Playing multiplayer feels unreal And I am saying this pre patch cause like, matchmaking didn't work well then. I didn't try after patch but I assumed it was better since I couldn't even get with a group before
Kept playing honest Percival without animation cancelled still performs pretty well. Ferris on the other side besides the SBA gauge exploit she dont have much going for her, wish Cygames would already rush the balance changes instead of waiting April for it.
It, literally does not halt your progress in this game. At all. You don't need to play online, and the MAJORITY of early game and endgame, is spent, offline. Story doesnt have online which would have been a blast if it did. Endgame is nothing but farming with the option of online and upgrading offline. The only true impact to the players is what the devs broke with matchmaking. Which even then, inviting people still works, so barely a problem. Exploits someone abuses from a PC you're probably never going to match with any day of the life of this game, will not impact your experience. And if you have encountered an exploiter, how exactly did it impact you? Did your game uninstall? Did you lose your save data? Did your pc receive a virus? Or did you go "ew" and go on about your day? If your argument is that it impacts the lifespan of the game because people will tire of it, no, the game just gets old fast because of it's lackluster implementation. Monster hunter world has not only exploits, but straight up hacks that DO break the game. You see people with armor from monsters they've never even defeated! Game still running fine years later. It's the interest in the game diminishing that kills the game, not exploits unless it's one so heinous the devs have to get to it immediately. If they can take their time and practically zero damage has been done in the meantime, it legit never mattered because people are going to play how they want to play no matter how hard the devs try. I love multiplayer, i have every character at max level, masteries, max terminus weapons from TOO MANY hours of grinding the same boring crap over and over because I! wanted to complete that virtual goal no matter how tedious and unfun it became a quarter of the way through. Yes lucidius was fun the first dozen times. After that? Hell no. The amount of runs just to not have a maxed sigil is insane. Im damn near at 5 or 600 hours, I can't remember. I love the series, but that will not stop me from being real. If you're going to make a game a second job for players, make it a fun grind. Its static, buggy, and so lifeless after day one. Day 3 tops, lol.
I think the game will die in next months. It's a finite game, when you get the terminus weapons and the sigils you want there is not much to do afterwards. It's a natural cycle of a game, but sounds odd to us because we get used to live service games for few years. I've been buried in work last few weeks and didn't fought Proto Bahamut, so I have a lot of "juice" to extract from the game yet. But eventually I will stop to play because of Dragon's Dogma 2, Elder Ring's DLC, Tales of Arise or other game. But I glad to Cygames for the new content to the game. I really expect new hunts and Raids, free or paid, to go back to the game time to time.
@@JRPGSamuraithat could change their mind honestly with how successful the game is usually devs make a mission to make a game plausible as much as possible when they see it actually succeeding plus there’s two big updates happening in April and may with two new characters and a new eaid
Yeah I once thought about this. I am one of the few people thinks that Cygames did not expect that this game will have this huge success. Not to the level that people are so eager for a weekly update.@@BIGSWOLEXL
I enjoyed the game, story was good, the combat was nice but I dislike difficulty tiers that equate to "Give it more health, damage and maybe a new attack or add multiple bosses together." I would of prefered unique encounters vs recycled fights in 3 tiers. I wish I could of quit in the first 2 hours instead of dumping 170 hours into it, at least I could of got my money back. I won't be coming back unless they add the full roster of characters or an Arena mode where you fight until you die in a rogue-lite where you might end up with 2 Luci's and Evel Blackwyrm or something.
This fight is epic, for shure. But for a quest that you have to clear hundereds of times to equip 4 characters, its a bit too annyoing. There is some skill issue involved ngl but still... I´d be fine with it, if at least one tear would be a guaranteed drop tho. Like; either make the quest hard, as they did with this one but then actually give me the loot for clearing, so i dont have to repeat it that much, or have me grind it hundereds of times but make it a bit less annoying and more consistant, like Proto Bhamut. Then there are the new sigils. You cant just ignore them but they eliminate the secondary traits on the dmg cap up sigils we had before, furthering the need for really specific V+ sigils for the remaining slots. Problem is: secondary traits are 100% RNG, with pretty asrtonomical odds. Being able to combine sigils (at treasure cost like Rupees+Bahamut drops+Pyet-A drops+Transmarvel stock, or something) is desperatly needet. Not to mention the whole War Elemental and Supplementary(V+!) thing... It also does not help that the devs killed matchmaking on PC right after a major update like this and just before the weekend, so we PC players are stuck with the AI for now. Everyone makes mistakes, but with someting like this, you have to fix it, even if that means working on the weekend. I am no stranger to "the Grind" and enjoy it fair bit (i play the gbf gacha game, Warthunder, CS ranked,...) but there comes a point where the Grind and the joy of progression just turns to annoying work and with Lucilius GBF:Relink is reaching that point for me. Dont get me wrong, I like this game and see that a lot of effort has been put into it. I do want to keep playing. But with everything mentioned above, my excitement for this update has turned to dissapointment and i am actually a bit pissed. Hopefully the devs will address at least some of these things, that would be great. Cheers -blob For context: I have about ~200hrs of play time, all Terminus weapons unlocked, 4 of them awakened and 4 Characters at dmg cap. Zeta main. Have beaten Lucilius once with the AI. So i am not pulling thus compleatly out of my butt, even tho i am not good at this game. Also sorry for that spelling, as a wise man probably once said: -"I do not the engrish."
I have to agree. Drops should be more consistent or they need to adjust his fight just a bit. I do think he does too much damage with certain skills. I like the idea that's he's supposed to be a mechanic heavy fight but it feels like they made more then just that.
And after the patch, other chars just become the new meta. No difference whatsoever. Shouldn't have nerfed anyone. Just buff those that are too weak to be viable if they really have a problem.
I find it a good first step. Now that all the bugs are out of the way cygames can focus on balancing the numbers. It could have been a far bigger disaster if they tried to adjust the numbers while they are fixing all the bugs that plagued the characters. People need to stop dooming games where devs are just try to fix them. You can't really blame them for that. The "nerfs" here where indirectly caused by fixing the bugs. So let's wait and see before we start throwing a tantrum.
I think nerfs to Rackam,Ferry and Percival are fine,I play both Rackam and Ferry and the idea of just doing one thing over and over again feels boring too me,I get this game is a gring that much is true but im also the kind of person that wants a challenge, Luciilus being added as a boss is both cool and a challange,I do hope they fix the online issue,I myself ran into it but not as much,I enjoy this game and can,t wait to see what is in store
I main Zeta but also use Ferry and I agree jumping up and down might speed it up but how boring I’d rather this for now because then the devs can see who genuinely needs changing and can do this in the future… although tbh I hate the whole buffing/nerfing thing it can ruin so many amazing games.
The jumping rackam was overtuned but now the shotgun playstyle is completely dead because regular shots are faster. What’s the point? There should be a good middle ground.
I dont mind the item packs at all, because this game's rng hates me, and was the only way i could get a war elemental. STILL have not gotten one otherwise.
Any update is great. It's a full price, single player, complete content game. It's not live service. Very lucky to get anything and credit to the dev team for releasing free content. Content is not a right, it's a bonus. We got more value already than what we paid for. Stuff ain't free my dude.
The Raid overall is ok. Its way to much of a difficulty spike, even if for some ppl its easy it actually isnt, and doesnt give us enough rewards for each clear. The sigils suck as having to have 2 is bs for so little of a boost not to mention its a damn sigil and azurites, which have only ONE use, cant be used for no good reason. As for the balance patch idc for animation cancels and more often than not they are good things to have so "fixing" them is just stupid to me. Rackam and Percival had major bugs that needed to be fixed but I never saw anything wrong with Ferry as she just doesnt feel as powerful as id like. They NEEDED to add more than just this one quest and im baffled that they didnt and this game is really going to start dying if they dont add at least another 25 to 50 quests with the april and may updates and we need outfits for characters and drop rate buffs and transmute and curio buffs way more than upgrade packs. Seriously theyre nice since prismatic slime dont spawn as much as they should but id rather the game be reasonably rewarding than this ridiculously grindy bs.
I kinda don’t like the new sigils. I lost all my cooldown and uplift so my dmg cap is up but I’m doing less damage on the score attack training dummy. I don’t think we’re supposed to use 4 of the new sigils just 2. I’m most likely will only use 2 gamma or 2 alpha. I want my cooldowns back. I can see now the usefulness of the character sigils with cooldowns or uplift
It needs a lot of testing since every character works differently. I find the new Sigils cool but mostly its a distraction. But will definitely use 1 or 2.
Lucilius fight is fun. The game really needed a mildly challenging fight to try new characters in, Lucilius scratches that itch. Now if only the matchmaking worked... Not a huge fan of the loot ruining build diversity, and probably won't use the sigils on main (or maybe only 2), until I get SupV+ (like that would ever happen). But I'll farm the sigils for my AIs who don't need than many defensives.
To add to the point of balance. I’m m also happy some things were fixed but you have to understand make by these changes and going back to the “intended way” results in more than dps losses, it changes how people have perceived characters from day 1. When a bug or unintentional cap was made to high and it’s the only way to keep up with charlotta and lancelot then I think your ideas of balance are way off mark, especially when both have some of the highest dps clears that others had to use work arounds to match.
Yeah I'm still struggling to get anything via Quick Match on Steam. Every once in a while it'll work, but basically I'll try it three times before I just go to the session finder or play Closed.
Skipping their intro scenes would be ideal tbh. The overdrives are cool to see from bosses for an anime stand point but they aren’t that long to make a big fuss
@@JRPGSamurai lmao I’m with you I honestly with the Lucious cutscenes can be skipped more so there’s like three for absolutely no reason 😭😭I’ll rather just watch it from our characters POV
- The new boss fight is cool and finally is a little more mechanically challenging. Here's hoping that they add more bosses that demand more tank and support roles for their mechanics. - The new sigils are interesting but ultimately a little unnecessary. The drop rates are still as awful as ever. They need to fix that ASAP. - I don't mind some of the nerfs, this game was already far too easy, but I will miss the animation cancels, it made the game more dynamic. - They need to make it a little easier to obtain secondary traits and all, ESPECIALLY now that Alpha, Beta and Gamma will be pretty much required, it makes the farming for the "right" sigils even more demanding. - I'm liking the roadmap so far, even though it feels a little bumpy. The grinding in this game is actually good and fun, but the amount of materials required to minmax and the drop rates (especially the "not guaranteed" items) are absurdly brutal, which can be discouraging. - Those who are saying that the game "will die"... I mean, it's not a gacha, it's not live-service, you can play this game completely at your pace, you don't need to adhere to FOMO mindset and play like a zombie (those who say that this game forces you to keep playing like a brain rotted zombie every day are being dishonest, because there's nothing in Relink that punishes the player for not playing at a daily pace). This game isn't a huge sandbox or a multi playthrough RPG, so that's bound to happen. People will stop and come back later. I'm doing exactly that. Will come back in a few weeks and grind again a little bit. It's one of the reasons as well that I appreciate that this game allows you to do difficult stuff like Lucilius with the AI, they made them play the boss competently (most of the times). - And most importantly, FIX THE FUCKING MATCHMAKING Cygames and elimiate region-lock crap. I'm from Brazil and I can't find a single player anymore in most maps, I only play with my friends or solo now. Currently have 4 maxed characters with terminus and sigils, almost finishing my fifth. I haven't started the Lucilius sigil grind yet, only did the fight. I'm still going to invest my time in this game, as I'm enjoying it and I'll remain optimistic about future updates. I really hope they don't fumble.
Finished 1 set if sigils. Im done. This fight is so fing tedious. Its not even fun. Just a bunch of blinding flashy crap spamed all over the screen. Im glad buffs matter now cuz of the new sigils, but f this fight. (And damn them for nerfing ferry and zeta)
I am not sure if this is related to the patch, but i open 120 Curios in one shot and I received 3 war elemental. Am not complaining at all 😂. I only had one before.
It’s the war elemental+ and the sup dmg + that’s are hard to get. You get a war elemental in your first 400-500 curios at proud mode. By the time I got 7 terminus weapons I had 3 supV and 1 war elemental
@@Gudu_88 I don’t have sup plus or war element plus just the regular sigil. I think they are a myth for glitchers. You gotta open thousands of curios to get one for sure
Yea my AI team can clear in 7-10min however played full coop run completed in 5min and some change but lets b real most ppl rn are certainly cheating with modded sigils
@@jimjones-zx8ih theres a lot of cheaters with ABG +14 in in day 1 of patch they already was doing YT videos and guides. I don't care about cheaters, this game has no pvp and Cy dont even care, let they cheat, or do like i do, go offline mode.
@@vand.bastellithe game is technically just a jrpg not a mmo so people won’t get banned for cheating for what could just be a single player game in hindsight lol. Sucks but oh well
lol that’s stupid to say, AI revives slow they don’t sprint towards you and they never consistently attack they attack in short intervals. Unlike players who try to keep as much uptime as possible. Just luck up with good people
its not MMO. its not live-service game either. its a Finite game. once you finish the story, done all quests, got your terminus, and farmed enough sigils, then your good. move on to another game. its the same type of games like FF series(Except 14), or tales games, or nier series, wherein you finish and complete the game then done. move on.
why transmute was left untouched, who knows their philosophy of grind to keep players hooked instead of grind because it's fun is ridiculous shame because just about everything else is great
It's an ok update to me. I'm glad the bugs and exploits were addressed. when it comes to content, it's not the best. I was hoping Lucilius would have introduced us to the next difficulty in the game and added a new weapon for each character. The sigils though have power, and really boring and just inflate things more. Very interested to see what they do for 1.2 in regards to balance as this patch seemed more focus on bug fixes and hopefully it'll stop all those people who thing the world is burning because they cant skill cancel abuse anymore.
''hopefully it'll stop all those people who think the world is burning because they cant skill cancel abuse anymore.'' sounds like you're crying about people having found a fun and faster way to fight bosses even though it literally helps you aswell since if your team mates are better that means better chances at beating the bosses but instead you want them to have to use the same time as everyone else that doesn't use the exploits because you're probably salty that some of them got better results using the exploits (wich don't even help all that much) while you're seemingly to proud to use them yourself so now you have an issue with it
Honestly it should of selected 1 or even up to 3 weapons per character and added ASCENSION variation options. like one for the critical chance specific one and one for the weak point damage ones, those would of been an easy way out since it mostly just needs a glowing effect and name change on the model and slap some extra effects while making use of lucy`s materials for the final weapon awaken portions. If they add an entire new weapon then that would come with things like an entirely new set of effect combinations, collection bonus and moar.
@@raymondcampusano2991 animation canceling is still in the game, it's just you cant animation cancel a move, get the bonus as if you used, while the skill doesnt go on a cd. that right there is not an intended design
I hate the regionlock can't find games if I don't change the download region from steam, and if they add like a fight like this every 1 month that takes 100 Times to farm because the drop rate is crap, I think this game is done.
I personally think, it will not die easily but I am really hoping they give us something to do other than the current ones and yeah def fix the matchmaking.
the boss fight itself is the only good thing about this patch,those new sigils are a mistake and are not needed i dont like how they kill the diversity,this patch is a disappointment excluding the fight itself
But should put their priority straight.. its not a competitive game and your high DPS don't give you any better rewards individually... So some quality of life and basic features should have been addressed first like "transmute all" ... Or some characters that are lacking in hud accessibility like Narmaya butterflies count that should have already been there since launch...And others... Its like they never played a game in their entire lives...
I love the game i even grind even though im not the grinder type i think the game like it is now will be good for a while BUT if the devs dont give some good qol and big updates it will be dying
srly the most thing i hate about this game is rng drops from bosses! wtf at least give us 1 tear for each clear! i been running 20 runs! 0 tear!, don't fking use rng as a mechanic to make players play more!
Basically how i feel with the dragons and punching a certain ox-man and sassy little potato when i need those damn mats for pushing weapon awakens and moar. Also gonna be fun familarizing myself with other units now to get thar weapon awakens accessed, since im gonna have to drop ferry off my list of units to prepare. Well, i still gotta work on Siegfried and moar, gotta get that damage cut bopping nootie.
As someone with complete upgraded alpha and beta(console) (captain main) it was fun wasn't to upset about the drops since I had fun playing a character I enjoy
Dark Rapture (Hard) is just a raid, like how they implemented it in Relink. This is post 000, where Lucilius is still imprisoned in another dimension to this day, so they expect you to already know him as it’s just for fanservice. Sandy will get more lore when he’s playable with the Fate Episode (current Sandy has accomplished a lot since the Event, like fighting alien sharks and fighting the true Phoenix.)
@@cranesilentlyplays8084 but I have no idea other than anime sooooo. They should sprinkled in a bit more. So they only want old gbf players to know then?
Supplementary damage is too much of a game breaker that i still say it should of got reworked to be capped to level 15 just like war elemental and Stout heart are. That way people are forced to actually build more flexibily. Also doesnt help that all 3 sigils basically require 2 of the SAME copy to function well, where its still a case of diminishing returns past level 15. Should of been having 2 DIFFERENT sigils out of the 3 to activate both of the level 30 effects together. That way people would absolutely feast on Alpha+Gamma and Beta+Gamma. Because gutting utility to survive thru attacks is never a freaking good idea. Especially since a single use of a `benefit` is never worth a continuous bonus. Which even if the so called selective extra damage cap is apparently barely much of a overall damage increase, which at that point your better off just getting a damage cap V with any of the other utility effect you can shove on instead for indirect dmg increase, like cascade or quick cooldown or even stun power. Just like how people would not want to drop Guts, Auto revive, potion hoarder, improved dodge and maybe fight or flight+dodge invincibility extender.
Its like more than a 100 times that I mentioned that they really should work Supp Damage and Damage Cap trait ceiling. I would really love to try other build but sigh... almost half of the slots has been filled most of the time. i am just really hoping we will have this kind of changes.@@BladeSerph
Honestly I hope they do not add another weapon line… I have maxed over half the terminus weapons and the grind has been unreal. I would feel like it would just be a big ol FU from Psygames.
Hence why i say they should just add more weapon awakenings for other kinds of weapons. No collection bonus, other weapons could get its attack/hp values bumped up a couple of thousands o digits and they get a +5 damage cap and bump up thar effects to give more offensive option alternatives to work with then Terminus. Course if they lock those behind Lucy, then i think people will likely not want to grind them since you need terminus to likely stonks in lucy due to it likely having way more damage value then the current awakening weapons act with its sizable hp & atk sigil effects and +5 damage cap, serving more as a entry-way stick to get thru proud quest honestly.
@@BladeSerph nah having the terminus weapons is already a triumph over other weapons even if it isn’t upgraded lmao. They need to add another weapon line period next raid boss should have one
its not MMO. its not live-service game either. its a Finite game. once you finish the story, done all quests, got your terminus, and farmed enough sigils, then your good. move on to another game. its the same type of games like FF series(Except 14), or tales games, or nier series, wherein you finish and complete the game then done. move on. the game already is a success. if you think this game is an MMO or a live-service game then you just proved that you are a stupid person. have you ever played a AAA Game? should already expect what happens after you finish the game
Lol well im on ps5 and i help ppl complete lucy an photo every day for about 5hrs an on weekends all day matching almost instantly so I definitely don’t think its dead

So true its annoying to farm it but its a fun fight i hope they increase the drop rate
Def a fun fight. yeah I just hope they increase the drop rate.@@8bitcorgix
And after the patch, other chars just become the new meta. No difference whatsoever. Shouldn't have nerfed anyone. Just buff those that are too weak to be viable if they really have a problem.
I find it a good first step. Now that all the bugs are out of the way cygames can focus on balancing the numbers. It could have been a far bigger disaster if they tried to adjust the numbers while they are fixing all the bugs that plagued the characters. People need to stop dooming games where devs are just try to fix them. You can't really blame them for that. The "nerfs" here where indirectly caused by fixing the bugs. So let's wait and see before we start throwing a tantrum.
I think nerfs to Rackam,Ferry and Percival are fine,I play both Rackam and Ferry and the idea of just doing one thing over and over again feels boring too me,I get this game is a gring that much is true but im also the kind of person that wants a challenge, Luciilus being added as a boss is both cool and a challange,I do hope they fix the online issue,I myself ran into it but not as much,I enjoy this game and can,t wait to see what is in store
I main Zeta but also use Ferry and I agree jumping up and down might speed it up but how boring I’d rather this for now because then the devs can see who genuinely needs changing and can do this in the future… although tbh I hate the whole buffing/nerfing thing it can ruin so many amazing games.
You have to position Rackam just right to get the best out of his shotgun. Now lancelot just become the new meta anyway.
@howardlam6181 well good thing I was just thinking working on him then
Ferry optimal dps is still areal barrage.
So you still have to do that but no atb bonus.
The jumping rackam was overtuned but now the shotgun playstyle is completely dead because regular shots are faster. What’s the point? There should be a good middle ground.
I dont mind the item packs at all, because this game's rng hates me, and was the only way i could get a war elemental. STILL have not gotten one otherwise.
Any update is great. It's a full price, single player, complete content game. It's not live service. Very lucky to get anything and credit to the dev team for releasing free content. Content is not a right, it's a bonus. We got more value already than what we paid for. Stuff ain't free my dude.
The Raid overall is ok. Its way to much of a difficulty spike, even if for some ppl its easy it actually isnt, and doesnt give us enough rewards for each clear. The sigils suck as having to have 2 is bs for so little of a boost not to mention its a damn sigil and azurites, which have only ONE use, cant be used for no good reason. As for the balance patch idc for animation cancels and more often than not they are good things to have so "fixing" them is just stupid to me. Rackam and Percival had major bugs that needed to be fixed but I never saw anything wrong with Ferry as she just doesnt feel as powerful as id like. They NEEDED to add more than just this one quest and im baffled that they didnt and this game is really going to start dying if they dont add at least another 25 to 50 quests with the april and may updates and we need outfits for characters and drop rate buffs and transmute and curio buffs way more than upgrade packs. Seriously theyre nice since prismatic slime dont spawn as much as they should but id rather the game be reasonably rewarding than this ridiculously grindy bs.
Does it have multi-player? Can I play with my friends in this game? If so how many friends?
Yes you can, you can play with your three other friends.
I kinda don’t like the new sigils. I lost all my cooldown and uplift so my dmg cap is up but I’m doing less damage on the score attack training dummy. I don’t think we’re supposed to use 4 of the new sigils just 2. I’m most likely will only use 2 gamma or 2 alpha. I want my cooldowns back. I can see now the usefulness of the character sigils with cooldowns or uplift
It needs a lot of testing since every character works differently. I find the new Sigils cool but mostly its a distraction. But will definitely use 1 or 2.
Yea uplift cascade quick cooldown are very important
Unless we will be blessed with Supp V+ which is abysmal. @@jimjones-zx8ih
Lucilius fight is fun. The game really needed a mildly challenging fight to try new characters in, Lucilius scratches that itch.
Now if only the matchmaking worked...
Not a huge fan of the loot ruining build diversity, and probably won't use the sigils on main (or maybe only 2), until I get SupV+ (like that would ever happen). But I'll farm the sigils for my AIs who don't need than many defensives.
I like how everyone says the fight with the boss was fun or challenging but they have only done it in co-op lmao
To add to the point of balance. I’m m also happy some things were fixed but you have to understand make by these changes and going back to the “intended way” results in more than dps losses, it changes how people have perceived characters from day 1. When a bug or unintentional cap was made to high and it’s the only way to keep up with charlotta and lancelot then I think your ideas of balance are way off mark, especially when both have some of the highest dps clears that others had to use work arounds to match.
Yeah I'm still struggling to get anything via Quick Match on Steam. Every once in a while it'll work, but basically I'll try it three times before I just go to the session finder or play Closed.
Same. Just use party finder instead. Sigh..
Yup. Just search for a room and join that. Very easy.
I just want to be able to skip boss power up scenes. Those animation takes a lot of time!! 😤😤
Yeah kinda long man, especially if you've seen it a lot of time XD
Skipping their intro scenes would be ideal tbh. The overdrives are cool to see from bosses for an anime stand point but they aren’t that long to make a big fuss
Yeah my goodness its like, I've seen like over a hundred now lol@@BIGSWOLEXL
@@JRPGSamurai lmao I’m with you I honestly with the Lucious cutscenes can be skipped more so there’s like three for absolutely no reason 😭😭I’ll rather just watch it from our characters POV
Yeah haha@@BIGSWOLEXL
- The new boss fight is cool and finally is a little more mechanically challenging. Here's hoping that they add more bosses that demand more tank and support roles for their mechanics.
- The new sigils are interesting but ultimately a little unnecessary. The drop rates are still as awful as ever. They need to fix that ASAP.
- I don't mind some of the nerfs, this game was already far too easy, but I will miss the animation cancels, it made the game more dynamic.
- They need to make it a little easier to obtain secondary traits and all, ESPECIALLY now that Alpha, Beta and Gamma will be pretty much required, it makes the farming for the "right" sigils even more demanding.
- I'm liking the roadmap so far, even though it feels a little bumpy. The grinding in this game is actually good and fun, but the amount of materials required to minmax and the drop rates (especially the "not guaranteed" items) are absurdly brutal, which can be discouraging.
- Those who are saying that the game "will die"... I mean, it's not a gacha, it's not live-service, you can play this game completely at your pace, you don't need to adhere to FOMO mindset and play like a zombie (those who say that this game forces you to keep playing like a brain rotted zombie every day are being dishonest, because there's nothing in Relink that punishes the player for not playing at a daily pace). This game isn't a huge sandbox or a multi playthrough RPG, so that's bound to happen. People will stop and come back later. I'm doing exactly that. Will come back in a few weeks and grind again a little bit. It's one of the reasons as well that I appreciate that this game allows you to do difficult stuff like Lucilius with the AI, they made them play the boss competently (most of the times).
- And most importantly, FIX THE FUCKING MATCHMAKING Cygames and elimiate region-lock crap. I'm from Brazil and I can't find a single player anymore in most maps, I only play with my friends or solo now.
Currently have 4 maxed characters with terminus and sigils, almost finishing my fifth. I haven't started the Lucilius sigil grind yet, only did the fight. I'm still going to invest my time in this game, as I'm enjoying it and I'll remain optimistic about future updates. I really hope they don't fumble.
Finished 1 set if sigils. Im done. This fight is so fing tedious. Its not even fun. Just a bunch of blinding flashy crap spamed all over the screen. Im glad buffs matter now cuz of the new sigils, but f this fight. (And damn them for nerfing ferry and zeta)
I am not sure if this is related to the patch, but i open 120 Curios in one shot and I received 3 war elemental. Am not complaining at all 😂. I only had one before.
It’s the war elemental+ and the sup dmg + that’s are hard to get. You get a war elemental in your first 400-500 curios at proud mode. By the time I got 7 terminus weapons I had 3 supV and 1 war elemental
@@meyanlewis9166 War elemental plus ???? are u sure my friend..
@@Gudu_88 I don’t have sup plus or war element plus just the regular sigil. I think they are a myth for glitchers. You gotta open thousands of curios to get one for sure
@@meyanlewis9166there isn’t a war elemental plus yet
Nice video and advice ❤
Glad you enjoyed it.
I’m soooo tired of grinding. I moved on to FFVII Rebirth.
Same! After I finished upgrading 12 terminus weapons I felt burnt out.
My game too! But currently stuck at GBFR XD
AI is better than most of players, thats why i go lucillus in closed mode.
If you find good people though, it will be much faster, I am seeing faster clear runs now.
Yea my AI team can clear in 7-10min however played full coop run completed in 5min and some change but lets b real most ppl rn are certainly cheating with modded sigils
@@jimjones-zx8ih theres a lot of cheaters with ABG +14 in in day 1 of patch they already was doing YT videos and guides. I don't care about cheaters, this game has no pvp and Cy dont even care, let they cheat, or do like i do, go offline mode.
@@vand.bastellithe game is technically just a jrpg not a mmo so people won’t get banned for cheating for what could just be a single player game in hindsight lol. Sucks but oh well
lol that’s stupid to say, AI revives slow they don’t sprint towards you and they never consistently attack they attack in short intervals. Unlike players who try to keep as much uptime as possible. Just luck up with good people
Definitely dying, it’s on them for having a region locked matchmaking and when you get end game weapons and equipment it barely does anything.
its not MMO. its not live-service game either. its a Finite game. once you finish the story, done all quests, got your terminus, and farmed enough sigils, then your good. move on to another game. its the same type of games like FF series(Except 14), or tales games, or nier series, wherein you finish and complete the game then done. move on.
why transmute was left untouched, who knows
their philosophy of grind to keep players hooked instead of grind because it's fun is ridiculous
shame because just about everything else is great
It's coming in a later patch
@@DavidWoodMusic confirmed?
Yeap, I have shown it in the video.@@TeemoAcademy
It's an ok update to me. I'm glad the bugs and exploits were addressed.
when it comes to content, it's not the best. I was hoping Lucilius would have introduced us to the next difficulty in the game and added a new weapon for each character. The sigils though have power, and really boring and just inflate things more.
Very interested to see what they do for 1.2 in regards to balance as this patch seemed more focus on bug fixes and hopefully it'll stop all those people who thing the world is burning because they cant skill cancel abuse anymore.
''hopefully it'll stop all those people who think the world is burning because they cant skill cancel abuse anymore.''
sounds like you're crying about people having found a fun and faster way to fight bosses even though it literally helps you aswell since if your team mates are better that means better chances at beating the bosses but instead you want them to have to use the same time as everyone else that doesn't use the exploits because you're probably salty that some of them got better results using the exploits (wich don't even help all that much) while you're seemingly to proud to use them yourself so now you have an issue with it
The animation cancel added more depth to the characters. They should have left that.
Honestly it should of selected 1 or even up to 3 weapons per character and added ASCENSION variation options. like one for the critical chance specific one and one for the weak point damage ones, those would of been an easy way out since it mostly just needs a glowing effect and name change on the model and slap some extra effects while making use of lucy`s materials for the final weapon awaken portions.
If they add an entire new weapon then that would come with things like an entirely new set of effect combinations, collection bonus and moar.
@@raymondcampusano2991 animation canceling is still in the game, it's just you cant animation cancel a move, get the bonus as if you used, while the skill doesnt go on a cd. that right there is not an intended design
@@BladeSerph in regards to your first point, im hoping they'll add ascension variants of them too.
I hate the regionlock can't find games if I don't change the download region from steam, and if they add like a fight like this every 1 month that takes 100 Times to farm because the drop rate is crap, I think this game is done.
I personally think, it will not die easily but I am really hoping they give us something to do other than the current ones and yeah def fix the matchmaking.
I doubt the game will die just from grinding lmao. Can’t have everything spoonfed. Be glad nothing is locked behind a gacha system
100%@@BIGSWOLEXL
the boss fight itself is the only good thing about this patch,those new sigils are a mistake and are not needed i dont like how they kill the diversity,this patch is a disappointment excluding the fight itself
Agree.
wow a single player game is "dying" LOL
Was with a Ferry on Proto and they still did 15mil and wrecked everything.
Cool cool
Wasn't me lol. I only did 7mil with Eugen. Whoever that Ferry player was, was amazing.
I wonder what's the new rotation for ferry haha!@@glenmcl
Didn't like the new boss, I'm coming back when Tweyen and Sandalfon come...
Match making broken since patch for me on pc- I’m pretty pissed off
But should put their priority straight.. its not a competitive game and your high DPS don't give you any better rewards individually... So some quality of life and basic features should have been addressed first like "transmute all" ... Or some characters that are lacking in hud accessibility like Narmaya butterflies count that should have already been there since launch...And others... Its like they never played a game in their entire lives...
I can totally relate on addiotnal huds. Its really hard to check the butterflies now and then, especially I main her.
I love the game i even grind even though im not the grinder type i think the game like it is now will be good for a while BUT if the devs dont give some good qol and big updates it will be dying
srly the most thing i hate about this game is rng drops from bosses! wtf at least give us 1 tear for each clear! i been running 20 runs! 0 tear!, don't fking use rng as a mechanic to make players play more!
Basically how i feel with the dragons and punching a certain ox-man and sassy little potato when i need those damn mats for pushing weapon awakens and moar.
Also gonna be fun familarizing myself with other units now to get thar weapon awakens accessed, since im gonna have to drop ferry off my list of units to prepare. Well, i still gotta work on Siegfried and moar, gotta get that damage cut bopping nootie.
As someone who has the complete upgraded Alpha and Gamma, no it's not worth the pain
As someone with complete upgraded alpha and beta(console) (captain main) it was fun wasn't to upset about the drops since I had fun playing a character I enjoy
too many games .
We really need a better sorting for sigils and stones.
Also I expected much more with the story of Lucilus/sandalphone.
Dark Rapture (Hard) is just a raid, like how they implemented it in Relink. This is post 000, where Lucilius is still imprisoned in another dimension to this day, so they expect you to already know him as it’s just for fanservice. Sandy will get more lore when he’s playable with the Fate Episode (current Sandy has accomplished a lot since the Event, like fighting alien sharks and fighting the true Phoenix.)
@@cranesilentlyplays8084 but I have no idea other than anime sooooo. They should sprinkled in a bit more. So they only want old gbf players to know then?
It’s supposed to be a grind monster hunter type game if you want story play the other granblues literally
and one more thing .. all lucilius curios should have the chance of a supp+ drop
Good idea. Compensation for not giving us more weapons.
Supplementary damage is too much of a game breaker that i still say it should of got reworked to be capped to level 15 just like war elemental and Stout heart are.
That way people are forced to actually build more flexibily.
Also doesnt help that all 3 sigils basically require 2 of the SAME copy to function well, where its still a case of diminishing returns past level 15. Should of been having 2 DIFFERENT sigils out of the 3 to activate both of the level 30 effects together.
That way people would absolutely feast on Alpha+Gamma and Beta+Gamma. Because gutting utility to survive thru attacks is never a freaking good idea.
Especially since a single use of a `benefit` is never worth a continuous bonus. Which even if the so called selective extra damage cap is apparently barely much of a overall damage increase, which at that point your better off just getting a damage cap V with any of the other utility effect you can shove on instead for indirect dmg increase, like cascade or quick cooldown or even stun power.
Just like how people would not want to drop Guts, Auto revive, potion hoarder, improved dodge and maybe fight or flight+dodge invincibility extender.
Its like more than a 100 times that I mentioned that they really should work Supp Damage and Damage Cap trait ceiling. I would really love to try other build but sigh... almost half of the slots has been filled most of the time. i am just really hoping we will have this kind of changes.@@BladeSerph
Honestly I hope they do not add another weapon line… I have maxed over half the terminus weapons and the grind has been unreal. I would feel like it would just be a big ol FU from Psygames.
All they have to do is make mats easier to obtain and it’ll be fine. Centrum drop rates are sad as hell
@@rejxdmouse not just those, but you need at least 3 lunary cells(awefull to farm) and 3 horns of Bohomut.
Hence why i say they should just add more weapon awakenings for other kinds of weapons. No collection bonus, other weapons could get its attack/hp values bumped up a couple of thousands o digits and they get a +5 damage cap and bump up thar effects to give more offensive option alternatives to work with then Terminus.
Course if they lock those behind Lucy, then i think people will likely not want to grind them since you need terminus to likely stonks in lucy due to it likely having way more damage value then the current awakening weapons act with its sizable hp & atk sigil effects and +5 damage cap, serving more as a entry-way stick to get thru proud quest honestly.
@@BladeSerph ya know that’s an interesting idea!
@@BladeSerph nah having the terminus weapons is already a triumph over other weapons even if it isn’t upgraded lmao. They need to add another weapon line period next raid boss should have one
ded game
Ok big guy
its not MMO. its not live-service game either. its a Finite game. once you finish the story, done all quests, got your terminus, and farmed enough sigils, then your good. move on to another game. its the same type of games like FF series(Except 14), or tales games, or nier series, wherein you finish and complete the game then done. move on. the game already is a success. if you think this game is an MMO or a live-service game then you just proved that you are a stupid person. have you ever played a AAA Game? should already expect what happens after you finish the game
Lol well im on ps5 and i help ppl complete lucy an photo every day for about 5hrs an on weekends all day matching almost instantly so I definitely don’t think its dead
