Yeah, from the leaks I've seen 5.2 is mostly just us going around with Iansan to check in on the tribes we haven't seen yet. Not sure if we get our ancient name this patch or if that's in 5.3

Went and did the Genshin event instead, very pleased my autistic radish daughter finally got her birthday parade.
 
There's a Jiyan banner in WuWa currently that completely flew over my fat head since I've been taking a break from that game. Well guess I have to grind some pulls there too although I'm not gonna go as hard as I did with Dragon Heng.

Shouldn't be as difficult either since I did a good number of pulls for Shorekeeper, didn't get her and pity transfers between banners.

If I lose the 50/50 I'll just wait for a rerun. But the last time where I said I would lose, I lost so in order not to jinx it, I'll say I'm going to get lucky and win I guess 🤷‍♂️

Edit: got properly introduced to Abby in the story, currently sitting through its (her? His) quest and I want to strangle the little shit. What an anticlimactic end to a cool boss fight.

Guess I'll do to them like I do to Paimon. Be an Asshole as much as possible.

WuWa put out a blog post detailing some of the QoL and gameplay changes coming in 1.4. New cool mechanics aside, they're throwing in a weapon transmog system. Something that I fully believe way more games need. Sometimes the cool weapon has shit stats while the weapon with good stats looks like shit.

when I read the part about the dream link I immediately thought someone at kuro really liked granblue relink (it probably wasn't the first, but that's the most recent I remember)

if they add the callouts I'm gonna lose my shit

Lost my weapon 50/50 for Nahida's weapon and got a second Staff of Homa.

If it's any consolation, Nahida's weapon isn't a massive upgrade for her and she can run most of the 4* EM catalysts no problem. It mostly just helps her personal damage. Staff of Homa is a much better pull unless you're trying to min/max your radish and playing her on-field.
 
Gave Star Rail another shot after some months of inactivity and the power gap is insane, my decent teams from a couple of patches ago are now considered either off meta or barely usable, they push another archetype extremely hard very often. Don't think I'll stick around this time either, the powercreep is ridiculous.
Ignoring Neuvillette who should have had a cap on his turn speed from day 1 like Sigewinne, Genshin characters are far more balanced, I think having an elemental system instead of pure number scaling autism helps with that, there's just more flexibility.

I lost my 50/50 to Calcharo on Jiyan's first run, but ended up getting him later.

You lucky bastard.

Thankfully WuWa does not have they many characters, so reruns are probably more frequent.

Not like Genshin. Rip Wriothesley, the character that got me into Genshin and I can't even get him.

Ain't it great pulling for a character, realizing he requires his C1 but he hasn't gotten a rerun since so you're stuck with a neutered version that doesn't really work?

That might actually be worse. Genshin should really add more five stars to the standard wish banner. It's unreal how many characters they've neglected.

HSR have that same issue so nothing is stopping them from adding a new character that didn't sell well like Boothil or something
Which would be great because I like Boothil.

Speaking of HSR, I logged in briefly because I have the Express Pass and I happened to have this weird conversation over text with Moze, the last four star they added.

The highlights are bizarre. But amusing. If not slightly weird because everyone in this game have a mobile phone even when it seriously does not fit them.

Why is Xueyi the undead automaton whose job is to be a prison guard in the forever prison fucking around on a mobile phone? Why is Moze, the quiet assassin hitting me up about where I'm going?

Why can I send cake cat pictures to Blade of all people? The interactions are amusing but they clash horribly.

I think that bizarre detail adds to the entertainment value.

In current year Scarlet Sands is a better generic stat stick polearm, unless you're running Hu Tao or something out there like DPS plunge Candace, HP is a dump stat and EM benefits reaction damage more than HP%. You are tied to Bennett's fat ATK buffing ballsack though, because that weapon has low base ATK, hope Mavuika or Pyro Traveller gives us some options.

Yeah, powercreep in Star Rail is pretty absurd, especially sustain units. I got Luocha and fu xuan at release and both feel terrible now. Luocha is just a heal bot and not even a great one and fu xuan straight up can't keep up with modern bosses who have a fuckton of dmg+cc+dots.

People underestimated Lingsha cause galagher is a 4* but her kit is super overloaded (heals on skill+followup+ult) and is effectively an erudition dps that can also double as break dps with two AoE cleanses per cycle.

Genshin has some outliers like dehya/sigewine and neuvilete but the units people call thrash like Dori are still viable (i use her unironicaly). The theater also gives you a reason to train and use those forgotten units. This theater i used Diluc and Yanfei and both cleared fine (yanfei was actually holding a level 20 ttds and i didnt notice, she still killed the water animals).

This made me really dislike the honkai endgame, i haven't even done all 3 of them yet and i'm not sure i'll bother, it's just so boring and pointless and they will increase enemy hp% AGAIN next patch. At least the current Rappa event was pretty nice, the rythm minigames were fun and the overall event was very short, which is a blessing after the slow torture that was Luca's event.

I do believe when they announced free 5-star, they implied it would be a yearly thing from now on, and they will expand the selection next time.

If they don't add Chasca and leaks are to be believed with the 5.3 double 5* patch, I guess it will be Citlali as the standard.
