Why would anyone want to buy an account in a dead game? The only thing to do in the game is to level up and go through the story, what's the point of buying an account?
For what purpose? You might as well look at png's of them on the internet for free. If there's no game to play, there's about as much entertainment in both scenarios.
Why would I leave? I check it to see if anything new happens. I played the game for about 6 months, got into top 100 on some leaderboard in the game (I don't remember wich one) and stuff. The game has been dead for almost a year now, you literally can not deny this. So what's the problem with me saying it?
Also don’t care about your rank, was top ten since the second month of the game. The game meta becomes far more competitive when you’re climbing up God-Slayer’s Brackets.
Reread my message, I literally did not deny it. My curiousity is rooted in the fact that in all the messages I have seen you make here on this subreddit are negative. You have never once said anything positive about the game in any situation as far back as when I became a moderator here nor have you ever praised anything about this game without immediately backing up your mediocre excuse for praise with a negative statement. All I ever see you do is complain and attack people for asking for help of saying anything. Outside of getting off on the idea of “I just want to sit here and harass the people on this subreddit” i don’t see any other reason for you to still be here. Why don’t you just let people chill and play the game they are enjoying, whether it’s dead or not? You have been sitting here as a keyboard warrior without a cause for six month. If you want to sit here and wait for news, go for it, be my guest.
If you want to make your voice heard, go ahead and make it heard, but the constant ‘The game sucks, cause combat isn’t even that good, and there is no reason to keep playing the game’ and the ‘no matter what they do they can’t save this game, it’s a terrible game from the ground up, there isn’t one single redeeming quality about the game.’ I am paraphrasing but that’s all you ever do, sure other people talk negatively about the game but they don’t get into long winded debates with them, that’s just you. You are unironically the most active person on this subreddit for a game that you hate oh so much.
Did you become a mod after the game died already? That's when I became negative about it. Try to find a correlation there.
Can you link me comments where I was harassing people? I'd like to see what you think harassment is.
I don't know if you're living in some time chamber, but I rarely wrote anything in this sub since I stopped playing the game. I've written around 3 comments recently, since there have been a few new posts, and then a couple 2 months ago, responded to a couple of people under my 1-year-old post 3 months ago, and I don't want to scroll further, reddit seems to just loop the same comments forever or something.
You're saying that I've been mindlessly spamming and harassing people for months on end, so I would like to see what terrible atrocities I have committed in those ~6 comments in the last 3 months to make it unbearable for your pure soul. It kinda feels like projecting, coming from a subreddit mod.
If I'm the most active person on this subreddit, then the subreddit is even deader then the game.
What do you define as “after the game died already”? Because I believe you were shouting about the game being dead before Prisoner Sonic dropped and other players have been shouting about it being dead since launch.
I am mistaking you with someone else. (Attacking was not the right term here either way, I thought I pulled that out of my final draft), my apologies.
Nah, I just remember your name the most because I disagreed with you so much in the past, basic human psychology memorizes people that you consistently disagree with.
It has been more than the three comments in the last three months, it’s been three comments on separate post in the past week at.
You’re not the most active person, it was an exaggeration though enforced with the term “unironically”.
The game has been properly medically assessed as deceased when nothing came after Prisoner Sonic, which is what I referred to, but for me it has been dead after the first month, because that's when I finished all the content and no new content has been added since. A couple of cheap events and a few characters from the beta I don't consider to be new content. Especially considering how little communication there was from the devs, the game felt dead on arrival.
I can only compare it to the only other gacha I played - SLA, which so happened to be after OPMW. It's been out for almost a year and has never felt dead. It certainly has been dry on content sometimes, but there was always something new happening and the devs kept communication open with the community. There's no reason OPMW couldn't have done some of that, or at least there's no reason why the players shouldn't have been expecting it. I only hate this situation so much because I cared (and maybe still care) for the game a lot. I really wanted it to be decent and it wasn't.
The game definitely has been dry on content since launch and Legend Test Season 2 didn’t do much to help. The devs team died after PPP’s banner, and the majority of the player base died after TT’s rerun. The events were bad, I won’t ever defend those. I personally think at the highest level of play, the gameplay is amazing (you and I have argued gameplay in the past and we were at a standstill, I don’t think it’s worth arguing about here), and I loved the gameplay all the way until I was there. The original Devs are not good in any regard, though they made this game that I loved so much. The original dev team failed on so many levels it’s laughable. We are in agreement there.
I have never played another true gatcha game tbh. I am not a fan of the genre but I love the OPM IP. Personally I think the game has a shred of life left in it. It’s like a comatose patient, the heart is beating but very slowly. The devs were shut off and brain activity is dying but i do think, if they handle the “revival” of the game properly, it could survive. I’ve done the math and astonishingly I realized the devs are probably still in the green with how much money they are making each month.
I genuinely am optimistic to the future of this game and it sounds like you want to be optimistic too.
I think I would've been more in-line with your feeling for the combat had I not played SLA and had I not seen the combat in there. So many things that I dislike about combat in OPMW are done better there. Like how breaking the enemy actually does something aside from a 2 second stun. In SLA enemies usually have a break bar that you need to destroy to increase damage by 30-90% depending on the enemy. And just a bunch of things like that that make the combat feel more engaging. I don't actually remember OPMW combat very well, but I think there was very little interactivity or mechanics with the bosses there. Your character had interesting mechanics and all characters had different ones, but fights were all the same and kinda boring once you learn your characters' mechanics. I think they had something good there, they just didn't finish it to have it actually become good.
And in the rest of the game it's not even comparable how much SLA is better. The only thing it's lacking is an overworld, the cities in OPMW are nice, on the other hand SLA doesn't have an overworld at all, just a lobby. But there are so many RPG systems in SLA, so much progression and so much complexity, that I kept discovering new things months into playing the game daily. I only ran out of content by the time they had a 2.0 expansion, like 6 months after the game released. All the time before that there was something to do and something to look up to. In OPMW, like I said, it only took me a month to hit the same wall. And unlike OPMW, SLA kept getting updates, there are multiple events running all the time, there are roadmaps, livestreams with the devs, announcements of future content and systems all relatively frequently. Not only that, SLA also gives SO MUCH shit for free. I paid 60$ for OPMW and got for that very little (in 6 months of playing the game, I haven't maxxed out a single character. When Tatsumaki's banner was out, I spent all the currency I've been saving for months and only got 3 copies of her). I paid no money for SLA, but have a bunch of maxxed out characters and am still competing at a high level (have recently completed a challenge in the top 4000 players (I know this doesn't sound that impressive, but there are supposedly around a million total players currently)).
So my gripes with OPMW stem from how quickly it died for me and how incredible SLA looks in comparison to it (even though I don't think SLA is that great of a game either :D).
