The newest addition to the Valorant cast, Waylay, has riled up the gaming community news just below the confusion mark. The rather recent tweet concerning the availability of Waylay sure went on to already put this BS to rest, especially after players were teased about her “AVAILABLE SOON.” The tweet made it abundantly clear, however, that she is either playable now or will be unlocked after local scheduled downtime.
With a barrage of interesting topics rallying on social media, players spilled their frustrations and experiences regarding this. One of them, @DARK FANTASY, made the comment, “Mad cuz bad, My duo straight d3 to gold one and back ranked up to diamond. Super easy to carry in gold.” Among other things, it talks about the equanimity shared by every frantically competitive player on the way up-the-ranks.
@SPR βετα𓆰𓆪, however, gives us probably the most hilarious view: “At the end of the day, it’s still just Valorant. Play to have fun and don’t stress it, especially if you’re studying.” The catchy phonetics of this phrase would truly resonate with any gamer who struggles to squash his academics with keeping the gaming candle aflame alongside.
There were not all praises for the comments. @Aliiizo blasted the whole of the game mechanism with the statement, “Get rid of the stupid kingdom credits and have the XP progress go towards unlocking their contract rewards as well.” Such a comment made way for highlighting the ongoing discussion that players are having about the game’s progression system and monetization schemes.
Caught up in the fun, @michal4302 came up with gibberish: “Can you unban for me on my main a few days early for good behavior, thanks!” And everything painted about the camaraderie that exists in the community despite all reproaches became depicted.
This also stirred up conversations about the timing of game updates and when these are rolled out in the regions. @ImSoApathetic made a statement of their own on what these updates felt like to him: “I was playing Valorant for a few hours leading up to 5 PM because I wanted to buy the agent. 5 PM came, and nothing was updated.” This adds to the building anticipation of what the players feel for new content and the occasional disappointment caused when it turns out otherwise.
Thus the uproar in the community over the unavailability of Waylay titles this testament of passion and investment that players can put into their game-Valorant. Ranking systems, game mechanics, or just experiences discussed, everything only adds up as an indication that there indeed exists a vibrant crowd revolving around the game. Such aspects are even more visible as players wait for future updates and modifications. For now, what is certain, however, is that excitement continues to thrive in-and-about Valorant and its characters even amid confusion.
Waylay’s bringing and ideas add above probably a new character but also give fire in an active debate between players. The mixture of frustration, humor, and camaraderie stands for what the community will be in time to come. As players post their paths through the muddy waters of the rank and character unavailability, they remain joined by their love for the game and the experience that brings all together.
