speaking of battle pass i wrote up a anti consumer monetization guide for live service slop that i will dump here and hope you can add to the discussion also i am drunk so if it doesnt make sense its because there was some extra context that i dont remmeber
no currency obfuscation, decoupled currency, mismatched bundle currency, or too many currencies (WORST OFFENCE IMO, this is low iq whale entrapment) no cooldown skips, pay to increase inventory / storage bottlenecks, content caps, premium status boost resource gain rates (SECOND WORST OFFENCE, means ftp can never catch up to whale powerlevels) no powerlevel directly tied to p2w, no tiered powerlevel based on premium/subscription, no pay for temporary power boost/invulnerability, (third worst, this is becoming rare because of how obvious it is to low iq whales and the complaining) no lootboxes, no gambling, no hidden rates, no upgrade rng tied to premium with insurance or pay2skip, the top powerlevel is just as accessible to whales as ftp (my threshold for p2w tolerance) no power level fomo, no battle passes, has weekly bonuses but everyone likes them (i sometimes think these can be good, but i have no family so i have lots of free time and i understand it causes real social issues for people who have families)
has timed exclusive premium cosmetics, has fomo cosmetics (non issue) has daily bonuses, log in rewards, (non issue) does not have continual login streak rewards

>>393469 I'll add you in a bit and share my ID here as well The dimension shredder ID is dogshit but I understand they have to make filler inferior so that Wu Sang wouldn't lose his spot for example >>393470 I don't think playing hos is fun Anyways my clears are 78 with scorch and sinking for rr6 and 106 turns with scorch for rr2 I want to try rr6 with heishous because I didn't know how mao faust's passive worked until yesterday scorch + dawn office is too overpowered and I want to get better clears with envy res and bleed My best rr6 clear with envy + sinking was 79
>>393482 kinda sad how dimshredder turned out. the abno is sick as hell and im just sad they didnt really go too deep into it status infliction is fine, can always be fixed later on or just superbia dimshredder itself, but what fucks is how old the design is. the skills have no damage % increases not even with charge and pure rolls for damage in this day and age doesnt hold up well the skill 3-2 doesnt have damage compensation if the targets are less too despite AEDD greg having that a few months prior. im pretty certain they just release bad ids like this every season to gauge public perception on it, ID design must take lots of resources apparently.
HoS is pretty boring because the whole gimmick of killing your allies serves basically nothing since the extra coins on echoshear don't make up for all the nukes and status infliction you lose. however i still find it more fun than heishou simply due to the fact that the core unit Ryoshu can actually tank and doesn't get staggered and bent over if hit 2 or 3 times like Lord Hong Lu does (lordsguard is useless)
did you see the recent leaks? not just the ones for next season but the datamines. can i bring them up here
>>393486 Yeah it's a disaster that he doesn't have a sloth skill or a sloth gen gimmick and it sucks that these IDs don't get a lifeline through patches I need to do a HoS MD floor 15 run now that all of the IDs are out, last time I used her was before Outis >did you see the recent leaks? not just the ones for next season but the datamines. can i bring them up here I think I don't wanna see em Reposting shit is lame btw
>>393490 bwuh ive been out all day my eyes and memory are failing me
also absolutely, they could have done so much with the dimensions aside from it being visual
a retreat gimmick, extra attacks, changes to attack properties, different self buffs, planning out follow up attacks iin the following turns, or literally just ego resource generation
since you know, the fucker literally makes a sloth / yellow dimension in his fight
i think if they made him offense + light support he'd be amazing, resource battery for charge teams
>>393493 Yeah and every time they release a dogshit ID it means that the concept is wasted forever lmfao, you can see they know how to not to fuck up though like how all of the HoS ids are god tier aside from Sinclair maybe, it's like they have an internal budget What did you think of the Shartnights collab
>>393495 right?? and fixing it through other ids or future ego just feels iffy. an id should be good on its own, yknow? except in cases like dawn office sinclair of course, but that makes sense thematically and in terms of fanservice theres still the issue of needing to read 3 different IDs in order to actually understand an ID instead of just the ID itself (dawnclair again)
basically i shouldnt have to run future buttfuck random LCE progenitor ID in order to make dimension shredder yi sang usable
i wouldn't even say budget in the money term because the sprites and effects and CG are all up to par in terms of quality, everythings really well made so it must be something they're testing out with the kit designs. knowing PM they overcompensate after a blunder so i wouldn't be surprised if scissor don is gonna be insane lmao
>What did you think of the Shartnights collab it was alright, they clearly put effort and money and time in it, ties up both universes pretty well and isnt the generic sloppa gacha collab at all, the story was enjoyable that being said not only are the egos pretty mediocre but they also just wiped all the content it brought over after it ended and spending so much time on something just to incinerate it is just meh.
>>393501 It's some policy that they won't modify anything after release aside from bugs and I understand it well enough and find the difference from a typical format interesting, aside from that there's a sense of longing The shartnights collab was pretty good but I was relatively new (I started playing when the thumb banner dropped in s6) and didn't have a grasp of how long s6 was stretched out by the collab dev time Shi faust had a kino design but it's in the dustbin now >i wouldn't even say budget in the money term because the sprites and effects and CG are all up to par in terms of quality It's like some internal budgeting system with some strange results that we can't comprehend from the outside Don is super behind on IDs and PM has been very good to the envy team (Probably because charge is supposed to come back next and envy res won't receive any support for over a year minimum maybe) so I bet it'll be good, the Outis one is god tier already, I wonder how long charge will remain dead, W corp Heathcliff was also a mediocre filler ID but not on shi faust or dimension shredder's level
>>393506 writing this post will be a losing uphill battle because of dons fat fucking ass in >>393493 i cant stop looking at
>It's some policy that they won't modify anything after release aside from bugs i'm aware, i'd still rather have it be like this so we avoid nerfs and such in the future, i'd rather have an id just release and be shit than have it release good and turn shit
W Corp. Heath is a good ID and i'll die on that hill. good as in usable-good, not overpowered or broken like the nursefathers of course. His skill 3 generation gimmick is pretty unique and i keep going between thinking its useful or just bad. his damage and clashing is really good and has sort of better damage modifiers lol
it's still a shame since Charge itself is what's holding all of them back, it's just not a good status as it has absolutely nothing going for it, it has no win condition, etc.
just make scorchfield but for Charge man, can't be that hard. make it passively give charge count or something. Fau Canto will revive Charge, just wait.
>>393512 It's okay to goon your brains out to Don Quixote's panty-devouring phattank I feel like Wcliff will be a part of the charge team once they're resurrected, I should start using QoH don more but she came out before IDs were becoming busted and charge is otherwise dead
>>393513 cruel anon enabling me, gonna have me spending the rest of the night drooling over her massive wobblemeat
>I feel like Wcliff will be a part of the charge team once they're resurrected absolutely. i hope W Corp gets one last Leader ID despite how many IDs it already has. a la OSIR ishmael at the minimum, since i doubt they can fix release W Corp anyway.
Something they could explore for Charge revival is Tres Assoc. I fully expect them to be Charge and to actually finally bring new Charge gimmicks to the table. Just think if they not only get a charge version of Scorchfield but if some ID can consume it all to channel it into some massive lightning strike.
>I should start using QoH don more She's fun but honestly unique charge is way harder to keep track of at a glance for me, might just be autistic like that. Still, i don't mind her being Charge at all even if her side statuses suck major ass (not as big as hers)
QoH EGO is way too underrated though, sure it's expensive but the effects are delicious
Also, QoH Don is clearly a long term investment since the other Magical Girls will come together to form an exodia archetype sub-team, call that kino
>>393518 >Also, QoH Don is clearly a long term investment since the other Magical Girls will come together to form an exodia archetype sub-team, call that kino I didn't think about that no cap Off topic are you batshit from being on meds or what, you said you had irls which is an unusual variable
>>393521 goes pretty far back but yeah ive just been going through treatment i try my absolute best to just be normal though
what i wanna say is that im getting better and im good at controlling it so there shouldnt be any worries, if something happens irl im not gonna run to an imageboard to fucking dump it out, nor would i harm myself
i do have irls we just hang out really its what you'd expect from a normal group of friends. theres no melties or drama or whatever
sperging too much i fear
>I didn't think about that will take ages to come through but it'll happen one day, believe in it desu the power gap between the last two and the first will be funny doe lmao
>>393522 theres just something about fat butt from behind that makes it so attractive, isnt there
>>393525 Speaking of irls I have a retarded irl friend I complain about and he said his favorite book is Moby Dick You sound younger than me considering you still have irls, you're collaborative enough but I don't expect a batshit person to remain around lmao, it would be opportune if PMtards were flooding the internet but imageboards are dead and the young people are disabled shitskins and etc so it doesn't translate to something I can capitalize on If you're actually an american we could play some minecraft zombies gamemode together if you wanted
>>393530 >he said his favorite book is Moby Dick thats definitely a choice i can already tell why you think hes retarded kek
>I don't expect a batshit person to remain around lmao only time will tell i suppose
>If you're actually an american i have some news for you
>play some minecraft zombies gamemode i remember playing the fuck out of that when i was younger i probably still have it in me. atleast the hypixel one
you should definitely still add me on steam doe i just posted don on kogasatopia
>>393531 I'm sure it's a fine novel but the dude is a tech nerd with low iq and some other mental problems and he copes with narcissism and now that we're in our mid 20s he's demented as fuck, it's technically funny, I was disappointed to hear he is into reading because it isn't fixing his shitty brain It was the shotbow one and it's on the west coast, I just murdered a nigga, wish it would reach 100+ players again but it's alive now and reaches 25+ on public I'll add you but I don't dm people because I'm a schizoid, your ex was useful too before bpd made him bored
>>393532 >your ex was useful oh who, logi? what'd he get up to with you did he really cut everyone off and just fuck off into the aether eventually lmao sounds like he's had it pretty rough though, he seemed genuinely nice from the time we were talking. hope he's alright wherever he is, just in general
>the mokou guy is doing shrooms and he asked me some gay stuff he told me that one day lmao wonder if that was referring to you
should stop masking and admit the whole "we're still together" schizobabble was mainly just shitpost, even i dont go that low, i'm not stuck up over him its not like it was much of a relationship either
not to say i dont care about him though of course, but thats moreso how i am with everyone thats nice to me
>>393659 Why do you have to be so disappointing? You could've been a nine inches Black Souls darkcel and you and I could've fucked this board up beyond any vibe coding fix. This feels like having a gay younger brother fr.
