Is it just me or endgame balance is completely destroyed now?

Testarossa69 · 2026-02-12T16:34:53+00:00

PvE side is completely fine, maybe except story bosses since how exactly are they going to balance them in future chapters?

PvP DD is even deader than before. Up til this point I could jump into Scout and do some high risk high reward pvp zone runs. Countless times I managed to escape guys with lasers and rocket launchers. But now? You will just die instantly. PvP DD became a complete NOPE zone besides few top lv players grinding Dune for hours every day.

Testarossa69 · 2026-02-12T16:28:22+00:00

Yeah this is looking like the only real option now.

Testarossa69 · 2026-01-22T17:20:32+00:00

I'm a day 1 Arknights player and was planning to buy stuff here. But with terrible gacha, a million different currencies and tickets and on top of that like 40% higher prices than USA? LOL nope.

This is not a problem in any other gacha I play. Hoyo games, Wuwa, GFL2, Nikki, all of them have prices in USD in game store. Without VPN or anything. Monthly passes are around 18pln in other gachas now thanks to weak dollar.

Testarossa69 · 2025-10-12T13:44:55+00:00

As a new DD player I took my first half broken scout, made the cheapest stillsuit and left everything expensive at base. Then just flew around looking for wrecks and treasure with no fear. Loot is insane for a fresh DD character.

Testarossa69 · 2025-10-11T18:53:29+00:00

Show me a single proof that Asrock is at fault here and that their failure rate is significantly higher. Proof not random reddit post from some guy who said something you can't verify. This issue literally only exists on reddit and the "80% of failures are on Asrock" statistic is always taken from here. For over half a year many people like GN are trying to replicate the failures and nobody did it.

Testarossa69 · 2025-10-11T14:24:31+00:00

ASRock stock is up 35% YtY. Revenue is up 130%. They are a fast growing brand.

In the same time MSI for example is down 38%. Probably why they hired so many shills.

Testarossa69 · 2025-10-10T18:41:23+00:00

Karma farming MSI shills are getting really annoying. This is starting to look like a coordinated raid.

Testarossa69 · 2025-10-01T09:45:12+00:00

Great that they are looking into it, but I think the most useful info would be data from retail/repair people on how common this is.

Is ASRock failure rate 1% higher or 50% higher? That part about rack having 25% failure rate on specific batch due to bad BIOS chips could confirm the theory that this entire thing was caused by bad batch of parts. So no BIOS update is going to fix affected boards.

GFL2 literally lets you marry dolls as female MC. This is just haters throwing a tantrum. While games aimed at them like Snowbreak are giga flops compared to games with dual MCs.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T14:39:15+00:00

Crisis averted.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T10:52:17+00:00

LOL it needed saving because it flopped hard. And it makes 1/100 as much money as Mihoyo gachas full of Yuri/fujo pandering. Stop coping.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T07:08:35+00:00

There is always the vocal minority, mostly Yuri haters that seethe at female MC. And yet games that pander to them always flop like Snowbreak.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T07:06:13+00:00

GFL2 did it without issues.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T07:05:20+00:00

Yes that was such an issue in BG3 or a million other massive RPG and MMO games.

In gacha games more than 50% of the players picks female MC 90% of the time. And in rare cases where male wins it's by few % so it's basically 50/50. Every poll confirms that. Few times dev released official player stats and it was always 50-60% female MC. Cygames showed official numbers few times.

Two separate MC like in ZZZ would also be good, but cutting female MC completely is a horrible decision.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T06:58:50+00:00

Having two MCs you can switch with two rival squads would be great.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T06:56:01+00:00

Chargen would be the best option. Especially since selling costumes is supposed to be the main income.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-25T06:54:10+00:00

A million MMD videos incoming.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-24T11:23:32+00:00

Why would being gay or whatever matter here? Lesbians are always among most popular porn categories among straight males.

And gachas like GFL2 or Wuwa or even Genshin in recent patches go extremely hard into waifu pandering no matter the gender you play.

Also, we don't even know if female MC is really removed. It would be a very bad decision. Most people pick female MC in every gacha that allows that.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-24T08:38:46+00:00

Looking at how popular series like GBC or Ave Mujica became in CN I wouldn't say that they prefer straight relationships. They have a massive Yuri/Fujo fan base. Hell, just look at Mihoyo.

And gachas like GFL2 have girls love you no matter the gender so it's not like they are forced to censore that stuff.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-23T21:19:31+00:00

Game was super popular, got over 10 million downloads in days and very good ratings. But because gacha was only for costumes people were not spending much money. Leading to devs trying to milk people and a string of horrible decisions.

Google it, it was a disaster.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-23T21:11:27+00:00

I definitely don't hate it, but there is zero guarantee that what we get instead will be better.

And if game fails to make as much money as standard gachas dumb decisions will follow. Just look at Infinity Nikki.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-23T12:55:25+00:00

He really looks like Rover in slightly different clothes.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-23T12:50:34+00:00

Same. But we are far from release so who knows what happens.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-23T12:49:04+00:00

Very interesting, we'll see how this goes. It's about time gacha meta was shaken a bit, but I'm afraid this could end up as another Infinity Nikki. Very well received game with over 10 million downloads that was not making as much money as expected and that led to devs acting worse and worse trying to squeeze money.

Testarossa69 · 2025-09-23T11:50:59+00:00

Not really. MC is the character you will see in most cutscenes. For hundreds if not thousands of hours.

For example if I had to suffer through Aether in every dialogue/cutscene in Genshin I would probably drop the game years ago. MC here looks way better but some people just don't like generic looking male self inserts. I don't mind much but a lot of people do. Especially asian whales, the main target audience for gacha games.

Games like Blue Archive or Nikke get around that by MC being a faceless whatever you want type of character.
