HACKED 28

<No Lifer> is a game of compatibility, by compatibility, and for compatibility.

Status abnormalities are about compatibility, buffs and debuffs are about compatibility, and even the long lists of traits and skills that Incarnations possess in their information windows are ultimately a part of compatibility.

In an extreme hypothetical, it means there is a possibility that a unit of 1-star characters with perfectly tuned compatibility could take down a 5-star character placed in an environment with extremely poor compatibility… even if it’s not 100%, the chance exists to some extent.

Because of this, users of <No Lifer> cannot engage in the convenient playstyle of “gathering only the best” as they do in other games.

One might sort by stats and put the number one tank, the number one melee dealer, the number one ranged dealer, the number one healer, and the number one buffer into a single unit. This is a method taken for granted in other character-collection mobile games.

To put it briefly, there are many games that do this for you with just a single press of an “Auto-Deploy” button. That is why the main decks of users who have played a decent amount of games are all glittering with SSRs.

But… in <No Lifer>, if you mistakenly stick to this playstyle, things get wrecked. What things? The morale of the entire unit. And the compatibility.

As mentioned before, there was a specific incident that caused <No Lifer> to become famous on the internet. That incident is now referred to loosely as the <Great No Lifer Battle>… but in the early days, the name was different.

The <Great Muramasa Battle>.

What is “Muramasa”? As you can guess from the sound, it is Japanese.

To be precise, it is the name of a famous Japanese sword, the name of the master craftsman who made that sword, and a name carried on by the disciples of the disciples of the disciples that craftsman raised…

To put it simply in modern terms, it is a brand name. It is the same principle as how the designer Coco Chanel, the brand she created, and the products of that brand are all called “Cha*el.”

Content: I pulled a 5-star one-handed sword called Muramasa from the equipment gacha. (Screenshot.jpg) Look at that luster. The stats are damn sexy-chic-cool-awesome lol lol lol Skrrr~~~~~ I poured my whole salary for this month into it, but something finally dropped. Yahoo I’m So Happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments: ― Look at that loud-mouthed pull-bragging… making me want to vomit.

ㅤ└ (OP) This board exists for that very purpose lol if you’re salty go somewhere else. ㅤ└ Poked?

ㅤ└ Welcome, gacha-failer~

― Congrats, have a drink.

― If you dumped your salary, you must have almost hit the spark limit lol lol. Yep, there goes another pay-pig lol lol lol lol Boundary Laboratory is having a Korean beef dinner tonight, let’s goooo.

ㅤ└ I can see you writing this through gritted teeth, friend.

ㅤ└ lol I can hear the sound of jealous rage from here.

ㅤ└ He’s gone crazy because he can’t sell his account for cash… how pitiful.

ㅤ└ (OP) Grinding your molars until they disappear, right? Just about to get implants, right?

ㅤ└ Unable to sincerely congratulate another’s joy, instead feeling envy, jealousy, spite, hatred, anger, resentment, despair, pain,

― Muramasa? Top-tier one-handed sword, yeah.

ㅤ└ (OP) Huh, top-tier? Is that settled?

ㅤㅤ└ Yeah, yeah, there was a fight with over 1,000 comments about it before.

ㅤㅤㅤ└ Someone give me a portal link.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└http://lounge.indiegame.com/no-lifer/83781924

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ lol holy crap, the Japan-stans, history geeks, performance-meta nerds, and lore-explainer nerds are all gathered here. Look at how fat all these comment sections are;; it’s sickening. Why do politics and historical verification between Korea, China, and Japan come up when talking about game item performance? I want to smack these losers in the head one by one.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ Why are you talking like that?

ㅤㅤ└ There was a lot of talk, but in my opinion, everything below Muramasa is trash. If it’s a 5-star, it’s probably not the nameless Muramasa but the Muramasa with the Demon Blade legend attached, right? Try giving it to an Incarnation with the ‘Samurai’ trait. They’ll literally fly.

ㅤㅤㅤ└ (OP) God-Son-Jung.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ What is Son-Jung?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ (OP) 村正 (Muramasa)

― (OP) Actually, I have a 5-star Incarnation in my main deck who uses a one-handed sword lol. Not a samurai, but anyway lol. I’m going to give it to him now lol lol lol. Thanks everyone!!!

ㅤ└ Hey, but friend.

ㅤ└ I’m the one who wrote the top-tier comment earlier.

ㅤ└ When giving out Japanese swords, you have to look closely at the traits… especially if your Incarnation is of modern-contemporary or East Asian origin…

ㅤ└ Friend, friend, please check quickly.

ㅤ└ ;;;;;

Title: I equipped the gear according to the advice I got on the lounge and I’m ruined… is this right?

Content: I’m the No-Lifer who wrote the ‘Heyheyheyheyhey Jack-pot-jack-pot-jack-pot-jack-pot’ post.http://lounge.indiegame.com/no-lifer/88029634 Leaving the link to the previous post first. (Screenshot.jpg) (Screenshot.jpg) (Screenshot.jpg) (Screenshot.jpg)

Three-line summary:

1. Pulled a 5-star sword from equipment gacha and excitedly equipped it on my main deck Incarnation.
2. But this guy’s affinity kept dropping and he kept refusing the equipment;; I ignored it and kept equipping it.
3. After repeating it a few times, he recited a weird line, suddenly broke the sword, and committed suicide??… Both the gear and the Incarnation are gone.

I don’t know… I’ve left an inquiry with customer service for now. I asked people around me and they said it’s not a server error or a bug, but an event that happened during gameplay, so the recovery rate is almost 0%. I really want to die, I think I poured about 5 million won just to pull this. What should I do?

Comments:

― ?

― ??

― No… I don’t understand even 1% of what you’re saying right now, friend.

ㅤ└ Same here.

ㅤ└ Same.

ㅤ└ Same here.

ㅤㅤ└ (OP) It’s exactly as I wrote, there’s nothing more to explain… My head hurts so much and I’m crying constantly right now so the sentences might be weird, but I didn’t lie.

ㅤㅤㅤ└ No, damn it, I’m not saying you’re lying, I’m saying I don’t understand what you’re saying.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ Here comes the 3-piece set of the “pissed off Korean” lol.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ “No” + “Damn it” + “But” triple combo lol lol lol.

― First, calm down and tell us in detail… what do you mean suicide? You sent that Incarnation into battle and he died??

ㅤ└ (OP) No, I didn’t even send him to battle… he just died while I was trying to equip the gear on the Pantheon main screen.

ㅤㅤ└ ??????

― Incarnation suicide?? What is this now? This is some fresh new bullshit I’ve never heard of.

― Ah, I’m the one who commented at the end of the previous post… ah, friend… ah.

ㅤ└ (OP) Do you know something? I’m seriously going crazy right now.

ㅤㅤ└ Recite that Incarnation’s name and traits.

ㅤㅤㅤ└ (OP) <Volunteer Soldier of 28 Years Wishing for Goryeo’s Independence>, traits are Humanoid, General, History, Real, Korean origin… I wrote down what I saw in the remaining screenshots… I couldn’t hear all the dialogue because I was clicking through quickly, but it was something like “I would rather die than fight while handling a Japs’ blade like it’s a part of my own body.” Anyway, it was a line like that.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ Oh boy.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ This is… definitely that person.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ You really are something.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ Go bash your head and die, seriously.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ└ My apologies, General… it’s thanks to people like the General that jerks like this can play games with their limbs stretched out comfortably at home.

― What the hell did the OP do wrong????? Is equipping gear on a game character a crime??? No, compatibility or whatever, if the player says equip it, he should shut up and equip it; it’s a character and gear pulled with paid currency, isn’t it the fault of the developer who made it so easy to get destroyed;; I really don’t understand this atmosphere.

ㅤ└ Traitor mode ON.

ㅤ└ You go bash your head too.

If this matter had ended there, it would have been wrapped up as just “a massive blunder by an ignorant player”… but unfortunately, the captures spread to all sorts of communities.

What kind of world is this nowadays? This matter was eventually carried overseas by diligent global netizens.

A game called 「No Lifer」, it’s my first time hearing of it? Isn’t the national bias too much? One cannot help but doubt the political ideology of the creator. Because things like this exist, I do not consume things like Korean-made content.

It is exactly as you say. (´・ω・｀) Nowadays, Korea does nothing but say 「We are the best!」 about everything. ( ﾟдﾟ)､ﾍﾟｯ Do they think it’s not strange to put political propaganda even in games? One cannot help but say it’s too much even for consumers who suffered damage without knowing anything. How would it be for such a country to call itself a cultural powerhouse? m9(^Д^)Pugyaaa

A game called 「No Lifer」, I tried playing it myself but…… honestly, it was something where I couldn’t feel any fun (^ω^) Compared to our own country’s games, the difference in quality is too much. As expected, I cannot help but say it feels like a Korean-made product ( ´,_ゝ`)www

Captures of these strangely translated posts were imported back into the country again…

― What are these jerks saying?

― No, damn it, No Lifer is a domestic indie game that the teachers at Boundary Laboratory made bit by bit as a cottage industry lol lol lol lol lol. It hasn’t even been officially released overseas and they’ve blocked overseas IPs lol lol lol lol lol. Who is the one evaluating it after using a VPN to illegally play it anyway?????

― I should spend more money just because I’m triggered.

― You people at Bound.Lab (Boundary Laboratory), open your wallets wide. Cash magic is coming.

― Huaaang, don’t fight, anti-Korean-chans, let’s stan No-Lif together♡ Want to see a screenshot of my 5-star Incarnation? The essence of “Woman” herself. The devil of women and the devil of Incarnations. The authority on Incarnations. Number one in the industry. Demon King. Idol. The perfect ultimate Wagamama beautiful girl. My love, my soul. (Photo)

ㅤ└ Is this guy an ally or an enemy? The way he talks is disgusting.

ㅤㅤ└ Leave him alone, he’s a berserker.

ㅤㅤ└ (OP) Getting insulted… my body is becoming strange…♡ Oh my… this feeling… might be a little good..?♡♡

ㅤㅤㅤ└ Reply) Damn it.

― (Summary at the bottom) Add) Add) Domestic mobile game that seems to have its coordinates pinned on 6ch right now.jpg

― “Please, if you are Korean, let’s play No Lifer.”

― “No Limit for No Lifer.”

― Still, if I see people on my timeline saying the No Lifer management did something wrong, I’m blocking them immediately~ No, just you guys block me first. I don’t want to see any more people chanting for a neutral gear even in this situation.

― I’m going to make one honest statement: it’s seriously so exhausting how Koreans rush in and beat someone up whenever an issue arises. lol..lol.lol.lol. Those aren’t even the representative opinions of the people in that country, and you’re cyberbullying them by adding thousands of quotes over what a few Net-Right-wingers posted on a whim.. lol. Yeah, yeah, that’s what I think. I’m holding back because of the 140-character limit.

…That’s how it went.

I think there’s a sense that the situation was blown out of proportion because of malicious trolls on both sides who wanted to fuel collective madness, but it’s already in the past, so let’s just move on.

Anyway, this was the whole story of the <Great No Lifer Battle>, the starting point where <No Lifer> first gained word-of-mouth on the internet, and…

‘Merging’ has begun. The enemy is approaching. Promptly organize a unit to survive the ‘merging’.

The reason why I am currently racking my brain.
