yeah hoyo doesn't hold back on designs just because they're NPCs
they cook everywhere
also fuck off discord send my goddamn messages without me resending like 5 times
runic ether
its newer for them
in genshin, few npcs get unique designs
my goat, liben, who is currently running an event like the one sjall runs where u turn in random shit for primos, has a very unique npc design but past that, not many in genshin (at least before)
rapid bough
speaking of sjall, isn't this the first patch where she didn't get a hair color change lol

Admitively not a big fan of heels, for something you barely pay attention to its just kind of unneccessarily imersion breaking

i think at the very least, in zzz, the characters in heels make sense enough to be in heels or u can at least understand where they are coming from

Burnice, yes, Lucy, kinda, Yanagi and Nekomata just feel weird though
rapid bough
Burnice, yes, Lucy, kinda, Yanagi and Nekomata just feel weird though
imo yanagi's makes "sense" considering she thinks of herself as a very basic, uninteresting glorified office lady and dresses accordingly
rapid bough
same, we're so back
runic ether
anyways yea yanagi's makes sense bc
we also see that she def does wear different outfits when going on actual missions
this is her office attire
unless its an emergency, she wont fight in it
rapid bough
when do we see she wears different outfits beyond the story cinematic from when she was younger?
since she was definitely wearing her office attire (i.e. current clothes) when you run into section 6/they support you during the hollow zero missions in the story
and yeah that's prolly at least partly an in-game recognizability thing, but on the other hand hoyo is known for their attention to detail and that feels like something they'd have made more obvious
runic ether
when do we see she wears different outfits beyond the story cinematic from when ...
i assume, like ellen, shes not wearing her in-game clothes the whole time
rapid bough
but ellen actually appears in other clothes in-game lol
runic ether
ye
rapid bough
like you can see her in her school outfit among friends several times
that's not true of nagi
rapid bough
also ellen's maid outfit is her "work" outfit since that's just victoria housekeeping for you, in the same way yanagi's office uniform seems to be her actual uniform for work
rapid bough
right
runic ether
i wonder if nicole-
nevermind
knowing nicole
her outfit + anby's and billy's and nekomata's are probably considered work outfits for insurance purposes
rapid bough
basically i'm saying i haven't seen much of anything implying yanagi doesn't wear her office uniform for section 6 operations
since she has actually done exactly that in the story
rapid bough
right, i'm just saying that her outfit looking like it does makes sense for her because of how she sees herself (nevermind that everyone around her knows she's insanely smart + a smokeshow)
the idea that she actually doesn't wear it for important operations didn't compute to me
all of the "fighting in heels" girls already have to run on anime logic to some extent
funnily enough with the possible sole exception of ellen and rina because they're basically dress coded into it lol
old galleon
found a pretty sick 2b1s for nm90
call bubs, payila 3, europa 3, go off
grid, and yes, i finally used my 2 remaining anni weapon tickets on wamdus' cnidocyte bc fuck farming that raid more than i have to
(i'll go back for ax skills eventually but wamdus is a more annoying farm for me than ewiyar and nothing else in that selection matters to me so)
this also works with manadiver mc but iatromantis has guaranteed triples with spear mh and aux so it's 100% consistent instead of 99% consistent
also payila obv mvp, partywide double strike is still ridiculous in 2024
again, that's also doable with manadiver mc and falsehood opus mh, but if i can avoid running that, i will
which reminds me, the opus is finally 5*

full cleared the first interception mission for the first time
when do I join a union
And what union do I join
rapid bough
the answer to "when" is "first opportunity" since you want to be in one in time for the next union raid (likely next week)
as for which, just try and fine one that's reasonably active and marked as casual-friendly, and preferably one with a note that it kicks inactive players
wispy goblet
Does the Level matter?
rapid bough
not really, but being higher level means the union has been around for longer and can have more members, so that's preferable
rapid bough
Are there any expectations of me once I join?
be active, do your dailies, help out in union raid when it runs
casual-friendly unions will understand that low level members won't be able to do much in union raid
still, having your name there on a few attempts won't hurt
rapid bough
Can I leave at any time?
yes except when a union raid is running iirc
wispy goblet
Dailies as in daily progress stuff

do hoyo games do half-annis lol
ZZZ released in what, july? that'd put december as half-anni, which aligns with any new year's based shit they might want to do i suppose
but this is my first hoyo game so idk what holidays or seasons they plan special events for
rapid bough
i kinda expect them not to, hoyo games are so big to the point of being "too big to fail" that things like half-annis would seem almost trite to them
and seasonal events in the same way that other gachas do them (with lots of in-season character alts) seem like not their style because those are glorified skins which hoyo ain't about

guilty is probably the best of the bunch to the point that she's decent for a poverty shotgun comp, but that's so niche that you shouldn't let it get in the way of vibes
wispy goblet
although isn't Guilty apparently a better-than-average Burst II?
rapid bough
idk about "better than average" but she's somewhat unique in the sense that she's a decent damage-focused B2
lots of B2s are support or buff focused
she's one of the few somewhat usable DPS B2s
but again, still not all that good in the long run
again, her main niche is a poverty shotgun comp for the grave digger interception

Oh yeah
runic ether
she gets her tail burnt by burnice
she's supposed to be playable in the future
tho not done rn
same with big daddy
im interested in learning more about yao
she has already appeared a lot in-game in posters and commercials
and she is snap in the latest event
which means she has access to similar tech that phaethon has
(not as advanced tho)
but how does she fight? is she secretly fighting? maybe a boss so possible antagonistic role to start?
shes quite an enigma and i hope they cook for her
rapid bough
body size like caesar, jane, rina, zhu yuan
sold
yao has been pretty wholesome (as snap the bangboo) during this event so i have trouble visualizing her as an enemy
then again she's anonymous as snap so maybe that's closer to who she really is, but in-person star (actor? singer? idk) yao puts on a diva persona?
would feel too similar to jane's undercover bit to have it go that way
but they're setting up tons of stuff in VR land lately so maybe she's not a "bad guy" boss, just a "hey test this VR" boss
but i imagine she's gotta be hiding something about her life given she showed up with bangboo sync tech similar to phaethon and is heavily invested in the VR training for some reason
so she's almost certainly more than just a famous singer/actor/whatever she is

So the honeymoon period with Nikke is coming to an end
I'm still having fun with the game
but I don't know if I'm having the kind of fun that would get me to stick with the game long term
rapid bough
anything in particular you think it's lacking relative to a game you would want to play long term?
(there are several valid answers to this, nikke is not perfect, but knowing what you want can help find the game(s) that becomes your long term choice)
wispy goblet
Sitting down with my thoughts for a bit:
(The sides are not to scale; just because I write more for the negatives than positives doesn't necessarily mean each negative outweighs a positive.)
Positives:
- When the horny hits for me, it's really good.
- I've enjoyed getting attached to some of the cast members of the main story, as well as the side characters in their advise segments.
- The gameplay loop being mostly hands-off when you want it, but having the space for active involvement has felt really good so far.
Negatives
- While I've enjoyed the story so far, the campaign honestly feels a little bit of a chore to get through. It's routinely the thing I do only when I need to progress elsewhere in the story or when there's nothing else to do.
- The story itself isn't in a genre I usually enjoy without reservations. I'm much more of a "saturday morning cartoon" kinda guy when it comes to stories I consume primarily for fun. I'd feel less bad about it if the story had a conclusion I could look at to know if I'd enjoy the ride, but right now, I don't know if I'm going to like where the ride goes.
- The nature of daily systems is one I don't like, but especially when it feels like I need to do dailies to keep par, rather than simply being a reward. I'd feel a lot better if I knew I could take extended breaks, come back when an event/banner appeals to me, and not have to worry about needing to spend lots of real money to catch up.
rapid bough
fair enough on all those negatives, i really enjoy the story but i also think it feel like a bit of a chore to go through, because with most gacha games you get used to the "minimal" grind of like 10-15 mins per day to do your dailies, but when there's a ton of story content still to do (event or main campaign), it throws a wrench in your routine
and yeah nikke definitely does not have a lighthearted story overall lol
it has individual lighthearted events & moments but overall it kinda plays its post-apocalyptic dystopian setting fairly straight with all the suffering and depression involved
The nature of daily systems is one I don't like, but especially when it feels like I need to do dailies to keep par, rather than simply being a reward. I'd feel a lot better if I knew I could take extended breaks, come back when an event/banner appeals to me, and not have to worry about needing to spend lots of real money to catch up.
this last criticism though is definitely just going to ubiquitous throughout gacha games
they live and die on FOMO and getting you to log on as much as possible to keep up
you'll be hard pressed to find a gacha game that is super forgiving of players taking months-long breaks
or at least, to feel good doing that, you really need to have a good bank of currency/pulls before doing so to feel reasonably secure in randomly picking it back up for specific characters/events/whatever
imo nikke is among the more forgiving gacha when it comes to taking breaks because it's got generous rates, so despite having fewer accumulated pulls because you took a break(s), each individual pull is worth more in nikke than lots of other gacha games
ZZZ really does sound like it'd be down your alley story-wise
it has serious moments that hit good but it's mostly just slice of life bullshit right now lmao
not nearly as horny as nikke but few things are. still plenty of tasteful fanservice to enjoy though
it has a very active gameplay loop though, the concept of autobattle sorta necessarily can't exist in a game like ZZZ
wispy goblet
Being more active isn't necessarily a downside
I am a #RealGamer after all
it's just that Nikke being a game I can progress while doing other things as an upside in its own way
rapid bough
yeah i very often am watching a YT video, TV show, whatever while playing nikke
can't do that with ZZZ, but that's not a point against it since its gameplay is fun as hell
just a very different sort of experience going from hands-off to hands-on
wispy goblet
Maybe it's just been a long time since I've played a game with such a demanding daily system
But I'm already feeling a little bit of "damn this is a chore" burnout
rapid bough
tbh it feels more demanding early on than it is, since you're still progressing and unlocking new shit all the time lol
for me in endgame it really is like a 5-10 min a day ordeal, which is on the standard-to-low end of gacha dailies
but events and new story progression, again, throw a wrench in that
wispy goblet
at least the daily limitations don't feel so bad yet
and there's no limit on story progression
I remember being very frustrated with Venus Vacation's energy system
rapid bough
ZZZ does have an energy system too btw, but it takes literally like less than 2 minutes to burn a full 240 if you're in a rush
and ZZZ's dailies are truly maximum braindead, they take 30 sec for the truly daily portion outside of making sure you don't cap stamina
wispy goblet
but yeah
even 5-10 minutes is a lot for me, comparatively
the most demanding daily system I've dealt with a while is probably Master Duel's honestly
and I've never felt too bad about missing days or even months
rapid bough
weekly stuff takes longer in ZZZ, but much easier to do that at your leisure
but i don't think you'll find a gacha game with a daily agenda that's gonna be significantly shorter than that 5-10 min mark
wispy goblet
I figured
Reality of the genre/industry
rapid bough
i will say ZZZ comes close if you're in a hurry, since doing the daily errands + burning energy can legit be done in like less than 3 mins
but that's not always gonna be the "optimal" daily routine, since energy burn rate can depend on what you need to grind
i should say that i'm only harping on ZZZ since i know you mentioned earlier that you were looking at nikke/ZZZ lol
there are obviously plenty of other options
wispy goblet
Maybe I'll go back to playing Venus Vacation
rapid bough
also could just be that the gacha grind isn't for you which is totally fair lol
again, don't think you'll find a game with short dailies and a forgiving enough currency accumulation that you can just take breaks and come back on a whim and expect to get everything you want
(on that note, ZZZ or really any hoyo game does NOT fit the bill of being forgiving of breaks, since they heavily rely on steady pull accumulation)
rapid bough
it's a good game brent
dull bridge
again, don't think you'll find a game with short dailies and a forgiving enough ...

Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication | The Herta
The writers from the Intelligentsia Guild wanted to give me an extra title. Something like "Herta Prime" to separate me from my puppets. How banal. Are the puppets not "me" as well?

not me realizing i've been sitting with qingyi and nicole's core passives at level 5 instead of 6
oops
rapid bough
i must've stopped leveling them around the time jane came out since i went from jane to caesar to burnice to yanagi lol
and hard focused leveling them b/c all their core passives are nuts
qingyi/nicole's core passives are great but seem like relatively less of a power spike going up one level
that said, there was no reason not to max them after i had maxed each up the above chars, i just forgor
just used my 3 free weekly hunts to level qingyi's... extra .3% stun damage mult per stack, at 20 stacks that's another 6%
doesn't really feel like a gamechanger
nicole's is 38% DEF shred -> 40% lol
yeah on second thought i can see why i forgot these
rapid bough
no doubt they're worthwhile improvements
but compared to how much everyone else's core passives improve per level they feel minor
then again, each of them might seem small in a vacuum but stacking qingyi's extra mult with nicole's extra DEF shred is probably a "greater than the sum of the parts" outcome
tbh jane's core passive feels like the most insane one so far to me, just because it makes her AP breakpoint for 100% assault crit chance achievable and the difference between reaching that breakpoint and not is like night and day damage
rapid bough
i'll go for both lol, but i was an even 3 hunts away from qingyi's so

i have never had triple ssrs in any gacha
slow raft
well you have a different kind of pull, which you honestly cant complain about
rapid bough
SBS might be the pilgrim rerun for new year's but apparently your luck cannot be stopped
me, a pleb: saves over 800 pulls in advance of winter/new year's to hope he can get everything
argor, a chad: yolo pull for triple SSRs of meta units and pilgrims
and hell i can't even really complain about my luck, it's been mid to good (i got all the eva collab units in 40 total pulls i think)
poor guy over here's 150+ dry on grave and 7 SSR molds dry of an actual SSR

strictly speaking, i started nikke before the anni so i guess that doesn't apply to me : ^)

that'll just be broken with time i imagine, you're just reaching the limits of how far the level 200 freebie nikkes can carry you

should be worth to get all the clear rewards before the event ends so you can buy all the pull vouchers from the shop (and more stuff besides if you end up having the currency for it)
wispy goblet
Owned: 3
rapid bough
that's all ya get
i know you're waffling about whether you even want to keep playing nikke, but unless you really like snow white: innocent days, you should choose 3x rapunzel with those selectors
if you stick around, or take breaks and come back from time to time, you're gonna want the MLB those 3 dupes get you in the long run
wispy goblet
Do you get locked out of rewards if you play the mini game on easy mode?
rapid bough
nope
it's there for the people that don't like the minigame, or don't have the time, but want the rewards
because it's easily the most time-consuming minigame they've released
old galleon
and honestly you probably should just play it on easy mode if you don't care about the challenge of doing it without
early game is super easy but some of the later bosses are a pain
that said, although you do become immortal, you don't become immune to knockback
so you'll still have to mind that
wispy goblet
hmm
Is it worth the rewards
rapid bough
it's 15 pulls worth but it'll take a hot minute even on easy mode
would recommend looking up the full minigame map, it'll help find the main quest objectives so you can basically rush through
the key was definitely to chip away at progress daily, i don't think i'd want to do it all at once and i liked the minigame as a whole

@runic ether do you know if Chasca is any good or not?
wispy goblet
I might just write it off at this point
Too late for me
runic ether
at the very least she's fun
glossy latch
I wanna get Ororon and I have to decide which 5* Id mind getting less
Whats her gimmick anyway
runic ether
shes a bennett furina abuser
basically she will load her gun with specific elemental bullets based on your teammates
ie: if you have furina/ororon/bennett, she'll pick between electro/hydro/pyro for her 3rd through 6th bullet
then she'll fire them at fixed intervals
theres no way to guarantee her loading them in any particular order
but, it doesnt matter since the bullets themselves are consisten and do a ton of damage
glossy latch
God, shes another Bennett user
runic ether
lol
glossy latch
Why does everyone use Bennett
versed pawn
Everyone is a Bennet user
glossy latch
Furina is fine but Id need a healer with Furina without using Bennett
I mean yeah, Pyro and all that
versed pawn
And based on leaks archon looks more like a dps with the weapons overall
runic ether
the big draw to her is that she is extremely easy to build
versed pawn
Maybe kinda like raiden
runic ether
atk/atk/atk or crit
crit dmg
she is a crit ascension character with a 40% crit rate set
versed pawn
It's xianglingever
runic ether
so she can easily hit on crit rate and overcap it
glossy latch
What weapon does she even use
runic ether
any high base atk bow basically
glossy latch
Oh I meant weapon type
runic ether
unfort amo's bow passive wont work on her
glossy latch
Bow huh
glossy latch
So I guess its two bow users
... and I already have a pyro team so Lyneys value is lower
runic ether
imo, you can very easily get ororon and then pass on chasca
but her gameplay can be pretty fun
versed pawn
Mauvika also have crit Ascension and her weapon does have crit too with that natlan set you probably reach 100% crit for free
glossy latch
Well I asked because I was already 60 rolls deep
But lmao I still got Ororon without her or a standard 5*
Now I assume that Ororon really wants constellations doesnt he?
versed pawn
Every 4 star kinda
runic ether
he has really good cons
but he can play without them
he is that good
helps that he is basically fischl but he has a super strong support set
runic ether
eh
glossy latch
Oh fuck off, why did I get another bell
glossy latch
Damned weapon is glued to me
runic ether
i'll say i am weary of mauvika since it seems she is yet another pyro dps
glossy latch
The only one I have more of is Fav Warbow, but thats at least a decent weapon iirc
runic ether
toss fav bow on him and you may end up solving all your team's er needs
he is that energy positive
glossy latch
i'll say i am weary of mauvika since it seems she is yet another pyro dps
True but she has a motorcycle
Also she is a pyro character with a nightsoul burst
runic ether
yea
glossy latch
Something Kinich rather wants
runic ether
ah right u went for kinich
glossy latch
Aye
runic ether
i would hope that mauvika has good and reliable numbers
glossy latch
Good investment tbh, Im enjoying him quite a bit
Unfortunately it seems I have no one else Im really hyped to pull for for some time
runic ether
yea i would have loved to grab him. maybe on a rerun
glossy latch
Like we still dont know when (or if) Wrio is getting a rerun
glossy latch
I dont care much for Chasca or ... I even forgot who the other character this patch is
runic ether
thats actually it
glossy latch
Citlali is kinda whatever to me
runic ether
chasca + ororon
glossy latch
Huh
runic ether
neuvillette + zhongli reruns
next patch will be mauvika and citlali
5.4 will be the liyue 4 star polearm anemo shielder
lanyan
or whatever her name is
glossy latch
Dont care for Neuvilette, dont need Zhongli probably?
So its like, either we get a Wrio rerun
Or I hope we get someone interesting soon
runic ether
yeah
tbf i havent like
been super into
like i wanna save
only pulling for chasca for ororon
if i get her sure
glossy latch
I kinda like Natlans aesthetic, I just dont care for most of the Natlan characters
Mavuika is borderline just because of the motorcycle
That shit is so dumb
runic ether
chasca's gun is absurdly dumb
i just fuck with it heavy
guess we'll see tomorrow either way
glossy latch
Thats when we get the details yeah?
runic ether
tomorrow they get the private servers running
so they dont get banned for sharing and leaking
even if u hide your user id and such hoyo can actually track the numbers you do to find which account leaked what

flora's kit is interesting on the face of it but 40sec CD B2s have a long history of being unusable
old galleon
yeah, coming right after we got grave
rapid bough
she gives some worthwhile healing and buffs off-burst so she's not utterly worthless, there's definitely worse units out there
don't see her breaking into any meta comps or even missilis tower tho
wish she had a 20sec burst CD, she'd actually be a surprisingly decent healer+true damage support for content that needs healing rather than raw damage
honestly think there's an inevitable future where shift-up introduces a nikke or mechanic that can circumvent 40sec B1/B2 CDs
sorta like blanc when paired with other 777 members
because a 40 sec CD on a new B1 or B2 is basically DOA
only B1s with a >20sec CD i know that actually see use are tia (reduces her own CD so she is effectively 20sec) and bunny alice (she re-enters B1 so you have to bring a proper 20sec B1 anyway)
and only B2 is blanc, and that's cap anyway since she's only run with other 777 members so the CD becomes 20sec

It's strange to see cygames pull this kind of thing
as i understand it, the gbf team pitched it to the slime people, who went along with it
the stated justification is to give us more playable characters
the real reason is money
the collab banner isn't even a 6% banner, it's a standard 3%, and the collab units are mediocre at best (which in one respect is good bc they probably won't have a big impact on dark gw next year, but on the other, makes rolling on the banner outside of the freebies feel like a total waste)

get my actual target in the next 10 roll

10th door, 3* door

rest of the roll was pretty funny too; got a majority of the pulls to be 4* or higher
oh also they casually leaked necoco es
probably an artifact of testing they forgot to remove before release
but although the es form lacks artwork and uses her as treatises instead of codices, it does have its own sprite
it also crashes the game if you try to use her in any meaningful context

i don't do that bc i actually want to invest in these ships and the sooner the better, esp during skill qol period
