My personal opinion is that the game is NOT ready for release. There is another confirmed dev stream at the end of May. I don't see this releasing in June, either.
I rather they release it in a good state than for it to be deadge in a month like recent MMO disasters. I will just continue to play shit game BnS with my frens until BP is done. We are back to doing ranking despite losing our two teammates before.
The Blue Protocol dev stream was today. It was mainly about adjustments they are making from the JP network test done a few weeks ago. The BP Database fan site has translated the info in the live stream. https://blue-protocol-db.com/news/blue-protocol-communication-deep-dive-6-3/
An interesting point was the data they gathered on the most popular character creation choices. Unsurprising for a JP game, the small body type for females is the most popular. ( ) Type 2 and Body S.
There is an overwhelming 75% female to 25% male ratio and I expect the male percentage to also be lower on launch, as the data shows a lot of testers were just playing with the default male template in order to get asap into the game. It sucks for me and I just always expect devs to not bother releasing high quality outfits for males but as an MMO player, this is my reality and curse for playing males only lmao
The male chart is kinda what I expected when it comes to the choices. Glad to see the small body type getting some love, at least. Almost as much as the big body. These two bodies are great imo. I never really like to play the default "toned" male anyways. I will either go shota, twink, or big daddy.
The audience for the game is there and I still expect the small females to be popular in the West but I also know just like Lalafell in FF14, the Western player base will do everything to make sure you are inconvenienced for picking that body type because retarded anime tourists a plague.
"Streaming Saturday: S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly, Part 2 - the VOD!" is now available on Odysee.
This time, instead of getting raped repeatedly by Snorks I just got raped a handful of times by a Pseudogiant, before figuring out that I should just run away as fast as I can and ignore all unnecessary combat.
Uk wants less smokers, so in order to do that, they will be handing out free cigarettes.
