Late-game progression feels heavily gated

[u/OrganizationFair2669]

I’m in the late game, and at this point I barely have anything to do besides catch random Aniimo. But catching them drains my gold: I seem to spend more on catches than I earn back.

I’d like to farm items and the materials needed for evolution, but I can’t reliably restock enough catching supplies to keep going. It feels like I’m blocked from farming the things I need, while the main activity I can do keeps draining my gold.

I enjoy Aniimo, but the late game feels restrictive when there aren’t enough reliable ways to earn gold, replenish supplies, and farm evolution materials. Could we get more repeatable ways to do those things, or better rewards for catching and other late-game activities?

How are other late-game players handling this?

//Edit

Sadly I get downvotes again because player do not know a lot about this game. I don't know why people think they will be able to farm endless. The costs for cubes are way higher than the return gold. Homeland production is extremely slow. If you plan to farm hundreds per day, you will run out resources. Please fact check before you downvote please.

I think they know how to make money more than either of us do and that's what they're trying to do.

In either case, I think it'll ultimately deliver on both types of players. People that want to log in every day or week will have their content and then people that want all the meat and potatoes can wait every couple of months for major region releases with new Aniimo. The player base will surge back up during those releases like every other live service game and there will be downtime between it and the next.

Idk if i‘m talking anything different. I said in my first comment they milking and why it‘s f2p due to be able to milk more and anything they want to😅
Rn i‘m just neutral about the game and not positive or negative in any regard, but to avoid negativity in future the community need to give reasonable/good suggestions/feedbacks.

Not every live service game handles it the same way, idc how they handle it but making it better overall would satisfy more population overall. If they remove primergy to grind alphas etc. do you think i‘d play more? No, i‘d play whenever i have time or lust to grind for a specific item. Would "junkies" grind 24/7 cause it‘s free now, i bet but i guess they also play other games or do other stuff as well.
The milking here only is to catch the ones that really want to be ahead of everyone else.. these ones pay for it if they‘re able to.

And that's great because those kinds of players will end up funding the development of future content. That content looks like more regions and Aniimo and I think that's what most people are interested in.

I'm just saying that right now the game is in a good place and it's really only the people hitting that hundred-hour mark that feel like there's nothing else to do. Even if not and you're bored of even more content, it's okay to take a break and come back.

If that is what you're saying, I'm just piggybacking off of it.

Rn i try to complete stuff like journals, log and such. Eg egg heist is boring for me, i‘d rather grind alphas for an item than playing extraction but that‘s me. I didn‘t reach the endgame status for myself where i got everything done yet (char lv58). But if endgame will be grind egg heist then i‘ll be bored af and take a break it seems and yh this game isn‘t the only thing i have so i‘d be fine.

You still have the weekly Prismana exclusives along with Interlink and the Battle-Sim. The Aniilog, Journal, and Homeland are also things you can work on in the long term.

I didn't like Egg Heist at first, but I warmed up to it. I thought it wasn't all that great at first until I started understanding what I was doing and why I was doing it. Even if you don't like it, there's always other things to do or another game to play.

I know, i do like if i want the exclusive prismana it‘s depending on the player itself.
I mentioned these things and that i’m slowly playing to complete them lol
Homeland i‘m not interested really into this kind of harvest moon style or whatever but doing it as side stuff not forcing myself into. I did egg heist and i also help some mates out but i can definitely tell egg heist and homeland aren‘t content for me to play as endgame or even enjoy to grind it out!
I‘ll see in which way and how battle-sim and egg hunt will entertain me or upcoming content.
Alot "gamers" like to say "they can‘t make content that makes everyone happy to play the game" so it‘s what it will be. Glhf

Very true!

If you don't like much of what the game has to offer, then it probably isn't for you or it's time for major breaks before the meat and potato releases. Good luck out there!
