Massive Patch Notes - Second Half 2022 Roadmap Revealed! [Epic Seven Balance Patch Notes]

[@rex.raymond]

10:00 they mentioned the 3v3 casual RTA but the pictures they showed were for the RTA replay feature. Which means you can watch the matches to know on what turn you or the opponent screwed up

[@DamParr0]

What I would have loved to see is what Artery Gear Fusion does. You can set up your hunt, select offline farming and run 30x and just close the app. Wish that would actually be the next step because it would actually make me want to farm more rather than burning my phone out.

[@metaknight3335]

Same this is my most wanted feature

[@francoxs10]

and then leave the game offline hunting for a month

[@raze2012_]

Yup, its part of why I decided to play AG more. To make it even better, Seven Mortal Sins has the best of both worlds: it has the "multitask auto" that E7 is getting, but it's also just an offline battle. So you have a choice to either do other stuff in game or turn the game off

[@DrSquirrel]

I think this is the main thing for me as well. Most people graduate to just farming on bluestacks because not only is farming on a phone a huge waste of battery, it's also rather destructive. My phone always got really hot, and my old S8 actually has the autorepeat interface BURNED INTO THE SCREEN permanently. Just make an achievement for doing hunts 1000 times or something, and let people do it in the background if they hit that milestone. Make it take 10 minutes per run in the background for all I care, to incentivize people to still do it manually for efficiency.

[@DamParr0]

@@benjamindover4337 are you speaking from experience because I haven't quit the game so thats not my experience. Maybe you should just leave and not come back here if thats how you feel. You wouldn't be missed.

[@emilyc642]

Yes! I’d love a video on the selector. I have ideas of what I want but trying to decide which one is best is rough. Maybe an updated lightning review?

[@willektron6640]

I'm a couple days delayed on commenting, but one thing I'll point out about the Grace of Growth feature is that you seemed to say in passing that the hero couldn't be used for PVP, but what it says there is that you can't put the hero on PVP defense teams; you can use them all you want in PVP offense (including RTA).

[@HeavensOfMetal]

13:48 Squirrel, I love you man but this & everything else you were confused about are all clearly written down. I know the notes are boring but if you only read half the words they’re going to make no sense, haha.

[@DrSquirrel]

[@AdrianBigyes]

[@raze2012_]

I don't think the game needs to "reset" gear. They just make it easier to hit the gear celing. I played 3 years and I still can't get 20 SPD, even tho the ceiling is what, 28 SPD? Just make it easier to roll better gear so someone who wants to cleave can do it in 6 months, instead of the current 2+ years of dedicated wyvern. There's a dozen ways to do this but I think the easiest one is "86 gear". basically, 85 gear but with no low rolls, probably obtained from introducing new hunts. So roll ranges are 6-8 ATK/DEF/HP instead of 4-8, SPD rolls are 3-4, crit is 4-5, crit damage is 6-7. same celling as 85 gear, so there's no powercreep from whales with perfect gear already, but easier to roll that 70GS. Still not easy because you need rolls to not go all into ER, and penta rolls are still a myth. But easier.

[@HeavensOfMetal]

Speed ceiling is technically 34, 5 is max speed but it’s a very low % chance & so getting a starting roll of 5 & five subsequent 5 rolls is near impossible - then you’ll get 4 from the reforge (yes, a 5-roll into speed is only a 4 on reforge, at the mark of the 4th speed roll). I actually like your idea of “86 gear”, maybe it’s more expensive to craft or something & it can be reforged like 85 gear. Though pouring one out for you brother/sister with the 20 speed. I’ve got 21/22 on some of my pieces but rings are hard stuck 17 & I have one 19 helmet (others are 17) but it’s a free health set & is impossible to use anywhere since I’d need to change something else to speed & end up dropping more than 2 speed overall. Hasn’t ever been worth it to use so far, which is a bummer. It’s funny my girlfriends newer account, I think it’s like a year old, has a 23 speed piece & multiple +20 pieces too, she could probably beat me in max speed & I’ve been playing for three & a half years, haha.

[@DrSquirrel]

I actually would be fully on board with that idea. Keep the gear ceiling the same, allow new players to catch up by getting rid of these god forsaken low rolls. I'm sick of gear being ruined because it max rolls the first 2 rolls then I get 3 1 speed rolls in a row. The range on rolls is absurd at this point. I have a friend who has a faster chest and helm then me after 3 years of almost nonstop grinding (21 max on both for me) in just a few weeks of playing because he got lucky. I find that ridiculous.

[@DrSquirrel]

Also for the record I wasn't advocating resetting gear. I was just noting that other games don't have the issue of new players being impossibly behind due to that mechanic.

[@raze2012_]

@@DrSquirrel yeah, I got what you meant. I played some other mobile games and they did just eventually introduce an entirely new tier of gear to grind. It doesn't make current gear useless, but you're essentially restarting your grind compared to a new player who can be grinding that new gear in a few weeks of play. And yea, the ranges in this game are insane. Your friend example really shows that it's not necessarily a product of investment so much as luck. Luck can be mitigated, but given the odds at work, it's absurd.

[@Phoenixguyver]

The growth thing is great. You can instantly max a new hero to test if you want to use the resources on upgrading them.

[@connormccleary7207]

I kind of love the long term commitment needed for this game. It shows the work I put into it.

[@jamesbrandon7654]

13:57 "Why would clicking reforge move it to storage?" *Proceeds to hover cursor over the storage icon for two seconds* 😂

[@kingjerald6606]

Background battle to me is a completely game-changing improvement because like you I'm used to playing e7 on bluestacks but that's the problem for me because I spend most my day on my phone in between classes and playing on the phone is so mind-numbingly boring I find myself not playing e7 at all on packed Uni days this improvement allows me to do the fun stuff while doing the boring stuff so I can see myself playing a shit ton more e7 and actually completing the dailies that I normally skip when I don't get on my pc for a day but if you spend more time at your pc than me I can see how this update doesn't seem like that much

[@mchlup]

As some who has played for 9 months now, I completely agree with you about the gear system. There is no "true pity" system for gear. Those extra gear rolls we get always turn to trash. I can't roll a +15 speed piece of gear to save my life. I think at this point my guild mates are laughing at me (all jokes aside). As someone mentioned below, they should lower the variance in the rolls. Or maybe allow us to farm level 88 gear on a regular basis by converting hunt mats directly into pieces of gear with the sub-stats we choose, kind of like the Forge event but we pick the sub-stats and then roll it. Limit it to 2 pieces a month.

[@RevilloPhoenix]

Background battling, well, it could still be an improovement to you too. Now you can run hunts while playing RTA all day long for content. (or while you craft and upgrade gear)

[@Bruhmoment-ko2zf]

I think the 3v3 had some kind of gimmic where you couldn't use the same unit every match? I think that is how it was supposed to be at least if not why not just stick to GvG?. If that is the case it would be fun to "watch" since you'd need to build more units if the rewards are good.

[@spin.chicken]

Honestly, just make it easier to get better gear that has limited uses per day/week/whatever. This ends up helping old players improve their current units, or other units that they haven't bothered to build yet, as well as helping newer players catch up much more quickly.

[@xXMasterJ360Xx]

Never was a fan oneshot W13 b/c its more of a 50/50 chance of succeeding and the build requirements are pretty high But this skip feature is the best idea to shun away from that especially if you have a team that can win 100% of the time

[@GodwynDi]

W13 one shot is 85%. Straze one shots are 100%.

[@theroguenob]

A reset would piss me off, and I'm no whale, with now almost 4 years of grinding i wouldn't want to restart

[@shoot2laugh]

World of Warcraft being only 10 years old 😂😂😂😂😂 that made my day

[@Megamanbrasileiro]

As a new F2P, you have almost no stamina to progress V.S. years of farming. Stamina gate makes zero sense to new players.

[@ditokelio7860]

Hardest part about doing hunt 13 at the start is getting 4 lvl 60 units

[@hondsdollekat]

a free and easy W13 team usually only needs a 6* tank and 6* dps

[@ditokelio7860]

@@hondsdollekat you only really need a 6* tank at w13, getting to w13 with only a 6* tank is hard though. Unless you want to sit there for hours praying on the rng of the boss not hitting backline.

[@reanimat25]

I don't know about the reset button for gear, Exos Heroes kinda did it and people were so pissed, the game died in a matter of weeks. NGL, with the time and effort I put into my account if it happened to E7 i'd just quit and probably never touch a gacha ever again.

[@joeltrotz7191]

yeah sure why not do a what should you pick

[@MyrdinAnnoth]

I dont think "reset" in the way a MMO does would work. Instead what they need to do is make crafting less of a Loot Box (coz thats what it is rn) and more like you know... actual crafting. The current crafting is completely random. It needs to go. You should always have the option to select your set type and main stat (basically what Alchemist Steeple does, but without those stupid stones needed). That by itself would make the process miles better, while still keeping the RNG they love so much since regardless of how the piece starts you still need to roll the LVL ups. Just a slight change like this would benefit everyone. Not even whales have all the heroes geared, and we are getting more heroes out at quite the high rate. Another update would be get rid of charms entirely. Its arbitrary stop gap thats forcing yoru progression to a halt. You can have the mats, you can have the gold and luck, but you cant do anything if you dont have the charms. Just get rid of the charms and use Gold and Stigma for lvling up gear. Plenty of other games use such system and it works. If we wanted to be real fancy they could implement some course correction on gear > once per gear piece lvling lock one stat you dont want to roll into for example, or allow gear set change. So for example if you have that one weird Unity set piece with great subs and good rolls that be amazing if it was on lets say Speed or Lifesteal you could do that. That would be greatly appreciated. Also removing the lowest roll (Speed 1, Eff 4 etc) from the table would be much appreciated since those rolls can pretty much dumpster your gear. TLDR: Easen up on the absolutely atrocious gearing experience this game has to offer, coz for all its pros thats the one single biggest con which is keeping the game from going where its now to becoming something a lot better and reaching more people (and more spenders).

[@bernardtiengo3307]

About gear upgrade, there’s something amazing I found while playing Dyslite. They had fixed rolls, if u got a speed roll, it would be always 4, it it was hp, it would be 8%. With this system, ur chances to brick a good piece of gear from the start would be eliminated and we would gear our units easily, thus the sense of progression would also help to keep players engaged and playing the game

[@princesharming8693]

I wish if they decrease the price of epic catalys

[@xFlow777]

I feel like the true pitty system for gear is craft event, honestly most of the amazing gear I have came from that. But that event is way too far between.

[@BurriedTruth]

Me that have been farming injury piece for Alencia from Caides for past 4 months and literally only got 2 pieces that has 1 or 2 rolls into hp% lmao. I would agree with you, but add salt to injury, i even used Artena event piece on injury boots and it rolled 62 gs…. POST reforge lmao. 4 months farming not a single bruiser piece over 62 gs lmao.

[@dariusnoelwilliams4084]

It really irritates me that these companies get praise by the players for implementing QOL that should have been in the game from the start. Bringing out background auto battling super late to the point where the version you release is already outdated. They need to stop drip feeding the QOL and just give us the good stuff. That would make players enjoy playing more.

[@d2boysg]

just make the rng less rng on gears and let us focus on the gameplay instead.
