Thread 723453445

Now everything has simmered down, what does /v/ think of Wuthering Waves? Will it survive for another year, or has Kuro's creativity and imagination already hit a plateau in 2.X?

Open World gacha with discardable paper thin characters?

>>723453445 (OP)
It'll survive, they have a large enough paypig cult now. That's why their "main story" is just a series of disconnected companion quests meant to sell the character. All new areas are literally disconnected too, being their own islands that don't integrate into the rest of the game at all. Events are below browser game tier.

>>723453445 (OP)
Apprehensive notation

I think a Nightreign style PVE mode will be a great addition and gives coop some purpose outside of pilfering materials from randos. That's a great long-term combat-oriented endgame, but I think the issue with this is players may end up liking this mode over the main game.

bwehs...

I like it, but I already play Genshin and don't have time for Wuwa.

>>723453445 (OP)
the girls are hot, and the art style is done well, but there's really not much else to say about the game. the characters are some of the worst for a big gacha game which is terrible for this kind of game, and the story is utter nonesense. the combat is decent but simple, and since these are fake RPGs there's very little gameplay outside of combat other than shitty puzzles and lame exploration. the game is currently coasting on the fact that the only other competition for open world action anime gacha is genshin, but that will change very soon.

>>723453445 (OP)
I was skeptical for a bit, but no. 2.7 restored my faith. It set up a lot of new plot threads and directions for the story to go. Every part so far has been a banger and they clearly have more shots still left.

>>723453706
Wrong

i think frover should

>>723459119
You know the game has gotten more updates than 1.0 right?
I can understand not understanding the technobabble from 1.0 but aside from that the story is pretty simple and straightforward

>>723459365
nonsense doesn't mean "not understandable"

replacing my giant snu snu elf wife with some stupid edgelord is a bad move.

>>723459439
It literally does, though

>>723459439
then eithere youre retarded or you need to read slower, ive no idea how you dont understand anything from 2.0 onwards, hell even 1.1 onwards is pretty straightforward

>>723459546
nonsense doesn't mean "not understandable"

>>723459574
>>723459489

I literally would not care about WuWa if it weren't for Female Rover.

>>723459603
hi thirdie, i know you don't hear english a lot in your country so you don't actually know the usage of words, but nonsense is often used in cases not where the speaker doesn't understand what is being communicated, but in cases where whats being communicated is absurd, ridiculous, silly, stupid, contrary to good sense, of no importance, or a whole host of things that don't mean "i don't understand"

Who would? I get weirded out whenever I see the dude in people's screenshots. He just doesn't fit in.

>>723459701
just say youre retarded and be done with it or at least explain why its nonsense

>>723459701
>absurd, ridiculous, silly, stupid, contrary to good sense, of no importance, or a whole host of things that don't mean "i don't understand"
That's usually the reaction old people have when their brain can't keep up with what's happening and they give up trying. In other words, you didn't understand.

it's chinkslop the game, shill, and I'm surprised she's still alive

>>723459823
youre retarded

Post Chisa leaks NOW SHIN

>>723459929
so you cant explain, got it.

>>723459971
Chisa is allegedly a support/buffer. She has two forms--sword and chainsaw (it becomes a scissor when combined). New region is from a Japan-based region called Honami City.

>>723460036
i did what you asked of me. don't complain now.

>>723453445 (OP)
it's KINO

>>723460054
How can she be a support character when Buling is a confirmed healer? Two support resonators in the same patch?

>>723460164
I don't want to believe it either. Leaks are leaks, and people lie on the internet after all. Let's wait for the beta test to come out next week, then we'll know for sure.

its geniunely one of the best gacha out there if not straight up the best in the current market.
the Rinascita story arc had some issues but its easily in the top 4 of gacha story chapters along with Avalon fe Fae, Volume END, Surviving Lucem, Nahui Mictlan, just barely beating Eden Treaty.
and this is still a storyline worked on since before the game launched so im excited to see what Kuro does next

>>723460164
Buling is just another useless electro skill buffer like Taoqi and Lumi (i guess Kuro truly did forget Lumi exists)
Chisa is a giga buffer for all the status effect teams (spectro frazzle, aero erosion, havoc bane, etc)

>>723460237
Havoc+broadblade combination sounds really weird for a buffer too. Guess it's not impossible, but a weird design choice if true.

>>723460054
When did they initially reveal the Rinascita characters? Like a patch before its release? I'll just wait to see if there's any sexo to wait for.

>>723460343
weapons havent matched what the character does for a while now, only Augusta really matches the broadblade theme.

>>723460418
2.8 livestream should have sneak peeks into 3.0 like how 1.4 livestream showed Roccia and Carlotta

>>723460418
>>723460462
Yeah, that. I hope they'll also reveal the Edgerunners collab too.

>>723453445 (OP)
Graphics are good.
Gameplay wise it's fine.
The characters look good.
The open world is huge and diverse.

The weakest part is the story. It's not actually bad, but the way it's told feels very amateur hour-ish. Major character suddenly appear in the story, have a big impact and then disappear into the ether for several patches with no explanation only to show up again with no rhyme or reason.

The main story doesn't feel impactful and it's moving along at a snail's pace, but maybe the worst this is that the major antagonists completely no sell everything that's happening in the story and to them. They're always like "This is just according to my plan" and constantly help the MC for some unexplained reason despite being responsible for the problem in the current area in the first place. The writers have a major issue with portraying them as vulnerable and it makes the main story feel unimpactful and boring.

>>723460502
leakers have said edgerunners isnt until 3.4 so 3.3 livestream at the earliest

>>723460568
>ether for several patches with no explanation
there is always explanation why

>>723460568

I assume you mean the Fractsidius, thats because win or lose they get something they want, information, we've known their main goal since 1.0
they want humanity to evolve by mixing with Tacet Discords in other words their goal is similar to Rover in which they want humanity to survive but they just dont give a shit how many have to die for it while Rover doesnt want to leave anyone behind.
They dont help the MC either, only Phrolova ever did "help" Rover but that was because she needed their help more than they needed hers, they have tried recruiting Rover plenty of times but thats about it.

>>723460783
Yeah, and that's boring and safe.

Either write real antagonists, or make them good guys.

>>723460620
And it's a dumb and lazy one every time.

But the leak about there being a peebs rerun next patch was fake? I'll roll for aibo then

People that complain that WuWa is "confusing" confuse me, it's just Genshin terminology with a different name.
Vision (power) / Forte
Vision (item) / Tacet Mark
Vision Holder / Resonator
Domain / Sonoro Sphere
Dragon / Sentinel
Archon / Sentinel Resonator

>>723460432
And even then, hilariously, she never actually uses the one you equip her with.

>>723460783
I'm actually awed how they've managed to keep it ambiguous all this time are the fratboys really good or evil. They do vile shit and kill people on a daily basis, but at the same time, their antics force (you) to get off your ass and work to unite the people and make them stand up for themselves...which is exactly what they want. Their self-proclaimed goals could all be lies just to provoke you into action, which leads to the best possible outcome for everyone.

But the sentinels they want to cast away are also a system (you) presumably invented to protect humanity from extinction, and it's undeniably a necessary system. Which would also make (you) the last boss that Fractsidius must overthrow to achieve their objective. So no matter what, they're an enemy that must be defeated, unless (you) want to end up like Jesus.

>>723460951
such as?

>>723459214
Shill post

>>723460568
Chinese gacha can't have good writing

>>723461617
It must be the anon still crying about Lupa not being in 2.6. Because that's the only example he ever has.

>>723461502
shes actually the one who uses it the most out of all newest characters

I want the Chinese homo but I’m out of Asterite

I dropped wuwa during Iuno's banner.

Just lost interest. It isn't the same game as 1.0(it's worse)

>>723460905
>boring and safe
how so? theyre still doing all kinds of shit and still aided in almost causing the apocalypse twice, they just got their plans thwarted but gained valuable information from it anyway due to the people that rose up to stop them.
they said it themselves at the end of the quest, they got what they came for, an artificial resonator, a threnodian resonator and a 2nd awakening which is all they really needed, Leviathan winning was just a bonus for them.

>>723461693
It's much better than in 1.0

>>723461670
Gotta admit, he's more based than I imagined. The blind warrior archetype hits the cool button for me.

>>723461693
I also feel the same way but won’t bother to give an explanation either

>>723461693
same but lupo

I'm just bored

>>723461759
Not to mention the JP VA

>>723459701
fucking english natives thinking they know the meaning of the words and then hit you with shit like "aluminum" and "could care less" fuck off

>>723461653
But all of her actual swings are with her own broadblade, no? I don't think i've noticed any attacks with the equipped one.

>>723461651
it was explained anyway, Lupa is a sports wrestler while Augusta went on a suicide mission.

>>723461880
everytime she undoes the big great sword she uses the one you equip.

>1.0 is a story about an Archon and his dragon that went rogue but not really
>2.0 is a story about a god who wants to retire and leave people to their own devices
Can't wait for the isolationist land that we'll open up to the world in 3.0

>>723459214
>>723460261
And I thought ubishilla were bad

723462051
>buzzwords instead of an argument of why theyre wrong
you dont even get a (you)

>>723461863
Yeah, it was a surprise they got a legend like Miki.

>>723461976
what are you talking about?

>>723461875
native speakers say that shit because they have a deeper more intuitive understanding of the language so they operate on a higher rhetorical level when it comes to speech. meanwhile retarded ESLs can only understand english as a logic puzzle to be solved so when they see a phrase like "could care less" they think "wait could means they can, therefore they do care! gotcha!" meanwhile every native speaker just rolls their oyes

Story's shit, characters are boring, combat is genshin but slightly better, overall extremely forgettable game but it has its cult of paypigs so it'll live for another 3 or 4 years at least.
Don't get fooled by people praising the 2.X story, they're just so used to the 1.X story being godawful that any kind of improvement is a godsend, and to be air it is improved, just... still boring shit relying on occasional nonsensical action setpieces to sell excitement, like the fucking crumbling indiana jones temple section inside the fucking bank.

>>723462306
the lengths anons go to to justify their utter retardation

>>723462320
It's literally the only good open world anime game with real time combat.

>>723461950
I just checked it with a random broadblade and no, during the attacks where she detaches the trophy blades it's still her base one. So apparently if you're using her sig it replaces the base blade whenever it's revealed, but with any other boradblade equipped it looks like this.

>>723462435
out of what, three ? that's not much of an accomplishment when the other two are so fucking bad.

>>723462320
in terms of gacha standards the story is great though easily among the top with BA, NIKKE, FGO and PGR

>>723453445 (OP)
Mihomo can't help but shit in their own nest, so I can only imagine it getting better.

>>723462483
not even fucking close holy shit
wuwafags are delusional

>>723462320
The game is bad compared to...what? It's Shakespeare compared to anything else that's come out this year on any platform.

>>723462474
It fills a niche with a lot of demand.

>>723462571
god gachafags are brainbroken lmao
>>723462637
no it doesn't, genshin still dwarfs it in terms of popularity and perfectly fills that niche
the only niche wuwa is filling is people that like bad games like genshin for SOME reason but don't want to play genshin, it's a very small niche and the numbers reflect that.

>>723462486
You are totally not seething at it dude

>>723462797
wuva easily cooking platinum games animation, bloodbornish combat, botw exploration and fucking death stranding of all things into a single product, mw you can't even name a better modern game. I don't think it's peak of peaks, it's full of flaws, mainly the story. But it's better than Elden Ring that's for sure.

>>723462483
You fucking wish, marketer. There is a reason we only see shin talking with himself over and over. It doesn't help jannies nuke actual active gacha threads while leaving your marketing thread up

>>723462483
Even pgrfags say wuwa sucks. Wuwa is just an even more bland solo leveling product, and I guess even shills know since they ALWAYS do this in EVERY patch
>Ok I didn't trust this much before but last story was actually kino
>Repeat same tactic every patch

>>723463036
It's more of the opposite. WuWa threads getting nuked while leaving the Hoyo ones as of recent because of the new jannies. I can't prove it though.

>>723463109
Not really shin, a lot of other gacha threads get nuked, even genshin ones most of the time while yours are never pruned (only once when people starting posting mihoyo pics and I guess you didn't want to advertise the competition)
Meanwhile BAfags and horsefags need to hide now

Abysmal dogshit

>>723463109
I don't know why are you pulling the victim card again when your threads are always allowed while Uma Musume threads get deleted in seconds unless we hide the name.

?

>>723463090
no we dont?

>>723463325
Finally mods do something with your samefagging

>>723463360
>Latching onto pgr
I bet you will karch onto Ananta and Arknights enfield to advertise wuwa, shin

>>723463409
I'm looking forward to playing Ananta, DNA, AP, Stella Sora, and AK actually.

>>723463442
We know marketer, but kissing their asses won't make them advertise wuwa for you

>>723463409
the only one who mentioned PGR here is you and you dont even play PGR.

>>723463552
>he already knows the answer
>still bets
I know you want my attention, but sheesh...

>>723462797
Genshin doesn't fill that niche enough at all, I've played it for five fucking years because I was desperate but Wuwa just dwarfs it quality wise. The numbers are smaller because Wuwa needs a good PC to be ran perfectly, Genshin looks like putrid shit and is censored to death, it's more popular because it came first and can run on anything

>>723463720
Wuthering is just genshin but even worse

>>723463291
they're both deleted but uma is extra cancer because it's full of furshit redditors that can't use their chinese vpn to bypass posting on /vg/ for some reason

>>723463849
genshin isn't even a videogame compared to wuwa

>someone said the story is good
>3 shitposting templates ive seen for years as replies
>even the [game from the same company]fag template
if it causes this much seethe just to say its good then it really must be good kek

>>723461164
It's unconfirmed and people just pointing a Feebs rerun is because of Zani coming out after Rupa.

Horn elves are the innovation fantasy most needed

>>723453445 (OP)
need round rover titties in my hands RIGHT NOW

>>723468143
Have an ephor instead
