Thoughts about the update?

[KentuckyKid#69]

As the title says, and please keep it somehow respectful. The idea is to collect feedback for them and maybe just MAYBE, they care to read what their player base thinks about the update and what needs improvement.

Bad changes; they are many from dive to dupes. Game droped from Very good to neutral 1 day after the update. Theres people defending and people ranting... They will need a good damage control team to reverse this, but i doubt that it will happens. Accept the "new normal" guys. (hope that i am wrong)

It's a bad joke. It's like the devs hold a grudge against their company and want to speedrun this game's death. A real shame, I started playing somewhat recently and was really enjoying it, but I doubt I'll stick around too long after this.

Same here I started about a week ago and this whole origin patch is very unfriendly to new
players. So I doubt I'll stick around much longer, which stinks cause I was really enjoying the game. I was even thinking about making a purchase or 2 but this update changed that.

I will probably drop the game in the next week or 2 if things continue the way they are.

Tedious, expensive, unrewarding, and generally anti-fun.

It's like the did the exact opposite of what they promised.

I'm not accepting it lol, I'm quitting the game if it doesn't change fast.
Same as many others. Only regret the money already spent, but if I let sunk costs dictate my decisions I would've lost way too much money elsewhere lmao

A lot of stuff became a chore and the constellation system was a giant kick in the nuts since the rearm system was implemented only a couple of months before, they really need to get their act together and fix their most egregious issues pronto.

The new UI is absolutely terrible. One could talk about how it's blatantly aping Arknights' UI, so I just did, but beyond that it's just a huge downgrade in functionality. The old UI had a simple tree organisation with root menus on the sides and specific selections in the middle, the new UI just goes for this bizarre tree of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling to see anything, it takes up a huge amount of space to show less than before and make it more of a pain to access anything. The favourites menu tries to make up for this but even that is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thanks to it not showing entry counts on the list and it resetting back to the top of the list after each return and it not letting you rearrange the list.
It's just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ designed for phones with no consideration for PC usability, whereas the old UI actually worked great on PC.

And then the actual gameplay changes are just baffling, especially with dives, where they now take even longer than they already did and there are now artefacts that are actually negative to have, which seem purely designed to ♥♥♥♥ you over for playing on auto. God knows how bad dive 50's going to be with the new dive length and awful artefacts. Meanwhile dimensional trimming is just the same stages over and over and over again with incredibly marginal power increases each time.

And of course them introducing the character reinforcement system right after rearms is such a ridiculously poorly thought out decision it's almost like they did it on purpose out of spite for the playerbase.

I love this game but god do I hate this update.

Sadly look at other places like Reddit, and it barely shows that people aren't happy. Whales gonna keep whaling I guess. There is a reason the mobile market is the most profitable.

It's actually garbage for phones too, everythign is way too small on them.
dimensional trimming is also awful because it just removed two varied game modes in relic stages and shadow palace and made them the same as trimming, except with garbage rewards compared to what they used to have, AND at the cost of eternium.

I loved* this game but now I'm just hoping they do something asap or I'm done being treated like ♥♥♥♥.

Eh. On discord plenty of people have gripes, reddit people are just mostly braindead. the people unhappy with the update just don't bother on reddit for the mostp art because they know they're dealing with clueless white knights.

Seems like there was an official apology for this update from Bside. What I find a bit odd is the radio silence we on Global got. I'm pretty sure if the good folks of KR did not complain about some changes, they would not even acknowledge our opinions. Not sure what to think about this at the moment, but I will wait what they come up with to fix the situation.

It was covered via a youtuber yesterday, and as sincere as the apology was, they also didn't say if they'll consider the suggestions given and do something about them. Some of the language is them just saying "sorry" and acknowledging it, and that's it. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, hoping that they'll bring the changes we like back. For now, we'll wait.

I did see it a couple of hours ago on their KR webside and yes, Google Translate could have made some wrong translations. It looks like they will change dives and add the skip function. At least that is something but I share your opinion to wait and see what they do.

Also to note, it says in their letter that the tactical update won't really make a huge impact to pvp. This test says otherwise:
