Wuthering Waves fans call out crucial problems leading to “endless grinding”

by

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I’ve played my fair share of gacha games and can’t help but feel a pang of familiarity when it comes to Wuthering Waves‘ current in-game economy. The recent release of Changli’s banner may have brought excitement to the game, but as someone who has been there before with titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact 3rd, and ZZZ, I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu.

Wuthering Waves has been garnering much interest due to the latest unveiling of Changli’s promotional material. As a gacha game, it’s crucial for players to be engaged, and while regular content updates offer novelty, they don’t alter the fact that these games essentially have no finish line in terms of progression.

As someone who has spent countless hours playing Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves, I can confidently say that farming for resources is a common thread that binds these games together. In each of them, there’s an incentive to gather the best possible equipment or artifacts to optimize your characters’ stats.

OP Temporary_Lawyer4896 delves deeper into the economic matters of WuWa in a Reddit post titled “A frank discussion on WuWa’s in-game economy.” In this entry, they discuss the intricacies of gathering resources for Echoes and their leveling, as well as managing currency to advance characters. Stamina is identified as a significant challenge throughout this process.

I can relate to that feeling of being torn between so many demands in a popular online game. It seems like there’s always something new to farm for – Echoes, character ascension materials, weapon ascension materials, skill upgrades, and the ever-elusive shell credits. And it’s not just the farming that takes time and effort; tacet fields that cost 60 stamina feel like an insurmountable challenge some days.

One comment on the post concurs, expressing that the grinding issue is bothersome due to the hassle of obtaining accurate main stat echoes. Based on my observation, this predicament appears quite common in Wuthering Waves. In Genshin Impact, as you advance your Union Rank, you increase the ascension limit for your characters. Once you reach a certain Union Rank level, you can farm for improved Echoes. Genshin Impact manages character development in this manner, but the scarcity of Original Resin in Wuthering Waves feels more pressing compared to WuWa’s Stamina.

As a long-time fan of role-playing games (RPGs), I’ve spent countless hours building and enhancing my characters to take on increasingly challenging battles. However, with Wuthering Waves, I’ve found myself feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. It’s not just about having enough stamina; it’s about the materials required to elevate each aspect of my characters.
