You seem to of forgotten that they said only the first season will have the time gated start. You keep saying this, but they said every subsequent season will start at the same time. It was in their announcements about how seasons work.
Also, arbitrarily compressing levels is a horrible idea. No point in spending if can't get ahead of other people. Especially if they keep releasing crap characters. The real issue with grind is the amount of afk and tower stages. Especially at the point where there are virtually no rewards left. I want to get to a point where I can coast and not bash my head against the afk wall every day.
@@weslawrence888 This… it literally makes no sense or… frankly… no difference when they limit shit like this. There’s a simple fact; the spenders will literally always be ahead regardless WITH THE CAVEAT of end game accounts in general; what does gating the story progression by days or limiting the amount of essence and books people can get if they push ahead accomplish? 1) the whales will, naturally, have more Resonance resources regardless 2) the whales will, naturally, have more summon resources regardless 3) if the limit isn’t placed on Resonance level OR the rewards they get from pushing higher (I.E higher level gear)… then THE WHALES WILL ALSO HAVE HIGHER LEVEL GEAR REGARDLESS AS WELL 😂 This means that the whales… will literally still be doing more damage and placing higher in EVERY content… REGARDLESS. It’s so fuckin pointless
EXACTLY, if they let us use gems to summon on stargazing like they have on afk arena could be "another" story. Atleast we could get the cele/hypo heroes "faster" ( talking about f2p/low/mid spenders). but like this, with all these new cele/hypo and with how little we can get, it will take ages to build just one.
@@ZXbolterZX yeah, but he/she wrote it's too much because we can't use gems to summon from them. if you are a mid spender/low or f2p. how will you summon? just getting them from the shops isn't enough. atleast let us use gems, like what they have on afk arena. it's the same devs, in there it was easier to build them when i played afk arena.
The 560 baseline is so high it basically means you are gonna be shafted for over 50% of the entire season and be behind. And only towards the end it will be equalized a little, until the same thing repeats once the next season starts.
Saaame, I am very very active on Server 113 on AFK Season Stage 719 with Season Resonance Level 350... PvP levels are SO much higher than me and it shows in damage
Yeah, the Compression for Supreme Arena only really starts kicking in for the top 60 in my district. The cap only affects 4 people so far... I'm well outside of that and barely play Supreme Arena consequently because, well, what's the point of attacking someone whose resonance is 20-30 levels higher than mine, which is what I need for increased rewards? No amount of strategy I've found seems to make up for that level deficit.
2-3 Hypo/cele a season is too many definite whale territory, I know they need to make money but consider being in champion tier you get 5 stargazer a week to buy takes 8 weeks to get to 40 To pity a single copy of a hypo/cele is crazy
It is clearly intended that f2p and low spending players never get to build all Hypo/Cele characters, which is okay i guess. I mean being a big spender has to have some advantage. But i hope when there are more of these units in the game, they make it possible to stargaze with diamonds or at least give us a more sustainable way to get stellar crystals.
@@sammmB9 Yeah, i see that as a problem as well. Especially since all of them other than Reinier have to be S+ to work really well. I think it would be good to make it possible getting at least 1 every season to S+ or bringing almost 2 to M+. That way you can build half of them. They can even do something for low spenders, like selling 1 copie of a Celepogean for 5$ each month. That wouldn't be crazy, but it would halp progress them on a low spending perspective without taking away a lot value for whales
It is great to see this communication! My biggest concern is losing all of our season progression and effort at the start of the new season. I’m still really enjoying the game and plan to keep playing regardless.

This game takes way too much time right now… I really need 4x battle speed and some skip battles options for arena, bosses and more. Really like the game, but just don’t have time to wait for all this battles to finish 😎🙌
They just need to bring back the boost when you start falling behind on your server/region. That keeps it competitive, and allows people with less time to play to catch up. On my alt account I just feel like quitting because it's so far behind.
Damn, they need to provide ways to obtain more yellow essence & stargaze material on a fairly regular basis, otherwise it would be too much frustrating going forward.
Not having just one set of crests that can actually make it to floor 20 would be good. Getting one shot at floor 16 when you just rofl stomp the floors below sucks. Atleast dont make us replay floors 1 to 15 and just do the rewards pulls so we can quickly get up.
I believe a good solution would be for the first season (season of strife) to end regardless of when a server launched (for example later servers get 60 days of season instead of 120 days) , that means from s2 onwards every server will go into the new season on the same time.
2-3 cele/hypos each season sounds like too much unless they are planning to make them more accessible. including stargazers in the event rewards seems like a step in that direction so I hope they continue in that vein if they are planning to release several of them for each season. and I do hope they are planning to add more S-levels to the arena store at some point, or you will run out of anything worthwhile to buy there aside from stargazers. although I imagine there are people less inclined to pull for them if they know they can buy them eventually so I wonder if they would say anything about it ahead of time...
I love the timed Q&A part, seeing all the players running from O to X is really cool. So…..my suggestion, make that one perpetually. The NPC just keeps asking questions and the players has a limit of 20 questions. So you can jump in at any time and start at any question and it would just kick you after you answered 20. In addition, make it limited to 60/80 questions a day or make it go on cooldown for a couple hours. So you have to wait to try again or they is a limit on how many questions you can answer a day. The other events could also just run on the hour.
In terms of the banners they should alternate S and A level characters. That way everyone’s happy. For cel/hypos they should be able to be pulled with diamonds. Like 5k for 10 pulls, something like that. Those two issues are the biggest right now in which they have not addressed unfortunately.
I don't know why they didn't do like other gacha game did, every banner is s rank/5 star and have an A rank/4 star character with it. Soren should be in alsa banner.
dunno if volkin wants to ever talk about leaks but pretty sure talene, tasi, ulmus, phraesto, sonja, nara + other unnamed characters were all datamined long ago so we can kinda know whose next
Data mining is a prohibited activity from AFK Journey's terms of use. I'd imagine reviewing that content would also go against their policy. I believe those videos get taken down and probably why he does not review that info.
4:00 i immediatly took note that the a rank might not be in the dream store until the next season started. This technically isnt as bad as it seem though since the dream realm currency income is winding down at this point so the ability to buy new a levels in the dream realm store is limit anyway. Assuming that all heros from the previous season get added to their respective stores when the next season starts would be good though. As that would likely also mean all the current s ranks will also get added.
They’ve already said many times in the early days that this season will start 46 days after the server opens, but future seasons will start at the same time across all servers, and older seasons can be played in the temporal rift.
During one of their questionaires during the Soren banner, they asked me why I didn't pull for Soren, with one of the options being that it'll be available after the banner ends. I did try to put custom feedback to mention that it's not a bad thing.
I think we need a "hero release roadmap" of sorts, like you said we don't need all the details of each hero every release but something showing any more info than "hey, they're coming soon". If we had it say something like "Next banner is going to be (faction) and (class)", I think that would help a lot with trying to plan out when would be good times to save or not. Obviously the more info they give us, the better we as a community can plan, but if I'm struggling with building a certain team or maybe a faction tower, knowing that a new character of that faction is going to drop in 2 weeks would incentivize me to save and see if I want to pull it.
Would really like a rework of the featured banner. Something similar to HSR/GI 1 featured S rank and 3+ A ranks. Just having 1 A rank hero for a featured banner is not doing it for me.
13:30 wow that is something new for me, quit afk arena before that was introduced. IF they make something like this in afk journey AND remove the limit of how many battles you can try, it would be huge !!! some battles you have to fight them 20/30+ to get the perfect rng. imagine if we have that auto feature with auto retry. it would solve a fair bit of headaches lol
Only think I desagree is on the autobattle. I like it the way it is now. I think that on afk arena we just made comps that work 1 in 1000 times and just auto battle it... I kinda like to trying to find the right solution, as the game gives you the chance to swap placements and so... I guess if we could just autobattle we would be like on afk arena, hoping for good rng, thorans that work once in a million times and so...
We really need an event that atleast give us 1 S hero of our choice or make new something of arena shop like put another hero pool to the shop or put all non banner hero there
I did like this game and I was on a relaxed server. They changed my server grouping to ones with a lot of whales. Needless to say, there is no movement in ranks for anything. Due to this, I'm throwing in the towel.
One issue i was hoping they'd address is the fact that due to me being under lvled i basically get no rewards from the current primal lord. My heros just die instantly and i can't do enough damage to earn a chest. Mind you i finished the story and was able to reach the boss but its not enough to even earn 1 chest. So i was hoping theyd change it to have atleast 1 pity chest for atleast participating.
@Malzov what is a decent lvl i thought that if i could finish the story ide atleast be able to do ok at it im not complaining that im low ranked its more that i just get nothing from it at all.
i remember the devs saying something BUT my question is, what will happen once the season ends? a full reset? or we get something back out of the TIME/MONEY!! spent to get that high resonance level? cause resetting every time is demoralizing to say the least...
I think if they are released Cel/Hypo in the furture I think they should make it possible to purchase Stargazer Orbs with some diamond daily like how they did with Time Emblem in Afk Arena.
this games been out for just a few months and it's already on a tight rope, many people quitting due to boredom, A level banners, seasonal power, bare minimal rewards, spamming paid packs causing the resonance level diff, i could go on. Game has too many issues and they're addressing things coming to the game rather than things already in the game that need improvement. Not a current good look but we'll see (dying for arcane labirynth rewards most of all)
I think the game is moving to a good direction. Eirron comps will have less of an impact from now on, considering that theres a huge difference between afk 500 and 600 stage in terms of power difference.
Homie you can get most S levels from a store. You are hyper focused on A levels being available but S level heroes are easy to get from arena store so the same logic follows. ;P I love this game. Love the heroes! LOVE the strategic gameplay. It has plenty of room for improvement but this game deserves more praise then its getting by a mile. Love your content. Wish people would focus a bit more on the beautiful art, music, sound, strategy, character usefulness, and other great things about AFKJ. Thanks again for all your great vids!
u know what? give us Soren, give us the Tree. i wouldnt even be mad if i could use those gems to stargaze instead. this would literally fix so much for me :D
I can understand that they want to reduce the power limit between the players, but that's a big point for all "spenders" or "whales" not to invest in this game anymore because then I'll just be slowed down anyway like in the "Pre Season " Dust Limit. Please correct me if I misunderstand something.
it's always a great thing to see developer of the game actually listening to the player and trying to improve it. also, SCAMGAZE -_- where tf do we gonna get another scamgazing income
The loose character schedule is nice, and I think it's a great start. I think they could do top of the hour every 4 hours for the quiz and keep the others open 24/7. As someone who's played games that both time limit when you can do things as well as have long waiting periods between fresh releases and when they are available again/easier is usually quite long, and 3-4 months isn't very long/bad by comparison. (I have to wait a year for new releases to come back around in another game, as example)
The compressed leveling is a good idea in theory but it needs to have minimal impact on progression incentive. There needs to be incentive to push AFK stages, gold and higher gear rewards is not enough incentive, not even close. It needs to be power based incentive otherwise there is no point...especially if they remove the afk progress unlock on Dura Trial stages. The only place power has an unfair advantage is PvP - focus on minimizing power gap there, not PvE stuff.
The season system is my biggest issue with the game... most people from my server are planning to quit the game when next season starts. This is because they dont like the idea to start over again and again...
Nothing is reset, your characters are still same resonance and same ascension level, you just unlock a new area and being 240 is like being level 1 for that area….
I will more than likely be quiting the game then as well for that exact reason. Never understood the attraction of resetting everything. Same reason I never touched seasons in Diablo, albeit different in some ways. Reset and try to get back to as strong as you were 4 months ago, rinse and repeat. Just makes me sick thinking all of my time goes to complete waste in the end. I mean it does anyways but, you know..
@@EXRDaBeasta as someone pointed out, not everything gets reset. just the season progress. youre still building your base levels and stuff. you don't lose any of the progress you made in the base game, just the seasonal stuff
Pioneer server: Don't know how it is in their other games, but the wording "WE would like to INVITE..." worries me. If they are the one choosing who can or cannot join then it could be a shitshow. CCs only care about making content out of it and most times they don't test things properly or overlook a lot of shit because they're, again, worried about making content.
To display each player's strength in the season, as a guild leader, it's very frustrating to not know who is evolving their account with seasonal power rather than base power. Could you provide feedback?
having a max AFK xp per day even though you pushed more levels will mean there's no incentive for whales to spend money to have an advantage... maybe this is good for F2P players to compete but whales will be angry, me included
This is bringing me memories from Dislyte. They never heard the community, did a lot of shitty stuff and then always "aologies", "we are going to hear your opinions" and lots of promises just not to do it again... (The flower boss was a raid announced for Dislyte, they started to work in this game and suddenly the boss never arrived and was shown in AFKJ ads, to say an example) I really hope I'm wrong and they don't continue doing as they did before...
Well a day later, Ulmus is out and Soren is NOT in the dream store. So not looking good for A ranks. Of course, he could still get added later, but it seems like he would come now if were coming.
sadly its normal for gacha games to not announce their next hero because it will kill the excitement for the current hero. that is why most gacha games announce their next new characters 1-3 days before the current summon banners end.
But the biggest gacha games like Genshin and HSR do it way earlier. I feel like that would be easier for the consumer in deciding whether or not they want to spend their resources.
I think the heroes is a bit over kill for them? I havent played AFK Arena, I dont know how many characters are there, but it seems like AFK Journey is trying to push a lot of characters, which could backfire at them later?
Nah. Look at the game rn, pretty stale and boring. Many people quitting and also whales which can literally kill the game. Having a new unit or a hype unit can turn it around.
@@VolkinAFKJourney In the eyes of the company wouldn't that lessen the hype. I feel like pretty much all gacha games do a surprise teaser just days before release.
The AFK-Progress limit doesn't matter since VIP-levels exist. If you are VIP11 and get 30%-50% extra stuff you will always be ahead of f2p, no matter what. But this is obviously a concious p2w design choice to make them money. I see in my Game progression: I had time in the early Season so I reached top20-50 in early Dream Realm. The longer the Season went, the farther I fell behind, since my dust income just can't compete against someone with that much more gain. Now I barely get top 80 in Dream Realm.
I think they need to balance it carefully, if they make things even more competitive for dolphins due to trying to help F2P or people who play casually. They will lose a lot of people who pay in my opinion.
So I completely understand P2W feeling they need a reason to P2W, however it should never give you and advantage in pvp or leaderboards. P2W should only give you convenience and ease of access to progression. The purpose of P2W in my opinion is to ultimately save time, not pubstomp F2P players.
@@vogiassssss no im not talking about the wishlist but the shop. emporium shop, that we use the currencies from dream realm to buy A tier hero copies. i was writing about that last post. they will be in the wishlist after the timer, we know of that.
@@vogiassssss im talking about the emporium shop, not the wishlist. even volkin said the same thing as i wrote but added maybe it was a bad translation/half message. with how it's written and we will see as ulmus comes. if soren doesn't go in the emporium shop ( the shop of dream realm ), it will mean this msg in their post is true unfortunately. that would mean, new A tier heroes will come in the following season. let's hope it's not true.
I’ve hit pity for the last month on my main account. I stopped spending. This is ridiculous. I created a new account and it hasn’t hit pity for some time.
I filled out the survey that asked how frequently they should add new heroes and I said once a month…guess I was on the lower side of that one lol 😂 this is saying more than 2 a month sheeeesh f2p rip
@@TheMrFelin That is a good point but bcz of that the values of celestials r skyrocketing and ofc they r meant for p2w I'm a p2w myself but I have a f2p acc The best route for them to take is to get 2x cele/hypo per month since we only get 1x That way it could cut the waiting time for m+ in half whether it be guild coins or orbs.
More transparency on pull rates would be awesome. As is, most people you talk to seem to have zero faith in the numbers being accurate. If they're basing it on including the pity for the calculations, they need to say so. As is, it feels like a lie for a lot of players.
That's how they make their money. Imagine if someone spending $100+ of dollars and still get beat on by a F2P. Who would spend money and how would the game get funding.
correct, what i was saying is there is a balance between whales getting an advantage and F2P still being able to enjoy the game. both things need to happen to have a balanced game
but how can u make cross-server guilds without completely fucking up the guild modes for the newer servers? district based guilds are as good as it gets, guilds should never be global
If they don't introduce ways to roll for Scamgazer with diamonds, introducing 2-3 cel/hypos every 4 months is insane. Basically it's exclusively a whale game at this point.
Scamgazers yes. Diamonds? Not yet. It's too soon to add that but I agree that they need to add ways to get more scamgazers From a whale perspective I'm good But For f2p perspective I hope u guys can get like 2 cele/hypo per month whether it be scamgazers or guild coins 2 cele/hypo per month is alr good since u guys can progress faster and reduce the time
I agree but for diamonds it's too early. I think they should make it 2 cele /hypo per month instead of one I'm a whale so I'm good but they need to add more guild coins or scamgazers 2 cele/hypo per month would be sufficient enough whether it become scamgazers or guild
Game was fun and had lots of potential. Now it’s boring. Everyday I log in to do the same few time consuming tasks. I barely “progress”. New characters take too long and are generally underwhelming. Game had so much potential but I think I should just quit now
Since you say you read these comments. Suggest something about how they give whales free hypo pulls in arena but the rest of us are buying stupid shit like Igor or brutus haha😂 ty
The timed events is so bad.. forcing players to login in a specific time just to participate is just not good.. if they want to improve that event just remove the time limits
They really dont know what happened in discord and facebook? People lost the will to play because they keep releasing trash character in f2p banner. Everyone have 100k diamonds at this points because they just can't pull for anything at this point. Theres nothing entertain f2p players beside seeing good characters goes to stargazer over and over again. Diamond is useless currency.
May be slightly unrelated, but it feels weird that there’s basically one good carry/formation option for F2P campaign (cecia), and nothing seems to come close in competing. I don’t want them to nerf things, but maybe buff or rework others so there’s some variance between carries/lineups in the earlier game. (I’m new, so apologies if this sounds dumb to veterans)
The New Max afk Progress is the biggest slap to the face ive seen. why bother pushing at all removing the whole point of the game just for f2p dont like the gap like dude lets face it... Ya never could or will stand a chance...losing the race these 1st roadblocks is guaranteed and every second from then is a slap to the face to the players by these fake roadblocks. But Hey wait for the kid all the way in the back to catch up.... LMAO for them to see everyone pass them again and again the split second the roadblocks r removed so that feeling of always behind happens multiple times the season and should feel even worse falling behind because every other player should of gotten more loot to have them push further while i get nothing for making them lose out... but you know whats gonna be even stronger the following season The Fking Battlepass LMAOOO great way of showing us how ya really feel lilith. Clowning on the heavily invested afk pusher accounts while they sacked they progress in other modes thanks a fuck ton.
They cant, but they need to do something about this toxic crybaby community💀 p.s. stop asking for more and shorter unit releases. with how scarce resources are, yall are insane asking for that. (saw someone ask for a new hero every week and hypocelest every 2 weeks…huh?)

"i know, but im still 310" soo true
Yep, I'm only 390 and i play literally every day.
The 560 baseline is so high it basically means you are gonna be shafted for over 50% of the entire season and be behind. And only towards the end it will be equalized a little, until the same thing repeats once the next season starts.
335 for me, haven't been excited about the game. Haven't been doing dailys, it's turned to afk.

This was very needed, I'm glad we finally got some type of road map for expectations. And they addressed a lot of people's complaints/comments.
Wow, they finally communicated! Glad they're making Astral Fair more frequent. That was one of my main suggestions in all the Reddit threads about it.
2-3 Hypo/cele a season is too many definite whale territory, I know they need to make money but consider being in champion tier you get 5 stargazer a week to buy takes 8 weeks to get to 40
To pity a single copy of a hypo/cele is crazy
And that is for the minority that are ranked that high, which in the day 1 servers are mostly all spenders anyway.
And now consider the other 80-90% of the player base who can't even buy these 5 orbs a week.
It is clearly intended that f2p and low spending players never get to build all Hypo/Cele characters, which is okay i guess. I mean being a big spender has to have some advantage. But i hope when there are more of these units in the game, they make it possible to stargaze with diamonds or at least give us a more sustainable way to get stellar crystals.

That's the entire point of the seasonal system. You will still keep all the hero tier upgrades and EX weapon upgrades.

True, Labyrint needs some attention.
This.
Not having just one set of crests that can actually make it to floor 20 would be good. Getting one shot at floor 16 when you just rofl stomp the floors below sucks. Atleast dont make us replay floors 1 to 15 and just do the rewards pulls so we can quickly get up.
need to add x4 and skip battle
Yes! ❤️
I believe a good solution would be for the first season (season of strife) to end regardless of when a server launched (for example later servers get 60 days of season instead of 120 days) , that means from s2 onwards every server will go into the new season on the same time.

Devs are very bad at making choices but they are good at listening players. I cant get angry
I love the timed Q&A part, seeing all the players running from O to X is really cool. So…..my suggestion, make that one perpetually. The NPC just keeps asking questions and the players has a limit of 20 questions. So you can jump in at any time and start at any question and it would just kick you after you answered 20. In addition, make it limited to 60/80 questions a day or make it go on cooldown for a couple hours. So you have to wait to try again or they is a limit on how many questions you can answer a day. The other events could also just run on the hour.
In terms of the banners they should alternate S and A level characters. That way everyone’s happy. For cel/hypos they should be able to be pulled with diamonds. Like 5k for 10 pulls, something like that. Those two issues are the biggest right now in which they have not addressed unfortunately.
I don't know why they didn't do like other gacha game did, every banner is s rank/5 star and have an A rank/4 star character with it. Soren should be in alsa banner.
dunno if volkin wants to ever talk about leaks but pretty sure talene, tasi, ulmus, phraesto, sonja, nara + other unnamed characters were all datamined long ago so we can kinda know whose next
Data mining is a prohibited activity from AFK Journey's terms of use. I'd imagine reviewing that content would also go against their policy. I believe those videos get taken down and probably why he does not review that info.
4:00 i immediatly took note that the a rank might not be in the dream store until the next season started. This technically isnt as bad as it seem though since the dream realm currency income is winding down at this point so the ability to buy new a levels in the dream realm store is limit anyway.
Assuming that all heros from the previous season get added to their respective stores when the next season starts would be good though. As that would likely also mean all the current s ranks will also get added.
They’ve already said many times in the early days that this season will start 46 days after the server opens, but future seasons will start at the same time across all servers, and older seasons can be played in the temporal rift.
Need more guild activities or content, crossover guild ,guild war etc...
I would love to have a guild war where members from different guilds have to atk each other like in pvp. Then we have tournament for guild war as well
Another question, will they rework dream realm, people outside top 100 should be getting good rewards too.
During one of their questionaires during the Soren banner, they asked me why I didn't pull for Soren, with one of the options being that it'll be available after the banner ends. I did try to put custom feedback to mention that it's not a bad thing.
Was close to dropping the game, after they gave us these notices, ill hold on a little longer. Hopefully good changes comes around sooner.
I think we need a "hero release roadmap" of sorts, like you said we don't need all the details of each hero every release but something showing any more info than "hey, they're coming soon". If we had it say something like "Next banner is going to be (faction) and (class)", I think that would help a lot with trying to plan out when would be good times to save or not. Obviously the more info they give us, the better we as a community can plan, but if I'm struggling with building a certain team or maybe a faction tower, knowing that a new character of that faction is going to drop in 2 weeks would incentivize me to save and see if I want to pull it.
Would really like a rework of the featured banner. Something similar to HSR/GI 1 featured S rank and 3+ A ranks. Just having 1 A rank hero for a featured banner is not doing it for me.
13:30 wow that is something new for me, quit afk arena before that was introduced. IF they make something like this in afk journey AND remove the limit of how many battles you can try, it would be huge !!! some battles you have to fight them 20/30+ to get the perfect rng. imagine if we have that auto feature with auto retry. it would solve a fair bit of headaches lol
Only think I desagree is on the autobattle. I like it the way it is now. I think that on afk arena we just made comps that work 1 in 1000 times and just auto battle it... I kinda like to trying to find the right solution, as the game gives you the chance to swap placements and so... I guess if we could just autobattle we would be like on afk arena, hoping for good rng, thorans that work once in a million times and so...
We really need an event that atleast give us 1 S hero of our choice or make new something of arena shop like put another hero pool to the shop or put all non banner hero there
I did like this game and I was on a relaxed server. They changed my server grouping to ones with a lot of whales. Needless to say, there is no movement in ranks for anything. Due to this, I'm throwing in the towel.
One issue i was hoping they'd address is the fact that due to me being under lvled i basically get no rewards from the current primal lord. My heros just die instantly and i can't do enough damage to earn a chest. Mind you i finished the story and was able to reach the boss but its not enough to even earn 1 chest. So i was hoping theyd change it to have atleast 1 pity chest for atleast participating.
To be fair you had so much time to get to a decent level for it what level are you lol
@Malzov what is a decent lvl i thought that if i could finish the story ide atleast be able to do ok at it im not complaining that im low ranked its more that i just get nothing from it at all.
@@jonathanroessler4812 season has been out for a bit now, i am 350 now and i dont whale for essence
i remember the devs saying something BUT my question is, what will happen once the season ends? a full reset? or we get something back out of the TIME/MONEY!! spent to get that high resonance level?
cause resetting every time is demoralizing to say the least...
its every 4 months not 1 month that would be crazy
@@yami4593 it was a typo sorry, don't know why i wrote that lol. i wanted to write "time" but wrote "month", don't tell me why hahaha
double A banner back to back - fire whoever thought of that
I think if they are released Cel/Hypo in the furture I think they should make it possible to purchase Stargazer Orbs with some diamond daily like how they did with Time Emblem in Afk Arena.
this games been out for just a few months and it's already on a tight rope, many people quitting due to boredom, A level banners, seasonal power, bare minimal rewards, spamming paid packs causing the resonance level diff, i could go on. Game has too many issues and they're addressing things coming to the game rather than things already in the game that need improvement. Not a current good look but we'll see (dying for arcane labirynth rewards most of all)
I think the game is moving to a good direction. Eirron comps will have less of an impact from now on, considering that theres a huge difference between afk 500 and 600 stage in terms of power difference.
Homie you can get most S levels from a store. You are hyper focused on A levels being available but S level heroes are easy to get from arena store so the same logic follows. ;P I love this game. Love the heroes! LOVE the strategic gameplay. It has plenty of room for improvement but this game deserves more praise then its getting by a mile. Love your content. Wish people would focus a bit more on the beautiful art, music, sound, strategy, character usefulness, and other great things about AFKJ. Thanks again for all your great vids!
Astral Fair - as an Aussie who logs in 2-3 times a day, I have been able to participate in it ONCE lol. Glad they realised how bad it is!
u know what? give us Soren, give us the Tree. i wouldnt even be mad if i could use those gems to stargaze instead. this would literally fix so much for me :D
I can understand that they want to reduce the power limit between the players, but that's a big point for all "spenders" or "whales" not to invest in this game anymore because then I'll just be slowed down anyway like in the "Pre Season " Dust Limit. Please correct me if I misunderstand something.
They will spend in hypo
it's always a great thing to see developer of the game actually listening to the player and trying to improve it.
also, SCAMGAZE -_- where tf do we gonna get another scamgazing income
The loose character schedule is nice, and I think it's a great start. I think they could do top of the hour every 4 hours for the quiz and keep the others open 24/7. As someone who's played games that both time limit when you can do things as well as have long waiting periods between fresh releases and when they are available again/easier is usually quite long, and 3-4 months isn't very long/bad by comparison. (I have to wait a year for new releases to come back around in another game, as example)
The compressed leveling is a good idea in theory but it needs to have minimal impact on progression incentive. There needs to be incentive to push AFK stages, gold and higher gear rewards is not enough incentive, not even close. It needs to be power based incentive otherwise there is no point...especially if they remove the afk progress unlock on Dura Trial stages. The only place power has an unfair advantage is PvP - focus on minimizing power gap there, not PvE stuff.
I have a question, will we get some rewards at the end of the season and what will they be?
The season system is my biggest issue with the game... most people from my server are planning to quit the game when next season starts. This is because they dont like the idea to start over again and again...
Ya i dont understand why they came up with the season idea. Never seen a periodic resetting content like this in other games
@@bin9872I think Dragon Heir Silent Gods is like this.
Nothing is reset, your characters are still same resonance and same ascension level, you just unlock a new area and being 240 is like being level 1 for that area….
I will more than likely be quiting the game then as well for that exact reason. Never understood the attraction of resetting everything. Same reason I never touched seasons in Diablo, albeit different in some ways. Reset and try to get back to as strong as you were 4 months ago, rinse and repeat. Just makes me sick thinking all of my time goes to complete waste in the end. I mean it does anyways but, you know..
@@EXRDaBeasta as someone pointed out, not everything gets reset. just the season progress. youre still building your base levels and stuff. you don't lose any of the progress you made in the base game, just the seasonal stuff
Pioneer server: Don't know how it is in their other games, but the wording "WE would like to INVITE..." worries me. If they are the one choosing who can or cannot join then it could be a shitshow. CCs only care about making content out of it and most times they don't test things properly or overlook a lot of shit because they're, again, worried about making content.
So Dura's trials is staying then based on that line before Final Thoughts? I thought it was just a seasonal activity.
I don't mind not knowing what heroes come up. Gambling makes it all the more interesting.
do you even sleep mate, pushing out content like crazy
To display each player's strength in the season, as a guild leader, it's very frustrating to not know who is evolving their account with seasonal power rather than base power. Could you provide feedback?
having a max AFK xp per day even though you pushed more levels will mean there's no incentive for whales to spend money to have an advantage... maybe this is good for F2P players to compete but whales will be angry, me included
Season 2 should start at the same time for everyone unless you rolled on a new server within ~50 days of it launching?
This is bringing me memories from Dislyte. They never heard the community, did a lot of shitty stuff and then always "aologies", "we are going to hear your opinions" and lots of promises just not to do it again... (The flower boss was a raid announced for Dislyte, they started to work in this game and suddenly the boss never arrived and was shown in AFKJ ads, to say an example) I really hope I'm wrong and they don't continue doing as they did before...
Well, what about difficulty of current primal lord? As f2p i can't even get one chest from him, not even close to...
Well a day later, Ulmus is out and Soren is NOT in the dream store. So not looking good for A ranks. Of course, he could still get added later, but it seems like he would come now if were coming.
sadly its normal for gacha games to not announce their next hero because it will kill the excitement for the current hero. that is why most gacha games announce their next new characters 1-3 days before the current summon banners end.
But the biggest gacha games like Genshin and HSR do it way earlier. I feel like that would be easier for the consumer in deciding whether or not they want to spend their resources.
I think the heroes is a bit over kill for them? I havent played AFK Arena, I dont know how many characters are there, but it seems like AFK Journey is trying to push a lot of characters, which could backfire at them later?
Nah. Look at the game rn, pretty stale and boring. Many people quitting and also whales which can literally kill the game. Having a new unit or a hype unit can turn it around.
2:57 isnt that already a thing
I mean like full kit as oppose to trailer levels of insight
@@VolkinAFKJourney In the eyes of the company wouldn't that lessen the hype. I feel like pretty much all gacha games do a surprise teaser just days before release.
The AFK-Progress limit doesn't matter since VIP-levels exist. If you are VIP11 and get 30%-50% extra stuff you will always be ahead of f2p, no matter what. But this is obviously a concious p2w design choice to make them money.
I see in my Game progression:
I had time in the early Season so I reached top20-50 in early Dream Realm. The longer the Season went, the farther I fell behind, since my dust income just can't compete against someone with that much more gain. Now I barely get top 80 in Dream Realm.
Kinda late, at this point 80% of players in my guild and in friend list droped the game, on 2 servers i playing.
They gotta give us Shemira, Grezhul or Daimon
They need to stop selling dust in those flash sales pack. Selling seasonal lvl upgrade materials is annoying
I think they need to balance it carefully, if they make things even more competitive for dolphins due to trying to help F2P or people who play casually. They will lose a lot of people who pay in my opinion.
So I completely understand P2W feeling they need a reason to P2W, however it should never give you and advantage in pvp or leaderboards. P2W should only give you convenience and ease of access to progression. The purpose of P2W in my opinion is to ultimately save time, not pubstomp F2P players.
too many ppl leave before ever even reaching the season.
4:00 with that msg, im understanding that they won't put the new A rank heroes in the shop immediately but as the next season starts....
after rate up=same season immediately when next rate up starts
@@vogiassssss no im not talking about the wishlist but the shop. emporium shop, that we use the currencies from dream realm to buy A tier hero copies. i was writing about that last post.
they will be in the wishlist after the timer, we know of that.
@@vogiassssss im talking about the emporium shop, not the wishlist. even volkin said the same thing as i wrote but added maybe it was a bad translation/half message.
with how it's written and we will see as ulmus comes. if soren doesn't go in the emporium shop ( the shop of dream realm ), it will mean this msg in their post is true unfortunately. that would mean, new A tier heroes will come in the following season. let's hope it's not true.
WARNING ⚠️ Volkin READS ⚠️
I’ve hit pity for the last month on my main account. I stopped spending. This is ridiculous. I created a new account and it hasn’t hit pity for some time.
I filled out the survey that asked how frequently they should add new heroes and I said once a month…guess I was on the lower side of that one lol 😂 this is saying more than 2 a month sheeeesh f2p rip
Which survey?
they add celestials, but the summon stones for them are so little, I can't get a single one to mythic +...
Spend or wait. Ur choice
@@Skritz4HOF The problem is that there is nothing to spend, the celestial summon tickets are so rare, can't get a single hero at m+ for months
@@TheMrFelin That is a good point but bcz of that the values of celestials r skyrocketing and ofc they r meant for p2w
I'm a p2w myself but I have a f2p acc
The best route for them to take is to get 2x cele/hypo per month since we only get 1x
That way it could cut the waiting time for m+ in half whether it be guild coins or orbs.
More transparency on pull rates would be awesome. As is, most people you talk to seem to have zero faith in the numbers being accurate. If they're basing it on including the pity for the calculations, they need to say so. As is, it feels like a lie for a lot of players.
too little too late for me probably. Not really excited to log in these days and a general rule of thumb for me is to quit if it feels like a chore.
That's how they make their money. Imagine if someone spending $100+ of dollars and still get beat on by a F2P. Who would spend money and how would the game get funding.
correct, what i was saying is there is a balance between whales getting an advantage and F2P still being able to enjoy the game. both things need to happen to have a balanced game
but how can u make cross-server guilds without completely fucking up the guild modes for the newer servers? district based guilds are as good as it gets, guilds should never be global
If they don't introduce ways to roll for Scamgazer with diamonds, introducing 2-3 cel/hypos every 4 months is insane. Basically it's exclusively a whale game at this point.
Scamgazers yes. Diamonds? Not yet. It's too soon to add that but I agree that they need to add ways to get more scamgazers
From a whale perspective I'm good
But
For f2p perspective
I hope u guys can get like
2 cele/hypo per month whether it be scamgazers or guild coins
2 cele/hypo per month is alr good since u guys can progress faster and reduce the time
I agree but for diamonds it's too early.
I think they should make it 2 cele /hypo per month instead of one
I'm a whale so I'm good but
they need to add more guild coins or scamgazers
2 cele/hypo per month would be sufficient enough whether it become scamgazers or guild
I hope AFK Journey doesnt make same Mistake like Raid Shadow Legend.
Tons of trash champs for a lot money!!!
❤
Game was fun and had lots of potential. Now it’s boring. Everyday I log in to do the same few time consuming tasks. I barely “progress”. New characters take too long and are generally underwhelming. Game had so much potential but I think I should just quit now
Since you say you read these comments. Suggest something about how they give whales free hypo pulls in arena but the rest of us are buying stupid shit like Igor or brutus haha😂 ty
The timed events is so bad.. forcing players to login in a specific time just to participate is just not good.. if they want to improve that event just remove the time limits
They really dont know what happened in discord and facebook?
People lost the will to play because they keep releasing trash character in f2p banner.
Everyone have 100k diamonds at this points because they just can't pull for anything at this point.
Theres nothing entertain f2p players beside seeing good characters goes to stargazer over and over again.
Diamond is useless currency.
May be slightly unrelated, but it feels weird that there’s basically one good carry/formation option for F2P campaign (cecia), and nothing seems to come close in competing.
I don’t want them to nerf things, but maybe buff or rework others so there’s some variance between carries/lineups in the earlier game. (I’m new, so apologies if this sounds dumb to veterans)
as good as it is for little spenders it looks bad for big spenders. I dunno...
The New Max afk Progress is the biggest slap to the face ive seen. why bother pushing at all removing the whole point of the game just for f2p dont like the gap like dude lets face it... Ya never could or will stand a chance...losing the race these 1st roadblocks is guaranteed and every second from then is a slap to the face to the players by these fake roadblocks. But Hey wait for the kid all the way in the back to catch up.... LMAO for them to see everyone pass them again and again the split second the roadblocks r removed so that feeling of always behind happens multiple times the season and should feel even worse falling behind because every other player should of gotten more loot to have them push further while i get nothing for making them lose out... but you know whats gonna be even stronger the following season The Fking Battlepass LMAOOO great way of showing us how ya really feel lilith. Clowning on the heavily invested afk pusher accounts while they sacked they progress in other modes thanks a fuck ton.
Sadly all this came too late for me. I already asked for my money back and got it back so I'm done with the game. Too little content for Me personally
They cant, but they need to do something about this toxic crybaby community💀
p.s. stop asking for more and shorter unit releases. with how scarce resources are, yall are insane asking for that. (saw someone ask for a new hero every week and hypocelest every 2 weeks…huh?)
Nah. Ask for what you want. Communicate with developers. Ignore corporate white knights.
More reasons to not play anymore... Great Job from the developers.
Think my plan is to save for the next graveborne whenever that will be.
Thank you for everything 🤍🫶
