I'm enjoying the collab content. Thanks SG!
Super Verry good 👍
I can't believe I made an account to say this but please remove the RTA changes. It limits a large of the player base and require everyone to naturally have speed gear. Brusiers aren't an option since everything in that area is ml to limited. Plus if you do play bruiser you're bound to get one shot and cycled.
That 30% reduction just further pushes for ml to be in the meta. I'm probably just salty that I built Zahhak handle milim and whatever is slower but now she is leftover with like 100-200 HP but it's not like I can gear other speed units. No peira, no aol, no gear for ran, and all I have is my A.cidd and I have to play weird cut in units or counters.
While this update doesn't address pvp issues, the changes to RTA just make it worst - Champ Player
So, no playable I-No or Jack-O? Or am I reading wrong?
Welp time to farm a bunch of portraits I guess.
wow, the first week of side story is garbo
You realize that the UI changes, to the events menu, makes the videos even smaller and loading the side-game clunkier and more complicated, right?
Request #4 to remove or give us option to disable healing sound effect.
no se si sea el unico pero a mi aun no me llegan las recompensas de los drops de los streams me aparecen en mi cuenta de twicht pero no han llegado a mi cuenta de juego
Stop whining and play something else if you don't like the update. I'm glad GG is back with a new character. Some people won't be happy unless SG gives them every unit in the game free, even then they'd still complain.
I love u devs 🥰 very much
All in all, these are positive changes. I really only have 1 concern:
Doesnt new frenzy effect 2 just exacerbate the existing imbalance with the enormously over powered speed stat? I don't think this one's a good idea. People already run artifacts to achieve this effect. I guess we'll have to see how it plays out but I hope you guys thoroughly tested and are willing reconsider that change unless I'm missing something.
Nobody wants rta matches to drag on for like 30 minutes, but they should also probably go on for longer than 30 seconds. I worry this frenzy rule will make games seem non-interactive and therefore boring.
Yeah I really strongly dislike that one. Instead of give the player going second better chances of actually make a comeback, this in fact makes the one going first even more steamroll.
Oh my god, a reasonable discussion on stove?!
Actually though, cleave will be even stronger thanks to Frenzy effect 2, it'll be ridiculous. Maybe they saw it wasn't too bad, but this is one thing I'm skeptical of (I'll just hold off on RTA for a bit while we see).
First thing I would say is that they note these frenzy rules will change each season, so they would probably adjust it or ax it completely by the following preseason if it's no good.
However, I feel like it's a fairly "even" effect since it's triggered by killing an opponent and doesn't stack. Unless you're assuming your opponent is going to kill one of your units turn 1, it won't favor turn one as much as you're seeming to suggest. A counter could easily ruin the match of the player going first, punishing a mistake in not being sure they could kill whatever they hit and consequently not giving time for a reviver to patch the error.
People STOP crying and complaining! Go play other games or design your own f$&cking game if it doesn’t make you ****
Just because ppl are voicing their opinion (which is the opinion of MANY) doesn't mean they are crying or complaining. The point of feedback is you express what you want to see change.....there is nothing wrong with that. We get it You're a casual player who just likes free stuff but some like the more hardcore side.....and that's okay.
you sound goofy as hell better ****
epic7#bgxz7Very few are bringing criticism, most are just going "Awaken update faster, dead game for another week".
Awaken update announcement got rid of some of the chronic complainers, but alot will make up something to complain about even if they are personally given every ML 5 for free.
They're burnt out as all hell, and should just stop playing for their own well being. That's fine, but it's annoying when they won't shut up about it.
Feel like Jack-O' is gonna make thing worse with her free stun that will be added to many existing cancerous heroes. I wonder how would Korean side react after seeing her skills set.
With so many popular heroes who are hard to kill, high damage, potent debuff like Belian, Rem, Ran who could combine with Jack O, I think we really need more offensive healer with great passive like Roana now with a skill that also cleanse debuff.
it is just another meta slave unit, while at first im hyped about new unit then i realize that im never get to have fun with my old unit, stored and benched as all new unit are so threatening and powerful comparable
Agreed. Jacko + ran is already giving me bouts of ptsd
Pretty meh, collab is honestly a joke, it seems everything good will start from April 14, until then it's just weekly meh
Okay, uninstall and stop playing then. Noone is stopping you.
Noone cares if you are upset we don't have infinite content churning out, especially since you'd complain about something else, then.
Why Is there still people crying. Maybe go watch the awaken update video
Awaken video doesn't change the fact that this update is still bleh, maybe stop smoking so much copium

I'm still disappointed that I-no again isn't going to be playable even though she is one of main cast from main storyline of Gulity Gear collab.
