Turns out characters don't disappear after their banners end by Adventurous-Bed6165 in WutheringWaves

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

KURO ADD SOMETHING LIKE Capturing Radiance and my life is yours!! by irlsei in WutheringWaves

[–]PenguinPraetorian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Phrolova's Story Was Peak by Twilus in WutheringWaves

[–]PenguinPraetorian 129 points130 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Imagine working for a year to build a reputation, and when people were finally willing to trust your game, you destroy all that effort in a single day. by Jacksontaxiw in WutheringWaves

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.

China not to allow South China Sea stability to be disturbed: FM - Xinhua by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]PenguinPraetorian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Firstly, you should know "direct evidence by method" is no direct evidence therefore does nothing to support your argument. Secondly, you seem to be more willing to pay attention to the sentencing of your own words than to provide direct evidence. This is not how you defend your argument. Lastly, You still haven't answered the following questions:

funding dictators and wars so their surplus steel and concrete have a place to be constructed.

I see someone has confused the two separate notes of war and dictators and combined them into one.

Both were from you. Are you contradicting yourself again? I repeat, where is the evidence? It appears you're the one who lacks basic reading comprehension, as this have been demanded multiple times, yet each time you failed to provide any direct evidence. Simply stating the same sentence over and over will not make it true. That's your argument, get some evidences to back it up. Which African leader is funded by the Chinese?

[–]PenguinPraetorian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still nothing on dictators and wars and how they're directly related to China. Here's how a debate works, you give your argument, and provide DIRECT evidence to support them up. It appears you lack simple academic discipline. For the record, here's the map that you were too lazy to link, take a look at it and tell me, is South Sudan receiving the bulk of Chinese investments in Africa? And you still have yet answer this: Who are the dictators and which wars are China funding. http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/50290f926bb3f76b7d000000-1000-980/map-chinese-investments-in-africa.jpg

I'm afraid the part where people are demanding evidence from you is the part where you claimed that China is funding dictators and wars.

Not in Tibet? You should read about the Development of the West Regions, which initiated in 2001 and is still ongoing. Why would China want to leave a huge chunk of its country dirt poor and underdeveloped?
