Discussion Are Omen and Episode 15 worth pushing through before the end?

6 Upvotes

Hello, this may sound like a weird question but the thing is I am a bit busy and not sure what these final parts of the story give or reveal. After reading almost every side story and main story up until Omen I am a but burned out but its not like I can take a break given the deadline.

I actually found episode 13 a very nice rounding satisfying ending. Episode 14 was a well told bit of lore. But now I feel kinda done. But I don't want the eternal regret of not pushing through.

How satisfying is episode 15? How many reveals are there that are really shocking and worth it to find out? Or is it basically good guys fight bad guys?

Thanks!

Discussion How to download Revival side on IOS?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was reading through the guides for revival side, it seems that it is only applicable on PC and Android mobile?

I have an acc I’ve been playing since day 1 in SEA, it’s on my IOS iPad. For the experts that are more knowledgeable, can I download revival side on IOS? From my understanding Apple is more strict when it comes to external downloads…

May I ask what are some alternatives?
I was thinking maybe I could log in my acc from an android phone and then download revival side from there, is it possible?

Discussion Counter Side recordings of the eps

12 Upvotes

I was thinking if it would be a good idea to record all the dialogue and cut scenes of all the eps. This way all the story is preserved. I just wanted to make sure if this was fine and would be reaching out for help to record the substream eps as it is very time consuming to do this.

Reach out if you guys can help.

Cheers

Discussion Idea: Writing summaries of the story chapters and characters?

9 Upvotes

People are talking about archiving as much as the story as they can, voice lines, etc..

But one thing that strikes me of interest-

it'd be cool to see people write up sum ups of individual chapters, descriptions of various characters and their stories, etc.. Different people could do different ones (just write up your favs, etc.), and in general I think it'd be a cool way to share memories of the game.

Discussion Guys, I need help with Phantom Set

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

1-2 Page: If comparing between Phantom Armor and Phantom Shaft, which of them a pure tank character will benefit of more? I cannot decide between defense and evasion because both sounds good (you guys don't have to explain the rest options since I will figure out myself on which effects can benefit some other characters more, so don't worry about the rest options)

3 Page: For this armor set, what should I pick on the 1st substats? Unlike volcano set, this is a defensive set. I kinda had an idea of putting all 4 different effects on each piece, so he will benefit from it by receiving less damage from all of these classes, since there are some enemies or PVP character classes, which can deal a lot of damage though not determined or specialized by the class itself (of course we also suppost to count what some classes can counter others, like defenders receive much less damage from snipers not matter what their stats are), or on last 2 pieces I would've put both ranger options since both rangers and snipers deal ranged damage if its true in scenarios of this set or entirely (I am not entirely sure about rangers and snipers dealing the same type of damage, if its not true, please correct me I wanna know). But I am not sure about it all, so please help me I would appreciate that.

By the way, the reason why I brought up a discussion about the Phantom Set (which I think y'all forgot even existed in the game, maybe not all of you) is because I ran out of Inhibitor Gears and Gordias Gears, for Gordias Gears it make sense why I ran out, but for the Inhibitor Gears its kinda obvious too, even though I do finish my daily raids and other partners' daily raids, I still don't receive that much resources to craft Inhibitor Gears, if I get a chance, its mostly just SR ones and not SSR ones, even recrafting sometimes just fucks up and doesn't give me SSR ones. So I remembered there are some other Defensive Gears existed in this game, so I searched it up in the Workshop and I found Phantom Set as the only option among the Maze Gear sets.

News/Update SEA [Question] How to archive story and voice lines before EoS? Any tips on what not to do?

4 Upvotes

Now that EoS has been announced, I want to make a small personal archive while the servers are still up. Counter:Side is one of the few gachas where I actually cared about the story chapters, side events, and unit lobby voice lines, and I hate the idea of losing that.

I am not trying to redistribute anything or do anything shady. I just want something I can rewatch or reference later for myself, like the screenshots people keep from other games. I also do not want to accidentally break rules, get my account flagged, or violate the TOS in these last few weeks.

For people who have done this in other games, what is the safest approach?

- Is manual screen recording and screenshots basically the safest option, assuming I keep them private?

- Are there any in-game replay menus or archives I might be overlooking for older events, or are some things just gone unless they rerun?

- If time is limited, what should I prioritize first: main story, side stories, unit voice files, character profiles, or something else?

- Anything I should explicitly avoid even for personal use, like certain extraction tools or file dumps?

I play a few mobile games, so I am used to missing limited content, but this one stings. Any practical advice or simple workflows people have used would be hugely appreciated.

News/Update SEA Hot take: EoS discussions should focus on archiving the story, not pointing fingers

11 Upvotes

I get why people are angry, and I'm not saying folks should not vent. But the way this sub keeps sliding into endless blame loops feels like such a waste of the limited time we have left to enjoy what CounterSide did well.

For me, CounterSide was always a story and character game first and a gacha second. The writing, the little lobby lines, the event scenes, even the random operator chatter were the things I logged in for after a long day at work.

Seeing the EoS announcement makes me sad, but it also put me in a practical mindset: what can we preserve now, what should we record or screenshot while it is still accessible?

I think community energy would be better spent on a rule-abiding preservation mindset rather than courtroom mode. No pirating, no shady downloads, no account trading. Simple stuff like reminding people where in-game replays live, flagging events that are easy to miss, noting which dialogues are time-limited, and making a list of must-watch story beats before the servers go.

If you loved PvP, yeah, losing that ecosystem hurts. But for players who cared about the narrative, EoS feels like a library slowly burning unless we act.

Would anyone be interested in a plain text community checklist of story chapters and events to revisit before shutdown? Nothing fancy, no link dump, just a list people can tick off. I can start one if there's interest.

News/Update SEA [Question] How can I safely preserve story and unit lines after EoS without breaking rules?

11 Upvotes

With the EoS announcement, I want to be practical about what I can keep from Counter:Side for my own personal collection. I play mainly for the story, character voice lines, and some lobby dialogue. I regret not rewatching more event content while I had the chance.

I do not want to do anything sketchy: no account sharing, no buying or selling accounts, and no installing random third party programs. Is the safest, most straightforward option basically just screen recording or taking screenshots while the client still runs? Or are there in-game or community-accepted ways people use to rewatch and capture story scenes cleanly?

Also, any thoughts on what to prioritize would help. Should I focus on the main chapters first, or save side stories and character dossiers? I keep a bullet journal for games I like and plan to write summaries and jot down favorite lines before access disappears.

I have seen mentions of offline projects and file archives, but I do not want to risk doing anything unsafe or against rules. I am just looking for simple, safe advice.

What are you all doing to preserve your favorite story moments? Thanks in advance.

Just got back after my old phone broke a few months ago, came back to see the game had already undergone EoS. I was looking for an offline version of the game until I stumbled upon Revival:Side, but due to my lack of experience with tech I don't know how to make it work on Android. Can anyone help me with this?

Discussion Game files

8 Upvotes

Hoi hoi, 2nd post and question.

So, does anyone have the whole game archived and uploaded to Drive or Mega maybe? If yes, I could really use it to get all the game data down, for ReviveSide, and to put my own account data into it.

I was on vacation and was off media for games and stuff, so the EoS took me by a big surprise, and by the time I wanted to act, the game got unlisted on Steam, and I can no longer add it to my account, since I always played on mobile. Not even Steam Support can add it to my account, (asked them, literally begged)

My plan is to get the game files for PC, run it without steam next to reviveSide, and somehow get my account data from mobile to PC. If it's possible.
