[Solo Leveling: Arise] - My honest experience as F2P! Is this game F2P friendly? The Good & Bad

[@l0rd_grim340]

W also another + is that you don't need to stress Bout competing with others. And can play at your own pace

knowing both sides of the game is huge

[@Emitts_Official]

nah , being f2p is the huge side being a whale doesn't earn u knowledge since u grind on easy mode with money u don't research as f2p

[@NewSunGambit]

@Emitts_Official as a p2w myself I highly disagree I research and try everything

[@PayneBlade]

Being a whale is huge knowledge lol. How do you think I'm able to tell you guys which SR to use and test? This is an odd comment

my f2p exp has been cruddy so far im on chapter 8 stuck on the final boss not even had one ssr weapon or unit from all my pulls can truly tell this is an netmarble game the way it also spams u with pay walls and subscritions right off the bat >>>> getting gold for f2p is not good so u gotta stick with upgrading an certain weapon or hunters unless u pay

[@RitzStarr]

[@VezoloMike]

No worries all netmarble games after 1 year will get alot freebies. i play sv1 ,sv2 , nino x world from netmarble. all f2p after 1 year the amount of freebies is insane

for an F2P, you would need to be a farmer for some time

Just tried the game. some packs i can afford, but i would not be buying anything so that its easier for me to drop the game without regrets if i find that the game is too p2w or if f2p gap is too much.

[@PayneBlade]

yes very good

[@Latinkuro]

It's a good thing SR are competitive, because getting SSR duplicates to limit break would be a nightmare and the main issue I hate gacha games, so predatory with their practices.

[@Luckly]

I know you trying speak fast and professional, I would suggest you to say what you want and cut the parts when you get confused, allowing yourself to be wrong and say everything normally this way you can be more confident and less stressed

When is the release ? Dont want to play with a vpn

[@leo_otarola]

yeah is p2w, but who cares, all the games are the same

[@dragoneater2596]

Solo Leveling Arise is fun at BASE BUT it's full of dogshit stuff for f2p players. Sure you can't claim the 6 hour daily reward or the upgraded reward as a F2P, BUT WHY KEEP DANGLING IT IN FRONT OF US JUST GREY IT OUT OR NOT HAVE IT BE THERE, if I see the sweep function, daily funds and gate rewards asking me to fucking pay and you'll get these rewards constantly for the following months I'm losing my goddamn mind. Summoning bricks your progression as getting a character from the side story forces you to level them up. Upgrade events are absolutely horrendous whalebaits. Gates is a cool concept until you realize it constantly locks you behind a 10 minute RNG wall for good gates and you can't even sweep the stages and if you say what's the big deal just wait 10 minutes and refresh again well some people have a job and lives to get to, if I have to constantly look back at my game to check up on whether I get shat on by rng for the gates and needing to sit through 10+ stages of this bullshit by the time you're done with the game it ate up your entire rest time. While most games would just require you to do a short to medium time sink into dailies this is THE ONLY GAME THAT FORCES YOU to open the game up again and check constantly for gate refreshes and I'm sorry but that's stupid.

[@RealPandaboi]

The diffrence between the levels of a f2p and p2w are high i had a f2p acclunt but i decided to reroll and spend some money and the account that i spent money on leveled up way quicker and i got some more rolls in that helped me aswell

[@trash1222]

I actually got 6 ssr in like 100 spins i didn't rech pity once got me 1000% motivated as a f2p

I do the same I have p2w and f2p acc, honestly I'm having fun using my f2p acc the challenge and the fun is right there coz in my p2w acc I'm like a child that good at making mistakes and learning from it I can explore the do's and donts and then become a experience pro using f2p coz being conservative in spending resources is a must😂 there is a different kind of fun and experience being a p2w and f2p player hehe nice content very informative looking forward for more

[@Gonzo0102]

Thank you for this review, it's so rewarding to know that we can enjoy this game to full without using actual money. One question, Payne. Did you use the same build with Sung in your P2W and in this one? Cus I love the one you made for full crit and perception. Thanks again, your content is so great and transparent, you are the only one I watch.

[@PayneBlade]

Hey Gonzo! I just put out a new Jinwoo stats guide that I did a LOT of testing and str prec is better for both!

[@WoWAltoholic]

Thanks, this really helped me to skip this game for now.

[@dkshadow23]

Nah there is some combat issues like when you do a move that has you moving real fast and an effect like poison or that bomb goblin drops a bomb on your circle when your not there and take damage that’s one big issue they gotta fix

[@dkshadow23]

Like what’s the point of having flashy moves that make you teleport all over the place just to still get hit by stuff when not there basically means it’s better to use the simple stuff rather than any weapon with flashy attacks for Sung Jinwoo

[@Kk-bq3xw]

Payne your the best brother 🙏

[@rayusingame]

I stopped playing ever crisis when this game came out lol

[@izayoiarya]

End game need more gold, I hope they update for dungeon gold

[@user-ue7gt6cr1v]

The need to fix the gold issue, the artifacts change costing gold, the story mode that forces you to use certain characters if you pulled them then you are screwed you need to spend resources to barely keep them alive, the game wants you to make multiple build but gives zero resources to do it it just dumb

[@xdersxufendekxnxkex_4740]

[@tatsukinomiya]

As an F2P player, I have a A3 Demonic Plum Flower Sword, Thetis Book, Seo Jiwoo, A1 Min, A2 Choi, and overall just a solid account. I didn't re-roll (I never re-roll gachas, ruins the experience for me) and currently almost lv45. The game is good, it's a fun game overall. It STILL need a lot of quality of life features, but I'm certain it will once Global release comes.

[@Starry-kun]

What a lucky guy

[@Starry-kun]

I got A1 demon king long sword, huntsman gun, thetis book, Emma. I also didn't re-roll. The only problem I have now is gold. I only have 4 digits now. Can't level up weapons and supports now 😭😭😭. The scythe is free, isn't it??

[@tatsukinomiya]

@Manhwa-kun Yeah bro! The scythe is free which is why I didn't count it. I rolled a scythe, so the free one will be an A1 once I get to it. And YES gold is the only restriction right now

What's your Jinwoo's Build on F2P accounts (Both Stats and Gear)?

[@PayneBlade]

Atm strength and perception and gear is the armed set with expert accessories but far from perfect

[@DakDaraN]

About combat issue, i don't like the fact that when you play with your units and not Woo, and have them on auto, sometimes it starts the ultimate ability and then change to other unit and the ult is lost, in the case of Lim Tae-Gyu at least. Another problem: Stat points for Woo, i don't see the need to put points on something else other than str, i tried many combinations but at the end full str was the best. [ level 48 here so i know what i'm saying ].

[@imadlahham7492]

Nah thats luck perception and healtj if your bad at dodging (lvl 43)

I'm about to show a full stats video with numbers but for my p2w for example agi and perception do more than str

have you cleared chapter 15? I had no extra points in strength hahahah

[@luisclaudioguerin4870]

F2p players will also have ssr units and weapons, and while a lot of people (payneblade here included) played using only SRs and yet can enjoy the only real problem is the lack of gold, the only different is a slower progress, but not a stop progress. (Im free2play by the way, and got no problem beating the igris chapter for example). There iseven a guy who beat a ranked challenge with only sr weapons at rank 1. People need to just have in mind that not every9ne could be number one, its the opposite, even pay2win players will be a lot behind other pay2win players that spend more, and what everyone should understand is that this is not a bad thing, cause spenders make the game going on free for us all and not shuttinh down, im not defending predatory p2w games, those are garbage, im just saying how a heathy game do, I already played a lot of extremely free games that gives everything for free some games that have literally nothing to be paid with money except for cosmetics and very good games and yet they all struggle to be alive or have already died, its sad, bad a lot of people (probably most people) dont want to play to earn their character, weapons, currencies, etc, most people spend exactly cause they don't want to play or don't want to grind or don't like to wait and that's way they spend, most people that enjoy actually playing the games don't spend money, or spend only a little and that's reality, balancing the level of pay 2 win makes the game more or less predatory, but it is (imo) the best way to make a game avaliable for everyone, much better than spending to actually buy a game and then play for some hours and never touch it again.
