It sounds like hoyo really wants me to play star rail again. This sucks too cause i was expecting to waste a lot more so i could potentially hit 200 for Archer's cone, now i don't know what to roll. Maybe firefly E1 or blade's light cone?
The weapon skins are still whale bait for those who care but you now have like, an actual reason to play coop at high level, either you're poor or whale.
except co-op scales up, I've seen all the way back in 1.x how this goes. diluc_gaming gets oneshotted, the whaled ganyu that has only autoattacked so far starts blaming the barbara for not healing enough (because that's apparently works with a single hit going 100%->0), before leaving and having to re-queue all over again.
the simple content trinity works like the work pyramid (quality, speed, cheap) where you can only ever get two: time, challenge, reward. either it's high challenge, high reward or takes time and reward is low. a long, hard challenge isn't rewarding.
Not on stygian onslaught it doesn't. That's why it makes no sense to me, it feels like the HP and mechanics is balanced around coop but they don't want you to play it seriously ever. Tulpa for example would be less frustrating to fight on coop as the cryo player could deal after the half-tulpas without ruining your whole flow.
Bad players will always exist but being world level 9 and matchmaking difficulty 5 should on paper (big paper here) filter the majority. You only need to clear it once per patch too.
Man I gotta have the worst builds imaginable or something because corruption level 2 in that Fate simulated universe thingy is kicking my royal fat ass.
And just like Divergent Universe, I am always one short of the final blessing before I unlock full potential because fuck me sideways with a rusty chainsaw.
And no luck in pulls but at least, I got enough shit in the BP to get a pseudo light-cone for Phainon while I get gray hair from trying to get his actual light cone.
I wanted Tribbie too but fuck it, we'll wait for rerun the second.
I stopped playing the persona 5 gacha but i'm doing quick dailies when i have time, ifound out recently there was a lot of drama with the devs suddendly revealing the Global version will SPEED UP patches in order to catch up with china and they're also nerfing all rewards extremely (an update was supposed to give 600 gems, it gives 100 in global) and even a free unit won't be free anymore.
BTW The new Genshin event is interesting. It being mandatory coop with 3 arenas focused on doing a single reaction, set your teams before starting and having unique matchmaking rules where hard mode you only matchup with you people your world level and units have to be at least level 80 is like a roundhouse kick to my face.
It would've been perfect for Stygian onslaught! In fact, it sounds way more fitting there than this random event, why is it not there? Why?
And in some note, fuck skirk players. I'm doing easy mode for fun and (outside freeze) the 3 times a skirk player joins they're either thrash or refuse to swap.
This match had 2 wanting to play skirk and the one who played was holding 3* harbinger of dawn.
Co-Op is the worst part of Genshin, because it relies on Rando’s to not be fuckwits
And technically yes, you can dodge - when you start to Run, you have a very minor i-frame. It’s mostly a matter of timing, but you can tap the Run button as a way to Dodge.
Same. I had to set Genshin's world join request thingy to automatic decline because I don't want to get hassled by 27 dick twigs wanting to do random co-op while I'm farming mats or something.
And some of those fuckers are persistent. They will send requests over and over. No means no, asshole.
Also I heard that appearently, you cannot change character in coop. So if you got a team of John Lee, Nahida, Clorinde and Furina and you were currently playing as Nahida, you're now stuck as her until co-op ends.
Maybe they changed this, but I don't care enough to check it out.
I only do trounce domains in co-op for laughs, and yeah most of the Skirk players are shit and die immediately to the dumbest shit. Shout out to that random Dori player who fucking annihilated the pyro dragon boss a few weeks ago.
Actually yes, you definitely could change. At least around the time I stopped doing co-op. Can't be bothered to check If they suddenly changed it though.
To this day I'm still waiting for them to fix the thing where doing co-op for the events resets my "Reject join request" settings. How hard could it possibly be to keep that setting locked?
If you have a 5 star character, using their burst gives you invincibility while the animation plays. Might not be a true dodge but it helps if you're trying not to constantly run in order to save stamina. A lot of 4 star burst animations do that too I believe.
Every character can I-frame with dash AFAIK. Other characters have I-frames variously on the normal, charged, skill, or burst attacks. It just depends on the unit. Most (if not all) characters have I-frames on bursts, 4* and 5*s included. Skills tend to be the same way.
As you get to learning what characters you like & want to play, you should watch guides and/or do some experimenting on your own to figure out who has I-frames on certain parts of their kit and for how long, as well as when best to execute them against enemies. It's especially important if you don't use a shielder or healer in your teams (although you generally should anyway because there's only so many I-frames to go around) or if you use a DPS that hogs a lot of field time and doesn't have interruption resistance baked into their kit (e.g. pre-C1 Arlecchino/Neuvillette).
(the buff doesn't even apply to the picker btw so this is 2 layers of wrong)
(mavuika in the burning comp killed us)
>energy recharge on skirk
Nice of escoffier to pick that healer bonus
I thought hard mode matchmaking would help but it simply does not. People on AR60 and world level 9 are going yolo whatever and not reading. Guaranteed, most probably don't give a fuck anyway since it's just a forced coop event and i don't blame them tbh.
I like co-op on theory (emphasis theory) but it's currently something you have to go out your way to enjoy and not something that is inherently good or fun to play. And i'll actually deflect some blame here because the current event is frustrating as fuck by design.
"Plunge via wind current to break shield", kill 4 hilichurs at the corner of arena before beating the elite four times, stay inside this tiny circle while 12 archers snipe you and shit the triple wayob room, etc. feels fucking unwinable. You have to not only play one specific comp but have a god tier team AND very high teamwork.
It's like hoyo specifically wanted to make the most tilting challenges possibles. There has to be a middle ground somewhere between mindless mashing and needing a war-game strategy meeting.
It's honkai 3 double dodge with stamina bar. You have a dash dodge with light invincibility frames and you can dodge twice in a row before a very short cooldown. If you hold the button you sprint like zelda botw. They all cost some stamina.
This isn't like most action games (or ZZZ?) where you just time it right and it counts as full dodge. Enemies hitboxes will linger and can catch you after the dodge is over, but you do move a good distance so you must reposition out of the enemies attack while dodging, usually moving around the enemy.
If you get launched you can dash before hitting the ground to stand up faster. Bursts (ultimates) are invincible too. It's not really super dodge centric but you have to put some effort timing and repositioning depending on the enemy.
I'm guessing she's dedicated support for Shorekeeper-I mean Phainon-I mean Phaenomena. Phainomena!
Anyway she's phase 2 of the upcoming patch.
Edit: the general lack of unpolish in black Angus beef bacon is generally astounding. I guess money is tight and resources are scarce because Phainomena does not have a JP voice - like Yuli. Appearantly her English voicelines aren't complete either because some users report she switches to Chinese when she dies.
Plus the amount of moon runes is actually baffling. According to people on reddit, the story suffers from shit localization
This was an issue last patch too. End game content suffering zero translation. Plus the events and even stuff in the menu.

I don't predict these things well but I wonder if this is a sign of EOS on the horizon.
Also the latest main story chapter is unvoiced. Even in English. That's not good. Granted it's an expansion chapter but still.
Was doing farming for Ayaka because her artifacts were bad. Still not good, but better. And forgot that hyperbloom can do some damage without a dedicated dd.
Ended up with this
Did all first try, but shit was tight. Won't even be trying higher difficulties. In conclusion, whale territory starts a bit early in this to my taste.
By the way, same Ayaka team failed to take down that seahorse in the recent abyss fast enough for three stars. Even few times I've knocked it down before it managed to run up at low shields didn't cut it. Kinda unexpected, since I didn't have trouble with anything else on the floor.
it's also in line with how Asmoday looks so there's no surprises there
