Reason why dead lobby in FD it's because everyone queue in Asia instead of their intended region XD

[@TsuneAi]

yea for some reason everyone has Asia by default xd

[@jesusdeloera8802]

I find matches so fast in the Asian server.

[@noicev1ncecuh308]

Oh! That’s helpful I might find real players instead of bots 😂

[@blumoshi166]

Facts I’m like wth 🤦🏽‍♂️ might have to switch to Asia

[@endercode1164]

@@blumoshi166 The reason is because Asia server got the game 1 day early, which caused a chain reaction of people told other to go to Asia to queue.

[@jasonl.1959]

Really excited for VS's story overhaul, hope it's better than before. Also, redoing chapters means more rewards.

[@DragonGamer-ml4mq]

Great video Gamerturck I am happy be able to spamming this membership emote ? you too can be become a SAO survivor and use these great and amazing

[@Gamerturk]

Thank you Dragon

[@colinledoux7836]

I read the title of this video and nearly had a panic attack I thought SAOIF was actually going down but I'm glad it's still doing well.

[@Gamerturk]

"Well" is arguable, despite starting well, September really ended in a disaster tier low performance somehow. And it is the birthdays carrying early October. We'll see what happens next.

[@colinledoux7836]

@@Gamerturk November is gonna be the big one since a lot is planned for November.

[@Kirigahime]

10:09 Why does Klein have a Kirito player image for the bot? weird nitpick here lol xD. Thanks for the update Turk!

[@Gamerturk]

Thanks Kirigahime! Also, the false character thumbnails have been a problem since Closed Beta days.

[@dndkeg]

Considering your thoughts and feelings, will there be any sort of SAOIF video for the new floor?

[@Gamerturk]

I'll do it for sure, it's just that I am very much occupied these days with SAOFD.

[@dndkeg]

@@Gamerturk Fair enough

[@shido08]

Ngl At this point my mind telling SAOIF is nearly to it's end AND I HAVE NO SHAME TO SAY IT'S NOT DIED BUT GOT KILLED VERY BADLY BY THE DEVELOPERS THEMSELVES INTENTIONALLY.... it's not only my words but also my in game friends and our guild members says the exact same thing and u can actually realise it perfectly if u look into pt2 and after that what they did

[@AnimeHokageHD]

Thanks for the SAO gaming news! Its easier to find matches in the Asia region, within less than 2 minutes! Especially with making friend requests to help with the grinding of better equipment and items! Including the special memory gems required to unlock the past SAO memory replays (unfortunately no VA in them)! Also the battle pass, does it require you to play multiplayer all the time to clear the daily/weekly tasks? I am starting to find it a grind there overall...

[@Gamerturk]

The battle pass requires you to play the multiplayer, yes. And with about 10 days gone, it is about to get very grindy if you want to complete the pass in 3-4 days if you are not doing all the dailies. The good thing is, all the valuable things, the cosmetics, are in the early ranks of the pass, and the final 10 ranks or so only give out one golden drop per rank, which you can already get 1-2 of almost every other run. So completing the pass should not be a stressful goal. Those final ranks are just minimal bonuses.

[@Touma_S]

Haven't bought saofd yet waiting till i can afford it

[@kitramika5137]

the one annoying thing on saofd atm is that now at rank 45, i'm gonna have to slog out the boss raid missions on sbc trommel up to rank 85. i dread the boss raid weekly missions now lol

[@corneagalus201]

Don't worry the 85 boss raids are actually fun and Change everything day im currently rank 91

[@kitramika5137]

@@corneagalus201 i'm sure they are, but trommel stands in the way rn lol

[@markhettenbach3141]

Well FD had so much advertising I dont know how people could miss it. 😱😜

[@chalo3427]

I don't think it did, myself, xD in general I feel like the SAO games advertising overall has been pretty pretty bad xD but even despite that it did get a lot of players at launch so that is good! it's just that SAO in general is a niche series so mainly people who have seen the series/read the LNs will play them will really really enjoy them which of course you can say the same for something like the dragon ball game, but Dragon Ball is simply a more popular series, so obviously it will have more attraction

[@markhettenbach3141]

@@chalo3427 i remember hearing about it couple months ago, but then nothing, until like 2 weeks before and that was for the open beta. Game was totally in stealth mode.

[@TheKanjiX]

It really didn’t. I didn’t even know FD existed till the last open beta and I found that knowledge in my KZbin feed.

[@Appi_Secret]

Great video with some disagreements tho. IF has an update on the main story atleast every 3 months or more often with mini floors and Underground floors (while u said no story progress in 2 years) Ur totally right that September was a dead month. Looking forward to October as it seems to be packed with content

[@Gamerturk]

The problem is that Mini Floors do not even touch upon the actual main arc, they are side stories. As for the actual main arc stories themselves, we are getting stories, but the stories themselves are just buying time with the smallest increments of progression that amount to very little. Most players have grown detached from the story over a year ago.

[@XDogeGamingX]

The Underground stuff isn't part of the main story

[@chalo3427]

is there any information on how often they will be releasing new outfits in the store? Like once a month or maybe we get more when Strea releases?

[@Gamerturk]

We have no information at all at the moment. We dont even know if the outfit banners will expire and be replaced, or if we'll just get stuff added without anything getting removed.

[@chalo3427]

@@Gamerturk thanks!

[@thunderanime27]

I was wondering should I play Sao IF? I wanted to tryit but wasn't sure if it was good. Also is there any beginner guides I could look at for the game if decide to play it that you guys could recommend me

[@Gamerturk]

I mean, I can definitely always recommend Integral Factor, it's a great love letter to the series. And yes, there are many many beginners guides on KZbin if you look it up!

[@Pawonashi1]

*eating dinner before finally playing FD to continue the story and play some multiplayer matches as well* To enjoy upcoming new free content, players will have to be rank 90. *Spit out everything immediately* I've been playing everyday since I received my review code and I'm just rank 32... This game has some seriously crazy requirements, both for this DLC and especially for unlocking characters' passive skills, not mentioning the price. Either Bamco or Dimps seem to very strongly believe that players will dedicate a lot of time to this game. On one hand, in this case I can applaud the confidence, considering how surprisingly good this game turned out to be. But on the other, that's still a game based on an anime license, and one with a very... let's say "mixed" reputation at that. Let's really hope that word of the mouth will keep the playerbase healthy, so the game keeps being improved and eventually some of its content gets rebalanced.

[@eugeliceistruecanon1678]

Iirc, Fatal Bullet had same issue with leveling and some requirements(the bond grind UGH), but it was reworked at some point to make it easier(you either get an item, or it was added as a possible toggle-able option in menu). So there is hope!

[@yorefakuryuu2]

SAOFD Crossplay with steam and ps player ?

[@frenzy82]

@@nunobirb ye I posted this at the beginning of the video thank you none the less

[@samjeffy03]

Asia servers had a much higher playerbase at launch, likely due to Japan having a more engaged population to the SAO franchise, which seems to have resulted in people from other servers going over to Asia servers for those busier lobbies, thus also then leaving their own regions lobbies emptier

[@samjeffy03]

​@@frenzy82ah my bad, seems you understand now regardless 👍 when I started writing my response the replies hadn't come through yet

Empty lobbies is fine. Im just tired of having to wait. Game tells us it will fill slots with bots yet takes forever to do so. Like bro what?

[@kotaindah2]

Bandai still had fix much in their company management. Even though SAO FD it sucess but the other still failed. They must prepare another game with different concept and franchise. They can't rely just to SAO franchise but the other must be get new inovation.

Instead of SAO I did Dark Sols. And I feel fine 😂😅🙃☠️

too much grind player rank for sao fd I got burn out i'm rank 56

[@Gamerturk]

Understandable tbh. Part of my criticism, although I definitely feel the grind could remain the same, but feel less repetitive with some easy changes to the activity structure.
