"Does Grand summoner have power creep" Has the same energy of "is this a bird?"

[@tylerprime6741]

The blood knights went from #1 top tier can't be beat to like... #2 maybe #3. They are still completely usable and will still be able to handle basically everything, they'll just do it slower than the new human meta

[@leosanchez101]

They are there when the human team gets countered in events

[@tylerprime6741]

@@leosanchez101 exactly, whenever we start getting bosses that have "immune to humans" we take out our OP demons

[@alekhaalrem1408]

Human killer is like 70% out there anyway, i'd say its kinda balanced for demons and humans for now.

[@Saucy-hw5vt]

GS most definitely does not have a power creep problem. The blood knights have been out for like 4 years now and the game desperately needed a meta change

[@rogerflores422]

I actually like how the meta changes not only on normal teams but on nukes to best example with units like Gray from fairy tail, Simon, Hao and the most recent summer cestina. Having more options in nukes feels really good.

[@TerdSmasher303]

You know what also feels really good? over coming bosses that try and nuke you jajaja

[@alekhaalrem1408]

I agree partially, i like that the meta shift from sustain meta to nuke these days and then brutal powerhouse later which already has in JP, but the balance's getting worst for this phase, like there are many options but only one comp works, used to be like 1 key units on hard contents but now you need a fix team even a fix equip. Not to mention they shift to nuke meta banner after banner then released the un-nukeable boss with 5 part of treshold, or put the break mission on full reward so you couldn't nuke it anyway.

[@the_wudarian]

@@alekhaalrem1408 they want the game to havea few units that will clear content with items then drop there drop % to 0.0001 will giving every one else a 0.2% chance. its a money farm it has nothing to do with making a good game.

[@alekhaalrem1408]

@@the_wudarian From what i understand on what you said is, sure a game is to make money in the end but doesn't mean it have to be a bad game with bad balance, i'll gladly buy a good product but if the product just sucks people wont buy it and leave it. I wasnt talking about the rate or anything but how the game handled contents by locking contents behind certain units and yes it have everything to do to make a great game, i love grand summoners and wouldnt mind spending money for something that i love as long as they doing their job to keep it balanced.

[@vitamin-not-smart3564]

The game that had the worst power creep that actually destroyed the game and retroactively dismantle the games mechanics was Sao MD with (iirc) the second Anni units and everything after having auto perry. Perry being a skill the player needed to learn how to do to get far into Sao MD. It also made the game really fun cuz it was challenging at times but they ruined it with auto perry

[@iulius5971]

damn i remember the good old days of playing sao md, it was my first gacha game I ever played

[@Rick-hy6vh]

All these past years playing ffbe, has taught me one thing. If you pull a unit that can be use more than 6 months, then you already did the right thing.

[@HeavenlyDemon_Jugo]

What GS should do is Mega buffs on old characters, however you would need another evolution for the buff. Awoken Rags aint meta no more, but he can definitely carry you thru early stages. Another evolution and bam, he dealing DPS beyond your imagination. I think once GS decides the next evolution for units they should start with the old units first and also make these evolutions very unique in a sense.

[@KiyoshiRyuu88]

I would prefer to not go into the FFBE path of infinity awakenings to upgrade a unit. 5 stars on a unit is good in this game. The older units should either get reworked or stat changes. Also they should make a crystal exchange shop to spend free/paid crystals on materials such as lb stones and equip stones. Maybe exchange crystal for alch stones.

[@HeavenlyDemon_Jugo]

@@KiyoshiRyuu88I agree with the FFBE thing, that would be a nightmare. For the currencies of GS there needs to be a lot more ways to get alch, and for crystals I think something like where quests can have crystals as drops after the main rewards would be cool, though luck would not affect the drop rate

[@Bexploserpro]

Since on JP Tokyo revengers ended, it's time to guess which crossover comes next. I have my personnal crossovers which i would like to take place but, Yama-p gave the names of anime/manga he likes so it's highly possible that 1 of these 3 will be coming: *Jojo, My hero academia, Baki the grappler.*

[@nicdoesthings]

tbh would love if jojo came onto gs

[@elnosaequtsi5984]

Jojo in gs look fun

[@annmslgd3360]

Jojo would be pretty nice. It would be cool to have a new time stop unit who also hits like a truck

[@kings_4099]

Hey OP, really liked the longer and more detailed in-game news type of video. I hope you do more of this style in the future where you just talk about GS and what’s going on. Great content as always man keep it up 💯

[@chaostimmymaster6510]

In my opinion I think that the human meta on jp is whatever cause regardless the blood knights still have very strong grip to the meta even with the newly released units on jp that come to global the knights will still be used expect they just be slower and their damage very low

[@MrNox899]

Bro! Great video! But God damn that GS anime was going hard! Especially at the end!!

[@denislawson3197]

So close to 40k sub congrats dawg

[@palamicia1750]

Why y'all hate on sylph she's almost good as asirpa but not quite I have both and sometimes I even use both since they do different things mainly on there ta and one thing on there na and since the crossover will take forever to come back if it does then she's great as a fill in and tbh better because she can have more uses since the damage dealers are to much nowadays

[@leosanchez101]

I guess people don’t understand how useful the dr is on her TA especially for newer players when they tackle the harder content

[@frederik1q590]

People hates on Sylph even though her animations are 3 times faster than Asirpa lmao

[@Im_OP_Everyday]

because she is boring af

[@HamD7676]

We have to understand that this is a gacha game and the whole point is that they want you to summon and pull the new units in order to beat the new harder content and overall this is a business so yeah and gacha has power creep to some extent though they really hesitated to shift the meta until emperor

[@YoungBoiRJ]

Nice vid also as for the power creep awaken the 2 stars then we should be fine.

[@mikeoxmaul3526]

as for the bk's damage, you can make them deal wayyy more damage with units like summer juno and fitoria not to mention that in a comp with no humans you can use liza, which can allow you to spam equips such as true nemisis crow, true cantible, true vertag, negi, stratega, rishley's sunset bikini, true scintilla, gray's sword, true vipera, fight club goku uniform, rosetta pareo, true exceed zechs, bakuzan and goku koryu and many, many more which is the ultimate utility to get nearly any kind of buff or debuff on the boss. yall know I aint even gonna start on toguro, which can deal nearly as much damage as simon and saitama.

[@Julian-go1yd]

It is a weird question but can you make a tier list of the tier 5 units? as a new player i often wonder which units are worth to play and to upgrade... i know it would be much work but i would really like something like that

[@ibenvillanueva435]

i remember when having blood knights was like a status symbol

[@Clive-Rosfield1]

its sad but true, i used vox the other day cause he was on vacation, lets just say he took a 2nd vacation real quick, Hao got a promotion....

[@mw2zorzest]

I think Power Creep is much more relevant in games that feature PvP as one of the main gamemodes, since GSs PvP is basically completely irrelevant it's hardly a massive problem and I think GS deals with power creep somewhat okay, they touch up old crossover units whenever they re-run crossovers and when it comes to non-crossover units it often doesn't matter if they are powercrept since you can (so far) clear any content with even some older units as long as you purpose build teams to deal with said content, the only problem with power creep is that it makes some content trivial, but as long as they keep releasing harder and harder stages it will be fine, unless they start messing with base stats. Right now it's usually just the arts and TA that are getting power crept, but if they say made all units have even +300 defense, eventually the older units just wouldn't be able to survive a lot of the harder content. TL;DR I don't think power creep in GS is that big of a deal honestly due to the way the content is structured more like a puzzle rather than a dps check (for the most part)

[@wonderhealer9665]

yes and the power creep is one of the main reasons why i quit months ago, the fact that you have such a low chance to get the unit you want which are always limited mixed with how you could have the best unit in the game but then it's useless in endgame content because it requires specific units when i quit it was around when grad became awoken and his awoken quest was really difficult at the time, i think the team that people ran was sanstone, mako, dcelia and cestina now i ran dcelia but vox who was the strongest unit at the time (idk if he still is) was useless in that fight, my issue with grand summoners is not just power creep but you need multiple characters for different things and the moment you think you have the strongest team cos u got really lucky you suddenly don't because power creep there was also one other thing that i really hated about grand summoners which was how over time the newer units would basically grant a ton of arts gen on their skill, with the blood knights it was semi balanced because they were supposed to be really strong in general and they had to actually get their magia drive to get a ton of arts gen but i recently went back just to check on the game and every new units skill is just a stronger copy of the last units skill, there's no individuality in the game anymore like yes you can go for a nuke build or a mono team but that's kinda it, you can't do anything like a skill cooldown team to spam skills, no DoT teams nothing (okay i'm editing this one last time because everything wrote above this was from pure experience without watching the video, the stuff below this is me after watching the video and there's a few things that you forgot about which is very important) My biggest problem with the power creep wasn't that they released a unit that's stronger than the previous unit, my problem was how fast they would do this and how limited the characters were, it took me 3 years to get thetis because he was barely around to summon like 2 or 3 times a year and soon after i got thetis miranda came out, thetis was still strong but i had to wait so long to get a meta unit then soon after obtaining them another one was just released which was stronger but it doesn't end here, whenever they released a stronger unit they also made content harder, i think the only unit which has stood the test of time is mako, also once you hit endgame and had done all the content getting crystals was so much harder since there wasn't anything to grind making you pay to get good units also pity was bad one last thing again, the only way to fix power creep is making it more accessible to get the newer units, epic seven is a great example of this, rn people are upset at the game because the company is creating a problem then selling the solution but even with that the drop rate and availability for stronger characters are much easier to get, because of this the company still profits while it isn't completely miserable

The game Elsword has major power creep. I spent months grinding for the most powerful armor, only for them to have an event where they just GAVE it to you, upgrades and all, because they made a newer BETTER armor. So now the old one is obsolete so the gave it out like a salvation army donation.

[@akewid23]

my man rigo gear isnt obsolete lmao unless youre super geared with a +12 and a lot of erp will tene gear will give you an increase in damage since if you go tene gear youll lose adaptation for a while and polarize also rigo gear has been out for about the same time as elri they did they same thing when rigo just came out last point is they gave the armor +8 reforge 6 if thats upgraded and all youre high as hell homie youre gonna need at least r15 and +11 for rigo gear to be good

Unison league is just power creep city. Almost every day we got new spawns to use our gems on with even better and stronger gear. Draining us of our gems and our money. There was also a change to the mq which gives out all the *good* equipment that was considered staple gear basically for free. So yeah, power creep city.

[@T1_Kiki]

Welcome back OP :)

[@JustJeff123]

I personally like power creep it allows new players to join in the meta and with power creep done right aka giving like 6 months to a year allowing the unit to shine which also we have learned in 4 months you can reasonably always guarantee a unit by getting the 1.5k gems. Then since you are a veteran player you already have so many resources so once you pull that new unit you can instantly take them to max. It also just allows for new fresh content to be made with a new fresh unit to be used. You can't possibly tell me once you maxed out vox back in gap you'd want to use him for the next 5-10 years. I am about 10 minutes in the video now and agree all the old units are still good and usable so it's not like these units are not usable once you've invested in them. I think GS does power creep in one of the better gacha games.

[@kangaroo4646]

[@vinicius_nunes]

What can they do to make a unit really good without meta breaking? Units that are similar to the top-tier meta but for different types. Instead of something that is just there to break the whole meta, releasing a unit that could bring older units back to life would be a good way for the game to head into, and, that would also open up a lot of doors for a variety of releasing units. With this, they could also maintain the relevance of units for more time, while also bringing units that are just as powerful without being a direct counter to what it's good already. But, the reality is, that Power Creep is what maintains Gacha Games alive, and you could even break a lot of live service games as a whole with the same system. Unfortunately, that won't change, because the whole game is developed around this system. So, eventually what's good now, will get worse as time goes by, it's unavoidable.

[@alekhaalrem1408]

I think gs is one of the game that's good on managing the flow of the game, sure as long as the money keeps coming in ofc, can't help to think that they made it much tighter years after years, like erasing 5k alc banner and free platinum tickets but those kind of things is actually what made the game keep profitting and stays alive.

[@dai7v7]

The answer to powercreep is nerfing, example, league of legends on release had the most broken mechanics in the history of the game, and the meta was just unkillable monsters and then over a year or two everything was weakened to the point that the monsters on the jungle were hard to kill, and that gave the game so much life, so TLDR stop crying about nerfs nerfs are healthy

[@alekhaalrem1408]

Nerf kills gacha games, especially single player oriented games, people spend hundreds and thousands for specific units and nerfing that would cause chaos. So no, nerf is not always healthy it's the dev's job to balance the game, this is why instead of nerfing the units they released the harder contents along with the "powercreep" units for it.

[@dai7v7]

@@alekhaalrem1408 that's exactly the same problem as powercreep "Imagine spending hundreds of dollars on a unit only for it to be replaced for a better and stronger one who fills the same niche" the difference is when you open the gates to nerfs AND buffs you can keep the game more balanced and maybe (if the devs manage to do a good job) no unit is rendered unsusable due to powercreep of content

Grand summoners needs to rotten for good. It's basically a showing off from whales and that's it. Rate has dropped to 0% over the latest 2 years.
