honestly, i haven't even logged in to see any of the new update because i saw the controversy before i had time to, and it kind of just... put me off? even though i had liked the look of the new phoenix banner. especially seeing the retconned intro, i don't know if i want to sit/play through that lmao. i really liked the original cutscene and into of the game, it really hooked me as someone not familiar with this franchise, and i can't believe they retconned it, and not even well from what i've seen/heard! newer players hate it just as much as returning ones, like what was the point? definitely standing with the "girlcott" and our CN players for sure and not pulling on the banner even if i do log in any time soon. who knows if infold plans to respond or do anything, i know they're also banning/removing posts related to the girlcott and/or complaints about this update on reddit as well which is. crazy. the review bombing etc. is deserved, frankly.The new 1.5 update has been a disaster to witness. The game has mixed reviews everywhere now, and as much as I love the game, I understand why. The new update retconned the entire game and has numerous bugs. The Sea of Stars feels empty and unfinished, and the latest content can be completed within a few hours. I've tried the new multiplayer mode with someone from Discord, and the issues are numerous. Their character was stuck sitting while floating around the air, and their map icon kept vanishing. Every update since 1.0 has felt rushed. I worry about the game's future as the developers are ruining their reputation by constantly censoring people's valid complaints on the Discord server, and their profits from the game have decreased over time. Infold has put up dozens of job listings, and I hope the extra hands will improve future updates.
