Players of GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE are expressing frustration over discrepancies between the global and Chinese (CN) server versions. Since the CN server launched on May 22, users have noted significant improvements, such as reduced loading times, auto-progress features for Tribe Towers, buffed characters, enhanced shops, and more. The CN server also offers a more favorable system for obtaining high-tier characters via Molds, including a guaranteed SSR after accumulating 50 pity shards and higher chances of receiving SSRs or SRs without Rs.
The global community has responded with disappointment, believing the global version is being neglected. Fans on platforms like Reddit and Discord have voiced their discontent, creating numerous threads with hundreds to thousands of upvotes and comments. One notable thread highlights a private skin exclusive to the CN server, sparking demands for similar benefits globally. Despite SHIFT UP's acknowledgment of the issue and commitment to supporting both versions, the backlash continues, with players mocking their response and calling for boycotts and spending freezes.
Community Reaction to SHIFT UP’s Developer’s Note
In response to fan outrage, SHIFT UP addressed the situation in their May 2025 Developer’s Note, explaining that the CN version would follow a separate build due to the 2.5-year gap. While acknowledging the potential for spoilers, they emphasized that this separation allows for unique and complementary content. The company assured fans that both versions will evolve independently and enrich each other.
Despite this explanation, fans remain dissatisfied. Subreddits like r/NikkeMobile and r/gachagaming have lampooned the developer’s stance, with users creating memes and satirical posts to highlight their frustration. Calls for reviewing bombing and halting in-game spending persist as part of the ongoing protest. As of now, the future remains uncertain, with fans continuing to demand parity between the global and CN server versions.
