Thread: Sengoku Providence announced!

Wow. Just wow. What they did to the gachas ruins any last hope I had for the game.

Same question. Rather not wait a week for disappointment if I can get it out of the way now.

@Eab1990 True enough I guess.

Good grief, loading times really are disgusting. So bad that it took over half an hour to get past the tutorial alone (not to mention the few crashes that happened that forced me to refresh the page). And after looking at the gachas all I feel is frustration coupled with a minor headache.

I have to ask, does anyone know how Sengoku Providence was like at DMM when it first came out? I know the pre-reg was way better from what I heard, but no details when the game actually came out.

WOW...as a guy who play senpro in DMM from when it was released, the nutaku version is utter shit.
every gacha literally "only paid magatama". I know they need this game to make money but this is just horrible. and no auto or 2x speed till high level.
In dmm version is much more forgiving. The Gacha in DMM is whenever u do 10 rolls u will at least have 1 5*(there r chance it will be duplicate).
i`m really disappointed even though me and some of my friends who plays senpro in dmm think about moving to nutaku version.

The point of freemium, lure them in with easy currency, cut off the supply and make it tempting to spend money

Sure that's a little cynical - but the point off freemium is this

Making it that high, whaling that hard - and I understand there's a competitive game too - so Epeen and wallet warriors a-hoy

I suspect Im out before I start, looking at X-overds horrid gold > currency rate makes me really wonder if I want anything to do with that too - but at least the trickle coming in will carry on so - slow but steady I could make 50 in...well 50 days

I'm kind of upset Canada got a soft-launch. Gives me less time to try for Oda Nobunaga, but at least I managed a 5* character otherwise I'd be really upset. I can't imagine how those who spent money for the unlocked slots feel, with a few more days to go until the official launch, only to get their time cut short.

Anyway, I started this last night (well, early morning actually), and I find myself really liking the characters, story, and the music. Also, the game is a lot more humorous than I thought it would be. What I don't particularly care for is the constant/slow loading between screens (it is a soft-launch, I guess) and the "Paid Magatama ONLY!" gatcha. It's nice that we (as F2P players) have the option to save up 40/280, to do a guaranteed single/multi-pull with 5* characters, but given how slow currency-earning is, that will likely take a while. I'm tempted to purchase the $5 5* character pull, since it's cheap enough to not really feel bad if I later quit the game (due to greed), but I'm also a bit apprehensive over supporting this game when it's going about things as they are.

It's nice to see that Auto/2x Battle are only locked behind the Player Rank and NOT paid. It'll take a decent while to get there, but you probably shouldn't be using Auto Battle in the beginning anyway.

The scenes seem decent enough (I had forgotten that they're animated, at least the 5* ones are), but I did notice that the first scene with Nankoubou Tenkai (when animated) was censored. It wasn't when it was still, but the moment it started moving the area was mosaic'd.

I'm not sure I'll stick with this game or not. I might purchase the starter bundle ($5 isn't much at all), and just focus on the story content. GVG doesn't really interest me if it's going to be full of whales vs whales, so I'll just concern myself with solo story/events and see how far that can carry me.

Also, I think the banners might be incorrect (when they list that you can only use paid Magatama, maybe they later changed their mind but didn't reflect it in the banner text?). I can't check for sure, since I'm just under 70 Magatama for a ten-pull, but when I try to use the 70 Magatama gatcha (for the Premium/Light/Dark/Fire/Wind gatcha), I get a message that I have 68 Magatama but 70 is required. If I choose the other gatcha, such as the 40 Magatama for a guaranteed single-pull 5*, or the Ultra Premium Twp 5* guaranteed gatcha, I get a notice that I don't have enough paid Magatama. So maybe the only gathat that required paid Magatama are Ultra Premium and 5* Gatcha.

I'll know later tonight, when I hit 70 Magatama and try. I'll post the results here.

Okay, so I have 71 Magatama now, but when I go to choose the Fire gatcha, I get this:

"70 Paid Magatama for a Guaranteed 5* Fire Senki

You have 1 Paid Magatama
and 71 Free Magatama

Use 70 Magatama and 0 Paid Magatama to
draw?
NOTE: Free Magatama will be used first."

So...if I use 70 free Magatama instead of paid, do I get the guaranteed 5*? The way it sounds it's as though they need to be paid, but it's letting me pull the gatcha anyway. :/

Aw, no!
Now I can't keep rolling for a 5*.
It's like they're doing everything they can to make people hate this game.

If VPN can get you into early release, can it get you out?

So I turned on my VPN to Canada to try out the game and I have 2 things to report.

The load times are atrocious, but if you go into the Display Settings and turn it to Low quality, it will be much more bearable (until they get the load times fixed).

Secondly I turned off my VPN and went to the site to see what happens. It looks like you can reroll for your free gacha, but if you hit the roll button it just pops up an error and it fails.

Thanks for testing. Guess I'll just wait since I still haven't rolled a 5star.
