This feels like a gacha game

[KingGhostie]

I use to play gacha games like genshin,and withering waves. I can't help but notice throne,and liberty plays a lot like a gacha game. It really does feel like the foundation is built on a mobile game. Which explains the poor combat.

you seem to be stretching the definition of things to the max. for example assassin's creed black flag had a system similar to expeditions. the only thing unique to gacha games is missing.

Is it me stretching things, or is it you on copium? 🧐🤔

well is there a fomo aspect to a group of resources/characters/amoitois? real gachas have banners which is basically a set of limit time only selection of sort after digital things. im sure if you dig around enough the shop in TaL would have something like that.

Gacha the term comes from the coin-op random chance irl "loot boxes" things that are super popular in some parts of Asia. The whole thing about it is random chance loot box and collectable. Pokemon trading card game for example is a gacha game...

This game isnt a gacha it may use p2w/fomo/other aggressive/predatory marketing method but that doesnt make it a gacha game. Most of those designs and tricks were also in games long before gacha was even big.

Says the guy that thinks any game that uses FOMo and limited banner sales is gacha. Just because a gacha game uses these doesnt make any game that uses them gacha. FOMO and Limited banner sales were around long long before gacha went digtial.

EDIT just to be clear too, This game is p2w, it has that baked in the design. Not saying its not but its not a gacha game.

The combat is typical of tab target games. it also has 12 buttons on the action bar. that's like saying wow is designed for mobile. I don't play gacha but I believe that is pulls from gambling boxes that has a chance for rare rewards. that doesn't exist here

Similarities do of course exist, Gacha games, f2p-p2w, "regular" MMOs, are using many similar mechanics for progression. Gacha just has the "collectibles" aspect for heroes on top of combining any possible mechanic to drain your wallet. I´d say the difference is the density of those mechanics.

If i accepted all your points except the gear upgrade systems it would match everything that exists in WoW. this game does gear upgrading a bit different then most mobile games anyway so that doesn't help you much anyways. Your definition is way too broad. the fact that your only response is copium is pretty much an admission.

genshin is 100 times better than this

cope ive made 300$ spending nothing

It's just another boring and generic mmo with nothing really interesting or innovate to offer nothing that hasn't already been done in other games 10 years go but at least it's a new world to explore and the art is beautiful. Enjoy it while it's somewhat popular, make friends/memories and move on when the time comes lol don't bother investing money it's not worth it just enjoy the experience

i agree with u its not a real mmo ....

Yeah I did a little bit more research as well. Turns out you can in fact buy most of the materials to craft your growth stones,and the grind to get those mats by playing are mostly time gated. I uninstalled. I really don't like free 2 play games since they always end up like this. I hope something better comes out with less scummy practices.

so whats your big answer then, devs cant sit around for years doing work for free. figure it out.

Just look at the settings. They literally have an auto-target system that looks and sounds like it's from a mobile game XD

Lol its a p2w asian mmo.

Genshin is meh, gives you something to do for awhile but in no way is it amazing. So far, this game has been very enjoyable. I could see myself playing this way longer than I played Genshin. This world is so much bigger with deeper systems compared to Genshin at launch, and im sure it will continue to get updates if it doesn't die. I played Genshin at release for a couple months but it got really boring as there wasn't really much to do but the same few dailies over and over and multi-player was very limited, I'm sure by now its better but its been years. This game is already far more entertaining to me than Genshin was at launch. This doesn't feel like a mobile game to me at all but clearly everyone on this thread has their own idea of what a mobile game feels like.
