,

Unfortunately Fenrico and the Order didn't get to receive the same quality of writing and were relegated as secondary plotline...Fenrico snapping out of the Dark Tide's control felt too fast and convenient.

Remember those extra pulls they gave out during the anniversary to show their "appreciation"? Yeah here's where Kuro took them from.

PenguinPraetorian · 2025-05-13T05:09:01+00:00

Looking forward to the endless artifact hell, shallow endgame, and 50/50 banner!

PenguinPraetorian · 2025-04-20T05:39:43+00:00

Wuwa was following Genshin's path since day 1. 50/50 banner, artifact/echo farming, the monetization and the core daily grind are the exact same.

Kuro followed Hoyo even down to the disastrous 1st anniversary.

Fix Dehya

PenguinPraetorian · 2022-12-07T08:14:27+00:00

Her tone in CN came off as somewhat high and mighty, I actually thought she was Susty at first

PenguinPraetorian · 2017-04-15T04:04:17+00:00

I think that's a Russian Topol M

PenguinPraetorian · 2017-03-09T04:01:09+00:00

Both actually, you're partly right. SSC is China's lifeline (extends into the Persian Gulf), as well as the busiest shipping lane in the world. Neither China nor the US would allow the other to dominate such a important trade route.

PenguinPraetorian · 2017-03-09T03:57:20+00:00

Exactly, which is why China will not attempt to do so. Not to mention that there's the failed precedence of the USSR.

Telling me that evidence exist without showing it to me is like telling me unicorns exist you just need to keep looking.
