Lately, it's become a bit of a burden for me to follow the story of some gacha games. Back when I started my first gacha, FGO in 2018, it was the only gacha I ever had to invest in, with the story and events making it very easy to enjoy and manage. Nowadays there are just too many gachas to keep up with. Is that just me? Sometimes it's more convenient to skip event dialogue so you don't fall behind. With the story, sometimes I don't even bother anymore, or new updates just make it harder to come back at a good point in the schedule and pick up where you left off. It gets a little overwhelming at times, and it makes me feel conflicted more than anything else. I really love these games, but sometimes I can't even play them the way I want to without some compromise or constraint. As more and more Gacha games are released, this problem becomes even more apparent. How do you manage this problem with the time you have?

Dear Commander, Here’s the preview of the special event Summer Garden of Forking Paths which will come online on Aug. 6th after maint. Episode 15 of the main story is about to begin.

Thought this could be of interest to someone.

Gameplay portion contains:

• brief look at characters
• exploration
• combat
• driving and car customization
• purchasable player apartment
• weather and night time

I want to play a game where I can put together a team or items so that they work together really well and it's satisfying.

I'm not talking about nitty gritty things like oh this gives 50% more damage when paired with this. I mean more like oh this character freezes the enemy then this character deals extra damage to frozen enemies and then this character stuns unfrozen enemies long enough to re freeze them

-Login gift of 30k crystals everyday until then -All paid shop items changed to one in game gold -game will continue to operate in limited capacity after shutdown so players can still enjoy character art and story.

I've got my gacha burnout a few months ago, and I want to go back to chasing waifus and stressing the gacha life. Do you have any recommendations?

Previously I played, Summoners War, Epic 7, Genshin Impact, Counterside, Guardian Tales. I wanted to start HSR, but I haven't got the motivation to start.

Personally I still play Alchemy Stars from time to time just because of Fleur.

The BrownDust2 servers are up.
