VENT AHEAD Re: Valko Cancellation/Infold
They didn't have to completely get rid of Valko.
Was I a bit confused/frustrated/annoyed when Infold decided to release a New LI when there was missing Sylus and Caleb content... as a CrowApple girlie, yes.
Did I want them to focus more on the Main Story instead of pumping out banners left-right and center? As someone who loves the game for the plot, yes.
But... Was I also excited for Valko? YES!!!!!
The anger and frustration for Infold was misplaced and taken out on Valko instead. If Infold addressed the fans concerns, it probably wouldn't have gone this way... and now we won't get to know him, or any future LI. Period.
I was looking forward to new content, a new LI to get to know!! Someone completely different! AND to even out the cast!! While I was sceptical about the whole werewolf trope, I was also sceptical about Caleb when he returned, so I was willing to give Valko a chance. Valko was so campy and different, I already decided he was gonna be my top 3, him already taking Caleb's no. 2 spot (sorry Appleboy)
I was already reading fanfiction, following new Valko based accounts, searching for content ready for his new release. I was more excited after the 6.0 livestream (geez, how was that literally 24 hours ago?!) And omg, his song was released only a few hours ago on spotify and I've had it ON REPEAT cos its so catchy!!
To go so far as to completely delete Valko is completely stupid?!!! I can't imagine his team right now, how devastated they must be!! Look, maybe they could've compromised and pushed back his release in favour of updating Caleb's chapter, and his and Sylus's missing content. Even a later release next year. But now, even as I'm writing this, I'm literally watching them delete all his announcements and content off of their social media. So, what? Now he's just going to be a Lost LI forever? This isn't fair at all!!
I was already losing interest in the game and only logging in for dailies. Now, I'm not sure what to do. I had just updated my Aurum Pass too... Everything feels like such a waste now. All my time, money, tears (of joy/angst)... it feels so bitter.
I'm at such a loss. I'm really hoping I wake up tomorrow (Aussie Hunter here, hello!! š¦šŗ) and they've changed their minds...
#bringbackvalko awooooo!!
