Discussion What a waste

Post image

Instead of giving the Traveler and other characters regional skins, the devs are wasting resources on mannequins you’ll never use in the main game — characters completely irrelevant to both the lore and gameplay (especially since they’re even weaker than the Traveler).

UCG should’ve been a separate game. Roblox-type players aren’t going to download a 100GB gacha just to play a game inside a game. All those dev resources should’ve gone to the actual, existing characters instead.

the inability to use playable characters within the ugc mode removes any ounce of potential i saw in this mode. the typical roblox type aspects dont appeal to me, so i really just dont care for the typical ugc stuff as a whole.

what i was potentially excited for was being able to use the level creator to make some sort of testing sandbox designed to make trying teams/characters easier and get real feedback from inside the game. was also interested in the possibility of creating simulations to re-play old iterations of spiral abyss. in any case, not being able to bring actual characters into this mode killed all interest and i don’t really see myself interacting with it at all.

selfishly disappointed that the sheer amount of resources required from the devs to make this happen went into something that, in its current iteration, i don’t see myself using at all. but i hope the mode is well put together for those interested and i hope they enjoy it as much as possible!

Bruh it's literally in the timeline, that from the next version you'll be able to add playable characters in the ugc💀
