one of the biggest problem for the game is, that it's so beginner unfriendly. If you changed something about it, I think the player numbers would rise again.
Beginner unfriendly lol, the game pukes sugo rares and gems on new players. It's never been as easy to get all sugo rares as now. Sugo rare characters have become too normal the game power creeped itself too fast.
Farming for units now doesn’t feel as rewarding as it did in the past feels more like a chore than anything even if u farm up a newer unit his usage wont compare to that of his super evolution so if u farm for normal unit but no skulls the unit seems useless imo
Scamdai removing the gold key reward for 500 PKA turtles should be considered a violation against the Geneva Convention. On the other hand, it definitely helps to start the game with 7k gems on Android. Not that I know where to get them 🥴
There aren't enough people talking about this one. The only way to get them now is to be in the New World Treasure Map and that is completely unacceptable for anyone with a life outside of OPTC. It basically just made it so the majority of mid level or newer level players won't get them.
@@jasoncanilson2421 You mean NONE. It was the only real incentive in completing PKA and an actual thing that I look forward to every month. Then Scamdai thought "Hmm a gold key per month? The newcomers could catch up in an OK pace and that's not what we stand for." Yoink choke on these co-op tomes ya plebs
People say that the game is dying for 6 years now , the game will not die aslong as one piece is still popular Also i absolutely agree with the beginner stuff, i mean i had to make a New beginner Series every year which Was at atleast 6-7 parts long just to Cover the basics
I have always felt, that for the sake of more fun and challenge, the highest boosters, should be the older legends with less overpowered abilities. Let an event use V1 Whitebeard for 5x drops, while the newest unit does 3x drops. The newest unit will clear the content easily as the content and unit are built for each other, but the Old legend who isn't really considered when making the content, will have a hard time beating the new content, and the team will require careful planning, but as a result of the harder puzzle you should get greater rewards. This would inspire people to think outside the box, and come up with unique teams to get the most drops, which sometimes may be slower then using the new units, even though the newer units are capped at a lower boost. But this will never happen, cause Bandai wants us to spend money, not have fun.
That one guy who said he wanted a team of random units is actually correct: this is a puzzle game at its core and the team-building is, to me, the best aspect by far of the game, so creating a team with completely unrelated characters based on mechanical synergies feels much better than a team where it was already designed to work due to thematic cohesion, basically; I love to build the team, I don't want the team already built
ACTUAL hot take: CP0 Lucci (and other legends who increase duration of buffs in their captains) deserve way more respect in this meta of intimidation interrupts etc, utility isn’t just debuff resistance
TM isnt the best. Its the most rewarding. The actual content itself is the most boring, and new cards ruined the competitive aspect of the game mode. My late hot take was : Looking at guides for content is what makes the game seem not as interesting. The teambuilding is the difficulty of the game, and giving the answers to it is like looking up Professor Layton answers and then acting surprise when you didnt really play the game. Also : TM should have been deleted when PKA came along, when the only major difference is team on mini boss (that could have been used) and ranking (that also could have been implemented), and TM should have been replaced by a true 100-floor tower mode.
I feel like you could say this for any game with any kind of team building or rpg elements that have stat building etc but if you’re having trouble with the content I don’t see why not. Toadskii would be kinda out of a job if he wasn’t able to team build at least lol. Idk if y’all remember zeenigmai but man was the free to play legend with his team build with multiple teams
@nikolastiscareno4963 I was there, don't worry I know. I even was the first player to make a video on multiple forests full F2P (Ace, Shanks, Jinbei) But that doesn't change the fact that people don't want to teambuild, and so the major aspect of the gameplay is just dead for most people. People argue that GV sucks, because they can't beat it day 1, yet look for the teams that beat it. That is supposed to be whale-late game content. It's supposed to be the hardest teambuilding, and as such, limiting by definition. If players wanted to teambuild, Toadskii wouldn't have to make those videos, and content creators would go for a different direction (like Dokkan focusing more on Pulling, or more PvP centric, maybe more creative things like making legends, etc...) There is nothing wrong with making teambuilding videos, but people just want someone else to do it for them, which is why for youtubers, you have the constant "great I can't teambuild this" comment. Players are themselves killing a major part of the game. In this video, Todd says "I want a button that just gives me a team that beat this event with units I have", again defeating the whole purpose of the puzzle. Tbf, Bandai isn't helping. Making stages way to debuff oriented for new units, giving random new debuffs for no reason. But this has been true since day 1. Raid Mihawk was incredibly hard without G3. 20th Anni island was impossible outside of 2 teams and 20th batch. Colo Doffy/Trebol was a joke. This has been constant as a gacha. But the big issue from Bandai is time. Optc doesn't let you have time to innovate. You get 5 days, fuck you and clear missions. If they stopped time gating events, it would allow teambuilding to breathe. But that hurts 2 MAJOR parts of mobile gacha : 1/ Money. 2/ Time spent on app. As someone who has worked on mobile games, let me tell you, that 2nd metric is Jesus to game studios. They want that number the highest possible, because more time you are on a game, more likely you are to summon to not spend time grinding.
@@maniakk1300 right but I would imagine that second metric going up if there was long form content that then got easier as the teams made newer fortnight characters, I think toad does a great job of not having to do the whole let me team build for everyone he says no this is the most optimal and let me show you why which I enjoy because yeah it shows literally every debuff in the game mode which is so important as you highlighted. And it’s more of less that first metric that they are measuring which is why I believe we see a lot more super sugo fests than there should be. Because bandais like here have more super sugo characters and I’m woah pump the breaks but they are making so much money compared to old sugo fests. I think after the shanks crew banner they never made another good sugo fest because that one was so good but necessarily for them. But yeah I agree old content was hard but that’s why it was so cool to see team builds because fucken a it was just hard to beat why not use a unevolved form of usop to stall for more damage! It was so cool! Along with sugo fest characters books being in the fortnights so it felt like an actual grind and yeah now the grind is almost all gone expect for materials are quite literally blocked by not having boosted characters or a lot of time. So yeah sadly that’s where the games at
My hot(?) take: While I'm tired of seeing a new Wano Sugo/Super Sugo unit, Bandai could've easily highlighted other moments from the arc instead of recycling the exact same moment. I wouldn't mind seeing: -Kaido and Big Mom combined attack (Proposal: make them a dual unit and have each character have a different special animation. When dual, have the combined attack special animation) -Chopper slapping Queen -Drunk Kaido (possibly as a 6+ to V1 DEX Kaido and a captain action similar to 4th anni G4 Luffy) -Ryokugyu vs Momo
Kizuna - It needs to be easier to earn Kizuna Coins and Super Evolutions Skull needs to be cheaper on older cards! TM - Increase the drops and make it easier to get Golden Keys, because for those who are just starting out it is impossible to reach those who have been playing for a long time! PKA - Create an auto mode! After reaching level 150 difficulty! And in general I think that creating a means of exchange or after achieving maximum difficulty, being able to exchange Supers for resources that would help maximize other cards... like level limit break and so on Co-op is ok! For now I'm enjoying it! Pirate Rublem - Skip mode! Just like Grand Party! Story Mode - put some cards with 6 or 6+ older and this would help a lot those who are starting!
Hot take: you should place qck red roc Luffy way higher in your tier list. After LLB he offers too much and its only now that we have a better qck Luffy
I do like action specials, but the problem for me is that I can't focus on the animation with my fat finger zipping around in front of the screen I'd like to see some cross promotion with bandai's other games once every few years, if you remember the one they did with dokkan battle where you fought Frieza, and I think they could even do it as a blitz because there are no character drops in it
My general hot take on Uta not being top 5, I just pulled out my ass. Didn’t have a real take to give but wanted to give something and I know the Uta slander gets a good discussion out of you. Love the content ❤
The Hot Take about LLB actually let me think about this Hot Take. The LLB mechanic for older units is counterintuitive when they don't make the unit make the unit better after super evolution but instead make them a completely different character making you have to keep the a copy of the older character Also the game OPTC itself doesn't help the new player enough with team building. I don't understand why they don't have a captain ability filter for debuffs (for example, paralysis, despair, attack down, special bind, bind). Alot of the time I just have to use the OPTC database site to even teambuild cause the filter is heavily limited
There’s definitely a lot of room for improvement! Not much of a hot take but a valid criticism for the game because holy hell is it really hard to find the character you need without going to the third source
I wonder the statistics behind how many of the player base spent more time in the Garp challenges than the latest TM. That's what I've been doing, and it's been so much fun - I miss the try and error of quests.
Late to the threads, but I might as well throw in a take of my own. I feel players would be less frustrated with the way the game shifted towards the game mode cycle (boosted meta I think is what it's called) if they didn't choose to make exclusive Sugo-Fests for those different modes and lock useful characters behind what are almost always terrible value banners ESPECIALLY in the case of Pirate Rumble characters. Imagine how much better it would be if you could pull PR S-Hawk or KC Sabo/Ace during their prime on banners people actually wanted to spend their gems on.
Here's my hot take: screw the support team for not wanting to give back my 5 year old account because twitter authentication got messed up. So even after showing screenshots upon screenshots of proof that I'm the owner of the account they still don't want to give it back and I have no way of trying again. I even showed them the serial code of my purchases made on google play. Just because I forgot my freaking captain subtitle, they didn't want to give it back. F off man
hot take or not but haiving super evolving and devolving be a common thing with no price decrease for skulls in general is absolutely insane. people post teams that flip flop in and out of different versions of characters and its the least accessible thing ive seen in any game.
My account got deleted a year ago and it was a pretty dedicated account after I lost it i kinda lost the urge to play I downloaded it again but don't have nearly the same drive to play it anymore after losing 2+ years of work
Can someone explain me how some people reach 1, 2, 3 or even 4 billion points in the treasure map east blue league? I've cleared it over 100 times with all the new units (×64.0), I arrived top 25 with 333 million and it takes me a lot of hours... how can they reach the billion?
Maybe not hot take but co-op might or needs more ways to talk to the co captain. Some newer players feel they know so much that they horde specials like bruh there are 12 specials we can afford to use a couple until the boss. Unless they limit communication to make the content a bit harder
I've got proof that I use dual Yamato in slasher teams ✍😠 No joke, gets to 36 defense and 31 to others, gets one enemy in close range of getting KO'd, and the special bind is really, really clutch. I've got receipts of using Yamato in GP too, makes the slasher team really hard to kill 👿 Gotta say though, I don't own S-Hawk, so Yamato is a replacement for now but genuinely have won games because of that special.
I do have to disagree with 16:30, I play OPTC with my brother and on his account for the longest time he would use the exact same team with gear 5th 6 star every time for nearly every piece of content, kizuna it worked, treasure map it worked, clash's no problem there, pka he only ever went to 95 and never had trouble, the man brute forced his way through so much of the content I couldnt believe it when we first started since I refused to use the team on principal this was supposed to be a puzzle game lol
46:44 I do have this feeling that the game is sometimes going out fo your way to not even get the bare minimum. Maybe it's because I'm a new player (started since the G5 celebration). The minimum for TM, PKA and even Rumble feel possible but man for Kizuna it doesn't feel like it. Getting all the 5 skulls for the character super evolving feels like not not possible with the amount of Kizuna potions you use (I play on 10* star difficulty). And then later on you kinda need that super evolved unit for the other content. And don't get me started on bandai's awfull decision on how they locked the skulls for the coop units.
Idk where the myth of "theres less content now and you need yo grind it more" came fr but you do realize it's factually untrue right ? Like there has never been a moment in TC where the main content wasn't time gated events where you need to grind out 30+ runs, back then we did it for a single characther, nowadays we do it for the characther and 50 or so gems. We always had to do 50 runs of raid mihawk in 2 days for a chance at maxing him, we always had to clear a super hard collosseum and then farm it 40 times in the span of a week, nothing fucking changed except we get more rewards for the grind and the grind is smaller. The game has problems rn, booster meta coupled with genuinly shit tier releases makes for super boring stretches of droughts and thats the main issue putting people off, pretending it's "the grind" or "lack of events" when modern TC has 4 week long events per month that take 40-50 runs to complete as oposed to 1 raid and colo per month (most of them being reruns) that also took 40-50 runs to MAYBE complete (no aditional gem rewards except for the 5 in colos btw) is exactly why discourse around bettering this game is impossible.
Pretty based! Yeah the grind can feel the same from old school and it really was the lack of free to play characters to boosted units. My thing is keep your events period long but give us good units and give us a lot of time to farm for said units, back in the day the Fortnite would come back, now it just leaves and a new one appears 💀.
@@nikolastiscareno4963 imo the number 1 fix for optc is doing toad's idea of making modes permanent and having ranking periods active in betwen (you can even keep clear rewards to that period idc) and revert the kizuna and tm f2p unit erasure, you do that and the game is perfectly fine, with room for improvement.
I'm sorry but complaining PR takes no skill is just a huge self report, people aren't used to idle pvp and refuse to learn matchups so they just lose over and over. Have diverse teams, know what counters what, understand the fundamentals of how each team comp plays the game out, there are so many ways to give yourself an edge over your oponent but people cry about not being able to have real time combat bcs they can't fathom any other type of pvp.
Truuuuuuue I love PR super pirate rumble feels weird to me because there is such a stark difference! However yes I love the team building there because it feels kinda like old school treasure cruise with using some old units and some new units being good but not all the time
4:54 I like how you read that as me calling Ace a bad legend😂 Bro im calling him overrated not bad. People hyping him up like hes so amazing and hes not as amazing as people say. Hes only so highly regarded because bandai made him almost required for so much content since his release
@@nikolastiscareno4963start of quest CD think is massivly overrated it will rarely matter, then you got the basic atk, hp boost, and matching slot which is whatever, Action Special buff means basically nothing outside a super boss, and the rewind resistance he has is super common. So no I don't agree his captain is really good because there's nothing super special to it that's relevant
Me slapping the 4 units on the celebration info onto a team and beating 99.9% of fights in dokkan after installing it 2 seconds ago (this game is extremely challenging)
some people wouldn't quit, cause it's still one piece. those people still like collecting the units. gems are much more expensive on global (had an alliance mate who shifted to jap server for that), so if this continues, japan might survive down the line, but maybe global wouldn't (it really appears like the playerbase on global is way much less now). i've seen a lot of people quit this game already, and if they didn't quit, played much less than how they used to. There are lots also who decided to stop spending anymore and go f2p. Can't go cold turkey but slowly tuning the game out of their everyday thing. In my mind, if your playerbase is a fraction of what it used to be, and then a fraction of that who spends, then there's no motivation for bandai to make content to make the game more appealing. Bandai is a big rich company, its obvious, but even companies don't continue with things that don't profit.
one of the biggest problem for the game is, that it's so beginner unfriendly. If you changed something about it, I think the player numbers would rise again.
Beginner unfriendly lol, the game pukes sugo rares and gems on new players. It's never been as easy to get all sugo rares as now. Sugo rare characters have become too normal the game power creeped itself too fast.
@@MrFarre90I think if they said not at all f2p friendly, then I would understand.
Farming for units now doesn’t feel as rewarding as it did in the past feels more like a chore than anything even if u farm up a newer unit his usage wont compare to that of his super evolution so if u farm for normal unit but no skulls the unit seems useless imo

Biggest Hot Take is that Toadski is committed to saying that Uta is a Top 5 character.
These are not hot takes, these are just every player’s opinions.

Played Treasure cruise for a year and just recently came back. Game became so complex I didn't even know what half of the stuff meant.
ACTUAL hot take: CP0 Lucci (and other legends who increase duration of buffs in their captains) deserve way more respect in this meta of intimidation interrupts etc, utility isn’t just debuff resistance
Hot take: Rush is for kizuna
I thought about this sht for like 20mins, but just like everyone else, all I had was complaints that people probably share with me
Hot take: they should cap buffs and debuffs. Power creep is fine but new debuffs and buffs make many older units obsolete.
Late hot take: building for GV and some other very difficult (or giga restrictrive) content is fun.
Definitely the minority there, but at least they have something for everyone.
I feel like it would be fun if it’s not legends based and was old characters
Yes, the EOS makes no sense, if you don't like it just quit. Also the game is enjoyable if you don't haste to farm
TM isnt the best. Its the most rewarding. The actual content itself is the most boring, and new cards ruined the competitive aspect of the game mode.

This game is pure shit. Should have never been made
Shafted? 😂
My hot(?) take:
While I'm tired of seeing a new Wano Sugo/Super Sugo unit, Bandai could've easily highlighted other moments from the arc instead of recycling the exact same moment. I wouldn't mind seeing:
-Kaido and Big Mom combined attack (Proposal: make them a dual unit and have each character have a different special animation. When dual, have the combined attack special animation)
-Chopper slapping Queen
-Drunk Kaido (possibly as a 6+ to V1 DEX Kaido and a captain action similar to 4th anni G4 Luffy)
-Ryokugyu vs Momo
My biggest issue rn is that they are releasing so many new legends that none of them feel special or different anymore.
Kizuna - It needs to be easier to earn Kizuna Coins and Super Evolutions Skull needs to be cheaper on older cards!
TM - Increase the drops and make it easier to get Golden Keys, because for those who are just starting out it is impossible to reach those who have been playing for a long time!
PKA - Create an auto mode! After reaching level 150 difficulty!
And in general I think that creating a means of exchange or after achieving maximum difficulty, being able to exchange Supers for resources that would help maximize other cards... like level limit break and so on
Co-op is ok! For now I'm enjoying it!
Pirate Rublem - Skip mode! Just like Grand Party!
Story Mode - put some cards with 6 or 6+ older and this would help a lot those who are starting!
Remember the old challenges where we used zombie teams to clear...best time of optc for sure with zeenigami guides etc
New is nice but, the developers need to make content for all units not just for the new legends of the week.
Hot take: you should place qck red roc Luffy way higher in your tier list. After LLB he offers too much and its only now that we have a better qck Luffy
Hot take: I’m getting tired of this game. It doesn’t even stop to let me save enough to even try to pull for 3 super units.
Idk what you talking about. I hadn't pulled since 10th anni and got LvK, Yamato, and MKD in the span of 8 multis
Ye...new player here. Spent some cash on the game. Like it alot. It is a hell of a learning curve.
One of the most memorable moments in the game was when they collaborated with dokkan
I do like action specials, but the problem for me is that I can't focus on the animation with my fat finger zipping around in front of the screen
I'd like to see some cross promotion with bandai's other games once every few years, if you remember the one they did with dokkan battle where you fought Frieza, and I think they could even do it as a blitz because there are no character drops in it
No medal shop complaints?.. I'm disappointed, ngl.
My general hot take on Uta not being top 5, I just pulled out my ass. Didn’t have a real take to give but wanted to give something and I know the Uta slander gets a good discussion out of you. Love the content ❤
waiting for garp challenge reset was the best trying new legends and gimmicky teams every month with decent rewards was super fun
The Hot Take about LLB actually let me think about this Hot Take.
The LLB mechanic for older units is counterintuitive when they don't make the unit make the unit better after super evolution but instead make them a completely different character making you have to keep the a copy of the older character

There should be auto skip if youve beaten an event. Instead of doing it over and over again

Normal Attacks Only has made damage dealing specials completely fucking pointless. Their entire reason for existence now is to just proc a Support.
hot take or not but haiving super evolving and devolving be a common thing with no price decrease for skulls in general is absolutely insane. people post teams that flip flop in and out of different versions of characters and its the least accessible thing ive seen in any game.
I will say the game was at its best state where free to play was still an option
Well, i'm pissed for pka mess and the lack of stuff such as clash
My account got deleted a year ago and it was a pretty dedicated account after I lost it i kinda lost the urge to play I downloaded it again but don't have nearly the same drive to play it anymore after losing 2+ years of work
Sorry to hear that what happened to the account/phone if you dont mind me asking? ( so i could avoid it happening to me/4+ years of progress)
Love this!….can you ever do a live stream where anyone can join and just random chat about OPTC?
Can someone explain me how some people reach 1, 2, 3 or even 4 billion points in the treasure map east blue league? I've cleared it over 100 times with all the new units (×64.0), I arrived top 25 with 333 million and it takes me a lot of hours... how can they reach the billion?
You're the best Toadskii and love from Japan

50:02 Geand Party qould be awesome without the
1. Attempt limit. (The 10 wins is great btw)
2. Matching you up against the 1% of the games playerbase
1:11:30 they meant needing every color is useless/annoying, not Luffy being effective💀
That guy who talked about the gear 5 annimation was on to something
Wano is also the fantasy version of Japan. Ofc they'll keep coming back to it
Maybe not hot take but co-op might or needs more ways to talk to the co captain. Some newer players feel they know so much that they horde specials like bruh there are 12 specials we can afford to use a couple until the boss.
Unless they limit communication to make the content a bit harder
I've got proof that I use dual Yamato in slasher teams ✍😠
No joke, gets to 36 defense and 31 to others, gets one enemy in close range of getting KO'd, and the special bind is really, really clutch.
I've got receipts of using Yamato in GP too, makes the slasher team really hard to kill 👿
Gotta say though, I don't own S-Hawk, so Yamato is a replacement for now but genuinely have won games because of that special.
I do have to disagree with 16:30, I play OPTC with my brother and on his account for the longest time he would use the exact same team with gear 5th 6 star every time for nearly every piece of content, kizuna it worked, treasure map it worked, clash's no problem there, pka he only ever went to 95 and never had trouble, the man brute forced his way through so much of the content I couldnt believe it when we first started since I refused to use the team on principal this was supposed to be a puzzle game lol
New player here I just play Pirate Rumble but even that's getting boring fast
Hey, I made it on to a toadskii video!
finally, a new challenge
TM and Kizuna, blitz should be a month long and ranking should be the 3-5 days
OPTC is strangely hard 'to remove' from my phone, despite a lot of higher tier games already left my phone. I'm F2P btw
Toaskii you know OPTC players cant read. You need to set it up in meme format for them us to comprehend
Again, people not understanding what hot takes mean in the comments. Kinda sad actually
46:44 I do have this feeling that the game is sometimes going out fo your way to not even get the bare minimum.
Maybe it's because I'm a new player (started since the G5 celebration). The minimum for TM, PKA and even Rumble feel possible but man for Kizuna it doesn't feel like it. Getting all the 5 skulls for the character super evolving feels like not not possible with the amount of Kizuna potions you use (I play on 10* star difficulty). And then later on you kinda need that super evolved unit for the other content.
And don't get me started on bandai's awfull decision on how they locked the skulls for the coop units.
Anyone has an invite code I can usw? I'm a new player.
A unit unless you have the specific skulls for them is kinda mid or useless.
Idk where the myth of "theres less content now and you need yo grind it more" came fr but you do realize it's factually untrue right ?
Like there has never been a moment in TC where the main content wasn't time gated events where you need to grind out 30+ runs, back then we did it for a single characther, nowadays we do it for the characther and 50 or so gems.
We always had to do 50 runs of raid mihawk in 2 days for a chance at maxing him, we always had to clear a super hard collosseum and then farm it 40 times in the span of a week, nothing fucking changed except we get more rewards for the grind and the grind is smaller.
The game has problems rn, booster meta coupled with genuinly shit tier releases makes for super boring stretches of droughts and thats the main issue putting people off, pretending it's "the grind" or "lack of events" when modern TC has 4 week long events per month that take 40-50 runs to complete as oposed to 1 raid and colo per month (most of them being reruns) that also took 40-50 runs to MAYBE complete (no aditional gem rewards except for the 5 in colos btw) is exactly why discourse around bettering this game is impossible.
Pretty based! Yeah the grind can feel the same from old school and it really was the lack of free to play characters to boosted units. My thing is keep your events period long but give us good units and give us a lot of time to farm for said units, back in the day the Fortnite would come back, now it just leaves and a new one appears 💀.
@@nikolastiscareno4963 imo the number 1 fix for optc is doing toad's idea of making modes permanent and having ranking periods active in betwen (you can even keep clear rewards to that period idc) and revert the kizuna and tm f2p unit erasure, you do that and the game is perfectly fine, with room for improvement.
There I am Gary there I am
Where is tubechau?
I'm sorry but complaining PR takes no skill is just a huge self report, people aren't used to idle pvp and refuse to learn matchups so they just lose over and over.
Have diverse teams, know what counters what, understand the fundamentals of how each team comp plays the game out, there are so many ways to give yourself an edge over your oponent but people cry about not being able to have real time combat bcs they can't fathom any other type of pvp.
Truuuuuuue I love PR super pirate rumble feels weird to me because there is such a stark difference! However yes I love the team building there because it feels kinda like old school treasure cruise with using some old units and some new units being good but not all the time
4:54 I like how you read that as me calling Ace a bad legend😂
Bro im calling him overrated not bad. People hyping him up like hes so amazing and hes not as amazing as people say. Hes only so highly regarded because bandai made him almost required for so much content since his release
But his captain you would have to agree is really good! Anyway of getting around debuffs is so good!
@@nikolastiscareno4963start of quest CD think is massivly overrated it will rarely matter, then you got the basic atk, hp boost, and matching slot which is whatever, Action Special buff means basically nothing outside a super boss, and the rewind resistance he has is super common. So no I don't agree his captain is really good because there's nothing super special to it that's relevant
@@thelordshiro I think the rewind is enough lol you don’t find a lot of dex captains with said special so 🤷🏽♂️
My hot take is wish treasure map was faster I donot play too long and hard if u got no boost unit
Not a hot take lol
@@nikolastiscareno4963 oh lol
Hot take: the game is good
😅🤣
nah that’s not a skill issue dokkan has way better team building than this shitty game 💀
tell me you don't know how to play the game without telling me
@@MultiTre3 u just mad that i’m talking shit about the game ☠️
plus toadskii thinks people who don’t like the team building in this game got a skill issue 😭🙏
Yeah man you defs don't play OPTC
Me slapping the 4 units on the celebration info onto a team and beating 99.9% of fights in dokkan after installing it 2 seconds ago (this game is extremely challenging)
some people wouldn't quit, cause it's still one piece. those people still like collecting the units. gems are much more expensive on global (had an alliance mate who shifted to jap server for that), so if this continues, japan might survive down the line, but maybe global wouldn't (it really appears like the playerbase on global is way much less now).
i've seen a lot of people quit this game already, and if they didn't quit, played much less than how they used to. There are lots also who decided to stop spending anymore and go f2p. Can't go cold turkey but slowly tuning the game out of their everyday thing. In my mind, if your playerbase is a fraction of what it used to be, and then a fraction of that who spends, then there's no motivation for bandai to make content to make the game more appealing. Bandai is a big rich company, its obvious, but even companies don't continue with things that don't profit.
