Having the Devs be able to go and gently caress around in your account and act so petty like kicking people out of your corp instantly killed the game for me.

It's a Chinese game. People in Hong Kong were playing it. They didn't like that so they took control of their guilds and destroyed them.

Reddit makes it sound like it isn't that they were in Hong Kong playing it but had Hong Kong in the guild name, and that is Not Okay


Apparently Blizzard did the same recently?

China's history of censorship and strong-arming companies is not new. It's even entirely possible the company wasn't even told to do this and they just have a nationalistic team who decided to get ahead of the government. Why did you even start playing the game in the first place if you were going to quit the second that was tangibly manifested? Or for that matter why did this make a difference when they were probably filtering for some of the common pre-current events issues, like Taiwan support terms and names?

There's a huge difference between a company saying 'these words are banned' before launching the game and the devs going into your account and to kick people out of your guild both on a technical aspect and also the fact that it's petty as gently caress.

If I paid money for this only to get locked out of my account without any kind of warning or wrong doing on my part then I'd be pretty mad.

It's a huge red flag.

Pretty much just playing Second Galaxy until EVE Echoes comes out, which it probably will do some time in early 2020.

I wish people were petty enough to troll by mass changing their display names to Hong Kong related terms, but given the response here that crowd is probably eating it up.

I don’t really get where you’re going with this post. It doesn’t really matter if it’s not new for China, or unexceptional for video games developed by Chinese companies. It is still reasonable to decide you don’t want to support a company once they start loving with people’s accounts like this. If you want to give Chinese developers the benefit of the doubt until they do poo poo like this, that seems like a totally reasonable position.

Just a heads up, we've got another goon guild set up in Epic 7 that we're trying to stuff with newer players, and still have some 11 slots with another 8 left to unlock.

Guild name is LLJK, and the discord link is the same as the old which if it's expired for any reason the following will work: https://discord.gg/fSWQeDs

Yeah, I am not really into anime and didn't like the side-scrolling battle style at first, but it really is a great game all things considered. I too had picked it up for a few days then uninstalled it (back in November) but then came back to it a month later after a friend of mine pressured me into giving it another chance.

Chinese authorities patrol Tiannenman Square with umbrellas and open them in front of cameras is people try and snap pictures. Petty is just scratching the surface with that government.

I tried Epic 7 a long time ago and uninstalled before I got very far. Tried again and really like the various game modes so it doesn't really get stale. Tired of grinding? Try a labyrinth or wave battle. I wish more of these games would be as creative with different modes.

Was looking for a game to kill time while procrastinating and saw all the AFK arena talk so decided to give it a shot. First pull and got two Shemiras. This is apparently really good? Not sure what the plan is from here but guess I'll stick with the game for a bit.

Shemira is incredible, yeah, especially at endgame for two reasons - her big health draining laser, and her special which slaps a health drain on the entire opposing team.

Most of the time when I get destroyed in AFK by a lower ranked team / player it's either her or Brutus.

E: also set your rickety cart to shred your greens, you don't need them and you can use the mats to buy blue pulls.

Feed Shemira to Shemira, run Shemira, Hogan, Estrilda, Miranda, and Ira, you'll fly through the campaign and load up on free pulls. Shemira is real good, but doesn't get broken until 161.

Pretty much what I ended up doing but with Gwyneth instead of Ira. Just hit a wall at 4-4 with no way to get hero xp so I guess now is a good time to AFK.

Thane is not a tank and needs fairly good equipment to be really good. Get him enough dodge and crit and he just melts people though.

Hogan, Lucius, Bel, Saveas and Tasi is fairly solid imo

Yeah that's rapidly approaching for me. It's still going to be breakable with some ridiculous luck but it's pretty unlikely to happen any time soon.
