1. Initial Reactions and Criticism of the Brilliant Gem Account-Bound Announcement
Reason for turning on the early morning broadcast: Due to the announcement regarding Brilliant Gems.
Summary of the announcement: Gem account-binding confirmed, 4% stronger based on level 8.
Problem 1: The account-unbind period is one week, and crystals are consumed for immediate unbinding.
Problem 2: Expected backlash from 'Nice Squad' users (alt character leveling method).
Problem with the order: User backlash intensified by announcing gem changes before presenting a growth vision.
2. Confused User Reactions and GomCast's Preparation
Uncertainty about the May live stream: Confusion whether it's confidence or a lack of understanding.
Deepening conflict between users: Regret over the situation of mutual blame.
GomCast's preparation: Preparing for changes in the 'Nice Squad', preparing for Beast Summoner (Tier 4 not in progress).
3. Importance of Growth Burden and Communication Method
Importance of alleviating the growth burden: Backlash intensified because the growth burden remains the same, but only the gem system is changed.
Importance of communication method: Need for communication that soothes emotional aspects.
4. GomCast's Past Advice and Current Situation Regarding the 'Nice Squad'
Past advice: Warned about the possibility of reduced effectiveness of the 'Nice Squad' due to the Season 3 patch.
Current situation: GomCast anticipated the changes and prepared for Beast Summoner as a precaution.
Lost Ark's patch trend: Frequent extreme patches that surprise users.
5. Difficulty in Comforting Users and the Sense of Loss Among 'Nice Squad' Users
Limitations of comforting users: Comfort is not achieved due to spec comparisons, etc.
Sense of loss among 'Nice Squad' users: Regret over main character growth limitations and previous investments.
Possibility of positive changes as a result: Even if the summer update is positive, the current shock will not easily subside.
6. Smilegate's Intentions and the Difference in User Perception
Speculation on Smilegate's intentions: Simultaneously pursuing main character satisfaction and resolving the 'Nice Squad' issue.
User perception: Possibility of being seen as Smilegate's greed.
Announcement explaining only a part: User backlash intensified because only the gem system was explained.
7. Discrepancy Between Gem Performance and User Perception
The gem performance itself is not a problem, but the way users perceive it is important.
The area of perception that users play the game in is another problem.
8. Criticism of the Problem-Solving Method
Importance of the problem-solving order: Approaching the root of the problem should come first.
Current situation: Feeling like showing from step 4, skipping steps 1, 2, and 3.
Possibility of a reversal through the May live stream: Possibility of attempting a reversal during the May live stream after hitting rock bottom.
9. Expectations and Concerns for the May Live Stream
Expectations for the May live stream: Aggro will definitely be drawn.
Criticism of the announcement method: An announcement at a level where users could make extreme choices.
GomCast's position: Will record the situation and watch, still an interesting game.
10. Closing and Future Plans
Plan to utilize the created video: Public release exclusively for YouTube members.
Future plans: Will watch and look forward to various announcements and live broadcasts.
Closing: Ending the live broadcast at 1 AM on May 3rd.
