Thread 1730346

Why is no one talking about this game? It just came out, it's a spiritual successor to Punishing Gray Raven made by the same devs with a sci-fi Babylonian/Mesopotamian setting. Oh, and you can use this code to get 30 pulls:

there's already a thread here and they're trying to get a general going on /vg/
besides that, no marketing, botched launch

>>1730479
oh, and nanna doesn't look like that anymore, she's been censored

>>1730346 (OP)
can i play it on linux, is it on steam

>>1730480
This and hearing shit about emulation are why I dropped the game. Just figured I'm not the target audience, no big deal

>>1730346 (OP)
I heard the players were rioting to due CN getting better compensation than Global and I saw the rating tank as low as like 2.9 on google play store when the last time I looked at it it was like a 4.0.

>>1741403
Hmmm

>>1730346 (OP)
How horny is it compared to ZZZ?

>>1749866
>censored at release
KWAB.
Anyway, is a very, very tame game, even more than PGR. You will never see some slightly sexy designs because the game takes itself le seriously.

>main character has amnesia
>enemies called something like reapers, reavers or revenants etc.
>exact same combat system as every other action gacha
how do you guys keep falling for this scam

/vg/ thread is kill
it's over

once again I blame charles

>>1761402
I just noticed, I went to shitpost about the new timeloop mobious mode.
why did bbg die i wonder.

>>1761402
man, I feel like I might have to play the story since it could eos at any point now. how did they fumble this hard, this looked great on release

>>1763563
greed

>>1763563
awful global launch
fujo community thanks to meta males
boring chinese lady with glasses

>>1763563
For me it was the lack of a pc client and forcing GPG and banning all emulators at launch and even when they said they would unban some of them were still restricted.

Trailer for Yuli is out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNCLlNbnJa8

>>1765122
Is she blind?

>>1765129

I don't think she's blind that's just her usual anime eyes

148cm perfect height for headpats

her skills look very nice.

Yuli already wants to hold hands

I knew its global launch was botched pretty hard but damn this is grim...

>>1768595
yea it's pretty sad
the dogshit launch alongside not having a native pc client really killed the hype
i do enjoy the story so i'll probably keep up with it until global servers close

>>1768595
I was going to post about the puppet loli but I cannot even play her becasue I'm still building her.
>>1768716
I think the problem is the dev team is clearly no experience with making PC clients, and even if the emulator was poised as an option (for cn only initially) the design of the events seems pretty mobile focused, atleast the musical one did, the others are more generic.

ultimately Black Beacon has shown me a great story isn't good enough to carry a game.

>>1768916
Oh and that and english dub despite being shilled so hard by people over the years wont' save you in the west.
better to spend the money on a pc client.

>>1768716
To this day I still don't understand why companies think its worth gambling with launches. This isn't 2015 anymore, there's literal dozens of games people can fuck off to if they're seeing red flags.

Retaining players to build up sunk cost fallacy and getting marketing via word of mouth you would think to be the top priority.

I feel like she's better than Florence to be honest
Both will never leave my teams nonetheless

>>1768595
the guy paused any interest i had in the game and it killed the little momentum the game had. I had 50 in-game friends sending me the max of 15 gifts per day, guy launched, 1 week later i started receiving 5 gifts, now im at 6 with yuli, they all left

Thanks I guess

>>1772956
Ji Xia can be fielded on any team and still be useful so that's probably why
I don't really like his gameplay so I don't see him as EX
>>1773558
Are they going to be playable or just NPCs for the upcoming region?

>>1773558
Landmine girl? would roll.

>>1773596
why would they tease npcs?

I'm too dumb for puzzles.

>>1774621
Yep 2 patches tops until EoS, sadly

>>1774621
It's fine

>>1774621
trust Charles' plan

>>1774621
Damn even China doesn't care anymore after Ji Xia
It might be over bros

>>1774621
we are doomed, enjoy the game while you can

i'm actually trash at black beacons end game.

>>1774621
fucking yike, what went wrong? I really like the story of the game.
cant say i like the events or the end game though. also building characters takes too long.

I'm still doing my dailies regularly, but the game is so stale it's unreal. And leveling is a fucking chore, the game will eos before I could get decent marks for Yuli. Why didnt I prefarm for her? Because I was still building glasses bitch. Also 1.1 homowank story was very weak and boring. A huge hecking nosedive, deserved death.

>>1775155
The massive launch controversy completely tanked their PR. Lots of people quit on the spot, and lots more were probably very hesitant to spend.

>>1775156
I still need to start his story

>>1775207
I thought no PC client was shitty and the emulation ban was retarded. But I guess what really fucked them was CN not having the emulation restriction and CN later getting more rewards.
Despite the publishers for region being different they were put into a point they had to watch CN like a hawk.
Cannot say I don't feel some sympathy for them, how was charles to know.

This game would never succeed, there isn't a single succesful mixed gender/pandering gacha(that isn't mihomos) the past few years. Even WuWa had to ditch men to survive.

So much concern trolling. Just play the game and enjoy the time you have with it or piss off. Revenue chart posting means fuck all. Any game can EoS at any moment. I doubt anyone here is spending, regardless.

I won't pretend it's my favorite game or anything but it's also not dogshit either. It's got potential and I would like to see how it develops over time—whether it be EoS or not. I personally hope it continues to try and smooth things out because I have some pretty absurd luck which is why I decided to give it a shot. Ended up getting the pink slut from today's daily pull and ended up getting an achievement + a special name plate, too.

>>1775966
>. It's got potential
Mediocre mixed gender quality gacha with homowank, no fanservice, romance,amazing story or an established IP, the game has all the hallmarks of failure.Unless it ditches men it will EoS within the year.

>>1775966
Its not unreasonable to have concerns and its not "trolling" to have them.
I like to think I'm investing the time and stuff into dailies to level up these characters so eventually there might be a cool end game to use them in. It'd suck if it shuts down before that time ever comes.

>>1775966
I wish I was concern trolling you anon. I like the game but see problems with it and worry about it's future as far as the west in concerned.
We got a survey today so maybe I'll put it in feedback.
any of you guys thought what you'll put into it?

I finally beatened this mode, now they can EoS.

>>1777337
w-wait for me anon I'm stuck halfway there

>>1777156
I was going to ask the thread about it
I still didn't answer mine

>>1777337
>beatened
Come on now

It's not over yet, Snake!

>>1777549
anon beatened and wonned the deep zone challenge
you losted

Huge

>>1777337
How are you guys doing this I struggle.

another limited destruction

>>1779276
Unironically skill issue
My characters are probably stronger than anons but I still can't clear it

>>1780482
fuck
>>1780337
looks cute but fucking hell this in the 4th

>>1780337
She looks cute but I fear chinkslop killed a lot of interest people may have had for this game. Genuinely the Chinese chapters of this game are so mid.

>>1779276
Skill issue aside, the biggest thing for me was being gated by power level. You can clear the bare minimum if you invest heavily in your DPS which includes making sure you have maxed out ancient marks (which doesn't have to be optimal), weapons, etc. You can also carefully prioritize skills in your supports and/or breakers but I personally just invest into everything if possible.

>>1781810
>first limited characters are generic chinkslop instead of the babylonian theme of its release
Wtf were they thinking?

>>1781916
Zero is my favorite character and part of this game. So many other characters are personality vacuums. The moment Enki showed up I started skipped cutscenes. Then we get to chinawank and it's the most booooring shit ever. Qing is a sexy librarian-type but her personality is boring and then Xin shows up and talks like a hillbilly.

Zero deserves a better game. Best character bar-none.

Why does this new limited hag has her huge tits almost spilling out of her robes but Nanna got censored her tame cleavage?

>>1781963
Good luck with your game, then

>>1782560
Because the green homo almost killed the game.

>>1781921
thanks anon

>>1782560
Delicious chocolate stuck in Kusoge

who should I selector bros? I have them all thinking about it, black beacon has been too generous with standard pulls.

>>1783950
It feels like only Viola and maybe Nanna or somewhat useful, especially if didn't roll for EoS homo.
Ereshan and Lichi are already powercrept to hell thanks to lmao 4 limited destruction banners, and Logos is such a fucking joke, what the heck is her problem.

>finally got around to
>story stage that has you hit instruments in some order, that is allegedly indicated on the wall
what the FUCK was I supposed to do here? All the instruments looked the same and the wall markings were not helpful at all
Thankfully it was easy and I could just whack random shit until it worked but jfc what an unclear puzzle
but wtf was I supposed to do to actually solve it?

>>1783983
I still use Logos simply for her healing. I also luckshitted her weapon. I can't say she does much damage but it's either her or the umbrella slut.

>>1773560
Misguidedly scrapped because they thought that was what's holding the game back.

>>1785105
I have Logos with her weapon, 2 dupes and even alright ancient marks, and her heals are so shit they are not even noticeable.
And on the other hand, lv60 Umbrella without any marks heals so fucking much with almost permanent uptime I can ungabunga floors 5 and 6 without paying much attention to recieved damage.
I wish I had leveled up Ninsar instead of Logos.

I still feel like LiChi does way more damage than Yuli especially during boss battles

I'm looking forward to 1.2 and the new qt at least
1.1 was a bit of a snoozer

>>1784630
I'm a brainlet and i didn't find it that bad. in fact I found the use of camera angles to tell me when you get to the long hall way annoying. some are bells are some are chimes? I kinda agree though they probably needed to shade them differently.

Slowly been working my way through the chink wank and I am no longer surprised at the current state of this game.

>Game starts out strong with interesting premise and setting
>Conclude the babel arc and get teleported to Chinkland where people talk about husbandry and paperwork

What the fuck were they thinking?

>>1786032
yeah I dropped the story a few maps after I got into china. I loved the first part of the story in babel, and I'm thinking that to eventually get there I'll need to force myself to play all the chinawank. WHAT WERE THE THINKING INDEED

>>1785440
I agree. Although I haven't really built Yuli, her kit seems to focus more on safer, long-distance engagement and AOE damage. On the other hand, Li Chi sticks onto single targets and simply shreds them to pieces. However, his ultimate covers a very respectable frontal area damage cone in and of itself.

>>1786280
I really really like how she plays
Wish she was our second banner instead of the generic chinaslop

>>1786075
New Heavenly Mandate

No more Chinkslop allowed in Gachas. It was genuinely cool and exciting when I visited Liyue in Genshin because the ost was kino and it was the first game I played that explored such a region. In hindsight: it was carried by the novelty of its newness and the ost. It was boring as fuck with lots glazing over how great China is, people talking about nothing of importance (common for gachas), and Zhongli being an autistic jew. There was no Wuxia kino. It's boring, mundane bullshit and every Chinese gacha thinks it's a good idea to implement.

Unless you have a fucking writer/director who doesn't just go on about nothing and talk about rice fields don't do it. Please.

>another 5-star from the daily pull
My gacha luck has been unreal lately. Not just this game, either.

>>1786445
I always enjoy those times while they last
It takes the sting out of the times when the gacha is bending you over

Ariadne looks like a support.

>version 1.2
>still no proper pc client
Why are they like this? Do they not realize the insane amount of people they are losing?

>>1786563
>two waifu banners in 1.2
They are learning

>>1786494
EoS Beacon has been guilt tripping me into sticking around because of my pull luck.

>>1786602
>now have to roll for the weapon and no dupes.
f2p bros...

Am I going to miss anything if I don't complete the event? I don't mean resources, but like one time rewards, avatars, frames, illustrations, etc? I just finished Ch. 3 and there's no way I'm going to be able to go through it all before the event ends.

>>1786966
Unless you get something for completing the achievement I couldn't be fucked to get with the shitty music mini-game, then nah.

We're so bback!

I was playing through and reading/enjoying the story all the way up until I think it was the end of 1.0? It was the part we were going through china and fucking around with the sprinklers to stop the jade disease thing.
Then chapter 6 and 7 I kind of just blasted through while skipping because I really wanted the puppet girl's sig before the vulcan event went away.

Was the ch6 and 7 good and worth going back to read and enjoy? I honestly didn't give a fuck about the 1.1 villain dude he seemed like an asshole. And puppet girl didn't show up at all, but azi and xin and ming a cute and I saw them a lot during it. And Li Chi is okay
It sounds like the new 1.2 stuff will be a fresh slate in a new era/location.

Yeah I kinda faded the back half of 1.0 and the entirety of 1.1. There might be some worthwhile moments but overall it did not interest me. Gacha writing tends to be shit and hearing someone talk like a country bumpkin while trying to do repairs didn't give me much confidence. Going to go into 1.2 with a clean slate.

Yuli has more story presence in 7 EX iirc

Finally some good food.

Dunno how I feel about her in combat just get. Rolled her weapon as well. Intend to get the blonde slut as well this patch and will get her weapon for the free from Vulcan's Grace.

I still don't even had the chance to fully build Yuli because I was busy building supports last patch.

>>1787191
Yea I really didn't enjoy the music or puzzle sliding minigames so I never finished them either.

I feel like i rolled for doll girl over a month ago and still don't have a finished team for her.

Damn, Xin is WEAK

>>1787593
best girl. but she got powercrept twice. I wish she was a breaker instead.

>>1787593
Her EN voice a shit.

>last stage of this summer event has a 9500 power recommendation
>my best team with level 90 and 90 sig weapon limited character is only 6900 power
Wat do?
Other than leveling skills more (they are all at like 6 with the important ones a bit higher) idk where to get more power
Except maybe the ancient marks which I haven't really fucked with at all

>>1788085
Skills and Ancient Marks give tons of points
My Yuli is over 10k due to having almost maxed out skills and full lvl3 marks

Holy hecking fuck, Ereshan in Deep Zone I is filtering me, can't even deal half of the damage required for 3 stars with Qing. But at Zone II, the puppet girl is absolutely wrecking the clock.

How is the new upate?

Deado geimu

>>1789739
I don't get it, what do other gacha have BB doesn't?

>what do other gacha have BB doesn't?
(You) pandering

>>1792039
Well, for starters, full JP dub

>>1792039
A pc client

So is no one going to point out just how huge and out in the open her tits are?
>>1792141
This
Give me a pc client or give me death

>>1792309
I mean seriously
Also how does she play? Her tutorial was kinda janky

How's the game now, bros? I tried it at launch and liked the setting, but dropped it because there was no PC client.
Also is the new blue-haired girl really yuribait or is that just shitposting?

>>1793552
Still no pc client just the shitty googleplay thing
Regarding her story I don't know since I still need to finish chinapatch

Finished the Phaenomena sub-story, it was fine, but it's just a filler about nothing.
>>1793552
No, but if you have really thick pink gay glasses, maybe. Red is more of a faux sister/mother to blue.

am i really meant to grind 40 tokens at a time for 80 stam?

>>1785237
Now that I've gotten a chance to use Asti a bit more, yeah, Logos is a brick. Shit modifiers and shit healing. What were they thinking with her?

lol I liked this

>>1802904
Ariadne felt kinda slow in her trial
I'll have to test if she's a good member to bring on the weekly challenges considering the timer
She's definitely cool tho

Ni Hao

>>1787597
That bikini ahs way too many shitty extra details to draw

>current version extension of 1.5 months out of nowhere
Yep, it's EOS time!

eosGODs won...

What went so wrong?

There are parts of Black Beacon that are very nice. But there are others that are either ineffectual (copy-paste bullshit from other gachas) or downright abysmal that drag down the entire experience. Lack of a PC client and CN trying to kek global spiraling into a bad reputation are the main culprits. Not translating shit and not including JP voice acting for any of the newer characters only caused unrest.

If they tried to be more of their own thing instead of copying others I think the game would have found more success. The stage design and the template for content is stale. It should have been a Diablo gacha.

>>1730346 (OP)
Devs killed it
Shame
