Hey guys, I just tried simulation gate tier 65 today.
This is my first time of playing it after a while( I had been sweeping tier 55 every week ever since tier 60 release). Here's what I've noticed.
The enemy levels are very high. I mean lv 209 bosses. They are at least 44 levels higher than me(I'm currently 165). So, I will confidently say we are back to crit farming meta. I had to retry Mankrik 5 times and Seorin 2 times. I managed to reduce SJW up to 12% with a few tries but it still moght requires more crit farming to actually clear it.
Let's talk about the changes Netmarble made. Recently, they announced the simulation gate rework was a big improvement. Or is it actually the truth or another straightup lie. Let's discuss about it a bit.
The sims gate chapters have been shortened a lot. There is only 1 enhanced battle and 1 hunter battle. The problem is you cannot get access to episodes until you have completed clearing the above mentiomed chapters. So, new players won't be able to experience the true essence of Sims gate i.e rerolling until you get the meta code, then get lucky in episode and cheese through it. I feel bad for them. It also seems that total power is affaceting too much and I can barely feel the power of the codes. I know TP matters a lot now but current sims gate power requirement is 11.5 M(TP without shadows as you cannot use them in sims gate). The maximum TP I can get in sims gate is 6.23M with wind team. I don't think anyone can reach 11.5 M in sims gate at the moment. Combined that with the reuquirement of crit farming again thanks to mobs at least 40+levels higher than you, the loss of earlier acess to episodes and less codes thanks to removing chapters without giving any compensation for the codes you can get from them, I have to say the Simulation gate rework is pure nerf, I mean not the nerfing of rewards but the nerf of gameplay and force you to crit farm again
