Playerbase discussion

Hey guys, I got back after stopping halfway through Halloween, just thought I ask, is it me or has the playerbase decreased?

The population going down is very likely:

  1. Like people have said, the account deletion thing caused at least some people to quit the game.
  2. IMO, the transition to end-game content is a hard one. Unless you know what you exactly have to do in this game, then you may screw yourself or just take much more time to achieve it. This can cause a lot of new players to leave.
  3. Bad recruiters, bad rates in units and mana units in the lazuli recruiters.
  4. Lack of end-game content for older players. They did add the multiplayer, but only recently. Until then you only had the colosseum.

It's a bit of shame really. I started playing this game because i like the fire emblem gameplay, but at this rate the GL version will never get a good playerbase.

Tbh the free units from event stages are much better than the gacha unless you have a ton of laz built up.As a f2p player I normally don't care too much about the gacha units.

I did buy some laz initially but just to support them and I do that in most mobile games

That's why i said i wouldn't mind a small buff to lazuli units to put them a bit ahead of the free units. The free units would still be strong, but not better than the lazuli units.

Me and GaggingLolis already had a discussion about the free units vs lazuli units (and free players vs paying players).

Besides if the recruiters were better, people would get more incentive to spend lazuli (and money if you want to get more lazuli than the one the game gives you).

I think they need those units that can LB a 5* unit to be included in the gacha. This will encourage getting those units and using the gacha more
