The new survey is asking all kinds of interesting questions.

I would instantly swipe for Sesshomaru

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I did my part and let them know what needs fixing or complete removal.

Like, when it comes to events, I don't even need to say anything, most of them are crap. But the more I play rogue-like mode the more I don't like it each time I play. Like, it's the same shit over and over, same boring enemies, same terrible locations with pool items everywhere and shit, I hate to look at all this shit, it's terrible and boring and literally nothing changes for months and months except bosses. And that's not to mention that when I have to do it more than one time.... UGH!

I think they should scrap this terrible abomination and make a completely new AND WAY MORE INTERESTING AND BETTER DESIGNED rogue-like mode with much better quality. Uh, yeah, it's easy to go through it but I despise the look and design of it the more I play it. It's not even passable at best in terms of quality, it's more like a "We don't care, that'll do" type of thing. ZZZ rogue-like mode is FAR MORE INTERESTING and there's new character kits there as well and more you can do. But in WuWa, I hate these fuckin' echoes from 1.X. like bears, wolfs, monkeys and shit, but I hate to fight them even more.

Anyway, I'm sure a lot of what we'll say won't be even considered, but it won't stop me from saying what I want and what must be said, whether they like it or not. It's our thing to let you know what we don't like and it's your responsibility to make the game better not just for us, but for everyone else.

If any of you guys haven't already filled out the satisfaction survey can you please add a comment, about the Nvidia Drivers.

There has been a issue with 50 series cards and wuthering waves since 2.1 that still hasn't been fixed and I would appreciate all your help.

The current issue is black flicking on terrain and objects only in DX11. Thanks

I'll put in a note about this for you. I was already going to mention that RT enabled causes weird shimmers on some reflective surfaces, it almost looks like TV static.

Are you using mods to improve RT, reflections etc. significantly? Try them out, they look great and now that the game is not crashing with DXGI errors, you can actually play with RT.

Improve Performance and Visuals

Visual and performance improvements (Mulitple configs, ray tracing included)

www.nexusmods.com

Adjust Texture LOD

make better quality visual on wuthering waves

www.nexusmods.com

Just take best options from all of these and the game will look a lot better.

This is the first gacha waifu simulator I played. I only put like 90 minutes into it so far, but I actually really enjoyed that time.

I was drawn in by the really cool looking landscapes, because I am currently craving blue skies with white clouds and green fields. I dont know, it just reminds me of the early 2000's and for me thats a feel good design. And this game looks absolutely amazing. I just stood there for a while and looking and sunrises and sunsets because watching the clouds go by looks absolutely mesmerizing.

Also, the gameplay is actually fun. Story is whatever so far. Lots of words that have no meaning to me and are just overly confusing. I dont like stuff like that, but story is not what I am here for. Also dont care for the waifu aspect. I dont know why I would ever want to "draw" any new character if I can play through the game with what the game gives me.

Dont know if there will be grinding later on and whether the game will be good enough to justify that, since I just dont see me paying for pulls ever. I hate these mechanics and any kind of gambling in general, so I dont support it. But I'd totally take a game like this and pay money up front if its good.

Also, how does the game look so good and still run 100 fps 4K fully maxed on a 600€ used PC I bought a few months ago. Puts so many other big games to shame.

 

[Pejo]

I was on the last (open ended) question on the survey, adding some bits about performance issues and got hard crashed out of the game and then my PC BSOD'd.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

TheAssist burn though 1.0 content as fast as you can ingnoring everything but story quests and get to the Black Shores. You can thank me later.

If you're enjoying 1.0 your head is going to explode come 2.0, and as far as game looking good goes - it gets better, wait till you see Septimont

Story and writing will definitely improve, by a lot, 1.0 was a disaster on that front. So don't get too discouraged with the word salad.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

TheAssist The 1.0 story (especially the first half) is the worst one by far, so just power through it. You can also skip through the dialogue, as there's a lot of technobabble that can be hard to digest (I know it puts a lot of people off, lol).

Once you reach Mt. Firmament, the main story picks up a lot. And like my guys Peroroncino & Agent_4Seven said, it gets much better from there on (Black Shores story was peak fiction!).

 

[Pejo]

Damn, Septimont visuals and story so far have been absolutely top tier. I just finished the first half of the main story up to winning the gladiator battles with Lupa and watching Cartie fighting the black tide + Christoforo.

I can't get over how good the environments look there, it's unreal. The subtle stuff too like the scavenger birds flying around, the leaves and flowers blowing and twisting in the air, etc. Drop dead fucking gorgeous. Hard to believe it's in a 'free' game. Story presentation and storytelling just keeps getting better and better too. I keep forgetting how great this game can be between their awful timer based battle events.

This was also my first time seeing Iuno and Augusta in the actual game, they both look fantastic. Even Phrolova is growing on me a bit.

Plus, Lupa's a cute. I'm surprised how bad her banner is doing considering how good she is in the main story so far. I didn't expect her to be one of the "Gathering Wives" crew.

Bottom pic gives me this vibe:

If you think the first part was great, just you wait for the second one

As for the visuals, the only thing they need to do now is add RT Local Shadows and RTAO to replace the really bad SSAO and upgrade all ugly and blocky ground objects like rocks and shit like that - it is the only thing which is still not up to par with everything they added in 2.4 and is still on the 1.X level

I noticed they still have a bunch of light sources that aren't actually emitting any light too. It takes me out just a bit, but probably not enough to go in and make every lamp/torch/glowing object an actual light emitting source. I'd imagine that'd be ultra expensive and resource heavy to do.

Well, yeah, when it comes to light sources and shadows from each and every object, it'll be pretty much just as expensive as in MGS5 GZ / TPP back when it came out on PC. But that's when it comes to raster lighting, so if you'll add RT to the mix... well, heh, it'll be a disaster performance-wise probably even if you have high end hardware (CPU and GPU).

That's why I only mentioned very specific things as they will be less expensive, but at the same time will make the game look better and also blend characters with the world and eliminate outdated cell shaded rendering and shadows (on characters) which the game has now.

Ah ok so, when you start the game it just automatically puts you in the story of 1.0? The one where you get a assortment of ...things (I think a sundial, a leaf, some fruit...) and just go places to figure out what they do?

How long is the story of 1.0 then? I am intrigued haha

Each patch number in this game correlates with content. Think of them as chapters. 1.0 is chapter 1, 1.1 is chapter 2 and 2.0 is chapter 1 in the sequel in the series of books. We're currently at patch 2.4, which was split into 2 parts, of which we're in the 2nd half.

You're in chapter 1 of the game 1.0, which is the launch version and was rushed in development (they rewrote the whole story/characters in a few months). The entire 1.X story is kind of long, I recommend you focus only on completing the main story and companion quests until you get to 2.0. Once you get to 2.0, you can start expanding on the various content in the region and take your time levelling/gearing up.

Ah cool, thats good to know. So I just vibe with the flow haha.

I really like that they let you change time of day on a whim. More games need that. Its sunset time all the time! Would be even better if you could decide on how fast time passes, but oh well.

Looks like the best event is back.
