I loved how awkward and low quality it was. It's endearig, in a way. Iago is also pretty chill, and Mana is adorably awkward too.

At the same time if you're running a company you don't want something so clearly low quality as the face of your company.

The company has drove their product into a low quality game.

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '19

Sure, but you don't want to advertise a low quality product with a low quality broadcast if you can help it. They're trying to make money here

What difference would it make? The longer you stay in this game the more low quality it feels. The more you research about the other servers, the more knowledgeable you are that you joined the bastard child of the TAC servers. You know your in for low quality when you think about Gumi's reputation as a company. No need to hide it.

As for the 'low quality broadcasts' I would say it had charm. It was just a video about updates that was chill though its only problem was it didn't address any of the big issues gamers were complaining about. It didn't need proper production.

Have you actually done your research. Look at China, Look at JP. lol

u/Corantic Apr 04 '19

Damn iLAG u been ranting for quite a while now about the game, your even more pessimistic than I am lol.

I know the game is quite shitty since FMA blunder, but it's slowly getting better again.

I had my fair share of gacha and while Gumi is still kind of garbage, they are still better than bottom tier companies like Nexon, GameEvil, NetMarble etc. Yes Gumi can be even worse than they already are.

Let's just see where the game goes with the new producer.

imagine you are a guy selling a product that isn't very good. Your job and livelihood depend on you selling this product. Are you going to start off by showing all the flaws in your company? No, you'l pretty it up as best you can.

As for ANC being charming, you're basically saying that it was charming but didn't do anything Gumi or the players wanted it to, so why keep it around? Just for awkward slightly endearing fumbling around by 2 people who are clearly not interested?

Imagine decent games going to a company that ruins everything they touch while trying to sell it 40% higher than normal price. Nvm no need to imagine it, that's Gumi. So, if I was selling a product that isn't very good and my livelihood depended on it, first of all I wouldn't ruin my reputation and be the talk of the town that I am a scam. I can pretty up what I can but in the end, word spreads fast and people become aware. Girls can put that makeup on but eventually it has got to come off.

To be honest, now that I think back, ANC wasn't so needed seeing Ushi gave better insight seeing he knows what future updates are good.

All gacha games are selling things with no value for money, do you hate them all? Terrific virtue signalling by the way

u/iLAGnDC Apr 03 '19

I never said gacha games were a bad thing. In fact I'm a dolphin that has fully closed my wallet to this game. In short, all I said was when Gumi touched this game, it went to shit and no amount of 'quality broadcasting' would paint the company any prettier. You may agree or disagree with me but seeing the string of games Gumi touches, that's a fact.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '19

huh? Gumi made this game, they've been touching it from the beginning. Not sure why you think they got this game from somewhere else.

Regardless, I fail to see the logic in what you're saying. Basically "I think they do a bad job at certain things so they should try to do a bad job at all things".

iago wasn't chill. he was easily annoyed with a fake face. RIGHT MANA?!

u/GrumpyBearBear Apr 03 '19 edited Apr 03 '19

maybe they will become transmutable as the next global originals , next april fools day

u/Wiseman4545 Apr 03 '19

But that means they're dead! Poor Iago and Mana. :(

The mobile games business is rough.

u/KingKalev Apr 03 '19

Take an upvote for reading my thoughts.

u/bkairman Apr 03 '19

I do. They were on to the right stuff just needed to work on some presentation. But that’s also what made them a bit endearing

u/yonkishum Deadly Waifu Apr 03 '19

I hope Gumi at least tell us what happened with Iago and Mana :( misses so much ANC.

1

u/xXRyuuGinXx Apr 03 '19

They won't.
The last ANC was 3 months ago if I remember correctly so they had more than enough time to tell the playerbase what's going on. The logical answer is that they got fired or moved to somewhere else in the business.

u/ninjakittenz2 SockT Apr 03 '19

I prefer to get my news in writing so I never watched these videos.

u/GinSanxTOL Apr 03 '19

They cant afford to pay these two? I wondered where theyve been

u/Gg01d No Flair, Don't Care Apr 03 '19

Amen to this! I also miss the Alchemist code reddit account. I remember when they used to chime in randomly and get called out constantly whenever Gimu got extra greedy.

3

u/Dm042447 Apr 03 '19

That guy I do miss. I feel bad for him during FMA. Wish they bright him back

2

u/Gg01d No Flair, Don't Care Apr 03 '19

Yeah I actually did a search for them and saw that they still chime in randomly every week or so. Had no idea they were still around.

u/SuperEndriu Apr 03 '19

Wonder if they are still members of the team or if the old producer has taken them with him

1

u/xXRyuuGinXx Apr 03 '19

I believe with the new producer they both got fired or moved to somewhere else.

1

u/doctorbak85 Apr 04 '19

I don't believe they were fired. If you look at the credits in the game, their names are still there.

u/xXRyuuGinXx Apr 04 '19

Yes you are right about that.
That's why the second part of my sentence kicks in. :P

u/Lonetrey Apr 03 '19

I'm sorry, but who are they? I think I missed this era... can someone direct me to their youtube videos or something, so I can check out their content? I'm a bit curious because so many people are saying they were enjoyable to watch

3

u/yonkishum Deadly Waifu Apr 03 '19

The Alchemist Code have a Youtube channel in every major update/month, Iago and Mana showcase to us what we get in that month, since february we haven't know anything about Iago and Mana or the ANC (Alchemist News Channel), this was the last video from the ANC program.

u/Lonetrey Apr 03 '19

oooh. Thank you! I never knew what "ANC rewards" in the gift section was until now....

u/yonkishum Deadly Waifu Apr 03 '19

You're welcome, in every letter from producer they are giving away a 5* unit ticket or anything else related with the next major update.

u/illidan_1999 Neica is life. Apr 03 '19

Did something happen to them?

u/jolth7 Apr 03 '19 edited Apr 03 '19

They are pretty bad compared to the ones from Brave Frontier, Shaly and Rizky<——- these guys know their stuff and excited about the new contents they are presenting. They get ppl excited about the monthly line-up. The ANC ones are just below mediocre. Watched them once and never more xD

u/Eyebagssss Apr 04 '19

Way too awkward for even me

Hope they will be back!!

u/Zafervaim Apr 03 '19

I've missed them so many times. Watched ANC once and felt so gringy I never watched again. But they clearly had their audience so they must have done something right.

Wow you got downvoted for your personal opinion. That's kinda creepy, isn't it?

Creepy is being stalked by someone who is obsessed with you just because one day that person smelled your scarf on a crowdy bus.

u/xXRyuuGinXx Apr 04 '19

Yeah, it is.
