Unknown next patch

    Quote from Rana

    I'm pretty sure they have to translate the game into 3 languages all at once, compared to JP and the now defunct Private Server (English).

    I would assume different translators are translating to different languages so the work is likely split and done in parallel instead of sequentially. This means even if you argue 3 times the work it still shouldn't take 3 times as long and certainly not 6 times as long. Not to mention this is a small side quest with only a fraction of the dialog the main quest had and the main quest was translated in ~7 months (if you actually believe they were spending that time translating and it isn't part of bigger scheme to slow-walk content).


    An amateur who speaks English/Korean could probably have the quest translated in a single day. Give it a few more days for quality checks (not that they even do this considering what I've seen slip through). Actually let's give it an entire week for one language translated for this small side quest. Now let's even say their translation team works sequential instead of in parallel. That's still only 3 weeks!!! So yeah I'm not buying the excuse. Something else is going on here.

    although I am glad B.soulworker is shut down

    Gameforge really needs to pick up the pace

    I wouldn't be so glad about this. Why pick up the pace when competition doesn't exist anymore? Answer that question and you'll know why Gameforge has no problem delaying over a year's worth of content now. Besides, if Gameforge simply released content in a reasonable time-frame then there wouldn't be demand for alternative servers in the first place. That said I have to give Gameforge some praise for dealing with the other issues driving demand for alternative servers: We now have the NPC loyalty system, XP/district progress is much less of a grind until endgame and they almost completely stopped with the scummy RNG outfits / wheel. These changes alone were major QoL improvements. So credit where it's due but there's some serious content delay issues that need to be addressed. Oh yeah and what ever happened to CORRUPTED RECORDS?????????????????????

    Play other MMOs and look how much love in some of them were put in. I do not beleave even 1% that GF and it's team likes SW. They handle that game like cashgrab-shit. They can't answer questions properly and if so they are always 'testing'. Wtf like how long will ya test till you know your own game. Fk it. That's too slow for me. 2 fkin instances, that's all? That's content for 3 months or half year? Seriously? Im searching new MMOs and hope to find new home. Thats garbage shit man what's happening here. No fun. If I want a chat simulator I'll go Habbo or something else. SW should be a playable game.


    Those who abused these events in past are now flexing with gear and speed runs, thats lame as well and who cares? You did play unfair and feel pro? Shame on you. Those who bought from gold-seller are flexing also. That's lame too. Where are those players who got fair gear? I'm 100% sure everyone here was fair, right? Ofc. Ofc.


    I still go online to watch what happening and because of my guild with fkin nice guild mates, but I hope soon or later I'll be bored to even go online and deinstall. Don't wanna bother with disappointments every time.


    And from 80% of our nice community I'll expect that general answer after that flame of myself "Go quit and don't whine". Don't bother to write it. I'm trying it. To quit. I'm trying it. We all are whining sheeps for them. That's how I feel now.


    Im playing that fkin game since beta, sorry for being that rude, but it's a long time for me and it sux too see where this is going. Last big fist in the face for me was to dead-patch my stella, ty.


    Have a nice day.

    I have a feeling that there is a fundamental misunderstanding with whoever is in charge of running things for us. I think that they view the game as its own totally separate entity from the KR/JP versions and may not understand why they need to bring all of this new content over. Its possible they see the game as being just fine as it is. Why spend the money bringing over all this new content? There may be fees on each parcel of content that they bring over (beyond paying for translation, etc.) So they just bring over the simplest stuff that they can effortlessly plug in, or the most basic pieces of content to keep their older customers coming back and maybe spending a few more bucks.


    Something along these lines is my best guess, because it seems to me that GameForge (or whoever their management is here) is choosing not to release the content, rather than simply taking forever to work on it.

    Okay, after learning how simple it is to just download and run the Japanese launcher with the community-sourced English patch... There's nothing to it. Its a totally simple and straightforward thing to do. I dont need some kind of special magic Japanese computer to run it.

    So I think there really is no other conclusion than that they are simply choosing not to release the new content in any kind of timely manner.



    “I’ve just received word from Bandai Namco that they have no plans for a western release at the moment. However, they also said that “this is subject to change”, so there is still a chance that Blue Protocol will hit the western market in the future.”


    You should not waste your Time waiting for this Game if they don't even have the intention to Release it in the western regions atm.


    But would be a nice Game anyway lol.

    As far as I know the gap between AoV and HH in Korea was 1 year exactly, would be kinda pepega to have a wider gap.


    Would be even more pepega if we got Chii advancement as next content update after like 3 months wait.

    i'm surprised it is taking GF forever to fix Iris skill bug

    as per sprint event, new content may arrive on jan 23

    I just pray it comes with lots of bug fixes and more content!!


    I really want to play Ephnel but she is probably another six month wait

    'sighs' at least give me new hairstyles that came with Sailor Swimsuit!!

    Still surprised huh?

    Quote from Tokonome

    i'm surprised it is taking GF forever to fix Iris skill bug

    Why are you surprised??? Gameforge has proven on numerous occasions that they DO NOT CARE. If they cared these character bugs would have been hot-fixed within the same week that they broke. Period. There is no other way to see this. If a company cares they make sure big bugs like this are fixed right away. Failure to do so is proof of the contrary. There really is, at this point, no reason to be 'surprised' anymore. Also recently half the dungeons in the game broke and they had a patch out within 24 hours so we do know as a matter of fact that they have the capacity to rush fixes if they so choose to. In this case they are choosing not to.


    It's also not just Iris. Stella has had something new break every update since the summer. Each time they fix her something else breaks. Even right now Soul Cry left click doesn't work but if you right click it does the extra damage so whatever I guess but the attack is not intended to behave this way.


    So at this point it's an undeniable fact that Gameforge simply does not care. Prove me wrong.

    You really expect ephnel here in the next six months even if for chii took them nine months with the code merge? There is no more code merge, and we are almost one year and half behind the corean version, you can expect Ephnel here at the end of 2021 maybe.

    But no one plays Stella.. it's not that important right?

    Edited once, last by Horori ().

    And they said that they removed languages to do important updates every month, what's the next excuse? (And also, what does the people who defended gameforge back then have to say now?? xD).

    I think the reason things keep breaking with every patch is because they are trying to plug new code into old code. They talk about that a little in this video at ~4:00 where they answer the question why they take so long to release content:


    They talk about implementing a new raid where it was balanced for the KR servers and GameForge says they "had to request to have it nerfed" because their version of the game was so far behind. Makes sense, right? lol Some corporate PR wackadoodle nonsense talk going on there. They also say the "add an extra character slot" feature is something that exists but "is broken" or "doesn't work as intended" lol. Its not broken, they just don't want people exploiting that feature to farm for new character bonuses and items. Which is fine. But use that as your example to read between the lines with them... LionGames needs to rid themselves of GameForge and handle the western publishing in a much more direct way., self-publish or whatever. They need to streamline their process so the new content just moves right down along to us like its on a conveyor belt. SoulWorker could be gaining huge popularity ahead of new games like Blue Protocol which look poised to try and capture the same market. Even if they haven't announced immediate plans for a NA launch, that doesn't mean much, especially when they start to realize that SoulWorker is a total nothingburger in the states, but its not because we don't like the game.

    Its a sad, tragic, pathetic waste - GameForge does not believe in the product and therefore does not belong managing it any longer.

    Is game still alive, what about Chii's adv and new character :D?

    Any news from gf or gf is silent and preparing to close it :O?

    as stated chii's adv will be the first quarter, also who cares about the new character we're still missing content + we have bugs that need to be fixed.
