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.

 

[Pejo]

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.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Praise da lawd for 1k Asterite. I'm excited for Lumi after playing her , don't think i care about Camellya much.

 

[Nankatsu]

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.

 

[Pejo]

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.

Full sized images of each can be found on their main x/twitter: https://x.com/wuthering_waves

 

[Pejo]

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

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

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.

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.

 

[Pejo]

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.

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

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:

[Filben]

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.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

So I've decided to start playing WuWa now that they've confirmed cross-save between platforms instead of waiting for the PS5 release. Really, really liking it so far and I think it will become my main gacha now that I kinda got bored of ZZZ (will still do dailies and whatever important content gets added, but not much else).

As an side, I've listened to some of the OST they've posted on their YouTube channel and the stuff that's there is really fire. I especially love the Shorekeeper main theme song - An Unfinished Song ( great vocals and visuals).



Also, too bad I missed The Shopkeeper, her design is simply incredible... Anyway, hope Kuro keeps up with these peak character designs.

Game is getting really good, and combat is challeging and fun too.

Sadly the characters for the new region seem a bit less unique design wise.

On another note: holy shit, they completely made Camellya a total sexual harasser towards Rover

Wait until you get to her story quest. Best one so far, in my opinion.

If you can tough it out through the early game and the nonsense opening story, I think you'll find a lot to like with WuWa. Combat is on another level, gacha or not.

Once you get good enough at the basics, if you wanna push yourself on the combat, you should definitely learn about "quick swap" gameplay. This is the only game I've ever played where you can basically feel like you're playing an entire team of characters manually at the same time. Certain attacks/moves can continue even after you swap to a new character, so finding those moves and using them in a sort of free-flow combat just feels amazing when it 'clicks'.

It's really hard to demo because it just looks visually confusing if you're not the one in control, but here's an example of what I mean:


I feel like that guy is just swapping whenever he can instead of using it in a sensical way, but it at least gets across the message of what's possible.

Feel free to ask any questions, and like I mentioned, don't let the first chapter story get you down, they improved it a LOT since then.

 

[Nankatsu]

Hot damn, I ended up liking Camellya's story quest more than I initially was thinking.

They are getting damn good at those ending view shots.

Yeah, I just started the game today (put around 8 hours into it), and the combat so far is easy & fun, but I know it will get more challenging as I progress further and unlock endgame activities. I just upgraded the "world tier" to level 20, so I'm now encountering tougher opponents, but it's still easy.

I dig all the characters I have so far. I even pulled Danjin44 (sorry for the tag bro, but I find it funny that the first character I pulled in this game is named like you ) in the beginner banner. I've leveled her up to 25, along with my female rover and the support ice lady that also heals, and I'm just doing story bits, exploring, and tackling some of the available quests that I've unlocked at this new world tier.

Yeah, I got some very mild spoilers by watching some of the Shorekeeper stuff on the Wuthering Waves YouTube channel, mainly her character backstory (that cinematic is really dope) and ofc the main theme song.

The combat is indeed very fun, easy to get the basics, but hard to master, especially with the stuff you've shown me in the video you've linked. I'm 100% sticking with this game and will practice the quick swap mechanics once I get more used to the combat flow and the characters I'll be unlocking.

I recently watched a beginner guide, so I'll be aiming to get Verina as my main support via the 5 star selector and hopefully I get Encore as my main DPS, then build this team up with some help from Prydwen builds.

I know that the story content they've added with the Shorekeeper and Camellya is very good, so I'm looking forward to that.

Btw, should I get the $10 battle pass (it kinda looks very similar to the one in ZZZ) or is the $5 lunite subscription a better deal?

I mainly support them with the lunite subscription. Game is good, I have fun with it so, I'll binge 5€ a month.

But their BP is also good. Weapons and resources are pretty helpfull.

Think I bought one or two when I started playing the game.

I won't comment on the 5* selector, because I rarely play meta teams, but Verina does seem to be the most suggested from the standard pool, and even if you get Shorekeeper later, you will eventually need 2x supporters for the endgame modes, so it's a pretty future proof choice.

I know that the story content they've added with the Shorekeeper and Camellya is very good, so I'm looking forward to that.

Even the part following the "launch" main story quest, where it takes you to an island, is a much better story. It's just getting through that first bit that's a chore. Exploration eventually gets better too, but it's pretty standard Genshin-tier open world stuff for the most part. At least this game has a tool that you can see every treasure chest on selected areas of the map, regardless if it's a minigame/puzzle/etc, so it's easy to 100% without looking up guides. You'll get that tool from just playing the game and hitting certain exploration %s.

Btw, should I get the $10 battle pass (it kinda looks very similar to the one in ZZZ) or is the $5 lunite subscription a better deal?

I get both. Until recently the game was kinda stingy with character growth mats, so the BP helped a lot more overall because you will need those. They've opened up lots of mini-events the past 2 patches that shower you with those mats now, but I'm still always running out, so I still buy the BP. Lunite $5 sub is the best straight up value though, provided you log in every day to collect.

Also unlike ZZZ, the "free" pulling currency refreshes on a patchly schedule instead of a monthly one, which you use the generic pull refund coral on. Just a minor change worth mentioning. Also not that you should prioritize it, but the weapon banners are 100% guaranteed in this game, unlike ZZZ's W-Engine banner.

If you want to keep playing and not be frustrated with lack of pulls and materials to upgrade characters, I would definitely get the battle pass and lunite subscription.

I would pick Verina from the 5 star selector and then use the rest of your standard pulls on weapons if you don't plan on getting characters signature weapons.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Thanks for the recommendations guys, I'll be grabbing them both since I'll def be needing mats to upgrade my 1st team faster.

Also, good stuff about the weapon banner, will def weigh on that when choosing what to do with my standard pulls after I'm done with the guarantee 5 star from the beginner banner (I'm ~10 pulls away from getting the random 5*).

RT may be a nice gaming feature for some, but considering the load it takes on games, I much rather prefer playing my games with solid performance overall and high fps.

I'm really interested to see how good the game will look on my 65" TV.

And if I'm being honest, I hope the differences between base PS5 and Pro aren't that much .

I have the Pro, but I also still have my old launch PS5 model, which I'm mainly using for gacha games.

I'm also curious to see if there's any differences, so I'll be capturing some Gathering Wives footage from both consoles once it launches in January and share it here.

Don't know if Mihoyo has patched any of its games for the Pro. Still, did you noticed any differences between ZZZ on base and Pro, performance wise?

Watched both trailers in the Op and don't know what this is. Genshin Impact-like?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, there's no PS5 Pro patch for ZZZ, but from what I've played so far on both consoles, the fps is much more stable in heavy action scenes (I was getting quite a few fps drops on some end game activities on the base PS5, but on the Pro these encounters are running silky smooth now).

I also noticed that Lumina Square which always had fps issues on the base PS5 is now running better, but it's still not 60 fps locked (probably CPU related optimization issue since my old ass 6700k runs it fine at a locked 60 fps).

 

[Nankatsu]

It's an open world gacha game yes, but with deeper combat combo mechanics and also more challenging.

Also rewards and banners are nicer too.

Wait until you get the grapple.

There's a minigame type that's essentially an obstacle course that they do for a few treasure chests and mini events, I really enjoy them, even if they're a bit easy by gaming standards. If they'd make a "hard mode" challenge for those, I'd have a blast.

Yep, I've unlocked it yesterday and did some of the minigames that uses it. Speaking of minigames, I was pleasantly surprised to find this super fun encounter where the camera perspective shifts from 3rd person to a 2D metroidvania like platformer, lol. Had a big grin on my face because I really didn't expect that.

I'm still very early in the game, but I love all the gameplay mechanics and encounters I've discovered so far. Kuro Games are legit great devs so big props to them.

Yea there's a few of those bits, but I don't think they were generally well received because we haven't had any more past the ones that were in the game when it launched. I'm with you though, I liked it.

They could use a bit of work with the controls, but there was potential there. Fun thing about grapple is that you can use it in combat, too, for characters that have strong air attacks or to hit flying enemies. Almost makes me wish it was its own button and not used in the "gadget" slot.

Aw, man, that sucks. There's a lot of potential there with these types of minigames, but if they didn't hit well with most of the player-base then it is what it is. Maybe they'll revisit them later on.

I didn't know you could use the grapple that way in combat with certain characters to hit those pesky flying enemies (some of these flying creatures have kinda started to annoy me ). I'll def keep that in mind so thanks a bunch for the tip.

It could be that devs are just crunched the past few months. The consensus at the launch of the game was less than stellar so they've been working really hard to turns things around. If you were there when the shit was going down, they gave a ton of apology compensations, but I'm not sure how many of those you get from starting now. 2.0 has been worked on in the background for a long time while they produced the higher quality content in the last few patches, so I'm expecting 2.0 to be a pretty big improvement, game-wide. Maybe they worked on the 2d platformer stuff and made it better and have some new stuff coming for us. Regardless, there are some great platforming sections that maintain the default perspective that you'll still run into, and I think they're done really well too.

Now that they have Tencent money behind them, they might be able to really take off. I'm pretty excited, provided that awful Tencent monetization doesn't weasel its way into the game.

Now that they have Tencent money behind them, they might be able to really take off. I'm pretty excited, provided that awful Tencent monetization doesn't weasel its way into the game.

Yeah, I've heard about the tech issues during the launch window (things were bad especially on mobile), but it looks like most of the bugs have been ironed out by now (I'm going to try the mobile version in a bit on my Samsung Galaxy S23 to see how well it runs). As for the patch 2.0, it sounds really promising and I'm looking forward to it, since it also means I'll be able to play the game on my main platform of choice, which is PS5.

Oh and now that you've mentioned it, I did receive in the mail a couple of those compensations, and also the bonus reward for the TGA nomination, which is cool.

About Tencent, I don't have much to say on that at the minute, but Kuro Games did mention they'll remain independent in that Gematsu news I've posted over the weekend. I also think that the PS5 release should give them a good revenue boost so even without Tencent money they should still be in a good financial position IMO. Ofc it won't hurt if they get some additional funding from Tencent, but hopefully it will come with no strings attached (e.g. aggressive monetization), but that's probably me being a tad naive, lol. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

As an aside, this game really grabbed me, because I can't remember the last time I spent more than five hours on a game during a work week (it was probably during the pandemic when I was playing lots of Destiny 2 with my buds).

Quick question: I just noticed motion blur causes some artifacts around characters if you rotate the camera at high speed.

Anyone experiences the same?

I don't have any upscaler turned on, so I find it odd it reproduces such artifacts.

Then again, I turned motion blur off and now they are gone.

I started noticing problems with the motion blur a few weeks ago, don't remember what prompted it, but I shut it off too, and haven't looked back.

Speaking of patch 2.0, here’s the new login theme song, as well as Carlotta's theme song.

This comes out on PS5 on 1/1/25. I'm definitely going to check it out.

This game is absolute cinema, btw!
