3) Maintenance summary - Global will have maintenance on the 2nd of June, and the following will be added:
Lunar War Kaguya (SFES)
MoF Sanae Retro + Mononobe no Futo banner
some new battle type - "Conflux Battle Stage"
already ongoing things continue or have been extended (as in the case of Star EX)
4) Results of my poll are up. I am surprised about the overwhelmingly good reception of Lost Word after 1 year on Global, especially after all the things that have happened. Dis the developer team actually manage to redeem itself after the controversy at the half a year anniversary? Is the game just that good? Or people in that environment are just too used to gacha game they have become desensitized to absolutely anything?
Results (based on 376 votes, voting pool closed after 3 days):
"I like it quite a bit" = 53.72%
"It is OK/could have been better" = 42.02%
"I don't really like it" = 2.12%
"I hate it" = 1.06%
"I have not played the game" = 1.06%
For more results, I will try the poll again, this time in a more neutral environment like r/touhou (or at least anywhere else but on r/touhou_lostword)
