And like, that series had an abysmally low capture rate for me even before I started getting those requests

Coins just aren’t a problem anymore; I could probably clear out the points shop by doing a bunch of Ball farming but that’s so many clicks rn
I can’t be bothered

I haven't been too invested in the gundam gacha, haven't pulled the units I want outside crossbone for a while
I should get back to it
I hope they add a friends system soon

Tbh it’s pretty low stakes rn
I’ve gotten past the unlocking/farming hump, so all I need to do is log in, do dailies, and skip some stages for passive material gain
Events take a bit more, and if/when I feel like doing more story (SEED Recap, X, G) I can take a little more time

I wonder, if I lose the 50/50 on Astra, would I be better off saving for Yuzuha to (hopefully) make Jane Doe keep up?
Maybe its even better to just go for Yuzuha once I have a copy of Panda 🤔
Good news at least is that Alice and Yuzuha being physical means we get a new physical boss for Shiyu

||not sure how familiar you are with Korean history but Dongrang turning into a Farmwatch with his EGO is actually a reference to a lot of Korean plays written back during the Japanese occupation period; the villains would often be farmwatches or Korean-affiliated landowners ruling over poorer Korean farmers||
||"kill the camellias in me" references two points: Dongbaek's name is the Korean word for camellia and she is a reference to 동백꽃, a short story by Gim Yujeong who was a member of the same League as Yi Sang—Dongbaek and Yi Sang had a far closer and more positive friendship than Yi Sang and Dongrang—and camellias in Korean flower language represent many things BUT chief among them being purity and love||
||"Fly, perfect wings" and "Show them who I can be; For the one last time, if you will; THAT'S ALL" references Yi Sang's short story "The Wings" (you should know how important wings and birds are to the story of Yi Sang in Limbus) which ends on a vague note with the implication of the main protagonist of the story committing suicide while speaking of his wings and begging for them to let him fly just one more time. Yi Sang's story is an inversion of this desolation and hopelessness; rather than give up and die alone and miserable, he'll spread his wings one last time and reach for his dreams and I just love that so much||
I love Yi Sang so much, no one else is doing it like him

so you use warspite in bottom to specifically snipe the third
of course, since that level of pvp optimization is only really relevant if you're a sweaty tryhard (since pvp isn't core to progresion), warspite being pvp meta again doesn't mean she no longer needs an augment
bc jesus christ does she need an augment

wake up honey new nikke controversy just dropped
the scarlet gacha skin you can get a CD key for is apparently only available for people who purchase the stellar blade complete edition
not for people who got the base game and then the nikke DLC
notably, this completely fucks over people who got the game on playstation when it released and who therefore only really need the nikke DLC
their options to get the gacha skin are either buy the CE just for the skin +DLC (despite already owning the base game), or just buy the skin in-game
the CE is $80, the DLC on its own is $20, and the skin in-game (if bought straight up) is anywhere from $20-60 depending on your luck, but realistically it's $60
playstation owners therefore either get to spend anywhere from an extra $60-$80 if they want the scarlet skin
PC players don't really need to worry about this since the game is only just now releasing on PC, so you can just buy the complete edition from the start

unfortunately the nature of the mistake is handwavey cross-platform, cross-team, etc. bureaucratic nightmare shit so there's no guarantee they'll be able to provide a satisfactory fix
but at least this statement fully commits to trying
unlike the... yeah, "enriching" statement re: the CN controversy

shift up really can't stop catching major Ls lately
shame, since the stellar blade collab on its face looked like it was a major hit, and the nier collab rerun got people hyped too. thus far these are the only two IPs nikke has collabed with that are similar levels of horny and have let them go crazy with the designs

kit is good, i just found it funny out of context that me pulling refi is the thing that got you to seethe
anyway, idk how good maid rubia is but refi and homunculus lathel should go in some of my rotations
tho i'm pretty sure homunculus is a freebie from the chapter i'm currently on lol
rapid bough
it's not, h.lathel is gacha only
old galleon
by far the most advanced scam i've ever encountered
rapid bough
the only chapter freebies are 1-3 (base justi, schera, and gray) and chapter 8 i think? for edgy vengeance lathel
and base lathel to start ofc
old galleon

well it doesn't matter to me that much either way
since lathel is probably my least favorite gacha protag of all the gachas i've played
but homunculus has a good kit, so i'm kinda obligated to get some use out of him anyway

Saw an alleged leak of the next (?) Nikke event
Unfortunately, I've already made my mind up to bank
old galleon
wouldn't it just be nier rerun or some summer event
wispy goblet
Allegedly not
It might be a post-summer event
old galleon
got eve within 4 tickets
it's just that easy
i'm not super interested in raven; while i love her design, her kit looks ehh to me, enough that i'm not compelled to pull
so i'll just leave it at eve with a lot of resources saved
also have no intention of rolling on nier rerun so i get to save for summer, i guess
rapid bough
triple SSR on the second 10 pull and none of them is eve lol (but scarlet spook is blessed to commemorate her gacha skin)
got double eve on the next multi tho
going for MLB
holy shit i got double eve AGAIN on the next multi
that's MLB in 40 pulls
old galleon
the event map is enormous and there's more than one kind of sparkly to collect on it
so yeah that's "fun"
oh also the mini game is extremely unintuitive to me
checked elsewhere, absolutely everyone's bitching about the mini game
lmao
i have yet to see literally one person say it's fun
rapid bough
if i had a nickel for every gacha game i play that recently updated and now seems to perform like shit with constant fps hitching/frame drops, i'd have two nickels
etc etc
getting a lot of that in nikke now
feels very noticeable especially any time i open the full nikke roster screen (or anything that uses it, like the synchro device)
runic ether
time to check your system
rapid bough
with nikke it seems to only happen right after i click something that needs to load
you might naturally think "so... things are loading" -- and yes, i assume so
but the game didn't previously need this long to load nor did it hitch to the point of nearly freezing while it did so
not until this patch
performance in battles also seems noticeably worse
old galleon

i guess i'm dumb bc i have a pic up literally showing me the bench where it's supposed to be and i can't find it in game

rip dunno then
was gonna say sometimes they're tricky and unlock map collectibles after doing the event stages

rapid bough
despite performance issues, the elimination of the long-ass black screen after launching the game is blessed
old galleon
finally found it after taking way longer than i'd have liked

i now load into the game in a downright normal amount of time (still long, but the black screen was straight up like 50-75% of my post-launch wait time)
old galleon
my load times have improved a little bit over time
of course, mine are still downright slow compared to any halfway decent setup
but now i think i get through the post-black screen part in around 10-15 mins instead of 20-30 : ^)
oh also bunch of people complaining about performance issues after the update
so not just you
rapid bough
i'd be very surprised if they were lol

didn't expect the event to be voice acted, that's quite nice

2 weeks later
rapid bough
i mean they might fix it
old galleon
"yeah i bought the scarlet gacha skin it's peak"
rapid bough
part of the reason it's not doing it for me is because it's still awkward in-game
they fixed the idle pose but shit still looks weird in the cover/shooting pose
also i'm really never gonna live down changing my opinion on the mermaid skin am i
that's the only skin i went from uninterested in initially to buying lol
lest you forget, i flipped my opinion on the mihara skin in that very same event too
and ended up not getting that one
this also does give me an excuse to at least somewhat vote with my wallet
shift up is fucking up recently and while their responses haven't been awful and i believe they'll at least somewhat fix things, i sure would prefer if they stopped fucking up and the only way to get them to do that is to hurt their bottom line
on stuff that i really like, my FOMO will unfortunately guide me
but unless it's a smash buy (like that centi skin) i can at least restrain myself from rewarding their shitty business practices... sometimes
did 30 standard pulls as well after adding K and arcana to my wishlist. got nothing
can't complain too much since my eve pull luck was insane
but i swear my standard pulls have been dogshit for so long
old galleon
i also got nothing from ordinary wishlist attempts, but i also can't complain since i only needed 4 tickets for eve
added arcana but not k

i'm at the point where i use up 1 or 2 slots per manufacturer just to unlock nikkes i don't have yet

arcana however i want to MLB
so she's staying in my wishlist for a while

is it worth chasing dupes for Snow White
or should I be going for dupes on one of the other Pilgrims I already have
old galleon
snow white is used in very specific dedicated comps
rapid bough
snow white does actually see endgame use
old galleon
if you're planning to play those, then you could consider it
rapid bough
with proper investment + boss mechanics + squad comp she does absurd damage
but that's super endgame
and dupes aren't a huge stat increase anyway
i'd get dupes for pilgrims you use more often
especially the ones you'll use in content where combat power may be relevant, so tower or campaign

what should I be spending black tickets on
rapid bough
idk i have 1000 and haven't spent any since i passed the 200 wall
realistically they're probably best spent on getting at least 2 LBs on favorite item nikkes
since you need 2 LBs for bond level 30
wispy goblet

several of my disks suck because i just threw together whatever was even semi-decent to get yunkui 4set working
i have sig so the CR is actually 20% higher than it shows (still think it's dumb that it doesn't show on the stats screen)
reasonably happy with the stat spread even for a serviceable but far from optimized disk loadout
rapid bough
i've actually quite enjoyed pan + caesar
underrated aspect of defense agents is that their defensive assists only use 1 assist point
so you can switch out like crazy
runic ether
yeah caesar is quite good with yixuan too
m6 pulchra for me just has that damage
plus i do use caesar a fair bit in deadass as a 3rd team option
rapid bough
if i had m6 pulchra i'd be using her but alas
runic ether
u can get a copy a month now
rapid bough
i'd rather just spend that currency on 7 pulls tbh
glossy latch
38 pulls in, no Cartetyhia
Good news is, 42 more pulls is easily doable and Ill have enough to get the weapon too
Btw do you need to have done the 1.X story stuff to start the 2.0 story and get to the new region?
rapid bough
technically no, but i have heard that there's currently a bug where starting 2.0 makes you unable to go back and progress 1.X chapter stuff
i'm sure it'll get fixed eventually so if you don't care about that right this moment you're probably fine, but fair warning just in case
glossy latch
I see
rapid bough
i mean there's also the fact that large parts of the 2.0 story won't make any fucking sense without finishing especially the epilogue 1.X chapters
wispy goblet
are there any timed rewards for progressing in 2.0
glossy latch
I know the story, I just haven't played through it
Hmmm
God I wish we could just get a free copy of panda
rapid bough
are there any timed rewards for progressing in 2.0
this event should be the only one with timed rewards directly tied to 2.0 content
everything else is either separate from 2.0 (side content like gravitational attraction and soul of steel), or permanent content (suibian temple base management thing)
wispy goblet
is the content level/difficulty scaled assuming you've leveled up enough to progress through 1.0
rapid bough
the game will give you trial characters to use that are of the proper level, so you can progress without needing your own roster if necessary
glossy latch
If I had Panda I could start actually considering playing Yixuan soon
rapid bough
to be clear yixuan is mega cracked, people have 20k+ deadly assault with her solo lol
glossy latch
M0?
rapid bough
pan is an awesome buffer + works with her playstyle perfectly but she ass blasts basically all content just by herself
glossy latch
Huh
rapid bough
i also think her complexity is overstated
she definitely has a high ceiling but you can get to like 90% of her effectiveness just by abusing her EX parries properly lol
and ofc rotating properly to keep buffs up, but her best squadmates can do that easily
wispy goblet
I should learn how to actually play my characters
rapid bough
it'd likely enhance your enjoyment of the game
glossy latch

right now I'm mostly setting up stuns
rotate through Nicole
then mash out on DPS and press the special move button when I have EX meter

you're also using a janky yixuan/nicole/zhu yuan team right
wispy goblet
only for fun during the campaign since I'm overleveled
once that stops working I'd be going back to anby/nicole/zhu yuan or yi xuan

wispy goblet
almost forgot I was sitting on a lot of DNA points too
timber sigil
any of u Nikke bros know if the skin that comes with the Stellar Blade Complete Edition is limited time?
asking since I'm planning on getting it soonish and friend of mine wanted the skin
timber sigil
so I only have a short window to get the skin?
or is it like upon getting the CE that's when it starts ticking down
wispy goblet
memory serve me right
you have until mid-November to unlock the skin by buying the appropriate version and playing enough in-game to unlock it
and then you have until mid-December to cash in the code the game will give you
old galleon
or alternatively you can play the cash rng game that is nikke costume gacha and cope that it'll drop for cheaper than 60 bucks
(i don't recommend this)
if you're giving your friend the code, then assuming you're getting it in any reasonable short to even medium term, it should be fine
wispy goblet
I've heard people say that you should reach the area that gives you the code within a couple hours or play
old galleon
"This CD-KEY can be issued until 11/12/2025, 03:00 (UTC+0:00)"

old galleon
any of u Nikke bros know if the skin that comes with the Stellar Blade Complete ...
also just to be abundantly clear, if you're not actively purchasing the complete edition as its own game, but rather just updating the game (like through ps5 dlc), then you won't get the code
so beware of that

Must have taken notes from nobu with those skeletons
rapid bough
exceedingly minor yixuan complaint: it bothers me that one of her ult1 voice lines is "swift yet still" and one of her ult2 voice lines is "swift yet still, clear yet murky"
there's a nonzero chance you get both of those lines b2b when playing her and it's weird lol
"swift yet still, swift yet still, clear yet murky"
incidentally both are also the weirdly out of place/worse compared to their respective ult's other voice lines
for ult1 "the cycle of yin and yang" and "obliterate form and spirit" are better
for ult2 "evil shall be purged" and "your fate is sealed" are better
3/4 of those lines have the "fuck you" energy ult lines should have, and the fourth just sounds cool. "swift yet still, clear yet murky" doesn't match the vibe imo
that said, i'm likely putting more thought into this than i should, but i place really high value on good ult lines with some oomph to them, i think they can elevate the satisfaction of pressing the button as much as or even more than a good animation
evelyn's ult lines bother me for the same reason. "your journey ends with me" goes so much harder than her other two lines ("nothing slips through my defenses" and "the best defense is a strong offense")

god damn kawakaze meta got hands

my napoli is dying less than halfway through the fight lol

She also has no circulation to her legs
old galleon
my napoli is dying less than halfway through the fight lol
not sure napoli is the play against kawakaze
idk how much of her damage is torps but og kawakaze is a torp monster
so if kawakaze meta fight is also big on torp damage, that doesn't sound great for napoli
i think the fleets i saw use plymouth/aurora/eldridge retro
rapid bough
i'll have to experiment then, i always default to napoli under heavy vanguard pressure since she's (in theory) the tankiest vanguard unit for single fights due to her smokescreen
i do always forget about how good eldridge is for buffing vanguard survivability though

ugh do i MLB trafalgar or wait for biszwei, who's more useful
i assume it's biszwei
actually come to think of it i can probably just do both
i have enough to MLB trafalgar right now, and the cruise pass UR bulin + biszwei rerun UR bulin + monthly reset likely right after her rerun will give me enough to MLB her too
also, i shouldn't really be surprised but new jersey in the 3d dorm is smol, more smol than i expected
2d art and characters' sizes always existing relative to one another always gets me in gacha games
characters seem like they're tall or at least of medium size but then you realize, "oh they're actually like 5'4" or something

"How badly are you scrounging pulls for carte"
got her still need weapon
even done with exploration
main quest a bit short tho
dont like the seperate part one and 2 three weeks apart
rapid bough
tried a plymouth/z52/eldridge frontline and a plymouth/chapayev/eld frontline to similar results, z52 was slightly better
chappy is actually quite good on this fight since kawakaze is a DD and chappy has a slightly worse aurora debuff but way more personal damage
she'd likely outperform my z52 comp but she's 120 and my z52 is 125 so the level difference is probably pushing z52 ahead
i don't have a depot full of +13 rainbow gear yet though so i can't one-shot her like i see some others doing
~120k damage seems to be my limit, but that's much better than my initial comp that was using napoli/helena/plymouth in my vanguard
(backline is lion/alsace/vanguard)
old galleon
120k damage done, or 120 damage left?
bc the former is really bad
whenever i will myself to actually run opsi enough to get kawakaze fight to level 15, i'm probably running ykii/kearsarge/lion backrow
front will have plymouth and eldridge most likely, with the third varying

fair
i'm asking to give myself a frame of reference for about how many pulls i should expect to need to get 3 dupes
so i was wondering if you already had a certain number of pulls saved or if you were just planning on dropping cash to get how many you needed
i buy the monthly currency but i very rarely spend on the immediate $10/$20/etc. currency packages, i try to rely on just steady accumulation

inb4 you buy regensburg skin
rapid bough
entirely possible
i mean i bought a bunch of skins from this past event
lucky bag gave me taihou, then i bought the trafalgar, lion, and monarch skins
old galleon
i'm calling out the regensburg one specifically bc it's degen as fuck
rapid bough
i would've bought the friedrich carl skin as well but i don't own her and won't for another year, so i'm just gonna buy it on next year's black friday assuming the game still lives by then and i'm still playing
old galleon
assuming the game still lives by then
probably pretty safe to assume it'll still be alive
rapid bough
it is, but never know with gacha games, especially ones like azur lane which are only getting older
old galleon
i'm still playing
you're way too horny and actually like the game's gameplay too much; you'll probably still be playing
rapid bough
maybe, but keep in mind it scratches that collection itch for me that none of the other gachas i play really do
i'm still at a stage in the game where there are a ton of ships left to get for collection
by black friday next year that likely won't be true
and i imagine my interest will wane as i get closer to 100%
we shall see

slingshot bikini skins are a cheat code for degeneracy
old galleon
and this one's l2d
rapid bough
it doesn't appear the skin has many interactions though which is a bummer

(hes fine just not broken)
nah but like actually? hsr has been on some shit with characters
mydei on release was very whatever unless u had tribbie then pulled hyacine
same w castorice
now phainon waiting for cerydra
sure it prevents powercreep but it feels bad to pull a character and be sold a solution to internal kit awkwardness
summer hornet
^^^
Even aside from the eidolons and light cones
I'm still rolling, because visually he is everything I could ever want, but as far as gameplay I think I may stick to e0s0 and focus more on Archer/Saber
runic ether
yeah
tho i feel like saber is awkward too
though her numbers are solid
archer seeming to be the best in 3.4 raw lol
summer hornet
It's just skill point regen, right? Only really matters if you're trying to use him without Sparkle, or with a relatively SP-heavy teammate
summer hornet
Wait, I'm confused- Sunday with Archer? Is that a thing? Or is it the general principle of skill point-focused eidolons/LCs

Wait is Phainon not good?
