I guess this will give MHY more motivation to do more of those godforsaken shitty-ass quadruple banners because fuck you, you're not a whale.

Let's have the chronicled wish, with its own pity system separate from the limited banners, also run concurrently with those banners because fuck you if you wanted Ganyu and Arle.

ZZZ has been merciful in comparison, even making Myabi's banner extra long. I'm just sort of waiting for that game to get fucked too.
 
I don't play ZZZ but wasn't miyabi alreaady the first taste of hard powercreep? Just looking at her animations it's like she's a modern modern Honkai Impact 3 character. Everything has built in dodge/invincibility, gigantic aoe, massive damage and some crowd control for no reason.

Altho i read people say "she is strong in lore so powercreep makes sense" and i'm not sure if that phrase will age well lol.

I'm not sure if that phrase makes any sense from a game design point of view.

By that logic, Ellen should be insane too. Same with Jane and Ceasar. And AFAIK they aren't bad units at all.

But you are right, Myabi is absolutely ridiculous compared to everyone else up until that point. Imagine if they did that again and it just broke the game like someone stepped on a biscuit.

I agree it doesn't but it makes some sense within hoyo's history, especially with honkai impact. The hershers are godlike powerful they get new stronger forms and weapons so there is in-universe powercreep that ironically matches the ingame powercreep. They're clearly made to be new meta shaping units.

Other hoyo games clearly take some cues from this. Some characters like Acheron get significant powerlevel shilling that is designed to translate into gameplay, like Acheron, Neuvilete and Miyabi. This means the fanbase keeps enabling it because "it's the archon, it's the emanator, it's the void hunter yadayada".

The problem is that its still a retarded mentality and game design regardless, but worse outside HI3 because the lore freaks get powercrept anyway. This leads to bizarre shit like kung fu march 7 and memeblazer being stronger than Welt who can make black holes and was confident he could take down Acheron (which people still meme to this day).

I've said few times before about powercreep and also MHY as baby first gacha experience. Fandom latches Miyabi - a void hunter being equivalent to Genshin Archons tier.
Repeating few points:
1) Miyabi patch is the soft-relaunch of the game, lots of free premium currency to rolls and free 5* Haramusa.
2) She is the designate maximum shilling character for entire 1.x patch. So the newer 5* DPS are a bit more tone down (multiplier, mechanics and i-frames) rather intentionally game-breaking.
3) Considering with current two end-game game modes. People are required to roll multiple DPS characters anyway, more so for Anomaly team comp. Since anomaly team relies on disorder, two anomaly DPS are needed. Miyabi herself is broken enough can be hyper-carry with her signature.
Not exactly defending powercreep, but I've post few times with my results on endgame without Miyabi enough to collect all premium rolls.

At least, imo ZZZ current character balance - powercreep wise is more similar to Genshin.

I don't have Roccia. I skipped that brat hard for Brant.

at first the same for me, but the gameplay and main story convinced me. her inventory animations are also qt314, and I was pretty sure kuro's gonna make it a soft-requirement during events and TOA.

roccia + cammy are peak suck & spin.

I might get the brat when she reruns and there's not someone I want more on the horizon. Like Jiyan.

Cantarella is still a hard no.

Anyway logged into HSR today, 60 pity and hit 80 I think and would you look at that.

I wanna try getting his light cone too but I will have to run double duty come the next patch maybe. Rumors talk about a Ratio rerun and a Jiaoqiu rerun but there's also talk of Seele.

Mydei is alright in my terrible opinion. He's Blade on steroids. No autobattle thankfully but he does consume his own hp for power and needs a healer - even if he heals himself when he does his ultimate. A sustain is needed too to make him more of a tank.

I think I'm gonna try to get little fox child after all, if only because my only competent healer is Gallagher and I need options.
 
Miyabi is really strong, but the end lag from her attacks is insane, which can get her killed. The worst is her chain attack which doesn't interrupt enemies for its whole duration.
 
Mydei wants a strong healer, and so does Castorice, although I think her values were changed during beta so she doesn't suck that much HP now. I used Luocha with both and he performed fine.

Mydei supports are limited due to his attack scaling off HP. Tribbie, RMC, Bronya/Sunday/Sparkle are probably the top options. I guess someone else that increases damage, crit rate/damage, or speed can work as well. You obviously don't want a shielder.

There are leaks/rumours of an incoming rememberance healer that will heal a fuckton and convert lost hp into true damage + heal, making them castorice and mydei's best in slot. It's probably an "educated guess" but i believe it. We're getting two units in a row that kill themselves so a healer with this gimmick makes sense.

There is also a new boss in 3.2 that will drop your whole team hp to 1 and get DR until you're healed, which sounds tailor made for a future healer.
 
In Genshin could never, a comparison between NPCs in Fontaine and Rinascita:


Another thing I've noticed, and this is very prevalent in HSR and ZZZ (I don't play Genshin, so I have no idea if this happens as well), you phase through a bunch of NPCs. In WuWa, most NPCs react if you bump into them and you can't phase through.
 
Beside bumping into NPCs, both games have NPCs getting scared if players accidentally hit/attack them.
For Genshin, some range catalyst (WuWa's rectifier equivalent) characters can get clapping reaction from NPCs if players choose to do basic attack animation nearby. Melee catalyst users like Baizhu and Heizou don't get reaction if I remember correctly.
Yaoyao is a special case, she's a spear user, but she gets clapping reaction from NPCs if she throws her rabbit (Elemental skill) nearby. Not sure if other characters I forget being same as Yaoyao.
About music and dancing, Genshin tries with Natlan, Children of Echoes have DJ dancing stage. People of the Springs also have one music band.

Still, WuWa has day night cycles NPCs appearance in town.

Don't be me leveling up Lingyang for "fun". It's not just damage number problem he has. It's his entire kit and even echo set being not up to par for current game. Single target, no AOE - super short melee range - super short damage mode duration - too many moves put his entire body in harm and can't be canceled out easily. Even in damage mode, the supposedly in the air state, still can be hit by ground enemy attack.
I'm slowly working on Xiangli Yao in the mean time, maybe Jianxin too for "fun". Also praying rng on Shorekeeper.

Edit: Not sure if anyone has their launcher updated yet. But this update supposedly should let new patch download not being entire game file size anymore.

Well, Shit.

So, couple weeks back, my PSN got hacked, managed to recover it - yeah turns out, whichever fuckwit from Durkadurkastan did it managed to get the entire Ancient Ass Email I used for that. An email which I’ve now lost access to. And said Ancient Ass Email was linked to my Hoyo account, which they’ve now changed the password to.

So yeah, while I play Genshin on my PS5 - what, it’s not like there’s much else to play on the damn thing - and still have access, I’ve now the worry that some fuckwit can unlink my account. Which, while it would suck, would also free me from this particular Gacha Hell, idk if that balances out or not, considering I’ve mostly still been playing this game on sheer routine these last few patches.

Here’s hoping CS gets back to me, but I’m not holding my breath on it.
