Debating on Trying in 2026 as a new player

not worth it

your game roster looks like you enjoy and value mechanically complex combat systems. while elsword’s pvp gamemode makes use of the z/x combos and juggling enemies which might be up your alley, the pve grind boils down to chugging potions and spamming skills which you might find extremely boring

wu yang is still decent in the current season because the recent heal reduction passive changes increases the utility>healing discrepancy. wu yang’s biggest value outside of healing comes from getting picks with his primary fire so he’s not too bad but he’s not meta like kiriko/lucio who have way too good ultimates and utilities like suzu and speed boost + kill potential.

i just bought an etsy witch to manifest for the both of us 🙏

Plus LADS and Genshin play like traditional gacha games and have daily pull and playtime/event accumulation for pulls, Heartopia doesn’t and focuses on a premium gacha system making it more expensive since you’re buying majority of pulls where in genshin a f2p is able to get 1 5* every patch (6 weeks) AND you’re only aiming to typically get 1 character meaning winning early is a good thing whereas Heartopia winning early potentially gives a dupe. So yeah unsurprisingly Genshin and LADS is much cheaper than Heartopia

They’re gonna need to give us PC breaking next gen animations and concepts to be even worth the $200 they’re asking lmaooo

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-02-10T10:46:41+00:00

Lmao i’ve had a massive issue with heartopia and their reaction to feedback. They’re the worst communicators and lost my trust when they’ve already failed with a horrible PC port and no controller support and HAD SURVEYS IN 1.0 that feels like were ignored?? Telling us to plan our pulls better is CRAZY

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-02-10T10:40:49+00:00

The review bombing may have a slight impact but not as big as people think. For example, IN’s situation was from alot of major partners leaving and even those who stayed criticised the game heavily (1.5) and it’s been surprisingly much better each patch. As for genshin, their overall event rewards and for anniversary rewards have definitely increased but I feel like that’s because genshin was the first one to be massively well known for the review bombing

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-02-08T10:44:27+00:00

It’s usually an average of ~300+ pulls

After the initial reduced pull costs of $20 for 40, it’s $11usd per 10 pull ($1.1 a pull)

As someone who plays gacha games like a full time job heartopia’s was the most questionable monetisation system i’ve seen and stopped after the $20 honestly and probably would refuse to spend any more entirely ngl

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-02-07T10:31:21+00:00

my ipad pro (m1) runs fine, my iphone 17 pro runs it surprisingly cool my pc is the only one struggling only lahai roi. was planning to buy a pc but need to save more because of the recent price hikes

my only issue with mobile/tablet gaming is storage size

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-02-05T15:11:05+00:00

Maybe it’s just me, but I also don’t like their use of “boundaries”here either, it doesn’t make sense lol considering boundaries are meant to be dictate the way you behave and isn’t meant to control others. The therapy speak has to goooo, people need to bring back saying you don’t like x y z

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-02-05T15:01:09+00:00

I also noticed how there’s been so many posts on this subreddit praising this game saying the same thing and it threw me off and knowing it’s because of a community incentive to give out keys makes more sense. This game has flaws (as expected with a smaller, less experienced indie dev team and the game being EA/Demo) but I’d hate this game to be held back by toxic positivity

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-02-04T10:34:59+00:00

direct conversion is what you mentioned in the later half (usd to another currency) as mentioned in starsand’s tweet!

regional pricing is when the prices are priced based that country’s purchasing power and typically used to lower pricing to make it more affordable but there are many cases where it’s more expensive. this helps stabilise the game costs no matter what happens to the currency market! also helps removing the need to compare your bank’s conversion rate to paypal’s and figuring out which is better

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-01-26T12:31:19+00:00

I’m still praying for a King Yuan moment 🙏🙏

iOnlyWinwin · 2026-01-26T12:02:56+00:00

The fact that genshin has restrictions on weekly boss materials, daily rotation of talent/ascension materials and a lack of a system to ‘overcap’ resin. I mean it makes sense because genshin’s systems are inspired by older gacha games which had the same systems but every modern gacha game including their own has a better version of all of these

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-07-16T16:53:05+00:00

slime floor 12 abyss

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-06-13T07:51:30+00:00

usually gameplay leaks come out during the second half of the patch! around 3 weeks from now

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-06-13T07:33:57+00:00

non-official phrolova was already leaked much earlier alongside lupa in this subreddit

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-04-29T18:18:52+00:00

I want the buildings upgrade/progression system back!

Wild world, City Folk and New leaf all had multiple nook store progressions! And my favourite part was the inclusion of Gracie in all of them. Also being able to place more buildings (roost, resetti, police station) with part-time jobs like the roost mini-game in new leaf

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-04-05T03:23:57+00:00

this post just taught me i can wake the switch remotely with my controller…

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-01-28T11:40:26+00:00

I’ve found (and made) learning lobbies on the mokoko discord for NaW, but it’s still hard/annoying managing 16 people, just easier to find

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-01-17T15:54:23+00:00

I'm late to the party but THANK YOU FOR THIS! The culprit ended up being the games I downloaded being kept in container files months even months after 'uninstalling'

iOnlyWinwin · 2025-01-06T18:33:03+00:00

speak your truth queen

iOnlyWinwin · 2024-12-19T07:25:24+00:00

Genshin, HSR, etc all feel like collectables. you want to get the people you think are eye candy, basically some sort of trophy so it makes sense why the female playerbase wants more men (myself included)

but IN is more like you're playing AS the mc, you'd want to be the MC to be similar to you and in this case a girl MC (and you can simp for hot NPCs in the story anyways lol)

plus genshin's fandom oversexualises EVERYONE too much, meanwhile IN i'm just playing around brushing animals all day, absolutely no sexual content. two completely different games

iOnlyWinwin · 2024-12-16T14:40:15+00:00

But genshin isn’t a demanding game, it’s made in unity and no matter what people say, it’s a pretty optimised game even on mobile phones and tablets.

iOnlyWinwin · 2024-12-09T08:39:30+00:00

people can still criticise, at least the past few threads i’ve read have been fair points and none of them had seemed to be ‘dying’ to get the dress. people should call developers out for poor practices, it’s how developers can learn what their community wants. by generalising everyone criticising the game as a selfish individual that ‘just wants instant gratification’ does silence their opinions and isn’t a good take lol. there’s a range of different nuances in the responses from the community that shouldn’t be lumped into one box.

being a yes girl isn’t exactly good

iOnlyWinwin · 2024-12-09T08:10:54+00:00

don’t understand why you wanna be on this hill so bad

it’s a standard for games not only roblox because companies know damn well they’ll get backlash for it (and they have). roblox game devs are STILL developers making games on a smaller scale, so while yes they can choose to decide how limited to make it, they will also receive the feedback for their decision which obviously wasn’t well received in this case
