The Tower isn't a bad concept, it's novel for sure but no inherently bad, just not well executed. I like the idea of the 10th floor and 11th floor having something akin to gatekeeping. It can be toxic, but only the best of the best can stay (sadly enough, I ain't in this group yet hahaha).Hopefully they use the time to RIP out the chibi online tower thing and replace it with a regular menu.
QUICK MATCH
RANKED MATCH
That's all you need.
Noooooo. But that's for the best. June 11 is a crowded day (1 day after FF7 remake and same day as Ratchet and Clank)
The difference is that we know Strive is actually a great game.![]()
Oh, irony.
Game is bullshit blazing.The difference is that we know Strive is actually a great game.
yeah what a brutal week to delay it to :-/Noooooo. But that's for the best. June 11 is a crowded day (1 day after FF7 remake and same day as Ratchet and Clank)
oh fuck they made this joke?![]()
Oh, irony.
Delay for everyone.
It's all just a layer of janky fluff between the player and the game. It's not needed.The Tower isn't a bad concept, it's novel for sure but no inherently bad, just not well executed.

What made me furious about it was the implementation, all the menus (even the customizable wheel wasn't good) were slow and had a lag on startup, with the worst offender being the HOLD TO ENTER BATTLE STANCE. That shit can go crash and burn, especially being reallocated to a random spot after reading for battle. Then they go a mile further by forcing people to walk to different players in the room so you can challenge them, not letting people group up in one spot to fight each other.
Arksys insisted on this shit lobby system, but if they will double down on it they better improve it. LET THE PLAYERS WALK FREELY IN THE LOBBY SPACE AND GIVE THEM A SINGLE PRESS OF A BUTTON TO CHALLENGE ANOTHER PLAYER! Is that hard to do? Idk, but programming-wise it shouldn't that bad, not compared to scrapping all the lobby system.
About the Quick match and rematch options, I think they mentioned it being available at launch. So let's pray for it. I just don't want the lobby to kill the ranked experience, that'd be a tragedy.
the wound is still fresh.
On the flip side...

Hoping for improvements to the UI, lobby, and overall damage personally. I won't be buying the game yet unless there's some significant changes from the beta.
