When will the developers finally add a quick start button to XSR, like in Genshin? I'm just tired of stupidly missing events due to my inability to complete the main story to open them. This is so frustrating and infuriating. Well, please add, why is it so difficult for you? I've been waiting for several patches, but for some reason they still won't make it.
What's the problem with going through the story? With each patch it will move further and further and you will need even more time to complete the story, why delay?
If you've been waiting for several patches, then why haven't you completed the story?
Is Patch 6 coming out? It’s just that usually the updates came out on Wednesdays, but now 6 will fall on Tuesday
The developers themselves announced the release on the 6th on stream, as well as the extension of the patch for a week. After that, however, they no longer confirmed it 🤔
We are waiting for the official announcement, then they will definitely say the release date.
How much memory will the preload for the update take? Is it known? Or no
I wonder if there will be any additional rewards for the Chinese New Year
So they gave it. 10 Krutok where March 7
this is 10 twists in connection with the release of Penaconia and not in connection with NG
Even Misha looks like Masha, but not like Misha...
Will there be any disadvantages?
Of course not
I don’t like the way Misha looks at all ((and the facial expression is ridiculous and the style of clothing of the characters I don’t like is European, like Star Rail, like Genshin. Asian or modern space style is much cooler!
maybe it’s more that he looks more like a transvestite?)
Mmm, Mishanya... Well, we've arrived(
this red robot with a TV is not a parody of Atomsk from flcl?
