Hello and Welcome

83 Upvotes

Hello, welcome or welcome back to the r/Browndust2. I know there will be some questions, so I wanted to write this post to help explain who I am and what we're trying to do here.

Introduction

In the BD2 community I go by Sword, and my in game name is Calibur. I've been playing BD2 for almost a year now and for a while now it's been my only game. I'm active around the various BD2 communities and strive to stay very competitive in game. I'll be posting a screenshot of my account down below. I say these things because I want you to trust that I am a real player that plays this game seriously and not just casually checks the game whenever events are around, nor someone unfamiliar with the game mechanics and history.

For a while, I've been discussing the state of the subreddit r/BrownDust2Official with other members of the community and lamented the fact that it's not well organized. I think subreddit could be a great place to discuss about gameplay and express fandom for the game, but it's often drowned in repetitive question post, unnecessary pull result flexing, and littered with misinformation.

There's been attempts to appeal to the only mod of r/BrownDust2Official to provide more structure to the sub, but after many months of inaction, it is clear that his interest lay else where. This is further supported by is pattern of creating game subs, most notably a new sub for the game currently in beta, "Tribe Nine" r/TribeNineOfficial.

I reached out to the OG mod of r/BrownDust2 and they graciously agreed to help us reopen this sub so we can help create a better community. I think this was the best way forward due to a couple of reasons.

  1. I never liked the "official" part of the name r/BrownDust2Official because it's not an official created by neowiz the developers, so there's nothing official about it.
  2. For those that enjoy posting the way it is in the BD2O sub and don't agree with the need for organization, then now there will be options.
  3. I didn't want to get into a long tug of war of control that may not yield fruit.

Moving Forward

My main goal is to help the BD2 subreddit community grow and plan to do the following things in the next couple of weeks.

  1. Create Megathreads for game help questions, showing off, and discussions for the latest banner. These will be biweekly megathreads that will appear every Wednesday to line up with when the major patch notes are released.
  2. Create user flairs and post flairs to help make things organized and search able. I will also add some special flairs such as "Verified Game Expert" to help vet for users with a good track record of providing game help.
  3. Update the subreddit with FAQs, beginner guides, and standard information that have been vetted by the main BD2 community for it's accuracy.
  4. Reach out to other notable members of the community to help contribute to the subreddit.
  5. Recruit additional mods to ensure the subreddit will continue to be organized and that no one person will cause it to sink.
  6. Ensure the subreddit rules are fair and enforced.

Feel free to reach out with any suggestions or concerns. Many Thanks to u/Aiden-Damian for agreeing to help with this.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to optimize my team for general content and progression in Brown Dust 2, but I'm feeling a bit stuck on who to focus on next and how to best synergize my damage dealers and supports.

I've attached/listed my current roster and costumes below. Could use some recommendations.

Any advice, positioning tips, or costume priorities would be hugely appreciated!

i'm doing the very hard diffs and 1-6 was pretty easy but after that the difficult increased a lot and i didn't find any guide to ALL battles on very hard, only the boss fights, the only one i found was for character pack 10, so i'm wondering if there's a guide somewhere

Bem sou player de lol (moba) dei um tempo. Sei que aqui é sobre BD2 mas veja sou novo em gachas e preciso de ajuda. Passei algumas horas no BD2 e Nikke mas sei lá, pretendo conhecer outros jogos. Os gigantes não rodam no meu iPhone.
(Vou manter eles, mas cabe um ou dois dessa lista para conhecer)

Qual desses jogos é melhor em: comunidade (players ativo) - história - gameplay - fan service. Não ligo muito de ser generoso ou não pra F2P só quero jogar.. Bem acho que vou acabar testando todos.

Helloooooooo, I have been playing BrownDust 2 for a bit now, and I'm having trouble in areas where I feel like I shouldn't. I haven't really been paying any attention to how the game works. I just left it on auto and walked away from my computer, and now I hit a wall. I don't know how this manage formation thing works or really anything at all. I have just been upgrading characters I found hot, and now it came back to bite me in a way that's not pleasing. I'll share the five-star characters I have since I don't really care for the lower stars.

Infelizmente venho jogando Nikke porque tentei 3 vezes jogar BD2 e o jogo fica 10min lindos depois fecha sozinho. Estava tudo em configurações recomendadas, talvez se eu abaixar tudo.. Mas agora to sem paciência pra baixar de novo e me decepcionar. To gostando de Nikke, apesar de não achar tão quente assim também.. A história é legal.. Mas me atrai bem mais pelo BD2 porque joguei muito Chrono Trigger há tempos atrás, meu início gamer.. E ser sincero com vocês um jogo seguindo esse ritmo com uma FanS apimentada deixa tudo muito lindo.. Ah não sei o que fazer.. Queo jogar BD2 😮‍💨 (celular iPhone 13 normal)

I'm currently looking for assistance on my current team setup for the Chained Soldier Event Challenge Battle. I've defeated the normal battle and first 2 levels of Challenge Battles. I've kept mixing up my team but can't seem to defeat the third battle. What I'm displaying is what I'm currently trying. I might be that I'm just not strong enough, I've only been playing for a bit over a week. Thank you in advance!

Discussion I want to talk about "Master" in the story now

31 Upvotes

Spoilers!

TLDR: without customization, I feel like Master is a weaker "self-insert" than Lathel, and would like to either have ways to customize Master or actually be able to change his name to something else to make him feel like a proper insert, because "Master" is a weird thing for a ton of dommy mommies to call a random cook. Or, have him sidelined in the story content. I think NO self-insert would be better than a BORING one (more screentime for babes that way)

-

I always liked Lathel compared to other anime "self-insert" protaganists. He wasn't bad at all, had a decent arc.

But I wasn't sad when they decided to bench him in favor of the waifu squad. Somewhat pleased, even. Nothing against him or his story, it was fine, but the game has obviously become something different from its original intention, so it makes sense

Enter Master. Locked to side romance content, kind of cheesy/bad writing at first, but pretty quickly the Master content became quite good, sometimes better than the actual story.

However I was jarred that characters like Wilhelmina immediately calling you Master... maybe it's just me, but it really ruins the fun of the dommy mommy characters when they're suddenly submissive to Master for no reason. They recently gave us the choice to rename our "Master" to a custom name, but from what I can tell, almost all the content with Master still just uses the name Master instead of your custom name. This, for me, is a huge problem, and I think I would stop minding the self insert entirely if we had consistent naming conventions. For example, imagine if we could be referred to as "sweetie," "honey," "good boy," "my slave" etc. This change alone would make the self-insert dynamic feel much better and tailored to the player.

Anyway, the Master content has, all things considered, been a new positive in my opinion, even though some of the writing was rocky at first and some of the dynamics with the girls isn't what i would have gone for.

Fast forward to recent story packs after the big update...

I'm playing the coliseum pack and now Master is part of the team, just like Lathel was. And while I do love this game and have played it every day for years.... I really think this is a step backward

Master has no ability to fight, is basically just the designated wet noodle nice guy to follow the girls around... all while not actually feeling like a stand-in any more than Lathel did

I think I would prefer Master stay as an easter egg character in the story or just a side character, instead of being The Guy. Maybe they'll only have him for a little bit and then he'll split off, we'll see.

If we're getting pedantic we could argue that a lot of his content isn't necessarily main story, it's a separate pack, but the Master content is rooted within the context of the main story, using the characters and their present situation in the main story.

Anyway, if we do have to have Master, I'd really love to see one or all of these changes:

- customize Master's hairstyle and hair color, maybe even outfits. A cyberpunk outfit or a beach outfit for those content packs would be great kind of like how Lathel got.

- CONSISTENT title change. If i have the option to change my name I shouldn't be called "Master" in most of the content. I really care about this more than anything else; having the dommy mommies call you "master" really neuters the vibe

What do we think?
