I wonder how long I can keep it. Also, there's a huge advantage to being in the top 3 with deceptively low BP. Tons of people will try to fight you because you award the most points off a Victory. My thing reads 180,000 in the battle screen too, so people who hover around my actual BP or even just above it get btfo by my S5 Joan who I also keep hidden, netting me tons of passive points off of free defensive wins.
their other game acecraft is down for US too. did silver and blood used a third party payment processor and incurred the wrath of apple and google too?
>>1951228 The disastrous blunder behind the management of this game needs to be studied, because it's incredible how it went to being a quite hyped and anticipated Gacha to suddenly being more forgotten than even Morimens.
>>1951246 Morimens had tons of hype after the rework and the devs are actually in discord communicating in English with players. S&B had nothing similar
>>1951246 >a quite hyped and anticipated Gacha Literally only heard about it because someanon was talking about the game on another general AFTER it was out
>>1952283 Search for the newest released gachas usually One bad thing about living in the west is missing out on most niche games coming out of korea and china
>>1952292 Don't think so but I'm not the one calling the shots. The devs have enough cash coming from Mobile Legends to keep the game afloat regardless of income If you worry about that tho just don't buy anything
>>1952983 It says Transcendent on her banner preview. We've yet to get a non Ancestral Transcendent character.
>>1952984 It's obviously going to be Jestel. DoT wants to survive for as long as possible. SR Jestel is a Tank and New Moon
DoT lineup currently doesn't have any tanks.
It appears like the intended set up is going to be: Empoussa Hati Jestel Fanny/Agares (Fanny is obviously better) And spot 5 is a flex between Darcias, Nicole, or Agnes or Acapella.
>>1953302 I think we had one banner like before but I can't remember now Probably will be the case of having another banner in the meantime while this one is up
>>1952998 Huh, Jestel preview out already? Didn't know that. Haven't seen it but if she was promoted as Transcendent then yeah, I think she will be Ancestral. Guess I should stop trying to get more dupes for Empousa and wait for Jestel.
>>1953668 The problem is that it's incomplete, and you're not getting the 2nd half until next month.
Also, anyone notice how long this whole event is being stretched?
It's not just the 55 day Empoussa banner. Everything that used to normally last 3 weeks is now stretched to 2 months. It's clear they're running out of content. And in fact, I think this whole Empoussa thing was planned for the Anniversary, but they're likely pushing it out early because the game isn't going to make it that far.
I somehow like and dislike this outfit I love the new pose and animation but I wish she kept the bone bra and mouth shoes >>1953801 You always get a looney or two every general
>>1953603 (me) I just saw it in-game, Transcendent Jestel next month. They really plan to release 3 Ancestral (Joan, Empousa, Jestel) so close together.
>>1955382 i stopped paying attention to the shitshow story back when stella alternate dimension garbage dropped >>1955287 arent corsets supposed to constrict the waist aka push the booba up a little >>1955238 hes in denial that his goon is in actual peril of getting black holed forever his arguement shifted like 3 times (monthly rev, player base #s, and now attacking everyone who doesnt agree) over the past 5 months its kinda funny even better if the rumor about the saudi company buying up this IP is true then its definitely getting shitcanned because islam wont tolerate this kind of "game"
>>1955382 >different parties I don't quite follow your question anon If you mean storywise you have Noah's party then Cain and Limine + the Bathory as a side faction vs Agares and Genevieve vs Seth + the Church Plus the characters outside the main factions like the succubus, Alene, Augustine, Agnes etc that have their own thing going
>>1955596 Noah and his party of covenant members. Cain who wants something is helping Limine and Agares but also not really. Van Helsing and the rest of the retards who helped the glasses slut. Eloise, the scar/masked dude and Joyce are on their own it looks like. Seth. That new leader as well. And I think Pavana and somebody else were renegades as well. And Ottavia or whatever her name is is also a party of her own.
>>1963583 Crucible adds 3 teams together. So if your average is like 120k, then in crucible your BP would be like 360k.
My account BP is 260,000 200,000 is roughly the BP you have when you break through level 200 for the first time, and 240,000 is generally the BP for when you clear the story and start endgame content.
fuck off to >>>/trash/ the devs dont have any inkling of how to salvage this game beyond spam ancestral us got eos'd without even giving the courtesy of a middle finger blog post from the devs the publisher has too many bad IPs that failed (like how this one did) and cant even sell them at a loss your game cant even get mentioned in the meta threads that exists only on this board
I think after this thread, you should just let it die. There's literally nothing left to talk about. Even talking about the revenue updates is pointless. There's no content, no players, no hope, no future.
The subreddits are dead too. Even in the official discord people talk about other games more than this one. It's over.
>>1968211 >>USA is not 1/3 of the thread anon. according to 4chan gold analytics, it's 87% of posters unless you're all using VPNs t. still can't log in
>>1972177 I don't even give a shit anymore. I'm gonna wait for my pacts to expire in a couple days, do a hail Mary pull for Empussy, and probably delete the game afterwards.
>>1972720 Resonance 1: While Possessing Immortality, Returning Jestel has Control Immunity
Resonance 3: The usual stats increases
Resonance 5: Every 10 sec, applies 1 stacks of Continuous DMG (Magma Scald) to surrounding enemy units. The DMG dealt by Continuous DMG (Magma Scald) increases by 20%/30%/40%
Resonance 7: When Continuous DMG (Magma Scald) deals DMG, dispel 1 Seal effects from the holder.
Resonance 9: The usual stats increases.
Also, I found it interesting she was called Returning Jestel in all her skills descriptions. I tried to find if Returning is just some alt form name after using skills or something but can't find any. I wonder if Returning Jestel is her original name.
>>1972833 Her current name is still Transcendent Jestel. The Transcendent part of her name doesn't have anything to do with being an ancestral ssr though, it's a story thing. She fused with a Scourge like Ami and Hati did although her Scourge isn't one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse
So in the end, they did just give us less limited scrolls and hoped we wouldn't notice.
We only got 20 loving embraces this time.
10 from the login, and 10 from the shop. It used to be 20 from the shop, but then they started doing this thing where they moved 10 of those to some bonus mini game for each event.
This time, there was no mini game, so we just went down to 20 scrolls.
I'm really starting to feel the squeeze as well in the amount of resources I'm able to get to pull for new vassals.
>>1973401 I've noticed it as well. I am free to play and still somewhat enjoy the loop but yeah, we were starved out of resources with the last two banners. Maybe this is why they are going to run for two months.
>>1973620 Last time I played, chapters 12 and 13 weren't voice acted, I'm glad they're still adding stuff and that my laziness paid off since I didn't play story content for the longest time.
>>1973625 By that logic, a game like Last Cloudia would've EOS'd a long time ago since nobody talks about it and the gacha is pretty unforgiving, but it's been going on for years now.
>>1973709 Because that way they can milk the player base for everything they can before they pull the plug. That's how other games did it, like Black Beacon.
>>1973858 >first 10 I got nothing in 17 pulls. That was all of my gems and my hail Mary. My pacts have expired. I have no intention to renew them. From here on, grinding for gems will be even more tedious since I've hit the upper limits of the tower and story mode, and I still don't have a strong enough Empoussa. I'm getting cucked now in PVP (my only remaining source of gems) by people with SS5 Empoussa AND Jestel, meanwhile, I'm still way behind despite spending over $150 last month.
So I'm done.
I deleted the game. I don't plan on playing this anymore.
Idk if it's going to EoS, but I hope it does. Fuck this game, and fuck these greedy fucking devs.
>>1974136 I don't quite get why you're so mad but that's okay Yeah Empousa teams are a dick to fight they usually have way less bloodpower than me but somehow always win in quick battle so I'm avoiding those until I learn a better way to deal with her or build my Empousa team Hope we see you again in the future anon
And suddenly it is impossible to complete it. Like I can't even do it manually, there is no actual gameplay to the game, it's all autoing and statchecking.
>>1979070 Arabs bought moonton/IPs and sab is one of them. Since this game has been shitting the bed since Aiona tittydropped, its up to the new owner to make the judgement call to continue the misery or eos.
>>1979207 Discord is in full copium saying this means they'll relaunch the game, and everything will be fine from there. But all regions are bleeding players like crazy and the game no longer has content.
>>1982035 there's definitely something going on with her eyes if you see on youtube the transcendent aiona event story there's a bit more info on her backstory
>>1988025 It's unlikely to come back, and currently there's been no content and total silence on new banners. It's extremely likely the game will fully shut down soon.
>>1990392 The preview was probably added around the same time the patch released but there's nowhere to get it. I thought it was going to be a reward after the hard stages were unlocked but there was nothing
I quit SaB a week ago to focus on other games. Been playing an autobattler called Dragon Traveler since last year. Personally the art looks like generic waifuslop and the gameplay is just like SaB, but it has so many fun modes, both PvE and PvP. I have been suggesting Moonton to give this game a look so that they can improve SaB. I'm sure there are better games out there, but I think I'll stick to this and Blue Archive.
>>1992091 Yeah, but it's more fun than SaB, and that is why it sucks. It was gradual, but over the months I felt like I was playing this more and last week I deleted the vampire game when I needed space.
If Moonton ever gives out good news, I'll come back but in the meantime I'll be waiting like Manboobs Noah.
How for (you) is S&B? I played at launch but lost my account, I want to be motivated by increasingly cute/ wholesome dialogues at higher affection levels, I live for that kind of thing
Lol no the skip was needed Taiona killed the game by nullifying 80% of content immediately; her and summer Bella made 95% of content pointless Instead of making engaging content around other characters the devs were lazy with anti-Taiona gimmicks (which disbarred most others anyway) No other unit matched her powercreep her powercreep outright until empousa and only the succs had a fun pairing gimmick
>>1992514 I can at least that on a personal level, this was very much the case for me. I remember being interested in the game because of its character designs and story, and then getting to the combat sections in the tutorial and feeling like "that's it? I didn't do anything, I just hit ultimate." It was extremely disappointing.
I tolerated the gameplay. I never liked it. And then as I played the game more and more and understood the mechanics better, I started to clearly see the design limitations of such a gameplay style.
But all the coping retards who constantly defended this game, especially in the discord, kept arguing till they were blue in the face that "no, it's just an autobattler bro" and that "it's actually very skillful and don't understand because I'm not a top ranked player."
Eventually I did get top rank in the PVP modes and that further exposed that's high rank is pure p2w. No skill.
Personally, I'd have wished the combat was more akin to Darkest Dungeon or Morimens, or whatever. Anything other than this gay autochess shit.
In short. Fuck the game. Fuck the devs. And most importantly, fuck all the braindead whales in the discord who STILL defend this trash to this day and are coping it's not dead.
I had stopped playing around November last year and I was very surprised when I saw I couldn't login anymore and the game got pulled out of the stores. Shame, gonna miss Ami and Bella
Crazy how the devs completely abandoned the whole thing. Not even an EoS announcement or anything. Just let the banners run extra long, dipped out, and will let the contract on the servers run out without a single word.
>>1998237 Yes but those have been small dubious devs/indie failures. Real cash grab and bounce scams. Not from a studio that displayed actual quality. First time for everything I guess.
>>1998237 What happened is the parent company apparently got bought out around the time of the server merge for US server players and they didn't re-enable it for US players. It's still playable for players in other regions but there are no updates. I charged back as much as I could via paypal disputes and got my money back easily because they didn't challenge it. Most likely either nobody is at work or they're being reorganized and are too busy to deal with anything.
>>2001007 I think the game is dead. Even it's not officially dead, it's still dead. Most people in all servers already quit. That's a certain death sentence for any live service game. So it doesn't matter if the devs come back or not, the players are already gone. Now all that's left is for the contract to run out and the servers shut down.
>>2001007 >I charged back as much as I could via paypal disputes and got my money back easily Thanks anon I hope I am not too late I will try to get back my skins and monthly money
Honestly such a shame that this game was handled like this. Genuinely high production values with good voice acting memorable characters and an intriguing storyline. What a disaster.
Whoever is doing all these very small maintenance notice clearly is not part of the original localization team. This is like 2nd (or 3rd?) time they use Commander.
