Forgive her

[Niles Sankey @NilesSankey]

A lot of people in the comments are missing the validity of this question, but it's actually an interesting debate.

Traditionally games like Halo (or any game w a fixed time of day) would NOT use dynamic lighting. This is because you can get (in many ways) better lighting results and better performance using lightmaps.

On the flipside, lightmaps requires significantly more development/iteration time and it also increases the game's size (lightmap data). You also can't use Unreal's Lumen features which simulates bounce lighting from dynamic lights (headlamps etc).

I think the most important takeaway is: A dynamic lighting system using Lumen has two major downsides: One is performance, but the other is temporal blotchy lighting artifacts (the "Unreal 5 effect").

Games like Arc Raiders (the gold standard UE5 game imo) use a hybrid approach, which is to use dynamic lighting but disables Lumen. This kinda gives you the best of both worlds, however you won't get simulated light bounce. I also use this solution for my indie game, since it allows me to quickly iterate on lighting but I don't take the performance hit or have the blotchy lighting artifacts.

So the question is a good one, although I would rephrase it: "Why does Halo Remake use dynamic lighting + Lumen, when the world has a fixed time of day?"

I would love to hear from technical artists/devs on the choices Microsoft made here and why those choices were made.

Having women in the game is fine (e.g. Kat in Reach was well written). I've written women into my own games. The issue is artificial writing and lack of awareness.

It's clear that the devs needed to force more diversity into the story, so they made the new main character a girl, as if everything MUST be 50/50, evenly distributed against all logic.

Then they use the excuse of "lore" to make a poorly written character that immediately berates the player, even though it's contextually ridiculous.

The end result is a cliche girl boss telling the player how terrible they are, in a game where your (primarily) male audience is already very skeptical of forced social politics. But the devs/leads never stopped and said "Hmm, maybe the end result here is not achieving our goals of winning back our primary demographic."

It's tone deaf on top of being poorly executed. And this hurts branding, it hurts sales, and will destroy a studio's reputation (whatever's left of it anyway)

This upcoming change perhaps interferes with the message of Blue Archive - because how would people expect to know these stories of students, or just be with them, if you can't even have a garanteed chance on getting them?

And don't tell me that "oh, but you can watch YouTube videos" - cut the bullshit! This is analytic watching, this has to come AFTER you saw it with your both two eyes IN THE GAMR, and felt in your heart, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO IF YOU WATCH SOMEONE ALREADY DOING IT!!!!

LIKE, BRUH, ART IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT ALSO ABOUT SENDING THE MESSAGE - HOW WOULD PEOPLE SEE THE MESSAGE IF IT IS UNDER UNFAIR PAYWALL?!?

Either it's greed, or coup - or there's something seriously wrong with Nexon itself.

[HarveyTheNerdy || comms closed @HarveyTheNerdy2]

Please remember to try and speak out against this change. Even if it’s prob already set in stone at this point, knowing the guy who seemingly caused it, letting ur voice be known is important.

This is a bad change, period, and we shouldnt just let it go just cuz we got Ibuki ass

Blue archive is a game where miracles happen

But this gacha system is where all miracles ended…

I dont want this game to go down this path as I genuinely love the game and the characters within… hope they reconsider their decision…

[Razgriz (ラーズグリーズ) @LegendRazgriz]

This cannot be allowed to make it to live.

Make noise. Complain everywhere. Call upon others to do the same.

This going through will kill the game. I mean it. It's a system incompatible with the way the game works.

OPEN LETTER REGARDING THE CHANGES IN GACHA SYSTEM

Recently Nexon made a stream where they showcased all the upcoming stuff in the upcoming anniversary - there were a lot of cool and curious stuff.

However, I'm this cute, funny and tasteful barrel of honey, there was one very ruining spoonful of tar.
AND THAT IS NEW GACHA SYSTEM.

What's exactly happen? Basically it's this: https://t.co/ct19bLCknJ

In current gacha system, there is a things where, after 200 pulls in gacha, if you couldn't get your desired student, then you can garantely pick ANY student that is currently at the banner at your liking by choice, for free, if we not count the spent pyroxenes, or money.

What is changing, is full deletion of this system, and replacing it with a hoyolike pity mechanic, where if you get the pink, then you also had to gamble on whatever you receive the student, or you had to do another 200 of pulls on getting it.

More(and better) information about this are from these people:
https://t.co/lacf4zZzGq
https://t.co/We55aAEkF1
https://t.co/t1hywLfnA5
https://t.co/atAng2xImp

But that does not change one exact fact - this is unacceptable!

Yet how is this happen - this mammonist change literally intervenes with the whole point of Hifumi's speech on Eden incident, and of words of one of writers of BA, how are we able to get to know these pages of students life, how are we able to be with these students if we are not even able to get them?!?

But it turns out there is the reason why that happen - Nexon hired people that worship profit more than the soul of Kivotos, an acursed "people" from Electronic Arts:
https://t.co/01CeHCk6qf
https://t.co/K1lS8FHuyX
https://t.co/dtDQqOoCBy

Simply speaking - we as THE PEOPLE cannot let this happen! The very soul of Blue Archive is under attack by Mammonist devils who demand more money to their never ending wallets, either its greed of developers, or a coup, a demand from managers, or even there is something wrong in Nexon, and they picked Blue Archive as their tool for salvation, at expense of players.

Either way, this has to stop.

Our demands are simple:
-Cancel all that change in gacha system;
-Alternatively, take examples from Nikke or/and Stella Sora
-Fire these brutes from EA

OUR HOURLAND IS UNDER ATTACK, THE VERY SOUL IS GETTING POSESED BY DEMONS!!! AND OUR RIGHEST CAUSE IS TO SHOUT AND FIGHT TO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

THIS IS OUR BLUE ARCHIVE!!!
