Girls Frontline 2 has hit a shitshow with Skin Gatcha with a 100 hard pity and no guarantee. F2P have to hold out for a year to almost get enough Passes. They also released gift boxes that give 90 pulls for $110. Add in the fact the boss fights for events just spin in place instead of moving and are all recycled content means I'm jumping ship before sunk cost factors in.
I read somewhere that the skins themselves have several pieces to them, meaning you need to pull on the banner multiple times to get one skin.

Also, you can pull dupes.

I have not seen such lunacy.
 
If genshin wanted they could have no stamina consumption out of combat, it would be easy as there is already no party change out of combat, but they won't because Genshin always used exploration potential as a way to sell units. Which is kinda funny cause i think they're the only ones? Sure you can look online but for casual players having someone who can ignore stamina is nice. Note how every nation starts with a unit made to explore early on, usually having a power that lets you get around puzzles, move better or find pickable stuff.

I played the event story and it was nice, bennet's arc is officially over and i wonder what they'll do with him now cause the bad luck thing isn't funny anymore. Explored the island enough to get +80% and it was ok, i thought it would be much larger due to how long the story took.

Also found the local legend cactus at random and man, people have not grasped yet how annoying this boss is and how it will filter people without ineffa. It will constantly disguise as 3 hats and spend 10 seconds shuffling, then you must find the right one and apply a TON of EC to break the shield or else you die, and this takes near 20 seconds. I'm trying to get ineffa but if i don't i'll skip flins too and ignore lunar charge.

I also found some drunk enemies who were passive so i walk pushed and drowned them. That felt nice :)

I'm still baffled that they made the Natlan characters are bad for exploration as they have. Once we leave Natlan, 100% of them are fucking awful at exploration because there is no gas. Every single one of them, their exploration kit lasts for such a short time or cost so much stamina that they aren't worth it. And Natlan won't get new characters, because how are they going to sell you a character that doesn't work anymore?

I forgive all of the sins committed by Inazuma, Natlan is just awful.

Natlan honestly feels like its story and character designs were given like, 4 revisions, and nothing was actually locked in until maybe 6 Months before Natlan was to go live and they just had to work with what they had.

The only character that really works outside of Natlan is what, Xilonen? And that's largely because her Travel mechanic is maybe the fourth most important part of her kit at best?

1-So they can sell newer unit with better exploration abilities that only work on the new nation. They will only release a new natlan 5* when a new natlan island comes.

2-So you want to buy their C1 that reduces gas consumption OUTSIDE of combat (Kinich's gives 6s of +30 spd lol). Mavuika's c1 is just raw +50% nightsoul that is great for combat and varesa c1 allegedly gives much longer uptime if you minmax roll jumps.

Chasca is fine because she FLIES. Not forever sure but slightly better than wanderer and that's useful on any map. Mavuika can fly a decent distance too but it's hard to control and her climb is ultra jank and gets stuck on everything (i genuinely don't know how Hoyo released it like this, it has to be the most unpolished thing in the game).

Xilonen is the easiest to slot outside natlan (being a top support helps). Climbing is usually the most annoying part and she should be enough for most things outside natlan. She can also ground skate a decent distance to save you stamina.

I'd say citlali and ororon are the biggest losers outside of natlan. High jump consumes so much stamina it ends being a time loss and it's the same height as any vertical skill (keqing, kazuha, zhongli, etc). Citlali loses the slow fall and charge atk float too. I avoid exploring with citlali cause every time i see the cost it feels bad.

*Sigh* Local legends used to be a nice challenge that could be cleared if you had a strategy and well-built characters that could form a good team. Now they're a check for the suckers who didn't drop their primos into the latest character. At this point it's fascinating how Hoyo keeps fucking up the last good things the game has going for it.

Edit: Just started the Bennett quest and I find it funny that it's been out for days and they haven't fixed the spelling mistake(s). Even if it's minor, small oversights like this tend to bug me personally.

I can feel that, bro. *sigh*

Well, that sucks. I liked the first Girls Frontline enough that I gave the 2 a chance, only to be turned off by how fucking stingy they are with their pull material. I was about to consider giving it another chance, and then I read this.

Also i meant filter more in general because ineffa is the only true electrocharge dps and i refuse to believe anyone actually played EC seriously before her. She has electro shield (same type as cactus dmg) and lunar charge might stun the cactus faster (i cant find proof on this).

I did beat it but i had to use Clorinde/kuki/xilonen/zhongli (lol) and clorinde literally died 2 or 3 times while and i waited the food cooldown (shielded xilonen had to tank the wipeout atk). Local legends were excusable cause they were optional, let you use food and there was no time limit. Now they're the time attack endgame tailor made to be countered by the banner unit.

The event also had a few typos in portuguese and got my female traveler pronouns wrongs like 3 times.
 
Oh my wow, yeah, I can see it.

Coldsteel the Marchhog.

Cold March the spring flu Hedgehog

Also, random thought, but is Remembrance just a girls-only club? Sure, there's TB, but you're fucked if you picked the tits.
Some vampire Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way type shit, and this is how they finally answer the name of "Who is March 7th?".
 
Also speaking of dying games.

Etheria is actually getting worse. Reused events (events were not good. It was basically just RNG slot machines), no balancing, new characters are constantly dropped with zero reason to care, story mode is dead, still nothing to do but grind, economy is fucked, the latest hyped character is actually garbage, devs do not in fact listen.
Knew something like this would have happen, people would be like "it's gonna be a Star rail killer" yea because making a PVP focused game would be a great idea.

Finally got around to building Citlali and Escoffier, throwing them together with Ganyu and Furina is great, shit just gets deleted in the overworld.
