    I never really saw any advertising for this game. Only reason I even found it was redownloading final fantasy tactics for nostalgia and happened to find SOC like a month after launch, but still to this day I’ve never seen an ad run for it.

    There is absolutely nothing worth buying except the $5 monthly and *maybe* the new cornucipia pass. I'm no whale, but i want to spend a little bit. I want to give the game my money. Just PLEASE give me something to buy that is better than $25 per multipull.

      This is probably the biggest problem. They're using the "buy your waifu" approach to monetization. But this isn't a "buy your waifu" game, this is a tactical strategy game. Those who play this game want to feel like they are making tactical, strategic spending decisions.

      My biggest problem is not even getting the characters. I'm close to hitting 180 pity for the second time in 3 banners. I had to burn all sources plus monthly sub to get Saffiyah, and now it's happening again with Homa.

    Maybe if it didn't cost me TWENTY fucking dollars for just TEN pulls a pop, when the hard pity is at 180 or something ridiculous. So let's do some quick maths; TWENTY, TIMES, EIGHTEEN = $360. $360 FOR JUST A SINGLE FOCUS CHARACTER!!! Fuuuuuck no. And then the skins are also about twenty dollars, which is just as ridiculous for a PIXEL game. This company's greed will kill their product in less than a year if they don't change things for affordability. Replayability is obviously there but everyone's broke around the world man.

    I agree that devs does not handle the game well. It is hard to watch these numbers falling down month after month.
    When this game came out, it earned my sincere respect because it is a solid title that does not rely on character sexualization and waifu-mindset.
    For past months I dropped most gacha games I've been playing, but I kept SOC because it is a gem.

    For me the daily grind is a chore, which is crazy considering we have a sweep function.
    In other games, I log in, do my dailies, and I’m done for the day, and can choose to play again anytime within the day to make sure I don’t cap, but its my chosen time.
    This game, I log in, do my dailies, then I have to log back in around 12~15 hrs later because the stamina cap is lower than our daily refresh rate (we get 360 iirc), and then, I have to log in AGAIN a 3rd time because of the endurance bonus coming up in a very inconvenient time (4am), so I “have” to log-in before I go to work because my next break is already reset.
    --
    TL;DR other games, log-in do dailies, log out, and log in again anytime so you don’t cap.
    This game, 3 different and possibly inconvenient times to make sure you don’t miss anything.

    And don’t get me started on some drama.

      I recently learned that you can log in after both daily energy bonuses times to collect them both at the same time. Now I just need to burn my energy before it maxes out before the first bonus and then again after the second bonus. This worked out better with my times.

    @enviseon 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    One of the most concerning things about SoC right now is that we are still in the 'rush-to-catch-up' phase. They aren't really making anything new for us and even with this 'rushed schedule' the game is feeling stale. I love the game a lot and want to see it thrive, but it seems to be missing engaging content variety. Spirals is just too repetitive and time-consuming to drive long-term engagement, and sporadic puzzle-esque events don't make the combat/roster building system feel justified.

You realize there are triple a games that make a few million in their lifetime and are still seen as a success right? Gachas don't cost that much that making a million a month will kill a game. CCs constantly crying about fear of eos is getting people to quit because they don't know anything about business. You guys kill games by scaring people away.

      This is a severe drop off. 50 -60% every month since launch so we are about 90% down in revenue from first month.
      Some sources say global made as little as 20k last month after they introduced a hype character a new skin and a buffed battle pass.
      It's just not a good look and the players also see that.
      There is also a competitor releasing this month thst will take more of the revenue from SoC as its a similar genre.

  • @greno1083
    @greno1083 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +9

    SoD is too grindy for alternate endings, long periods of only doing dailies (which is kind of clunky to be honest), events aren't really that engaging. Endgame isn't engaging enough either. I cannot really pinpoint the issue there exactly to be honest. The only other gacha I'm playing is Star Rail, but there I am excited for the new endgame stages every 2 weeks. In SoC I just don't get the same excitement
    I also feel like one of the core issues with SoC is that the team building is almost too much just good stuff thrown together, which doesn't make you excited to build teams. Sure, Homa and Auguste have great synergy, but that's not enough to be a core. I'm currently using the same handful of units for everything, to the point where I don't look at the stage before playing a stage, I rather swap stuff up if I fail. I feel like the elemental teams in Girls frontline will make it quite easy to have teams that feel more synergistic and force you to use different teams for different content. I feel like it is quite damaging to the fun of a game when you can just mash the same units into everything and still succeed. We'll see how that plays out for gfl2 in practice though. Variety is fun, but forcing yourself to play suboptimal for the sake of varieties sake isn't that fun

    What I played: Sword of Convallaria
    What I expected: Final Fantasy Tactics with a dash of Suikoden
    What I actually got: Dora the Explorer goofy ahh educational stages where my characters are either warming the bench or helping me to harvest vegetables
    There's almost no sense of epicness in the story, all of the routes except one has a mook-tier boss, the game's plot can be summed up as an inferior Long Live the Queen, there's been basically zero progression in the story, the devs claim that they make new SOD story by selling characters but all of them except the witches were found early on in the game (Yes, those like Pamina already existed before release), but most importantly the event stages are so painful that I actually brought up the suggestion to make a pass for skipping the intervals because Radiance knows people WOULD pay for that.
