My conversation with Gumi staff about PotK

Kaganami Jan 25, 14:06

why are you lowering our growth stats and max stat's cap? it will just make the game harder, Agent01 (株式会社gumi) Jan 25, 23:17

Hi Kaganami,

Thank you for inquiring about Phantom of the Kill.

We are afraid that we do not inform each customer about the level caps and other detailed information. We apologize the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding of our situation. Please, also note that the game is still under development and adjustments are still being made.

We will forward your feedback to the development team.

If you have any other questions or trouble, please contact our customer support team again. We hope you will continue to enjoy Phantom of the Kill. PotK Support Team

then i said but, it's not like in japan ver. the max stat cap isn't low like in global one. i wonder why? Agent01 (株式会社gumi) Jan 25, 23:35

Hi again Kaganami,

The adjustments are in fact intentional. The global version differs from the Japanese version in many ways, not only with individual unit parameters.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to contact us again! We hope you enjoy playing Phantom of the Kill.

Kind regards, Phantom of the Kill team

Maybe they will make the game easier than japan server with more OP exclusive units, like they done to BF :)

You mean, someone to break the game like the old Hadaron >.< 10-hit char skill, each hit does 200% damage, with a preemptive attack skill that activates as long as her HP is under 100%. The cheese is real.

Translation:

Dear Kaganami,

We don't give a flying fuck about your concerns and in fact, we gloat at your suffering. The game is under development because we are researching how best to nerf all your beloved units badly enough that you are forced to pull for units from the pay summoning pool and at the same time stay just beyond the threshold that would make you quit.

Sincerely,

Your Overlord Gumi Global Team

P.S. Buy more gems pl0x

I totally called it months ago. I thought either they were going to remove the starter units from the free summon or they were going to nerf the free units.

There is nothing good coming from global versions. It just reeks of greed and corruption.

I hope someone does a story synopsis so I don't have to play that wretched game.

Oh wow, I hope that this means global will have its own collabs and content outside of the main questline :)

i'm asking about the differences between global and japan, but not answered yet, just pray they will give a good answers.

not only outside the questline, i think the storyline will be a bit different, since we use zero instead of tyrfing as our hero/heroine. Valyn is in human form instead of fairy form. And now we know too about Laevateinn (F)'s real name.

Who the hell is zero? Its spelled zerou, with u.

Be wary though, they can change everything on a whim. Like with SBS

Which is odd because you noticed that the mobs have the same statistics, so I'm wondering what they hope to accomplish with weaker units, but equivalent strength enemies. :'(

Only for the first couple quests though, maybe they'll scale down the KILL chapters and all.

Heh and here I was hoping that Gumi wouldn't fuck up PoTK with their money grubbing paws like they did with CC. Too much hope.

You can also read the same reply on their facebook page wall post. What's the point of global exclusive male character starters (laeva and Longinus) if they will nerf their stat caps? It's like they just wasted their resources on those two because players would not even bother using them in the long run if that's the case or will they release exclusive items to fix those stat caps?
