      Hoyo and Kuro are companies, not philantropies. They must make money, people invested in them from their own pockets and expect a return.
      But to make money they must create value...and currently, while Genshin is great and improving, I see no reason to spend in a company which needed the competition poking their asses to start showing a little bit of respect for its costumers.

      Hell, here's a topical example: Kokomi is my absolute least favorite character in all of Genshin, one reason being her design. I've gained _nothing_ by having her on my account. But if she ever got her old "Mimi" design back as a skin, it'd be a Day 1 purchase and I'd pull her off the bench yesterday.

      aside from skins we need a better whale sink in the game. its just healthy for the game. I can give some examples that probably cant be implemented now
      1. make weapon banner guaranteed for the first copy of the weapon then 50/50 with pity
      2. add more elements
      3. Lock gear exchange in ToA
      4. add more weapon types like two handed axes, hammers, spears, snipers, dagers etc. ppl will need more 5 star options that way.
      5. add asterite sink. examples 60 asterites to rollback echo to lv 1.
      the idea is to have something that whales are willing to pay more for while not ruinning but encriching low spenders /f2p experience

    Thank God WuWa was made. It's basically everything we ever wanted in Genshin... But better. I am a Hardcore player and Genshin wasn't it for me so I hopped on to WuWa and never regretted it. I'm a Mobile player with a SnpDrgn 8+ Gen 1 and it was frickin atrocious and it still is. Lowering the Graphics doesn't work so I don't know what the problem is. If it really is my phone's problem then it is what it is 😅
    Edit: I've heard people say the performance issues are because of WuWa using Unreal Engine which requires more updated hardware than others like Unity. But Guys let me just say this... Pubg Mobile is made with Unreal Engine and I can play it at Maxed Out settings with Minimal lag and heat 💀

      It's the performance optimization issues. If Kuro manages to fix this, it will 100% boost this game's popularity because it is the only thing in my opinion that Genshin has over Wuwa.
      I have a mid range phone, and after some tweaks, I'm able to play Wuwa somehow. I installed Genshin yesterday to check how it was and while I was able to run it at around 50-60 fps easily, it was lack luster, slow and didn't feel fun anymore (I'm Ar 45 in that btw, so you can't say I don't know my ropes around that game also played quite a lot during 2022-23)

      i also did spend because i wasn't getting scammed.
      I did the terrible mistake in GI to "fall in love" with some characters and wanting to give them the best and rolled on that disgusting weapon banner.
      I remember doiung this during the 3.2 or something when Yelan and Hu Tao was there. I wanted both weapon if possible but i had money for one. I wanted Yelan one.
      Result .? I got frustrated when i got the homa staff and used real money to get the Yelan Weapon.
      I got it but at what cost ? 2 Homa staff basically at hard pity. Which means : 450 € spend.
      I was so ashamed of myself i didn't admit it to anyone for a while. It's also expensive in Wuwa tbh....but when i SPEND i know where its going.
      I didn't spend much on the game so far but if the game stays good, i'll be a light spender in it and im sure that's enough. Just knowing i can reliably roll on the weapon banner is reassuring.

What's important is to learn the actual game THEY'RE playing(us) and realize we don't NEED anything in these games to be happy.

    4:03 I have to disagree with "outdated hardware". Respectfully I think you do not know what you are talking about in this area, and is quite misleading and blaming users outright.
    Recommended settings are put as to much how they can get away with technical support. If your code is inefficient, it will run sluggish.
    I run both a new ryzen7 + 4090 + ssd AND I5 8300H + 1050Ti + ssd, and both are stuttery, despite both running at 120+ fps.
    Some optimization are released 3-4 weeks after launch and it improved the game a little bit.
    Recently I found 2 reddit posts about optimization. The first one is disabling a usb suspend setting, and the other tweaking engine.ini.
    I did both and the game now runs buttery smooth.
    The stutters are caused by multiple factors, one of which the usb setting was being remote polled by tencent's ace anti cheat.
    Wuthering waves is a huge blessing, as it brings competition and better service for both games.
    Unless you know UE4, and test games with both low and high end for a living, please refrain from making such comments.

    Im playing Wuwa and gonna continue playing it. But saying that Wuwa doesn't have optimization issues is simply ignorant. I have a decent PC and meet very frequent fps drops below 60 to this day. Even if i set all settings to lowest and limit fps to 45 - i still have those drops. Fps framerate graph is very bumpy, but using fps limiter from Afterburner suddenly makes it smooth as a butter. Turning on the DLSS makes the game literally laggy. I have a sompletely smooth gameplay (without any drops) in a way better looking Cyberpunk on high settings (even with RT, if i use FSR frame gen mod), but graphically unimpressive Wuwa still manages to stutter.

    I'm not gonna lie. I'm puzzled every time someone points out that a MASSIVE player base has a large amount of undesirable people in it. We're acting as if it's a new thing. Yet we have so many other examples, like the WoW "community", or BTS Army, or BlackPink Blinks...you name it.
    That being said, the launch was bad. I have an R7 5700X + RX 6800, and it was painful on launch. Also, the 3-4 year old game bit is weird. The recommended hardware specs indicate that this is simply not a demanding game. So, imo, you can't just relegate this to "poor hardware". As far as I'm concerned, the game had some optimization issues, and that's before we ever start talking about the mobile experience. I feel like they did drop the ball on that one and to be honest, they might still not quite be there for mobile players...if that's a platform they actually want to capitalize on.
    In any case, whether it's doomed the game or not depends on how Kuro measures success. As long as they make enough to keep working on, and improving the game then I'm a happy camper and I'll keep supporting the game for as long as I have fun playing it.

    I am inclined to believe that those who say they still experience issues isn't really the game's fault but most probably 9/10 chance a device/setting/end-user issue.
    That said the compensation we got plus WuWa's complete generosity had a massive ripple effect on people's spending habits in game.

      Disagree on the "probably 9/10 chance a device/setting/end-user issue".
      I think the game did have some actual optimization problems. Now, I no longer experience said issues, but I'm unconvinced that my "R7 5700X + RX 6800" combo would have been unable to handle this game when other more demanding titles run smoothly at various settings. I built my own machine, and I consider myself at least somewhat technologically informed and able. As far as I'm personally concerned, the game *had* issues.
      I do agree that your argument may have been true for some users, maybe not most.

      Other than that their weren't some big major problems as long as you have a required specs (PC), installed it in a sata ssd i7-6700 32gb ram with 6600 (hundreds of firefox tabs when playing) before but only got stuttering problems.
      It might not be 90% but theirs definitely some end-user issue, but im betting 100% its the issue of OS not being reset for more than 4 yrs, which they might not know, they're might be some driver problems etc or just the windows OS in general especially WIn 11, then their was the HDD problem which Kuro might not have anticipated that some people still use HDD for some games they definitely didn't work optimizing or making it work on HDD, and given the minimum requirements of WuWa requires a 16GB Ram, some people who have less than that probably might be encountering some problems.

    short answer: yes, long answer: absolutely
    this game is a very mixed bag for me, in terms of quality and optimization. i'm a day 1 player and calcharo main, and i played on mobile for about 2 months cause i didn't have a pc (i literally bought one just to play wuwa cause i couldn't stand mobile anymore) and this game is awful on mobile. it feels like this is a game meant for pc, with specs that demand a long term, higher end specs to run it smoothly. i have an s21 ultra (128gb storage) and my phone became a small sun after 45 minutes of playing and would experience issues to the point where i couldn't even log in at times cause i was just battling lag, stutter, awful controls and constant server drops. while i didn't get the mobile breaking bugs that were crculating, i came close to quitting cause of just how bad it was on mobile but i refused to miss out on currency and freebies that i forced myself to keep going in preparation for it to eventually come to console.
    i'ma say, i'm not exactly a fan of a game releasing in such a poor state and offering enough compensation for people to turn their heads away and forgive them just enough while they patch themselves into something feasible. it's already an issue in the gaming industry, and i feel like people praising the compensation is just giving the message to companies that they can continue to do this. while i'll never say no to free rewards, it didn't impress me. the game should not have released in the state that it was, it needed more time in cbt to address and fix the issues that ended up making it into the launch version. also, coincidentally, their first livestream was not great, so the launch was just double whammied.
    i like this game, i really do, and i really, really want it to succeed and provide healthy competition while also learning from the other gachas it's competing with, but everyone and their dog that's hoping and praying it's not going to end up like every other gacha game, where you just log in, do your dailies, maybe farm a little, and log out in 15, 20 minutes is very naive. it will become that eventually when you run out of content depending on how fast it takes you to get through it. it's combat is really good, but that's not enough, imo, to keep the game going, and i hope kuro branches out and experiments with this game because they are getting the revenue for that to be possible.

    Highly disagree with your point of majority of players having outdated hardware data.
    Even some streamers like Mr Pokke had a decked out PC that can run Elden Ring and Sekiro had some troubles with wuwa on launch with the constant crashing. So it is definitely not a hardware issue.
    Your points on saying how the players expected too much from KuroGames is a weak argument and point. Because that is the market they are trying to target. Being an overworld gacha game that is trying to scoop up unsatisfied Genshin players, if they fail to appease that market. That's on the company, cause that's the market they want to delve in.
    I personally dislike how Hoyo handle Genshin, and I do have prior experience with KuroGames with Punishing Gray Raven. But there was an optimisation issue that both Global and CN players noticed and voiced out on.
    As for your point on how someone's 6 year old's device can play wuwa while others can't? There is a Reddit post that managed to figure out what was causing the optimisation issues. The game's anti cheat. And after much investigation, the OP even found out that players with certain high spec PC or devices can face optimisation issues due to system memory. So high RAM can cause such issues.

    The system requirements debacle was so hilarious because it happened before with PGR global first event but for a very different reason but all the same cause, reading issue. For context, when a new patch is released there will be two debut banners for the new character. First one has a hard pity of 60 but lower drop rate for the debut character. Second one has a hard pity at 100 but soft pity starting at 80 and has a higher drop rate. Both banners guarantee the debut character at hard pity. Veterans will always tell you to always roll on the first banner for debut characters. Well guess what happened, those same people who never read rolled on the second banner. Essentially fucking up their entire saved rolls. Who they blamed? Kuro.

I started when Kuro handed out that ridiculously big compensation that my friend told me about), out of curiosity, I asked around on why the Chinese community in Genshin is like that. Apparently it was over a nerf that the CN community complained about. So that community went ahead and got the Chinese Government involved to investigate it. What concluded was 10 free pulls and an unnerf.

    From the information you provided, it seems like Kuro is the only one who knows how to do business. Yeah, launch performance was terrible even for my laptop that surpass recommend spec, but they compensate (in other word, stating that they care about player) very well, so no one hates it. And the Gacha that doesn't aim toward milking as much money as possible. Sure, they won't grow as fast as Mihoyo (and the likes) but Kuro will surpass them eventually because a company aiming for short-term success will experience a short-term succeed, but a company aiming for the long-term success will succeed in the long-term. That's good business, it's been like this for thousands of year. It's like the only reason why they make a Gacha game is because the government doesn't allow a proper paid game (a better business model that's good for the company, and the consumer), not because it makes more money.

    3:48 Players have shown that you can do HSR daily while waiting for WuWa to load. If that isn't an optimization issue, I don't know what is. I know I have an old PC, but the fact that I can play Ghost of Tsushima (on the lowest setting of course) without any issue beside a minute of loading when I first open the game while WuWa is a stuttering mess (also on the lowest setting) show you how a buggy mess WuWa is at launch.
    And you know why Genshin memebers attack WuWa? Its because Genshin haters have been attacking Genshin way before WuWa even came out by saying things like Genshin will die when WuWa came out. Considering the game came out the way it is, Genshin's players now have a bullet to attack WuWa back. As much as I hate tribalism, WuWa got what it deserves.
    6:52 If I understand your point correctly, a game that doesn't let its player play with with an outdated hardware is bad while its good if it in reverse? Huh???
    And the weapon translation is an even worse take as it is a big issue. You're basically telling people that it is okay to sell an item that works differently than what you advertised. Considering that an email leak happen afterword, yes it is a big issue. And considering some people got baited by Jihnsi S2 (it is a poor translation rather than a misleading thing), Kuro really need to have a better localisation team.

    I recon I've been quite lucky with my weapon pulls but FFS, which so much generosity I feel oblied to show some gratitude to Kuro for the fun they've been providing the same way I did with Genshin for the beauty they provided in Genshin (scenary, music, etc).
    So idk how "bad" the launch was, but the game is incredible for being this new, and I expect it to improve once the money rolls in, IF they're not fools.

    The multiplayer for example is the same or in some cases worse than Genshin, pulls are still as expensive as any other gacha game, rewards have slowed down considerably from launch, if the weapon banner can be guaranteed then why not the character banner, etc.

    I tried to reinstall genshin on my phone after 1 years not playing it and the graphics optimization is still strong in 60fps high settings. While Wuthering I put on medium 60fps, it's still can't maintain that juicy 60s. I hope they can fix this.

    The apologism for the technical state of the launch is ridiculous. I am running the current flagship Android SoC and it was a stuttering mess at launch. Unless you're getting paid by Kuro, don't defend poor technical performance.
    That being said, it runs properly for me now. So yeah, it was definitely on the back end of the game somewhere.

The game may not be perfect but its something I can enjoy, and hope for the best that Wuwa can last, and guys, as a community in Wuwa, let's not get provoke by other communities talking trash bout wuwa or us as part of the community/players trash talking about other games(prob mostly Mihoyo games), its better for us to just stick with whatever and whichever games we're playing.

    I played genshin since month 1 of release and to be honest I was blown away by the "generosity" of genshin when it comes to 5 star why you ask? I came from Fate/Grand Order (context when I started no pity but had Pity next month after I started F/GO at 330th pull so many 5 star weapon & character that range from useful to dirt poor level) then when I played Star rail on month 3rd-4th of release I was given a waking call cause of how much better the banner system in that game and see first hand the pitiful state of genshin's quality of life, then when waiting for WuWa I played Nikke and saw first hand what a decent developer's anniversary gifts are (it didn't help that I still remember the 3rd year anniversary when 1.5 anni of nikke is happening), then I played WuWa the game keeps giving me 5 star first 5 star Verina in 10 draws for beginners, then Calcharo, then Jiyan, then Encore for free, then Lingyang and another Encore from losing in character banner for Yinlin but they do give me Jinshi her signiture, and Changli with signiture, without spending anything (I also got Zhizi yesterday) and I immediately know Wuwa isn't gonna be making money anything close to Genshin I still remember the Staff of Homeless and how terrible that is and how scary the weapon banner in Genshin is WuWa Will not overthrow Genshin(atleast for the time being) but it won't die easily a good developer is usually awarded by loyal playerbase And for these reasons I will play wuwa till the game dies it move to my top 3 games I will not uninstall (F/GO is 1st cause I have a Stockholm syndrome with it they abuse me too but I never spent any money on the game and I still have almost all the best supports except waver and summer skadi and have decent DPS with my np5 Muramasa send HELP and probably send some dragon claws too while you're at it preferably the Dragon Claws)

    its a mixed bag for me tbh, my pc handled WuWa launch terribly lots of issues and huge drops in performance but surprisingly my 3yr old mobile phone despite being stuck in low-medium settings it played fine with minimal performance drops the main issue was battery drain and it was to be expected a SD870 is pushed hard with WuWa
    So the compensation rewards was a real treat for me especially the plenty of astrites, additional pulls and the free 5* selector (FREE VERINA!!)
    The way Kuro handled it solidified my position that I will support them the way I supported PGR they know how to treat the playerbase well
    PC has become better with 1.1, I do find myself playing on mobile a bit more due to schedule/work and surprisingly it plays better as well
    I was expecting to completely dial it down to very low and 24-30fps but can still keep it in medium at 45fps still plenty playable

    This gacha system that hoyo popularized tho. Sucks that even kuro adopted it now. Both hoyo and kuro have way better gacha systems in HI3rd and PGR. And the story is pretty meh so far. I dont like how the MC is constantly put on a pedestal by everyone around em. But iirc, thats specifically what the CN side asked for. And some of the charas, particularly 4 star ones dont seem to play amy significant role even when introduced. Hopefully they develop them more like HI3rd and PGar do

    I think I'm about done with Genshin because of Wuwa. Wuwa feels like the game where the devs played Genshin and said let's get rid of all the boring crap. I tried to ignore the forced co op minigames, tower defense and windtrace but all I was left with was pull new characters and farm artifacts. When I lost my 5th 50/50 to a C5 Jean during Arlecchino's banner, I basically said screw this I'm not forcing myself to play for peanut pulls. Luckily I look forward to story, Illusive Realm updates, and even managed to get two limited 5 stars (Yinlin & S1 Changli) and their weapons so Kuro has grabbed me already.
    Now when I think about returning to Genshin for Natlan, my mind thinks nah I can play Wuwa instead lol. I'm sticking to Star Rail though since I'm big on turn based games already.

A game that is poorly optimized is unacceptable and they fked up by not letting the game cook longer. If wuwa had released with no performance issues it wouldve been WAY more acclaimed and wouldve hit hoyo games way more.
    Story has gotten better this patch but man its not a high bar considering how bad the first chapter is.
    The only saving grace IS the combat and characters. They cooked with Changlis design. But now wuwa is just another flavor of open world combat game.

    I've decided I won't give Hoyo any more money, at the start of this year, after realizing fully how they ruin this precious gem Genshin and treat players like sh... I checked out ZZZ, as a game seems pretty nice, although there are flaws and annoying stuff. Most relevant here - that's again it's a stingy system. Plus it amazes me how limited incentives there are to spend. Weapons are... some balls. They add some animation but it's a small detail. In-game models of characters are terribly inexpressive, one Encore is more expressive than whole ZZZ cast, seriously. Their animations are also just poor in comparison to WuWa. In a way even many Genshin characters look more interesting. Game is story-focused and you see and play characters in the stories either way, without spending. Huhh... It's really weird for a gacha game. Either way, no money for Hoyo. I'm a low spender in WuWa, I have so much fun in this game and it's so nice to feel I'm appreciated and feedback can lead to changes. I hope that game will keep improving.
