>10 rupees have been deposited to your account

I can already jerk off to cartoon children on steam tho, why would I need a gacha to do that?

oh right, that happened
anyways back to uma

You know what I surprisingly like about Blue Archive? How subdued the designs are.

They're literally all just different flavors of schoolgirl. No overdesigned shit or knickknacks all over their body. Just a girl, her uniform, and a halo. The guns barely matter even.

In fact, the halos are GENIUS designs. I've jerked off to a ton of gachasluts but I can always tell when it's a BA chick because of the halo. Actually insanely clever design choice.

Raise your Jumby

>>714481657
Thank you saar!

How do I reroll in steam? I lowrolled on the entire 10 rolls. I tried deleting the game save files. Is my account bricked?

>>714481586 (OP)
Customizable ride

how are people already level 90? am i missing something? i’m just doing main quests for exp

>>714481586 (OP)
Oh boy more chinkslop my favourite

>>714481941
yeah the halos are great

>>714481586 (OP)
they can port it wherever they want, i'll never touch that shit

>>714482321
>how are people already level 90
the game has been out for 4 years. steam release is just release of their pc client.

>>714482332
koreans actually.

>>714482321
the game was already out before steam release

>>714482295
Upper right corner of your lobby, there's a "reset account" option hidden in some sub menu

>>714482321
It's not a new server.

do i have to finish the dailies? they seem annoying

>>714482519
You should
They also only take like 5-10 minutes

>>714481980
simple strategy is easier, its meant so you can just auto all the stages instead of having to manually do puzzle stages when you just want to farm new items.

However if you use simple strategy on hard mode stages you cant claim the instage pyros so theres an incentive to do command.

>>714482295
You shouldn't physically delete anything. Verify files through steam before launching the game again. Top right corner button in the lobby -> there is a "reset account" button there. Press that and you're good to go. Just don't confuse it with the "close account" button", no idea what the fuck that does but i'd rather not risk finding out.

>>714482519
That's what cattle do, you wouldn't want to upset daddy nexon, do you?

Haven't played in AGES.

I don't even know what simple strategy thing does. I've finished my missions ages ago. I think it's only for the board game stages? Anyway, missions have always been easy. You can clear them like 30 levels below the suggested level.

>>714482785
It skips the entire stage and sends you to the boos battle, you can't get the 3* achievements,, though

>>714482785
With simple strategy you only have to beat the boss so you save a lot of time and only need one team.

>>714482473
Thanks, that worked.

I just noticed that the steam version doesn't seem to have the web event button in the cycling shortcut icon on the right. No idea if there's a way to access it, but it's the new players who need those mats the most and if they don't even know about it and miss out it kinda sucks.

>>714482519
Not all of them, just 9 is enough.

can I get Iroha somehow? this is important

>>714481974
The mark of the beast...
Happy 4th of july

>>714482756
>Battle Hoshino
it can't be more than 6 months ago then

>>714482519
No need to do all of them, just enough to fill the bar at the bottom and get 20 pyros.

>>714483147
So, almost all of them?

>>714483097
she's a permanent student, so you get spooked by her anytime

>>714483097
She isn't limited, so she could spook you at any time. No idea of when they will rerun her banner again though.

should I play this or the horse racing one?

>>714483143
That's a eternity for a gatcha.

>>714481586 (OP)
why should I play your gacha over the horse girl one?

>>714483263
Flip a coin

>>714483186
They kinda auto-complete for the most part, but probably not when you've just started and haven't unlocked a lot of modes and mechanics yet.

>>714482519
It really isn't that annoying because you don't actually have to go out of your way to complete 9 missions.

>>714483186
>missions
>hard mission
>lessons
>bounty
>tactical challenge
>log in after x hour
>increase affection at the cafe with 1 student
>complete at least 6 daily tasks (yes, this is a mission)
And that's it, you're done.

>>714482519
You don't have to do ALL the dailies, just enough for the daily pyrox. So stuff like Commissions is often skipped.

>>714483263
We don't know your preferences. They're both free, so why not give them a try and see if you like them and which one appeals to you more.

So I started the steam client with a guest account and decided to reroll on my phone, but now I can't link my phone/nexon account too the steam client.
How do I go about that?

>>714483415
Or the scrims.

blue archive needs more femdom doujinshi

What's the best settings for graphics?

>>714483462
Go to options a switch account on pc.

Is it F2P/light spender friendly?
how bad is the FOMO in this game?

>>714483494
Are they even in the daily tasks? Either way, I do them when they have double drops. Because you pretty much never do them otherwise. But at some point you will want to have those UE upgrade mats, so you have to do scrums at SOME point.

>>714481586 (OP)
Circumvallating inr

>>714483634
>Is it F2P/light spender friendly?
unironically yes, the game throws 10 pulls at you like games throw .5 rolls

>how bad is the FOMO in this game?
if you care about meta theres very little fomo, if you care about bed breaking sex with students it can get pretty bad

I've been stuck at unpacking game resources for 30 mins ᓀ‸ᓂ

brats when?

>>714483634
Extremely friendly, i don't regret spending on it at all!

>>714483634
Really F2P friendly, but you should try to plan your rolls anyway. Look up pyroxene planner and become acquiescent with it.

>>714483795
3 months.

>>714483795
Mid september/early october

I'm still in awe of the Steam client, but I don't really have anything left to do in BA for the day... Time to do the weeklies in ZZZ.

Should we post fren codes?

>>714481586 (OP)
are you telling me the company who made my favorite f2p childhood cod clone (combat arms) created this slop?
what the fuck

>>714483880
>>714483923
thank you

>>714483634
>Is it F2P friendly?
Extremely so. It's the reason why you see retarded gacha warriors in BA threads posting about revenues. The paypig slaves to other gachas are gloating over how BA... isn't preying on its players.

>>714483981
I don't like newcuties

Is this the game with the big tiddy angel?

>>714483634

Nexon is fucking HUGE. Korea is living in cyberpunk right now, they're ruled by megacorps. Nexon includes a ton of smaller studios, formerly independent and in-house alike.

>>714484080
...were you thinking of Mika?

>>714484141
Mika isn't big tiddy
He's probably thinking of something else, or he thinks Hasumi is an angel

>>714484098
just headpat her for like a minute before pulling

Missions and hard missions.

Any in game foot content?

>>714484294
if its super duper early just farm the normal stages for equipment to deck out everyone or maybe commissions if you need exp

Usually we would have an event up but they're saving it for next week

>>714483981
what's this? You need the help of senpai?

The angel of justice

>>714484294
Progress Normal Missions to unlock Cafe upgrades.
Do Hard Missions for farmable students, because there's double drops right now.
Maybe you can skip scrims for now, if you're new, because it's late game resource farming.

>>714484294
any of the normal stages (that aren't divisible by 3) or the hard missions

do people play this shit just because of the pretty girls? I can't see any other reason to sink money and time into any sort of gacha crap

>>714484024
>>714484121

Too much.

I thought the rerolling on that first time was a gimmick in the entire game so I didn't do it now I wish I did

Leave just BA, and arguably AK. Their designs are too good. Also, apparently the gacha community half-jokingly considers BA an AK successor.

>casualy lifts hoshino with iron horus on her back
How strong is Sensei exactly?

>>714481586 (OP)
>cant even beat the horses
You now remember when this was called the "FGO killer" and "the next touhou"

>>714484686
As strong as an average Japanese salaryman ojisan.
Phrenapates was also walking with all that armor/medical equipment on him the entire time.

>avatar or signature use

>>714484385
The homescreens of Karin, Himari, Kirara, and others I forgot.

>>714484892
that's none of your business you fucking retard, i will play whatever I want

>>714484903
If you started on Steam without linking first, it possibly created a brand new, and possibly Korean Nexon account when you did. People on SPUF seem to be running into this issue often. So you'd need to go to the Korean Nexon site, log into the Korean account, unlink Steam from there, and link it in your Global/EN Nexon account.
Or something like that.

>>714481586 (OP)
why should i care
how is this different from a bunch of other gachas?

Persona5x mogs it so much. I can't play menu simulators anymore

>>714484896
Wouldn't surviving Sumire's training only make him stronger? I know Alice says that we're weak, but I'm really curious about Sensei actual strength

(You) are still youthful right?

Any reason not to do this now?

>>714485363
Sumire's training sounds hellish probably cause she's usually around nerds at Millennium who sits on their asses all day.
Physically able Millennium students like the maids or Eimi probably can survive it without much problem.
So if Sensei can survive it he's around the level of weaker students but still below the stronger ones.

Is this even worth playing after 4 years?

>>714485863
its better than ever

>>714485534
Bluefes is in a few days, where all 3 star students have increased drop rates, if there's a specific student you're hoping for you might get them then anyway

>>714485534
The reason not to do it is that it's paid. If you've already consciously bought it then yeah, there's no reason not to use it, it's just a 10-roll with a guaranteed 3-star that will expire in a month if you don't use it.

though I do hope the bros get it

Tried everything I could find and nothing works. Still stuck on the pink screen. I hope they do something about this on their end since I know I'm not the only one with this issue.

It's dumb I can run so many different bigger games easily but somehow the silly chibi gacha is giving me trouble.

>>714486010
Why do they want it when they can already get it on dmm

>>714486160
the only issue I had so far was videos not loading, like the title and PVs, I got those to work by installing VP9 and AV1, previously it was just black but I could still play the game.

>>714486160
you need a ray tracing gpu to render the sex scenes.

>>714487072
Are you sure they see that. If it's privated it should only be visible to you and it will show up on the timeline for obvious reasons. The screenshots you make are just stored in a folder, unless you specifically pick one and publish it.

>>714488808
>why F?
because the devs didn't know if blue archive would survive even a single year so they wrote an "ending" to the story in case they had to close the servers

>>714488945
Nagisa is useful everywhere though.
Even in chesed.

>>714483263
Horse game turbo grindy and you can get most of the good parts of the story from the anime and OVA
BA story is really good and really can't be experienced in any way other than a VN format. Also the anime is shit.
Also Cygames is the most Jewish gacha company out there, worse than fucking Raid Shadow Legends and that game is from fucking Israel.

>that shows in my library but i wasnt sure if my friends could see that
Yeah, no need to worry. Of course it shows you your own activity in the library, but as long as it's set to private none of it will ever be shown to your friends, neither will they ever see that you're playing it or get notifications of you starting the game.

should i watch the anime?

>>714487072
It actually will. The Activity Feed snapshots your activity and there's no way to remove something from it.

>>714489542
The anime is pretty terrible

>>714489115
you're meant to read it in release order but i made a couple of changes to make it easier to digest while still being coherent, otherwise there would be even more jumping back and forth

>>714489115
It's basically just release order. For example Volume 1 Chapter 3 is the most recent one, it uses concepts and a character introduced in Volume F. So reading it first would spoil shit for you. The game might warn you that you should read certain parts of the story first, I'm not sure, it does that for events, but I forgot if you get that for the main story, too.

>>714489115
It's unintuitive, but that's the actual timeline of the events (events are not included in the list anon provided but they're also all there). The volumes indicate which group of characters the story is focused on. Chronologically, Chapter 2 of volume 2 happens after the entirety of volume 3, but it's not volume 4 because it still follows the characters from volume 2.

>>714489672
Its not good but i liked it

>>714489542
Fuck no, it's a badly animated retelling of volume 1. The only good thing about it was the OP.

abydos lost

>>714489193
Unironically, none. Do not roll beyond the initial tutorial summon and save everything for the upcoming bluefes banners with double SSR rate. Those are two weeks away, but before that on the 8th Seia/Uniform Asuna banners will provide you 10 free rolls per day, adding up to 100. Be sure to use those because they don't carry over beyond the banner itself.

As somebody who doesn't care about gacha games should I just watch the story on YouTube instead?

This game made more in one day than concord for its entire life.

>>714484461
BA is very low on time investment.

>>714492024
oh yeah, I remember when america was still a thing, shame what happened to them

>>714492104

>>714492378
what a flop

>>714492378
lost to uma... lost to persona...
I thought this game was mega ultra popular

as a new player, what am i saving my gems for?

>>714492559
shut up retard.

>>714492559
It's ultra popular in comiket, which is the only metric that matters.

>>714492615
Next banner in 3 days, and Bluefes, which has doubled gacha rates

>>714492615
bluefes in 2 weeks, double SSR rate and access to the new anniversary units along with the previous ones

>>714492615
Seia, during the next banner in a few days

why do they all have guns

i know nothing about this game. i've scrolled through entire threads, including this one, and never saw any gameplay.
how do i already know it's >90% VN and the rest is an anime cookie clicker

>>714492615
your wife
>but I want to metagame in this
roll on hanako in 2 weeks until you get her. This fucking girl

Is it impossible to get more than two 3* units? I rolled for two hours and never got it once? Is it just that my luck is bad and I should just give up on gacha?

i hate numberfags so much its unreal

Nagisa is soooo pretty.

Happy Birthday!

>>714492960

Here's your gameplay

>>714492971
this entire community was built around numberfagging fanart likes and comiket circles lmfao

>>714492941
It's a vn with autobattler.

>>714492941
>how do i already know it's >90% VN
Because it is. That's the part the players like. MomoTalks and the MSQ are the best parts of the game.

>>714483634

You can get almost everything in 1 year of you are patient.

>>714492971
BA are the orginal numberfags

>>714492679
>>714492735
>2 weeks
thanks

>>714492794
is she good? i want to use my gems to build strong team first before chasing cute girls

Seia isn't sexy

>>714493191
If you think noompers cricljerks started with BA you are probably underage, a reddit tourist, or both

>>714493239
Yes, she cuts in half the cost of skills, and also buffs damage

>>714485381

I'm actually almost 40.

>>714493239
Bluefes characters are always overpowered, ideally you'll want to get Seia, Rio and swimsuit Hanako to have the strongest start, during Bluefes 3 star drop rates are also increased, so you're more likely to get more students to fill your roster

>>714492967
You can get more than 2, but it's unlikely.

>>714490728
Why the fuck do you care

>>714492967
I've seen screenshots today of newbies getting 4. Doesn't matter much since the tutorial roll only features day one 3* students. As long as you get Shun and another 3* you're good. Ideally, Hibiki, Iori or Aru, but it really doesn't matter in the long run, all of them but Shun are farmable somehow. Not to mention that in 2 weeks you'll get a shitton of unrestricted srandard 3* students on the double rate fes banners anyway.

>>714493295
Not an argument

>>714492941

>>714492941
look it up on youtube, it's not that hard amigo

>comparing new releases to a 4 year old game that got ported

Yeah I think we won

>>714493480
>>714493029

I like Kayoko :)

Post gameplay

>not all sprites are sharpened
sadge

>>714493239
She's a great support and you'll be getting 100 free rolls on her banner so don't jump the gun and hopefully you'll get lucky with those. The one who you really want to go after and save all the pyros for is Summer Hanako in 2 weeks. She's absolutely busted, will carry you through all the content including endgame modes, she's AOE that does single-target damage to enemies in a cone, her EX skill cost is tiny and it can be used up to 3 times in quick succession, she throws a dildo at the enemies, barely gives a fuck about armor type and doesn't even wear panties under that shirt.

I give up
Steam is not linked to any other nexon game, installed first descendant, not linked account, linked my BA PC client guest account to a secondary email, to try and switch it, but whatever I do, when I link my actual nexon account, it only shows the PC Guest account to choose.

How's the gameplay in this video game, is it fun? It's really fun right?

>>714493480
You act like this is an argument but it's been plainly stated every time someone starts this gay argument is that the game is a visual novel first and foremost.

>>714493862
first reaction when I triple propose to my to-be wives

Little up for newcuties
Pvp doesn't really matter and you shouldn't lose your mind about it
Have fun!

>>714494098
I find the raids in the game fun, yes

>Check steam forums
>Linux supported
>But not touch screen
FUCK, so close to perfect
I actually have a few other issues, but it may be AMD related, where the game just stops working if I try to change the window size in window mode.

>>714494054
did you unlink the guest account in the game, I think they added that a few hours back

>>714494125
actually it does
you get pyrox for every rank you reach for the first time

>>714494125

I get to rank 500 and never touch it again for the rest of the season.

can I skip the story at start?
it doesnt seem that interesting

>>714494229
it's the only reason to play

>>714492559
I think you forgot when it was about to go bankrupt LOL

Tip for newfags, pvp gets you free stamina via shop coins and crystals

>>714489130
Stop trying to make me play gacha

Next week all new Senseis get black student FOR FREE

>>714494203
>5 more pyros
getting into gold is piss easy and then it doesn't matter anymore

>>714490354
I've played a few of them FE Heroes, Fate/GO, DOA VV. I lost interest and stopped playing them pretty quickly. I just watched the Fate/GO story on YouTube because I'm a big Fate fan and I actually like Type-Moon VNs. So I think I'm just gonna watch it on YouTube, I don't really care about playing the game all that much and it's just gonna be a waste of time.

Stop sending me messages, I'm your teacher, not your friend. Talk to me in class.

>>714494229
yes, there's a designated button that skips the chapter and gives you a little summary, why you'd skip the story in what's basically a VN is curious, but you do you
a little heads up though - some parts of the story have combat encounters, you got to clear those with no way of skipping

>>714494334
More mobs for me, then

>>714492971
the entire gacha existence is based on numbers
if retarded cattle won't pay enough they'll close down the servers forever and you lose everything you retarded golem

Newfags, reminder to do the Grand Assault raid as soon as you can before Monday. Clearing even the easiest difficulty will give you a 10-roll ticket.

Chances are modding might be great.

Never skip your pvp battles, it will decrease your chances of winning.

>>714494505
hmm.... nyo, i think i will skip them because it doesn't matter

>>714494359
it does matter for newfriends who start in bronze

>>714494343

Do you still have yours?

>>714494654
Not after this blufes

>>714494654
I'm holding it for real emergencies like mutsuki (dress)

>>714488275
Die Juden stecken dahinter

>>714494654
i destroyed mine by accident

>>714494728
How do people never have enough pyroxene? The game gives out so much even if you're a turbo casual like me as long as you just play the game for 15 minutes everyday and don't roll every single banner.

>>714494225
>not rushing to rank 1 the moment the new season starts
its like you hate getting free pyros

>>714494941
I had banners to roll on

Guess I'll stick to Limbus Company...

>missed out on all the fomo and collabs of 4+ years that will probably never ever come back

There's not much point playing this shit right? I despise fomo of any form in games

>>714495057
The collabs are ass and everything else comes back around eventually

>>714494654
I don't pay attention to anything in this game. I geared a couple characters to get through content and the rest of the time I focus on one single girl.

>>714494407
the thumbnail tricked me, I thought there were some tan versions of that mob

>>714494654
yep, my autism won't let me miss a unique item for a mere 600 pyros, specially when I have 200K saved for limited anyways

>>714495057
Collab units are kinda shit so you're not missing out much unless you're a hardcore Mikufag or Raildexfag
FOMO stuff isn't that bad, shit tends to get reruns every 6-12 months

>>714495137
>600
It's 1200. You really think he would leave you with half a 10 pull?

>>714494941
they probably roll every event, I save all my pyros for limited characters and my waifu, so I always have +100K saved at all times

>>714495057
>that will probably never ever come back
there's constant event reruns thoughbeit
and some of the older events can be played at any time because they added a specific recap tab for them (you still get rewards, no minigames though)

>Drop from under 200 to 400s in PVP
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY 5 PYROXENE

>>714495182
I hear there's other shit you cant get anymore like furniture and stuff, I have the autistic need to completionist games and if it never comes back around I dont think I can play

So do ALL the girls show up in the story and events or no?

>>714494654
I do

>>714495357
yes

>>714494343
She also has a fat ass

>>714495357
Every girl shows up at least once in a story or event, yes. Some get shafed more than others though

>>714495210
still not worth losing a unique item, I'm in no hurry for Pyroxene, and also I have like 7 10-pull tickets

>>714495092
>The collabs are ass
shut up

>>714495440
but you'll never have the other unique item you get for using it

>>714495357
yes, there are no "random character you won't find anywhere", even the ultra limited characters like the collabs with Miku and Raildex had entire story events for them

>>714495440
>>714494941
I don't understand how you get so much, do you ONLY roll on fest? That is so boring for a gacha. I've only rolled on 3 banners since last fest and i have 49k

>>714486297
No microsoft store installed. Is there another way of installing VP9?

>>714495357
the story is their main way of introducing new characters

>>714494456
What are even the unlock conditions for GA? Is it reasonable for them to get access to it?

>having fun going through combat stages
>have to go read the story to unlock more
why do gachas always do this shit

>>714495481
I get your point, but the entire card still tops the remains by rarity

>>714495580
I remember some anons saying they wouldn't pull for Misaka during the Raildex event because they didn't like the show or character

Imagine Neru gf

>>714495710
Huh? The story and the campaign stages have been separated for years now?

>>714495692
>Unlocked after clearing Mission 4 Act 1

>>714495640
for me it's a mix of that and luck, I always roll for the limited characters, my waifu or a character I really really need for a comp, but that's when the luck factor comes it, because most of the time I get the character in 5 pulls, sometimes multiple 3-stars during that or in a single pull, that's why I also have most of the girls already

>>714495692
I think they have to clear up to a certain stage of normal missions, like the first 4 areas or something.

>>714495640
I roll a few times times between fests. Last non-limiteds I rolled for were Satsuki, Fubuki, Kanna, Kisaki, and Reijo (because I got Kisaki at 190, so I thought I might as well hit pity and get Reijo).

Remember it was Blue Archive the game that started the trend of giving Miku a fat ass and legs

>>714495405
>>714495425
>>714495580
>>714495685
Alright, thanks, I like that.

>>714494654
It's the only keepsake Plana and Kuroko got of Phrenapates-sensei, there's no way I could be selfish enough to use it.

>>714495651

im not gonna make it am i

>>714496174
Not bad, you got Shun which is always good.

>>714496174
shun and tsubaki good
good job

>>714496249
if you are a new player you are better off making a new account, if you are an old player and didn't know about Seia and Neru coming soon then it's your own fault

>>714496174
Yeah Shun is nice. Of course you can always do even better if you really want to.

>>714496249

quick, anon go read the story and get tons of pyros

He never got to say goodbye properly after all

>>714495984
I know she's trash but I'll forever regret not getting her...

>>714496249
you should know about coming characters, even if you don't watch the streams or announcements the global server is like a half a year behind the asia one, you fucked up

>I spent all my tickets trying to pull toki

>>714494974
I get to like 6, but the top 5 autists that beat me to it are significatly tougher and trying to beat them really feels like a waste with minimal gain and no guarantee of returns compared to rushing from the bottom to near the top.

>>714496249
well... do you have a credit card?

>>714496249
Nah you're based. The only way to play a gacha is to let your dick decide

>>714496675
I dumped everything on her and got nothing. Good thing rerolling your account is easy

>>714482519
Welcome to the stable, you are not poor and can find 10 minutes a day?

>>714496270
>>714496298
Ah that's good to know then thanks
>>714496357
For a first time this probably is a good starting point so I'll probably keep it as is

>>714494654
Yes, and I intend to keep it.

first roll today, that was easy

>>714496907
might as well reset your account now dude

if I have to read the words "shittim chest" one more time im gonna fucking lose it

>>714496675
do banners even matter in this game
I first rolled for maid momoi and on my second 10pull I got both toki and sleepy yuuki (iirc was in the last rotation)
feels like the game was mocking me

>>714495857
>>714495872
Oh, that's actually reasonable, yeah. They can easily beat at least Hardcore by borrowing a maxed dHina, which reminds me - they should also join a club.

>>714497095
https://rentry.co/bagcraftingguide

>>714497156
I got both yuuka and noa (pajamas) trying to roll ny mutsuki, the chances are higher in respective banners but they're still low enough for some silly shit to happen

>>714497000
>expecting to be rewarded for abandoning your students

>>714495710
That's not the case. Missions and story haven't been related in any way since year 1. And it was actually the other way around - you used to have to progress through missions to be able to read new story chapters. And the fact that it's been abolished is actually the reason why THAT roadblock exists for those who just read through the story without touching missions at all.

>>714495456
Not even Touma wants them so why should we?

>>714496907
That's what I did when I was new but with Neru, and then I focused on buying a ton of her elephs. Fuck waiting

Only installing because Ui looks cool. Where do I roll for her and what do I do with the other rolls?

>>714497969
General gacha pool. You can't guarantee her

>what I was doing
>what are all those things
>what does anything do
Yuuka, can sensei get a refresher on fucking everything? Actually, just sign me up to be a student, that will be faster.

>>714498036
unless you buy the guarantee ticket

>>714498061
Yuuka is your canon wife, btw.

>>714497969
Ui looks like many things, but cool is not one of them.

I don't want to read Abydos third chapter, I'm sure I'll be seething after everything I read about Hoshino's character development being destroyed

>>714498221
ui is very cool

>"the next touhou"
I didn't even know Touhou had a gacha game.

lmao
Gacha games do shit like this all the time on social media, but seeing it in Steam is kinda bizarre. I'm not even sure if that's against the rules or not.

dogwife...

>>714498582
It indirectly solved the problem with the amount of loading screens since they last 1 second now

>>714498546
Even ZUN himself shitted on it.

Reminder that if you rolled Pina, you have the best character in the game. Use her at all times

>>714498646
It's interesting seeing gacha devs try to adapt to steam. Infinity Nikki had a campaign to get 100,000 wishlists which is hilariously unrealistic then very obviously lied about passing the goal, then when the game got bad reviews on steam they botted thousands of positive ones which were removed by valve a couple days later.

>>714496907
sensei....

Gimmie those 2 10-roll tickets nigguh

>>714498646
>Steam’s policies, as outlined in the Steamworks Documentation, explicitly prohibit developers from soliciting reviews in exchange for rewards, such as in-game items, currency, or other incentives. This includes campaigns that tie rewards to a specific number of reviews, even if the reviews can be positive or negative.

>>714496907
Just reroll. Blue Archive is probably the most reroll-friendly gacha of them all, considering how the tutorial banner works, and getting to it takes minutes. Aim for Shun + some other 5*, that's the ideal option.

Reminder that if you rolled Momiji, you have to bweeeeeeh

>>714498817
>>714498646
I do wonder how Valve feels about those gibs bait shit gacha companies do.

I mean I guess they're just asking for a general review not telling people to give them positive reviews so it doesn't count as a reverse reviewbomb.
And the algorithm already takes wishlist quality into account so telling people to wishlist their game on Steam to reach a milestone is probably fine too.

>>714498925
the fact this was right before hoshino shiroko and mika KEKAROOOOOOOOOOO

Uh oh lmao

So these gachas are not games you can just pick up and play every so often right? You either have to pay or grind endlessly to make any progress?

>>714499045

I guess let's hope they don't notice.

Better pray to Kivotos RNG-sama first, brother. I burned 80 rolls and all I got was another Tsubaki dupe and shattered pride.

>>714496907
Nigger when I started playing the game I threw away a roll with NYFuuka and Himari not knowing how good they were because I just really wanted Iori. I had to wait for over a year to get both. But the brown twintailed cockgoblin was just too cute.

>>714494654
He wanted for me to use it and I certainly did

>>714498646
>koreans SOMEHOW ending up proving steam right

Nexon are retards
Just get rid of the reward incentive
Its fine to ask people to review your game

ONLY give out the reward if you reach the goal but never explicitly state that you bribing people for reviews

>>714499329
Why are you rolling before bluefes, you fucking dumbass

>>714499045
gaben will be FUMING

i got bored

>>714498646
>>714499243
Is Aru in charge of this release? What the fuck

>>714499236
Early on you can make progress by playing every so often or grind your ass off if you want to. At one point you'll run out of content and the only thing you'll look forward to is total/grand assaults and event stories, which is pretty comfy.

>Alice's VA is voicing ANOTHER Alice in another gacha
bros...
mihoyo is Alicecucking us...

Theyre gonna get slapped by Valve and have the anti-reviewbomb activate for their game.

>>714498646

So the tl;dr is don't bother with it yet

>>714499579
Every Alice is Alice

When you decide on a student you really like, then you craft autism to get her gifts. That's it really unless you really want to decorate the cafe

>>714499236
If you are playing just for the story or events you'll be fine. If you want to keep up with endgame content and score well in them, you'll suffer.

>>714499045
We're going to get kicked off steam within 24 hours of release

>>714499715
Do bother with it to get a bunch of furniture to raise your comfort, thus raising your ap/credit idle gains. Even though event furnitures give you around 250-350 comfort, you'll need ordinary ones to get max comfort.

why are all students female

>>714499715
Just don't do what I did when I was a newfag. Don't use Eligma as crafting materials.

I got this mommy as my tutorial pull, should I confirm?

She's the only non-farmable unit from the initial pool, though she's not very useful especially early on. I'd say keep her.

Damn, I didn't expect Sensei to be so straightforward. Gacha protagonists are usually far more reserved.

>>714481586 (OP)
How is this superior to just looking up the routes on YouTube?
It's a phone game so there's no way the gameplay is anythng good. I guess you get to molest your students, but I don't care about that.

>>714500464
Oh it gets better

How much of a disadvantage will I be at if I ignore the pvp? Does the game lock a lot of resources and other stuff behind it like other pvp gachas?

>>714500464
all the students smell good

>>714500609
Not a lot. Sure you get pyroxenes every day for doing it, but it's not that much even at the highest rank. Just do it once a day and collect whatever it gives you

>>714500609
Uh, 15-30 pyroxene every day and you miss out on coins to grind students

>>714500609
you get a lot of pyros for climbing PVP for the first time, just do it, and stop and you start seeing real players

>>714500609
Keep doing pvp until you start seeing real players, then ignore it completely.

>>714500609

>>714500798
Is pulling for PvP meta better than PvE as a new player?

>>714500842
there are separate PVP brackets, all of them have the bottom full of bots, you know because they are named after the students, and have random teams

>>714500609
you can use coins to buy some decent students and additional +90AP per day

>>714500360

>>714500609
PVP isn't really PVP, you just click the PVP button at least once per day and then you just forget that it exists

>>714500842
Only the top 500 or so in a branket are real people the rest is Bits
Just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks for now
You can skip the animated fights too if you want

>>714500360
Sorry koharu isn't a futa

>>714500842
Yeah, people are put into different skill brackets, so as a newfag you probably will only face people around your level or at least lower than max level. Since there's so many brackets, a lot are just filled with bots until like top 200 ranks. When I was new, it was pretty easy to get high ranks even at low level.

>>714501024
This is true, Koharu is the one getting bloated with seed by Hanakos futa dick

>>714500924
Most of the top PVP units are used in PVE as well

>>714501024
theres a lot of koharu futa content albeit

>>714501120
Is there a good reroll guide up to date somewhere? Would be helpful

>>714500924
No, absolutely not. The game is primarily PvE focused. But there's not many PvP exclusive students. Look at the current meta:
>S.Hanako
Monstrous purple unit. Primarily PvE, but good in any content.
>Shun
Thanks to her unique utility she finds use in challenges, JFD and some particularly burst heavy raid setups (mostly for lower difficulties though, or cleanup teams).
>S.Shiroko
Same as Shun, a universal burst enabler.
>Shiroko*
Also primarily a PvE unit for auto-attack focused Blue content. Finds use in PvP thanks to being immortal.

The End

>>714501203
only with the tutorial 3*

>>714500924
Not really. If you can get to rank 11-100 you will get 30 pyroxenes daily. If you're 500-1000, which is probably the lowest bracket you can reasonably be, it's 18 per day. So the difference is 12 per day. A guaranteed student on a banner is 24000 pyros. The difference is basically one guaranteed student once every 5 fucking years if you PvPfag.

How else are you supposed to impregnate them?

At the same time it's a bigger difference than between getting platinum vs gold in TA.

Eimi, Maki and Tsurugi are situationally useful, but they're not just farmable, they're available in the raid/JFD coin shops. Meaning they're much easier and faster to max out than the farmable Hard Mission students.
Haruna can still be a decent help for new Senseis, especially when the blue stages start in the main Missions. But she'd be instantly outclassed by the high tier blue attackers.

latam dub when

>>714501498
I appreciate genshin for finally making normalfags skeptical about dubs

>>714501498
I don't care for dubs but I would be okay with this so I can imagine the characters speaking to me while I jack off.

I don't care if it is. I like it.

Not really, it was a bit awkward and there wasn't a lot of worthwhile content, the audio was terrible, too. These kinds of streams fall apart when the public isn't constantly saying sugoi pachi pachi kawaii.

You have a tick or something? You have been trying to mock and bait on BA threads, for God knows how long, and you always say kek at the end of your sentences

No shit, you are a faggot. Being cynical doesn't change that.

Only regular dog is good. She got an accessory recently that buffs her. Still, she's no Nagisa.

Like I said before, being cynical about it doesn't change your situation.
You are a homo, that simple.

She used to be much stronger but yeah, her subskill targetting the enemy with the least HP will always be useful.
