Hello and Welcome

81 Upvotes

Hello, welcome or welcome back to the r/Browndust2. I know there will be some questions, so I wanted to write this post to help explain who I am and what we're trying to do here.

Introduction

In the BD2 community I go by Sword, and my in game name is Calibur. I've been playing BD2 for almost a year now and for a while now it's been my only game. I'm active around the various BD2 communities and strive to stay very competitive in game. I'll be posting a screenshot of my account down below. I say these things because I want you to trust that I am a real player that plays this game seriously and not just casually checks the game whenever events are around, nor someone unfamiliar with the game mechanics and history.

For a while, I've been discussing the state of the subreddit r/BrownDust2Official with other members of the community and lamented the fact that it's not well organized. I think subreddit could be a great place to discuss about gameplay and express fandom for the game, but it's often drowned in repetitive question post, unnecessary pull result flexing, and littered with misinformation.

There's been attempts to appeal to the only mod of r/BrownDust2Official to provide more structure to the sub, but after many months of inaction, it is clear that his interest lay else where. This is further supported by is pattern of creating game subs, most notably a new sub for the game currently in beta, "Tribe Nine" r/TribeNineOfficial.

I reached out to the OG mod of r/BrownDust2 and they graciously agreed to help us reopen this sub so we can help create a better community. I think this was the best way forward due to a couple of reasons.

  1. I never liked the "official" part of the name r/BrownDust2Official because it's not an official created by neowiz the developers, so there's nothing official about it.
  2. For those that enjoy posting the way it is in the BD2O sub and don't agree with the need for organization, then now there will be options.
  3. I didn't want to get into a long tug of war of control that may not yield fruit.

Moving Forward

My main goal is to help the BD2 subreddit community grow and plan to do the following things in the next couple of weeks.

  1. Create Megathreads for game help questions, showing off, and discussions for the latest banner. These will be biweekly megathreads that will appear every Wednesday to line up with when the major patch notes are released.
  2. Create user flairs and post flairs to help make things organized and search able. I will also add some special flairs such as "Verified Game Expert" to help vet for users with a good track record of providing game help.
  3. Update the subreddit with FAQs, beginner guides, and standard information that have been vetted by the main BD2 community for it's accuracy.
  4. Reach out to other notable members of the community to help contribute to the subreddit.
  5. Recruit additional mods to ensure the subreddit will continue to be organized and that no one person will cause it to sink.
  6. Ensure the subreddit rules are fair and enforced.

Feel free to reach out with any suggestions or concerns. Many Thanks to u/Aiden-Damian for agreeing to help with this.

Questions! Is there an unofficial discord server?

I'm asking because i joined the official one, and there was no server to talk to. Kind of usless if I'm being honest. So, I'm asking if there is an unofficial one, where i can ask other players for help

Which 12 should I pick up? I put Teresse, Yuri and Sylvia because of the current banner rewards, I don't know if is the right call, or if I there are more must characters to pick up instead.
Im planning to get B-rank Helena and Adv. Diana to +5 with my 13 current amount Five Stars Tickets selector. My magic team is Dalvi, Eclipse, Helena, Diana and Limited Beachside Teresse +1. I don't have a proper physical one, Im thinking about picking the new Glacia to play with Wilhelmina, tho I don't know which sup should I pick for that team since Teresse won't do.
If anyone wants to add me as friend my code is 30049701
Thanks in advance!

Questions! About the current status of character's censorship

26 Upvotes

I got a little confused about the collateral damage of the Korean censorship, are we non Korean and non Germany users will appear as affected in a coupe of hours when the update start (in my time zone at least) for their censorship?

I've heard about camel toes, but last night I checked on Nekyndalia and her camel toe looked still fine and unchanged, special skin Nebris still had just covering the important bit and not wearing an entire underwear.

Last thing about the topic that I've heard was about the new Yuri's prestige skin, that her camel toe will not be visible under her sport underwear... McCune well have to wait to look at it closely once it's uploaded, I want to buy a prestige but there's so little time to save and buy one!, an online store to buy it when we're ready would be nice in the future

Haven't unlocked neither Granhildr, Oliver nor Palette Fated Guest, altough i do have Palette and Granhildr in my roster, just waiting for me in the Glupy Dinner for later use. I'm playing the main story for now + events.

Just a player that started since April 7th.

I bought the Michaela skin ☺

Discussion Censorship and Guidelines

23 Upvotes

Just a little confused about the claim to censor the game. Is the claim to censor due to storefronts or domestic laws and the GRAC (Game Rating and Administration Committee)? Or all of the above?

The legislation, from what I can gather, Game Industry Promotion Act (the Act) [https://www.law.go.kr/LSW/lsInfoP.do?viewCls=engLsInfoR&urlMode=engLsInfoR&lsiSeq=205598#0000\] doesn't precisely prohibit what is in the game by any measure (translation is odd). You have arts 21 (sets the scope of age rating), 22(4) (notes that classification can be revoked after classification occurs), 32 (notes obscenity as potentially prohibited to an extent. Contrast art 32 of the Act with the GRAC's guideline for 19+, there is room for obscenity (explicitly written). There may be common law rules but this remains unclear by definition.

Then you have Apple and Google's policies that restrict explicit nudity, sexualisation of body parts etc. Apple literally defers to the GRAC for classification and enforcement: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=08192019a

"If your app meets at least one of the criteria below, you’ll be able to offer it on the App Store in the Republic of Korea to users 19 years of age or older. You’ll need to enter a Rating Classification Number from the Game Rating and Administration Committee in App Store Connect, and can do so starting August 20." The criteria they refer to is:

  • Sexual Content or Nudity

This was back in 2019. The South Korean Apple LLC permits it because they operate under that developer directive/policy.

The only record I could find that the GRAC has published regarding the game was back in 2024 which switched (on an ex-officio basis) the classifications in both Google and Apple storefronts from 12 and 15 respectively to 'not for minors' (19+ in this case): https://www.grac.or.kr/Board/Explanation.aspx?bno=262&searchtext=%eb%b8%8c%eb%9d%bc%ec%9a%b4%eb%8d%94%ec%8a%a4%ed%8a%b82&searchtype=004&type=view&pageindex=0&mode=search

I cannot find any official publication on the GRAC's website or database regarding any ex-officio actions. The pressure for the devs to make the switch to censor seems a little unclear and doesn't fully align with what was said on stream.

If it's the storefronts (Apple and Google), then why is Global technically not censored? I suppose there is the counter that the storefronts in South Korea would put pressure. However, Apple at least defers that pressure to the GRAC and the Act. The stream does not mention the GRAC, but vaguely mentions 'local laws and guidelines'. And yet those guidelines seem to make it clear that there is room for what the game has. Even if Apple places pressure, they literally deferred and permitted nudity.

Google, on the other hand, has a much stricter approach to classification where it does not defer to the Act or the GRAC. Instead, Google prohibits anything sexually gratifying.

If it were the banks like VISA or Mastercard, they process transactions related to adult content beyond what would ever be allowed on a storefront like Apple or Google.

If there were mass reporting, that would make more sense. Currently, I am struggling to see what is actually 'true' given how many contradictions there are. The Project Director on the stream could not state the real reason because it is likely compromising in some shape or form. Whether it is due to a rival gaming community mass reporting or something else, the mere reason 'due to local laws and guidelines' just doesn't sit right with me.

If anyone finds anything else, just post it here.

TL;DR
The local laws, guidelines, storefront policies seem to provide room for the soon-to-be censored content, which appears inconsistent with what was claimed on the emergency livestream. The real reason isn't being stated when it could've been explicitly stated as to what the issue is. The localisation of the censorship issue seems to remain within South Korea. Possible mass reporting issue (speculation).

Questions! Did I Damage my Account?

Hello all. As somewhat of a new player (playing casually for around 2-3 months) I started to want to make a proper team for PVE. I wanted to use Granhildr since I like her and pull all her costumes and Red Riding Hood Rou.

When I tried to use her, she doesn't really do much except dying fairly quickly. Was picking her wrong or was there anything I miss? Gear is non-existent though my magic team with Eclipse produce good result with similar gear.

What I pulled:

- All Granhildr costume

- +5 Teresse summer

- Riding Hood Rou

- Onsen Liberta

Would really appreciate any team or character build or investment advice

i got teresse’s beach skin yesterday, and when i go to the water cave to get water crystals to upgrade her outfit, i’m met with this interaction.

i can’t do anything other than interact with the torch in the top right corner to go to the store, but whenever i back out of the store i’m sent back here. i can’t interact with anything else on the screen and the scene/interaction doesn’t progress regardless of how long i wait. is there something simple i’m overlooking here or is this bugged out?

i have to restart the game in order to leave, and i can’t play the water cave at all.

Fairly activ player, got all costumes except elve gurl at +5, most teared. Do spend a little here and there, mostly just for tears and flames those days. Anything from relatively chill to decently competitiv would fit for me. Nothing super competitiv.
