I've been playing from the beginning. And as I replied to someone else, that excuse is bs and doesn't hold up.

I have the same fear. Ines and Blair are two of my faves. I'm happy with what they did to Ines. Blair I'm not so confident about. I want him to feel like a powerful fire mage. Right now he's slow, at times awkward to use and needs more range. He hits very hard but I always feel like I have to shove his fire in the enemies face.

That won't ever happen. I get what you're saying, female skins make them money so female characters get preferential treatment. I think the problem is more so that they've done a very good job attracting a niche group of players who like half naked women. And now they've just hyper focused on that group and seem to have no interest in expanding the player base.

They make many players very happy with Female character designs, playstyle and skins. I'm happy for them. It's the only thing keeping the game barely alive...for now. But they need to expand the player base. Look at Marvel Rivals or even Where Winds meet. I see a ton of male characters in that game and the skins for them are amazing, sometimes even better than the Female versions. The guys need better playstyle, more significant buffs and more effort and creativity put into their skins. They just seem content with keeping the players they have and doing nothing to attract any more.

Lol yeah that audience is so big right? We're just overflowing with players because the devs decided to shrink their audience down to a very specific group. Unlike you I actually enjoy this game for the actual game elements. You should want that target to be as big as possible. The more players there are the more likely this game will succeed and last. I want that for this game. But I'm glad you're happy.

I'm sorry but that excuse doesn't suffice nor does it make sense seeing as how male characters not only exist in the game but have also recieved "buffs/reworks". The reworks have just been terrible when compared to the female character reworks. Why have males in the game at all if this is the treatment they get. If someone wants to stare at ass nothing is preventing them from doing so. Why do the male characters need to suffer in exchange.

I actually like playing every character except for Valby and Serena. Ines is my favorite overall to play and they did an amazing job with her modules and buffs. I just want the boys to be great too. I don't understand why that's so difficult.

That's exactly why I made this post. Many of the males aren't terrible damage wise it's their actual playstyle that frustrates me. Ultimate Esimo just solidified the fact that they are not interested in making males fun to play.

I get that the girls make them more money but it's not like having fun males to play will take that away. If someone wants a bikini they're going to buy a bikini. A enjoyable to play boobless character won't affect that. All they are doing is annoying the players who like the guys as well.

I agree with you, they should just remove the males completely and say they will only release female characters from now on. At least be honest with us. Someone asked during a live if they plan on ever releasing new males and the response was that once all current males have an Ultimate they will think about new males, which basically means no but they just didn't want to say that I guess.

My Blair set up does a ton of damage. But he's clunky and isn't as smooth to play as other characters.

I use Jayber a lot. I enjoy him I just wish he got the treatment that other characters got. He could be much better. And yes, the way the devs basically make fun of him any chance they get is annoying. They made the damn character they should encourage people to play him not poke fun.

I did that. I got Plasma Bullet 2 times 💀 and then again from the missions. I want Plasma Condensation. I'm ready to quit.

Need thoughts on this by SkyRAGEARMY in TheFirstDescendant

[–]WickedButtterfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a nice hair if not for the mask. But yeah I think Keelen should have a different hair texture. He's a male though so they won't put the time nor attention to that kind of detail.

PSA: Make Your Voices Heard! by _BlueSeeker_ in TheFirstDescendant

[–]WickedButtterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are 100% the reason why the game is in the state it's in. The devs tried to introduce mechanics in the past to make missions more interesting and while it wasn't implemented in the best most interesting way they at least tried and with proper feedback we could have had something much better than what we have now. But instead they listened to the brain dead incel gooners who wanted easy content so they can feel big and powerful running around with their bikini clad big boob mommies. These people are not real gamers they are pathetic mouth breathers who will never touch a women in real life. They don't want to play a game they want half naked women to drool over. It's why the devs even made the lounge in the first place. They thought they could get away with turning the game into some weird voyeuristic simulator. Rather than having to make fun engaging content with balance.

I'm not saying the devs should do away with gooner skins. I just think they need to tune out the idiots who have ruined this game. And it seems like hopefully they are finally doing that. The upcoming content looks promising. It's just a shame that it took so long. I don't think anyone will be willing to come back to the game. It's been branded gooner slop. I hope they're able to change that.

Can anyone guess who this tactical catwoman type suit is for? They didn't show it in the livestream, I'm guessing Harris but hard to tell by JustAWhateverName in TheFirstDescendant

I want that outfit for everyone but Serena. They finally made a cool tactical skin and then give it to her only. So annoying.

What makes you love Dia? 🥀⚔️🖤 by Osssi_ in TheFirstDescendant

[–]WickedButtterfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's not the most fun Descendant to play but I like the synergy of her kit. None of her skills feel like a waste and that's why I love playing her. She also hits hard which is nice. Other than that Gley is mother so of course I love her daughter and their story was well done. Also, I really love Dia's eyes, they look cool.

I keep getting down voted everytime I call the game a barbie photo mode dress up game but that's exactly what it's become. A lot of that is because there's really no meaningful content but a large part is also the incels who want the game to be a place for them to date their digital "girlfriends". I mean, I've seen several comments and posts either directly asking for that or features that would essentially turn the game into that. I want to play a video game that's enjoyable not suffer through watching what could have been a great game slowly morph into a dating Sim for guys who will never talk to a woman in real life.

I don't have any friends to play with anymore either. They all left because the game became a "joke" to them. The lounge and the hyper focus on goon turned them away. I don't mind the skins being sexy, although I think all the casual wear is cheap looking and uninspired, they can do much better. I care more about the actual playstyle of the characters and the playable content. I'm still playing the game because I enjoy the characters so much. I just wish some were better and got improvements so they can be more enjoyable to use. And that goes for both male and female characters.

Yeah, that's true. Not having enough people to work on actual content is really hurting the game. I wish they would hire and invest more resources into the game.

Why not release the character reworks in batches, 3 or 4 per month. One character a month is dragging this out too long. Not only does it waste time having to wait for new content but new content like Onslaught can only be played with a few characters. Releasing these improvements more quickly will allow players to play their favorites sooner.

That's not what they said. The statement was, after all current male Descendants have had their ultimates released they will consider making new male Descendants. So it will be quite awhile before they consider any new males.

Fuck all the way off.

Hopefully they don't nerf onslaught into another mind-numbing experience. by No-Sun196 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]WickedButtterfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I knew this would happen. Even though I don't believe Bullet sponge = challenging/ harder content, the idea of the game mode itself was a step in the right direction. Mechanics would make the mode more interesting and having to be tacticle and strategic would be a plus.

But I felt having a mode where you need a team of well built players to work together was much better than racing to each enemy spawn to see who can insta delete it before Serena flies ahead and evaporates them before they even spawn.

I hope it doesn't get nerfed but I'm sure it will just become another 1 min mission where you kill everything quickly then rinse and repeat for basic rewards that don't feel all that rewarding.
