Seeing Uncie Valk just give up like this is rough. As somebody who's been through a few "it's not EOS" moments in Korean MMOs (and the downfall of WoW), I definitely get it.
You can play RTA with 0 speed with tankdown, don't cry just because you don't have godly speed gear, Valky has been playing the game since the game began.
@@Enigma6424 yeah but he specifically said that you are playing wrong if you dont have multiple 20 spd gear in a year of playing which is not really true
wow, There's a whole lot to break down from all this. Crazy podcast. Probably gonna just make 2 or 3 comments. This one will just be more general. First, the whole SG situation at NA really sucks. It sadly doesn't surprise me though because I a a part of that storm. millions of devs laid off in the last few years, especially in the US where no one wants to pay Americans anymore and with AI pretending it is ready to replace human jobs. That's a whole thing too long for a youtube coment, but just keep this in mind and look around for all the different layoffs you'll continue to see this year. Microsoft did its 3rd rounds of layoffs last week (it promised the FTC it wouldn't do layoffs) In terms of Smilegate: yeah, I think the best days of E7 are behind us, peeps. It'll go on for a while an we'll probably keep getting some "beginner bonuses start now!" events to keep new blood flowing. But I'll repeat my cold take that this game isn't going to ever rise again as long as they gatekeep the new players with this horrendous gearing system. a f2p player is never going to be competitive without setting up a 24.7 server rack to keep grinding (which is against TOS) or whaling out for stamina. Given that we jumped the shark to monetizing gear now, I simply have no hope we'll proper rethink the idea of how to alleviate this gear experience for the other 11 months of the year. E7 can't get away with that now as a 7 year old game with copetition like Hoyo, WW, Shinin Nikki, Nikke, etc. And future content like NTE, Enderfield, Anannta, Azur Promilla, etc. Competition is night and day. Outerplane is probably cooked and the saddest thing is that no one seems to disagree. Shame because for all its flaws I feel it did actually fix the a lot of the core gearing issues. 300 SPD isn't something reserved for RNG, it's just something you focus on for a few months of grinding. Hope hat team gets another chance. So naturally, , I have less faith in CNZ that probably won't learn these E7/OP lessons and probably give us the worst of both worlds. I'm probably wrong, but SG keeps screwing up and I don't see them doing another equivalent of the KR conference if/when they piss off the KR fanbase too much with some sort of powercreeped BS. So yeah, I guess I'll use up my pulls grabbing Fenne, but probably will just stick to watching others play the game.
Now for specific stuff in the video. re:collab: interesting. High bar to set with "easily moe hype than Demon Slayer". We did FMA already, so all that really comes to mind is"The Big 3", DBZ, and maybe Eva. Eva is definitely out tho (Nikke confirmed Eva part 2 in like, April). Maybe a few bigger but older franchises like FF, DMC, or Persona. slight aside for Aespa... well dang. I knew it was dead, but I didn't know it was DEAD dead. truly the most bizarre collab. Kizina "collab" was nice, but very clearly not coming back once she retired (even if she does come back... She's a boomer memetuber in a sea of coporate streamers and idols). ------------ re:staff in KR: holy toledo. Twice? What are they doing over there? care enough about backlash to kick out their entire executive suite (unheard of i the West). But it felt like they never took any preventative measure to stop this before it happened. e.g. maybe having more players/CM's early on in the feature development or a beta server to get feedback from on kits. Welp, KR and JP share that culture: huge shows to accept blame, but not necessarily productive measure to prevent it. it's at least nice to hear Yuna came back since then. Its a shame that it feel like tht E7 is simply fully in the hands of SG instead of Supercreative. ---------------- re: other games: different platform for me. I play plenty of console games. But I can't bring FF7R on the go. I save console stuff for a good sit down session. It's mobile stuff during the weekdays when I'm often on the go. It's also kinda why I don't play those big open world games on my phone. Nah, I need buttons for that. as for streams... I'm a boomer if we're being real. I grew up in the LP days and I never really transistioned to streaming. Times just never work out and there's no way I will get away with watching a stream at work.
I have just over 5k mystics and I'm turn 2. I have been extremely unlucky and wasn't able to get luna, ily, Harsetti or senya. Should I just save for the custom mystic banner later this year? Pierra just seems like she is cleave only. Already used pity on HWa (sadly).
46:00 Imagine talking down to players who get fucked by the slot machine. I have better speed gear on my 3 month old alt account than my 4 year old main account. Getting speed gear is not a player skill issue, it's RNG. "Oh hey, it hit" like it max rolls on every hit. There's no "playing the game wrong" when speed checks give you 2's. Unless there's some sort of skill mini-game that prevents min rolls that I don't know about, the player has no influence on the roll.
It's statistics. Law of large numbers. If your 4 year old main account can't build a 300 ran it genuinely is skill issue at this point. Either that, or you're in the literal 0.01% of unluckiest players in the world. Could be the case, probably isn't.
@@MrKinsenas yeah I just sincerely doubt they are in the 0.01% lol. Every time I've seen someone talk like this it turned out they just speed checked a lot fewer pieces in total than fast players.
1:47:00 this sounds so ominous in hindsight... literally got chills listening to that
😑Really?....you got "chills".

the ai generated detection screenshot was from me! so glad that got circulating LOL
i am a beta player and sadly is realy bad to see how the game becomes just waiting for that vip system to be introduce anytime soon
o7
And here is me playing everyday for 3 years with less than 10 20 spd gears. Not everyone has your luck Valky.
it's been a year for me and i only have 1 lol

@@MasterNasr0 I had my first 20 spd in my 2nd year, now almost 4yrs I have less than 10 hahah
@@MrKinsenas yeah like I'm been playing this game for 2 years and my best speed gear is 252 on Clilias and hey i haven't even started playing RTA

That’s what I’m saying!!! My rng is trash but I because I know how to do math, I end up winning most battles in this game 😅
loved the lengthy discussion, been here for a year, whats the awaken potential drama(?)

I hope you guys pick a newly released game next so we can all get started together.
yea I only really see eligos probably being able to beat her but youd also need a book so goodluck
