I can't take this kromer person seriously because I just keep thinking of spamton 
slow raft
many such cases
runic ether
i forgot spamton wanted to traumatize sinclair again
also kat i added u
i have mao faust, lord hong lu, molar ishmael, and si gregor on the new ids
and i think only gregor's is only at uptie 2?
the rest are at 3

nooo little german boy dont buy the shitcoin!

its okay. i'll personally give sinclair the red mist ego page and he'll overcome the shitcoin.

everyone's getting eve here lol
as god intended
i will post this as many times as necessary, eve propaganda never stops
especially since not only is this chat apparently all pulling for her
runic ether
eve highkey? one of the best hoyo designs
rapid bough
eve highkey? one of the best hoyo designs
i have a minimal frame of reference since ZZZ is the only hoyo game i play
but she's definitely my favorite design in ZZZ lol
||isolde however came close, what could've been||
digital marlin
i heistated about doing before but i think im going to go for the m6 on Eve one day
rapid bough
i will as well, but still too much pulling to do to risk it
runic ether
thats where im at for s11 and jane
rapid bough
it's a shame her mindscapes other than m6 (because of course) are kinda mid
rapid bough
like getting astra m1 and lighter m2 are better for eve than eve's m1 lol
runic ether
past m2
so really its just 11 that i'm aiming for m6 atm
i would have whaled pretty hard for an s rank manato
rapid bough
a lot easier to aim for m6 on a standard banner agent lol
runic ether
its both easier and harder
easier in that 50/50 losses can be wins
harder in that she is competing with others in that same slot
tho at least i can guarantee her on anniv
rapid bough
yeah but passively getting agent dupes from lost 50s adds up over time so i think that weighs out any negative from the competition
rapid bough
i don't have any dupes of limited chars but i have neko m4 and koleda m2 lol
runic ether
its a double edged sword here
wispy goblet
okay humblebrag
runic ether
its literally a detriment right now in genshin to have my luck
because i could have c6 dehya
and have gotten a character to level 100
thanks to dupes
but im stuck
like sure
its not truly impactful to get to 100
digital marlin
the literal suffering from success
runic ether
but its notable that i literally cannot get my favorite characters to 100
because im too lucky
wispy goblet
I really wanna get Eve wengine
But I'm almost certainly going to have to spend to get my whole wishlist
runic ether
yeah no dont go for it atm
runic ether
the f2p options are strong enough
rapid bough
wengines are never worth if the alternative is spending money lol

0.241% you can fuck riiiiiiight off
runic ether
Me looking limbus ego pull rates dead in the eye
wym?
i got all of them in 190 pulls
rapid bough
and while eve's wengine is very good, it's not nearly as good as lighter or astra
runic ether
tho the only new id i got was twinhook greg
rapid bough
i got 38k on pompey pre-wengine this DA reset
long tree
Misty, have you considered perishing? 
rapid bough
got 45k after getting her wengine
runic ether
and while eve's wengine is very good, it's not nearly as good as lighter or astr...
yeah this too
rapid bough
definitely a big improvement but i already have lighter and astra so i was just optimizing heavily
runic ether
priority for the team:
lighter wengine > i'd say eve wengine before astra >= astra wengine
rapid bough
38k without wengine proves i didn't need it to succeed lol
rapid bough
nah i'd say priorities are lighter >>> astra > eve wengine > lighter wengine >>> astra wengine
runic ether
ah starting from scratch yeah
rapid bough
astra wengine is completely skippable tbh
however its visual effects are sick so it's still tempting
wispy goblet
It's moreso that Eve's wengine is a strong all-purpose engine for whatever future attackers I get
runic ether
yes but
rapid bough
so are the f2p wengines so meh
runic ether
f2p options are also strong for said attackers
rapid bough
there has yet to be an attacker other than hugo that can't use brimstone well for instance lol
runic ether
and hugo also has strong f2p options
wispy goblet
I don't need it in the slightest
I have Steel Cushion and Brimstone to swap around
runic ether
all the more to save up
rapid bough
then yeah focus on saving for characters you're missing lol
runic ether
my strat for hoyo games has been spread a wide net at first, get my characters in the niches i want/need
and once thats done, then i will hyper invest
runic ether
alice doesnt count
rapid bough
at least when you're starting out
runic ether
i just got absurdly lucky
rapid bough
(hate you btw)
wispy goblet
okay
I think I can squeak by if I just pull Lucia and Yidhari next patch
then we save
runic ether
why yidhari?
wispy goblet
waifu pull
runic ether
u may be the first person i see thats looking to pull her
rapid bough
hot
wispy goblet
unless she really turns me off in the story
rapid bough
judging from her voice and demeanor, very unlikely
she's pure horny bait through and through
has me somewhat tempted to get her but i'll see if i can resist the temptation
runic ether
im personally just yucked by her not being more of a thiren
she could have been freaky
like freaky and freaky
rapid bough
her design is definitely phoned in, but it's superficially still hot, hence hornybait
runic ether
but maybe im too much of a furry
rapid bough
speaking as a nonfurry, i prefer the minimal thiren designs lol
exception lycaon
my goat
well no my goat is lucia
but you know what i mean
slow raft
like *freaky* and freaky
she can still be freaky through the power of delusion
wispy goblet
people are scuttlebutting that the Lucia design changes are from CN backlash
wispy goblet
because these changes are coming after we already saw her model in the live game
slow raft
honestly if i dont get her, i wont actually be bothered
(big if here)
rapid bough
i mean it's not the first time they've made model adjustments post-teaser and whatnot
runic ether
she can still be freaky through the power of delusion
i'll leave it to the fanartists i guess
rapid bough
but lucia's are significant which is odd
idk what the CN backlash was but i'm going to assume it was unhinged because that is always a safe assumption
slow raft
i was kinda interested in lucia but the design changes killed that budding interest
runic ether
i'd have liked her to have had a full wizard robe
rapid bough
not horny enough
runic ether
and u know what it really would have worked well with yidhari if she was more full thiren cus then it'd be like a cultist and the eldritch sea monster she worships
at the very least im not interesting in the angels of delusion or zhao much at all (unless damian comes with her)
rapid bough
i definitely don't care about the angels of delusion
rapid bough
so in a roundabout way i'm hoping they release somewhat soon so i can fucking save
runic ether
yeah exactly my view lol
wispy goblet
They're gonna get an Ether Stunner or something and I'm gonna be tempted to pull
Are y'all tracking the ||Banyue|| leaks for the next character at all?
runic ether
yeah
rapid bough
not clicking that spoiler
wispy goblet
Could be a placeholder
icy flicker
i definitely don't care about the angels of delusion
yeah we saving for the devils of actuality for sure
wispy goblet
I have my doubts that he's actually Fire Rupture

They're gonna rerun Astra with the Angels and they're gonna make me pull

Someone ping me when they release a thick female zzz character
wispy goblet
The ZZZ design ethos in general doesn't seem to be about the red beans and rice

I dont care if they are furry, most caves have bushes you must venture through to reach.
runic ether
thickest you'll get is around the bust and the legs take it or leave it
slow raft
Someone ping me when they release a thick female zzz character
ill wake you up in about 3 years then
long tree
thickest you'll get is around the bust and the legs take it or leave it
Its not good enough im greedy I want my 6ft tall thick woman now
rapid bough
if lucia's design changes are any indication, hoyo is definitely playing it safe and consistent with conventionally attractive body types
slow raft
brother youre not even getting proper muscles in this game
rapid bough
they're too afraid to give women any muscle definition
long tree
But i don't wan- I mean i do but like- i wasn't asking for muscle here
runic ether
need zzz to give us a woman with manato's exact body proportions
wispy goblet
Lucia wasn't even unconventional
Pear-shaped
small top, wide bottom
but they changed course
rapid bough
i didn't mean she was unconventional, i meant they modified her design to be more conventional
long tree
If the fit wasn't horrendous for bisque id see the vision
rapid bough
was a body type post
slow raft
already saw someone make a female version of manato and basically the only thing they changed was make the tits smaller
rapid bough
i'm sure hoyo would come up with a better fit

i was thinking of gloria actually
slow raft
martina is 193 (6'4)
runic ether
sheesh
runic ether
ig the index put a few inches into him
runic ether
holy shit i mean she was def bigger than argalia
slow raft
i knew that hag got some height in her
runic ether
one of the coolest mfers better be tall as shit
silver osprey

runic ether
i really like it when characters are seemingly omniscent due to their powers
slow raft
honestly i do like all 4 of these quite a bit
runic ether
iori is just the coolest design imo
out of these here
im a sucker for multi-sword style
slow raft
sweepers dont have genders but lyla is 6'5 for some reason
anton and valeris are just sweeperlets ig
runic ether
lmao yeah
slow raft
iori is just the coolest design imo
im a sucker for gloria
runic ether
honestly would have been cool to see even more sweepers in ruina
slow raft
and i think her personality and vo really adds to it
runic ether
yeah i do like gloria a lot
tho shes not my fave design of the lot
also shit im kind of out of ids to level up out of the ones i use the most. im now at 55 for all my rupture ids that i use, sinking (except dieci meursault), the tremor guys, the burn units i have, the charge units i have, and the bleed units i have.
hmmmm lets see
is r corp heath good? i've heard hes pretty good just a bit dated
slow raft
theres no file on greta? how bizzare
nvm, its just not in the wiki
slow raft
runic ether
i can shard it
slow raft
thank god i have the artbook
slow raft
the only problem with pequod ish is her sanity passive
runic ether
actually i'll do the technically responsible thing and build up dieci meursault
this way if anything goes wrong in fights, i'll have him as back up
actually... i really am lacking in gregor and sinclair
i have just 2 sinclair and gregor ids at high level
slow raft
firefist and priest for gregor and rooster + thumb for sinclair?
slow raft
i did not get pregor or firefist
rough
runic ether
si gregor and edgar family gregor are my gregor ids
im looking at twinhook gregor
this reads pretty solid
the only issue is that the second season 7 comes out he is getting dropped for pregor
tho ig i can toss him in a poise team but... then si gregor is unlikely to be beaten there
slow raft
yeah no idt twinhook is all that good
runic ether
i did uptie middle sinclair to 3 for the passive but he doesnt read all that insane
lol i just realied i have uptied 3 sinclair ids to 3 for passives
slow raft

runic ether
"hey where'd my thread go?" sinclair? again?"
slow raft

runic ether
hmmm i see blade lineage team is an option and i have managed to snipe blade lineage yi sang and sinclair before
and i do have mr bone claimer himself
ig im making a poise team
(like a more dedicated poise team)
slow raft
fair actually if you have meursault
its not winning any awards but unc still got it, suprisingly
god imagine if bl meursault released today
runic ether
yield my flesh would roll like total dogwater and it'd guarantee to claim their bones which would have infinite damage up
slow raft
wed actuially just get boss bamboo hatted kim as a unit
runic ether
true
to claim their bones with 6+ atk weight
looking at the poise team... is bl faust even good to use
slow raft
s1 hits suprsingly well
runic ether
yeah it looks solid
the issue: mao faust is also in theory a poise unit and its not hard to get her there
slow raft
i imagien youd want maost for the rupture team
runic ether
and shit like ig i already know myself that maost is technically the best tremor faust since her speed lets her everlasting
yeahh i guess so
tho im kinda thinking about poise here and if it wasnt for having the full stops
i may be in the business of lord hong lu, maust, the si snakes, and hierarch ish
yeah fuck it ig i'll get bl faust
slow raft
you can also just save mats and wait for whatever is next
runic ether
i mean i can but i think im at like 700 faust shards
609
thats a bit different from 700
oh right i leveled her egos
ut4 everlasting took a chunk
hmm ig i'll save for now and level the bl units i have
okay tho bl don's passives seem nutty for the team ig i'll grab her and get to work even if she's fated to be a passive bot
glossy latch
Limbus has boy's love units? 🤨

summer hornet
Thirty?
slow raft
arent there 20 in the event shop?
summer hornet
I have already used about 10 of the event shop tickets
But 30 pulls from logins is Pog
And I did exchange for Heishou Hong Lu, which gave me space to start borrowing Mao Faust
She really is genuinely that good wtf
slow raft
faust is very maost its true
runic ether
maost is ridiculous
silver osprey
Fao is very Mao
And yes she's broken, you just get 5 glut attacks asap then spam counter
runic ether
which the heishou team's counters can all enable really quickly
slow raft
10 tickets, 2 deca
one of the decas is a 3 star identity guarantee, sadly
so it cant be used on the arknights banner

Canto 5 ||And just like that I’m willing to forgive Outis all the sucking-up and obnoxiousness she’s had, I didn’t think about that but that makes WAY too much sense freaking ouch||
runic ether
||you dont really learn about it in extreme depths, were really brutal||
||to our knowledge too, gregor was on the losing side. outis however, was on the winning side of the war. she is very likely much more powerful and capable than she lets on for multiple reasons||
summer hornet
||so she’s playing dumb like Odysseus, in order to make it ‘home’||
||presumably she’s been wandering since the war||
runic ether
||welll we dont know exactly. the thing is that gregor showcased it. but many many others got fucked over by nests in the smoke war afterwards||
||people were supposed to be given a home in the nest(s) after the war and they just didnt. compensation for disabled vets? hah. nothing to say for any sort of ptsd support post-war.||
||and outis was a full on leader. which leadership often was given to high grade fixers and/or the strongest individual offices hired directly by the nest. and it is very unlikely she was properly compensated for her war efforts too.||
summer hornet
||What were the Smoke Wars fought for? IDR if the game ever mentioned||
||but also yeah that. Makes sense. So she would have to be pretty impressive, even if she’s… pretty much always made sure never to stand out the most in combat. Huh.||

i also have never understood this
they start at weird times and then hide it to the point that it's hard to find when it actually has started
it's like they don't want us to play co-op lol
before the casual/competitive change i could understand, but now it's in a pretty damn good state so idk why it's still so weirdly timed and tucked away in submenus

rolled absolutely atrociously today
my hormone punk 4 and 5 rolled bad
so I decided to roll for some puffer electro
rolled like 10 D4s and 7 of them were AP
ended up spending my last few discs and two locks so I could get a CD 4 and Pen 5
thankfully the substats rolled okay
just kidding I checked and they're pretty bad
but they're good enough I guess

slow raft
you could also just say nothing
runic ether
||ive rarely seen a narrator get this owned||
lmao

you could also just say nothing

i wanna kick his shins in

how did he do that
runic ether
I'm sorry but whenever I see anyone talk about HSR story this is all I can think...
i do like amphoreus' story but its... yeah lmao
dull bridge
i do like amphoreus' story but its... yeah lmao
i feel like idk
amophoerous
is weird
like belbog was fine
loufou was weird
penacony was peak for me
and this is a bit weir
runic ether
thats bc the story isnt done yet, but we havent truly gotten enough density in the story content to truly warrant it
pastel bear
idk what it is but I haven't bothered with the story as soon as penacony started
I've just been reading reader x sunday and reader x phainon fics instead
runic ether
u can forgive 3.0 -> 3.3 bc u can say sure its set up
but 3.4 onward has been too much set up still
doesnt help that theres no real like
events
pastel bear
I didn't really enjoy the Fate event
runic ether
i think it was fine
pastel bear
as much as I love Archer and Saber and Lancer it's probably the least interesting Type Moon thing you could crossover with
runic ether
problem: it was a single patch
if they were gonna have the banners up for a long time... why not take it through multiple patches?
pastel bear
imagine forcing the Trailblazer to interact with Tohno fucking Shiki
runic ether
and i dont mean stretching the current content out
i mean like adding enough shit to it over the content patches it is attached to
runic ether
imagine forcing the Trailblazer to interact with Tohno fucking Shiki
a whole new series to ask "can mystic eyes kill x?"
pastel bear
fwiw I also find HSR cutscenes incredibly boring to sit through
runic ether
also rt: trailblazer is boring as shit during all of amphoreus
pastel bear
something about the canned animations and the very deliberate exclusion of a skip button
runic ether
trailblazer was kind of boring in past arcs to an extent as well
but its really notable in amphoreus
rapid bough
killed anomaly kraken, neat
runic ether
even if i dont love phaethon twins, they are sooo much more active as characters by a long shot
rapid bough
you get a title for doing this, i wish it enabled permanent sweep though
runic ether
traveler is guilty of this too in genshin where they are just watching but at least in the last few updates they have tried to make them more interesting
but it feels like in hsr, it's extremely notable that the trailblazer is kind of a paper bag int erms of personality
slow raft
a trash bag even
runic ether
amphoreus story would work so much better if u remove the trailblazer and focus entirely on phainon i think
even if phainon doesnt end up as interesting, so many scenes the tb gets feel like they should have gone to phainon
either that or hard commit to making the trailblazer a character character
not a self-insert or whatnot
give them a full on personality/goals and such
slow raft
yeah the longer the story goes on the more the fact that the trailblazer isnt a proper characters starts to hurt it i feel
runic ether
it wasnt great early on in hsr but its been worse and worse as it goes on, and in amphoreus, its shown how bad it is
pastel bear
I also just think HSR characters as a whole are really inoffensive
they don't go as far as I'd like them to
runic ether
agreed
3.6 ||the scene where march dan heng and tb reunite should hit harder if we had a stronger showing from all 3 of them throughout||
pastel bear
that's another thing I do appreciate about Limbus
||Erlking Heathcliff was the definition of "as far as they could possibly go"||
slow raft
hoyo really likes to play it safe in hsr it seems
id say they are more unrestrained with zzz but look at what they did to lucia
runic ether
dan heng could have been heavily fleshed out throughout all the amphoreus patches and he just really wasnt
march too
this is a case where amphoreus' story is too short i think
pastel bear
I feel like the "villains" are worse offenders in this regard
runic ether
2 chapters per patch would have done wonders
that or just get smarter with characterization
pastel bear
Kafka was a pretty nothingburger character, Sunday had some parts I liked but I could tell he was meant to be playable the second I saw him
runic ether
kafka is not supposed to be done
silver osprey
limbus x arknight story spoiler
||ik its been carmen but god i wanna know why. i...
We better get her as an op eventually 
runic ether
but i think its also pretty painful that they introduced her and made her playable so early
they are also super afraid to commit to one direction or another on how the tb feels about the stellaron hunters despite them knowing how they are going to go through with it
silver osprey
Gonna feel such a waste if a character like Mayors just disappears after this collab
pastel bear
yeah idk I agree it's too early to pass judgment on her as a character but I don't see them doing anything crazy with her
runic ether
We better get her as an op eventually <:VermeilMhm:650829730441986058>
canto 10 trust
pastel bear
we should've made Trailblazer, March, and Dan Heng just Sora, Donald, and Goofy I think that would've been a lot better for their characters
runic ether
yeah idk I agree it's too early to pass judgment on her as a character but I don...
they should have either hard committed to the stellaron hunters being villainous/evil and us having been a part of them, or them always being our allies and not be so ambiguous
they are trying too hard to give dialogue options of "i dont wanna see you again" and then you see them again and can select "i miss you"
slow raft
i feel like a villainous faction that we sometimes work with as an alliance of necessity wouldvbe worked better
runic ether
yeah
like if the stellaron hunters are active terrorists, even if the intent is as it is, should have been left to be super late
and giving them reasons to join us for convenience would work too
pastel bear
I also think there should've been more stellaron hunters tbh
runic ether
as it is, its super jarring that march and himeko are so wary of them when they have been nothing but helpful/good to us
slow raft
but then how do we explain the gaming with silver wolf events, the most important part of the story
pastel bear
I also think hoyo was too scared to give them like
runic ether
give the event archon role to guinaifen
pastel bear
akatsuki uniforms or some unifying quality
runic ether
when they all pulled up in a suit and tie in that one trailer of the jepella rebellion, they truly cooked for a second
slow raft
im also still of the opinion that aglaea was supposed to be kind of opposed to the astral express and they just cut that short because they were scared people wouldnt pull for her
pastel bear
unironically should've had them in suits while they were doing terrorist work and when they join your party they use their own personal outfits to signify them confiding enough in you to show you the person inside the suit
or at least something
slow raft
punch clock villainy type shit
i see the vision
runic ether
imo, would have liked to see them be allies, but not be ambiguous about it or try to be
slow raft
could also work
runic ether
have a single instance of himeko/march being hesitant and then just be like
nvm
they have only helped us
and the astral express and stellaron hunters are just purely allies the whole time
in spite of other factions
slow raft
idk i hate to give ovven credit but i feel like almost all of the writing choices we have described and take issue with here seem to be born out of the fact that hsr is a gacha
pastel bear
I think it's more from the fact that it's a hoyo gacha
runic ether
and well written and well thought-out things to them
hoyo has had well written stories and good choices in spite of the medium
pastel bear
I haven't played much genshin or zzz but from what I've gathered with hoyo they really do not like doing things
runic ether
zenless has had good story chapters even if some choices and chapters have been clearly "oh this is for gacha considerations"
wispy goblet
random zzz leak (kinda story related?)
some placeholder names/descriptors suggest ||Season 2 will go up to least eight chapters||
slow raft
yeah i cant explain why these issues are cropping up in hsr so much more frequently than in zzz
i imagine its a capitalism thing of some sort
runic ether
i think they just fucked the ball on amphoreus
the scope was just not something that the company as a whole was happy about
for x reason or another
being afraid of losing money and whatnot
which i feel again, is just another issue of the gacha medium, that they shouldnt be. given that hoyo is the biggest gacha gaming company, they could stand to be riskier, yet ik thats not how it works
slow raft
yeah i feel like that could be a little more experimental with the money they make but what do i know
wispy goblet
I've been told that Hoyo is too tied to the CCP to take those kinda risks
Came up in another server, actually
runic ether
ehh yeah kinda
specifically
they have gotten in trouble with the ccp before
over venti and the bronya and seele kiss
and iirc, other homosexual tones
across hi3rd
runic ether
i think its def impacted a lot of design decisions from hoyo
part of it is definitely a case of them being a bit of cowards on some designs tho
lucia for instance
zero excuse for lucia
wispy goblet
People were inspecting the teaser art for the preview stream
It looks like Lucia's old sleeves are on the art
Suggesting they drew over the old art for the redesign
