Thread: So Aegis is closing down

I loved the "another 18 months of support" line. Most of that was an enormous dead zone where we had no idea if we were ever getting new content.

Well, I'm a whale and I never felt encouraged to spend on Aigis because it never had any special sales and there was nothing to tell me whether spending on the gacha would be worth it or not. If anything, spending on Aigis felt so... eerie because the game did nothing to really advertise it besides some really vague banners about what was available in it.

Kanpani Girls had gold mailboxes to encourage you to spam their gacha, Flower Knight has regular sales, and Armor Blitz rotates its sales every week. Aigis' gacha was kinda just... there. And I hear that in DMM, Aigis has regular sales too so they clearly KNOW they're supposed to have regular sales and special cash limited time events, yet... they didn't for the Nutaku version for some reason. Which baffles me and makes it feel like they wanted their game to die when they had the solution to get people to spend in the Japanese version and made no effort to try it here.

Still, lots of other people report spending on Aigis recently in this thread so I dunno.

Those options are gonna be nigh impossible

Money invested in Gacha online games or PC/consoles games w/ loot boxes - I don't think you're going to get your money back

For data transfers, I can't say much since that requires technical expertise.

Apparently you've heard wrong. The only thing Aigis has ever done is remove older units from the standard gatcha and then have pickup gatchas where you can only roll the blacks/plats listed on the banner. Premium rolls always cost 5 SCs, with the same rates, and SC prices have always been the same. They don't sell anything like plat/black tickets either. There was a very early SC price reduction, but nutaku got that too.

The only special deals basically have the same crystal price, but give you a special bonus on top of it(Alicia and the starter pack). There's only 2 of these over 4 years and they're not they're always available to be purchased once. You can definitely make the case that they didn't understand the EN market well, but that's usually where you get some assistance from you're localization partner.

Did the Nutaku version have pickup gatchas? I vaguely remember it did in the long past but by the time i returned to Aigis, I didn't see one going on. Which I felt was strange.

See this video? Now take out Spongebob and put in Liana in his place.

That's what whales like me and others feel like with Liana in gacha. And I already fucking pulled Liana at least once which made me quit the game for a month. 150 Stamp card be damned, I just rage quit right there.

Posting here instead of ulmf cuz its being gay atm.

DevTea and Nutaku did everything in the book that's humanly possible to ensure that they shot themselves in the foot and then have the nerve to blame the players for lack of income. What a bunch of losers.

I've seen this a few times and this would be the most retarded conspiracy every. Let's spend a fair amount of money to launch a game in a different region and then sabotage it so we have to run it at a loss for over a year to maybe get a tiny boost in players that they supposedly don't even care about. Not to mention we're pissing off those people in the process that must be a great way to get them to love us.

You're the one who sounds retarded. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe they don't want our love? Has it ever occurred to you that they just hate us? This isn't the first time I've seen the Japanese sticking it to us here, in the U.S. I see it all they time.

That was the first thing I tried. Any more suggestions? I really want to keep playing this game.

No. It occurred to me that since I'm not from Japan I'm not their target audience and they don't care enough to love or hate me, and I'm fine with that. Since they don't actually offer you any English games clicking the English button and getting directed to their English partner does make more sense than them just being random assholes.

IT guy here. Since I don't know what they actually use as a back-end, I'm going to assume SQL as it's the most common for storing data in similar games. Writing a script to export a player's data to a form that could be easily imported to another server(Think World of Warcraft's character transfer functions) would take a competent programmer a couple days. Said script could be used for anyone willing to pay for a character transfer, as we're sure it wouldn't be free. The bigger problem comes from the fact that most of their services are not supposed to be available outside of Japan, so they probably couldn't offer the option even if they cared enough to write the scripts.
