Snowbreak Operation Team

I've been waiting and waiting for the reopening and then through the mess of the very reopening, and coped with various rumours thru reddit, fb, discord etc, just thought to compile them. You could share too if you didnt see one you know of on the list.

To be fair, the last rumour before reopening that they will reopen after china's labour holidays turned out to be true. So it's not always bs.
Also customer service was replying to questions about reopening that it'll be on early may, albeit it being the same machine reply.

1. (On reopening day, friday) The servers are still in a mess, devs are working overtime to fix it, including over the weekend, give it time.
2. The servers are unstable, don't log in until official news comes in, or you might risk losing your account, or whatever you did after the reopening will be wiped when servers are fixed. (They could have just kicked us out of game)
3. The influx of players returning to the game on their reopening is causing an overload on their servers, creating issues (like the censorship lol), and devs are having difficulty fixing it. (They could have just kicked us out of game)
4. LHM's old bad habit is to fix issues before communication, that's why they aren't communicating now. (lol)
5. LHM devs are rehearsing for livestream these few days. (lol)
6. A third party art firm confirms thru system that important people are still in their respective roles for snowbreak, no one left.
7. The game and social media is run by bots at the moment.
8. The game is back to fulfill some legal requirement before announcing the dreaded news.
9. Server issue is likely because it's not just censorship, game-breaking bugs and inconsistencies (some of which are found to be already existing before the long maintainence) are also causing issues for the game.
10. After x time, the game will revert back to normal by devs.
11. The patch after this (after release of fritia) will determine what snowbreak has really become or whether it ends there.
12. They moved to singapore. (They were already registered in singapore before the fiasco happened. it's just for other purposes, payment, etc)

Observation and assumptions:

1. social media post wise, no PV was made. For en side, only announcement of opening servers was made. for cn, however, a followup post about issues with certain payment methods was made a few hours after. but other than that, nothing else.
2. payment methods for cn apparently resumed back to normal yesterday (monday), meaning they ARE fixing stuff, just not that stuff players are thinking of lol.
3. taobao official snowbreak merch page relisted/restocked some merch, but only ones that features chibi cute artworks of the girls or merch that don't feature the girls' art, ie, controller, bags, wedding ring, etc. They actually listed payment window for the figure preorders of cherno maid and vidya. but they didn't even dare to put up the pictures of the figures, just listing it up as big words. (*buying figures on taobao's official shops for game titles is a little unique, you buy the preorder as an item, they send you a card, a nice letter or a collectible token, they tell you in x months when the figure is stock ready, you have a window to pay the rest of the fees thru their shop listings again)
4. regarding the game coming back due to legal reasoning. thanks to this post by NNN_throwaway2 for the cn law excerpt: https://www.reddit.com/r/SnowbreakOfficial/comments/1t9k9ma/comment/ol4dffw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button I don't really know if i'm understanding it correctly but main gist was that they were actually already breaking the rule by being in maintenance for more than 30 days, which means the authorities could shutter the game for good. There's alot of comments about why didn't they just stay dead, but i believe that if the game was shuttered unceremoniously by authorities, it would cause the company to have a bad record too, making them lose credibility to the authorities, making future game release processes more troublesome. So they had to come back but also comply with the censorship this time. Also they need to formally announce the end 60 days before, so at this point there's no signs of it happening.
5. Official discord mods (of all languages) also could not get in contact with official / not receiving any updates from official to handle the crowd too.
6. If they were "fixing the server" they could kick us out at anytime, but they aren't. and the game is actually running relatively well, apart of the fact that we can't see any eye candy.
7. Longyan was previewed back during the studio's year end party or new year party, so it's not surprising she has a "true" version in the files, but that might not be true for the patch after new fritia.

That's all for now i think.

I'm really bummed out, given that i actually decided to keep sb as my main gacha after deciding to drop everything else to control spending, just for it to get beaten into this state. I wish i could say i have faith it'll go back to being what it was. but unless they move out of cn, i doubt they can do anything.
Not like they'd want to since cn is their main income. (if they do split)

anyone know any alternative game to play that have lewd skin and interection like snowbreak before censorship or azur lane and gameplay can be consider enjoyable by your standard, but dont recommend me nikke or brown dust 2

Im just curious about your response, dont kill the messenger

Alright SnowBreak players I have done my research on what’s going on especially in the CN side by reading many posts.

Seems like SnowBreak was a victim of being Mass reported allegedly by other companies in trying to find a way to get rid of the competition. It is not just a political situation.
Snowbreak developers seem to be basically pressured to go into maintenance for 2 months. And when they came back the game is not the same.

This is allegedly a rumor on how other companies get away with getting rid of the competition.

A gacha game like Love and DeepSpace seems to be next on the list since that game is way more intense than Snowbreak and has a huge playerbase of mostly women and millions of dollars are spent monthly.

There’s also a family building law that’s happening in CN right or in the works of being passed.
So many fan service games from CN are possibly going to be getting hit very hard in the upcoming weeks.

So they want the population of males and females to start having families and not be into gacha game characters.

Rumor that’s also going around is that also CN feminists were also angry at the game Snowbreak and been mass reporting it lately for weeks on end because women characters were being seen in a “offensive way”.

So CN Snowbreak players will possibly be reporting Love and DeepSpace also in the process for being too vulgar.

Things are honestly looking very problematic now for the state of SnowBreak many people in CN are also saying they had to open the game back up because allegedly a CN law states you can then file for EOS in 2 months.

So looks like SnowBreak possibly has until July 2026 or it might go End of service.

Hopefully Developers can figure something out if you are a SnowBreak player best thing to do is stay positive,Many rumors are going around best thing to do is wait for upcoming news.

For all the players who woke up disappointed at the censorship do not give up on Snowbreak especially for the ones who are always on the Snowbreak Reddit and Discord server.

We must stick together through these hard times.

Developers will figure something out.

SnowPeak is coming

It is your typical 3 hero skill swap heroes gacha comparable to HI3rd and many other games, only difference is that other games do this with an ARPG combat feel, while SB learns more into being a shooter (some heroes do feel more ARPG than shooter such as Tempest however) There are nothing wrong with it by itself, outside of the clunky cover system. I dont get why people call it bad or meh.

The problem is that the core gameplay dont do the game justice because it is so easy it is not even funny. I wish for hard modes to come back and/or a super hard mode where you clear a stage with just one hero and like Diablo/PoE the mobs have random bonuses (think maps)

The bosses are actually fun and well designed in SB if you go in with weaker heroes, but that direction of the game failed i guess. Destiny Rising that went for that direction is also not doing very well afaik, so maybe ML waifus are the only way for something like this to succeed? I do wish for little optimal very hard content outside of the damage rush ranked mode.
