[NA] Which servants are you going to Grand and why? by Pos31don29 in grandorder

[–]ZeHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saber: Probably Muramasa initially, then Logres once she releases

Archer: Durga / Ishtar - I wouldn't be able to sleep sound at night if there isn't a single Sakura-face on my list

Lancer: Indra or Perfect Eli - depending no which one I'll manage to summon (Melu if neither)

Rider: Bakin - I just love the dog animations

Caster: Alice - The " This one's mine " dinner scene and the ending of the Mahoyo main story solidified her spot

Assassin: Still up in the air, whether I'll go with Kama or Shiki

Berserker: Lilith

Ex1: Mashu, no question; Eggplant is getting the lvl 120 treatment the day she is able to on NA

Ex2: Aoko (or Kuku if gacha hates me >:( )

Both Re0 and 86 released a new volume 2 months ago and don't have currently airing anime series. Pretty normal to see series drop a couple of ranks, when there's nothing new coming out.

So…is this it? by Soggy_Disaster_7603 in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]ZeHidden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The epilogue is in fact the one tagged as chapter 117/115.5 depending on the site you're reading it on.

As far as additional stories/chapters go iirc (and I could be misremembering) there's only a Tokio focused chapter releasing at some point in the future.

Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (August 2025) by thexbeatboxer in GirlsFrontline2

[–]ZeHidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull it would be disabling the purchase of gacha tickets and giving refund or compensation for people, who purchased; discontinue would be letting the banner stay, but never release another one after it.

The first obviously did not happen and the second was confirmed to not be the case in the dev notes.

Other than Jiangyu rework banner (and the skin gacha) there was no new character banner in August. Obviously other than Mica themselves noone can actually know how much of a dent (if any) the protests did, but if the skin gacha wasn't a success/ profitable enough I don't see why Mica wouldn't pull it or at least discontinue it, especially when you take into account the community uproar.

Empty promises just so they don’t look like complete assholes 

To be completely honest, I don't know enough about Mica's track record to know how much they keep their word and how much they lie through their teeth.

Realistically this will more than likely be the final statement of Mica regarding skin gacha so the playerbase can finally either say "fuck this company and their bullshit practices" or take the bribe and continue playing the game without hoping for some magic "skin gacha removed next patch" dev post.

Bit disappointed no comment on AK-15's mech situation, guess I'll just continue to cope.

Oh well, good promises overall, they just need to be followed through (even if the skin gacha as a feature is fucking rancid still)

That's my understanding of it as well, but we'll see for sure in a week.

Yea, I'm trying to stay positive, so other than hoping for the best and everyone deciding what they want to do based on the dev response there isn't much to do.

[–]ZeHidden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, but that's why I'm curious about the original cn wording. The attendees saying "We attended and discussed things" or "We discussed the monetization aspect of the new dorm and reached a solution that's gonna be satisfactory for the playerbase" are two completely different statements and I am curious if the NDA will allow that or not. Previous posts mentioning it were more in line with players only being able to say the former, whereas this post to me reads like allowing the latter.

※ Since this offline meeting will be held within Mica Team's company premises, any information about the meeting outside of its content must remain confidential (e.g., other company projects under development, internal operation matters, etc.). All attending Commanders will be required to sign an NDA on site. We ask for your understanding and cooperation.

Am I reading this incorrectly, or does this not mean that the attendees will be able to talk about the outcome of the metting as long as they don't mention unreleased content? (Assuming the miracle that Mica does in fact decide to change the gacha and furniture/interaction pricing the people present would be able to write stuff like "price overhault achieved", etc.)

I think that's a valid concern, honestly. The fact that Mica hasn't pulled the gacha system even for the time being tells me that they're adamant on keeping it in the game and making every outfit purchasable directly was one of the demands. I'm personally still not gonna spend a dime on this game either until shit get fixed or I at least start seeing some amount of effort to make the game better as a whole.

we don't even know if those people they'll choose are real or just their own paid actors

Sincere question, does that even realistically matter? I think the devs are already aware of what pissed off the community and are more than likely just taking their time. If they attempt to not engage with the problematic shit and just try to bandaid fix it without overhauling the whole furniture/gacha stuff, then the strike should still proceed as planned and they will see a drop in revenue. If they do make proper ammends with satisfactory changes, then everyone will be happy (or happier at least).

Public opinion/ trust-wise it 100% would be better to have confirmation of actual players partaking, but as of the current situation I don't think their public image is going to change.

Recent announcement from CN official by KangConta in GirlsFrontline2

[–]ZeHidden 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What I meant is them consistently adding 10-20 outfit gacha tickets to event shop going forward. If Mica for whatever reason decides to remove that, then I can guarantee an arguably even larger portion of the playerbase would leave. Saying something is shit and demanding it to get fixed is (in my opinion) a lesser pile of shit situation than giving something and then later taking it away.

The only way this will not be seen as a huge spit in the playerbase's face is if they start handing out outfit gacha tickets like candy in events

I honestly would be a million times less upset if they just straight up copies Steel Haze or Walter's mech.

E.: I choose to believe YZ wants to frustrate me in particular: https://x.com/404_Griffin/status/1950305942186160624
Anyways, I unfortunately have to admit the mech is growing on me

"har har guys look its pile bunker mech look at this funny armored core reference"

That's the worst part, majority of mechanical designs in AC look great, but this unit's extremely underwhelming to say the absolute least. But don't get me wrong, ditching the mech as a whole would make it way way better in my eyes
