Wuthering Waves |OT| - Devil May Impact

You guys see that WuWa made it into "best mobile game" category for TGAs? Not sure if it will win, but still pretty cool.

By the way, Camellya is a lot of fun to play. Nice mix of cool visuals without being braindead/cutscene simulator like Jinhsi.

Looks like we're getting 1000 Asterites for being nominated for best mobile game at TGA. Probably more if they win, but I dunno, we'll see.

Camellya's gameplay felt rather unique and cool, but her character doesn't click with me one bit.

For now I'm skipping it.

Maybe Scar comes up next.

So Kuro just dropped weird promo images, speculation is that they're for the next big nation/area in 2.0. Seems to be European/Italian themed?

Also the images fit together in such a way, nobody's cracked it if it means anything, yet.

Looks like it was just new character teases, They already revealed 4 of them on twitter/x. Looks like they're abandoning fanservice like Genshin did in Fontaine. Let's see if it pays off for them, I guess.

I'm a little underwhelmed by the designs, honestly. Sleepy horned girl is probably the only intriguing one to me. There should be a 5th revealed sometime in the next few hours.

Those designs look rather bad if you ask me. Don't like them one bit.

Yea, pretty much agree. Shame too, I think Changli/Yinlin/Camellya were all really good designs. This just blends in with all of the other gachas out there as tame boring office worker type shit.

Here's the 5th one by the way, better than the others but not by much.

Oof, not that good either. And the naming, that's a complete u-turn too. Too damn generic and blant.

Any news about them updating the CPU / GPU list? since 2.0 is coming soon?

I'm still locked out of 120 fps because my more than enough CPU didn't make the cut.

EDIT: Some glimpses of the new area here:



This looks like an insane Fontaine copy pasta :messenger_tears_of_joy:

You can enable it even if the game doesn't "support" your hardware, but it requires some effort:

I haven't seen any news about updating hardware requirements for official 120fps, but I don't have any particular reason to look for it.

I didn't want to go that way.

Specially because I know that my system is more than capable of running the game at 120fps.

Played a bit more of the Black Shores area and story chapter, damn, this is good, really good.

Really liking the camera work during the cutscenes.
 
1.4 patch notes. Some nice changes in there.

Some of the juicier stuff (my opinion)


When I logged in, got Jainxin dupe at 70 pity, but had enough saved resources to get back to 65 where I got Camellya. Had some leftovers and bought out the 'f2p' shop stuff, managed to get her weapon in 20 pulls. I've been ridiculously lucky on the weapon banner in this game.

I absolutely HATE her EN voice. I have no idea who was directing her, it sounds fucking abysmal. Her kit is pretty fun from what I've seen in the trial though.
This game is getting better and better and every new character feels great to play with. They only need to fix the materials and money situation. I have tons of 4* characters and weapons that I can't level up as the 5* take everything before I go broke.

So we're getting 2 character skins in 2.0. Jinhsi one is paid, the Sanhua one is supposed to be free. In my opinion, they're both middling. I thought they would beat Genshin's boring skins but so far it's basically the same shit. Maybe they look better in 3D, who knows.

Damn, pretty boring skins overall yeah. I wouldn't use any instead of the OG's.

It's a shame too, in Kuro's other game - Punishing Gray Raven - the skins are sufficiently different and really impressive.

Like here's the base version of a character (first image) and two of her skins.:

Really cool designs overall. That OG is fire, difficult to top.

Man I'm not a fan of Shorekeeper's gameplay, but I really like her character quite a bit.

Her connection with Rover is pretty neat.

When she says that she likes to stare at the sky, specially at one particular "bright rovering star"...

I use both Rover and SK in the same party, and she will mimic his lines for like her skill and ult and stuff, it's pretty cute. I find her insanely strong and when you hold attack and she turns into a butterfly, she moves like 3x as fast and picks up any material she makes contact with, without pressing any additional buttons. She also has a 3 stage Ult that can do some pretty crazy damage if you can trigger it. I've been super happy with my main team of Havoc Rover/Changli/Shorekeeper.

Yea her whole story was fantastic in my opinion. I loved the part where you're doing the QTE bits through the running scene, and the 'private' area with the sundown beach scene. You can talk to her at the piano afterwards to go back there whenever.

There are a ton of leaks out right now. Carlotta gameplay. Looks kinda 'meh' for our first 5* gun character, but I'll probably pull for her because I don't like any of the other revealed new characters. They also showed Jinhsi's skin in action. Mostly the same, but Jue is pink now and there are fireworks/sakura bloom SFX that fill out her moveset. it's something like 2800 of the paid currency to buy it, 3200 after it goes off of sale (so you can buy it anytime I guess). Seems expensive to me, but I guess we'll see how it sells. I think I'm skipping it, but it's nice to see they put some effort into it with the SFX and didn't just make it a lame Genshin costume.

The more interesting leaks for me are these:

Definitely going to try out the No UI setting.

Here are the leaks I was talking about above if interested:

Just noticed this thread, entered because I was thinking of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, were amazed by the art. I don't think it's a game for me or that it has a strong narrative with good writing. But the game's aesthetics looks fire and the art works look brilliant.
