The Truth Of Wuthering Waves Gameplay After 70+ Hours (OUTDATED, READ COMMENTS) Wuthering Waves CBT2

UPDATE AGAIN: So yeah, I am really happy Kuro addressed almost every single remark I made in this video and this mostly has to do with their game dev news they've shared like fixing substats, improving gameplay and so much more. Really looking forward to the game's release and Kuro is doing a wonderful job here! NOTE as of March 22, 2024: The developers have adressed the issues with Echoes farming, you can check it out here wutheringwaves.kurogame.com/en/news/detail/690 Basically, a lot of randomization such as the range of substat values & efficiency of using Tuners have been adressed. Might make a follow-up video on this! EDIT: So I am getting reports that some people can SKIP the story but then not character stories. I dunno, it's confusing, I saw so many people who were not able to skip, maybe only select group of playtesters can skip story?? Also, regarding gacha system, you can use special currency after a lot of summons and grab featured character constellation from shop. I have worked on this video for 8 days non-stop... after 200GB and 40 hours of sorting footage, hope you guys enjoy my thoughts about CBT2 of WuWa :D

It will not kill Genshin. Genshin will kill Genshin. Wuthering Waves will be a solid game along side Genshin, it will just be what gameplay you prefer. I would say the majority of people will still like Genshin more because of how casual it is and yes.. most of Genshins player base is insanely casual.

FINALLY, someone who played the game for more than 10 hours and is talking about the Echo system rng. It looks great on the surface because of "you can farm in the overworld, so need for stamina", BUT, it is just as grindy as Genshin/HSR, because you NEED sub-stat unlock materials that are time-gated by daily stamina. I really hope they do something to make it less infuriating to farm by refunding the sub-stat unlock materials in some way

I’ve always said this “The echoes system is no better than Genshin’s artifacts”. Both require multiple RNG layers. However, we cannot say it’s better or worse until the game launches, and we get to see how often we get a particular material or rewards generally.

FOURTEEN SUBSTATS!? LMAO, and I thought Star Rail went down a thorny path with their own substat pool

I’m not a person who cares all that much about grinding/endgame/maximizing character dmg, just as long as I can get through the main story and weekly bosses needed to level characters and their talents, that’s really all I care about, but it’s still unfortunate how many layers of randomization there are for the echoes system. Exploration, story, world building, and character design are more important to me and so far WW seems to be pretty solid there. Thank you for the longer review, it was super helpful!

Out of all the genshin content creators who played the WW cbt, you sir gave the most comprehensive overview of this game and I appreciate it. Especially the clarification of the equipment and banner system, you did a great job.

Finally, It's an actual overview and feedback video and not a "Genshin could never!" And "Genshin copy!" And "Mint pickers salty!" Video. For that, you deserve a thumbs up.

Thanks for clarifying the echo system, i didnt know the rng was 4 layers deep Hopefully they make changes to it, but if not, i think ill just live with grinding for main stats only lol

I'm so glad you're talking about the echoes. It seems like the echo issue is finally making noise on the global side. The worst thing that could happen is that Kuro thinks the global side is happy with it so they don't change it. No one likes it and its hard to see it not changing by launch. Soft pity is 65 btw. Oh also farming echo exp is much better for tuners than tacet fields in my experience. I get a gold tuner about 1/2 of my runs.

Finally.... Honest review! No hype no drama no agenda just information... Well done 👍 best of luck 😇😇

Also about shiny echoes: there are only 2 in the open world, the others are rewards for hard content. But there is a benefit. Normally you can't use two of the same creature because otherwise it doesn't count toward the set bonus (so if I use 2 boars, the set bonus will be 4/5). But, shiny echoes count as a different creature from regular echoes. This lets me equip both a normal Morning Aix and a shiny Morning aix and still get the 5 set bonus.

There is some misinformation in this video aswell. Let me clarify -Shiny echoes DO have significant difference, and the difference is that they counted as different entity from a same monster. For a context,you in order to have set bonus, you need to 5 DIFFERENT monster echoes, if you stack same monster it will only count as one, this is why you can't have 2 boss echo for crit stat and have set bonus. And shiny is the way to bypass it, you can have shiny boss echo, and one normal echo, and they both will count for the set bonus (tested it myself) -You can feed other echoes to lvl up echoes, but they have to be cap lvl -You said that tuning items had to be farmed only on tacet fields, which is also not true, you can also obtain them in echo exp dungeon, which gives more echo exp, but no echoes (that mostly pile of trash anyways) and cost less echo. You literally showed in this very video at 12:25 that it's in the list of rewards. I am not defending echo system, i honestly think they need to make them drop more often, because 20% is too low, but it's not good thing to not mention those important details either.

Probably the best video I've seen on Wuthering Waves lol. Appreciate your viewpoint!

i hope for the echoes system, they change how it shows the susbtats. rather than unlocking a random sub per lvl, make it show what substats we got at lvl 0 but by unlocking it via leveling up, the % can be random

couldn't care if wuthering waves is a genshin clone/killer i'm going to be playing both.

Lmao, that starting story is so true in many games.

I hope they change the echo system. I am fine with uncloking substat over time but not be able to lvl up echos with other echos is kinna suck.

Goated video. I watched a lot of videos on ww and almost every point this video touched on was exclusive and interesting. things like the combat not being affected by bad (madame) ping but also the echo leveling system. I really was under the impression that you can just grind endlessly in the game and just get better and better like in a classic mmorpg. Without spending the plate thingies.

Many content creators gave feedbacks. In my opinion you were the most constructive in the ways they did right and wrong. Thanks for really taking the game seriously man
