Peak gameplay

[u/Devil_Control_]

Don’t get me wrong.
Love the game. Day 1 player and I buy every month the monthly pass and the battle pass plus some top up when they reset the double bonus

But i swear this has to be the worst update I have ever played so far.

Qingxiao is beautiful but holy shit the personality and the story are so boring and predictable I can’t count how many times I almost felt asleep while playing. Took me 2 whole week to actually find the will to play the main quest.

I’ve always read every single line of main quest story but this is the first time I literally skipped the main quest without even reading the summaries

And lest talk about the gameplay. Animation are GREAT but at the same time so boring it’s even funny how you just need to keep pressing the left click and the character literally play itself.
I hope 3.7 is better but at this point I just hope for an hard reset with 4.0

What about you guys? Did you like this update?

Xianxia fan here, i said that even as a Jinjiang's xianxia slop standard, this story is mid-bad.
Cultivation in xianxia has a lot of base setting due to the author, in this quest Wuwa just bare touch xianxia culture although they mainly focus on Qingxiao a jianzun with xianxia setting. They did not introduce enough wuwa's xianxia setting, just qingxiao cultivation way, it's not show like what is cultivation overal, what kind of people can cultivate-like normal ppl or special ppl as resonator or is there a specific kind of resonator can cultivate, how different clan cultivate, how their paths of cultivate. Even as a in quest, they just show Qingxiao meditate and fighting and call that cultivate, we can't hope none-xianxia fan to understand and imagine themself with just that little present in story. Qingxiao have a shifu, does she also does sword path with sharpen mind, bc we she qingxiao training buling and buling definitely a talisman/taoist path. The setting is so much unclear even with a xianxia reader. Not to mention the innder demon trope was doing purely in her quest, Qingxiao had the basic setting for good story of a xianren, a sword master with calm attitude sometime consider coldly but warm heart, strong mind and there is ton of novel that did this trope, kurogame still find the worse way to present it. Lastly in the boss fight, they simply just let qingxiao defeat Muyu easily, then Muyu back up plan coming, she just using the "power of people" after see past friend illusion, this is the most common power friendship which how we resolve xuanfang disaster after 2 patch build up. Not gonna lie, even as a filler patch to hook on 3.7, this patch is bad, the only worth detail to care is Sentinel Hsin abnormal state which will be told in 3.7 and 3.5 already let us know there is something wrong with hsin when suisui met her. 3.6 ver simply end villian muyu poorly for a villian well build in 3.5, while gettign qingxiao on screen so much time but show her character and aspects poorly. My girl being larp from a paragon, a xianren figure to waifuslop bc of bad story writing and present

I agree, i know the general ins and outs of xianxia but I wasn't terribly interested in the genre, just knowledgable enough to understand the points they were trying to get across.

The Xianxia stuff in 3.6 was pretty far removed from the regular story as it was focused almost entirely on Qingxiao. It doesn't really try to introduce the Xianxia concepts and simply expects you to understand them and know why Qingxiao's issue is even a problem to begin with.

I personally thought the story beats themselves were fine - reclaiming one's emotions after their method of cultivating was locking them away is development on the character itself, but it was pushed so late in the quest and so all-of-a-sudden that it was thematic whiplash to me.

I liked the rest of the 3.6 story personally, Muyu was a man who had an ego that was bigger than his power and it showed in the story with his mentality while also bringing up actual valid criticisms of the way the people in Solaris treat Sentinels. It was really just the Qingxiao specific stuff (with the cultivation) that had me kind of bored, and it was mainly because they didn't really give the actual Xianxia concepts enough time to really sink in for people - it was just expected that you'd know what it is the moment they mentioned it.
