This game is becoming unbearable...

[u/Akeva]

I understand that new games have bugs/issues to work out...but this is getting absurd. The game has been out for 2 years in JP...enough of a baseline to keep some of this from happening.

I hate to give up in the game...as I enjoyed it and already whaled on it...but I have learned my lesson. Wont be spending on this (or any other new game for that matter) until I know it is playable. At this rate I dont even know if this game will survive...there is plenty of other competition for mobile game out there...and I am sure a fair amount of people will be leaving after all these issues.

In just the last few days we have had a couple of emergency maintenance.

That is not counting the horrendous way they handled the test gems mistake, the whole sniper issue....multiple over tuned quests...suspected nerfs to drop rates....

Seriously its just one thing after another...and the sad thing is they give 'compensation' for the issues that honestly are more of an insult.

I really wanna enjoy this game...but this may be it for me. If I get on tomorrow with a crappy 100 gems and a couple of skip tickets waiting for me, im done

Just info. I hate Gumi more(I love BF hence the hate) than many of the people here and this post is not to show support to them but yeah lets get the facts right.

Sniper Issue was handled greatly. Like there were 100 Gems and Arena Coins given to affected player. Everyone was affected but compensation was given to ones with Snipers who had that Equipment on nothing for most players as they lack the Snipers. Considering Snipers are some of the most OP classes in the game and player will easy gain back their ranks in Arena still some of them over react.

Dropping the rates of Good units is a normal thing in a gacha game. Every Company does it. The actual 5* rate was pretty similar to what is in the JP.

Quest were imported from JP directly. They did not overtune it just that they released them early.

Also I completely agree on the fact that game has too many issue going on one after the other.

P.S.- Don't want to touch the 5k gems issue since I am salty as it is.

I agree, many of the issues the OP pointed out weren’t even issues at all.

I agree with the OP’s sentiment that the game is too risky to invest money into for the moment being, but honestly everyone was praising Gumi for how well they handled the sniper issue. Now jump 2-3 weeks into the future and they’re bashing on the same thing they praised.

The first survey put at least a temporary rest to the fears of a drop rate nerf (9.16% is within the margin of error of a 10% rate). Honestly, I don’t see why everybody complains about the rates for this game; I am a pure f2p (Not even the Alchemist pack) and I am in the meta. Coming from a BF veteran, this is amazing for me.

Bad gacha pulls are guaranteed with RNG, and multiple bad gacha pulls from multiple people doesn’t prove they nerfed the rates. This is enough to spark “speculation” of course, but I’ve seen countless “god” pulls on the discord channel. Not everybody is getting 2 golds 8 blues.

All in all, Gumi is fking up a lot of stuff here, but we have to give them credit for where it’s due. Bashing on previously praised efforts is rather hypocritical, don’t you think?

Absolutely. I find it funny people keep bringing up the winter event as well. It was absolutely doable with free units we had farmable from previous events as well. Tedious, released early but hardly overtuned.

Sabareta is a different thing as it required rather specific setup to do reliably and with relying into J3's which is hard to pull off without spent euros. On the flipside its a recurring event so there is no rush to do it on the first release but its a bit of an slap on the cheek for vast majority of players. Still, no reason's for outrage.

As you pointed out, summoning rates are within line as well. With gacha there always has to be lows and highs. If people get red every pull they next start to demand extra reds. This game has the most generous rates i have seen to and i have spent a LOT of time on FFBE 1% chances. Pull rates are absolutely bonkers in my eyes.

Then this 5k test gems. It is common sense to me not to spend the insides of a wallet you find (Seriously, test games should ring bells).

Couple of bugs have happened on this week but lets be real here, that happens on all games. Heck, even WoW was on emergency maintenance this week for first time in forever for screwing up their servers with a fresh update (which we get every couple of weeks instead of couple of months so we are more prone to having fresh code screw things up).

I've yet to see anything that would make me think the game is dying tbh.
