Anyone else get a CBT invite? Mine was in the spam folder so check there as well. I hope dragully chinkoid edition will surpass their predecessor...

I didn't. It didn't occur to me to check the English twitter and apply through it. I probably bricked my chances by applying for the Japanese version.

I can't really think of it as a Dragalia replacement when it doesn't have multiplayer

Bump

I'll try it for a month

Bump

>>1748189
ah damn I thought it had multiplayer. whatever, i'll give it a shot anyways since some of the characters are cute.

>>1748119 (OP)
I did, literally the first gacha closed beta I've ever been invited to despite signing up for dozens. I hope it's good.

Downloading now. Very curious about it. First CBT for me as well.

Pre-download emails have been sent out
Servers open in roughly 46.5 hours from this post

I'm very tilted over not getting in

I got in on the JP one
The download has _JP in the name (installer exe as well as install folder), will it have a language option in game?

>>1751781
My download was _EN. I don't see any options for changing language in the client so far. I'll check ingame later.

>rolling animation is picking up young girls in a van
what did they mean by this

>Game is literally just dragalia but modern
Dragalia...Found

I won BIGLY

>>1752517
I don't see a 5* Wyrmprint in that roll tho

>>1752502
not having to deal with the dumbass touch controls is definitely a big plus

Hopefully some schizo compiles all of the Loading screen comics somewhere

holy fuark

the names in the JP dub being different from the EN text is kinda annoying

>Expected blue archive but yostar
>Got dragalia but yostar
I didn't manage to get in but guess I'll give it a try since I liked dragalia too.

love me some dfc

Just wait for this chad to get added

>>1752549

>>1752557
yup

Combat's fun but the visual clarity is already a bit of a problem in some fights. Haven't played around with the options yet but I hope you can hide the damage numbers or tone down some effects. Cannot see anything while playing Noya!

Nice try you dirty knife ear

Any pinks in this game? Can't trust pinks, can't trust them anywhere

game looks neat but has huge 4 month eos potential

>>1752603
It's Yostar own game, chance that they will spend most of the game budget on marketing to keep it afloat.

>>1752612
doesnt really inspire confidence

does this game have male characters you can roll for?

opinions on the rates? hearing from some friends it's hoyo levels of jew

>>1752634
It's not as terrible as Hoyo in that you have a 1.6% chance of getting a 5* and it's a 60-40 odds split as opposed to 0.6% and 50-50. It's still very low if you are used to gacha rates before everyone started copying.

That said, I complained about the gacha in the survey, used the 10 tickets they give you for doing the survey on Freesia's banner and got her.

>>1752636
>Burning your good rng on CBT instead of on live
gg

>>1752634
hoyo isn't jewish, at least when it comes to rolling for characters
rates themselves barely matter, what really matters is what kind of pity is in place, whether or not it carries over between banners, whether or not characters are designed to require dupes to be good, etc

>>1752660
>barely enough currency to guarantee a premium character each patch (if you don't spend)
>premium characters running back to back are good pairs for each other to no surprise
>god forbid the premium character needs their premium weapon
>characters cost about $300 if unlucky
wat

>>1752667
>>barely enough currency to guarantee a premium character each patch (if you don't spend)
you get enough for around 1 new character every patch with the $5/month pass (if you're not willing to spend this much, why even play)
and the game releases at most 1-2 new characters per patch so that's plenty
>>premium characters running back to back are good pairs for each other to no surprise
this is more of a recent phenomenon but still not a big deal due to the low amount of new characters being released as mentioned above
>god forbid the premium character needs their premium weapon
characters straight up requiring their weapon to be good is very rare, they are almost always perfectly usable with poorfag weapons
>characters cost about $300 if unlucky
if you buy at least the $5 monthly you should pretty much never be running out of roll currency unless you impulse roll on every single character as soon as you hit 160 primos. stop rolling on everything that you see getting shilled on reddit and roll for characters you actually like.

most games that get praised for being "generous" because they give a ton of rolls to f2ps usually suffer from things like pity not carrying over so if you roll and don't get the character you just flushed rolls down the drain, characters requiring 3+ dupes to be functional at a basic level, multiple new characters releasing every month so you end up owning a lower % of total characters than a "less generous" game, etc

of course this is all from a genshin player's perspective, don't play HSR but I wouldn't be surprised if it feels way greedier in practice due to being turnbasedslop

>>1752549
They just couldn't help themselves huh

post da apk
>>1752549
>>1752550
soon

Gameplay is pretty fun, pretty much dragalia lite with roguelite elements. Dunno how to think about the loop of using your tower runs to clear content instead of just using the characters as is but it's been fun enough so far so I don't mind. Main story has been interesting so far from what I've played, dunno how in depth the protagonist personality thing will end up being or mastering. I think the music is really lackluster and the game could de a better job at explaining some mechanic stuff.

Is this ml game?

I absolutely love the disc system, might be the first game I will roll for the weapon type shit not that I'm going to play this more than 2 weeks tops

This might be a strange thing to say, but doesn't it actually look pretty good? I literally hadn't heard about it until now.

>>1752780
Yeah, nice, sold.

Game so far looks great, the gameplay is better than any open world slop too, but Yostar messed up with the MC, it should have been like BA, the game will attract the undesirable crowd 100%

>>1752836
Is the MC playable? I like the femc design though so I'm not too bothered.

>>1752847
No, but that won't stop the undesirable crowd

How long do you expect until release? CBT ends next weekend right

>>1752859
They probably want to avoid launching at the same time with Uma Musume which launches on the 26th of June, so it might be July or very early next month.

>>1752859
Im thinking Q4 2025

this is a beta alright

>>1752866
it would suck if this represented the final game quality

the game feels like Blue Archive if they actually put into effort into the game instead of just being carried by the character designs

I wish we could listen to the CDs we dont have yet. curious what the 5* ones sound like

holy fuck the UI is so fast and snappy, this is such a nice change of pace after playing some other gachas where you have a 5s loading screen everytime you click on something

How will the beginner banner work? Can I actually pick what I want or will you need to reroll

>story stops being voiced after the tutorial
this fucking shit again, can yostar really not afford VAs?

>>1752896
It's the first cbt man...

>>1752634
>>1752636
haven't had the chance to play yet but reddit is saying pity is at 160 and there's no guarantee if you lose 60/40, which, if true, makes it much worse than hoyo games and completely proves my point that the rates themselves don't matter

>>1752897
The cutscenes really don't feel like they were meant to be voiced. But we'll see I guess, not holding my breath though.

>>1752902
It's definitely Jewish but I think you're underestimating the huge difference between 1.6% and 0.6%. At 1.6% it's like 40 rolls to have a 50/50 chance of at least 1 5*. Sure you can get megafucked without hard pity but most people will be better off.

>>1752908
it's all gonna depends on how much currency we get like with every gacha, but the fact that there is a weapon banner is pretty jewish no matter what

>>1752908
>Sure you can get megafucked without hard pity
this matters above all else in practice. a gacha where you can theoretically roll an infinite amount of times without getting the character you want should be illegal in current year.

>>1752914
Yeah it's not great, hopefully there's some extra currency to not make it impossible. I just think people are so used to relying on pity because of Hoyo systems that they don't care about raw rate at all when it makes rolling generally much better. I'm not good at math, but going all the way to 160 pity (assuming it's not got any soft pity) and then losing the 60/40 is only a 3% chance. Meanwhile it's a 30% chance to get to 80 rolls and lose the 50/50 in Hoyo.

>can change between male/female character
>can't change your name
????

This game is so much fun, can't wait for full release

These 4 star discs are so fucking broken for each attribute

>>1753059
Good since the weapon banner is trash and isn't guaranteed.

>that mole

>>1753078
The disc banner is guaranteed at 120 pulls.
There is also this shop. You get currency by pulling on the character banner for that disc ticket on the right, but so far the game itself feels kinda stingy. Didn't get to endgame yet though

What do you get when you roll? Is it another game where you get a million useless weapons?

>>1753117
You can only have 1 of each weapon (disc in this game) but you can upgrade it via dupes.
Once you get max dupes you get a shop currency instead

>>1753119
So 90% of the rolls are worthless then you don't get minor characters or anything

>>1753138
yeah pretty much

>>1752934
the 160 hard pity is for the rate-up
at 160 you're guaranteed to get the rate-up, its not a guarantee to get a 5* unit
which is basically the same as hoyo since its about 80 + 80

>>1753240
On the other hand if you get an early SSR then you get to immediately subtract 80 rolls from the guarantee in hoyoslop
I think 80+80 is better than 160 in this case

multiplayer doko???
>>1752527
>>1753082
holy sexo
at least they're not dancing around sex appeal

Does it have sweep, auto and x2 or X4 speed?

>>1753255
Yes
Yes (but not the dragalia auto it just presses all of the skills on cooldown)
Yes (in dialog only lol), gameplay is constantly 1x

>>1753257
Thank you. Good to know it has decent QoL features
Also, can you skip the story?

>>1753260
Yes
You can also skip the ascension mode but idk how that works just yet

The roll system needs an improvement, the new characters should be added to the standard pool after their banner, npcs need more dialogues when you encounter them while doing quests, other than that the game rocks

>>1753261
it basically skips all battles and walking
you're just taking the elevator up and select the cards you want, npc options, shops, etc.

>>1753268
I love wagie friendly gachas

>>1753082
>initial character designs were kind of whatever in terms of sexo appeal
>suddenly boobs and exposed hips
Are they pivoting or something? Also when is this actually realeasing, Q3 or Q4?

>>1753268
That's neat, I guess you can target for a certain build if you absolutely have to (don't know how necessary this will be just yet)

Played it for like 3 hours today. It really annoys me that it goes back a menu/screen after viewing a Disc Description. Also why can I only save a Squad AFTER completing a mission? Unless I missed it somewhere, that is extremely odd.

The game is nice though, I might play when it launches.

>>1753324
>Also why can I only save a Squad AFTER completing a mission?
because you have to pick all the skill cards, the save file includes those

What are the chances of this actually being successful? It's one of the few gachas I've actually been excited about and I barely see it talked about.

>>1753447
>fully funded by Yostar so probably gonne have tons of advertising
>very polished game overall
>clearly going for the blue archive style and audience
I would be surprised if the game isn't at least moderately successful. People aren't talking about it because there wasn't much to talk about before the beta, and even then it's a closed beta.

>>1753447
What do you mean succesful? Top 1 every banner? Probably not. But everything is incredible smooth.

>>1753491
Sure I don't want the attention that comes with being too successful but if it's making money then you get more support than just dodging eos.

>>1748189
Huge L
Dragalia was kino, such a missed opportunity to replace it

Did some testing on weakness (fire, wind, etc.)
Neutral was 148 on hit, 236 on crit
Weakness was 251 on hit, 401 on crit
Resist was 26 on hit, 41 on crit

Hope they adjust the numbers a bit, if you bring the correct type you do 70% more damage so you absolutely need to counter-pick the enemy for everything

>>1753512
considering how shit the game did, its probably for the best that they arent copying everything

>>1753630
Co-op raids would be nice in this I think though. But I guess multiplayer on different platforms is expensive to implement and probably wouldn't affect revenue.

>>1753608
Hate this shit, it doesn't need to be this sharp of a drop off.

>>1753630
co-op is the one thing they should have copied

None of the designs so far catch my eye.
I thought it'd be a blue archive competitor when I saw the art style and that it was by Yostar but I don't know, I haven't seen any character so far that catches my eye and it really seems like they're a lot closer to Shironeko/Dragalia than any other game. Having also played both Shironeko and Dragalia for years, I can't think of the gameplay as anything special either.

The main character design feels like a huge fucking waste too. This should have been a playable character instead of wasting such an amazing design on the blank self-insert MC which sucks a lot. Overall, I'd say it's rather disappointing.

>>1753633
ig so. manual coop for shit like hbh was not fun though so Im okay with it not being in this game

>>1753646
The current roster does feel a bit generic and forgettable overall. Certainly not as striking as Blue Archive's base roster. Hard agree on the femMC she looks fantastic.

I don't know about you guys but I find the story very charming. Blue Archive honestly did not catch me at all in terms of the story, I couldn't care less about what was happening. I am invested in Stella Sora's story. I think the characters are a lot more interesting and cuter than Blue Archive's.

>>1753646
Feels more like Princess Connect characters desu

>>1753646
MC isn't blank thoughbeit. They have their own personality and it's more like you're reading a VN or jrpg with an actual protagonist than a generic insert like Nikke's commander

Finished the story in CBT. Comparing it to blue archive, I'd say BA's initial chapters were a lot more slice of life (with the zaniness on the side of course like the bank robbery) while this started touching on world building and serious tones as soon as chapter 2. But it is very funny that it had the same setup with the initial girls you meet are dealing with a bankruptcy issue from loans (in SS's case, forged loans from a corrupt corporation) that forces the plot to move forward.

>>1753741
Don't forget the story starting with a flashback of some mysterious faceless girl.
The presentation is also basically identical, which is a bit of a disappointment to me because I was hoping we'd get some L2Ds or voices in the main story at least.

It's the only gacha I ever tried for beta test and I didn't get in. But I am very upset about the other males that I saw posted in this thread. Fujo pandering or cuck pandering. Either way, I hate it.

Will the game have guilds and pvp?

>>1753788
>Fujo pandering or cuck pandering
the only males in this game are the male MC and some basic faceless NPCs, if the first thing that comes to mind when seeing an NPC is them cucking you then you need help

>>1752902
finally started playing myself and apparently redditors were just being retarded, the 160 pity is not a coinflip and is guaranteed to be the banner character

>>1753864
What's this >>1752549

>>1753875
So this is way better than Hoyo just because of the regular rate.

>going to school to make up for the memory loss from the dungeons
kinda fucked up but whatever

>>1748119 (OP)
GIVE IT TO ME
RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>1752681
I've yet to see a game beat Limbus when it comes to implementing gacha regarding "generosity".
Yeah its still gacha so the word "generous" is a bit of a meme but the dispense system make it far more tolerable.

>>1753082
AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE ITS OVER

I think I prefer BA's setting more because schoolgirls + guns in a non-edgy setting is something that has rarely been done.
How's this compared to other generic fantasy story/setting in other gacha?

I hate you all for getting in but I hope the game is good.

Game is really good
Gameplay is great
Lots of endgame content too
Hope it releases soon, feels very polished to me

I just hope the game doesn't take too long to release.

>>1753876
An NPC that shows up for 2 minutes

GIVE ME CHAPTER 3
I WANT TO REEEEAAAAAAD

>>1754143
Is the bancho jacket baseball bat girl the launch banner?

>>1754333
No she's one of the 4 standard 5* and is given for free in the new players missions. The limited banner character is pic related (at least in the beta)

>>1754334
>>1752813
Oh shit, I guess I have to roll. Normally I don't do launch banners but I'm fucked.

>>1754334
>4 standard 5*
>one given out for free
Does this mean it's more likely that limiteds will be added to the general pool? I don't play yostar games.

>>1754340
Limiteds? No, usually not. But the current banner isn't a limited banner, I think its called selective banner

>>1754340
in blue archive most characters are standard characters
they get added to the standard pool when their banner ends so you can get spooked by them
there are some limited characters that don't get added to the standard pool though

There are 4* weapons in the character banner?

fatty

>>1754350
Why are they hiding character designs like this and only having bland stuff on the website? There's a hag in one of the trailers that would be popular too.

>>1754351
dunno, she probably wont be playable on release though.

>>1754353
Didn't stop ZZZ correctly shilling their game with Miyabi. Biggest complaint I've seen so far is bland designs.

flatty

>>1754340
>>1754342
>>1754345

flatty and fatty

>>1754357
So some will be, that's good.

>>1754355
They have the bunny girls, chubby samurai and mesugaki but they have pic related style stuff advertising the game. What's going on?

>>1754359
>So some will be, that's good.
I don't know if I'd take it that way, personally it just reminds me of hoyo style games were 99% of characters are limited

>>1754360
Between the "will not immediately" and actually mentioning characters being added to the pool at all just makes it seem more likely. The main thing I haven't seen confirmed is pity roll over.

>>1754357
>immediately
Yeah, not a true limited. They will probably call it something else but some characters will be limited (true)

>>1754359
don't diss my trash mob killing goat not-yuuka

>>1754362
Its in that same dialog

>>1754362
>>1754363
Half empty glass full vs half full glass I guess. To me it reads like the character is limited and they're just using purposefully vague language in case they ever want to add old characters to standard banner, but we'll see I suppose.

nice beta

>>1754371
Just play in jp

>>1754371
Flags are hard

So how exactly does the pity/rates work? I get the hard pity is 160 and you're guaranteed the banner character, but considering I'm at 100 rolls already and still no 5* I'm guessing there's no 80/80 split. So theoretically I could get 2 5*s before 160 and potentially lose both coin flips, but the pity counter doesn't reset right? Well I guess losing two 60/40s in a row would be extremely unlucky but still, it feels like going on a dry streak for that long and not hitting contastly it would feel extremely shitty. Also there isn't any ramping rate increase or soft pity that we know of right?

>>1754388
I am at close to 100 pulls as well, got 2 5* both were off banner.
Game looks fun and I will try it but if I get fucked like this in the live version I am just going to uninstall

>>1754388
There are no guarantees outside of the 160 pulls one. You could pull no 5* before hitting 160, or you could lose 5 coinflips in a row. Hard to say if there's a soft pity.

I know they make it obscure on purpose and gacha is satanic anyway but with the guarantee at 160 I can't imagine it being worse than the hoyo system.

Speaking of the 160 pity, it resets if you get the banner character early, right?

>Basically took the gacha system from Aether Gazer, down to the 1,6% rate, but made it worse by increasing the pity from 90 to 160.
Yike.

>>1754396
We don't have enough information to really tell if it's gonna be good or not anyway. It's also gonna depends on how much currency we get, how often characters get released, how important dupes/discs are, and so on. So far it just feels like Hoyo gacha with higher rates but with less guarantees.

>>1754398
I think so, but can't confirm firsthand

>>1754398
>>1754405
the 160 pity counter does reset when you get the rate-up early

>>1754405
>I think so, but can't confirm firsthand
just luckshitted freesia in 8 (eight) total rolls and I can confirm that it does indeed reset when you get her early

thats some unfortunate placement kek

>>1754422
original

>>1754422
Nanoha BJ...

Sorry for the back and forth, I know this is probably something you've all discussed to death for loads of games but I don't often play gachas. I just don't see how this isn't going to be noticeably better than the hoyo one for most people. I'll stop shitting up the thread and talk about things that actually matter, promise.

>>1754449
This comparison only makes sense if Hoyo and SS give out the same amount of pulls, which we don't know yet. SS could also release characters more or less often than Hoyo. If those are the same then yeah SS should be better for most people, but it will also be worse for the 5-10% unluckiest players who may go to hard pity without a single 5*.

awoooga

>>1754453
Nonsensical decision to have these kinds of characters and to not display them anywhere.

>>1754460
small indie company please understand

>>1754423
I love my ninja maid so much I will be genuinely upset if I don't get her in the full release
>Free Ann with her bullshit wind wall buffs
>Big tits teacher with her orbiting ring
>Proccing all the aoe buffs and atk spd buffs and deleting everything

So disks are weapons, what's the equipment equivalent?

>>1754506
At least rerolling should be fairly quick and easy considering there's only 4 standard 5* and you get 1 guaranteed in the beginner banner

>>1754516
Still stupid chink autism to not let people pick their beginner character, it means literally nothing in the long run.

>>1754515
Rather than grinding for gear/artifacts you grind for the best build in Ascension, and you need one for each team

>>1754521
I haven't seen much of the actual gameplay beyond the trailer, so that's to do with the random buffs you get?

>>1754506
I've been running the exact same team, the amount of sigil procs happening is insane

>>1754523
yes, basically you choose a team and disks, and you go through a roguelike dungeon where you collect random upgrades for your skills and try to activate your disks's effects. once you clear it you can record the team's build and use it everywhere else with all the upgrades you got

>>1754506
>Big tits teacher with her orbiting ring
who is that? I got Nanoha but I'm lacking in cow tits

>>1754506
i run ann teacher and noya, works great too

Isn't she forgetting something?

>>1754529
Doesn't sound nearly as bad as equipment farm games, must be a catch.

>>1754537
the catch is you wont have anything to do after 6 months

>>1754540
just in time for pvp and raids :^)

>>1754537
the catch is that every time you want to change anything in a team, like swapping out characters or disks, you have to redo a full ascension run, potentially multiples runs if you're unlucky.

>>1754529
Do you start with nothing each time then and you just have to hope that you get a better overall set by the time you've finished? And what do you mean by team? I know you pick 3 characters but do you have to register them into a limited number of slots or something and each character can only be used on one team?

>>1754543
thats 3 years into release bro

cute butt...

>>1754547
>Do you start with nothing each time then and you just have to hope that you get a better overall set by the time you've finished?
yes, think of it like vampire survivors, however there are some permanent upgrades you unlock which makes future runs faster/easier/less rng
> I know you pick 3 characters but do you have to register them into a limited number of slots or something and each character can only be used on one team?
the only limit is that you can only have 50 recorded built teams at the same time which I doubt we'll ever need, aside from that you can have the same characters/disks in as many different teams as you want

Sent in the first survey now
Things I wrote as suggestions / improvements:

>Setting for skills and ultimates to be separate in auto mode
>Damage difference between weakness and non weakness seems too big
>Please do the official release soon

>>1754557
>Damage difference between weakness and non weakness seems too big
How else are they going to make you keep up with four element teams of power creep?

>>1754557
those are some good suggestions, I'll steal them for the next survey

>>1754557
I put in
>having an aiming mode with your mouse for skills
>add tags on cards to show if its buffing skill/ult

>>1754561
there is the icon of the skill

>>1754562
I'd rather they just tell me outright. not like im gonna memorize all the icons anyways.

>>1754561
>having an aiming mode with your mouse for skills
I want that too but its unlikely they'll implement it since it must work for mobile and controller players too without feeling janky

The axe girl is so clunky. She needs walk further when she auto attacks.

>>1754566
It's literally the twin stick shooter control scheme, it works perfectly fine on controllers and mobile

>>1754572
But you need to click on 6 different skill buttons too
I'll be honest though, I've never played a game like this on mobile so I don't actually know if its doable or not, just seems kinda janky with movement + aiming + 6 buttons on mobile

>>1754574
Should be fine on auto mode, although I don't think they'll let us aim either way

I'm glad they've included a decent variety of modes. doesn't really feel like either mobbers or single target characters are really getting shafted at all.

>>1754578
that's so you have even more reasons to raise more characters and thus burn more resources

>>1754616
>need four aoe and four ST teams
aaaaa

>>1754620
theres 6 elements bro 1 of them isnt even in the beta kek

>>1754622
How am I supposed to know I got cucked out of the cbt... What are the meme elements, just light and dark again?

>>1754625
yup
>>1752527

what even is the point of light/dark when they counter each other?

>>1754653
>>1754616

Destiny cards are so useless

>>1754350
>>1754353

I feel like this is the exact character you would make in hopes of catching JP twitter's attention.
I refuse to believe they won't advertise her before release.

I'm stuck on level 10?
Cap isn't 10 because I have level 12 friends in my friends list...

>>1755105
nvm I had to do some other quests

I dunno if it's just me but melee characters feels hella unsafe to play. The AA range is so small and elites and bosses hit hard especially in wave/mob based modes like calamity so yoy just get chunked from all directions unless you stack stamina stickers, and bullet telegraphy is not that clear and dodging just feels shitty. At least ranged characters can just play bitchmade.

>>1755509
I feel the same way. Tried to use Minvoa but she takes so much chip damage along the way because everything can hit her that I use the 4* Lux character instead, the one with lightning bolts.
I like Noya because she has those ranged form potentials so she is basically a ranged character after you press her skill once.

Are all the girl for (you)?

>>1755509
I get randomly stunlocked in groups of mobs sometimes its so annoying I agree

this pack is such a scam

So raids are basically in the game already, called Apex Showdown.
You fight against another Trekker and have a time limit, but so far you only have one team.
Weekly reward of 50 gemmies and some bigger mode that is not available in beta

>>1755509
>>1755521
I agree, it's even worse for slow melee like Freesia that can't even move while attacking in melee range

>>1755586
Getting stuck in the auto animation and not being able to cast the spin makes playing her feel so clunky

>>1755601
I didn't get into the beta, but this sort of thing is fine as long as it's a universal decision. Being able to safely dodge cancel out of everything is just boring.

>>1755667
its not, you can dodge cancel out at any point, but her skill lets you charge it if you hold it down and it just wont start sometimes.

Close enough, welcome back Koharu and Hanako.

>>1755556
how so?

>>1755752
what happens when a PINK turn into a BLU?

>>1755560
you mean pvp?

>>1755752
I wonder if they're going to do a big character showcase to drum up interest.

>>1755766
No, so far everything is pve

>>1755763
they cost 175 currency but they give you 1 duplicate shard but you need 60 per actual passive. For 3000 currency, you could get a 5* disc or a 4* disc for 900/disc tix for 300

>>1755782
so its more cost efficient to roll instead of buying the packs?

>>1755783
no its just by far the worst value for the currency in the shop.

>>1755786
oh i see
is release after CBT?

>>1755786
Its 3k per week from that game mode so you can get the pulls, discs and then have some left over for dupe shards, but its 4* dupes so they dont matter anyway desu

Is the weapon banner ticket the same as the character banner ticket or is it one item with the same currency cost?

>>1755789
no clue they havent said anything about release
>>1755793
yeah there's no point. might as well get the shit gifts since theres 50 fucking affection levels

>>1755794
they're different

>>1755798
I know it's a minor complaint but can't they bother to make this sort of thing distinct? Just change the logo as well as color or whatever.

>>1755793
I thought disks were weapons, surely they're not giving away a 5* weapon each week? Even standard ones.

>>1755827
Discs are weapons. I think that shop resets once per patch or month

tell me more about the BGM

Muh

>>1755586
I think she's better as a support, the character they gave today for free (water vanguard) is a better on field character

is this game fun?

>>1755843
very forgettable

Dailies took less than 4 minutes.
Weekly bosses + Apex showdown took about 13 minutes.
Very comfy game.

>>1755996
I think its really fun, can't wait for release

>>1756020
ah yes the Blue Archive approach
perfect

When is global releasing?

>>1756115
>he doesn't know

>>1756197
No, that's why I'm asking

So how is the multiplayer?

>>1756374
nonexistent

This is one of the discs you can pick from the ascension shop. I assume it will reset once per patch and seems to focus on damage + shields.
All attributes have the same first part and a similar second part

Damn, I actually love the progression so much in this game. Everything just fits together. Hope the gacha doesn't fuck me too hard

>>1756430
biggest downside.
I hope they add it down the line.
co-op shenanigans is what made dragalia memorable

so is this blue archive 2?

Does support disc stats matter or are they just used for the notes?

>>1756091
main difference is that Blue archive takes twice as long in practice because of delays and loading screen, Stella Sora runs buttery smooth

>>1756541
just the notes I believe

Okay but fore real, global status?

>>1756464
If anything I just hate being locked out of content cause of account level. But I understand its for whale money and to slow people down.

Is it me or dupes seem really fucking strong in this game? Not only do they give hoyo-like upgrades, they also give a bunch of permanent stat boosts on top of it

>>1756464
yeah the vampire survivors like gameplay loop is really fun and works surprisingly well as a gacha game, it's so satisfying seeing your characters turn into absolute monsters as you get more upgrades from Ascension, as opposed to other gachas where progressing just means doing slightly bigger numbers. Also helps that the game is already polished as fuck. At this point my only worries are about the gacha itself and the lack of coop

>>1756464
its great until lvl 15, the uncap missions are brutal and there's no way you'd not get stopped here considering how much energy you need to spend for the level ups

>>1756659
nvm I'm retarded
I had a bunch of material boxes in my inventory that I didn't know about

>>1756602
I've seen some cards with abilities that hint that there will be co-op, let's see how it goes in the next beta, this one was already pretty damn good

>>1756719
I BETTER BE LET IN I AM ONE OF YOSTARS BIGGER SUPPORTERS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>1756719
>next beta
hope there is none and next is release
game feels pretty complete already, they can add other game modes later

>>1756559
I still had enough to do every day until level 15 though. And after 15 will be comfy daily simulator

>>1756729
They need time to polish some things like the visual clutter, the story mode is also really short, it needs to release with 7-8 chapters

>>1748119 (OP)
CATS AND DOGS ARE PROTECTORS OF THE SPACE AND TIME CONTINUMCATS AND DOGS ARE PROTECTORS OF THE SPACE AND TIME CONTINUMCATS AND DOGS ARE PROTECTORS OF THE SPACE AND TIME CONTINUM

Cute

>>1756867
They should add hard mode with shard farming

Where do I send feedback regarding localization?
I don't know what audience they are aiming for, but changing names is beyond retarded. I encourage others to inform devs about shit like this and hopefully we will get non-American names for Japanese characters.

>>1757086
What other names were changed?

>>1757111
Ayame -> Iris
Seina -> Noya
Anzu -> Ann
Minerva -> Minova

Just a few that I noticed. Yet all Chinese names are kept as they are. You can even hear all the original names in the JP dub.
It's all so fucking stupid, these localizers are beyond incompetent. I think I'll stick to JP version if they keep this shit in.

>>1757118
Hate this kind of thing because it means you know the rest of the translation will be dogshit as well.

>>1757086
Trash localization strikes again.
It took BA's localization years to finally be completely accurate and now this shit.
Why the fuck would they translate names? I've never seen this dumb shit before.

>>1757118
>Minerva to Minova
They're all stupid changes but this one is particularly stupid.

Okay I just got Freesia from that mail the devs sent and holy fuck she does feel like ass to play. The way she slows down to a crawl every time she gets in attack range of an enemy is absolutely awful. Meanwhile ranged characters not only get to stay at range but can keep moving and strafing just fine

>>1757218
She's not a vanguard unit, she can be used as one, I did and she hits like a truck with the Kot and the water starter unit as support.

>>1757238
I mean sure she does hit hard, but that's not the issue, she just feels like absolute garbage to play, and I think no character should. Especially not a limited 5*.

>>1757243
Her AA build seems to do more damage but the spin to win build is just funner

>>1757189
Nintendo does it. I hate it lol Otherwise, Princess Connect comes to mind.

Well after a week I've had a lot of fun when I actually sit down to play it. But man Ascension and Survivor take forever to do.
>>1756690
Yep, if you try to upgrade and have those in your inventory it'll auto open them too.
>>1757218
Her auto attack build sucks ass for mobbing, just spam her AOE spin instead. Now if only the devs made it so holding down the button will make the attack/charge start as soon as its ready instead of having to guess if you're actually going to charge the attack or not.

I'm surprised this has ""bad ending"" options.

Post the unplayable characters
t. someone that didn’t make the CBT

>>1757362
All of them.
t. also someone that didn't make the CBT

>>1757362
There are no unplayable characters so far, game is really well balanced which is pretty nice

The prereg count is at 3.1M and is hardly going up, either they'll have to turn on bots soon

>>1758293
its a disaster eos confirmed bros oh no.....

>>1758305
I accidentally cut off half my post... I was going to say that it means the real launch will be ages away, not immediately after the cbt.

holy moly

am i the only one that's noticed the fantasy alphabet all over the stages saying weird things?
like a poster of a walkman that just says "sony" or some building that i'm almost certain said "eromotion"
>>1758464
nice

>>1758242
yes YES
SEGGS WITH BUN BUN

chink dragon chick seems kinda underwhelming. Even as a support, her only use is applying marks since her turrets do shit all damage. I think the tiger perk is bugged, it isn't applying any marks despite the tool tip saying it does.

>>1758849
nevermind I take it back chink dragon supermacy

>>1758849
she is my favorite 5* including freesia

>>1758849
She feels great as support to me. But I'm also running auto attack build Kohabers so I'm already autowinning everything anyways.

Will this game have guilds and coop content?

no clue if it's even worth posting these anymore since beta people might have posted everything already

How forgiving is the gacha compared to BA?

>>1757086
>>1757118
The issue isn't EN localization. The names were translated directly based on meaning from the CN ones for both JP and EN. You can argue they should've just transliterated all the names, but this argument seems to crop up just from weebs who are butthurt because JP numbah wan!!!

>translating names

My thoughts after the CBT:
The comparison with Blue Archive is retarded, only the live2ds have the same style. Everything else from gameplay to general art style, to progression to character design has virtually nothing in common with it. (Barely any cunny too)
Visual presentation is pretty top notch, very responsive and kinda has its own identity in terms of UI and general quality. Felt very polished on the whole.
Gacha and rate of progression is atrocious. It's basically a sidegrade of Hoyo gacha. Having limited characters with a coinflip and no guarantee, combined with a constellation system so dupes matter for them, combined with the disc system where you need three of them for each team and those dupes benefit from dupes as well. Raising characters was easier during the CBT but the stamina costs for farming materials are insanely high for the rates and requirements.
Gameplay is fun but I think there's a lot of honeymoon period here and we haven't really seen any endgame yet. In the long run you'll spend most of your time just repeatedly running the roguelite so you can minmax your build because RNG can screw you over.
UI-wise there's a lot of missing info or QoL but that's one part they can work on and improve later.
Teresa a cute.

>>1759867
This doesn't explain butchering Minerva though does it, or names with no meaning like Noya or leaving others completely untouched like Nanoha. It's not about going weeb, I'd rather have original Chinese or Korean names than new western ones.

>>1759897
Noya means sand in some obscure dialect or something. Amber and Iris are more directly translated. Funnily enough in the files, Noya's name is "Sandy". They should've just transliterated all the Chinese names for both JP and EN but I doubt they'll change it now.

>>1759870
>no guarantee
I thought this was deboonked >>1754405

>>1759908
When I say no guarantee I meant after losing a 60/40. You could potentially pull ten 5* up to the 160 pity and get off-rates every time. The 160 hard pity IS guaranteed.

>>1759910
I see what you're saying, but it's going to be fine most of the time. Being a bit better on average than Hoyo is about as good as you can hope for anymore in a "major" release.

>>1759915
I'm just hoping they balance the endgame to actually be doable without having to pull dozens of discs and characters just to clear content.

>>1759771
getting Kirino vibes from this one

>>1759947
She's got the unfaltering hero of justice archetype you see in a lot of these games, but they play it straight so she's actually kinda competent at what she does, just overzealous.

>>1759870
>we haven't really seen any endgame yet
can't imagine they have anything other than that boss mode where you need 2 different teams in mind for the foreseeable future

Any of the disc songs catch your ear? For me it's
>Rolling Life
>Daylight Garden
>Witch's Swing
>Love River's Curse
>Meow Rhythm

>>1759952
I hope it's not just an ST boss rush, would be nice to have some kind of crazy wave survival mode.

>>1759960
AoE enemy spam is probably what Cataclysm is meant to be, but that mode is kinda tedious and the visual clutter makes it pretty unenjoyable at times.

>>1759960
there are plenty of aoe and single target modes, but desu none of them will matter like 1 month after release because your characters will be WAY too strong...
desu there is no "endgame" in the beta
most characters also didnt matter, having the correct discs for the attribute felt way more important

pvp will be a battle royale and I will take snapshots of your dead bodies.

>>1760046
As an f2pchud how do I avoid being dabbed on by whales?

>>1760076
I kind of doubt they'll have some sort of direct PVP option like that or it'll just be a f2p bloodbath and that's not very fashionable. I think more fitting would be some sort of co-op game mode where whales still get to flex their massively overinflated characters without screwing over poorfags.

>>1760076
There will be a shard farm system so eventually you will have the important characters maxed, whales tend to be gacha hoppers so as long as you play your cards right you will be fine.

>>1760175
I'm hoping it's reasonable. In the beta they only had some very very limited 4* shards in the shop so if they keep that rate you'd be able to get the equivalent of one dupe for a 4* in six months since the shop refreshed was listed as 60 days.

>>1760184
I think that was a visual bug, becase at the end of may it said 30 days but still refreshed. Those shops are most likely supposed to refresh monthly

>>1760267
Maybe, but one 4* dupe every 3 months isn't that much better

How do you niggers not have maxxed all 4stars at this point

>>1754553
>>1755920
>>1759870
Tell me more about this slut

>>1760348
Cute hardworking mailgirl who likes tinkering with junk. She also goes nyaa a lot even though she's not a catgirl and the EN translation for it is highly inconsistent.

Anyone still have the game installed with all its files? I was going to try to dig into the files to get the music and models but I forgot I uninstalled it a day ago.

Anyways, I liked the game decently enough.

>>1760693 (Me)
Turns out the game's files are still kept even after uninstalling. I've extracted all(?) of the game's music as OGG if anyone cares. I'll leave it up for a few days. They aren't named so you'll have to listen to each to find what you're looking for.

https://files.catbox.moe/yhvvmp.7z

All of the game's files and unity assets are in StellaSora_Data\StreamingAssets\InstallResource. I was looking for these two tracks:
https://files.catbox.moe/p98vin.ogg
https://files.catbox.moe/ee2mhx.ogg

>>1761889
much appreciated.
I typed up some opinions I was going to post, but I figured what was on youtube wasn't enough to judge if the ost was worth paying attention to. this helps.

>still only 3.2m prereg
sssisters...

>>1762110
should have LET ME IN

>>1761889
that's neat
do you have any 3d models?
doesn't matter what character, and don't need textures, just wanna peak at how they're constructed
i'll take whatever format you can export

>>1762917
Here is Iris/Ayame in FBX format. I included my blend file with all the textures set and animations you can view on her. If it doesn't open from file, open blender first, then load it.
https://files.catbox.moe/mvapk8.7z

If you import the FBX, the Face/Head mesh won't be rigged but it does have Shape Keys. Just rig it to Bip001_Head and it's all good.

I've wrote down which characters are which if anyone else cares enough to get the models themselves. You can use a nightly version of AssetStudio to open/view/export them as FBX.

https://files.catbox.moe/pz4req.txt

See you guys at global launch.

Damn, I've been looking for a new gacha release to jump into from the start and this looks super up my alley. I loved Dragalia Lost. The gameplay looks simple but engaging enough and I love Survivor style games in general. Art looks fantastic. Why the fuck is there no global release date. I want it noooooooow.

>>1765852
>last week was 3.2M prereg
>this week 3.45M
It will hit the 8M goal in mid october, so around then.

>>1762110
It will hit peak pre-reg when the game is about to drop like every gacha game, just wait for Japan to get a hold of the totally not BA art and it will explode.

Panties?

>>1748119 (OP)
>uma musume global in 2 days

>>1768921
this matter not to me.

>>1765933
>3.65M now
anyway, I really can't fathom how they decided to completely skip out on any coop features for this top down game.

>>1769474
almost completely linear growth so botted like all the other pregs.
>coop
Probably a later release to bring people back.

Does it have a PC client? No janky emulator pls

>>1773699
Yes there is a pc client.

>>1759870
thats a shame genshin gacha system takes all the fun from pulling

>>1780995
Higher base rates and what seems to be a set up for characters being added to standard makes it a bit better than normal.

Are there panties or is it shit?

>>1781285
Fanservice is like BA, tasteful fanservice.

>>1782800
seems more lewd than BA on average

>>1782800
Conflicting statements

>>1782978
Awesome, I like how it has a cute style and cute lewd is the best.

>>1765933
>>1769474
One entire month later and only at 3.9m.
They really need to market/advertise this literally anywhere to get some eyes on it.

>>1795283
They probably have a booth in comiket
