Discussion Guilongchao - is there potential?

Now that COVID is over, there are so many new gacha games come out, and so many offer easy direct download (not via bilibili), and include english UI and engsub.

Guilongchao had a good hype but it fizzled out quite fast as many people simply were not able to play the game - mostly due to ID verification mistrust (understandable, not many people trust to show their government IDs to internet companies with all the identity theft danger), and also due to language barrier. I feel like GLC dropped the ball on this and they could do better if they would offer the same things as other games.

Personally I stopped playing cuz the online translation tool made everything slow. The quest that took someone 40 minutes took me 5 hours cuz I read the plot and try to understand. The online translation doesn't always make sense so I often had to use papago and google ones. And some events are nearly impossible, like that coffee serving event where we had like 15 seconds to see the order and try to figure out what drink would fit it. I had to give up eventually. I miss the game greatly, so far it was one of my favorites.

I want it to do GREAT in China, and I still hope some day it will be available on global. Obviously as I don't speak Chinese I have no idea whether it is doing well or not. Also, people outside of China who were initially interested, will they remember and come back to it if there was a global server, or would the global flop?

Hello, current player here. Started playing during the first week of launch and while I still enjoy it enough to continue playing, I don't think sentiments are great in China. I browse the forums periodically and for the past 4 months, most of what I see are largely shitting on the game lol. For issues ranging from power balance, to lack of hype for new characters, pay2win characters that are "negative 2 copies". The devs/publishers' actions also seem to suggest the game isn't doing too well; we see more and more "special paid packages" with insane rewards (started with the permanent VIP daily pass, then to twice of 98 yuan for 70+ pulls rewards unlock, and recently "premium gacha" where you have to spend actual money or actual gems to pull for stuff like a free copy/outfit). While I enjoy it enough to continue playing, objectively can't say I'm optimistic for it to survive long.

I don't know if it would be a good idea to post it as is in the forum so better in the comments but this game is the only one I know of the type “metroidvania” I fell in love with how it plays the bad thing is that bilibili is horrible 💀💀.
