So what is the gacha system in this game anyway?
Weapon and characters in the same pool. Pull each month here:
Pity is 80 pulls. You get increased chance of ssr drop on 68-80 pulls. Guaranteed limited character is 160 pulls.

Overall minimal amount of pulls (excluding various gifts, mini events ect) players get a month is

F2P 60.8 pulls + 8 prem (68 total) + 22 standard;

Monthly Card 78.8 pulls + 8 prem (86 total) + 22 standard;

Monthly card + BP (BP SSR weapon picker) 83.3 pulls + 12 prem (95 total) + 22 standard.

According to CN players analytics, during Wawa patch f2p received 142 limited pulls in gems and tickets total. BP+gemcard players received 169.

New Interview from the MICA leader himself.


I can't read too much of it cuz Chinese. But I've heard it's quite down to earth and almost depressing. Talks about lukewarm reception, difficulties faced, working until 4AM some days, etc...
Great interview. YZ discussed their hardship during the early days of GFL2 a lot. One thing to note, he said they made some hard stages early on but most of the players don't play them, so they nerfed/cut them out. With the opening of global server, more XCOM players should be playing the game (XCOM is very niche in Asia) so I hope that they will change their mind.

Small correction, weapon and characters are only in the same pool for the standard banner. Limited banners will have them separate.

A new contender appears


Published by Darkwinter Software Limited. Now who the hell is that lol

And in case it's region locked, this is the SteamDB page - https://steamdb.info/app/3347400/
Nice. I guess I'll see everyone on Steam then and some of you on the MOST official server.

With Mica/Darkwinter also releasing on Steam, my only worry is if they add some sort of region lock (like for payments) to the pc version outside of Steam too, not necessarily at launch. I want to use my good ol' Sunborn account that I used for my whole GFL and NC run, but I also don't want to suddenly be cutoff from one version just because of my region, especially if it were to happen a year later

Sunborn/MICA Team is the developer (kind of used interchangeably, I guess?). Darkwinter is the publishing arm of Sunborn.
So as a European can you also see this self published version on Steam? If you can, what reason would you (or anyone) have to play the Haoplay version?

EDIT: Soon as I pose that question I realize that some might need the EFIGS localization.

Nope, I only see the Haoplay version. But I presume I can just use the self-published non-Steam version, since I already have a Sunborn account anyway from GFL1 and Neural Cloud (even if I haven't played them much).

And that's Isomer and Shattered Connexion wrapped up. Really good stuff.
The Isomers are really interesting conceptually and I also find it really fascinating what they did with the "connection" stuff - the fog and such.
Good developments for M4A1 and the AR and 404 Squads. Curious to see how OGAS getting a body turns out. The whole Relic/Pike stuff has me very curious about more of the world lore.
The Commander is great.

On to Chapter 12!
