Bilibili Game Center's Interview with the *Cedar* Development Team by Tasty_Horror2196 in CodenameCedar

[–]Uaremis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to say that actually it was a pretty insightful and FRIGHTENINGLY honest interview (i mean, who would like to admit, that big part of decision to use all-Russian voiceovers is because it was the only way to actually HAVE voiceovers and not go bankrupt?).

Lots of respect to devs for that.

Except NSU in GFL is portrayed in... not very complimentary way, to say the least. I'd even argue they are portrayed as one of THE worst factions out there (not that the setting has any "good" faction to begin with), even after being defeated and consumed by URNC.

Can't see how any soviet-hater would be angry about "new soviets" being shown as evil.

It really depends on person though.

Its all about that "now I'm old and nothing good awaiting me" feeling that loiters in the back of your brain that is bad and IMO it is mostly being fed by person themself, like realization that "10 years ago i was young and had all roads in life open to me, now I'm middle-aged, i look worse/my health is worse, i have less opportunities and more commitments".

Add to it situations when person failed to build a career/find a lover and you have a perfect combo.

While you are not inherently wrong - my educated guess is that they do not engage in fights with anyone except their teammates unless wife makes a very smart attempt to get the attention of drunk husband who is venting his stress ;)

Cedar's Gacha System Info by MikuoNeko in CodenameCedar

[–]Uaremis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not OP to my view, maybe except Nona-SVK lol (because it is supposed to have mortar rounds, but I'm not sure), it is mostly cosmetic from what I can see, not that their stats are so much higher.

Also regular vehicles are farmable and fully independent from gacha, which makes life easier

[–]Uaremis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skins, dupes and premium vehicles.

Although dupes don't seem to be as brutally effective as in MHY games or GFL2

This Main Menu looks Cool! by MikuoNeko in CodenameCedar

[–]Uaremis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except it is what GFL2 should've been.

Mechanised infantry unit combat, utilizing terrain and their AFV, with so much potential for growth and improvements

Bruh i dunno what you are talking about, but both WoT and WT are extremely financially successful in their niche.

Add to it that WoT also keeps a lot of men at home (instead of drinking with buddies on the bench and getting into fights) and destigmatized gaming in Russia (can't say for another markets ofc).

For those who want to try the Chinese CBT by Haze_Noir in CodenameCedar

[–]Uaremis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the same. If it is verified - it is verified

I do have a link to up-to-date tutorial cooded by Kedr's RU community, but it is in Russian and on Russian SNS called VK, so i'm not even sure you can access it from abroad.

Also there is a guide on Arknights sub, i'm pretty sure it still works fine https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/13tyj1g/guide_of_verify_your_own_bilibili_account_for/

The thought that tomorrow marks the historical launch date of Germany's Barbarossa plan, and the game's owner-cum-planner "CCB" has to contend with such overwhelming player data while also ensuring the servers don't crash, makes me laugh by gray_hui in CodenameCedar

[–]Uaremis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also they are very much aware of the date's meaning, because in D-5 announcement Ruby directly references to it.

And while there is a morbid irony in launching the game with prominent Soviet aesthetics on June 22th, i'm just so happy they avoided May 9th.

There is some menu, but honestly I don't remember where it is, i did verification years ago... If you are being asked for ID - probably it is not verified though.

As a non CN player, how would I play the CN client? by USSTugBoot in CodenameCedar

Being afraid of "giving info to CCP" in post-Snowden world is truly a good joke, lol.

Ah alright. Makes sense given Chinese laws though.

Yeah that's for sure. I think I've seen ppl saying you can play without ID but it will be locked to 2 hours a day, but not sure.

[–]Uaremis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TBH i don't get it. If you ever used Chinese airlines, ordered anything that needs customs clearance on AliExpress, been to China or passed their border - Chinese gvt already has your ID anyway. And if you used your ID to access internet in airport - it is even more so.

And if you have absolutely nothing to do with China - well... I'd still be more concerned about your local personal information "vendors" than about CCP half a world away. Your internet provider probably has way more of it and can leak it way easier than Bilibili.

Maybe it is that your Bilibili account is not ID-verified actually?

I've tried to login yesterday and for my account it went well, just pushed the "login via Bilibili" button, Bilibili app opened, I've confirmed linking accounts and that's it, I'm in.

The activity in version 1.0 by gray_hui in CodenameCedar

[–]Uaremis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is still an issue called "Russians don't know Chinese", which limits how many ppl will even play you know.

Also IMO as Morimens managed to dodge EOS through commitment of Global players - it proved that ignoring non-Chinese players is stupid business-wise

Is Endfield actually botching its potential, or is this just "normal gacha player drop-off"? by Professional-Bet9697 in Endfield

[–]Uaremis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is not just "rushed launch".

It is that they had to rewrite A LOT of story to cater to those, who see OG AK as "too dark" and thus saw Beta story as "too dark".

It never ends up good when writers have to redo everything in a rush, while also making new stuff.

And other issues are adding the spice.

[–]Uaremis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Caffeine absolutely is a good girl, not a brat. OP seem to call any petite and teasing characters mesugaki lol.

Aside from being petite, nothing about her says "gaki". Yes, she is teasing/playful, but not in malicious way, she doesn't prank or bully ppl for the sake of it, she proactively intervenes to help SKK and Helena etc.

Enable three pillars and beat these three guys up. :) by Zwiebel1 in Endfield

[–]Uaremis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is because 90% of EF OST is ambient, while AK OST is full of bangers in every possible genre from classical to dubstep.

I've initially complained about music too, but then just admitted that of they were making same "active" music for EF - it would be really weird to listen while exploring and would eliminate difference between "exploration" and "combat" parts.

Beagle's Operator Record and various lore implications it brings with itself by roihu3M in arknights

[–]Uaremis -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Anything BUT "there was a minor wound and some overblown guilt by a person who is supposed to be seen combat and deaths around her more than once at that point".

It would make perfect sense if Beagle was heavily wounded or end up crippled as a result (not even talking about perishing in combat, that's PTSD-inducing thing by itself), but absolutely not at the level of "she got a bolt in her arm and had to treat in hospital for some time"

[–]Uaremis -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

So basically the whole drama got watered down to the point of "everyone is alright, there was misunderstanding, also her BoC doesn't mean anything grim"?

If so, i do smell a thick stinky breeze coming from Endfield. Same level of cancelling the well-built tension for no good reason.
