The developers finally reversed the Moon King speed nerf. It took a long time to get them to listen but we finally have our movement back. Keep an eye on the patch notes because we need to make sure this stays effective.

Moon king used to be a movement speed buff that granted a speed bonus of fifty for three minutes. However, this has now been nerfed to a speed bonus of 20 for a single minute. While in the past, one could say that moon king was rather over powered due to the fact that players could get incredible amounts of speed by combining this buff with rapid storm, there is now a speed cap, which renders this point in valid.
When players are not able to use moon king, they are snowballed very easily after death, as they must wait for rapid storm to cool down in the scenario that they used a regular revive. Players who find themselves in such a situation will often die repeatedly, because they are unable to get away from the monsters that killed them with base speed. Furthermore, since all of their skills are on cool down, they are unable to retaliate. All they can do is pray that they are able to guard successfully, which is often difficult due to ping related issues. Japanese players in such a situation would be able to use the moon king alcohol to escape, as they would gain enough speed to out run the monsters that are after them. Unfortunately, on the American server, we do not have such an option, which leads to many player's being frustrated, and forcing them to party up so that they can find someone to provide them with speed buffs. The issue here is that, this does not encourage party play; it forces it. It's almost impossible to solo, as once you die without a speed buff, you're completely screwed.
Finally, moon king is a noob-friendly alcohol. It encourages many newer players to stick around as they are able to obtain a movement speed buff without buying an ougi. This makes the game seem much less pay to win, which is very encouraging for lower leveled and more casual players. This is especially appealing to players who do not want to deal with the frustration known as walking across Sekiagahara. While it's true that rift portals offer some degree of convenience, many lowered leveled players would not be aware of how they should use these portals. However, something like moon king would most likely spread via word of mouth - just like it had during this game's testing phases.
Players simply get snowballed too hard without moon king, and speed is now capped in the first place, nullifying any reason to have moon king changed to its current state. Restoring this alcohol would even assist with player retention. Based on the reasons above, we believe that moon king should be re-instated as a 3 minute buff that increases movement speed by 50.
Sincerely,
The undersigned.

The grind to get anyone to listen to us has been exhausting but the stories in the comments prove that dying over and over again is not just in my head. Dealing with these movement nerfs while navigating the limitations of the current server is wearing me down. I am not stopping yet because we deserve better than being forced into party play just to survive a respawn.

I agree with the the Petition because its slow enough with just the staff Rapid Storm skill bringing back the unnerfed Moon King would make getting around in Onigiri much less of a boor.
When I'm carrying Ginza Sewer Management, my support is dead, and I have no time to resurrect them or cast Rapid Storm myself cuz I got a big ugly spider on my ass.... un-nerf Moon King sake already Cyberstep, all the nerfs are unfair to the players.
I agree, nerfing Moon King hurt badly, and it'd be nice if it was reversed back to what it used to be.
I agree 100% with this. Some players are extremely unlucky with gatcha tickets and often obtain items that are completely useless to them, with said tickets being used to roll the Nyankoropon. That being said, not everyone can spend the necessary money to buy dozens of Nyanko spins, therefore rendering the game pretty much unbeatable for them since they don't have all the ougis and higher ranked normal skills to be able to solo Edo and above, even on Normal difficulty.
It seems effective to cooperate in these kind of petition because the 5k dura petition was implemented.

Yes, I also agree with this player, some players just have weird luck when it comes to Gacha, so instead of spamming ocs with money, people can just buy moon king from Ibaraki Douji
