I’ll go first lol
I know a lot of us are not spending on the game anytime soon so I wanna see what your serotonin looks like 🙂↕️
Also not having to budget in lads has felt very freeing, not to mention the feeling of having savings for when the game is fixed (s tier cope)
The revenue spike was short lived. So far based on Qiami Iphone data Raf's myth made:
Day 1: $1,253,798
Day 2:$725,793
The last myth worst day 2 revenue made $1,256,480 so this is a 43% drop from that. LSG's second day made $1,841,883 so from that this is a 59% drop and compared to the myth's previous day this is also a 43% drop already.
they're my favorite to read (fanart welcome too though!), and I know the tags aren't used every time they could be, which is why I'm asking here.
I’ve created a survey to better understand where Love and Deepspace players currently stand regarding Valko and his cancellation.
The survey looks at players’ experiences, changes in gameplay and spending, opinions of Valko before and after his cancellation, and what players would like Infold to do moving forward. My goal is to collect a broad range of player perspectives, not just those who support or oppose Valko.
Once enough responses have been collected, I intend to compile the results and present the information directly to the Love and Deepspace team so they can see where their players actually stand.
If you play L&D, I’d really appreciate you taking the time to participate and sharing the survey with other players. Every response helps. 💚

In celebration of Qixi festival today, cn valkyries updated lettertovalko site (there other events too) and added a section where you can have written marriage certificate with valko! go marry your man here .
I’m sorry, but the first time I heard Sylus say this, I couldn’t help but think of this Chris Hansen interview 📺
First time posting on this sub but I am still actively boycotting as a Raf main/girlie who won’t spend a penny until Valko is back, but I am here to ask a question.
Has anyone else been getting these type of notifications lately since the new myth dropped? This is the second time I’ve woken up in the middle of the night to see this promo notice on my phone (and I’m pretty this one in the screenshot is different from yesterday). I have seen this type of notification before in the past after an update or new myth but not like this, usually it was once and never multiple over the span of two days. I really think Infold is getting desperate to win players back to the game because this new Rafayel myth didn’t do nearly as good as his 3rd and are trying to tempt players to spend money.
But besides that #BringBackValko #NoValkoNoMoney #LadsIs6 keep up the boycott until we get the wolf back.
These past three days haven’t been the best for me, and yes I still do think Valko can return, but all the stress of life has piled onto me and started making me a bit pessimistic. I just wanna read everyone’s reasons to believe Valko will return, some hope and reminders might make me feel better. Thanks you guys.
His eyes are hardest to get right for me 👀
What does this mean!?? Also this is just smth I saw on x, thought id show u guys as well, dont take it too seriously..
is it only me or is mc even more obscured than usual compared to many of the other myths? in the trailers, companion rehearsal (ultimate/burst especially) and cutscene previews she is either ultra zoomed in for a split second or a convenient back view. I could be unconsciously exaggerating it bc of all the recent happenings (:() but looking at GoA from a year ago it really seems like night and day. I am especially saddened bc companions usually become the new meta and are baked into gameplay, so unlike memory cutscenes you can't really avoid this newer approach if you aren't a fan and go back to older cards. seems kinda unbalanced from a design perspective too that if we're able to switch out to play a large part of combat as raf (mc literally becomes his mask 😭) there isn't significant facial focus on mc in his ultimate. thoughts are welcome and appreciated!
I'm very conflicted and probably won't be using the free pulls they give us in the new event. think I logged in a grand total of twice in the past 30 days, coming from 50-100 day prior streaks. I was curious ab the new myth but I don't think it's going to make me come back to the game.
Furiously created this in Canva instead of sleeping.
reveal thyself LURKER. it's not gonna change the facts

Here we have it. Keep in mind that this is Qimai data only from CN iPhones and iPads. Here are all the pics' contexts:
The last pic is Rafayel's 3rd myth's first day revenue but only the red bracketed part is relevant rn. It takes a few days for global revenue to get posted but it's $168k (of that $80k is US rev) so far but it will be more than that.
Overall this means that CN Iphone revenue is 33% lower on this myth than for Rafayel's previous myth. I think it'll be an even bigger revenue drop for global but love y'all raf mains who didn't spend. Keep the revenue numbers down everyone, for our knotlord Valko!
Drew the plushies to give out as mini prints during a local con.
How. How do u girlies deal with it?😭 Im so tempted to click on them but Im also boycotting the game my hoshi is raphy I dont know what to do is someone living the same as me? Ughhh😭
Infold, I was kidding, okay?! I dont care WHO shows up first when I enter the game. JUST PLEASE BRING THE WOLF BACK!!! I can't take it anymore. Raf looks gorgeous, and I can't wait to cry my eyes out and think about the plot for a good 5-7 days after I've read it, but for the love, I NEED things to run how they were first supposed to. Screw the romance; I'll be so turned off if the main story gets rewritten, knowing it was supposed to be something else. Imma give it till Caleb and Sylus's story branch, and then, after, if I still don't hear anything, I'll have one less reason not to fall asleep after work instead of being productive. PLEASE, you guys just bring Valko back or at least give us a sign that the announcement of your decision will be soon!
Okay so I’m a Rafayel main and I’m currently participating in the boycott, not logging into the game, not playing, did not watch the full myth on YT just yet because it makes
me too sad. I do know his myth is getting a lot of criticism (which, I won’t lie, seems like a LOT of it is pretty unfounded and nitpicky, i find the theme gorgeous and i think he looks amazing), but I have a question for anyone that has seen the second kindled on this myth because I haven’t seen many people talking about it.
Am I right that he… quite literally skewers MC and doesn’t seem all that upset about it? Like I do think he heals her in the end, sure, but in that moment when he kind of comes back to himself, he… isn’t the slightest bit devastated that he hurt his girl? Not even a little bit of panic? Nothing? Rafayel maintains his composure there?
What the hell? Being a major lover of LSG and a HUGE fan of the devastated look on his face at the end of that myth, I walked out of this kindled like…. dude, that’s it? Am I seeing this correctly?

Looking at recent sales figures, it's clear that a good number of players have chosen to pause their support of the game. I'm interested in what would motivate us into returning (whether that means from a complete boycott or from having reduced your usual activity or spending), because the answers are obviously going to be different depending on who you ask. So! Anonymous poll linked above, structured more for simplicity than all exhaustive nuances.
Obligatory disclaimer that results are not reflective of the whole community, only of those that are here to see the poll while it's active right now, and that results could be manipulated but I hope it won't be because it's just a little guy
In answer to the post by u/iamyyasmeen, I got a little invested and read up a bit on Chinese history and rewrote stuff I found on the interwebs:
A famous wolf once said: *Only an enemy... will stay with you until the end.*
So here is some hopium to smoke: 🐺🦆
The terms *mandarin duck, wolf brush, wolf troops (Lanbing 狼兵)* connect directly to the military innovations of the famous national hero Ming dynasty General Qi Jiguang (1528-1588), who was later deified as colloquially as *God of War* for famously defeating *coastal pirates (Wokou 倭寇 - the Anti-Chinese term the Antis coined the players defending Valko)* and reinforcing the Great Wall.
He created the tactical war innovation called *Mandarin Duck Formation (Yuanyang Zhen 鴛鴦陣*) a celebrated tactical military array invented specifically to fight these pirates using the *wolf brush (langxian )* \- a multi-branched, spiked bamboo polearm.
He is also famously known for his *intense fear and love for his fierce wife, Lady Wang, as he is for his military efforts*. His wife Lady Wang came from a prominent military family and was known for her unyielding, sharp temperament, easily outcommanding her husband in domestic spaces. Despite the comedic folklore of him being "*henpecked*," their relationship survived decades of high-stakes political and military life until pressures and childlessness strained their later years (eerily reminiscent of how MC is the general and the God of War is literally her subordinate, huh?).
The terms "Lanbing" (狼兵, wolf troops) and *Wolf troops* refer to historical ethnic auxiliary soldiers from southern China used during the Ming and Qing dynasties and specifically General Qi Jiguang. They were recruited from minority groups like the Zhuang, Yao, and Liang, and earned a reputation as ferocious, highly effective shock infantry.
SO MAYBE WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY VALKYRIES BUT LANBING/WOLF TROOPS?
