That last render actually looks like a real model made out of marzipan or something, hahaha. Love the texture work.
I think January was the last time they mentioned that. It's probably gonna show up out of nowhere
Okada mentioned a crafting and dismantling weapon revamp in the Player Feedback Post that was posted on May 14th, so it's definitely something they're working on right now.
Thanks!
Thank you!
We need find someone with a 3D printer and make it real
...if you're overwhelmed by it in general, I don't think that's necessarily going to be affected by what they'll probably be doing? If you're at endgame, all you need to think about is 6* and to a lesser extent HDs; if you're not, you just need to think more about Chimera weapons. There are requirements for making these, but they are not particularly complicated imo. If the issue is seeing all the possible weapons listed and not knowing what to make, it's definitely frustrating that it's like that, but you can actually just ignore like 95% of the Void weapons (anything that isn't from Manticore/Chimera/dragons) and be fine.
For me, the issue with the crafting system currently is just that there's nothing to do with my rupies except dismantle things (sometimes after going out of my way to craft them for requirements/skins), which takes forever and just piles up resources I can't actually ever use. Crafting rework should hopefully make dismantling+enhancing faster, but I don't know if they're going to address the wider issues like having a billion materials that can only be used for regular 5* weapons. Nor do I think they're going to outright get rid of worthless Void weapons (they even keep on adding some), so I expect solution for that is just gonna be organizing those menus better.
I wasn't really expecting to get such a thoughtful reply back, but I'm surprised and grateful that they did. Made my day. ❤️
Dragalia Lost | Regarding Connection Issues in Co-op
CyGames was so disappointed with my H!Lowen eVolk performance they shut down the co-op servers. Sorry everyone.

Apparently Skeikah Slates are a lot more modernized in the Dragalia universe.
that's clearly an iPhone. They defs have those in the Dragalia universe.
Having now compared the symbol to the Switch case that is a few feet away from me: yeah that really is just that symbol, huh! Wonder it they're actually gonna do anything with it or if it's just gonna be a visual gag, but I'm hoping for this story to be a fun time either way now.
Swimsuit tan lines were sorely missing from Dragalia. Even the Summer characters didn't really have them.
So Dragalia is now a literal Gyaru Isekai judging by Nadine's adventurer info, unless only the Sheikah Slate/EyePhone is the Isekai protagonist. The clear reason to pull for Nadine is to make every adventurer want to take selfies by skill sharing.
Also, Linnea's story is apparently fully-voiced? The most probable reason is Linnea was recorded before they made the decision to stop them, and they didn't want to introduce the 6th shadow blade until now, since we got Durant and Aldred during the non-VA period, but maybe they're also testing the water on seeing pull desirability for fully voiced adventurer stories, seeing how many popular Linnea is relative to Nadine.

Louise and Lowen were fated to get their spirals at the same time. Even Cygames couldn't pass up such an obvious opportunity.
Melody is sure to make a lot of folks happy since she was arguably the most popular 3-star until everyone started building Xania as an easy means to break into eVolk/mHMS.

makes it even easier to do consistent eCiella runs, if nothing else
I'll probably be doing it for that reason (and because I'm fond enough of using him for stuff), though hopefully I don't have to finish upgrading Ranzal still since I'd rather not spend even more rainbow orbs after Lowen...
I dont mind that this event is kinda braindead and grindy since you can auto the whole thing..
But the reduced rewards are awful. 10 wyrmrite per endeavour? Why so stingey all of a sudden eurgh

Especially since I just blew all of my resources failing to pull Nadine
On the plus side there are 100 rainbow orbs.
But yeah the rewards on this event are severely lacking, I reckon the negative feedback will make them improve it in future though. This is the first event of its kind after all.
Yeah i hope so, this kind of event would be a nice thing to run alongside raid events since you can use your stamina on this and your wings on the raids. On its own its really lacking
We'll know for sure by the end of the weekend when we generally get an announcement for the following week's Astral Raid if there's going to be one. If there's no mention, that means we'll at the very least get a raid re-run that week.
I can understand cutting back on rewards, especially if they plan to implement sparking (I can spark 15 times right now on my F2P NOTTE account if it's 300, literally 7-8 sparks a year based on how much they've given us), but this is a pretty severe reduction.

The story chapters also only give 15 wyrmite instead of 25.
I suspect they think that they give away too much wyrmite relative to the available rolls... and from a purely business standpoint, they probably do? I know I'm sitting on 160k wyrmite (which comes out to over 1,300 rolls!) and that's not including the stacks of tickets that are sitting in my inventory. I suspect long-time players have gotten a ton of free currency (whether they have it or not is another discussion) and at least for me, there isn't enough to burn all that currency on (never mind having to dig into my wallet and buy any).
However, dialing that back without having the community lose its shit is going to be... difficult. From a design standpoint, they would probably be better off putting in something (or multiple things) that would use wyrmite more quickly, either directly or indirectly. I suspect the recent skill sharing change was driven in part to try to encourage players to blow through their eldwater, which in turn would encourage more drawing.
(As an aside, talking about the designs of gacha games and how they're engineered to maximize expenditures is... uh... kind of gross?)
The only way I see this being taken well is if they introduced or announced sparking at the same time as the reduction.
There are other monetization methods available, but the shop rarely gets updates, and they've been adverse to adding much. We have a weapon skin system which is perfect for adding purchasable cosmetic weapon skins for Wyrmite/Diamantium, but instead all skins have been free since the update and we didn't even get a re-run of the New Years paddle they sold year 1, which legitimately has a lot more value to folks now that you can use it as a skin on your actual weapon. They pledged to give every event a new theme song, but until they're added to the Compendium that's a lot of work for only 2-3 weeks of a new song. You could add the option to buy these tracks (again for Wyrmite/Diamantium) for us to use during battles or menus. Just having something small like buy-able decoration items for the Halidom (could literally just be the option to buy more of the event ones we get from facility events) would generate a little income for next to no development work, but the shop has barely changed since launch in terms of monetization options.
The most significant addition was the 6* unbind brick, which was made pretty low value since 6* unbinds carry over.

I'm surprised they haven't gone into selling skins at all -- especially character skins. They do them in some of their other games (such as Granblue and Deresute) and they seem reasonably popular, especially given how expensive they are (about $25 or so per skin -- they do come with a free ten-roll in both games, but still). It would be more work in terms of developing art assets, animation and implementing them into the game but it would also be a higher-ticket item they could add to the shop (and it's something that players could show off in co-op) that would probably carry move value than the current bundles. Seriously, how many bricks and keys does one person need? Sunstones are the only thing that's even remotely appealing, but I don't get the impression that most Dragalia players would pay $40 for a sunstone, even if it came with $40 in currency (whereas I know of a bunch of Granblue players who would absolutely jump on paying $40 for a sunstone and a 10-roll in that game -- which I guess says something about how engaged the player bases are).
I don't think costumes are super likely because once they've made one, it makes a lot more sense for it to just be a new alt given the work that was put in, especially if new animations are involved, since then it can also be skill shared. Weapon skins, songs, and event decorations are all things the game has already implemented but hasn't monetized yet.
The current banner only runs until the 21st/22nd, so I assume we'll get a wedding banner after it. I suppose we could get a dragon banner or something as filler instead, but that seems like an awfully long time for what is normally a filler banner since I'd expect the next banner to run from the 22nd through the end of the month.
I need to get into this scam. I think I have all the pieces and on the 15th I should get the eldwater I need.
Luckily Lowen is 4* so the spiral doesn't require as much gold paper.
I love Louise but she is staying as that until I get more testaments.
e: and of course, if she is significantly better than joachim
I suspect they consider the testament issue solved with the fafnir medals.

That would be the case if it reset more frequently than the never so far.
