Criticism post and videos of problems in the game that are just flat out ignored. I've played Guardian Tales for over a year and during this period, have been keeping in contact with support till they eventually just stopped responding or abused their authority to ignore issues, hoping it'll go away.
As a special for NA, the developer is so petty that when asked to readjust the 100/250 daily mission on maintenance days, they simply outright removed it. If you play other servers, you'll notice this isn't the case and they simply removed it out of spite due to suggestions of making it more reasonable. They're liars and when confronted will just be like, "Yea, so what?" Lina is a top of the line meta unit, especially when she first released, so if they even remotely say anything, take it with a grain of salt, they're full of garbage.
You can tell their abilities to cut corners also bleeds into their real world counterpart, as they simply aren't prepared for anything and will probably have a good chance to hurt their employees who actually do work there, by not taking proper precautions.
Stories fine, some really are just filler episodes and that sadly is the one people remember the most, while others are just forgotten about if you ask most people. But this is a 10/10 cult mentality community with no substance to back it up, so expect to see a pretty faulty rating that basically makes it entirely pointless. I mean, why use the games strengths to convince people to play it when you can just be a liar instead?
Since mentioned it. The way they treat pointing out flaws instead of actually discussing it or just plan fixing it with a massive time frame. Awful company.
I wanted to mention one more thing since it did get brought up, even if to simply excuse every possible issue ever, I'd still like to talk about it. Now, I actually played 7DS when it released over here at launch and it was mostly enjoyable as a f2p player originally. pvp had its frustration and the developers were pretty much scumbags from start to finish, only getting worse despite me leaving, though, it was before they themselves made me leave as it was simply an issue on my part, as I emulated it and simply had no way to continue playing when I encountered computer troubles. The 2 weeks it took to get it up and running again, my resources drained for a limited time event, missed pity, didn't have the drive to continue.
Netmarble was probably like a smaller vocal grp for defending them, but it had some, both ways of course. Had the people who'd try to get compensation while playing the system, which didn't work out. Though, Netmarble had the means to fix said issue and simply were too lazy to do so, with the Red King release at the time, as they knew it was problematic originally, but refused to fix it here, leading to the same result, but with no compensation as prior. They gutted rewards by comparison and after I was gone, proceeded to gut things that were free to a cost, stupid things like that. Massive powercreep problem, cosmetics cost money to f2p release, to limited time only being purchaseable, they're a horrible company, but...
Now why I mention it. They might be a trashbin in and of themselves, but outside an exploit, which is just as likely to happen in a game like Guardian tales, their gameplay worked fine. It was RNG bs at times, but things worked fine, even when they went for cheesy stuff. Guardian tales on the other hand makes the stable diamond currency, not even function properly. The servers are some of the worst I've ever encountered. Desync problems can outright break the game for things like defense or coop, arena is just awful and it's way beyond just some powercreep, gear issue. It's just people slapping desync ghosts, it's gameplay aspect is bad. Even if all the bugs and issues were fixed, which they're not, why colosseum sucks balls as well, watching units run into corners to die, sucide units, lina standing in the middle of the map zoned out doing nothing, is horrible. Back to arena though and the things that use their botched dumpster netcoding, they simply just don't care. Even a scum pond pile of garbage like netmarble, will design the product to function for the most part, even if exploitable, but GTs didn't even get to the "try" phase.
