does anyone play Raid : Shadow Legends?

I downloaded it last night after seeing 256093657 ads for it, and unsurprisingly its full of popups for cash shop bundles that cost more than a AAA singleplayer game... but that said I am actually enjoying the game so far and was just looking to see if anyone could point me to a thread or discord channel or wiki or something cause theres a million different things to do and Im at a loss for what to prioritize

I got bored and booted up Archero. They're doing a Season 1 with a Battle Pass now, where progression is based on kills, which seems really stupid for a number of reasons.

1) A single player game with a Battle Pass? There's not even leaderboards.

2) If I just started a new area, I'm at a big disadvantage, because my runs are going to be a lot shorter, unless the whole thing is trivial anyway.

Seems kinda gross, honestly.

E: haha, they're offering straight up max health boosts for watching ads mid-run now, gently caress this.

You can even flat-out buy a character for $9.99. Some company glommed onto it, and turned it into a ridiculous cash-grab. The game was a fun diversion for a few minutes when it came out, but they've lost their goddamn minds.

Was at the selection screen now and before I chose I wanted to see what others were doing. But you’re the only other person I saw mention this from a search so I’m still wondering which to pick. Guess I can always make another account if factions do block you out from playing with others even though you suspect not.

Edit: Thanks!

This game is kind of confusing. It's just pushing me along the quests and I feel like I'm missing how to go about stuff. I went Space Russian, and leaned into railguns. I'm not really sure what's happening, but it's fun so far!

It seems as though you can skill into any races ship type too, not sure if there are any penalties or anything, but as far as I can tell you can go nuts.

Also there is an emergency maintenance right now which gives people 500k credits. So, yay?

Has anyone been following Second Galaxy? I've been pretty pumped about an EvE-like on my phone, and people that played the closed beta are saying it's basically 80% EvE.

I tried to sneak into the actual EvE game that was in beta in Australia, but I could never get it to work since I'm from the US, and I didn't feel like ju.ping through all the VPN/foreign Google account hoops to get it working.

Has anyone played, or plan on playing either game?

I got a chain a texts from a friend about this yesterday. He told us all to play it, we made fun of him because he's already not playing a MMO with us, he said he's hyped to play Eve on his phone and if we could show him how to play wow on it he would, we showed him how to do that, he said gently caress you guys, and then finally said "this game is garbo and not worth playing"

I'm actually digging Second Galaxy so far even though a lot of the systems/menus are still a complete mystery to me. It's functionally the same as one of those mobile MMO's down to the auto combat which I wasn't expecting.

Yeah, it's just suggesting you flank to drop the repair ships. If you double click in space you will fly that direction. You can also open the tactical map in the top right to bring up a birds eye view and give more precise movement commands

The auto combat is the same as EVE really. The systems and menus will all be taught to you through the course of the game.
