I "Beat" Wuthering Waves: Here is My Review of 1.0

Wuthering Waves 1.0 has been a blast to play, and I've loved it. However I wanted to give my honest review of the game and some of the issues which are holding it back from being "great". I would recommend people play it, but I don't want to ignore some of the issues that need to be fixed.

Like someone in twitch chat said: There should be a way to convert blue and purple tuners to gold. They become redundant RIDICULOUSLY quick. I don't think I even used them at all because I started getting 5 stars so quick. Edit: I just saw the update notes and boi… oh boi… boi, did they listen and go above and beyond. The devs are so much better than genshin devs it’s actually crazy 💀

[@AnonWalrus]

I agree with this. I've GOT SOO MUCH BLUE AND PURPLES.

[@dongarippo7279]

@@AnonWalrus Yeah, while purples are still good for off-teams or such as in teams you don't wanna overly invest in, the blue ones are utterly crap after a while in. Just it takes quite some time before one build teams that way too due to.. waveplates but eventually. I'm getting burned out on games with waveplates/resin and this game, while it was more generous than genshin we are now at the point where it's pretty samey. Also I'm getting burned out on these games. I just want new characters but I'm not willing or even capable of paying 200 euros for every character. Yeah no bonuses or 100% winning. It could even be more expensive if one fails every 50/50.

[@donrueben92]

I'm a mobile player and it's nice to finally hear someone talk the performance issues of this game on this platform. I'm using the same phone in playing Genshin for three years, but the gameplay is not as smooth when I play WuWa. I tried all sensitivity combinations available, but I still get annoyed of my characters' movement. What I hate the most is when I'm engaged in combat or there are enemies in front of me, my Heron and Rider echoes would fly away and ride away instead of using their combat skills. The dodging and parrying were also sometimes frustrating because even though you anticipate the attack of enemies, I always feel like the registration of my input is delayed. My ping is fine, so I share the same sentiment in this video. But even with these issues, I still enjoy playing the game. I was grinding so hard on the first two weeks, but now I realized how my pacing should be like and that's what Mr. Tash said here.

I've said this alot on reddit. Alot people FOMO'd and burnt all of their resources trying to clear end game as soon as possible. When they figured out they didnt have enough resources at UL35, people complained. Its almost as though people forgot what a gacha game was and its a marathon, not a sprint. Especially, the fact that you can do up to Holo difficultly 5 without whaling in the game. We need a console release asap though.

As a Genshin day 1 player, exploration never got boring to me. Not in Genshin, neither in WuWa.

I'm not a whale, I only have the monthly pass. Far from godly rolls on echoes either.

In genshin the exploration wasn't boring just very slow I liked the variety but traversing after you got all the chests was so painful for my dopamine deficient brain When sumeru came around I gave up after doing Aranara quest then I unlocked Fontaine and I liked exploring again and then I got bored and quit the game Its got a lot of variety but after I played Wuwa I don't think I'll ever enjoy genshins exploration again Even Breath of the wild has systems to make it more fun and interesting Genshins world copies a lot from it but none of the good aspects I think azure Promilia will deliver more on a replayable open world for me personally wuwa does that too

[@ninjabladexaero]

@@Qdawwg i was there too lol

[@Money.D.Sensei-Boy]

This is the best take I’ve ever seen. Here’s basically my experience with Wuthering Waves. My biggest concerns with Wuthering Waves is because the four-star weapons are very limited with what’s good. If your F2P and have horrible luck on Gacha, you are essentially gonna get screwed over. Especially in the later stages. Like I used a four star weapon on my Jiyan. The difference between the four star weapon and when I got his signature weeks later, is like night and day it’s very shocking in a good way cause you feel good that you got the weapon and it’s so much better. But when you step back and really take a look. It’s also very worrying at the same time. Because especially for the tougher bosses, you will struggle with it for quite a while. Yes a large part of it is skills, knowing the combos dodging all that stuff which is fine. But as a mobile player who can’t afford a PC due to how expensive parts are. It’s not easy, it’s like every time I dodge my character doesn’t or its delayed and the bosses are able to hit me and sometimes I time it perfectly but get hit with the second attack from the combo because of Latency. but When you combine the issues with Latency in combination with the horrible camera controls on mobile and how even with lock on it's not always perfect. It’s extremely Frustrating. Echo exp is also a big thing as well because even if you have the skills. If your echos aren’t good and levelled up. you do notice the difference in power. Overall, I’d probably give the game a 6. It has the bare bone structure to be good and I will stick with Wuthering Waves. But especially for me because I’m on mobile there’s still so many issues. It’s not fun to play especially every day. Especially as I get closer to 40. I think I’m only 3000 experience away. If I do my dailies today and a few bosses, I’ll level up. But I don’t wanna do it Because I don’t feel I’m ready. I’m still trying to get used to the combat. But to my credit, The fact I’m almost union level 40 I think speaks volumes to what I’ve already been able to achieve, especially because combat systems like wuthering Waves tend not to be my favourite when it comes to mobile. So the fact that Wuthering Waves did it in a way where I find it entertaining I think it’s a good thing. But I do worry for the games future because it’s had such a rocky Start that if 1.1 doesn’t nail it home. They’re going to lose a lot of players and mobile players especially because if they don’t receive the optimizations they need to play the game. Wuthering Waves effectively could lose a huge part of their player base. This game was clearly designed with PC in mind not really with mobile and it shows with the performance/optimization issues.

[@nairu3153]

My biggest gripe is that, despite everything, the gameplay loop is the exact same as in Genshin. Log in, do dailies, spend waveplates and log out. Endgame is also just Tower/Abyss since it's the only mode that resets, Holograms and Illusive Realm are a one-time thing. Content might reward skill more, but is a damage check nonetheless. Sure, the echo farm is less miserable because you can farm them without the need of stamina. However, it doesn't matter if I have 1 or 50 echoes with the correct mainstat sitting in my inventory if I can only upgrade half of one per day. I know this is a Gacha game and how they work but I still expected a bit more replayability and challenging endgame content. The amazing combat can only keep me engaged for so long.

[@I_Love_Plump_Grandmas]

Getting the correct echoes with the correct mainstat as well as substats is quite easy in WuWa. I am currently rebuilding my Tartaglia from HoD set to Nymph's Dream set. I am still missing an atk% time piece and crD circlet with good substats and I've been doing this domain for almost 3 months now. Mind you, WuWa needs 5 piece to activate the entire set effect while Genshin only needs 4 pc. Yeah, almost 3 months of running the Nymph's Dream Domain and I only got 2 decent(not the best) pieces. I prefer the infinite echo farming system in Wuwa than the limited artifact farming in Genshin.

[@Jstanillusion]

@@I_Love_Plump_Grandmas It was one of the reason i quit genshin when 4.7 launched. i farmed for Navia's set since her release . 4.6 passed and my Navia is still rocking 52 crit rate. To build a new character, it takes months to build. But there is something i would also like to say is , the characters that i built within three days or four because of pre-farming have bored me the most. Like i will pull for the character, build it within a week and then bench it the next day. Feeling same in WUWA tbh. Like my yinlin, calcharo are built real good within days. My yinlin is rocking 70 percent crit. Her echoes are good. And i have already( not completely) stopped playing her( Like focussing on other characters that i haven't built). Many of my characters are decently built such as calcharo , rover, jianxin , mortefi .SO i dont know what route the devs should take to keep the players engaged. I still think if the devs become very generous, burnt out phase is going to come sooner than expected unless they keep adding new good combat bosses every patch.

[@I_Love_Plump_Grandmas]

@@Jstanillusion For me, my target is clearing the tower of adversity for more astrites and challenging myself with the hologram bosses. My Calcharo, Jiyan, Mortefi, and Verina are well built now but I've never stopped playing them. I really can't build more units right now due to the lack of waveplates to farm for their ascension materials. I just got Yinlin and her weapon, I'm currently hunting for her gold echoes. One of the many things alot veteran Genshin players didn't like about genshin is the lack of a combat-based end game content. Thankfully, Wuwa has this type of end game through tactical hologram. Based on my observation, it really didn't matter if there was combat-based endgame content in WuWa coz a lot of genshin players just dismiss it. Genshin players only care about the combat-based end game when it didsn't exist but when it exists, they will just ignorr it and find more things to complain about. I now understand why Mihoyoverse originally made a statement that they're no longer planning to add more end game contents similar to the spiral abyss coz it triggers anxiety and burnout among players. I see Mihoyoverse's reasoning now through Wuwa. Perhaps some players are not built for hardcore gaming. Personally, I'm enjoying the grind in WuWa, I am an MMO player and the grind in WuWa is nothing in comparison to the MMO games I've played.

[@rizenastray1283]

You can try out the holograma the bosses gett very hard and can one shot you no matter whar type of gear you have.

[@Jstanillusion]

@@I_Love_Plump_Grandmas so true! I too have seen GI players completely dismiss the combat related hard boss fights. They compare hologram bosses with their overworld boss lol! Since this is a skill based game,my aim in playing this game is to get so skilled that I can fight every available boss without being hit a single time and no retries accepted. No revival food accepted .So I practice my skills every single day. That is my mentality in these types of games ( skill based). Had a similar mentality in sekiro. People forget that this is also a skill based game and not just a dps check. In future there will be new hard bosses for sure. They can keep sharpening their skills. Some might say they have already beaten the hologram bosses and their is nothing to do. But how many retries did it take to beat the boss? Can they do it in a single try?

[@FarisGC]

The biggest issue for me is the performance. I get a ton of stuttering, especially in the open world, it's really not optimized well. I tried a ton of things to fix it, I ran on the lowest settings, I disabled DLSS, I added some entries to the engine.ini file, and nothing helps the stuttering. I really hope they fix the performance because Genshin, HSR, and ZZZ all run flawlessly on my machine, and if this experience continues for me, I don't know if I'll keep playing the game long term.

As far as the performance issues between WuWa and Ganshin are concerned it's game engine related, WuWA uses UE4 (which isn't optimized for mobile) while Genshin uses Unity (nearly EVERY mobile game is made in Unity and Unity is HEAVILY optimized for mobile).

But at the same time, plenty of people have problems with Wuwa even on PC. While Genshin runs excellently on both Pc, and Mobile.

[@kreide6819]

Yes UE4 plays a big role in the optimization issue but unlike genshin where it's not their 1st time using that engine with lots of RnD, unity isn't even unity for them anymore, its like a new engine. Wuwa on other hand, its their first time using UE4, they don't have the time/resources yet to fully optimize the game. So I'll give them time to improve it more because they've done it already with pgr.

The thing with this type of mode is, aside from the rewards, it is used to promote the current limited banner characters. For example, HSR does that too with their MoC. As someone has said, it would not look good to have different elemental buffs when the current limited characters are aero and electro.

I've been really enjoying the game in the past 2-3 weeks , especially the combat , it feels so fun and engaging when you have to pay attention not just to your skill/liberation cooldowns , but alao the concerto /forte of you characters, while also being careful of enemies attacks , and wait for the parry chance ... I'd personally give the game 8.5/10 , would be 10/10 if it wasn't for some bugs (i personally haven't encountered many , but i know some people did) , and i hope the Devs keep working on the game and making it even better

[@myst7042]

Fair review, i agree with a lot of your points. I think it's obvious that this game is not ready to release. A lot of bugs that we see are result of rushed rewrite after the latest beta test, too much info dumping, localization issues, low quality VA directing, and more importantly performance issues. I think one more beta and then release on late Q4 2024 would be perfect. But i'm not part of dev team, i don't know their budget situation. This game have been on development for 2 years i think. Probably they only have 2-3 months left on their budget before they have to cash in. And cash in they did, i heard they already bagged 100Mil and more to come. They took a huge risk releasing a half baked game, this could have been dead on arrival. Now that they got their budget back, i hope they improve greatly from here.

combat is client side so technically there 0 lag, if u dodge something and u got hit that means you did it too late or too soon unless theres some weird bugs if u do multiple things at once, so yeah its actually skill issue if u die in this game unless theres a very low chance to be a weird bug or not enough dmg to finish the fight in time

[@zackang4731]

Just to point out.. Combat SHOULD be client side. But technically we won't know unless we see the code or we do some specific and difficult to control experiments to test it As someone who worked in quality assurance, I can confidently say that there will always be devs who don't design stuff properly, and testers/QAs who didn't spot such poor design problems because they tested in ideal conditions, or won't recognise the problem for what it is.

Yes! And I love how we have to fill concerto energy and energy for the liberation. Cause that encourages us to use every single character and not go the genshin way of popping skill ult then switch.

The most complicated characters for forte are Calcharo and Sanhua and Aalto Taoqi is simple just parry while holding attack with skill up or wait for skill to expire and you can use her forte Its the slowest of all characters My favourite is Chixia because gun

[@Stormtide]

yeah its a lot like honkai 3rd tbh and that was my favourite mihoyo game. huge fan of the fact that wuthering waves has something somewhat similar, it makes characters so much more interesting to play than just popping a few abilities for each character (plus every character having elemental basic attacks makes it even better).

[@Steve-tk6xv]

I cant believe people are complaining about echoes for running out of experience or tuners. It is so much worse in genshin and I dont remember seeing a single creator complain about the artifact system in genshin. Sure lets stop free farming for echoes and require waveplates to be the only method of getting a new Gold echo. Lets stop the ability to obtain echo xp and tuners in NPC shops, in the main shop with points, in the overworld. Lets make it like genshin where you have to run the same artifact route and only inspect 99 investigation points then go to inazuma where you can get 22-23 more investigation points. Im so glad he pointed out how long it took him long it took him to get a 5 star artifact in genshin. People need to pay attention to this. This is NOT a problem. Get your artifacts ready put your complete sets on every character at level 0 and then just slowly build them like in any other gacha game. It has only been one month into the game and people are expecting to have on set god pieces for all of their characters.

[@r.d.6290]

Early game in WuWa brings much more sense of power than the early game in Genshin. I already got somewhat good and leveled echoes on most my dps and support units, in genshin at AR45 I had to rely only on Zhongli shield and Keqing hyperbloom. Before those two it was a different game - every hillichurl pack was tough to beat and combat didn't feel smooth at all. All those crazy energy regen requirements needed to even play f2p units were unreachable. Never touched artifact grind until much later.

[@Jammy1up]

I mean I complained pretty heavily about the artifact experience in genshin. Finding your main stat echo is a MUCH better experience in ww. However leveling up and tuning those echoes is unironically worse than leveling artifacts in genshin. similar frustration, different problem. It's like being given a Ferrari with a Honda civic engine

[@cringingyukino3282]

Echo experience and tuners take way too long to farm. You get 10 gold tuners for 60 waveplates, so at most you get to see 4 substats in a single echo a day, which runs through layers of rng depending on the echo cost. That's an absurdly low amount. Sure there are shops but that'll only last for a while before you start using waveplates. I sure agree that genshin is way worse, you could take months just to have a single good piece. Although Wuwa does have a lot of substats, it certainly isn't as bad as genshin. But if the echo tuning doesn't get a buff then I could see both of them being just as bad.

[@Steve-tk6xv]

@@cringingyukino3282 In genshin if you ran the most efficient artifact route you would get to level one 5 star artifact every 3 days. So being able to pretty much unlock one echo to level 20 per day seems pretty good to me. Again game has been out for 1 month and people are expecting full sets with correct stats and god tier rollls on all of their characters. Mtashed literally just described how it took 1 month to get ONE good artifact. but in this game if you spend waveplates you can have 30 decent on set correct main stat echoes by the end of the month. But sure I guess maybe they should make it so we can level 5 per day or 10 per day. Maybe they can just make it so we can all complete the game in 24 hours and not bother with any updates or anything. We all just beat it. No sweat. Game done lets move on to the next thing.

[@niyazrowshan]

I see what you mean but there are ppl out there who are grinders because of the echo system (like myself). Spending 10 tuners for one substat and refunding to get 3 is quite bad. Tacet fields cost 60 but it doesn't give enough XP, you can't just expect us to just not grind echoes. Of course ppl will complain because they run out of xp and so fast, I myself find tuners more of a problem than echo xp due to the fact that going from 20 to 25 is same as going from 0 to 20, I've seen too many +25 echoes. That's where some of the echo xp complains come from but most are from tacet fields, there's no salvage option (I don't think there would be one) you get like 2-3 gold (5k xp) 7-8 purple (2k xp) and 15 tuners at UL 40. That's 1.5 substats, u can only do 4 runs per day which is 6 substats, which is quite bad. It should be way more than that and tuner cost should be 5 instead imo so 5 cost 3 refund. I've farmed so many good echoes but can't roll them because I have little to no tuners. A lot of us don't play casually so that's why we're complaining about it all whereas genshin was mainly focused on casuals because you log in like 20m a day there but here it's less time on dailies (like 5-10m) then we start farming echoes and try to push endgame, they'll make good changes and then add harder content. Right now I see people clearing Tower of Adversity F2P 15-18 stars, ppl really wanna beat Tower and Holograms and try other teams because the 4 stars are really good. Most of us just wanna progress faster and not have to keep hitting a wall constantly ending up with these complaints.

[@mesdeep_official]

I think the reason why 4 star weapons has a big gap to 5 stars weapon is because they really want to force you into pulling for weapons, since weapon banners are 100% guaranteed and there is no 50/50, they need to make a way to still make more money off of it.

[@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix]

100% guaranteed promotional banner is tricky. Most 4* weapons are pretty bad on purpose. Kuro is aiming on players spending money to get a relatively easy to pull Gatcha 5* weapon to compensate for poor F2P weapon options . There’s no many ways for F2P to get free promotional weapon banner pulls. For most , there will be only the 6 store monthly . Which means about one free promotional 5* weapon per year . Or sacrifice astrites that usually would be used to get5* characters.

[@Adan.2005]

​​@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ixthe thing is, in this game having a lot of characters at a certain point won't be beneficial anymore so, getting a character and their weapon might be the way to go in this game even if you end up having less character, and you still have the standard 5* weapons which are actually pretty good and you'll get for free, pulling in the standard banner for characters is stupid anyways if what you care about is spending your resources optimally.

[@drantino]

one thing ive noticed when it comes with parrying windows is that its hitbox accurate with vary fast moving enemys as the same hitbox as the damage would land. the main issue why it can feel vary bad is there isnt any priority over parry or not parry in such a small window that ping can effect if it is part of it. some games create extra hitbox with all the attacks as a extra window to solve this, this is actually the case in breath of the wilds flurry rush system, holy hell is that flurry rush hitbox huge. well others give priority. so one thing that ive found out about illusive realm is when trying to get the have the final upgrade for the turtle echo, glacio is actually the lowest count of metaphors in the game mode at 39. ive had 5 fully completed max difficulty runs of literally unable to get 32 glacio because enough didnt show up, hell 3 of those runs the final shop didnt even have a single glacio metaphor left.

I think you had valid and relatable points and experiences from the game, but something that came to my mind as you were talking about the end game content and comparing to HSR and Genshin. Something that would have been interesting to look at would have been where each of these gacha games stood with end game content options at their launch 1.0 versions. as well as HSR has done with theirs, it's also futher ahead with its patches, so comparing their end game content for a game which is still at 1.0 isin't neccesary fair yet. We can definetly point out things what we hope them to do, which you did bring up as well.

[@deanh8438]

Great takes 👏

[@Ohhsoodead]

issue with your take is you expect there to be an infinite amount of echo xp because there's an infinite amount of echo availability. The availability of echo's does not justify an equal amount of echo exp that should be attainable. In HSR for e.g. you can get around 12 relics per day on average which is like 36 blue xp things, this "issue" people keep talking about is not an issue, it's just you running out of xp because you actually have gear to upgrade as opposed to not having the gear at all.

Echoe system is way better but the fodder in genshin are more accesible.

We're not even close to the endgame yet, and none of the endgame modes have been released yet, we only have tower of adversity, and illusive realm is still incomplete. Stop expecting to have maxed out characters when we're still early to mid game. It's like going into HSR and expecting to have all your characters built with 4-5 star relics, all maxed out when ur trailblaze level 30-40. Chill, please. That being said, I'm not saying the game doesn't have issues, but most of what everyone is complaining about will be fixed once the game gets more updates, and Kuro is big on endgame.

[@markistador5491]

We have no information on any future updates providing endgame. As it stands its the same (actually worse now) than genshin with endgame content. This is kuro's attempt to appeal to a wider audience in the same exact was hoyo did with genshin, so if they take that approach we can't have high expectations for more endgame in the future. This is a different approach than pgr, and hence whatever endgame that game got doesn't mean it'll be added to this game. It is the games fault, not the player's fault, for pacing the game so badly that people feel this bad about the stamina system. It is their fault we can get 5*s echos and not have much to level them. The player shouldn't be punished for playing more, at most the gacha model should hault your progress, not make you feel bad for it. People didn't complain about not being able to build early in HSR because you didn't have the opportunity to, which feels way better than having the opportunity to but not having the resources to capitalize on it.

talk to em

[@mordogonofastora3421]

​@@markistador5491O've read there's some.other mode, similar to a PGR one, where you fight hordes of enemies. I believe there'll be more endgame honestly

[@valk5041]

This is probably the most objective review of the game on KZbin. Well done

[@Phillipmurr]

Yeah it’s unfortunate how many weathering waves content creators are shilling hard-core for the game. And they can’t seem to keep a certain other game out their mouth either. Like don’t throw stones when your house is made a glass. I’m waiting for the P5 release so I hope they’ve got this sorted out by then. If not the First descendants dropping so I might look at that. or Zendless zone zero which is getting a console release with PC.

[@locutos8397]

THANK you for this video! Missing only the (STILL) locked keybinds issue, you covered all the points that I have issues with the game. Something is REALLY wrong with the dodge/parry system, this game should only be released with it working 100% perfect.

[@juniisenpai3777]

Mtashed and Burnout is married to each other. Happy honeymoon phase kekw

[@reedsad4652]

Its the same for every gacha game tho,

[@skeethh]

Yeah I like tashed man but I foresee a burnout coming very soon😂

[@susbedo9258]

​@@skeethh he already complained of burnout in one of the streams where he review/discussWuwa with another 3 CC.

[@skeethh]

@@susbedo9258 if that’s actually true then I’m not surprised at all lol

[@GhostlyGenshinGuides]

I quit the game after two weeks. Just couldn't get into it, had way too many issues at launch that killed the excitement, and just didn't feel any excitement to explore the world. Happy people enjoy it

[@chonkyboi._.]

you should revisit it after they fix the game, cos imo this game, without too many issues, is the best in this genre right now

[@husseinhassan1055]

Fell sad for you😢

haven't watches this yet. but i can already say that THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING.

[@ahamilaag192]

This is why I like you. You're very fair and reasonable unlike most of the people on either side of criticizing either genshin or wuthering waves.

[@miguerys9503]

33:16 THANK YOU!! I got A LOT OF HEAT for even mentioning parry should be on button-push, not animations. Some characters have a really hard time to parry, UNIVERSAL mechanic should be UNIVERSAL for all characters, otherwise you're encouraged NOT to play certain characters that you might like.

[@mordogonofastora3421]

To me, the gameplay is amazing, the movement is also amazing, the exploration is great, and the story started a bit boring but ended up being amazing, so I have high hopes for it. The only thing I didn't like about the game was its music. Other than that, a solid 8/8.5 out of 10

[@SynysterEskimo]

I have a good gaming PC but I often play on mobile for these games due to the easy accessibility and being able to play on work breaks. I definitely think there is a lot of room for improvement on the mobile camera and controls, and that your assessment of this is pretty on point. Still loving the game though even if it can be frustrating at times. I am hopeful they are going to work on improvements because the devs have been incredibly active up to this point.

[@justadad6677]

Further into this great video, and can say it has gotten a lot better on the ohone, as I can hardly play it on my laptop that runs genshin impact just fine. But I can play it on the phone. I have issues with Solo Leveling Arise too on my laptop, but not on the phone.

[@MyLovelyForm]

No way you blame lag when game is literally client sided and you technically have 0 lag, lag is only when u collect things etc, not when u fight

[@undeRWorld-AirsofT]

I call bullshit. I can't count how many times I get connection errors and shit or just don't do damage to enemies when my connection isn't perfect. It absolutely has an effect on exploration and combat.

[@handlerone5172]

Honestly his echo explanation is pretty spot on to how I see it. I have to remind myself that most players have only ever played Hoyo games or no gacha at all. This game has some MMO elements in it as well with the depth of grinding which I enjoy since it breeds longevity. Frustration at times, but longevity and that's important. It boils down to people wanting everything too much and too fast. Such a great example to use how Genshin was at the start. Even having a match 4 piece 4 star Gladiator set would be top tier back then. I think the system was designed with patience in mind, but they underestimated how good their game was going to be and how many people would speed run it. A good review, hopefully now he can take a break lmao.

[@snipergirl21]

Agreed people speedrun it too much. I made the mistake of going too hard, too early, and now I feel like I'm struggling. Once I hit UL45, I'm going to take things slow and really savor this game, because I refuse to burn out until I beat that damn hologram.

[@robertlaidlaw4592]

had to argue with so manny people, like yes you dont have the best styats ever but look how quickly you have amazing stats on your character, i have 2 character with 200 crit damage and 60-90 crit rate. all my characters have 2 elimental type 3 stars most are decent substats ie atleast one crit roll, i have 4 total dps's and 2 suports/sustains all leveld and with good echos, yea im actually a little burned out from farming, that would be impossible in hsr and genchin in hsr im still strugaling after 3 months to get just a few characters to a good place. not to mention that sbest stats arnt the end all be all of this game, it innevitably comes down to skill.

[@joshuamoua9226]

I agree 100% i also rated it a 7. Reason being is because their ceiling for this game is so fcking high. A rating of 5 or 6 in this game would feel like a 7 or 8 compared to genshin. Optimization for all platforms especially mobile(where most of there revenue will come from), and echo system is probably the main things to fix. Events and all that will take some time

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

Please do this every patch man if it's not much work for you! It's good for the game and the community. Don't mind if we agree or disagree with your points. What the game needs is constructive and productive criticism. People shouldn't just dismiss criticism now that we have a game where the devs has a higher probability of listening to feedback and actually doing something about it. But on the same vain, people should be free to criticize the criticism. Not all feedbacks are good feedbacks afterall.

[@xorphz]

I think it was extremely unfair to compare a 1.0 release of a gacha game to a 4.7 version of its competitor. You should have compared it to the original release of Genshin. In my opinion, there are a lot of things better about Wuwa than the original version of GI. I remember when 1.0 launched, I ran out of stuff to do in a day in a half of just grinding it out. Over 100 hours into Wuthering Waves at UL 46, and I still have a little bit of map exploration to finish, the cooking to max out, builds to work on, echoes to farm.. there's plenty to do besides just the tower. If you personally feel like you're "done," then that's a you problem. I'm going to keep working on my builds for an hour or so a day until 1.1 launches, and that's enough content for me in a gacha game launch after 100 hours of play. It was even more stupid to compare a mobile game to God of War. Almost seems like trolling. Yeah, it was designed for MOBILE. And for what it is, it's one of the best ever made.

[@TheLastAirbender3468]

This deserves more likes lol , well said

[@_tami.]

Yes you do because someone isn’t playing Genshin 1.0 when they login they’re playing 4.7

[@youngeli5974]

No because Wuwa has had 3+ years to take from Genshin, which it does worse in some aspects which is not good

[@lemayotv]

Tash compared the voice acting to GoW. Most games would fall short to GoW in this respect, but I don't think it has anything to do with it being a mobile game. If anything Kuro has waaay more budget for this game compared to a one time purchase game like GoW, it just shows that the English VA director didn't do a good job or Kuro as a company didn't care enough for the English voice acting

[@xorphz]

@@youngeli5974 Why would their 1.0 be on the level of Genshin's 4.7? Do you think their game was created this year? How do game development cycles work?
