 Hey everyone, welcome to Higan Iruthill. We have here a dev blog Launched this was announced yesterday. These are partial improvements or middle improvements before I think they go global on April 6th So let's go through the key part of the optimizations the rest of the blog as well and I'll give you guys my feedback for the game and after playing three weeks approximately and free to play by the way, so This will give you a more in-depth idea on how the game is progressing What developments are to look forward to if you haven't played the game. This will give you more reason to play it and Let's start off. So part one key optimizations This one is a nice to have so character level and skill reset feature. This will be available to new players So accounts created within two weeks. So this does not apply to us anymore because we're beyond two weeks So this will you'll be able to recycle your materials whatever you use to to those Heroes that you haven't, you know, you haven't you're not any we're using. They're just, you know Gathering dust so you can reset them and transfer those materials to other Heroes so pre-previable info of un-unobtainable characters so far This is actually going to be nice because especially for me as a content creator I get to give you guys my my thoughts ahead before You have these characters available and also for you to plan whether who you're going to concentrate on In your build. So this is nice core combat experience optimized so far My combat experience has been nice. It hasn't been hard. It hasn't been too easy as well So it's just right that you can progress as far Again, even with free-to-play the stages the stages are not that hard really really Very acceptable difficulty Whenever you progress to a different stage easy to upgrade your characters again If they're going to optimize it more, I hope it it makes The the combat experience even better not worse. So that is actually my comment Optimized rules for play wish So this one the play wish the gotcha system. I like the gotcha system I'll explain it later during my feedback But this one the the up for the five star play will be increased by five to 50 to 80 percent So again, the gotcha system It's it's better than what I expected. So more on that in a while optimize it here Regeneration offline mode. This pertains to your energy. So they will give Also emphasis on offline mode regeneration of it here That's what this says and optimize output of essential materials I agree with this so much because Farming in this game is takes a lot of time because the the the output of essential materials is so little So you have to spend a lot of energy just to farm and and upgrade and everything so progress is a bit slow now But it might improve with this one with the the drop rates increasing Okay, so that is the dev notes, which I'm happy about Next up is going to be I'm not gonna I'm not gonna touch on this Um, this is a top up rebate just read it through their facebook page I haven't topped up because I'm free to play But again for those who have topped up there are key questions here that you need to know when global launch comes out and um The future vanguard server so for those who are in vanguard, which is the soft launch Um, do I have to update the game when open beta goes live? Can new players enter vanguard? So there will be a special maintenance on april 4th. So we'll be going ahead So, um Deck of the stores Vanguard server will probably close on fort mitten until 12 So I think um new players cannot enter vanguard. I presume special which play record stores Once sorry and downloading the old middle to resume the journey on vanguard. So this is the old players Servers other than vanguard will remain in maintenance until open beta goes live for stability concerns Um, I think it's going to be a different server for the new ones, which is better I think but the events will be parallel Um that I'm I think I am sure so what's next? So these are the events next so after the burning phoenix event by the way the burning phoenix event was actually nice um more materials to farm there And hopefully you guys were able to finish that Does the plan for vanguard vanguard servers stay the same with other servers of this content and event in the vanguard So it would stay the same with That in the new open beta servers you may experience the same content in event When the open beta goes live as I've said there it's going to be parallel some events That are related to the account will not be open again Okay, so probably the ones that already went out for the soft launch will not be out already will not be out again So that is I think what they're saying so So again, there are a lot of information here just check out the twitter Discord and read it for more information on The upcoming optimizations for the game and we're off to We're off to hegan iruthill for this one. So if you guys notice I have Rita already. I got Rita um, I'm gonna do a review and Rita for those who are planning to get her in the new wish banner here So it's ghost fire. We have a new wish banner and we have a new play banner Sorry hero banner and a play banner. So Rita already got I'll do a review whether, you know, you you can actually I'm still testing her So give me a day to give my review I'm hold on to your polls if you want to hold on to them, but I'll give a review on her If I actually have her built well already So I have her at level 60 And skill wise at four all four. So more or less. I could give you a detailed review after today I just got her to 60. So Give me some time please to give you guys my review on her. Um, also a build guide probably Will be out once Once I've done my review. So again, that's not my Second half. So again, just want to give you guys feedback on the game as a whole How it's been for me An experience being free to play in everything. So again, it's seriously free to play. I tell you guys progress is Is manageable for free to play. We will definitely be slower than paying players But it's really free to play. I tell you Um, not kidding. Even the gacha rates even the gacha system is actually very free to play friendly I'll more on that in the one. So again progress is good. I actually collected these already Even if I'm free to play No joke. No joke. I tell you so for the gacha mechanic will go to the roster. So this is my roster I pulled for most of the banner Um, some of these are off banner because the off banner rates are good So let's go to the wish system. So the wish system. Let's go to this one. So pity redeem. So for You'll be getting pity after the 120th pull if you get ssr's in the middle even if if it's um if it's off banner The thing doesn't reset the pity doesn't reset. That's what is nice about it and the rates are not bad So So two percent for drop rate the rates are not bad So two percent some gachas are less. So this one is a 50% trigger Um, and this one is a two percent to trigger an ssr any of the ssr's that are in the pool So again before you reach pity if you get off banner ssr's the pity doesn't reset again One of the best gacha mechanics. I think that I've you know, I've played in so far Um, that is why I was able to get a lot of heroes already. So I got Fen in the re-roll I got uh eluy in the banner gilden in the banner. I got media in the free ssr Rita is actually off banner live is off banner and I still have nuno here nuno I got actually in in her banner so and what is good about the gacha system is that um The current if for example, there are two banners here ghost in another they share the same pity system. So Again, it's not really bad. It's actually way good. So if you pull on this banner and if you have another banner a new banner Both pity systems. Um, activate if you pull in either banner So very good as well. So again, you are in the win-win with this game in terms of the gacha mechanics um Moving towards the stages here. The stages guys are not too hard. Not too easy I tell you very manageable in terms of Terms of progress. I'm at four um, again very manageable Um, just upgrade then fight upgrade and fight again progress is pretty much very very manageable As long as you play daily preferably multiple times in the day so events the last event was um, the phoenix event that was very free to play This one is also a free to play event. So I have received a reward here So just uh, it's gonna be fusing materials. Then you get the reward So this is I think once per day then this is running for 13 days So again very simple event and very very nice especially for everyone including free to play this one Cheapest package. I won't be buying because I have fan already this one for progress Again, the events of this game is Magnifico. I tell you um tasks also Is very manageable very easy Easy tasks is related to time Because some of us are busy. We only play this partially in the day. So Dailies are very easy to attain. You can finish it first thing In the morning, then you play again in the after probably at night. So two times every day Very time-friendly game doesn't really take much of your time. Um, I can squeeze this game In my daily routine battle system Very very enjoyable. I won't go into the battle system to demo anything. But the battle system here is um Let's uh, let's go to Outland. Let's uh demo just one Okay So let's uh No, no not this one not this one Okay, so let's uh go to deep maze I've cleared this one, but uh, we'll go through it Just to show you guys So let's uh enter Okay battle system very enjoyable. Um For manual it is Again, the word is manageable Because again, uh, most of us don't really like to go into manual mode But I'll do this fight. Um Um You can do manual very very, you know, if you want more skill or difficulty to the game you can go with Manual if you don't want you can go with auto auto Again, ai is going to be a little bit, you know, as a man of its own So if you want to cast spell On your own, you know, or your own pace or your own timing then definitely you have to go with manual So again, that is what I'm saying The battle system I really like it's a balance between auto and your manual. So just pick Whether you're going to go with auto or manual for a certain battle. Okay. Those are basically the The likes that I have things that they need to um fix or probably Optimize is the shop shop wise, um the What they call this the items here are a bit more for pay to win So not much for free to play. So this one the exchange is usually Free to play but not much options So hopefully they could add or lower down something to give, you know, free to play More options in terms of the shop as for troop So troop here is your kind of your base. This is where you accumulate materials where you where you Craft materials or crafting feline room. This one the exhibition the expedition room Is going to be where you will be dispatching. So this is very very nice to have it adds to What you have better do this in the morning And that is so far what is included the veiled court is Actually generates this currency to upgrade your facility and it really For me it lacks features that is probably the downside probably more optimization on the troop But as is it's actually average One thing that I'd like to touch is on the energy the energy Um, it was mentioned in the dev notes already They're gonna be optimizing it more offline regeneration But again, I hope that they, you know Increased in capacity at this point. So that is what I think they should optimize as well and Leveling up and ascension If you go to the roster again If you go with gildon here, they're all it really takes a lot of ascension here The items here are really hard to farm But I know they will be addressing this in the optimization in terms of the drop rate and I hope that it's going to be It's good now, but it should be better in the future, especially we're nearing global at this point. So again guys, I'm free to play um and These are so far my you know my heroes. I'm happy with it I'm not sure if I'm gonna do a I'm gonna I'm gonna pay for this account. I'm gonna continue to free to play Give you guys the you know feedback on free to play experience because I've never really had a Free to play game that I really really stuck with but so far this one is one that I think Is going to be you know to be very very good for more years to come Very well designed game. I tell you it just needs to to be tinker with a little bit it's just in early stages and I'm not worried about About the honkai star rail coming in This game has its niche as well There will be players who will be playing this probably Together with honkai and he gonna Ruthill or probably choose this over honkai I get that honkai has a lot of fans and I'll be playing it as well But again, this game will have have its niche and it's a very well built game And I'm rooting for it to succeed. So that is it. So thank you very much guys So hopefully you you got something from my feedback and comment down below what you think about the game so far So take care. Stay safe. This is the warden and I'm out of here
