#or that they were on the solomon's seals banner (even tho people suspected that was the case)

I've been too scared to say it, but yes I agree. I'm of the opinion that you can't keep on using the "first gacha game from a small dev team" excuse after a certain point, because this just reeks of very predatory pricing strategies with little to no regards for a positive gameplay experience. I keep on telling others interested in WHB if they're interested in tower defense gameplay and not the charas/plot of WHB in particular, then just play Arknights (which, news flash, has the angel/Sankta Executor the Ex Foedere releasing in 5 hours!) or Path to Nowhere. It's that bad, and I can't recommend WHB in good faith knowing what already happened in the game. Especially when I see so many questionable decisions in the tower defense portion that is just a huge turn-off for me to keep playing.

Paywalling units in a gacha, especially units that are meta-defining, will always leave a sour taste in my mouth. I don't particularly enjoy the Resplendent Hero mechanic for Fire Emblem Heroes, but I grit my teeth and accept it nonetheless because they're buffs for older units that don't exactly break the game in half despite being paid (if you want a game-breaking set of units look no further than the current Christmas banner with Duo Byleth, Dimitri, Edelgard, and Yunaka). The only reason why I'd consider buying Resplendent Takumi is because Takumi is my fave Fire Emblem character, that's it.

And I absolutely HATE to bring this up again but Limbus Company, despite being the first gacha game from a dev team with roughly the same size as WHB (in fact I wager Limbus has less staff working on the game, since around half of their 30-ish staff members work at their merch café), did a ton of research on gachas and their gameplay. The end result is an amazing game that, despite its buggy release, was loved because of the amazing world and characters, intuitive gameplay which is basically a more streamlined and remixed Library of Ruina (their previous game), and general generosity. Which unfortunately all came crashing down after the Vellmori debacle back in July.

But yeah, that's my own two cents. I want to love this game, I really do. But at this point I've already considered dropping the game multple times, and the dev team's decisions just aren't helping their case.

I've seen a lot of people at the beginning saying "don't be so mean, it's their first gacha game"... Sorry? Not even obey me is so unfair! I truly love this game & the characters & most of the fandom, if I didn't want Lucifer so badly then I'd just quit & now I'm afraid that he's gonna be behind a paywall.

Like, they didn't even look at how other gachas work? Cuz that's the first thing you do when it's your first time doing X type of game.

I understand that you want money, but the prices of the Solomon seals are waaaaay too much (almost 10€ for ONE) & the f2p are stuck without a single chance to get the angels! At least give us a 10 pull goddamnit. Or don't even put them in the CHANCE UP gacha cuz it's not even chance up, it's only chance.

Also, nightmare coins... What are they actually for? They only unlock one tier & not even the reward.

In 2 days they did everything to destroy a really good game & to make their own fandom not even want to get close to it... Which is sad cuz I've been there since their insta started promoting it
