What a great pacing for a season

[Alan2025]

I mean, comparing it to the last two at least. We have been crying about (With reason) how much PM misses their own deadlines, but this season? I'm quite happy about how it's turning out. Without counting the dead weaks after the story we got two events one after the other (even if one is a rerun) and when they end the next one is ready to release. We complain about PM a lot (maybe doomposting or maybe justified) but I think we can also agree that we need to applaud them this time, at least from my perspective.

i was never against missing deadlines, its quite common that things arent ready when they need to be, the ones losing out are the players that created schedules around releases or had big expectations but its either more delays or a buggy unplayable mess. likewise they were pretty lazy for using reruns but it probably gave them more time to finish the next canto, i would rather applaud them for releasing pigtail Faust, cute ID's for the win.

I'm playing regulalry since launch, and I can't agree with that 'great pacing' thing. Christmas even is bad, only two or three new events in MD, boss didn't changed at all in Hard Mode (except the coin on his 'nuke' became unbreakable), I easily closed it in like, three hours. It can hardly be percieved as 'new content'.

New MD isn't that 'new' compared to previous, not enough changes, not much new things, not enough new floor packs, not enough new events.

Next, WP. ID's aren't bad, but honestly, LoR has so many cool characters and we got full stop office ID? And one of them is Hong Lu ID - his second WP ID (first was hook office)? That's lame. Don't get me wrong, Magic Bullet EGO is AMAZING, as burn player I ADORE it, but previous WP were cooler.

And ah yes, next event. More mindless farming. Delicious. And there will be two more of them this season (BL rerun and sweepers event), yay...

In conclusioun, what I'm trying to say is, while it looks like they add new content, it's all under same old formula, nothing really exciting. At least maybe next railway will be interesting.

P.S. Shi. 4. But we have only 3 Shi ID's since launch. I won't forgive that until Shi (Yujin) Outis will be released.

I have mixed feelings about this. I was never bothered with delays to begin with, provided the new stuff was worth the wait.

Don't mind MD5 not being groundbreaking either. They really don't have to reinvent the wheel each season. The current system is fine.

The 1st rerun however, was a big letdown. I was very excited for hard mode in story, only to get enemy numbers increased to 50. Final Boss apparently got some new skills, but I never saw them, because it died in 2 turns.

Walpurgis on the other hand was well made. Horde mode is dumb fun. Achievement hunting is neat too.

I'm not saying it's all new amazing content, i say they are releasing content at a much constant rate, as i said i know there are reruns, but i think this is much better than having nothing to do 3 weeks at a time. It's not the best content but it's content.

I dislike the christmas event like everyone but it having voices made it fun to rewatch.

The new WP ID as you said, they are cool but i don't think is fair to compare them. They are fun and they work, i really like their style.

About the event farming... it's a gacha game, what can they do really? I really want to see both the rerun BL (I love to see it with voices) and the new sweepers event. I don't know what to expect of it but PM sure isn't going to release some mid sweeper ids... right?

My conclusion is that it may not be very exciting but faster release of content makes me hope for faster chapter releases. My main point really is that if they release the content faster that means we will have a chapter sooner... if after all the content we have to wait an entire month or something well... i wouldn't applaud that xD

P.S Shi (Yujin) Ryoshu will be the one released when the shi come back (I'm not biased I swear)

Mirror dungeon is botched. Events are reruns with basically nothing new added to them. "New" events keep using the "gain event currency to exchange rewards" grind. Hurts to see PM choose quantity over quality. The only good content in this season so far is Walp. IDs since they finally decided to try something new instead of the "if target/this unit has X status gain Y coin power" slop they've been pushing for almost a year now.

I'm glad this season (probably) won't take 6 months like the previous one but I can't say it's any better.

[Birp]

Story-wise, sure.

Gameplay-wise, no.

I won't bother talking about the lack of game modes. But imo the Canto 7 stage designs were not great, aside from Dulcinea (7-34).

Canto 6 had more mechanically interesting fights. Canto 7 -- okay controversial opinion time, I feel like the story got in the way of the gameplay too much especially during the Dungeon.

[Sergalius]

Suddenly here we have proper people in comments, my faith in community partly restored.
I dont blame pm. they were really crunching and etc, but applaud for what?
This (DON) canto is almost semi-intervallo, when they are teasing the big Hong lu canto, which is their major priority now
after all. he is chinese, have a big book to work with and etc.
Or Pm would made bank on his canto or would slowly fomo us into the oblivion.
The PM fate is deciding right now. in future months.

I can wait any amount of months for Canto V-VI level of quality.
HC canto is one of the best piece of media i have ever read.

Eh, I don't really care that much about missed deadlines but it was quite obvious that Canto 7 was rushed. I mean, we had Fanghunt enemies that also deals more damage to bloodbags (even though we didn't get a single bloodbag ID), not doing much with the amount of fixers we got just to kill the majority of them off or not see them again (Even though we got like 3 office/association IDs) or that Carmille Paula thing affected by four hundred roses corrosion (Even though Paula's sprite isn't even Paula's) but no four hundred roses boss,

Heck, even story wise it was all over the place because a decent chunk of it was just fixer or Hong Lu + relative focused, but like I said, that didn't go anywhere, not even that Don vs Carmille battle, or something as specific as "Firefist Office" just showing up for a small scene and not to be seen again. They even cut corners with the Priest just to only use him in the trio battle.

while they have money as mister Big director said
so or Hong lu canto needs all their time or they have some inside problems

Definitely agreed. Canto VI was so good it broke the norm of each new canto being better than the last. Canto VI was leagues above Canto VII and I wouldn't have a problem waiting to get cantos just as good if not better.

they should learn from Mica
we dont care about any delays or time consuming if we can get GOOD content.
Problem is- it is gacha. x))
bits of Hong lu future canto are one of the best things in Don canto. so i expect that his canto would be fine

[lorde]

As long as what they release is great, I think delays are justified as I would rather a late product than a rushed product, but there are so many things I dislike about PM as much as I love their content that it's hard to say. almost a love the art but not the artist at this point.
