Sorry, fellow Managers. I'm quitting Limbus Company.

[wookiesmuggler123]

The catalyst was probably MD2 Hard.

Before the comments, it wasn't because of the difficulty. I actually completed 3 runs with Fox, Bull, and My Form Empties as final bosses on the day of the update. I can see both sides of whether MD2 Hard is good design or not, but I won't go into that here. The difficulty wasn't why I quit.

After grinding everything out, I simply realized that, unlike Ruina, this game just isn't for me. Limbus Company is the first gacha I played earnestly, and I think it will be my last. The grind (which other people assure me is incredibly generous for a gacha) just rubs me the wrong way. The content is repetitive and sinks my time. It also doesn't have the same strategy elements that got me hooked on Library of Ruina or Lob Corp. other games by Project Moon.

I've already supported PM by purchasing their Battle Pass, and I suppose I'll just treat the $10.99 as a fun 70 hour experience. I can imagine many comments telling me to quit silently instead of posting this, but I know that if I didn't type it out I'd somehow convince myself to get back on the grind for Fluid Sac or Spicy Sang, cuz I tend to do that lol. blahblah fear of missing out blahblah. I think I'll just take comfort in my Rime Shank Rodya (it took a dang while to farm the shards haha).

I'm in no way trying to discredit other people's enjoyment of the game. I also don't have a list of suggestions/complaints for PM to make their game better. I noticed PM's update to decrease grind time, and I concluded that Limbus Company is still not the game for me. I'm just here to say goodbye, and thank you all for the great time I've had with this game and this community. Shoutout to Ushio Ebi, georgieegames, Tsunul, Lambdadelta, and a bunch of other content creators for Limbus, not to mention all the great meme creators out there bringing outism to the real world.

Thanks for the experience, everybody.

A Limbillion Well Wishes,
Ex-Manager

uh they will change it to 1 run hard every week with 34 golden create as reward next update.

you get 8 golden create from MD2 hard is rewarding

just do normal if you can clear hard. 4 create not bad, end season always have left over.


well hard not that hard anyway the key it E.G.O gift that double your resource and spam E.G.O at the stage 5 boss.

easy.

They already read the post and it isn't about MD2 being too hard.


Limbus ain't for everyone and that's fair. Wish you well, Ex-Manager.

he said it.
you know the problem already and don't need to read the long trash text.

you don't need to clear MD2 hard that cost 6 anyway. just do normal for anyone cannot beat MD2 hard.

and most people rush to MD2 hard with stupid under level ID 25 -30 + lose and rage quit.

ofc underlevel losing.

From how they describe it hard MD was the straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back, with the main problem being that the grind heavy gatcha gameplay wasn't for them.

Hey man, I did three dungeon runs the day of the update. I won against My Form Empties with a few retries. Please don't jump to hasty conclusions, especially when I answered the comment you made in the first few paragraphs. It just... isn't the game for me. Still, I know that the start of my thread kind of resembled those MD2 complaints, so I get it if you misunderstood. No hard feelings.

[Evarrice]

I'll miss you!

[76561199131858533]

it's hard you maybe already read the new announcement, the requirement literally level 35 + and E.G.O up-tied 3.

it was made for uptied 4 that coming sooner.

if you beat MD2 Hard under level and E.G.O not uptied 3, be proud brodah .

You can still keep up with the story through many content creators you mentioned!

I agree with this sentiment, regardless of the improvement and content of the game. In the end of the day, Limbus is a gacha game and there will be grind for it. While it might be a common sense for many people, not everyone fit or comfortable with this type of long term gameplay. And with prolonged exposure, burnout can be expected.

I hope the best for you out there! The gate is still open if you decided to open the game again too!

I would probably wager that you wouldn't enjoy gachas in general then. The issue with focusing heavily on strategy is that you then force a specific play-style where if you don't have the units required, it becomes many times more difficult to clear.

Also let's be honest here, Lobotomy Corporation has no real strategies you can use if you're playing blind. There's a fair chunk of Abnormalities that'll kill your nuggets for being too good, and you'd never find out why unless you already found that sweetspot that lets you actually work on them relatively safely.

Yeah, I do think the story was great, especially Yi Sang's moments. I'm pretty sure I'll follow the storyline some way or another, prolly from letsplayers. As other commenters said, the gacha aspect isn't really for me. I tried to get into Arknights, which ended in the same burnout.

The unfortunate thing about Limbus being pretty good for a gacha game is that it's still a gacha game. A repetitive grind is one of the key ways they can keep players hooked between content updates and given the length of time it takes for any gacha to develop into its "endgame", that ♥♥♥♥ is just gonna lose its luster at some point for most people. One of many reasons I wouldn't be sad to see the genre just... vanish

Maybe that's the great tragedy of Limbus, many of us will likely move on or burn out before the story ever reaches something approximating a conclusion.

Anyways, I wish you the best. Rare to see an "I'm leaving" post that's actually just genuine and reasonable.

Plus, we can always look forward to the games PM will hopefully make thanks to Limbus' profits. That's my cope anyway.

His Odyssey had a purpose.

Godspeed Ex-Manager wookiesmuggler123, may your Enkephalin boxes be always positive and your mechanics descriptions short, because God knows we Library Players can't read.

[David Bowie Sensei]

I mean this game is not for everyone, game play wise. Its fine to leave the game to the side if your not liking it.
Hell I myself just watched and read up the lore and story for LC, as I didn't have a good time with the gameplay. So I just jumped into LoR after doing research on LC.
