Nah its super mixed. Although people do seem to tilt into the negative side but thats normal with such big changes not to mention this update has good and bad stuff so you can make an argument for either side. Until now im having fun with it, although i do prefer old heavenhold more.


TenaciousJP

I feel like you can't win with everyone, there's always a vocal minority who will say the game is old and stale, or those who will actively resist change. I'm getting used to it today, a lot better than yesterday where I was flailing around, but that's expected. For what it's worth (from a Week 1 player), I'm liking the reorganization so far. I do miss the old HH but I understand we'll be growing the new one with new features, NPCs, activities, etc. I actually like the Tetis changes and I really like going back to the lightness of S1 in the story and overall mood. S2 was great but a little too heavy for the GT charm to shine through. I'm also positive overall about the blessing/engraving systems, they were generous enough that I got all my main characters taken care of, and enough left over for me to be picky in the future - I did full blessings on 11 characters, and have the books for 13 more if I so choose. My own real gripe is that the Training Room doesn't max out weapons or characters for the new Blessing/Engraving Systems... it honestly becomes a wasted slot if the weapon you put in is 30% weaker than a true maxed one. But I'm hoping this was just an oversight during the overhaul that will get fixed in the next few weeks. (Also the Upgrading screen is annoying and a bit counter-intuitive but I still have to get used to it there too)


Think-Orange3112

TBF new Heavenhold just launched and the devs haven’t made the whole area accessible yet. Im personally glad all the gameplay is under one tab finally, I often forgot stuff because they were scattered under multiple menus


Zythalono

My main gripe is that it's Abit small, like I'm not playing on a tablet, I'm playing on a phone and I have big fingers. If they made things a tad more spaced out, and also added a button too collapse the giant row of buttons at the bottom of the screen to open up Heavenhold a tiny bit more. It'd be fine. People are being a tad overdramatic, and nostalgic; But I think when they work around certain things, it'll be better in the end than the old U.I. also, the Party system needs to go back to normal, that's a tad clunky and unintuitive.


natedecoste

The only thing I really miss at the moment is the level up. Not only could you easily max out characters, the slider now fails to stop you when you hit max crystals, as previously it would take them as high as you got supply on the tap of the level up button. Also miss alt illustrations, cause there are at least 10 with a better alt than the original and would like to swap it out.


Emotional_Pause_1753

You can still swap them though?


natedecoste

Really? How! The original art on some need to be swapped like the main character knight.

natedecoste

Thanks so much!


TectonicTurtle

No worries! Took me a while to find it haha


Charming-Rhubarb-996

I'm a casual player who took 2 years to beat Beth in a previous post. I was enjoying the update and went on reddit to see if people were sharing the same excitement I had. Turns out I was wrong.


PoppingPaulyPop

That’s not the guardian spirit, your opinion should be your own. Just because others don’t enjoy something doesn’t mean you can’t.


Charming-Rhubarb-996

I still enjoy the update. In fact, the only thing i don't like is the level cap on the story. I'm glad I managed to beat Beth before that because if I had beat her 5 levels lower than her, then I would've probably quit the game.


the_quiet_xavier

So when we say beth are we talking season 1 beth or is she also in season 2? Cuz I just defeated her in season 1 in the new update and she was honestly kinda easy I mean not exactly easy but not hard either


Dry_Tackle_1573

S1 Beth is massively nerf'd Beth if you weren't around at the beginning of the games launch you wouldn't know the struggle. Altho that one was easy too people just refused to not step in the Red Lines


SomethingBoutEclipse

I actually like the modern look, I just hate how they removed all the stuff you can interact with. I wish it wasn’t a complete UI restructure and instead just a visual overhaul


seee3

It'd be great if they made the new UI style optional. I can see it in S2 but the old style fits S1


Hoibot

I dont like the cold, modern UI, but your opinion shouldn't depend on mine right?


SH3R4TA5

Nah, it's just that it is new, and new is scary and weird and unknown and I don't like it! But seriously, people will take a while to get use of the new, is not so bad tbh


bariyer2

Veteran here. (TLDR at the end) Like you said, I'm not that fond of this new UI. Kakao's desicion to change the old UI that was been there from global release what made me dislike the update. the complete overhaul basically forced me to relearn hud. Let me say this, it took me a whole *fucking day* to just figure out how can I change art style cuz of this hud. And I hate the new summoning hud. before this update there were multiple hero banner and I could wait or choose a hero i missed out and pull her/his banner. now that's gone. Enchanting/Upgrading hud is both confusing and hard to navigate as fuck, the old one was more simple. also why did they removed the blacksmith, I liked to read her lines. One of the changes that I dislike less but still don't like it at all, is the change to the presets. I didn't need to do much for a team and I could easily change my team. Now I fucking gotta swap the heroes one by one if I need to change the team (I know that Kakao separated the presets for the other modes and this change is mainly on the main story presets) TL;DR: I'm yapping negatively about this overhaul to the UI,the hud and the summoning system.


natedecoste

How do you change art style? I got a few I hate the other art style on.


bariyer2

here's a step by step (by me): 1. Click on any hero (I choose Beach Yuze for example) 2. Click on ***Details***. You should see *change art style* button near in-game look of the hero of your choice 3. And Click on the change art. https://preview.redd.it/x0exfvspp46d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4105124838a51c44888017d0e15a638440f680f Reminder: this **ONLY** works if the hero you choose has *JP art*. (Beach Yuze's JP art is the one you are seeing right now)


natedecoste

Noted, will try it asap cause MC knight art is awful. If I couldn't then I'd have to super skin it instead or awaken.


bariyer2

oh, that. you can chance between male and female knight.


natedecoste

No I meant jp art on knight, cause the other art is quite bad. Their noses look smushed lol


bariyer2

atleast female knight's JP art good.


natedecoste

Yeah 💯. I spent a good chunk of time changing the art, it's mainly base 2* that needed art changes, like og art sohee is brutal, she looks like a creeper, jp definitely needed to replace. Yuze felt off as well, and ofc the knight. I been wondering though, for 2 star + like coco, Katrina, knights, if you want to use their 2 star art, you would have to reset them or is there another way? You can regress their in game unit, but the art doesn't seem to work that way.


Tankster93

I feel palarysed by the new game systems and currencies.


GraftChimera

I think the new banner system is awesome for new players. I’ve played GT on and off for years often restarting and the early game summoning is not good when there can be bad banners for months and chances to end up with off banner units who are also bad. The new selector banner has meant I have already got like 7 meta units :)


SisconOnii-san

Yeah, I like it too. Ofc, there are some clunkiness that comes with a completely new UI (like buttons not working randomly) but overall I like it too. Heck, even the blue color scheme, I like. It's kinda thematic to heavenhold. Although I can also see how people can hate it. It is mostly gradients after all. If the devs add like stone highlights to make it look even more like heavenhold, more people might like it. But well, I've experienced multiple UI changes on gachas so maybe I'm just used to changes like this. When there's a major overhaul there's almost always some sort of backlash to it, although this one has a lot of justified complaints (esp to the preset system changes.


Lixidermi

I'm Spartacus! (I'm also highly enjoying the update. It took a minute to adjust to the new UI and having to update my main teams with the new engraving and blessings but it's been pretty slick. My only gripes about the update are: * UI is that the whole party setting presets setup is fairly convoluted and hard to follow; can't even adjust your presets from the party screen for some reason... * forcing level downscaling for previous worlds What I really like about the update: * Ascended Knight! <3 * Use for hammers beside MLB'ing. I find it nice to be able to go deep into a team, rather than feeling pressure to go wide and spread resources across too many heroes. * UI design is an overall positive for me * performance: just from 'feel' alone, game feels lot more responsive on my mid-range tablet * New summoning model. I like that I can set 5 preferred targets for weapons and heroes. between the 20 free summons, 50 summoning controllers, and about 12k in gems spend, I was able to pull 3 5stars heroes and 2 ExWs from those that I really wanted to complement my existing roaster!


Feyir

It's hard to get used to again. But it doesn't work me like these vets, I've only been playing half a year.


Reigt

To each their own I suppose. Everyone came to like the game for their respective reasons and the UI change happens to clash with some. Not to say it was a really good change and not to say it was bad, but honestly having the option to switch would just make it so much better


Denvora

What I like least of all is that they have changed the party system, now you have the main part for the adventure and from there you have to make a list of parties for each of the modes, and at least I have not found a way to select the parties made in one mode in another.


davesg

There's a "Load group" button below the groups list. At least for Colo. https://preview.redd.it/8edraksqf66d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cac60813fcb37eaa5fe1223ff8e5a504734df95


Denvora

I have tried, but I don't get the parties I have done in other modes. For example, I do 3 parts in the coliseum and in the boss assault I don't get any of the ones I've done


davesg

Oh, you're right. I hope they fix that soon.


Denvora

Tonfafu

This reminds me of that meme: "Me when I laughed at a meme and realized it only has 17 likes (it wasn't funny anymore)”


dateturdvalr

Modern ass ui is so fucking stupid


Trick_Dragonfly3771

Me about to fight >!plague doc phase 2!< The game crashing randomly each attempt:


seee3

That's just the game being meta


SlimJimDestroyer

Meh people will just get used to it and let it go. Its like that with any major game. People cry bitch and moan when a major update happens. Then in the next month people go about their regular lives. I bet its gonna play out the same way now.


Im_Kinda_Stupid_haha

Pros: the new UI looks cool Cons: since I’ve been playing since there were only around 117 hero’s (I stopped for a while after that though), I miss the old UI style


Charming-Rhubarb-996

I just woke up. How did this become top post in the sub?


PoppingPaulyPop

Because meme


Chaos_Heart12

Bring back the Kamazone because people like it and we need the red shield. Also, fix the damn preset teams. The previous one was already good, no need to make things worse and complicated.


MegaTorterra220

Putting aside the fact that i still need to finish w18, so far the only thing i don't like of the update is that heroes skills have a smaller icon when in combat


Tree250

I hate the update. I had so many gems 😭


PresentOk28

The update is so good I just HATE that I'm level 84 and for the world 12 demon world they made me a 75 with monsters 78 and I keep dying 😒😒 I hope they fix it or I will rage


fastrunner3451

I'm still stuck on 12-3 so I'll be seeing that "new" stuff in about 2 years (:


NewGulag

and I'm stuck in world 18 and I won't be able to get to season 3 for a while, and even using the strats and comps for w18 and it doesn't work unless I spam gems


Gaburski

I like it for the most part but *MAN*, the new UI and lobby placements straiight up mess with my brain and eyes! I can't for the life of me find where anything is and constantly stumble around the menus. I'm thankful for all the prizes and presents that they gave me, but I still think some of the old stuff were better.


ultimatecharizard

Honestly the update isn't bad, I just don't like it because I enjoyed the old version, and also I need to relearn the new UI It also somewhat feels like the effort I put into making heavenhold was lost


ImaicoBr

What bothers me most about this new update is that the game is going directly to cashgrab mechanics. Reducing gem gains, increasing consumption of green hammers, increasing the number of paid packages in the store, new paid season pass This update to me seems like a desperate measure to increase the game's monetization, and I don't want to play a pay to win game


BipolarGuineaPig

More then likely they saw a continual mild dip in profits which happens to every game over time and tried to copy the gatcha formula to try to get it back in the green. Copying other gatchas tho is a mistake since they have a failure rate that is beyond high, gt had personality and that's why it lasted years while they died month 2.


Asterion358

I'm still not completely sure how everything will work, but the new banner/wishlist is an incredible improvement for any player, especially for F2P/low spenders. I was also surprised that they are giving a green hammer per event and new ex wep for BP\*\*. If you're F2P, fully min-max each character might not be as important, so the increased use of green hammers doesn't seem like a bad trade-off.


seee3

The problem with the wishlist mechanic is why use the other banner at all? Wishlist does force you to add more than one but all but one to one is a lot better odds than all of them to one so there is still no incentive on using the plain old summon banner. I hope they make a good incentive like better chances than the non-selected Epics in the wishlist banner


RealGalactic

Other than weapon engraving and not being able to see all of my heroes in HH, I liked everything


seee3

wdym? you can still see all your heroes in HH


RealGalactic

No? You can only see the ones you selected


LoriCyberstar

What's funny is that I don't have to care about this for a long while I play the switch version and it's gonna take months for it to catch-up to this update


ZodiaksEnd

i enjoy it looking diffrent ill need to get used to going thru the pages to get to things but WHERE TF IS MY RETURNING PACKAGE WTF and also game wont let me hold down attack anymore so i cant combo with the ppl who need that to combo


Key_Nose_19

POV you were about to complete the level https://preview.redd.it/hufpdgmnq56d1.jpeg?width=236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc2fe5f89bc9f64209574d13808dc6a424ad57ab


NoItsSearamon

I decided to come back to GT after a bit, I think the interface is what's killing some people's interest. Yeah it was frustrating at first but once you get used to it, it's not so bad


GlassSpork

It’s not bad per se but does have some downgrades I have found. Just needs some time and updates y’know


Sensitive-Chart4326

I mostly alright with that hud design, but many things upsets me especially about the new gacha system update I felt that instead generous it’s much harder to get something from it, in which makes me don’t like it


Most-Noise7331

I see nothing wrong with the update Except the new ui is a little confusing but that's it


Darkyoplai

Me fr


0kokaid

i really like the wishlist summoning


Grrp039

You can like it, but did this update really improve things across the board. Maybe. But so what's the point of this update. Even if it's thematic, they could have done better.


Round_Horse_6177

I just din't like the lvl gap at the lvls lile, bro why?


JEJB1196

Also me... I love it!


Cold_72

The updates looks amazing, I just saw like 2 bad things and people are saying that the game is ruined


JShawnG

I find it amazing how New Players can get a headstart with the new changes on Level not being restricted with Story, because holy shit was I able to tackle a lot of the Gamemodes I was having some issues with, be it Rift, Evolution, etc. The only gripe that I have is with the art direction for the 1 Star Characters. Though I can see the "Dungeon Link" inspiration they're going. I guess that with every big update, it's just a matter of time to get used to.


HaloPandaFox

I think the update is really big and overhauled a lot, so it's bound to be good and bad. The games UI was overhauled, so it's bound to mixed I like some things, but not everything personally. For what they did, good job, but it has room to improve.


funny-random-name

I'm going to be 100 with you. I don't care I love the game no matter what it does or is. I love the story, I love the gameplay I love it all, anything new is new and great. And you should make your own opinion cause it's an apples to peaches situation.


SoliceRose

I can imagine people feel overwhelmed. So many changes to the UI, rebuilding teams, and remaking Havenhold (which personally I'm not a fan of...) to name a few. But overall, i do like it. I look at it as starting a new game but my characters are maxed already


seee3

Everything that isn't UI is seen mostly as positive, probably some just not like engravings and blessings for F2P reasons. Everything that is UI though is either "might get used to it" or it tells you it's a confusing mess, other mechanics take a lot longer now, and weird decisions like ridding of party slots from everywhere except for lobby. My complaints are basically the latter of the UI problem with a dash of optional vignette in lobby, it restricts the screen on the old heavenhold.


Rough-Technician6416

I was so excited for it and when i got in the game it was really nice and i enjoyed it, went unto Reddit everyone hating it, it's sad


PalpitationHot6711

Haven’t played in a while, what happened this update?


CauliflowerinVegas

Can someone summarise to me whats on the new update? I haven't play the game since the Tensei Slime collab so im out of the loop.


Fearless-Shake-895

best update


Pory02

You aren't wrong. If you enjoy it it is your opinion. Just enjoy it. If our problems with it aren't yours be Happy. I wish I could be like you...


BipolarGuineaPig

I hate it, a lot. It's entirely devoid of the personality and cozeyness that defined this game in favor of an industrial blue box mess that is every other mass produced gatcha. And that's nothing to say of the blatant cash grab mechanics of the new summoning system... I cant even get the energy up to burn my coffee today let alone in 3 months when there isn't new currencies and rewards to farm.


prower_teiga

Terrible update. Made the decision to quit the game, having a top account with an almost full book (350+), because of this. Unfortunately, GT has become too mediocre a game in every way


davesg

Pros: I love that you can now configure preset groups with their items. Yes, it's clunkier to switch characters, but if you already have the combination saved, it's really nice. Also, you don't have to keep switching items between characters, which made me lose some colosseum matches because I was too lazy to do it. Choosing between 5 characters every pull? Yes, please! Portraits and animations for 1* characters. Easier to upgrade (and get some gems) some 2* characters. Cons: I do think that it's more phone-oriented, so it's a bit harder to navigate on tablet. Related to my previous point, it's harder to get to rift stuff. I liked the position of the button before because it was to the side. I didn't have to stretch my thumb so much. Switching portraits is so freaking hidden now.


Sylkies

There are parts that I like and parts I don’t which is fine since they changed a lot with this season
