Different opinion than Nova on the way Uma is heading. You can certainly start feeling the powercreep now I certainly hope I'm wrong, but I think around now could be the peak of Uma. Any further acceleration, a botched EN server or stagnation could spell a slow decline At the very least I feel they've drastically shortened the life span of the game in all their decisions since the last full anniversary
@novaboy117410 сағат бұрын
With KR and TW server being as somewhat dead as they are right now, I'm not sure if global is something CG wanted. Maybe things are getting desperate for income. I told my TW friend who used to play uma that there can be a comparison made between Hoyo and Cygames. Although Hoyo's scale of income is far greater with Genshin Impact, Uma made a lot of money in the first few years of its launch in JP. What Hoyo did with their money is to push out HSR and ZZZ relatively fast within the few years since Genshin. However, Cygames have not invested anything new in the 4 years now since Uma's release. They pushed for uma's popularity in KR/TW and even China which failed due to censorship. After that push, we did not see any new gachas being made by CG themselves. Rather, it seems that all the income Uma received over the years just simply went into maintenance mode for uma and probably some other CG games such as Princonne and even Shadowverse. From my perspective, I think Uma's decline will ultimately contribue to CG's decline as a whole. Unlike Hoyo who can depend on multiple gachas besides Genshin (ZZZ,HSR), CG can't afford to fall back on Princonne or anything else since they are making much much less income in comparison. I feel like CG did waste a potential opportunity to invest and push out a new IP during these 4 years that could be just as, if not more, popular as uma. I'm not sure how much it costs to maintain uma as a game, but I feel like they could've invested more on something else in the long run. As it stands, if uma starts declining rapidly, there's no other way for CG to make up that revenue. I can only hope I'm wrong about this.

I am telling you guys to pull meta for your own good tho. HBR is basically 90% story and 10% combat. So having 2 buffer and one attacker really should clear everything lore related. Outside of that, there are contents catered to the sweaty Amazon rainforest tryhards. I only swiped the first week but now I just chill. I'm hording until 90k to get double pity. HBRs pity system make Uma look like a saint!

This is more of a rant than anything else but I just read the intro of a new event in Neural Cloud and I was confused af. it felt like it was written by AI with using very confusing terms. Then I see on reddit that a lot of people did complain that the whole event translation was hot garbage. Mica team did issue an apology for that and will be fixing the translation, but I might have to read this event lore with really bad translation...maybe i should just find the CN script.... I'll suffer via simplified Chinese but at least it's not AI. I'm just worried that GFL2 took a lot of time for the translation team and now there is a major event in GFL 1 coming soon. I'm hoping they didnt rush the translation like they did in NC...The lore is a major selling point for GFL and if you do like the writing in GFL2, then you will probably find other lore enjoyable as well. I just hope GFL2 doesn't drag everything else down..

Yes. Pokemon pocket is basically tcg on phone kind of . It's basically the yugioh duel links for the real yugioh. In duel links we have cards on the deck and less life points and when it begin it started with a lof of old cards and had it's unique meta compared to the real yugioh. In pokemon pocket we also have less cards on the deck. You need 3 points instead of 6 to win, there are no prize cards zone, the energy are not cards instead you have a energy generator. And I'm pretty sure that the pockemon tcg online still exist. They just added some more cards today

Yea...my situation was more dire I'd say. My dad passed away during the Covid years. I had to go back and deal with the funeral process and come back afterwards. I didn't have much time to mourn but I'd say that I felt grief and regret years later. So, I do think about it from time to time, but I realized that everyone will have to deal with this sooner or later. Since I've gone through it already, I now have a different perspective on life. There is a YTber by the name of FG3000 who also lost his mother a year or so ago. He posted a video about it and did cry in front of the camera. It really resonated with me. Still, I'm glad your situation resolved peacefully. It's always the moment of loss that seems to be the longest...

GFL1 - Gonna be pulling some skins this week for Christmas. Eversoul: already did some pulls and got 2 copies. ZZZ: Miyabi and her weapon will drain me dry. Wuwa: Wanted to pull for the RAT, but controlled myself. Reverse: gonna be pulling for that Argus character soon because of PLOT. Uma: Pull when they announce Verxina otherwise...NO REASON to pull anything. GFL 2: Nothing going on - just chilling. HBR: Nothing worth pulling at the moment.
