we're going a few months without anything though

DR is closing in may and reopening in September as an offline app

[Noleen#7811 3]

it's not clear if Dark Road story ends before or after the 4.4.0 update

[Limen 10]

not payable on the May update, in September "story unlocked to the ending"

[Noleen#7811 3]

that could just mean you can watch all of it without needing to beat the story quests

[Double OKP 171]

i didn't read carefully lol

[Limen 10]

that would be under theater mode imo, which is mentioned right above it

[Noleen#7811 3]

it makes more sense to end the story before making the whole game unavailable

the ※ is related to theater mode it's the same thing

anyone will have access to full story in theater mode without needing to unlock it

[Limen 10]

nah, there's only 2 people working on the game remember? they haven't released anything because they have a bunch of work left to do on it probably. it makes sense they'll close it until then bc they based the entire game on idle and jewels which won't work anymore without jewel payments

so they do a rework and return with all the story at once

as an offline app

plus without ux now, they can work full time to get dr done in that time

guess we'll just have to see though

[Noleen#7811 3]

don't understand the logic here, they don't need 6 months to close DR story

be it 2 people or not with khux ending in april, DR can end in may easily

[Double OKP 171]

you know what that day will be(when all the DR scenes are out)? it'll be: *grabs popcorn and watches DR for fours straight*

[Noleen#7811 3]

it jsut feel weird to make the game unavailable without story being over but as you said we'll see

[Limen 10]

the first point literally says "play through the story" which implies you still need to play it to unlock the story, it wont all be unlocked from the get go unlike the UX theater mode point that says it'll all be available from beginning to end. "story available" versus "story unlocked" to the end. its pretty specific wording shrug

you assume DR can finish in these next two months but we only have 3 episodes out and I'm sure they planned for way more than 4 or 5 episodes

[Noleen#7811 3]

english used in these api page is very approximative that's why i'm doubtful

it was hard understanding some events like the "bonus pet traits" thing

i think that now that they only need to work on story scenes because gameplay is done it's pretty easy and fast to do yes

no voice acting or anything new to produce

maybe they did prepare a whole lot

[Limen 10]

then why havent they all these months with the gameplay done lol

[Noleen#7811 3]

depends when the decision to end the game was called

[Limen 10]

speaking of that, it sounds kinda sudden tbh

[Noleen#7811 3]

then they had to plan out how to release everything in a timely manner and do nomura things

[Limen 10]

with the whole september thing in general, it sounded like they wanted to make ux/dr last until sept for the jp anni

for the full circle

and they probably recently got broken the news by higher ups to shut it down earlier

[Noleen#7811 3]

that's the second gacha i see enter "apocalypse mode", it was as sudden the last time

you can't really tell players in advance cause as soon as they know they stop spending money

[Limen 10]

like you said you can never announce EoS too far in advanced

but having half of the app still incomplete and making it return later in the year?

that in general doesnt sound planned

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Yeah I think Limen has a point here
This whole thing kinda came out of no where

[Silent Multiverse 7]

yeah 9 years

[Noleen#7811 3]

this is all a reverse hype news to take us by surprise tonight in state of play

"didn't expect soon to be THIS soon right ?"

[Limen 10]

lmfaooo, a sudden closing bc the higher ups wanted to show off re:union at state of play tonight

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Haha well hey if something shows at State of Play then we can see the dots being connected
