Neowiz, can you at least translate this image into English first?
I love the girls in Brown Dust 1 and this, but the sequel gameplay just wasn't clicking with me. I'm not sure I like the little contained stories/worlds and playing it on emu didn't feel good. I don't know why.
>>1377925 >the sequel gameplay just wasn't clicking with me Maybe cuz the combat relies on cooldowns and meters? Because they split damage into physical and magical and currently favor magical? All that in-between-battles shit because the devs really wanna play that "just like muh real gamez!" angle? I dunno, I'm just guessing. >I'm not sure I like the little contained stories/worlds Multiverse shit always cheapens things, and the devs seem really insistent on introducing BD1 characters this way. Also, it could easily end up like Guardian Tales where they keep churning out endless filler content while the main story progresses at a snail's place >playing it on emu didn't feel good Emus always suck, and BD2 has an official PC client anyways
If BD2 were to fall into /vmg/-and this is assuming BD1 is still around by time that happens-would this thread merge with theirs? It's pretty obvious BD2 has the Genshin/Nikke problem where their fanbase is a completely different beast from its predecessor game's
Recently discovered this one. How long has this game been going on for and how alive is it currently? Also is it self published or does it has a publisher? Also is it f2p friendly? Really like the art style of this game!
>>1398198 >how long has this game been going on since 2017 >how alive is it Could be deader. Used to have threads on /vg/. I've seen games as old as this one-like Soccer Spirits, Crusaders Quest, and King's Raid-stop making content and enter eternal maintenance mode. This game is probably kept alive by paid skins sorta like Azur Lane >Also is it self published or does it has a publisher? The publisher is Neowiz >Also is it f2p friendly? It's an old-gen Korean gacha, that's never really been their biggest selling point. There's a reason most people avoided gachas until Arknights or Genshin. Still, the game should give you enough freebies to blaze though the story's first arc (dunno about the second or third)
>>1539032 I saw from the BD2 general, as an old time fan my condolences on the sad news. I'll be sure to jump on again at some point to enjoy arenas one last time and the last update.
5* that need their companions >Elija >Aaron >Antonio >Deomaron >Lecliss >Ludia >Aie >Edwin >Garinoth >Hijin >Lorang >Laura >Sabrina >Themis And a we will probably never get all 4*companions .
>>1539032 Time to check out BD2 if you want to continue the story It removes any sort of story and lore in favor for cheap porn with the general being one of the worst gacha threads you'll ever post in so you can watch how they continue to destroy everything that people liked about the franchise
>>1539624 Yeah they should really alternate between story pack and character pack. Now they have to spam character packs after spamming story packs. Also, check out how often a multi million dollar gacha game like genshin even update it's main story (archon quest). It's 1-2 a year.
>>1539642 Genshin does events every week though and it's usually pretty massive when they do update the story with production values through the roof Games like HSR do updates every patch too and the average gacha usually updates their story every 1~2 months so it's very unheard of for a game that's barely a year old to just outright admit they're putting the story on hold until nearly the 2nd anniversary
>>1539661 It feels like Destiny Child all over again... I was hoping BD1 would still be around should BD2 somehow fall into /vmg/, but I guess that won't be the case...
>>1540108 A dead thread like the one we're in is way better than an ""active"" thread that survives purely off shitposting, baiting, spite and trolling
I'd rather have 2 guys that like the game as much as me over 200 that don't particularly care about it and just find it fun to have a chatroom where they can freely troll on the internet
>>1540083 It's only a year old, give it time. Gook gachas usually fall off around 3rd or 4th anniversary, if not sooner-Case in point: Guardian Tales, King's Raid, BD1, etc. (And remember, some of those games used to have threads on vg). Maybe BD2 will be different, but only time will tell
>>1540133 That's not the problem, the problem is that current /bd2g/ doesn't particularly care about Brown Dust, Brave Nine, the story, the lore or the characters. It's usually either a porn dump or a toilet for someone to shitpost about whatever the fuck they're getting mad that day which is really bad if you actually wanted someone to talk about the game with. Same disease as big game generals except without any of the benefits that come with playing a 'big game'.
>>1540151 >current /bd2g/ doesn't particularly care about Brown Dust, Brave Nine, the story, the lore or the characters. Given how much BD2 loves to rely on the multiverse for content and scrapped the BD1 tutorial, I don't think BD2 itself cares either.
>>1540171 A real shame too, considering the ability to hop across universes should have given the developers infinite refresh time should a story get "old" for them and focus on something else. I sure hope that story break into 2025 helps them get their shit back on track.
>>1539647 BD2 have fewer staff, fewer budget, etc. Let's not forget that their original update schedule are every 4 weeks. That's why most event took place in an already existing character packs and only in the form of "VN story". Hopefully now that they EoS'd BD they will put more resources into BD2.
>>1553286 Most people these days never played ANY gacha before Genshin, definitely not before Arknights that's for sure. Between Genshin, Nikke and BD2, we're living in the age of secondaries
Musketeers and Rene are good now. I guess the renewal really helped them.
I don't quite remember the old Musketeers skills. I'm pretty sure they have something with set effect attack combination before (need to deploy all three for the skills to work) but it's gone now.
>>1595308 There are so many good rewards just by playing the game and there's 1 gold shop where we can buy rare items (skill books, selector tickets, etc).
We still don't know much about the offline version.
>>1597256 Like that anon, I was also waiting for the game to EoS so I could read through it without much grinding. Can I read the game's story without trying too hard with team-building? Also, are all the previous event stories available for reading?
>>1600700 I am that anon, and the game story is super easy since they give you 2 of the 3 mythics within a few days of starting + Fabian They also give enough materials to level all the characters you need You will still need more to max your characters, but story hasn't been an issue so far
For the mythics, I wen't with the support and the warrior. The mage also seems pretty great from what I've seen (borrowing from a friend), but mages need 1 round setup by default. There are ways around it, but they're less obvious or available to new players.
You also get tons of extra gems since purchases with real money are completely disabled. Starting now, I expect I'll be able to get all of the available costumes before EoS just in case they take them out
Full disclosure I just started playing last week and know barely anything about the meta
>>1604871 Just installed it. Thanks for chiming in. Glad to hear that you could go through the story without much issue even if you don't go knee-deep learning about the meta.
Also, if you can't beat a story stage, you can look at the in-game message board in each stage, usually some players will post what formation they use to beat the stages.
About the meta, just use this website and look for the most popular characters https://book.bravenine.com
>>1626007 >No christmas Bummer, but considering I was expecting this to be more limited than I thought, this is still more than welcome news. Free mode is fantastic.
im new to browndust2, i didnt realize some of these characters were from other games. sorry to those losing out on any possible new story for the game being ended :(
i love brown dust. do threads get made often for it?
>>1806147 I really hope they don't actually do that. The whiny retards who get triggered at a goonerbait game daring to have a few dudes here and there should fuck off and play something else. It's not even like the game has a self-insert MC who might get cucked, so what's even their problem in the first place?
>>1806380 The writing was kind of on the wall though. They've been progressively trying to forget about the lore/story since 1st anniversary and put porn as their bread winner.
This is just the audience they earned themselves for doing just that and said audience doesn't want to read or see ""icky males"", they just want to jerk it to big booba females.
>>1806147 Doubt that's going to happen. But regardless it does need a rewrite in the beginning because the first several chapters are boring and low quality compared to the newer ones.
>>1806395 >Doubt that's going to happen. That's what the crowd wants and the devs are quick to bend the knee. They have historically bent it for everything so it'll either be genderbent males or removed males. I'm not sure which ones worse, honestly.
>>1806399 That crowd must be those autistic chinks who rent the trucks with billboards on them because even the koreans on Arca seem pretty split on whether they want males or not.
>>1806147 I played BD1 so I'm used to having males everywhere in the story, I don't see any problem with having males in story, playable or NPC. This just reminds me how different it is back then, when BD1 was released, mixed gender gacha seems normal, I don't recall any loud "anti-males" in any older gacha games... or maybe I just don't remember.
About changing the main cast, I guess I kind of fine with it. After all, BD1 have 2 group of Main Characters, Captain and Adel, they both follow their own story before working together in Chapter 3. As long as Lathel, Justia, Scheherazade, and Gray still exist and active in story then I'm fine with new cast.
This seems like the reverse of BD1. BD1's Captain (self-insert) being replaced by Adel. In BD2, Lathel will be replaced by self-insert.
I think I have more problems with the reasoning behind the new story direction, apparently it's because players doesn't want male-female relationship and having males appear in story because it makes them "uncomfortable".
>>1806955 >As long as Lathel, Justia, Scheherazade, and Gray still exist and active in story then I'm fine with new cast. That's the problem though, they likely won't exist anymore. They'll either get genderbent, killed or removed.
>>1806147 It's a really shit move but one that was obvious would happen sooner or later, especially after they first introduced the Bunnies and started attracting more coomers and kowtowing to them more and more. Add to that how popular self insert waifu games are, and, if anything, it's surprising they haven't done it yet. Was hoping they wouldn't go so far, but after a while it became obvious to me that it would happen sooner or later, and even if it doesn't happen now after the last survey, I have little doubt it will sometime in the future anyway.
I logged in for the first time in a month to get all the new year rewards stuff and it looks like the character ages were removed from the profiles now?
>>1918913 Yeah, it happened a few weeks ago after the Steam release didn't work out. They didn't say why but personally I think it had to do with Justia and Teresse's summer skin interactions since they're both teenagers.
I played for a while to get the Senran Kagura content, but there kind of is this tonal whiplash were you go from some SNES JRPG looking thing then BOOM 200% RATE UP SEXY BIKINI as soon as the gacha menu opens up.
>>1925160 The gook director dogeza'd on livestream and said the ass slapping minigame and the outfits won't be censored for now. It's just that all future content will be censored in secret because the only reason people reacted to this is because they already had them or knew what the uncensored versions are.
>>1955872 Who knows, keep in mind that BD2 isn't really trying to bloat the roster as quickly as BD1 due to the how the gacha/combat works. Their tendency to add OCs never before seen in BD1 isn't helping either
>>1973031 There's a $5 bundle with a bunch of enhancement items that's good for new players to get a head start but other than that you don't need to spend at all.
Just downloaded. How much of the game is that gay shit compared to the good stuff? I'm really not in the market for another textbook, quest trudging RPG
>>2016274 The main story and feel starts off as another textbook rpg with a generic story and uninteresting characters which is why it was doomed to eos unless it made the gooner pivot. Eventually they could afford better writers and the main story got pretty good by the end of it(part 1 is over). There's a lot of alt universe stories of the characters some light hearted fun, others dark and tragic. The lewd interactions you see where you can grope the characters is by the self insert who will be the main character in part 2 of the main story.
Dumb question for the brown dust 2 enjoyers, if they did a Fated Guest for Rou or Granadair, will the devs be allowed to make it as lewd as Palettes or will the law blueball me from what I rightfully deserve?
>>2017440 They cucked out pretty hard on Teresse just because of her age despite not looking nearly as young as those two, so yeah, chances of the latter are pretty high
>>2017440 Zero chance it will be that lewd, if they get a FG it will be cute focused. The lolis are barely lewded to begin with and they had to censor them in germany and teresses highschool student costume.
>>2017594 I forgot what the newbie banner is exactly but I think you just select 3 characters and those are the only ones you can pull, no spooks. If that's the case it's clearly better better because pool of 3 5 stars>12 pool
