I'm making this thread in case anybody want to talk about it and no, EN server is still not available
I must say that I am extremely impressed with both the visuals and the soundtrack, like more so than usual. Gacha tends to do very well in this respect to draw people in but Blue Archive specifically goes above and beyond here. It's also nice to see Live2D used more frequently rather than saved as an exception for ultra rare or limited units or instances. I'm also very pleased with the sheer variety of students as there is a respectable range, so for someone like me that loves and appreciates both pettan and muchimuchi, it's fantastic.What do you guys think of it?
You already posted an excellent example of one in Sora, but there are a few others that stand out to me, the most notable of which being Hina, who also receives a swimsuit variant. There's something about these dominating, dark-aligned loli that really get me going (think fully Foreigner Abigail Williams as a good analog). I genuinely regret I had to forego her in my re-rolls (she was my first roll) for a more meta team.Which girls are cute and funny?
Full disclosure, my knowledge of this game is very limited, so the following may not be the most reliable. I'm pretty much juggling four gacha now after having managed only two (F/GO, Arknights) for the longest, and I'm now also trying out Revived Witch (played in the CBT, but it released fully two days after Blue Archive).Advice on being less retarded in game?

Considering you have the foresight to save ahead, do you have any idea what the average anticipated paid currency is required to get a rate-up? The ability to save for and acquire students I would like is going to be critical in determining whether or not I'm going to bother playing into the future. Having heard what I have about limited units and banners, I'm not feeling too hopeful.I'm saving my pyroxenes for the sukumizu version. Hopefully i have 24k by the time she's out here to spark it.
I just checked one of the re-roll tier lists I was using, and for what it's worth, she is reasonably ranked, so I don't think you've got to worry there. She's cute as heck, and honestly, that's all that really matters. I sympathize with your distate of rerolling completely, and I totally agree that if it's something they're even going to permit, they need to stop dicking around and let us get whichever units we want.I got Hoshino on my starter roll, she's cute so i stopped there. I CBA to reroll forever anymore with gatcha's. I really wish every game would just follow SinoAlice example and let you repull the starter roll to your hearts content. One of the only things that game did right.
Excellent analogy! I have to wonder actually if they were inspired by it, especially in terms of their overall treatment of the ladies.The chibi models remind me allot of Bombergirl and they look really good.
This is something to which I was alluding previously when it comes to having a bunch of systems as some (if not many) of them are either needlessly complicated or altogether not worth the time investment to understand them.Crafting is weird on the other hand, the shit you craft is sort of random and the cafe seems kinda pointless. Especially since the only way to get furniture is through said random crafting system.
From what i've heard the rates are pretty bad. I can't really tell personally since i only did 2 x10 pulls for the starter mission and haven't pulled since. Time will tell i guess.Considering you have the foresight to save ahead, do you have any idea what the average anticipated paid currency is required to get a rate-up?

A bit ironic that you mention SINoALICE as an example of doing things right, as honestly I couldn't even get beyond the reroll screen on my end (honestly, I'm not a fan of rolling for weapons anyway). It was perhaps a bit premature to rage there, but given how things have turned up with that game, I saved myself the wasted effort.
Speaking of reroll systems, Revived Witch has a pretty interesting method where you are given one-hundred free rolls, but you only get to keep one and you can't revisit past rolls. I'd say out of all the systems I've done thus far, this is the best, though as a CBT participant I couldn't re-roll even if I wanted. For those who can, it'll take a lot less refreshes in total to actually get what you want. It's a lot better than the frustrating ten minute attempts required with Blue Archive where five whole minutes after the wasted roll you had to play with those units. Such a waste of time.

I'm certainly hoping crafting turns out better as the game progresses, otherwise it's going to be needless busywork that a gacha doesn't need. Dunno what's up with the café either.
Disgusting. Spineless. Embarrassing. A bit of a ranty post ahead, because holy fuck this is bad.Well the it was fun while it lasted guys, looks like the censorship will continue.
It's for the best, I believe. The game is no longer worth anyone's time, effort, or money. If they've done this, then they will surely do more in the future. They have lost and goodwill generated thus far, and they have proven there is no merit to their word. Imagine actually proclaiming yourselves to have artistic integrity and then doing literally the exact opposite of that not long after the game is released and your claws have dug in to players. Many such cases, yet all of them still sad!Goodbye Blue Archive, time to put her down
Let's hope it sticks. Feels like at some point, either the developers use their pull or Google does their own thing and justified review bombs are disappeared or countered by "definitely legitimate" positive reviews that come out of fucking nowhere. I can easily see it being bolstered up to the high-three if not the low-four range after the damage control proceeds to full effect.The current score on the playstor. Well deserved.

Looks like their going to make 2 versions of the game after getting poked by the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee to either adjust the content or raise the age rating, so their going to make a version that's uncensored, looks like all the shit thrown at them did something I guess.
Fuck why couldn't they have done this already
Greetings, Sensei!
Did you enjoy the Valentine's Day Event with Wakamo?
Looking at the community today, many Senseis have recently joined us here at Blue Archive.
This recent growth has been a great opportunity to reaffirm our development, business, and operation teams' desires to not lose the game's guiding vision.
Also, I hope you'll enjoy the new event story, "The Clumsy Sister and the Magician of the Old Library." You'll get to meet the new students, Ui and Hinata.
And you'll have a chance to earn Trinity Academy materials by completing the Event Tasks!
Today I would like to address something outside of our game updates.
This September, we received a guideline from the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee to either adjust the game's art and resources or raise the game's age rating.
The quickest and easiest response would have been to make those adjustments.
However, thinking of the Aris scene's adjustment last time and as a PD, I was worried about negatively affecting our Senseis' game experience with repeated changes if and when similar issues happen to arise in the future.
And so, we on the development team have decided to raise the game's age rating so that Senseis can enjoy our original content, and then we'll create another app version of the game containing the adjusted resources.
The version with the adjusted resources will undergo a thorough review so we don't damage the characters’ visual personalities. We will always notify you of any changes made in the adjusted version.
To note, these separate game versions will not affect your accounts in any way.
Please feel free to select the version appropriate for your age and enjoy the game without concern.
When a game is in live operations, conditions outside of the actual game can sometimes cause unexpected issues and changes, but we will respond thoroughly to any such issues so that you may continue enjoying Blue Archive with as little disturbance to your gameplay experience as possible.
There are many other events we have been preparing outside of the game itself that I will announce the next time we speak.
I hope we meet again soon, Sensei!

Not sure about other platforms, but the people on the Fediverse were pretty pissed about this statement, and how they should have done this earlier. They might give it another chance though, hard to beat the cute and funny designsinteresting
I avoided the game both due to having too many gotchas to deal with and the censorship issues above. so maybe this will mean a lot of people will give them another chance
since the game is def cute and funny. a lot of nice designs
gacha = download cute pics off pixiv/gelbooru/exhentaiNot sure about other platforms, but the people on the Fediverse were pretty pissed about this statement, and how they should have done this earlier. They might give it another chance though, hard to beat the cute and funny designs
IMO understandable, they did this because it was gonna affect KR which always had the censorship taken out of it. EN got included just because it's global by association, they never cared enough about EN people.Not sure about other platforms, but the people on the Fediverse were pretty pissed about this statement, and how they should have done this earlier.
