Wuthering Waves |OT| - Devil May Impact

Nice, finished up the Lollo Logistics thing today and with the standard banner orbs I got the 5* gun super early, at like 30 pulls since the last 5*, so now I have every standard 5* weapon.

I might actually start rolling the character banner again now, I really want sequences for Jianxin and wouldn't mind a copy of Calcharo. Wish I could just exclude the furry boy from the table.
 
Couple of days more till Shorekeeper's return!

Well, since we're on Neogaf and a meme was accidentally born here, she's now - Shortkeeper.
You know who is to blame for this. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Shortkeeper sounds better than Storekeeper at least. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Been having a lot of bad RNG lately in all the gachas I'm playing, so here's hoping I'll win my 50/50 with Shorekeeper's banner. 🤞

Here's some fresh out of the oven Cantarella ASMR:



Edit: The PEGI age rating is back to 12 on PSN. Also, WuWa is being featured with a big card in the what's hot section on PSN UK, but I'm too lazy to post a screenshot since it's stored on the console.

Now the game's back to 12+ rating. What a bizarre fiasco this has been. Wish the game was out from underneath the CCP.

Good news is now Kuro can market gambling and sex to kids again, what a "win".

Honestly though these numbers are probably fucked. I doubt many non-english speaking people use the site and any casuals probably don't even know it exists.

Proudly crying!

From what I saw on reddit this only considers data from people who uploaded their pulls data to the wuwa tracker.

So the whole spectrum is probably way different.

Don't be upset, these statistics are not for all players, plus in the end it has little meaning, since it doesn't matter who was pulled how much, the main thing is that you like the character.
Looking at the list, there is some logic in it:

Camellya - first place, as expected, a female character, in fact the first "negative" character that was allowed to play + design. Although as a character she is far from ideal and she has many problems.
Shorekeeper - you can write a lot here, the most broken support in the game at the moment, if you don't have her on your account - you need her.
Everything else makes sense.
It's a bit of a shame to see Zhezhi so low, even though she currently has the highest off-field damage, it's huge.
Phoebe - here I think it's worth waiting for Zani's release, I think we'll see a lot of tears :messenger_tears_of_joy:
Cantarella - there is no group and no characters for her, that is, there was no urgency to pull her now, so there was no excitement.
Brant - I'm probably going to get pelted with tomatoes here, but I still can't understand the purpose and role of this character. :messenger_grinning:
Roccia - she was actually made for Camellya, but the game has a free Sanhua, so many people just skip her.

Here's some interesting data I saw on Reddit. Apparently, this is the player base gender ratio for top gachas in China based on the official CN TikTok account followers.

Edit: Remember that I posted a while back that WuWa will be featured on the cover of Animedia magazine? Well, it looks like they also did a interview with head honcho of Kuro Games, Solon.

As a person who is playing Infinity Nikki, I looked at the graphics and felt proud :messenger_sunglasses:

So guys, I'm going to have to take a break from neogaf and the internet in general. I wish everyone successful pools and that everyone gets the characters they want.

My predictions:
1) Zani - at the top together with Carlotta, Jinhsi, Phoebe (Phoebe can be moved to another column, it will depend on how much sense it makes to use her after the release of Zani as a DPS)
2) The free to play option for those who don't have Phoebe will be Mortefi, I don't really see any other options...

If everything goes according to plan, I'll see you in a month. I hope everyone will be there and no one will go missing. :messenger_grinning:
P.S - Make sure Thick Thighs Save Lives Thick Thighs Save Lives doesn't spend all his money on Gatcha games. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Someone posted ion Reddit, a boss fight from a test server, the quality of the recording leaves much to be desired of course... But it gives an idea of the fight. Group Zani + Phoebe+Shorekeeper.


Daaaaaaaamn, I have to get Zani:messenger_open_mouth:

But it'll be impossible I think cuz I'm sure they'll launch her first and there won't be enough time to gather enough pulls in case I'll lose 75/25:messenger_weary:

Just checked and it looks like I'm at least 35 pulls away from 75/25, so it's not that bad and dreadful as I thought, but still, it's not 100% guaranteed and anything can happen:messenger_face_screaming::messenger_grimmacing_

I haven't played the game since the second part of the prior story update, after I got Phoebe, lvl her up to 80 and finished her part of the story, I still have the second part of the current patch left so I better get everything finished before they'll launch Zani, while at the same time getting through the story of GF2 and story event there.

Take care, my man! Enjoy your break, take the time you need to recharge and see you around if/when you decide to come back!

Funnily enough, I'll have to thank Hoyo and Kuro for helping me save quite a bit of money now that most of my gaming time is dedicated to gachas, lol. Like seriously, I've just checked my spending for the same period this year versus last year (January 1 to March 31), and I've spent €1,000 less on gaming in 2025 than I did in 2024. :messenger_grinning_sweat:
 
Help, they're killing me! :messenger_tears_of_joy:
P.S - Play with characters you like and don't bother your head with all sorts of lists.
100% agree but my god the irony of seeing you type this after reading your first few pages of posts in this thread. It sounds like you finally found your zen.

Yea, once you get into the right mindset and habits, gachas are pretty reasonable in terms of amount spent to time played. Unfortunately there's some muddying of the waters there because I have a lot of playtime that I'm not actively enjoying, like farming materials to build characters and doing endgame modes that I hate for pull currency.
 
So again a bit of HSR rambling, but I finally managed to snag Castorice after ~160 pulls. Yeah, it looks like the bad RNG follows me in all Hoyo games, but at least with WuWa things are better.

Anyway, I've been having a lot of fun with it, and I think I've put in about 25 hours in the last 3 days. It kinda helps that there's not much going on this Easter week at work, and since I'm WFH, I can leave the game on my second monitor and do my work stuff on my primary monitor. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Oh, and for this anniversary patch, there's this idle management game called star rail world that's very addictive. Out of the 25 hours, I think I spent about 5-6 hours on it alone, lol.

At delegation right now, have to pretend I'm grown up, serious and shit. Can't wait to come back home Friday and pull the shit out of SK.

Also regarding that top pulls poll, well, every poll where my gal Cam is #1 is alright with me.

Same here, it's hardly the best time I had playing WuWa and ZZZ tbh, both of which have from passable to terrible end-game modes (with and exception of Lost Void in ZZZ) and offer complete shit in terms of rewards for your wasted time and there's no way to Auto it.

GF2 does it the best out of all gachas I've played, cuz there's plenty of pull currency for both standard and character banners cuz devs are very generous and when you've done farming available lvl of difficulty manually one time, you can just Auto it until refresh (provided you have tickets) and you can also completely Auto farm resources as well by doing 3 different things since the latest update.

It's great man, especially when you know how much time it saves for you and when you know who exactly you're going to be pulling waaay in advance (CN version was released 1,5 years ago) and you don't have to worry that much about banners, just collect pulls until you really need them and you'll have plenty of lvl up and upgrade resources by the time you do.

Totally agree about GFL2. Best "daily" game that I've played.

So some more info is coming out about Censorgate™ in WuWa. Looks like the driver of the censorship might have been the EU (with PEGI). This image is a bit suspect, but supposedly they reached out for more info, so we'll see I guess.

9x6qn91n5bve1.jpeg


So PEGI forced 16+ rating due to Cantarella, causing Kuro to panic and also censor Fleurdelys to revert back to PEGI 12.

My thoughts on this whole shitfest is basically - All gachas should have to be 18+ if they have gambling, regardless of other controversial content.

Kinda pissed that Kuro chose that they HAD to keep 12+ rating over staying true to their original direction and the fanbase. Not really happy with them right now.

Seems a bit odd to me that PEGI would reply to a rando in the first place. And the answer looks weirdly specific and even a bit non-PR.

Dunno, but I'm not buying it, and I wish someone with journalistic credentials would reach out to PEGI, but most of the gaming medias don't really give af about gachas.

Also, GAF is again slow for me. Takes ages to load some of these threads...

Agreed, somebody posted the whole email though, so it looks less made up:

They are a public/consumer organization, so it would fall into their duties to respond to questions from the public.

Yea, and lots of secondaries on Reddit and Twitter are doing the usual song and dance and celebrating censorship because it only effects something that doesn't interest them. Kinda ironic when the Scar censorship had them all riled up previously, but memory of a goldfish I guess.

Growing pains from the upgrade, I'd imagine.

I hope we get some clarification directly from Kuro about what happened here. Not that the actual things that were censored are THAT big of a deal, but I find myself increasingly dismayed with companies that do it and try to sweep it under the rug. It's less about the particular things and more about how Kuro handled the whole situation, namely the communication to the players aspect. There's plenty of games to play these days, with more on the way, and I won't support this kind of thing with my money or my time.

About the email, maybe it's some kind of tier 1 support, because after rereading the response, the reply sounds even weirder to me. Why would they say this line: "We're told this content has been removed by the publisher. We have therefore reverted the game's rating to its original PEGI 12"?

It's up to PEGI to rereview the content that was flagged as inappropriate for the original age rating, not just to trust the word of a publisher that they changed the content in question. So, I guess I have more questions now than I did before, since this screenshot doesn't make much sense to me.

Also, that user's signature (?) in the email they sent randomly mentions India? LOL

Yea I get what you're saying. I'm just going to wait for more info. Regarding the India thing, I think the original mail was sent via a form on the PEGI website. you can see the link in the image. It takes you here:


Which does appear to be a valid inquiry form.

Yeah, I'm def waiting for more details on this, because it seems a bit too suspicious to me. I also checked the /r/gachagaming thread about this screenshotted response from PEGI, and of course, a lot of the top upvoted comments don't even question the authenticity of the email... how convenient.

This whole censoring bs reminds of all the shit Atlus did with the Switch version of Tokyo Mirage, except there they also removed bone lines etc., not to mention the whole scenes were altered or removed from the game iirc.
 
Are you guys receiving notifications when someone posts on this topic?

It's one of the topics that frequent most here on GAF but ever since the update, notifications for this have been AWOL on my end.

Also SK pullers, how are those pulls going?

I don't really use that feature because I post in a lot of threads, and I also receive a lot of notifications due to starting many threads so I disabled notifications for them. Have the OT bookmarked though.

As for Shorekeeper, going to pull for her later today after work. If I get lucky I'm tempted to pull for another sequence and get an additional dupe with corrals, but I might be getting ahead of myself, so we'll see.

Nice, provided you have it just try putting Variation on her first, rotation-wise theyll work the same and you can hit max ER either way, id only go for her sig if you think its worth it for the looks.

Thank the seven I managed to win my 50/50 and snagged Rover's true wife in around 70 pulls!

I then tried my luck for a sequence, but it looks like my RNG didn't last long. :lollipop_pensive: At least I got a Verina dupe, and now I have a guarantee for Ciaccona.

Buuuuut, I really wanted the first Shorekeeper sequence, so I spent almost all my corrals and got one from the store.

Overall, I'm content with how this banner went for me. Now brb, going to go and build her up (I already have almost all the mats, including echos).

But before doing that, gotta drop this fresh short with Wifekeeper from one of our JP bros. :messenger_sunglasses:

 
Last edited:
I'll have to say that CN bros > JP bros when it comes to WuWa content creation. Like this Guilty Crown OP remake with Shorekeeper is pretty next level...



And speaking of SK, I just finished building her up, and also maxed out all her skills.

OK SK is bonkers buff wise.

What exactly does her S1 do?
It's a pretty nice QoL upgrade for doing easier swaps since it gives 10 extra seconds duration for her ult (33% increase from S0). Oh and there's also a 150% increase to the circle size of her ult which helps since sometimes bosses wander off the circle.

Overall it's a better choice than getting her sig IMO, since as T4keD0wN mentioned earlier, you can already get all the stuff you want for her from Variation, so the sig loses a lot of its appeal.
 
Last edited:
Well did another 10 pull for her S1 but got Calcharo instead. I'm now sitting on guaranteed and I think I'll just save it for Zani.

At the end of the day 40 pulls for a SK and a future guaranteed isn't bad at all.
 
I'm scared to pull for her when I get home, my luck has been terrible in WuWa. Oh well, gotta try.

Edit
Well that was a complete nightmare, lost the 50/50 to Encore. Fml lol

Edit
Well after some consideration I've decided I'm going to drop WuWa, sustained bad luck for months , and too many other games I'm playing. It's a neat game and some of the character designs are good, but honestly there wasn't anyone that really blew me away in first place, like Raiden Shogun level.
It was fun while it lasted. Hope you guys enjoy your time on Sol3 or whatever it's called lol

Congrats to those of you that got SK. Supposedly her banner today eked out her original day 1 run by a little bit.

Icymanipulator Icymanipulator sorry to see you go, but yea, there's only so many of these games you can reasonable play.

I'm kinda holding on my position right now until we see how this censorship thing plays out.

Sorry to hear you're leaving, man... I've had my fair share of bad luck in the gachas I'm playing, and I know how not pulling the unit you want makes you reconsider whether you actually want to invest your time and/or money in them.

I'd suggest at least checking out the anniversary livestream before dropping the game altogether (it's in one day from now). Also, I'm not sure how caught up you are with the story, but if you enjoy that aspect in gachas, you should give the 2.2 main quest story a chance, as it's one of the best MSQ's they've released so far, imo.
