Why is no one talking about this game? It just came out, it's a spiritual successor to Punishing Gray Raven made by the same devs with a sci-fi Babylonian/Mesopotamian setting. Oh, and you can use this code to get 30 pulls:

I was going to post about the puppet loli but I cannot even play her becasue I'm still building her.
>>1768716
I think the problem is the dev team is clearly no experience with making PC clients, and even if the emulator was poised as an option (for cn only initially) the design of the events seems pretty mobile focused, atleast the musical one did, the others are more generic.
ultimately Black Beacon has shown me a great story isn't good enough to carry a game.

To this day I still don't understand why companies think its worth gambling with launches. This isn't 2015 anymore, there's literal dozens of games people can fuck off to if they're seeing red flags.
Retaining players to build up sunk cost fallacy and getting marketing via word of mouth you would think to be the top priority.

the guy paused any interest i had in the game and it killed the little momentum the game had. I had 50 in-game friends sending me the max of 15 gifts per day, guy launched, 1 week later i started receiving 5 gifts, now im at 6 with yuli, they all left

I'm still doing my dailies regularly, but the game is so stale it's unreal. And leveling is a fucking chore, the game will eos before I could get decent marks for Yuli. Why didnt I prefarm for her? Because I was still building glasses bitch. Also 1.1 homowank story was very weak and boring. A huge hecking nosedive, deserved death.

>>1775207
I thought no PC client was shitty and the emulation ban was retarded. But I guess what really fucked them was CN not having the emulation restriction and CN later getting more rewards.
Despite the publishers for region being different they were put into a point they had to watch CN like a hawk.
Cannot say I don't feel some sympathy for them, how was charles to know.

So much concern trolling. Just play the game and enjoy the time you have with it or piss off. Revenue chart posting means fuck all. Any game can EoS at any moment. I doubt anyone here is spending, regardless.
I won't pretend it's my favorite game or anything but it's also not dogshit either. It's got potential and I would like to see how it develops over time—whether it be EoS or not. I personally hope it continues to try and smooth things out because I have some pretty absurd luck which is why I decided to give it a shot. Ended up getting the pink slut from today's daily pull and ended up getting an achievement + a special name plate, too.
>>
>>1775966
>. It's got potential
Mediocre mixed gender quality gacha with homowank, no fanservice, romance,amazing story or an established IP, the game has all the hallmarks of failure.Unless it ditches men it will EoS within the year.
>>
>>1775966
Its not unreasonable to have concerns and its not "trolling" to have them.
I like to think I'm investing the time and stuff into dailies to level up these characters so eventually there might be a cool end game to use them in. It'd suck if it shuts down before that time ever comes.
>>
>>1775966
I wish I was concern trolling you anon. I like the game but see problems with it and worry about it's future as far as the west in concerned.
We got a survey today so maybe I'll put it in feedback.
any of you guys thought what you'll put into it?

Skill issue aside, the biggest thing for me was being gated by power level. You can clear the bare minimum if you invest heavily in your DPS which includes making sure you have maxed out ancient marks (which doesn't have to be optimal), weapons, etc. You can also carefully prioritize skills in your supports and/or breakers but I personally just invest into everything if possible.

Zero is my favorite character and part of this game. So many other characters are personality vacuums. The moment Enki showed up I started skipped cutscenes. Then we get to chinawank and it's the most booooring shit ever. Qing is a sexy librarian-type but her personality is boring and then Xin shows up and talks like a hillbilly.
Zero deserves a better game. Best character bar-none.

And on the other hand, lv60 Umbrella without any marks heals so fucking much with almost permanent uptime I can ungabunga floors 5 and 6 without paying much attention to recieved damage.

I agree. Although I haven't really built Yuli, her kit seems to focus more on safer, long-distance engagement and AOE damage. On the other hand, Li Chi sticks onto single targets and simply shreds them to pieces. However, his ultimate covers a very respectable frontal area damage cone in and of itself.

New Heavenly Mandate
No more Chinkslop allowed in Gachas. It was genuinely cool and exciting when I visited Liyue in Genshin because the ost was kino and it was the first game I played that explored such a region. In hindsight: it was carried by the novelty of its newness and the ost. It was boring as fuck with lots glazing over how great China is, people talking about nothing of importance (common for gachas), and Zhongli being an autistic jew. There was no Wuxia kino. It's boring, mundane bullshit and every Chinese gacha thinks it's a good idea to implement.
Unless you have a fucking writer/director who doesn't just go on about nothing and talk about rice fields don't do it. Please.

Am I going to miss anything if I don't complete the event? I don't mean resources, but like one time rewards, avatars, frames, illustrations, etc? I just finished Ch. 3 and there's no way I'm going to be able to go through it all before the event ends.
>>
>>
>>
I was playing through and reading/enjoying the story all the way up until I think it was the end of 1.0? It was the part we were going through china and fucking around with the sprinklers to stop the jade disease thing.
Then chapter 6 and 7 I kind of just blasted through while skipping because I really wanted the puppet girl's sig before the vulcan event went away.
Was the ch6 and 7 good and worth going back to read and enjoy? I honestly didn't give a fuck about the 1.1 villain dude he seemed like an asshole. And puppet girl didn't show up at all, but azi and xin and ming a cute and I saw them a lot during it. And Li Chi is okay
It sounds like the new 1.2 stuff will be a fresh slate in a new era/location.
>>
Yeah I kinda faded the back half of 1.0 and the entirety of 1.1. There might be some worthwhile moments but overall it did not interest me. Gacha writing tends to be shit and hearing someone talk like a country bumpkin while trying to do repairs didn't give me much confidence. Going to go into 1.2 with a clean slate.
Yuli has more story presence in 7 EX iirc

Dunno how I feel about her in combat just get. Rolled her weapon as well. Intend to get the blonde slut as well this patch and will get her weapon for the free from Vulcan's Grace.
I still don't even had the chance to fully build Yuli because I was busy building supports last patch.

What went so wrong?
There are parts of Black Beacon that are very nice. But there are others that are either ineffectual (copy-paste bullshit from other gachas) or downright abysmal that drag down the entire experience. Lack of a PC client and CN trying to kek global spiraling into a bad reputation are the main culprits. Not translating shit and not including JP voice acting for any of the newer characters only caused unrest.
If they tried to be more of their own thing instead of copying others I think the game would have found more success. The stage design and the template for content is stale. It should have been a Diablo gacha.

I like the first story they've done well mixing up Mediterranean bronze age all the way through early AD roman something i'd never think china of all place would care much less try to make their own spin based around that time period. Shame that they got stuck with mihoyo model every chinese gacha adopted means they don't have time to flesh out one part of the story and has to have reason for MC to travel all over the world.

I thought so too, and as minor as the censorship for her was, I figured it was a sign the game didn't want my ilk/wouldn't make fanservicey characters so I dropped. A while later they released a titcow though, but ONE chara isn't enough for me in a roster to return or care.
