Genshin Impact

[Dollar Store Sentai]

1-100 coupons that let you finish material and boss calyx instantly

2-A free full set of relics and ornaments!... That is 4* star lol.

I got a big laugh of the relic set. Granted it's probably along the train of thought of "Here is something to use your shiny new character while you grind out a real set", which is good in theory.

The coupons should be something you can earn in-game, they are hella useful.

I do love the "Spend $300 and get a 5* selection or $800 and get some in-game tat." approach they are taking.

The $5 get 6 pulls and 5 fuel over 5 days deal is actually pretty good bang for your buck, so it managed to suck me in.

 

[Troon Whisperer]

Managed to get Castorice and Jiaoqiu in like 60 pulls so I have been blessed by Mihoyo. Hopefully the extra free pulls will net me their LCs.

 

[DenseDeerFather]

Jesus fuck, that was fucking fast.

Side note, this is not mine. I was abusing the Acheron/Fugue/Jiaoqui/Aventurine Mafia by borrowing the male fox bitch from other players and already two Cas have made it onto the character showcase list.

E2 plus light cone, plus maxed out traces plus maxed out relics with best stats.

My god, the whales are eating good tonight.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Almost hard pity for this. Zani savings begin now.


Huh, look at that. Watch it all go in speed anf flat HP for some reason.

 

[Dollar Store Sentai]

Won my 50/50 and got Castorice. Now to get her LC cause I ain't got shit otherwise.

 

[Kill Your Idols]

I skipped everything in 3.1 for Castorice and her LC and now the pact is sealed. HSR has been going downhill for awhile so I'm just in it for collection at this point.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

This is where my Mihoyo and WuWa luck goes to. 20 pulls, all free.

I will admit the Final Fantasy route that it took did disappoint me even though if I like aspects of it. I miss Sci-fi Shanghai.

rumor has it hualong isn't done and we might go back in 2.x before going to the federation on 3.x. it's only one of 6 cities so there's plenty left.

Agreed. One of the big things keeping me glued to Genshin is that even with all of it's Gacha stuff, it feels like a game first in a lot of regards. It has its problems, but I don't regret sticking with it for as long as I have. At least to me, the cutscene/dialogue length doesn't become a problem until Sumeru. I'd say by Inazuma is when they start introducing a lot more complex or intricate plot points or concepts which isn't always bad!

problem is they couldn't let it stagnate, which is ok, but the direction they're now going is really starting to piss me off. not only you got FOMO shit for doing the content in time, they even extend it to fucking web events now, which don't even line up with the ingame timeframe (not that it ever made any sense since you got like a week longer to do the main story quest than the character story - but you need to do the main story for the character quest! it's like they hired ubisoft designers...).

trying to "force" me to do shit is the easiest way to drop the game when all the possible "fun" gets overshadowed by all the nagging. or like main events only taking two weeks now, ffs I remember when it was a whole fucking patch which is much easier to plan around (fun fact, in wuwa there's hardly any "short" events besides some that require daily attention, but then are quick enough to do).

worst part pretty sure their numbers AND paypiggies have gone down noticeably during natlan, yet they proceed to double down.

Which reminds me;

This is still a thing BTW. And I still can't do it because I'm still not done with Fontaine

 

[LucasSomething]

Tribe nine devs released a road map and dev notes. I feel like tribe nine lack of stamina makes the game progress too fast for this game to have hoyo's 42 day update schedule but man i hope it does well.

I'll say, the game director is waaaay too honest with the fanbase for a gacha game.





Bro it's 1.0 and the game is fairly balanced right now (other than 1 character having bugged ult scaling), you dont need to worry this much this early and already buff units by 1.1, geez you're gonna raise my standards too much.

There was also an interesting interview that gave a lot of insight on the director's vision, especially with him straight up saying there are no plans to make the popular villains playable.

Look at this dude unironically saying artistic integrity is more important than fanservice. I love it but please dont let the game die man, you can be a little greedy...

 

[RIPRhongoBongo]

No Fatutu yet, but I'm almost done with the outfit grind

Edit:
LMAO

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

I got Kakania's outfit yesterday, still debating on whether to get Mercuria's...

Her ult still has the crab hand

 

[Amaranthy]

lost the 50/50 and had to go full pity for castorice, but I got her e1 5 pulls after so there's that

 

[LucasSomething]

I forgot to mention but they made a trailer for the new tribe nine unit aka "giant robo hand maid" BEFORE she released wow! It's like the marketing team woke up because they FORGOT to do that with the first 2 banners! Her animations are a lot more polished than the release units.

And for some random gacha drama: Mr president, a new controversy has hit snowbreak. The developers enforced rules on the moderators of the official snowbreak global discord and those who refused were wiped out and the world "mod" is censored and results in a 24 hour block.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/1jvxdqd/snowbreak_official_discord_demanded_that_mods_put/

These rules include things like

1-Mods would be required to put in 8 hours of mandatory discord moderation per week.
2-Each mod would be required to fulfill a quota of 40 moderator actions per month. This meant warning, muting, baning, etc, 40 times per month.
3-Mods were required to be at least level 80 in the game. (80 is the unit cap so this one hilarious)
4-Mods would be required to make game guides like content creators.
5-The community members in charge of answering gameplay questions, making guides, etc, would be required to take on moderator duties. They resigned because they did not want to be mods. (LOL)
6-Mods used to be paid 3k digicash (gacha currency) per month equivalent to 18.75 pulls. This is also the same amount that the $5 USD monthly pass gave you per month. Seasun wanted to drop it to either 1200 or 1600 digicash if they met their quota, or 800 digicash without the quota.

The theory is that chinese fandom and/or snowbreak wants to purge the global discord, with what appears to be an alt of the NEW snowbreak discord admin shit talking the global discord for the mods being lazy and global fans being against "master love". The only two mods that speak french and spanish were purged.

The discord was apparently not that huge to warrant these changes anyway but people in the comments praise the guide makers and theory crafters there.

I did not see anything in the subreddit so i wonder why...

The only reason i still play snowbreak is cause new units have incredibly different gameplay loops and it takes very little time but i can't and won't deny, the game is currently completely souless. Every recent content is some form of VR simulation, harem fluff, a dream or non-canon because there is no story or conflict anymore, just a wait to see who will the MC marry next.

Seasun (SB devs) are completely spineless and are letting chinese players strongarm them into killing the global fanbase. Watching the tribe nine devs be so nice makes me wonder why i bother. I guess i should uninstall, i don't think i'll miss it.

TL;DR: Can you imagine being a professional discord moderator for 2 gacha dollars? TOTAL JANNY DEATH. It was a massacre!

 

[RIPRhongoBongo]

Missed the Red SSS because I forgot to finish the shield phase


Also lol at Vila doing damage

Edit: got Trigger. Today was a good day overall

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Finally tried this game, story makes zero sense and feels like a sequel. I dicked around collecting fish and fruit for like 10m, it was okay. I don't really see the appeal but it's not bad.

 

[DenseDeerFather]

Well then. Fuck me I guess. I tried to pull C1 flower power BPD whore because skipping Madame Jellyfish came easy and I wanted those second rate currency pulls you get in the shop.

Guess who came and fucking derailed that yet again. Calcharo. Fucking. He's C5 now and I main the guy but could I please get the two last standard banner bitches I'm missing?

I think this game may have put some kind of gyspy curse on me because during the beginner banner, I picked Calcharo as my preferred price and ever since then, every time minus once where I've lost a 50/50 or pulled on standard banner, I've gotten Calcharo most out of everyone.

What the fuck. It ain't all doom and gloom though because Zani guaranteed.

So now I'm 100% done with this patch because fuck Shorekeeper.

 

[Hammr2]

ZZZ 1.7 code MOCKINGBIRD
Phase 1: Vivian - Jane
Phase 2: Hugo = Lighter
New S-rank Bangboo, Robin, only requires one Mocking bird member for additional effect.

Fall Guys bangboo is back, featuring rank for player's "skill-level".
Colour scheme and full outfit, more like combination of Ningguang and Eula. Not sure if there is someone having regrets from Genshin making Ningguang and Eula being such "filler" characters.
Game is way too late with character model. I can't get over with how much noodle arms (tall female) look with entire body proportion. Oh well, it's not like this is a billions dollar worth company.


I hate this Shiyu Defense rotation, using twin corrupted Anby clones are soooooooooo fuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Having loads of health and bunch of teleporting attacks while also invincible are real niiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccceeee. Can't even properly grouping them up either.

"giant robo hand maid"

I'm actually more enticed with comically giant gauntlets. Others are bonuses.

story's gonna grow on you over time. otherwise just treat it as a f2p BOTW with a new waifu every few weeks. there's also wuwa which might work for you better (beginning is more loredump in comparison tho). HSR if you prefer 4 waifus in a row or whatever ZZZ is these days. can't say much about the others.

This is still a thing BTW. And I still can't do it because I'm still not done with Fontaine

that's just an annoying reminder, the whole DO IT IN TWO WEEKS OR MISS OUT ON PRIMOS AND SHIT THAT COSTS RESIN is much worse.

Look at this dude unironically saying artistic integrity is more important than fanservice. I love it but please dont let the game die man, you can be a little greedy...

in my experience over the years sadly most players are retarded and want to be ripped off. even if you got a few "you know, that's pretty based, I'm gonna spend money I wouldn't otherwise" it's small compared to all the weakminded gimps opening their wallet because zero impulse control or forsight.
