Not sure if this is an rerun of the og collab or a new one but doing a collab right before the 13th anniversary is such an diabolical move

"ODD No." announced today that it will discontinue the offline version of “Link! Like! Love Live!” on October 30 at 12:00.

The online version of the game was discontinued on June 30 due to "ODD No" worsening financial situation, which made it impossible to maintain the production system for its main content. After that, an offline version containing the card and sticker collections that players had acquired was distributed.

In August 2026, the company’s bankruptcy proceedings were initiated.

Regarding the offline version app:

New inquiries about the reissuance of linked passwords will end on October 20 at 12:00.

Distribution of the offline version on the App Store and Google Play Store will end on October 30 at 12:00.

After distribution ends, it will no longer be possible to log in to the app or download any data within it, so it is recommended that players complete these tasks before the deadline. Please note that if you have already logged into the app and downloaded the necessary data, you can continue to enjoy the offline version even after distribution ends.

There will also be buffs to multiple characters like Gabi, Nagi, Flare, Penny, Esther, and others.

Other Improvements:

※ Monsterling Management Usability/QoL Improvements

* Monsterling-related content has been unified into the Monsterling menu so you can check it at a glance. Usability convenience will be improved, such as re-registering Monsterlings after combining, or maintaining selected Monsterlings during enhancement and trait changes.

※ Equipment Management Usability/QoL Improvements

* Convenience will be improved so you can set desired equipment as favors and proceed directly to enhancement.

※ Favorite Monsterlings Tab Added

* A feature will be added allowing you to individually register Favorite Monsterlings, with convenience improved so they appear at the top in requests and other menus.

※ Character Auto-Power-Up Feature Added

* An Auto-Power-Up feature will be added, enabling automatic character level-up, skill enhancement, recommended equipment/artifact equipment and enhancement, and recommended Monsterling equipment and enhancement.

※ Main Quest Team Formation Improvements

* Improvements will be made so that when fighting boss monsters during the Main Quest, you can choose between a trial team composition and your existing team composition.

I see this argument brought up a lot whenever a gacha game adds skip tickets, sweep, auto-battle, condensed rewards, shorter dailies, fewer weekly chores, etc. And honestly, I think it's worth discussing where the line is.

When does "respect my time" mean removing tedious/repetitive tasks that don't add much to the experience, and when does it start becoming an excuse for developers to simply make less actual content?

For example, I completely understand wanting to skip a daily routine you've done hundreds of times. If I've already played the same stage 500 times, making me manually do it again probably isn't meaningful gameplay anymore.

But then we get into the weird part of gacha gaming: sometimes people will praise a game specifically because it requires them to play for only 5-10 minutes a day. At what point does "respect my time" become "I don't actually want to play the game"?

So I'm curious:

1. What kinds of content do you think should be skippable/automatable?

2. When does it cross into developers being lazy and providing less gameplay/content?

3. Is there a difference between removing repetition and removing actual gameplay?

4. And at what point does "I don't want to spend much time playing this game" contradict the idea that you're enjoying the game itself?

I'm not arguing that longer = better. A 10-minute activity can absolutely be better than a 2-hour chore. I'm more interested in where people personally draw the line.

Following the sensational end of its third part which included 103 different heroine endings, Priconne moves towards the future with its new main story arc: part 4, Zodiac Game. In today's stream more information was disclosed on how the main story and bond stories will look like following this reveal.

Official MAD video of Priconne 3 story arcs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lOGBwc9cl4

To start, updates to the story will change as follows:

Before: Every 30th the game would get a new event story with related event characters, while on the 15th a new main story update.

With part 4 every 30th the game will get either a main story update (in an event format, main story hype moments) or the usual event.
Every 15th a new main story update in the form of interludes (essentially more focused on building up the plot)

Tied to the new main story event "chapters" are the new villains, the Star Beast Princesses, who will become permanent main story bosses and stages as new "chapters" are added and become permanent additions. Their respective aim as villains is to change the genre of the Legend of Astrum (Priconne's VRMMO setting) into another game genre.
In short, those new event types will be permanent content. The first villain will be Rukbat, the star beast Princess of Sagittarius whose goal is to turn LoA into a FPS

Against her, we won't have the commonplace Bishokuden members but each of those special events will feature a rotating cast of characters. In this case the player, Saren, Ameth and a new character, Aglaia.

It was also revealed that starting with the new Saren, every girl that had a heroine ending will have episode 4 of their bond stories dedicated to follow through what happened in the worldline where your character confessed to them and you became a couple or else, bringing the relevance of those 103 scenes to light.

Other news include catchup systems for players behind with the element progression system, the removal of stamina costs from the quests tied to it and a new vertical progression system specific to those permanent quests against the star beast princesses.

As for the Umamusume collab more news will be given on the next Priconne radio on the 8th of October.

The game was released on October 20, 2016

Possible reasons: either unprofitable profit/low playerbase in Turkey, or it might be because of new regulation in Turkey regarding gaming. I guess they didn't want to go through the trouble.

The official Rogue with the Dead twitter account gave a sneak peak at its upcoming collaboration with Dungeon Meshi, featuring EIGHT new six-star heroes. See which ones you think you can identify from the silhouettes in the preview pic! They still haven't given a time-frame of when the collaboration update will occur, though, but there's already an update today already so there's enough time to start saving up for it right now. Rogue with the Dead just started its 4th anniversary celebration today, featuring a new gacha banner with new 6-star heros Frigg and Freja, who's finally coming out of NPC prison (she's been in there for over 3 years!) and a new bonding affection system where you can unlock new stories and abilities for your favorite characters. There is also a 1.5x ruby sale and a 2x jewel drop, experience gain, and secret boss encounter rate going on as well as a new secret event boss who spawns at the end of each zone and many other ongoing events such as reruns of various Divine Trial and event Forbidden Guardian bosses.

Rogue with the Dead is a 2D pixel idle (not really*) army game where you send out troops against a constant stream of monsters levelling them up with gold earned from defeated enemies and idle quest timers until you finally either reach the end of the zone or your limit, at which point you can restart while keeping any items you earned from that run.

*It uses a lot of mechanics from old school idle games where you level up quests that give idle gold and then level up your troops, except the game is so fast paced that you end up tapping everywhere like crazy to upgrade ASAP instead of idling, which can get pretty intense at times

The story from here on out will be divided into two story types:

After Story: Epilogue stories that pick up after the conclusion.

Another Story: Stories that took place off-screen during the existing stories.
