(Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

I'd like to put out a huge thanks to NutakuDev and Nordland for the great Q&A we're getting here, this is really helpful and reassures me that things are going to get better from here.

I've one question: Are Nutaku's target playerbase numbers across all games, or per game? That is, if Hellfire turns out really popular, could that improve Aigis' progress as well?

Actualy aigis is a game that don't require you to spend any money to be able to play all its content.
Even so in JP aigis survey alot ppl actualy spend tons and tons of money and the number of free player actualy only around 20% out of 779 ppl survey.

Of coz even though it is doable without spending money (i'm 1 of them so i know the content itself), they did have some trick with event that you wish you have more SC.... like farming event followed by gold rush event (with 1.5x drop rate on daily) then item collection event then another 2 farming events at same time(we was not told the event until actual time, well ok 1-2 days before maintenance there already rumour on next event, but still didnt expect a continuation of farming item collect then farm again (wished it star event 1st).
+Additionaly the unit spotlight is that no 1 broken unit black Aisha -.- and some new class

They make you want to spend SC without giving you time to stock more of it.
Of coz this only if you willingly to max your event unit, but its not really required and every farming / collection event the different SC spend to max event unit is so big.
Ex using nagi collection event as refference:
CR-2 = 0 SC and plenty of left over chr / stm
CR-3 = around 10 SC (stm recover only + can start from 2nd part of the map)
CR-4 = around 30 SC (can't use chr anymore and some SC used to recover chr as well as stm)
CR-5 =60++ SC (SC will be keep used to recover chr stm including the natural regen 1 from the very start of event without checking 2nd part of the map yet)

PS: lately they do love to make 1 super ridicolous hard map difficulty jump -.- that made you unable to 3 star it (still able to max event unit)

One important thing to realize is that a game like Aegis likely gets a minimum of 50% of its income from "whales", players who dump large sums of money on the game. The Japanese community's a good example, we've heard plenty of reports concerning players spending ~2000$ to roll for a new Black unit that they like, that's way more than the maybe 20$-60$ a player might spend to max out Nagi.

The lack of updates on the English version is bad for everyone.

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

well at least we will get all 5 sacred crystals for this month during this time.

now about the math of the event xD
how many crystals we needed for a fully developed karma?

oh i have just read Lafate's guide.
i guess i have 11 days to level up 9 times xD

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

I think it is clear to everyone that more events equal a greater demand for sacred crystals. and therefor more revenue, but It takes money to make money. That the devs have a number of users in mind to justify the cost of updates makes sense. If the Japanese team bear most of the development cost, even if it is modest, the number of users they are looking for to justify constant events are going to be higher that what the players or Nutaku wishes.

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

Thanks for the answers. I totally agree with the female events over the male only events. The only reason I asked was because it would be a fun challenge to complete those and I like challenges.

The decision of Sapphire units has my fingers crossed. If there is anything that can be done to affect the decision favorably?



@Nirhael;

What character is your avatar? All I know is that she is a Sapphire unit. What is her class and what can she do?

If that's the case that should've been made known at the start of the game's launch instead of 5 months later with only 4 events to show for it. Good luck getting anyone to spend money "Just because" now that they're overleveled and premium summoning rates are ass for what their cost is.

is a Tenko, which is sort of a Rogue/Samurai hybrid, they have a base 50% chance to evade attacks, block 2 units and attacks both, her skill doubles her HP, Attack and Defense for its duration oh and she's also a no-CC unit. Out of all the Sapphire units, she's probably the only one that's actually worthwhile since she's a very cheap (13 cost) anti-rush unit with Evasion.

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

But.. this is not how you gain players, this is how you lose them.
Well, in the end I understand the reasoning behind such actions from devs. Nutaku has just started spinning, it's not the same as releasing game at such giant as DMM. At DMM you can release the game and go all-in with it, portal is so popular you will get your players, and it pays to dish out content at maximum speed. On new portal, for western audience - not so much, it is terra incognita and they are justifiably unsure on how fast and how far it will go.
So they are willing to join in and try, but as a side dish, not spending too much resources.

And yes, that's just my thoughts which may or may not have anything in common with reality.

Oh well, at least 10 more days till event. That's another 2 platinums to max. Starting to run out of units to level.

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

I wonder if that required game update is for making the game more stable on chrome. If I have the hardware acceleration on, the game gives me some problems with lag and freezing up. Figure this might be what they mean by required game update.

Though I do wonder since the game is doing decently well if the JP dev team is going to speed up the events to at least twice a month? Figure that would help in being in more people since it shows there are a consistent amount of events coming out.

Oh well at least I can farm up more affection items. Gotta figure out who to max level next.

Slightly off topic this does make me wonder a bit more on the other games since each game has its own dev team.

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

Yeah, I consider myself to be a pretty patient guy, but two delays in a row puts a really bad taste in my mouth.

I'd hate to give up on another game because of apathetic devs.

It's particularly frustrating since the localization team has been pretty receptive and great. But the JP devs...

the delays are due to the game being unstable right now.
(we however should get some crystals *wink* *wink* since Jap players get some every time something happens xD!)

anyways. we are in a 3 week cycle right now. with an event every 3 weeks so...there was only one delay really....

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

Given last run before change we can expect it to be at least 4 months. We may even see it go to 6 months if it mirrors what DMM got, so you still have time. You may need to be selective if you are wanting to max more than one specific unit that is available, is the only caveat.

That's good to know, thanks.

For anyone else thinking about this, that's approximately 500-750 crystals on top of whatever you came into the period with. That does require quite a bit of selectivity.

Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)

In my personal opinion, if we are getting new features/game mechanics updates + new event: delay=worth it. NutakuDev and Nordland, thank you for the transparency so far. You are both awesome! *hugs*

Every porny place I visit on the web these days has Nutaku banner advertising (and I visit a lot of such places ). I think you (Nutaku) will get the numbers you need to get the Jap devs on board with frequent updates. I also notice that every day Nutaku's facebook page gets more and more likes.

Soon, our numbers shall be Legion, and our will shall be carried out! Throw sum horns, biatches! *Lyla rolls her eyes but puts up some horns*

Well I finally completed that "mission".
Have to say it made me laugh a little, finally got it, and it's like really?
That's the translation you gave it. /facepalm

Hideo Kojima wants to have a word with the devs about a title like that.

On another note, I've finally assigned a song for that devil goddess we all "love" so much. Avenged Sevenfold's: Sheppard of Fire.
After the guitar solo, fits her to a tee.
