You spoke for many of us who loved the game, played it for many seasons, tried everything the game had to offer, and now we are truly, burned out. My hive and I will retire from the game, because there is nothing else to chase after, not even starchroms can entice us anymore since they made it super easy to get it. One can simply craft stacks of all-purpose-hand in Eternaland to max out the monthly starchroms cap in just a couple of hours. Not only that, every major things that rewards us starchroms are now rendered useless to chase after, like Prime Wars and Weekly Purifications because they give us Esterisms, which we already can bypass all of it with the all-purpose-hand trick. I think most of the old players of this game will retire until the devs open up the new map area of the game, or they might come back to the new features that will come out next year, but in between those waiting times, they would rather play other games than this
Yeah the Starchrom changes made it a MUCH more casual game with no real expectations, which is good on one hand but for those who like to dedicate their time to only one or two games and "master" them, it's left them in the cold really. With deviation mutation coming that sounds like it will eliminate the 5/5 grind too..
The other problem I face is that build variety is lacking, whenever you want to try something new you end up finding a bug that forces you to use the usual builds or you will struggle. I recently tried to make a raining cash build and on paper is amazing, however the server a lot of times fails to recognize if you are on FW state or not when you are on a group, turning it useless. And that is just an example of many, every time they patch something they break twenty more things
@@RealMrKraken My understanding when they introduced Asterism was this feature will be an "Addition" to the game to give players extra source of Starchromes but i never expected them to literally just replace EVERY SINGLE Feature in the game that gave starchrome before to only give Asterism now which is a Fatal Execution of this feature because like the original comment said, It killed the Activities people loved in the game.
0:35 NOOO! the amount of content is so low for the time frame, their entire roadmap for the year is literally what HoYoverse (Developers of Genshin Impact,Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Impact 3rd, Etc.) can do in 6 weeks lol.
Combination of lack of general content (until Q3 2025) and the introduction of paywall game mechanics (bounties) has really hampered the enjoyment of the game. I am baffled that they did not complete and re-release Way of Winter with the cut content and bug fixes. Lastly is the continued un-documented changes the studio makes to the game; example they modified tamed/breeding of animals to remove the "blue" trait when animals matured. No notes, no comments, just removed the option without communicating with the community. Half the time hive or I run across a change we are confused if it is a bug or it was just un-documented change and that is really problematic.
Completely agree, and if the game files weren't such a ball ache to decrypt and read regularly, I'd be keeping a much closer eye on codebase changes to call out undocumented changes
We havent even tried to finish our last manibus before we quit, playing manibus for the 4th time isnt fun, i doubt that the new spice theyre adding would change the staleness of manibus is. We would probably come when a new scenario comes but the game right now isnt gonna keep us grinding back up to max level and unlock rift ancors/teleporters for the nth time. Ive got 4 sets of different builds , powersurge smg/shotgun , SR/pistol bullseye , frost vortex m416, fast gunner lmg, burn lmg, all mods have atleast 2+ gold substats and i have skill5+ deviants to compliment the builds ive got all that just from playing casually 1-3hr(since launch), no amount of starchrom or controller is gonna bait me to continue the game since me and my friend have nothing to do :(
The hubs & I are doing our 3rd season ... we weren't really going into this season hardcore by any means because .. life/winter/etc .. but even we've had a bit more of slow down because .. everything is just feeling a bit too easy with the Asta-whatever-reward wheel. The Christmas " Event " is the game in macro. There's no real reason do do anything other than to spam the ' r ' key with 1 of each of the delights till you exhaust your resources and then farm them again and again .. till you're bored silly with doing that or got what rewards you wanted and just let everyone else on the server reach their various amount so personal goals and get the final (actual) starcom chest .. but .. as you said .. starcrom is now a bit too easy to get and .. what to do with the stuff after you got all the things you wanted .. ?? {shrug} And, without even really trying I've gotten like over 30 of the Astra-whatevers chests just waiting till the Reward Wheel refreshes .. which in itself is just kind of sad.
Yeah, the Christmas event was novel for all of 10 seconds. The best event so far was the racing event, actually had a lot of fun trying to beat my personal best
Yup agree love the game but nothing can save it from itself The new content is not interesting enough and the old content is just broken with a huge lack of balance 80% if not 95% of all the food, drink, weapon, armor, and deviant are useless The best build is still the same from season 1 with bingo and old huntsman boots. Even the new weapon change/buff cant keep up against that build except the KVD boumboum (but only for PvE because the explosion do not triger any burn stack on players) On top of that you add the skip animation bug of the rapid fire calibration for sniper (that has never been adressed) and the new Roll speed desync festival that is dominating the PvP
This is my 4th season and probably my last as i can't find the itch to play anymore.. was excited for way of winter and that was a cluster-fuck sadly.. And the dead-end roadmap doesn't help in the slightest. GG
I'm just about to finish my 4th round of this game, and can't see myself tiring from it anytime soon. Will be looking forward to this new feature, while hoping it holds up against the standards so far, and eventually ends up in one big open world to roam for longer durations of time. Happy New Year, and see you all in 2025.
This game won't make it till then, Paid-for achievements,0 listening skills,0 customer service, and money-grubbing devs have all but killed this game. I have 1200+ hours into it and have long since left and have watched the player count go down by 20k each month. It's not getting any better, I loved this game and had my whole team playing it but they all fell off slowly. It got harder and harder to keep them playing when nothing they wanted was put into the game, but loot crates and terrible cosmetics were constantly being pushed... They are money-hungry they do not care about story or gameplay they will give the bare minimum while asking for more and more money and patience till the game has almost no players left and they move to the next scam.

same enemy, same weapons, at least give us a scenario with Manibus + Winter together, so one server can have 12 weeks or something
Whole map scenarios are the dream, I really hope once the west part has had a scenario that's on the cards

Hyper Beast skin in Once Human? I can't wait to test all of these weapons when they come out.

I mostly build for fun and don't sweat metas but when doing the harder content always switch to the same just because it makes things trivial.
I want new shiny deviations!!

MORE CONTROLLERS NOW!!!!!
I've got hundreds in eternaland 🤣
@@RealMrKraken 😂
New loot box when lol
Next week. They're every fortnight
them flat out saying 8 months for any new content killed the game. adding hp to mobs is dumb
I much prefer this to initial hard mode implementation but yeah, doing it in liueu of scenarios is very disappointing

Tine will tell, I wouldn't be surprised if they are banking on the mobile market keeping it afloat.
Im not impressed,
gg
see you in the deep desert! 🏜
Absolutely will. Someone's got to map it 🤣
