Even Yanagi and Alice, with their unique disorder stuff, are much more effective in hypercarry teams rather than disorder cycling against different attributes

[rapid bough]

since when is yanagi "much more effective" in hypercarry teams

[runic ether]

iirc invested yanagi in mono electric with trigger is p good but idr if it requires mindscapes/wengines to overperform

[wispy goblet]

I'm pretty sure her best numbers are in teams where she's the hypercarry like mono-shock teams
not teams where she's disorder cycling with another attribute
other than Miyabi but that's because Miyabi has a unique double-benefit from disorder cycling

[rapid bough]

other than Miyabi but that's because Miyabi has a unique double-benefit from disorder cycling
that's sort of my point lol

[wispy goblet]

smh sorry for discounting the game's most infamous outlier

[rapid bough]

her best team is one that specifically focuses on her unique disorder mechanic so it feels like you're just ignoring that to fit it into your argument

[wispy goblet]

even then
Miyabi's highest performing teams don't use Yanagi

[rapid bough]

that's fine, she got powercrept to the surprise of no one

don't see how that's relevant

[wispy goblet]

I'm at least 60% sure mono-ice outperformed Miyabi-Yanagi teams even when Yanagi dropped
and Mostly Ice's advantage over Mono-Ice is ease of play, not outperformance in damage output/score

[rapid bough]

I'm at least 60% sure mono-ice outperformed Miyabi-Yanagi teams even when Yanagi dropped
it absolutely did, but it was hard as fuck to play properly

[wispy goblet]

tbh I'm kinda upset hoyo made Lycaon's PU worse in general play to satisfy the freeze-chainers

[rapid bough]

and it relied on freeze abuse which we've already noted is the subject of many ZZZ dev regrets

idk i just don't buy that there's any reason for them to go on an anti-disorder crusade

i think all you've mentioned can easily be dismissed as the result of new character shilling and their evolving design philosophy of making off-field characters more active

[wispy goblet]

it's not just performance
it's also a playstyle that interacts with bosses the least, I'd say
since you're not interested in stun, you're also largely uninterested in important sources of daze like defensive assists
so it's just cycling back and forth between the anomalies
chaining freezes is the most infamous example of disorder cycling being uninteractive
but even discounting that, it's a largely uninteractive playstyle that I think the devs want to discourage moving forward

[rapid bough]

for one, i don't really buy that boss interaction is super important to them since YSG just released and ignores anything and everything bosses do to a level far greater than anomaly/disorder spamming

if anything their premiere character releases have gotten more ignorant of boss mechanics over time, not less

for two, i genuinely don't understand how any of these

Vivian's Ablooms
Alice's weird DoT Assaults and general Assault-synergy focus
Aria's Ablooms
...Grace's Ablooms
do anything to appreciably deviate from this allegedly harmful play pattern

[wispy goblet]

I don't think they've particularly good job of finding new interesting things to do with anomaly
right now all they've got is "do more damage when you do a thing while anomaly is active"

[rapid bough]

i'm not really sure how you expect them to

[wispy goblet]

which is not exactly inspired
but I think I see a direction they are moving

[rapid bough]

if your criticism of rupture/attack is they both fit the cdmg, stun-focused mold, then surely we need something that doesn't do that

right now anomaly is all we got

part and parcel of getting good performance outside of stun window is implicitly... not caring about stun window

[wispy goblet]

maybe we'll get something like increased daze while anomaly is active for Nangong
it's a start, at least

[rapid bough]

which means you're just all gas no brakes all the time

[wispy goblet]

it could also be that they feel like they can't balance out-of-stun damage well
which would be pretty damning for the gameplay variety
but

[rapid bough]

personally i find that pretty fun

the teams with the most frenetic gameplay right now are usually anomaly-based

i don't really get why that's something they would want to "fix" since i don't agree there's something wrong with it

if anything it's a nice and necessary change of pace to the attack/rupture dynamic of shoving 90% of damage into stun windows

[wispy goblet]

I'm inclined to agree
but their decisions so far, especially post-Miyabi, seem to me like they are trying to move away from that identity for Anomaly

[rapid bough]

and i'm saying i just don't really follow how you're making that assessment

whether it's disorder or abloom (which is really just fancy disorder), the basic gameplay pattern of all but mono-element teams (and even some of them like freeze comps) is to trigger as many anomalies, disorders, and ablooms as possible

every team does that in the same way: constant switching and spread application

that they've moved more of it off-field is just a well-known shift in their design philosophy to make gameplay feel more like you're playing an actual team that's working together

and on top of not really following where you see this shift happening, i don't buy that it's even necessary which makes me even more confused about you saying it's happening

as it stands there's basically only one place they could go with it, which is to make anomaly more stun-focused instead

which would destroy its unique gameplay pattern for... why? idk

[wispy goblet]

Grouping anomaly triggers, disorder triggers, and ablooms together undersells the shift in teambuilding encouraged by the devs increasing the anomaly threshold.
Before, it was a lot easier for a single character to hit the threshold by themselves, so you were encouraged run two anomaly characters with different attributes so you could benefit from the disorder damage. Miyabi then double-benefited from this because she also got stacks for her EBA.
Increasing the anomaly threshold for most bosses meant that cycling between two different attributes was slower, but it was much less impactful for teams with a single element. That's why the best non-Miyabi anomaly teams now are mono-attribute like Mono-Phys or Mono-Shock.
Looking at Vivian, her buildup is famously pretty underwhelming for an Anomaly agent, so you're not putting her on a team to disorder cycle aggresively. Her whole thing is triggering certain actions while anomaly is applied to benefit from her Ablooms, not cycling back and forth between attributes.

[rapid bough]

That's why the best non-Miyabi anomaly teams now are mono-attribute like Mono-Phys or Mono-Shock.

you lost me here, since this completely ignores the fact that the other elements don't have multiple options to even make mono-teams with

of course mono-phys is the best anomaly team in a world where the rotating anomaly shill boss is physical weak

[wispy goblet]

Miyabi teams aren't even true mono-attribute
Frost isn't Ice

[rapid bough]

i don't think mono-shock anomaly is better than any electric attack team for bosses that are electric weak, so idrc about that one

[rapid bough]

you said non-miyabi teams anyway so i wasn't counting her

unfortunately removing miyabi teams (you know, the ones that use the strongest anomaly character) is sort of funneling toward your conclusion

[wispy goblet]

we're about to find out
the upcoming Anomaly boss isn't Phys weak
and the alleged mechanics don't benefit Alice in any way (unless you do something really funny with Zhao and I'm pretty sure that's not even good)

memory serve me right
mono-phys is still really good against Bringer
the, uh, phys-resistant anomaly boss

[rapid bough]

mono-phys is just cracked in general solely on the basis of how alice and jane specifically interact, i don't think it being goated is indicative of any significant trend in their anomaly design

that's a team that outperforms full m6 miyabi teams with like... m2s on two of the characters

i don't recall full m0 mono-phys being significantly better than using vivian over jane, for instance

Looking at Vivian, her buildup is famously pretty underwhelming for an Anomaly agent, so you're not putting her on a team to disorder cycle aggresively. Her whole thing is triggering certain actions while anomaly is applied to benefit from her Ablooms, not cycling back and forth between attributes.
i genuinely think this is a meaningless distinction

you're cycling her in to apply her debuffs and build her resource

the effect on gameplay is the same as me doing something like switching to yanagi to EX to give miyabi stacks for her EBA

[wispy goblet]

Miyabi is a big part of my point
she is the most infamous disorder cycler and the developers are clearly trying to reign her in and that's usually done through anti-anomaly means
but she's a big overperformer not just off the back of disorders
(looking at you EBA3 having a higher multipler than Zhu Yuan's ult)
so I can't point to her 100% cleanly entirely
that's why I was pointing to Burnice earlier
if it was just about Miyabi being an overperformer, why also actively bury Burnice
surely they'd want to discourage Vivian usage, the more effective agent

[rapid bough]

why also actively bury Burnice
i already said this: shill new or rerunning toys

i certainly don't think it was a coincidence they reran vivi in 2.3, for instance

[wispy goblet]

I don't think that alone has enough explanatory power
Why would they then put Aria into the same class and attribute as Vivian
surely that would signal to Vivian havers that pulling Aria is a lower priority

[rapid bough]

not really if they have different play patterns (and i am fairly sure they do) and thus fill different roles

burnice and vivi have the same play pattern as off-field anomaly sub-DPS

[wispy goblet]

also Vivian's 2.3 rerun specifically feels like it really lacks explanatory power
this was already past Fiend's time as a constant DA appearance
and the 2.3 boss specifically was immensely anti-anomaly
2.4 would also be very anti-anomaly

[rapid bough]

i would be extremely surprised if at least one of the DA rotations in 2.3 didn't have miasmic fiend in it

[wispy goblet]

out of the three 2.3 DA cycles
one had Butcher (the first one, which should have been alongside the Vivian rerun I think)
and one had Fiend (the second one)

[rapid bough]

but more importantly, even if i grant you that burying burnice is unaccounted for, i still don't see the case for extrapolating that to just wanting to bury disorders in general

like literally what is the problem with disorder cycling

Miyabi is a big part of my point
she is the most infamous disorder cycler and the developers are clearly trying to reign her in and that's usually done through anti-anomaly means
they're trying to reign her in by killing freeze

she still fucking violently suplexes any even remotely anomaly-weak boss

i still use miyabi/yuzu/vivi all the time, it's my anomaly team of choice

you sound like the prydwen tier list writers who randomly downgraded miyabi as if her disorder-based gameplay pattern is any weaker than it once was against bosses not specifically made to be ultra shilled against anomaly (which fucks every anomaly character, not just disorder-centric play)

[rapid bough]

my other one is alice/yuzu/vivi btw

vivi in all things

[wispy goblet]

I'll admit I'm working with a pretty small sample size
the game is still pretty young
characters release fairly slowly
and if the pivot happened around where I think it happened, it happened very early in the game's life

[rapid bough]

also the supposition that they want to bury burnice as an early disorder cycler doesn't jive with them... yknow... buffing her (even if the buff wasn't all that good)

[wispy goblet]

hmmm yes
the not very good buff
what motivation could they have had to not give her a very good buff
especially if they didn't pivot her gameplay

[rapid bough]

that seems like a silly point, you're saying they hate disorder so they purposely sandbagged a burnice buff rather than just... not buffing her?

what about grace? she's favors mono-shock and her buff was also very mid

[wispy goblet]

Was it? I feel like I've heard significantly better things about Grace's buff as far as pushing her into relevance

[rapid bough]

if she's relevant i guarantee you that will last as long as us getting another limited electric anomaly

but i haven't heard anything about her being relevant anyway

nor mono-shock in general, really

it does the trick but i can't recall ever seeing it surpass better options without being overinvested relative to those options

[wispy goblet]

not for nothing
they gave Lycaon, widely considered the best pre-buff standard character, a pretty mediocre buff that seems to more justify the flavor of running him with his own sig than anything else
so you could argue there's now a pattern for them deliberately giving low-effect buffs

[rapid bough]

i mean the actual answer to my question for both grace and lycaon is: they're standard characters and their "buff" really was focused more on updating their play patterns to mesh with the game's evolved direction since their release

burnice didn't need a significant gameplay pivot because there's no issue with her gameplay

anyway fuck me it's 2:30am and i have work, and we're just talking in circles tbh

[wispy goblet]

g'night

[rapid bough]

it's a cool discussion on the potential future of ZZZ design for especially anomaly but i remain unconvinced that they have it out for disorder as a gameplay pattern

[wispy goblet]

I also have work in the morning... later today lamo

[rapid bough]

one day we'll get an crit-focused anomaly char that excels in the stun window and the game will implode on itself for lack of variety

[wispy goblet]

Aria M1 gives her crits on her anomalies

or her ablooms

[rapid bough]

jane does that at base, does this mean jane is better

[wispy goblet]

I forgor

I think it's anomaly because people explicitly make the comparison to Jane

[rapid bough]

there's actually a fair bit of interesting stuff they could do to make anomaly cool in stun window without just doing "crits go brrr"

e.g. drastically increased anomaly application + removed internal anomaly CD during stun or something

can you imagine dropping like 10 anomalies in a stun window? that'd be neat

[wispy goblet]

tbh if that Nangong leaked kit holds true
I imagine it has to have some kind of mechanic like bypassing ICD

[rapid bough]

it already sorta happened with alice's special assault so not surprising

mid or goated unfortunately 😔

keep in mind: nicole is next patch most likely and she'd be varka bis

so if ur getting him, keep that in mind cus that is just how genshin functions atm

well that said, skirk is also an escoffier merchant

[mortal iron]

i have escoffier just for skirk

then i ate shit and lost

so i only use escoffier for ayaka

And I spliced them together with half a heishou comp

So it was

Lobotomized 😏

[glossy latch]

Still no 5* in HSR 😔

I just want Yao Guang for Sampo

[glossy latch]

Also used up some Aurelyne for rolls ... didnt get anything there either

I dont think Endfield is surviving in my roster, tbh

[summer hornet]

Endfield is really fun

but I am not playing it every day

which, tbf, they do kinda account for

what with the 2x bonus you get for every day you miss (up to 3)

[glossy latch]

Im just not personally enjoying it enough to stick with it

The fact that pulling as f2p is going to be painful just helps make that decision easier

[silver osprey]

Well, we don't know that yet

[copper steppe]

from what i heard its considerably less f2p than normal arknights

in what extent i have no idea

[old galleon]

arknights is very f2p-friendly

one of the friendlier ones i've played

endfield, wouldn't be able to say

[runic ether]

i would comment...

but

it is me so ymmv

so far in endfield, i comfortably had the pulls for gilberta

and i'll have enough for yvonne

i feel like if the game can consistently give the resources to get say

1 6 star per patch cycle... thats probably more than fine

[long tree]

Endfield pulls are like, you'll definitely get who you want

But that's like 1 unit per patch

[glossy latch]

I assume its better if you get all the one-time stuff from Valley IV and Wuling (Which I havent) but

Problem is the repeatable sources seem quite low

I could be wrong, I havent played it that much and am kinda falling off of it anyway, just what I noticed

[runic ether]

it feels that way if u dont focus on the factory stuff

[glossy latch]

Does the factory give you repeatable sources of originium?

[runic ether]

yes for the most part? do u mean the dust or...? cus thats all mining

[slow raft]

atm you get 1900 oroberyl per week (3 and 1/6th of a pull)
and the first half of the endgame mode that lasts 28 days gives 1200 oroberyl (so 2 pulls)
assuming the second half stays the same, thats 10k oroberyl in 4 weeks which would be a nice round number so that seems reasonable
thats like 16 and a half pulls which is i think similar to what zzz gives in the same timeframe?
also ignoring the oroberyl you can get from the shop of course

obviously well have to see how it develops, what other modes will be added and such but atm i didnt struggle with pulling as a f2p (ignore the lucky gilberta, i didnt plan on pulling for her)

[glossy latch]

I see

Probably still not sticking with it tbh, but fair enough

[slow raft]

yeah thats understandable im also not exactly thrilled by the hoyo-esque pulling standards, esp after haveing experienced better, but ill stick with it for now

[silver osprey]

Yeah like I said before I'm not going to accuse the game of not being f2p friendly juuuust yet. At least not while we're not even done with the first patch of the game

[slow raft]

yeah id atleast wait until the initial bopost of stuff is done

[rapid bough]

looking like i was correct about this rating, but the gap between privaty and moran is much smaller than anticipated. looks more like privaty > moran >> zwei >>>>>>>> centi (rip until they fix her)

moran FI is better than expected and makes her a meta B1 even for PvE, especially in electric weak

so moran enjoyers are unexpectedly winning big

[wispy goblet]

tbh I'm not sure the fix will resolve the PvP nerf
Apparently her shield being deployed at round start is the problem
because it accelerates the enemy team's burst build

[rapid bough]

aye, poli apparently had the same issue

(and still does)

honestly didn't realize shields gave additional burst charge, very awkward

[rapid bough]

first pass at DA

can definitely improve butcher, didn't even get the full performance points there lol

probably could push 40k on creator too, i messed up the last rotation and ended up only getting half a YSG qingming state instead of a full one

i always tell myself i can 40k miasma priest but i think it's out of my reach until i get koleda's wengine for fufu to get an extra stun rotation in

[wispy goblet]

So Nangong's goal is for the team to trigger a total of five anomalies, disorders, and/or ablooms before stun ends

I have to reread to see if they all have to be in one stun window

[rapid bough]

cissia looks like an off-field sub DPS + elec/phys buffer

the S rank billy agenda is being maintained

[wispy goblet]

Nangong being pretty hard locked to Anomaly teams will make it hard to find space for her in my roster right away
But we may still waifu pull

[runic ether]

guess i should save this image for when she does get a chain attack set, surely it'll happen eventually

but some parts of it also rubbed me the wrong way and ||of fucking COURSE it ended with fractsidus pulling the "we got everything we wanted" card, i am so goddamn tired of that trope||

[digital marlin]

😔

I feel.like the previous two AoD were more focused on being a performance while Nangong is just more straight forward combat

[runic ether]

shes been characterized as their top their protector

[digital marlin]

Which makes sense since she's the one using a "proper weapon "

[rapid bough]

wuwa rinascita finale ||the entire "'all hope is lost" sequence where rover's seeing visions of everyone dying and reading the graves and has to be saved by galbrena really missed the mark for me and was honestly kind of frustrating. it basically required rover to turn into an idiot to play out the way that it did

there were like five distinct moments in dialogue before that during the quest that hammered home the "we believe in each other no matter what" theme, and then he seems some scary visions and ominous images (blatantly leviathan fucking with him) and basically immediately gives up? felt very hamfisted in service of paying off the gang coming in to save him, but there were like 10000 ways to do that that didn't turn him into a pumpkin out of nowhere||

||i can completely respect that they don't always want to make rover the sole savior, and i think it's great the ultimate fight pays off the "no one is in this alone, power of friendship" stuff really well. but rover is set up as the "harbinger of hope" and he's the first one to give up in the entire plotline lol wtf||

||augusta had some dialogue after their victory like "rover, you held on to hope and that's how we won" and i was thinking, "uhhh bro was gonna throw in the towel and lose everything until galbrena showed up to give him a pep talk and point out the obvious fact he was being manipulated by leviathan"||

||that entire sequence and into the final battle felt like great character moments for everyone except rover, who was borderline character assassinated by being made into a damsel in distress due to some spooky visions. fell very flat to me||

||on another note, galbrena being angel was a cool payoff too. i saw it coming from literally the very first (or maybe it was the second) flashback + dialogue that started with her saying she had just been in oak's hollow, but i appreciate they didn't beat you over the head with it. honestly didn't expect that piece of augusta's plotline to come back||

i will say that of the "climactic chapter finale"-type gacha stories i've played through that often involve all of the newest characters of their region banding together to beat the big bad, that rinascita one in wuwa probably did it the best. felt like it gave most of them time to breathe and that they were more than just setpieces to set up hype moments

it definitely curb stomps both of ZZZ's attempts at that so far (1.4 and 2.5), both the buildup and execution was way better

all told though, quite good and happy with it, ||even though rover turning into a hapless muppet and fractsidus once again proving they are the dictionary definition of "just according to keikaku" drives me up a goddamn wall. i want to punch cristoforo and his stupid smug fucking face so hard that he has to spend all his time writing a new script that can repair his skull instead of pulling more of his stupid bullshit||

anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk, wuwa continues putting out mostly bangers (still not over them fumbling the iuno story though)

[digital marlin]

Time for 3.0 for you

[rapid bough]

i've still got the closing chapters/epilogue of rinascita to go

and i technically already did half of 3.0, the part with lynae

i did some early access content before last patch ended just to make sure i could finish the limited time events and not miss out on the currency

the lynae story was quite good as well

[digital marlin]

Oh yeah. I remember now. I am curious to how that plays out from a beginner stand point

[rapid bough]

it stood out particularly well since i did it right after finishing the 1.0 story which was quite weak

doing 3.0 content right after 1.0 felt like playing a different game, the quality gap was crazy

[digital marlin]

That i can tell i still remember how bad most of 1.0 felt. I meant gameplay wise

[rapid bough]

nothing stood out to me as awkward jumping from 1.0 to 3.0, and major story quests have long since started giving you trial characters so being underleveled isn't an issue for progression

i will say that the hyvatia story boss took literal years off my life, i was not ready for how hard that thing whooped my ass

that probably remains the single most unsatisfying boss fight "victory" i've ever had in a game lol

since it doesn't let you lose, just reduces you to 1HP

honestly would've preferred that it killed me and forced me to retry and overcome by getting good

[digital marlin]

I meant Having instant access to the new region and skipping straight to it to do the story feel wilds for an open world game

[rapid bough]

if i had done it immediately (like before finishing 1.0) it probably would have felt very odd

[digital marlin]

Don't worry we have holograms to give us that experience

[rapid bough]

but the start of lahai-roi came across as mostly standalone, you didn't need much prior story context to follow what was going on

at the very least i didn't feel lost

so maybe less wild than you may think

also, open world or not, the different regions (huanglong/rinascita/lahai roi) are all fairly disconnected

[mystic python]

Yea I left at halfway through the Lupa story, and could start Chisa story -> 3.0 without continuing Rinascita

[rapid bough]

damn how you be leaving halfway through the lupa story

that's one of the best story sequences i've seen in the game so far imo

[mystic python]

I lost like 200 pulls getting Cart + her weapon and then the echo grind for her burnt me out

[rapid bough]

ah fair enough

gacha giveth and gacha taketh away

[rapid bough]

seeing lupa in the rinascita finale was like seeing a long-lost friend after she was inexplicably absent during augusta's chapter

if she hadn't been there i would've rioted

i believe in lupa supremacy

[mystic python]

o yea since you're well past it now, ig I can be a bit more specific on a couple parts I didn't enjoy during Rinascita: ||The build up of Cantarella as this extremely dangerous, conniving person, but she drops everything when we meet her and helps us in every way she can, and then after we stab Cartethyia/Fleurdelis and are about to mourn her death but before I can even start to process sadness the sentinel swings by and says "hey I got a revive for her dw about it"||

Ig those bits also contributed to the burnout a lil, story was kinda falling flat for me at that time

But it def got better afterward, significantly so in a couple places

[rapid bough]

||i quite liked cantarella, though maybe the cynic in me (who knew she was playable) never even considered the possibility that they'd make a gooner character like her anything less than prime waifu bait lol||

[mystic python]

Yea, it was just really a let down after every other character throwing themselves at us for so long

[rapid bough]

||i do agree the end to cartethyia's arc was a bit of "deus ex sentinel" stuff. obviously she was never going to truly die but they gave the equivalent of a snap of the fingers to full heal with no repercussions and that was jarring||

[mystic python]

||Yea, way too fast, and it felt like it came at 0 cost to us, the player||

[rapid bough]

confession is that i'm the mark for this sort of stuff, i play games like zzz/nikke/gfl2 after all. so this usually ends up a plus for me when it happens, assuming they don't come on hilariously strong to a level that it's offputting (looking at you camellya)

it's a double-edged sword though, it's what made the conclusion to iuno's story not sit well with me, since ||she's obviously down bad and one of the many characters who immediately trusts rover with every fiber of their being on first glance, but then the entire drama of her story is built on her lying to rover for no apparent reason and never apologizing for doing so. like, if you're gonna make these characters openly roversexual, don't make them do stuff that actively hurts rover without damn good reason||

basically, if not handled properly it can actually sabotage a character

[mystic python]

Sounds like I'm missing out on making myself mad by letting my sister play Iuno's story instead (since she likes her the most), but ultimately yea, kinda same reasoning with me and the above examples; there's just too big a disconnect between things sometimes, whether logical/pacing-oriented etc., something just feels missing/glossed over

People are cooking up theories about 3.2 story which'd be a good step in the opposite direction, and 3.1 first half's ending was really nice

[rapid bough]

i briefly went to the wuwa subreddit and realized what a huge mistake that was without being caught up to the story, but while i was there it was apparent that the 3.1 story was received very well

thats what the tounge model was for i guess

[digital marlin]

It was great probably one of my favorite story patches

[rapid bough]

i do think part of this is just that they insist on being all grand and mysterious where possible on all things involving sentinels, threnodians, rover's past, and the fractsidus

[mystic python]

I almost hated it, but then it saved itself decently. Pending later story to see if it's gonna all in on that, or pull back and be disappointing again

[rapid bough]

i'd be lying if i said i always knew 100% what was going on in the story at all times

[versed pawn]

just avoid the discussions subreddits

[rapid bough]

they get a bit lost in the sauce sometimes

[versed pawn]

probably true for every gacha game

[rapid bough]

definitely true

[mystic python]

Yea that too, I've gotten very familiar with it through Genshin

[rapid bough]

i was part of the ZZZ discussion subreddit for a bit and then went 2.5 came out they went off the deep end and i unsubbed lol

they REALLY hate ye shunguang there

[versed pawn]

mhh

[mystic python]

o boy it's keyword and proper noun spamming time, while we hint at things vaguely enough so we don't write ourselves into a corner later

[versed pawn]

theres is a big overlap of husbando mains on those sub usually

and they shit their bed on every female release

been like that forever

[digital marlin]

2.0 it felt disconnected at times and stuff kinda goes over your head with how much stuff goes on at times

Im not going to talk about 1.0 stories

[rapid bough]

1.0 story was a mess, but 1.1 (mt firmament) was very good imo

[versed pawn]

but as said current patch is really good

yeah 1.1 was neat personally

1.3 too

[digital marlin]

My firmament was easily the best part.

What was 1.3?

[rapid bough]

was 1.3 black shores?

[versed pawn]

shorekeeper

[digital marlin]

Yeah disagree there

[rapid bough]

i was fine with it but honestly it didn't sit super well with me

[versed pawn]

as for what i remember at least

[digital marlin]

Was.just going to mention it.

[versed pawn]

technically i mostly remember patches as a whole more so then just the story

believe it or not my most hated patch was still 2.3

[rapid bough]

that was probably the patch i've played so far that best encapsulates this issue i mentioned here

[digital marlin]

It felt like the someone put the story on 2x speed with pieces cut off

[rapid bough]

it felt like they tried to shove a fuckton of lore density into a single patch that was not nearly long enough to hold it

[versed pawn]

still have to 3.1 tho starting today i guess

decided to do zzz last weekend

[rapid bough]

like lupa story was 2 chapters long and that worked very well for it to sort out all the weird stuff that was happening

the shorekeeper storyline would've benefitted a lot from that same structure

[versed pawn]

im personally a hater of them doing mainstory continuations with a 3 week seperation in the same patch

[rapid bough]

i mean full disclosure i probably would hate that too lol

i have the benefit of being able to binge through it all right now

and it works really well in that context

though they've done complex long story chapters before

cartethyia was hella long and that was all one patch

[versed pawn]

mhh cartheyhias was like 5-6 hours right

i dont remember it being longer at least

[digital marlin]

I understand why you would be but I'm alright with it

[rapid bough]

sounds about right

[versed pawn]

generally to avoid spoilers

[rapid bough]

feel like individual story chapters are usually in the 3-4 hour range

[versed pawn]

i like to have it all otherwise i would wait 3 weeks into a patch and then paly it all at once

still having a hardtime to avoid spoilers for 3.1

[digital marlin]

The individual parts are long enough that feels like the old patches

[mystic python]

It's kinda just a 6 week release schedule but double tbh, but yea 3 weeks means there's twice as many chances to be unable to do a new story segment day 1, meaning double the chance to be spoiled

[versed pawn]

and as said im very pleased with the current zzz patch hope they can keep it up like that right now

[rapid bough]

i still need to play through the new ZZZ story

...and the new gfl2 story. and catch up to wuwa.

god what have i done to myself

[versed pawn]

i play 4 big gachas

well at least it doesnt get to dry in between because i have at least most of the time 1 story patch

[digital marlin]

Wuwa and zzz patches are to close together for me

[mystic python]

I'm on 3 gachas and it's already getting too much

Doesn't help that wuwa had a lot of catchup for me as well

[rapid bough]

yeah the biggest killer is catch up lol

individual story patches and content are a labor of several hours

catching up on multiple of those is a multi-day affair

[runic ether]

4 gachas is def a lot but i just periodically pay attention between them

what helps is a waning interest in genshin even tho i did like lantern rite/zibai this patch

for being an open world game... the latest region is wayyy too small

nod krai as a whole has been much too small to me i didnt expect natlan or sumeru type of big but like... it feels only a bit bigger than an area like enkanomiya or the chasm and these are sub areas to a main patch

also limbus is p good as a quick play type game

so i can focus on endfield + zzz more properly

[mystic python]

Yea, made worse by the compass basically finishing all exploration for you

Doesn't really leave much to actually explore

[runic ether]

tried not using it and it was still p easy to hit like 60%

at least the ost has not missed for exploring nod krai

[versed pawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tELS_xdqhLM&list=RDtELS_xdqhLM&start_radio=1

[runic ether]

lowkey... endfield music has been just okay

out of all the gachas i play... weakest soundtrack. still good but... im spoiled by genshin, zzz, and limbus

[versed pawn]

Gotta wait I guess

[digital marlin]

I'm tempted to post music from 3.1 eyes but I don't want to spoil Khaios

[mystic python]

If it's stuff with vocals, I think it hits harder if the first time you hear it is in-game anyway, so yea best to hold off

[glossy latch]

Ok at this point HSR is just mocking me >:[

Still no 5*

[sharp swan]

3.1 is good

Gotta be my fav patch now

[glossy latch]

||Well strictly speaking they didn't||

||Their plan failed, they just moved on to the next one rather than moping about it||

||But I will admit it isn't conveyed the best that that's what they were going for||

||This is a common issue with their writing of the Fractsidus sadly||

||But hey, glad you enjoyed the Rinascita finale, it was my personal favourite story in WuWa so far||

||idk, they literally say something along the lines of "we achieved all our objectives in huanglong and rinascita, time to move on to lahai-roi". and scar can't stop gushing about how cristoforo's script off without a hitch, exactly as planned ||

||i suppose it'd be more accurate to say that their plans are always set up in such a way that they always win. in rinascita, either they revive leviathan and drown rinascita in the dark tide, or leviathan is stopped which also serves their overarching goal which seems to be related to breaking humanity free of the yoke of sentinels/threnodians and letting them seize their own destiny. narratively the writers seem to be going for the "they're not strictly evil" angle (which i don't buy, or at least i think their means designate them as quite evil regardless of how noble their goals are), but their developing motivations are at least interesting. i'm just very sick of this rigamarole where everything rover & co do plays into their hands regardless of outcome. ironically, despite their whole "overcome fate" shtick, they are operating like fate would, stringing the story along on a predestined path to serve their own mysterious ends||

[glossy latch]

||Wasnt it more along the lines of "we accomplished what we could, now its time to move on"?||

[rapid bough]

||that's not what i remember hearing, i remember it being very explicitly about them accomplishing everything they set out to do||

[glossy latch]

Ah no, youre right

||I do think its because their goals are flexible and either outcome works for them but, yeah, I can see how it would be annoying||

[rapid bough]

||even an offhanded comment to the effect of "well it's not the optimal result, but we still got the bare essentials to move forward" would go a long way||

||some indication, any at all, that anything rover & co did represented a significant setback. otherwise it just feels like we're shadowboxing||

[glossy latch]

Yeah I can see that

[rapid bough]

||they're basically the kings of "i'm playing both sides so i always come out on top" lol||

[glossy latch]

Mmh

[slow raft]

||This is how the exhaltists felt in zzz to me, back when i still played||

[rapid bough]

||i mentioned that they reminded me of the exaltists during my last wuwa story rant lol

imo fractsidus are actually way worse about it though, but they have the benefit of actually having good/interesting characters so my investment in them isn't completely blown||

||also, at least the wuwa story is putting in some legwork to portray the fractsidus with arguably noble goals even if their means suck ass. they never got that far with the exaltists, they were just crazy assholes who wanted everyone to be "refined" into ethereals||

[glossy latch]

Maybe theyll be better about it in Lahai-roi

I havent gotten that far yet

I think it also helps that the Fractsidus are basically the secondary antagonists, whereas the Exaltists were the primary ones

[rapid bough]

it really doesn't feel like they're secondary antagonists even if it's technically true (since what we're always actually fighting is the threnodians)

since while stopping the threnodian is our ultimate goal every time, the fractsidus are literally always on some accelerationist bullshit forcing us to hurry and narrowly avert disaster. basically every imminent calamity we encounter is their fault

[glossy latch]

Overall overarching, usually secondary

[glossy latch]

That is true though

Also if you want a faction like the Fractsidus but they actually suffer setbacks and show it, can I interest you in a game series called "Trails"

[long tree]

Two characters with the exact same demographic

but even for filling out my roster i'm struggling since pulling current limited characters puts me into an "oops! all fusions!" scenario lmao

[digital marlin]

Oh yeah forgot to.mention that

i guess chisa isn't fusion, but i also don't have any of her ideal team members yet

[glossy latch]

Aemeath is one of them lmao

[rapid bough]

rover (fusion), just what i need, another fusion option

[glossy latch]

Hey that means you can run Chisa Aemeath and mono fusion Galbrena

[rapid bough]

missing out on lynae really sucks for my aemeath team options

[glossy latch]

Eh, you have Lupa

Just gotta find a good third fusion unit

[digital marlin]

Hes has moryne

[rapid bough]

yeah i have a perfectly fine mono fusion team with aemeath/lupa/mornye

my issue is that i only have one lupa and infinite fusion characters lol

if i had lynae i could run aemeath/lynae/mornye and use lupa elsewhere (like w/ galbrena)

oh well, standard struggles of having an incomplete roster since i just started

[glossy latch]

Fair

[rapid bough]

galbrena at least looks like a pretty self-sufficient character that can work just fine with standard supports like shorekeeper

so may just end up doing mono fusion aemeath, and "standard goodstuff" galbrena with like... galbrena/shorekeeper/mortefi

[glossy latch]

Would work I suppose

[rapid bough]

guess i'm not pulling any sigs like i thought i would

just gonna save for galbrena

and switch standard weapon banner to the 3.0 pistols for her

[glossy latch]

Or you could just get it twisted

[slow raft]

honestly, as much as i despise weapons in gacha, im glad that endfields weapon banner is entirely seperated from the character banner and you can just buy weapons outright with the weapon pull currency

[rapid bough]

i mean i probably could pull for them, it's not as if i don't still have a ton of pulls banked across all the content i still have to clear

[glossy latch]

Plus next patch I figure youre skipping

[rapid bough]

who's releasing next patch, do we even know

i know i want ms. academy president, whenever she releases

lucilla i think her name is?

[glossy latch]

Sigrika (the redhead), and Qiuyuan and Phoebe reruns

[rapid bough]

ah

yeah that's probably a skip

though qiuyuan is admittedly badass

i'm a sucker for the blind swordmaster archetype

also isn't qiuyuan one of galbrena's BIS teammates lol

[glossy latch]

-ish

He's the best standalone character but the mono-fusion shell is probably a touch stronger

But if you want to have another team that isnt mono-fusion

Yeah hes a fair pick

[rapid bough]

eventually my roster will be such that aemeath won't be locked to mono fusion and free lupa up for galbrena so i probably won't worry about it

[glossy latch]

Up to you

[rapid bough]

on the subject of pulling for sigs, is there any particularly splashable sig among those available on this starter banner

selectable sigs are: shorekeeper, camellya, jinhsi, changli, jiyan, yinlin, zhezhi, xiangli yao

i'm reading yinlin's sig (stringmaster) is one of the best generic rectifiers for DPS

but not sure it's worth pulling just for that since i'm not even sure how many DPS rectifiers i'll be using any time soon lol, i basically only have encore and i think she's getting shelved as soon as i get galbrena

[glossy latch]

Yinlin is the obvious one thats generic, yeah

Changlis might be fine

Realistically Id say just save for the time being, you get a guaranteed weapon on any weapon banner

[digital marlin]

I feel.like EoG serves fine for a generic sword thought

[glossy latch]

So theres not really any reason to pull on this over the actual signature for a character for the time being

[rapid bough]

yeah that's what i was thinking

might just yoink aemeath sig and save for galbrena

in fact yolo that is what i have decided to do as of this moment

i was hoping to follow that up with dropping a multi on aemeath sig and ripping it immediately but it was not to be

[glossy latch]

You are not Misty after all

[digital marlin]

Not with that attitude

Youre gonna make me pull for Aemeath at this rate smh

[slow raft]

Oh ive also dropped hsr, but for different reasons

[rigid pilot]

Also Planarcadia just sounds so boring. None of the characters appeal to me right now it's kind of wild. Logging in daily is something only FGO earns

[glossy latch]

Ironically its the opposite for me, Im kinda excited for Planarcadia

... though I have yet to actually do the story lmao

[digital marlin]

Same

[rigid pilot]

It is somewhat hard to be excited when they have failed to land the ending of a story well for the past... I'd say three stories. But the setting feels like retreads Penacony anyways which I definitely didn't enjoy

[digital marlin]

I do t think the characters for 4.0 do anything for me yet.

[glossy latch]

Oh Im sure they could fuck it up again

Tbh the characters are eh

I like Ashveil

Im hoping for Sampo SP

[digital marlin]

I can understand that I just go in hoping g they learn from the mistakes and can do better next one

[rigid pilot]

Like I give FGO benefit of doubt a lot because they've handled their stories so well many times even if they have some slop event stories where nothing happens and Agartha

But Hoyo has in four stories told me... very little and with rather poor endings. I get it... kinda? Early enough gacha... FGO was far from perfect earlier on too.

But at that point... I'll just come back later

[idle grove]

helped that nasu came on to fgo to write some bangers

[rigid pilot]

True!

[digital marlin]

I personally belive there was alot of His and Lo patches for last year but they at least had enough good stories for me to continue believing

[rigid pilot]

Though I'd say even back during... Okeanos... the story was for sure picking up.

[idle grove]

oh definitely

[rigid pilot]

Nasu helping later was just icing on the cake.

[idle grove]

I think it would have been good regardless but nasu really gave it that kick from great into amazing with lb6

their tendency to never lose feels a bit more genuine thanks to them having slightly different goals in the end which helped for jia huan/gubo fraud duo and the fact that hermann is legit a step ahead the whole time and we get to see her in said spot.

also

canto 6, 8, 9 spoilers in respective spoiler marks
canto 6||getting to see asaeah and nelly succeed in getting the bough at the end points to their victory for instance and how more or less that canto was orchestrated by hermann and she gained not only knowledge but a bough and a new competent ally.||

canto 8 ||meanwhile, gubo and jia huan got mogged by the sinners but... they did manage to get to their goal in the end even if their route was clearly flawed in their attempt to get it. and we later learn that nelly and ahab were probably moving mountains to help them from the outside ala lccb||

canto 9||and the final scene of canto 9 showcasing that even tho they are "winning" they still need to be careful with other powerful groups in the city which scales them in perspective too. they are... very likely, around our own level right now too. which means that just like us, they need to maneuver carefully around the actually powerful groups/individuals in the city and they are being written to keep up on sheer planning and hermann's intellect||

Wait is Galbrena this patch?

[digital marlin]

Phase 2

[glossy latch]

@rapid bough Im sorry to say it, but you are cooked

[rapid bough]

i knew galbrena was this patch lol

that's what i was talking about when i said i'd pull for aemeath sig then save for galbrena

since i still have a shitton of unclaimed event/exploration pulls

[glossy latch]

Ooooh

Well then youre less cooked

Did you get the signature?

[digital marlin]

Khaios is fine

My ass is cooked though

[glossy latch]

See thats why I skipped Aemeath for Luuk

Now Im not cooked

[mystic python]

🤝 Cooked if we try and pull for Galbrena gang

[rapid bough]

not yet, but i'm not really worried

[wispy goblet]

I'm thinking they rerun Miyabi with Nangong
and Caesar with SBilly
this is increasing my pull demand significantly

[neon ore]

I was pretty dissapointed that I ramdomly got Fine Motion twice even tho I never really liked her, nut then I remembered Air Shakur is part of her story so everything is worth it

im sorry Oven

[wispy goblet]

spitballing my pull plans

• Nangong (waifu 5, lighten Yuzuha burden)
• Caesar (waifu 9)
• Promeia (tentative waifu 7)

[rapid bough]

something i'm not clear on since i don't have the free waveplates to be farming echos yet (everything toward ascending characters/weapons atm)

what actually is the difference between a nightmare and non-nightmare version of an echo

[glossy latch]

I mean thats fine so far, Resonance Liberation isnt her best stat

[glossy latch]

Theyre basically just two different echoes using the same model (The nightmares have a filter over it)

Its mostly used for the old tacet discord nests

[rapid bough]

i see, so devs making new echoes in the laziest way possible

[wispy goblet]

Do they get any mechanical changes?

[glossy latch]

I think they have different activated skills, and different bonuses as part of their skills?

[wispy goblet]

Do they change the best teams to fight them?

If they do
Nangong-Miyabi
Cissia-Caesar
I will have to make decisions

[old galleon]

been getting a lot of elzion pcd runs lately

[long tree]

people are genuinely tweaking about endfield not having endgame off the bat

Mf go farm the chests and aurelyne if you need something to do this is not yet a problem

[runic ether]

thats part of the problem. some mfers played the current full game in the first 2 days

[slow raft]

im gonn be honest

if you have endgame ready gear by this point

you are not well

ive heard people complain that the gearing system sucks cause artificing components are limited and have a wekly refresh

people actually begging for rng stats on gear pieces because they cannot handle slow and steady progression like dude chill out

the only endgame available rn is soloable by 4 stars, take your time

[old galleon]

i'm already not playing endfield bc my current computer can't handle it and i don't yet desire to try it on tablet; making rng stats on gear would just kill what desire i do have to try it out eventually

[runic ether]

it really plays much better than i expected on mobile

[slow raft]

^

[long tree]

It has 1 gear farming thing where you have a weapon passive core that buffs the passives on your weapon, its just a matter of matching those passives to your weapon

Its a little annoying but the farming is a lot easier than other games

[slow raft]

especially cause you can get selectors for them

i still gonna do em last but

[runic ether]

doing factory set ups is also more of the endgame for me atp

[toxic cloud]

I dont actually get how ppl nolifed the entire game in 2 days

ive been playing for like 2 weeks and I'm barely past tutorial IV

[runic ether]

unlocked power plateau too so now i just gotta waste time running cables

Reminds me I still gotta optimise my valley iv layout

That's all that matters; I'm edging closer to the event horizon of "main story only" myself lol

[runic ether]

you're edging??

[summer hornet]

I am MOVING CLOSER TO

[summer hornet]

I do play Endfield! But I'm kinda... Casual with it lol

Haven't played it in like a week because I'm doing seasonal stints with HSR and Nikke

But once the Lycoris Recoil collab is over and I either win or lose the 50/50 for Cerydra I'll come back to it more consistently

Not every day, but every other day or so

My tablet has Limbus, Arknights, HSR, Nikke, G Gen Eternal and Endfield on it

I can't consistently play all those every day

And even then, Endfield is just a more active game- can't really "auto" anything

[rapid bough]

why did they randomly make 100%ing this specific zone have absolutely zero leeway, you have to literally 100% every part (all the other zones i've done give some allowance for like 80% supply chests and 100% everything else)

[glossy latch]

Not a fucking clue lmao

(It is indeed annoying)

2 things i always leave this for the back burner when im low on pulls

it doesn't quite reach the same ceiling but it is safe and simple as fuck to run

it probably affects my pulling plans... i haven't watched edgerunners but i'm a collector and will feel obligated to pull for units that will likely never come back

Im a bit confused at all the people angry on twitter that they are releaseing sinking/poise ids during "burn season". Did i miss something? When was this season said to be a "burn season"?

[runic ether]

no ppl are just delusional thinking it would be a burn season

[mental acorn]

3 was poise, 4 sinking, 5 bleed, 6 rupture, so surely 7 would be the burn season, trichiliocosm even inflicts it

we have got some good images out of it though

I’m the fool and the clown who bet on a burn season

a post on the nikke subreddit reminded me

nikke c44 spoilers ||i genuinely hate liveryn so much. i honestly think i hate her more than crow. at least crow knows she's awful and admits what she does is fucked up, she's just a psychopath anarchist who wants to watch it all burn. liveryn meanwhile is on like five different layers of denial and wants to do anything to avoid the consequences of her actions and perpetually plays the victim. fragile was a real one for jumping her and getting some punches in, if i were the commander i would've been cheering her on instead of breaking it up||

[versed pawn]

on the point where the lootmapper is should be a npc quest i think with those relay towers arround the huanlong if u activate them he spawns chests if i remember correctly

its probabaly also your missing quests

[rapid bough]

supply chests are definitely the smallest increment of exploration%, they're for rounding out the last 20 or so % after doing all the other stuff like quests, caskets, etc

of course they also have pull currency so i neurotically try to get all of them despite it being certifiably insane behavior to try and do so (in huanglong at least)

Poor Alice

[slow raft]

i can fw it sometimes but hoyoverse has a terminal case of doing the same design over and over

[glossy latch]

True!

[runic ether]

and u just know she's never gonna be playable cus her top is too covered up

[slow raft]

kinda reminds me of that one bartender lady on penacony that mogs at least half the cast of that planet disastrously but will never be playable

[glossy latch]

God I am mad about that

Siobhan is one of their best designs

[slow raft]

true!

[runic ether]

she was doomed from the start

[slow raft]

like i def have a type but you cannot tell me that shes not smoking hot

[glossy latch]

One of the rare Hoyo characters that I think is very attractive yes

She also has a nice voice

[pastel bear]

blue archive halo so she was an automatic disqualification for me

but I can see it

[runic ether]

its wild to me that they got xiao's (genshin) va to voice her when he is one of their most popular characters of all time and then... never released her

[slow raft]

i tell you, someone high up at hoyo is deathly scared of women in pants

[glossy latch]

Also not shocked to find out that she is very popular with the lesbians

At least if the comments under a video of her introduction are to be believed

[slow raft]

because of the whole your girlfriend telling you that you have the same taste in women as a lesbian thing or smth else?

[runic ether]

nah she is extremely popular with women

[glossy latch]

Actually its the fact that shes a bartender

[slow raft]

doesnt suprise me yea

[runic ether]

the halovians (iirc) are an angel-like species in hsr which is again p funny how its supposed to be a galaxy-wide setting and yet they all look humanoid

[slow raft]

not to do the same rant again but hsr still having no non-humanoid playable chars is such a waste

[runic ether]

set up for a comedy sketch: tell the playerbase the game will be intergalactic in setting
introduce zero non-human playable characters

[slow raft]

entire setting of hsr couldve been done in the city and it wouldnt have lost anything of value really

[runic ether]

it couldnt

[glossy latch]

Tbh I am not even as bothered by them all being humanoid, its the fact that theyre basically all humans with extremely minor differences

Like Svarog is humanoid but at least hes cool

[runic ether]

because a distortion would be way too inhuman for the design

[slow raft]

i mean in like

the same space

[runic ether]

oh

yeah

probably lol

[slow raft]

the planets might as well be districts

[glossy latch]

Basically

[runic ether]

even then i think the city has significantly more alien-like variety than anything hsr has made

[glossy latch]

I mean it clearly worked for them given the amount of money HSR makes but like

Really?

[slow raft]

i hear youre getting an actual robot this time!
i had to be told she was a robot because you can barely see it lol

[runic ether]

she also had a killer suit she was wearing that she took off for the same hoyo dress yet again

[slow raft]

[glossy latch]

Youre gonna have to state which game specifically you mean lmao

[runic ether]

[runic ether]

we've known this

[slow raft]

like herta

[glossy latch]

Huh

I didnt

I will say, for all the shit I give HSR

THerta is still a banger design

[runic ether]

ineffa is the most robot-like girl they've ever made

and thats kind of sad

[slow raft]

big hat™ is great

[glossy latch]

Big hat™ was obligatory

But I like her design even beyond that

[slow raft]

the thing is that they dont even have like
an excuse for it

[glossy latch]

The key and lock motifs are great, the hands as a general magical motif are also quite creatively used and shes got a great colour scheme

[slow raft]

becuase there are sentient robots in the setting

[runic ether]

i like acheron the most out of hsr's designs by far

[runic ether]

no yeah and ineffa makes perfect sense in genshin's sense but hsr has literal living robots

[glossy latch]

For me its Svarog

Then THerta

Then ...

[slow raft]

limbus atleast has the ai ethics amendment so we cant have true robots

[glossy latch]

Sam kinda? I guess?

Barely a rider but good enough

[slow raft]

sam

[glossy latch]

Or Anaxa

Oh and Phainons ult is cool tbh

But most of them are just

Idk, kinda eh

[runic ether]

for me its probably acheron > aglaea > therta > phainon

[glossy latch]

Svarog still mogs everyone though ngl

[runic ether]

i would have loved feixiao if designed properly

idm the shorts

[glossy latch]

Actually sick robot design

[runic ether]

just give her fucking abs

svarog actually looks great yea

i dont count him as playable entirely but i do like his look

[pastel bear]

not a single glup shitto in sight

[slow raft]

is there even a lore explanation why nobody has abs in hsr?

[glossy latch]

Also will say, Genshins characters lately have had lower lows but higher highs too tbh

Flins actually made me consider returning

[runic ether]

mydei took all the abs

[glossy latch]

As did Illuga

[slow raft]

greedy ass

[glossy latch]

... Illuga moreso from a "oh hes very cute" perspective

[runic ether]

yeah thats how it feels for genshin as a whole rn lol

illuga is very pretty no yeah

i was surprised he was a 4 star

insane facecard

[glossy latch]

I was surprised he is canonically an adult

I figured they'd make him a minor as well lmao

[runic ether]

we have very very few minors in genshin

off the top its p much just... klee, sayu, and yaoyao

[glossy latch]

Mika?

[runic ether]

nope

he's employed

[glossy latch]

... huh

[runic ether]

same with diona

[glossy latch]

Ok but that could still be child labour

[runic ether]

she's a bartender

mondstat had laws around that iirc

[glossy latch]

Huh

[runic ether]

its the city of freedom but its stated somewhere they need to be of age to work

[glossy latch]

But yeah idk, WuWa is the only one whose designs I consistently think are decent at worst

[runic ether]

knights of favonious specifically

[slow raft]

god remeber when people were calling sinclair a minor?

[glossy latch]

Of the ones I've played that is

[slow raft]

hes just a very angry short german man alright

[runic ether]

oh i count nahida as a minor even if shes over 500 and very wise

[slow raft]

doesnt make him underage

[runic ether]

because she is baby

but even then i saw on his file that it says he was an adult

[runic ether]

i dont remember this
