Yeah, it's so Sony gets their cut. If you started on PC then moved to PS then there's no issue. You can submit a ticket to Mihoyo to have your account unlinked from PSN to remove the restriction, but there's a bunch of hoops to jump through.
 
I was informed in another thread that WuWa discussion can also fit into here. Picked up the game a week ago on a whim and just arrived on the Black Shores today, been having a lot of fun doing zone exploration completion as I progress through the story, it's an excellent time waster. That being said, the game still hasn't answered the question of who is Wu and who is Wa.

Fucked up honestly.
 
and knowing Sony I could genuinely believe that this is Sony not wanting to lose any potential revenue from their 30% cut, but this shit's hilarious.
it is, those turbofag sony antics came to light during the epic/apple trial.

just arrived on the Black Shores today
absolute kino, and even 2.2 only comes very close in some aspects.

the game still hasn't answered the question of who is Wu and who is Wa.

Go for Shorekeeper. Best support.

speaking of, wait for the anniversary stream on the 19th. there's rumors we might get a free 1.x selector (take it with a grain of salt tho). banner ends right before steam launch, having to wait a full rerun-cycle could be annoying for new players, which might be an argument for it.

Varesa's quest ends with her banner in 4 days and some people hate it cause its apparently her eating stuff and being insecure. It should require the first and second tribe quests tho.
fuck those faggots, her being super strong but insecure and just wants to chill with her tribe (and eat) is peak waifu design, also none of that OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING/FATUI SHENANIGANS #2943 this time - although the "villain" was too much asian humor for my taste. the "varesa"-tier of the challenge made me chuckle tho. and her saving the day having an endless stomach instead of being super strong was a nice touch.

as for the event quest, hoyo really needs to reign it in, the quest should've ended right after final cutscene, with the inn etc. being optional instead of "oh btw there's more busywork after the climax of the story". also fuck that limited runtime, there's literally no reason having it run longer.

Did not see this but apparently WuWa stealth censored Cantarella underwear and camel toe
apparently the rating has gone down to 12 again. also ever doubting solon

I don't wanna get my hopes up but I'm getting my hopes up for Jiyan.

Since I've dropped WuWa, this might get me hyped before Zani banner. I gotta use that guarantee somehow since I'm skipping Skipkeeper.

Anyway absolutely fuck all luck in any pulls whatsoever. Played part of the story chapter in HSR. I think I gotta agree with @Daddy's Little Kitten

This feels insanely long.

Also probably unpopular opinion but I wish they'd stop with the POV changes. They could just have those moments be cutscenes.

Actually what do people here think of the story?
 
Haven't bothered starting it as I'm waiting for the EN VA shit to be resolved, I live in blissful ignorance.
Jap master race, brother.
I don't give a shit anymore. I just want to skip everything.
That was me and a good chunk of Piss on Kony. I'm sorry, I don't like the story at all.

As for what I think of it so far? Erhm it's fine. Anaxas moments are blergh. It's mainly him voicing how much he dislikes Aglaea and having passive-aggressive conversations with the titan inside of him between backstory bits.

The Cas moments are bursting with effort to the point where I feel as if they just half-assed Anaxas in comparison, poor asshole.

But I am not done (How fucking long is this shit?) so maybe they'll pick up pace later. And maybe cool it with the POV changes.
 
The tribe nine character buffs were revealed to be extremely minor and what i assume are meant to be AI improvements. These 2 characters had terrible slow attacks with zero reason to use them, so the devs buffed a bit so they're not troll attacks and you can dodge cancel from them now. They're still unoptimal attacks but the AI can use them without dying now. A third character only got ai changes.

Kinda underwhelming but probably better for now, the worst units are still viable but could use a little fixes. Its just the top tiers have some broken OP ultimates like the devs barely tested them. Either way the game isn't "competitive" anymore because they pretty much removed the hardest super bosses into completely optional content with no reward besides a medal.

This kinda murders the original "brutalness" the game originally marketed itself and will upset the more hardcore players but tbh, i'm mostly for the story and vibes with fun combat so not having a crippling stressful endgame is GOOD.

Devs are selling skins for money (pallete swaps still obtainable from boxes) and shitty bundles so they can make money and god, i hope they do. They're also giving +10 rolls over the week for logging and +10 as thanks for steam reviews becoming very positive and i hope this gets more people in the game.

btw genshin beta v4 released with no changes and its hitting people that Ifa will likely be the worst unit in natlan and potentially one of the worsts in the game.

(They nerfed the damage from his C6 too, as if his damage wasn't already shit)

I lost one of the event bows cause i took a break and didn't realize that event only lasted literally 10 days from the start of the patch. It's like they do it out of spite.

Also probably unpopular opinion but I wish they'd stop with the POV changes. They could just have those moments be cutscenes.

I'm not sure it's that unpopular anymore, it was cute the first time to see what dan heng was doing in luofu but it was already bad by aventurine, raiden and robin/sunday spamming flashbacks. I can't imagine if it got worse in the new planet.

I think I will have gone all of 5.x without pulling for any banner that isn't a rerun of a good character I missed. Great job devs, keep up the good work.
 
Take this drama for "fun".
A group of "Hoyoshill" chinks/Xianjia army (moonrunes) allegedly creates multiple accounts to create a harass campaign not only to cause recent WuWa censorship, but also other gacha like Arknights,
The moonrunes post also mentions this group have doxed and harassed (phones and malicious reports) other people before. China news (chink moonrunes), really long article, but I'll screencap few things. Xianzhou Alliance - totally a new and unique name group.
Whatever MTL, "open box" is doxing.

Where you at?
Just defeated the Netherwing. That sure threw my ass for a loop.

Can't quote you @LucasSomething but mainly in this chapter it's constantly bouncing between Cas and Anaxa and it feels excessive tho nowhere near the amount of Penacony. It's apt you mention Aventurine because I feel as if MHY also tried super hard to push Cas as they did him.

I'm glad to know it's no longer an unpopular opinion because I'm getting a bit sick of it, especially since Anaxas part is just him running around all over the place.

And plenty of flashbacks.

My god.

Also lol at Ifa. Are they just doing this out of spite now? Or is Le racism according to Twitter?

Man Natlan really has been...an experience, hasn't it?

Arknights
Isn't Arknights one of the least fanservice gachas out there? I don't play it but I wonder what people would want censored there.

Then again these people sound absolutely unhinged so I don't expect logic here.

Not for messing with WuWa content, but harassing Arknights players. Four people were arrested for committing cyber crimes.

Funny, when googling this Xianjianjun group, comes to S.Korea website with an English post accusing MHY acknowledgement to the group in HSR (2023). Read it for fun. Up to anyone thinking whether MHY secretly like and even backing this group, since this is quite conspiracy post.

I don't think it's matter much for now. Wait til Cartethyia/Fleurdelys being playable or in beta-testing.

I think Ifa got fucked because his kit is JUST Mizuki (on field vv enabler EM scaling healer) and mizuki is hot garbage meaning ifa has to be even worse since he's a 4*. He feels like a waste of a natlan slot since he doesnt want the nightsoul sets.

My other theory is that Ifa being a "4 star that can FLY" means Hoyo already thinks he's too valuable as an exploration unit and doesn't need to be viable for combat, even tho his flight is worse than casca and worser outside natlan. His passive auto heals the dinos you control so just having him there helps.

I think I will have gone all of 5.x without pulling for any banner that isn't a rerun of a good character I missed. Great job devs, keep up the good work.
He gets better with C6 that gives him 50% chance of an extra shot+heal but alas, that's c6 and he's still barely keeps up on a god build.

In fact, they actually nerfed his c6 damage from "extra shot does triple damage" to "extra shot does 120% attack hit". Ifa has one of the lowest attacks in the game (178.) He was already weak af and hoyo still decided to nerf his personal damage.

and for some interesting trivia, someone looked at the gender ratio of follower in the official chinese gacha tiktok accounts nad made a comparison
