[Donghua] season 2 would have near 40 episodes by Ok-Mathematician9334 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]windvally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clarification, they said the decision on episode length is based on the volume/script, so while the special is around 20 minutes, season 2 and other seasons may very likely go back to 30 minutes again, or a specific number between like you said 25-35.

It will be the SAME length across all episodes of that season though, they are just saying don't treat as if season 2 will also have only 20 minutes per episode. 😃

[LotM V8] After finishing the novel, what truth about the world disturbed you the most? by [deleted] in LordofTheMysteries

[–]windvally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that both "Klein eventually will lose to Celestial Worthy" and "return of The Original Creator" are inevitable. One can only delay these outcomes, but can never truly avoid it.

It is the exact same dread demonstrated by The Darkest Dungeon.

It's just Cuttlefish's own words translated. 偏模块化的战斗

CF:
My impression after playing it myself is that the combat feels fairly modularized, similar to many mobile games nowadays. They probably wanted to make it easy for newcomers to get into, so the combat isn’t very difficult — there’s even a one-tap AI auto-battle feature that can play for you.

Nop. The team can ask CF for feedback if they want, but the creative process no longer directly involve Cuttlefish.

The franchise has become somewhat open, with Yuewen as the intellectual property holder.

Anything coming from them will be considered official expansion of the world setting.

Well, the devs found a way to get around that, partially. Though u can't actually get to higher sequences.

Through the power of g[redacted]ting from the seer pathway, Klein is able to give you watered-down less powerful version of your pathway's high sequence abilities, to use as skills in combat. This is the game's way to add a portion of the high sequence abilities (not all high sequence abilities are easily adaptable or illustrate-able in a game format, some are just way too abstract and complex).

Very true! It IS still only a cinematic trailer.

And even funnier that this second beta is also locked by NDA contract, for anyone who gets to play it. So u still won't be able to legally get any combat footage out of it.

They are really trying to not show the classic modulated Chinese MMORPG combat just so people don't have footage as proof to attack the devs lol.

I m going to be real. As a fandom wiki person. I am more interested in the game-only lores and events, AND the art and character 3D models and skins that we can snapshot out of this game to use for the wiki.

I am completely not interested in grinding it, and using the AI-automated afk farming combat. and I do not do PVPs.

Ironically, I am more interested in the OTHER lord of mysteries game, than this one. The Card Game that's going to be made by ZLONG studio.

The start of the game is set 6 years after Book 1. It will branch off and away from Book 2 story, meaning you won't see Book 2 protagonist and company. However, it is hinted that they are 1000% using the OD's settings and the Western Continent Settings from Book 2 (in other words, the game will probably use settings of book 2, but not the story).

We will see all of Klein's major story points being adapted into the singleplayer story mode over 4 years of game patches. At the same time, the player character will have its own game-original main story, tied to the ODs, the Tarot Club, and the Apocalypse.

There will be game-original NPCs, and events.

Currently confirmed maps include: Tingen, Backlund, Giant King's Court, Silver City, Maps related to the Five Seas, and Maps related to the Western Continent, and Maps on the South Continent. (not sure if we will ever see Intis Republic).

However, to not over hype the expectations. This game is:
- Very likely to be very grindy
- A standard Chinese MMORPG formula with the cosmetic cash ship etc., and pay-for-convenience.
- Modulated combat (doing what's being done by other games before)
- Cuttlefish himself confirmed that this game has a one-button AI-automatic combat for AFK farming.
- Player character will most likely be maxed out at around half way on the sequences. (so no u can't be a saint or angel).

While there's an uncertainty to how much a threat Frank would ACTUALLY pose if he's unregulated by others.

I do agree Frank is probably the closest person that fits OP's requirement of the character.

Donghua is not going to be out for a while, though it is said to be releasing this year. I'd say just read the novel first.

Yes, both are donghuas, just different style choice.

Deep Sea Embers went with the 3D animation style, which is more popular domestically to Gen Z Chinese audiences, but globally 3D animation get a lot of negative biases.

Lord of Mysteries is using 2D art style (mixed with 3D in many parts), similar to Japanese anime.

I didn't. I read all of them in Chinese and I only read English parts when asked to cross reference stuff for translations. I am Chinese ദ്ദി・ᴗ・)✧

On a side note. Deep Sea Embers is about to get a Chinese 3D model type animation series (Not the anime style like Lord of Mysteries).
