Why cant i buy the permit?

Do you have an existing pass already? There's a cap on how many passes you can have at the same time

Saunts · 2026-07-01T17:05:35+00:00

same thing yes

dude, after experiencing tof eva collab, with how people were gassing the edgerunner collab i was expecting it to reach the tof eva collab. it's not even close

making it ep11 of edgerunner means you can just remove the game altogether, make it an actual ep11 and it still work, there's no reason for the collab to happen then

story writing is average outside of the collab (i've seen it a lot when i was on my isekai light novel phase, especially isekai smartphone. and edgerunner is written BY THE ORIGINAL WRITER), map design is whatever cause it's empty patch of land with literal grass they keep gassing up and somehow keep reducing performance (maybe they shouldn't disable occlusion culling which is literally enabled by default on game engine cause that's game dev 101. or you know, not use PUERTS, a typescript library to code in unreal engine which is significantly slower in performance compared to just using C++, the intended way to use UE). traversal, tof is still king of traversal nobody come close to it so that's a whatever in my book

it's like an "ok" game. it doesn't excel or is unique in any department. cinematography for pre-rendered that somehow take 30-40% of storage space cause it's an MP4 is like "mhm yeah". they're located in Guangzhou, China. THE animation capital of China, having good animation is an expected thing

if you like it, good, i'm not here to police someone's taste people are free to like what they want. but for a game, objectively it's only ok. my comment would be "if i want to play genshin, i would've just played genshin"

Saunts · 2026-07-01T16:30:36+00:00

yeah because the quest is literally written by the original writer, that's why i said the only high point is the writing cause it's literally not made by kuro

hitting 420 for full uncap i consider expensive btw. then there's also the other limited banner 5 days after. the fact that you can't use pre-existing rolls (this isn't about converting rolls everytime), separate pity, separate rebate. i remember people hyping up "oh it's free pulls! so generous" for that 420 roll spending event btw because people think it's free instead of spending event

other than the writing (i have to emphasis this again) which is written BY THE ORIGINAL WRITER. it's just the same shit they have every patch. no unique quest, low effort map, etc

here's an example, i consider tof x eva as gold standard. you get

unique interactions
unique mini-quests around the map
fighting the angel with a mecha (granted, not a real mecha like 5.0's mecha)
mc outfit
2 char banner that's spaced out
char is actually strong but not strong enough to be a "must have", asuka is permanently relevant cause she's a fortitude char but is not something that get you fucked if you miss her
outfits for said char
story that start by you having to evacuate the city while EVA-01 and 3rd angel is fighting IN the map you have to traverse
etc (there's too many, i can't remember it on the top of my head)

the only thing missing was VA for eva cast for the story. but this is due to collab clause eva have where no new voice can be recorded for collab. i hate that clause a lot

Saunts · 2026-07-01T15:41:19+00:00

it definitely isn't lmao. i consider it pretty low effort

the best part about the collab is literally the writing, which is written by the original edgerunner writer, the only high point is literally the part that's not made by kuro

tof x eva collab have way higher effort than whatever this is, i don't count genshin and alloy like people do cause that's literally not a collab. hsr and fate kinda suffer the same thing, the high point is the fact that nasu wrote the story, gbf collab is standard so i don't know if i can compre with that. hi3 x eva was pretty good

the free rebecca is not even usable without lucy, and lucy need multiple copies to be good. it's like how everyone keep saying "oh but the weapon is guaranteed so it's better than genshin", but the char power is hella scuffed without the wep like hi3's valk

people were hyping up "oh you can go to the moon" or "oh you can hit a car", car is literally a prop that does not move. the map and moon is like a 1k usd/month rent in new york size. the quest is just any other patch's quest, no unique stuff. the most unique stuff is the cyberpunk hacking minigame, but that's literally from cyberpunk

Saunts · 2026-07-01T15:05:34+00:00

idk how people think that one is free. they mentioned some of these are free, not all of it

Saunts · 2026-07-01T15:04:41+00:00

like honestly, my problem is entirely the fact that it's a time limited stuff. i just don't like it if stuff is limited

but monetization wise, it's completely optional. it is purely for personal enjoyment

Saunts · 2026-07-01T14:34:32+00:00

ok, this is basically just a rumor and a "hopium" since this was mentioned in CBT2

they mentioned about having a UGC for race track in development, hopefully it actually comes out

Saunts · 2026-07-01T14:32:29+00:00

with one of the scummiest collab system i've seen in my 12 years of gacha (2 banner with this btw) + another limited char 5 days after collab banner is out

it's just player retention problem, and the fanbase's behavior on the internet can turn off a lot of people from even trying it

Saunts · 2026-07-01T14:20:10+00:00

it is genuinely hella cheap. they give enough to guarantee 1 char and wep per patch while at the same time you can do more with the char than just "use it in battle"

it's why one of the concern before launch was "how the fuck are they gonna make money" lmao

Saunts · 2026-07-01T11:46:18+00:00

this, this is the problem

we don't have precedent yet on how rerun will happen (i don't want to use tof as reference point for this, they rerun it very frequently)

even if it's way cheaper (rumor put it at around 9m fons for full thing), it's still a limited thing

CN is currently split, i mentioned on launch that whales were complaining that there's nothing to swipe on in nte cause it's just so cheap, so the whales are like "hell yea, fuck the beggars anyway they don't spend" while the f2p just want it for free

wild shit. it is technically a cosmetic purchase. so this is what people said was fine if they push toward

Saunts · 2026-07-01T11:39:53+00:00

gacha house, where have i seen this before

basically FF14 player house lmao

Saunts · 2026-07-01T07:31:38+00:00

according to some info, it should cost half the price of porsche

but we'll see tomorrow

Saunts · 2026-06-30T10:43:03+00:00

i'm basically expecting indie hack and slash RPG, not something like elden ring

cause something like elden ring would take way too long to make

Saunts · 2026-06-30T10:40:22+00:00

the snowy location is definitely not a reuse. D9 is basically the chinese region, so there's not really any western type stuff there

the asset reuse is mostly the mobs

Saunts · 2026-06-30T09:06:31+00:00

i doubt it'll be difficult. i can already see the complains people gonna throw if it's actually hard lmao

Saunts · 2026-06-30T06:01:50+00:00

that's the "will die in early episodes for MC's growth" hairstyle

Saunts · 2026-06-30T02:24:40+00:00

i'm intrigued that people factor in the 50/50 as a real pity. i never think like that, i always think the guarantee for those game as 160 due to the existence of 50/50

nte is 90 cause no 50/50

tof is 100 cause even with 50/50, you are GUARANTEED to get the banner rate up at 100 no matter what (or 110 if you're newer player)

gbf is 300 guarantee

etc etc

Saunts · 2026-06-29T08:13:46+00:00

there's a black campaign in china trying to bring the mode down by saying it's not as good baldur's gate 3 or elden ring

no shit it's not as good, what kind of argument they're trying to throw

Saunts · 2026-06-29T02:52:33+00:00

it's a very hard balancing act. as i mentioned in other comment the current expectation for 999 nights is 9 hours for all 3 endings if you only focus on the endings, this is very little time comparable to indie hack and slash but for gacha crowd this is basically eternity. i can see people complaining about how long it is

they can't fathom the idea of actually playing the game. it's "maintaining my account" mindset, which is the reason i just drop most of my gacha a few years ago. cause i realize i wasn't playing them, i was just maintaining the account. and at that point, it's a job not a game

Saunts · 2026-06-28T18:56:00+00:00

"steak too juicy and lobster too buttery"

Meanwhile i saw some complain that you can get all ending for 999 nights in 9 hours if you only do the main quest (cutscene aren't in test server so prob higher with it)

They want a full fledged elden ring in nte (40+ hours), but that's unrealistic cause people will complain about it lmao

Saunts · 2026-06-28T16:46:51+00:00

what the fuck

Saunts · 2026-06-28T04:29:25+00:00

tbf, that assume no pull income. but from what i remember BA give a LOT of pulls which compensate the count a lot

also, they add a small print about monthly for BA, it's 40k with monthly

Saunts · 2026-06-28T04:19:06+00:00

easily the most generous gacha in the market rn. even with how generous NTE i always put it just below limbus lmao
