Rank is still a valid way to tell who's a "noob" or not, a Lv0 has nothing meaning they are obviously gonna be new to the game. It's not said in a derogatory way, just a way to say "hey this is a new player".
Semantics.
I guess you are right, i just can't stand that word, for me sounds so despective. You can say newbie and don't sound too bad.
But well lets talk about Lune, i was waiting to the update to maybe the price drop a little to buy her, but i finally decide to buy her.
Its fun to play with her, and now that i have her weapons blueprints im only waithing for the update to bring some new mechanich to build the weapons.
Be a antagonist is not fun for me, even if i only need like 2 wins to obtain the weapons its too much for me
I also dont like be pushed to be antagonist just to built the weapons that take me alot of effort to obtain.
If Lune can control the minds of the npc, maybe she should give orders to the controlled npc, like "come here" or "attack that target", it feels a little useless to control a unit who just wanders away while you are surrounded by enemies.
I hope Lune become more popular, so some new skins for her be made, i´m willing to buy one or two.
And sorry for my bad english
