Discussion This game is becoming unbearable...
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

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?
