The rewards would have been "Fine" if we only needed one copy of a character but in a game that requires at least 5 copies (Mythic+) for some characters to be even functional is just atrocious and especially since there is absolutely no control on who you get or some form of pity and thats just the gems and tickets. An even bigger issue is the acorns as there is isn't any consistent way of getting them and you need hundreds of those for every character F2ps and light spenders will literally have no chance in competing in a game revolving around the very concept of competition.

I think you've covered most of it, but I'll try and give my feelings as a very low spender. - The DR changes might not have been direct nerfs, but they still affected the chars substantially to the point where I do think people should be allowed their essence back or some way of meeting people halfway for this issue. (Even if it's just some essence to everyone) - The rewards, as you've pointed out, are just not there in the afk stages or in the world. It doesn't feel rewarding any longer, some standard pulls, equipment and so forth would go a long way to fixing that. If I don't feel like I'm making progress, I don't have fun, and that's where I am now. -The noble path. You mentioned this in your video, but my issue with it is basically the opposite to yours. The original one was much more rewarding *for me*. You got A-level chars, epic pulls, a hero selector box and acorns. Whereas the new one has cut a lot out of that in favour of more EXP and rate up tickets instead, which are not very enticing for me at this current point of the game. I think they can sort this out quite easily & quickly. I will give them some time, but for now I'm putting the game to the side to see what happens. If nothing changes, there are plenty of other games to play right now. If something does change, I look forward to jumping back in.

I also experienced something really bad in the supreme arena content where i was lvl 40+ in the current season when i unlocked the game mode. Checking out how it works i tried refreshing opponents and seeing who i could challenge. Exhausting all refreshes all opponents i saw were bots that had mostly supreme plus units with lvls ranging from 100 to 120+ which did not allow me to win matches i should have if the match making was tuned to my current power and lvl. The annoying thing is, once you click on the challenge button, you have to challenge someone or like forfeit a match once the timer runs out. So i feel like i lost either way. Our guild members experienced a similar issue so it is kinda disheartening. Instead of getting excited about the new mode i kinda got pissed for having almost no fighting chance against bots. Mind you some of the lineups the bots had were all mages and marksman, no tank but i got wiped by the Rhys with 1 ult. This happened purely because of the lvl discrepancy since i had mostly supreme units. I still love the game, but i do home they do the "dont take away; just add more value" kinda thing. I dont think taking away from the precedent and bare minimum expectations they set during the first part of the game does them any good and will only lead to negative feedback from the playerbase. Hope they adjust things soon.

This may get a lot of hate but tbh I expected this. They aren’t going to get everything right the first time.

If people invested in one thing then you changed it overcompensation along with communication is need. I’m someone who doesn’t mind spending a little and was ready to drop a few bucks but what made me pause was them changing the release of characters. That was a yellow light for me to slow down and wait a few days/weeks to see how the season shakes out before investing. If the devs get the grace and flexibility to make changes to people’s investments, then players should get the grace (compensation) and flexibility to adjust to changes made.

yeah sure you get a pity pull (for dupes) every week for free compared to lets say, Genshin, Arknights, HSR, etc. But dupes ARE the game in AFK Journey. In most gacha games, you can finish every content with any character regardless of pull to a certain degree but almost all of the time, but definitely not in here. Bad RNG? Well, too bad, that's probably a week of useless grinding to get another resource to get you to pity. This got worse once SoS starts because your grind means less reward as well unlike other gacha games where you gets the same premium currency(different themed seasonal rewards) since like it is since the beginning of the game, but not anymore. Here's the thing though, I think Journey frontloaded the rewards to get you to max available characters, and now we're just left with less rewards. In most popular gacha games, new patch/season means "interesting" new characters, places, minigames, stories, while Journey gives the same, this other "interesting" other teams are not really there. Meh characters, stories, barely interactibles world, more expensive new currency but less impactful (unless to clear old contents). Imagine, HALF of your character skills are locked behind dupes, so again, bad roll means you get nothing. Tbh, Journey is by far the most P2W gacha games I've ever played, even on the competitive sides. Especially because dupes also gated your PvE or non-PVP progress.

The shocking thing is this game is what 2 months old? And there's 8 billion convoluted and confusing battle modes and side add on events that you normally would only see in an older game where they are releasing add on content. I've been playing a few weeks at this point, and while it is fun, I'm having serious doubts due to the above as to whether I should keep playing or not. As fun as it is.. this game already has so many problems and is still so new. And the problems aren't a result of it being new, more of how it was implemented and the odd amount of battle modes and confusing character progression.

Positively making change in a game is understandable but they just made a niche unit(Mari and Korin) less viable for a mode they were used for. Odie has been good for every mode so why indirectly buff him for DR. Odie is monopolizing meta now which is forced and unsolicited, what if they suddenly nerf Odie cause ‘meta-shift’ and blame it on “gacha always has power creep”. All f2p and lower spenders will suffer, this change is something that is more easily avoidable than introducing a unit that power creeps older units. This is a bad practice which will force people to spend more to stay relevant, in guise of “meta shift” compared to what most Gacha practices. F2p and low spenders will never have shot at being relevant unlike most gacha where long term players are somewhat relevant in ladders. They could have introduce new bosses with said mechanics but they applied it on seasonal DR boss, in other words, every DR boss for next 4 months until new season starts. They really wanted to remove 'True dmg' meta and bring Odie in for everything, which in turn could be a step to their next agenda. P.S. they nerfed tickets, I get it, this is not the start of the season by now players probably have resources to roll. But why would you nerf resources like essence, you should be giving more or same amount of it now that many players have upgraded units from first season that require upgrades. I can't understand logic behind AFKJ devs, just a capitalist agenda to manipulate meta/resources to control the market to favor p2w.

I'm a f2p to player and my opinion is a different to what most people have. First all, other f2p players being upset over the fact p2w players are getting better rewards makes no sense. The only reason I, and everyone else playing f2p can only do so, because someone else is paying for the game, so of course they deserve better rewards than us, complaining about not being able to get the top rewards because "there's too many whales" is just bad mentality. You should not put yourself in the same league as someone who is getting more resources by paying. Second, yes, there is in general, less rewards in this season compared to the previous one, but honestly i completly i understand that. If f2p players got all of those resources every month, it would be super easy to max out a team and start competing with people that pay for the game. I've been playing for about a month and a half and I'm already on my way to my 3rd supreme character, and I'm sure I'm not playing the most optimally. If they kept the rewards up at this rate, in 2 months I could build a fully supreme team with +10 and +15 EQ characters and probably catch up with some p2w players, which is just bad for them, they are paying they deserve to stay on top. The only thing I really disagree with is the fact you can't get back the resources you invested in a character, especially when it gets nerfed. Luckily for me, I didn't invest in Marilee or Korin (even though I was just waiting for some more pulls to start investing), but by reading some of the comments I see this is a pretty big issue and I would be mad too if it happened to me. Temporal essence is not easy to come by and getting that stuck on a character that is no longer that good is not fun Besides that, I think what was said on 13:28 is exactly what most people need to hear. Really well said.

Well leaving that aside , i am the type of player that needs a goal for me to get excited , and when you knew like wow in the next 5 afk stanges i will get 1 more ticket so i can do another 10 pull was so exciting , tring to beat hard content in the open world in deficit as well was verry rewarding , the tower is a joke now getting 2 essence every 5 stages , i dont even touch that , but also in the afk stages only getting essence and gear for pushing ,it made me so mad , also another one are the Corputed creatures i was so excited when i saw those now they are like nothiing as well . I really hope they are going to do something about this .

Maybe it's just me but, the game feels pretty boring after about a month. Idk gameplay feels kinda repetitive, no reason to try at all when I can just wait 1 or 2 days to effortlessly clear any content, the only way to build characters is by pulling multiple copies from the gacha, getting new characters doesn't feel exciting anymore cause why would I use an epic rank instead of my supremes. Just feels like something is missing.

I disagree with that because the new season is actually hard. You need end game gear(at least 230 on average) from the normal world along with the new gear to progress. If you unlocked it easily you wouldn't be progressing to begin with.

If your game jumps to the top 5 in revenue of gacha games you should be thanking the player base with gifts and cool things. Instead Lillith decides to swindle its player base by cutting rewards all over the place. If they thought that would go over well they are delusional. If they planned to make up the lost rewards with events they should say SO but SO far not a word.

"Why are people crying about the mariliee nerf and not about the odie buff?" I understand about the lesser rewards in the seasonal game modes and content. But why are crybabies crying in the comments and everywhere about the true damage nerf. Their investment is not going into vain, mariliee is still the 2nd best damage dealer after odie. Don't forget that your odie as well as other heroes are also buffed by this adjustment. I bet most of the people who have built marilee also has built their odie. Then why complain about this damage adjustment on dream realm.

In all honesty, the changes to how dmg reduction ramps up for the dr bosses aren't terrible. I think they meant to make other heroes viable with it, but went a tad overboard. Also, literally every content creator/guide that I've seen (at least that I remember seeing) recommended building odie 1st over marilee, because he's much more versatile... if you didn't listen, that's on you. The actual things to be complaining about are the decreases in chest/event/guild battle/noble path/legend trial/afk stage rewards. Do keep in mind though, these things aren't going to help you catch up to the whales... they will only help push the whales farther ahead, as they'll be getting them too. Just my take on everything.

Good video ty. I have some suggestions: 1. Be able to select auto or manual mode for a hero (and speed) before starting battle. 2. Be able to set three different combinations that the game will try in AFK mode before ending Auto Battle. (I dislike a game being called AFK but I have to continuously tend it) 3. Preset target prio or behaviour. (why you making me do manual stuff??)

The summon rate is horrible. I am so used to the crazy amount of reward with Afk Arena, that Afk journey is just not f2p friendly at all. THE VIP systems is horible compare to afk arena. I spent some $ on the game, especially monthly pass, and noble path. Which helped me alot. With the current changes, I don't even feels like monthly pass and nobel path is worth it anymore. At this point, I rather quit even if I used to maintain top 40-50 before they decided to nerf many things, character and changes boss as well server merge competing.

One way to avoid these kinds of problems is to use test servers. They simply released the season at the same time on these servers as on the global one. Just like in Honkai Star Rail, there have to be test servers for people to try things out before the global release.

Gachas should never do such extreme nerfs to characters or damage types when people spend actual money to invest in these characters. This isn't a standard mmo or rpg where everyone can just swap in a different character if something gets nerfed. Very thoughtless and inconsiderate of a company to make that extreme of a change. I thankfully have Odie as well but I wish I could get the resources I put into Marilee and Korin back.

Will probably just put this game to rest. I realized that after the main questline and a month of playing that the fun of watching numbers go up wore off. Switching goals to competitive is a no go because its not a skill competition, its a money spending marathon. Honor duels was the only great thing about this game, but it gets old after a while. I probably would have gotten more play value buying DLC for other games than buying battlepasses and packs for a gacha game, but I hadnt really played a gacha game up until I tried this, so its not like i could have known. Solid 8/10 game for the first month, 6/10 past that. Props to yall who are going to stick with it.

The gacha trap. I had hope, but it was ripped from me. When i noticed that fighting enemies that were half a million power below me wasn't enough to beat them, it tripped me out a lot. Like Klutch said, wuthering waves waiting room at this point; but since playing PGR it might also have that tapering off of rewards making progression way too time consuming. Small note: The state of gaming nowadays has turned into a chore. Players have optimised the fun out of gaming these days, making nothing fun to play ever again. I go back to games made 15, 20 years ago because they're not impossibly grindy, they have a nice progression and a nice story.

I just took Marilee to +10 a few days before the season started so I'm pretty salty about the boss changes. Having pretty much everything reset and heavily rewarding bigger spenders every season start is defo not something I think I'll stick around for long term. How long until we hit max season level? Max AFK stages, Max gear? Regrinding everything I literally just finished a week ago is not a fun experience for me.

I had my concerns before the season is about to release. I also played other games made by Lilith. They implement the season stuff in the game, which is first very good to play but later on it is an endless loop. Seasons keep on repeating. After the season, your season progress will be lost because its temporary. Then you have to spend money on the same thing each time the season repeats. Its like your money is went into garbage after the season ends and restart your progress from the next season. There is another thing that might be implement in this game like their other game, like you can equip some passive skills of other heroes that are no longer in meta. But the skill level depends on whether you invested in that hero or not. There are many other things but lets see how they goes with this game

Honestly a "salvage mechanic" to pull resources off a built Marilee or Korin even if it's a limited item that allows you to do it would lessen the sting of dumping a tone of resources in characters that are now objectively weaker post season update. I saw people saying that there's already a similar mechanic in AFK Arena so I'm sure Lilith is already considering it.

This kinda remind me of the afk arena situation, many invested heavily on Ainz and lucretia and then they got completely replaced with units like liberta, rem, lucilla and such. Players who never played afk arena need to brace themselves for future updates, cause when lillith decides to nerf or powercreep a unit it's going to be tough, unless they are liberta level which I doubt will happen anytime soon
@wulfgrimtv47645 ай бұрын
Man it's wild, start of the game overloads you with resources to pull to your hearts content, and it slows down? Man that's never happened in a Gacha game ever. I'd love more pulls, but I understand that games like this want you to buy pulls to be 'on top' and I don't see anything wrong with that. I also don't think the incidental nerfs to Marilee and Korin (Both of who I have built up) is really that bad. Sure, it sucks, but they are ALL you needed for Dream Realm, period. They could practically Solo you to max rewards, everyone else was pretty mediocre. I don't even think they're that bad now, just not doing 80% of the work between the two of them, and letting other characters do stuff, I think that's fine. I 1000% agree with the pacing issues though, I get its an AFK game, but its fun to explore and do stuff. Pacing just seems pretty weird when you're being walled off 4 hours in, and I hope the next season they do the pacing better. I want to see the story lol. I think some of the complaints are valid, but a lot of it just seems like whining to me. People wanna be the top, without spending anything, and it isn't going to happen. I love the game, haven't spent yet, but might actually grab these Season Passes to support a bit, because they're cheap compared to most games. Just fix the pacing of the season going forward lol.

I somehow understand why they remove the marilee meta. Here’s what i think (sort of backing afk in a sense😂): 1. Last season is more on lightbearer clan, quite a number of its characters deal true dmg, so of course the meta is skewing to it. 2. this season it’s about maulers, so they ramping up raw magic / physics dmg in DR. 3. They already declare they are trying to make changes every season to remove OP/ meta game style

Oh, they Nerfed Noble Path all right. Not only did they Nerf it, but you have to pay for it a second time even if you already bought it this month. On top of that the growth path thing? it was only $19.99 when i bought it the first time iirc, and now it's $29.99. And supposedly less rewards. So they want you to pay more for less rewards and be grateful for it. They're out of their fcking minds if they think that I personally or anyone else who spends their money responsibly on these type of predatory microtransaction games is going to pay 10 bucks twice (this month anyway) for noblepath.and then double the cost for the growth path pack. Especially when they've already proved that without any remorse whatsoever make predatory changes to their game without any regards to their player base. I mean I am sure there are people out there with more money than brains, that will just throw that extra 40 bucks at them, but a lot of us would rather spend our money responsibly and I really don't want to give my money to someone who is so disrespectful to their player base. I would rather spend that $29.99 and $9.99 on Honkai and pull for Robin, Topaz, or Fu Xuan. Because at least I know that they're damage percentage isn't going to get nerfed a few months after getting them.

2 other things that should be talked about are the inequality between servers themselves and between district themselves. Players on bigger servers get punished simply because they are playing on a bigger server. If you are in a server with 10000 active players (some of the early servers) there are only 200 top spots. That is 2% of the entire server. If you are playing on a emptier server with 1000 active players, the top 200 has spots for a total of 20% of the entire server. A game that is all about rankings, but it isn't even fair between servers themselves. "Just start a new account" is the most common advice, which goes to show how bad it is. Same thing with the districts. Some districts are 10 times easier. Why do people in harder/bigger districts get punished? What did these players do wrong? There should be more top rankings available the bigger the server is. Every player should have equal opportunity. But that isn't the case. Your Top 10% is Top 80 on some other servers. The other thing is the champion store. Stargazer orbs are essential. Locking 20+ pulls out for non champion rank people is demoralizing. The top players already get extra rewards and with the supreme arena will get even more extra rewards. Why lock the store out for 90% of the players? And they are starting to put more items into the store, as expected.
@vitorrodriguez42785 ай бұрын
wasn't even aware of a champions store, but i agree with you, locking it behind a fixed number of players is unfair for larger servers. If they did it only for the top 5% or 10% it would be more fair.

No acorns in Legend trials, less rewards in Dream realm etc. - everything was reseted into the ground and whole point of "new season" _(and rewards)_ is go to back on your lost max-lvl point _(without any account progression)_ ?! I will finish previous Noble path then go off for few weeks ... maybe returnee rewards will be more rewarding than playing the game right now...
