Punishing: Gray Raven

[supple vine]

im in the inbetween

[flat jolt]

I c

[sand verge]

I dunno what Im doing but bianca is really fun to play

should I upgrade liv's skills?

[tribal iron]

zooming

i think liv's skill is good to level up i think? @proven marten master

[sand verge]

it just upgrades her damage doesnt it

and not any support output

[tribal iron]

well i ran out of stamina (have more ofc) but im sleepy

[sand verge]

I played a bunch of the other chars in tutorial mode but they're not nearly as flashy lol

[proven marten]

the orb skills? if you ahve the stuff to spare sure, but i'd only level her red orb. thats the one she uses on switch anyway. level her QTE and other stuff tho

but yellow, blue and basic atk can be ignored for now

[proven marten]

wait you got balter?

when

wut

what did i miss

and you got her wep too

[sand verge]

nothing, I just skipped ahead in line a bit

[proven marten]

wow

that capped ass stamina tho

my eyes

[proven marten]

meaning?

oo

[tribal iron]

🐳

[proven marten]

no you didnt

you did?

how much

[sand verge]

no

[proven marten]

good

[sand verge]

pretty sure you can fill in the blanks

if I say I didnt whale

[proven marten]

you sacced

on both?

or this is not your acc

[tribal iron]

furiHUH

[proven marten]

or someone else whaled for you

slash's secret sugar mommy

[sand verge]

I obtained a starter account

[tribal iron]

i just got camuu

[supple vine]

ariel do i want to scrap or recycle junk memory

[proven marten]

obtained?

as in bought or someone just gave it away? 😄

[tribal iron]

well

💳

[proven marten]

but he said he didnt whale

[tribal iron]

i assume

[proven marten]

buying a starter acc with balter

is whaling

[proven marten]

you can recycle anything 4* and below

[sand verge]

I dont think I paid very much for it

[proven marten]

how much

[sand verge]

so is it really whaling

30 usd

[proven marten]

sure it's whaling

😄

but good choice

[sand verge]

it had a 6 star selector ticket I used on liv as well

[tribal iron]

damn i got a dev account 💀

[proven marten]

it should have another one

in the guide section

[tribal iron]

my game bugged

[sand verge]

it does

the account is low level

[proven marten]

pick rigor from it

[sand verge]

no

[proven marten]

and you got ur meta team

[supple vine]

just makeing sure it was recycle and not scrap

[sand verge]

gonna play this purely on what I find fun

[proven marten]

i actually dunno

[supple vine]

ive see nough people scrap dupe weps in hi3

and not convert

[sand verge]

I saw bianca on youtube and immediately knew what I wanted

[proven marten]

heh

what is that oo

if not her only tank option

esp that u can get her lance too

from the last selector in guide reward track

[sand verge]

where do I see those rewards again

the menu is so confusing

[proven marten]

main screen

on the bottom

theres goal and guide icon

[sand verge]

why are there 2 guide buttons

one labeled collab subtext tho

[proven marten]

cuz one is the mentor system

the other is the beginner stuff

and this one is brand new

came with this patch

[sand verge]

so this one

[proven marten]

yeah

rigor is the best pick there

followed by laurel

and plume

everything else in there is already ded

or close to dying

[sand verge]

I tried laurel and she felt alright

[proven marten]

laurel is great

she's dying next july

[sand verge]

lemme try rigor

[proven marten]

dont let her gameplay deter you

shes not on field much

her role is just to switch in, cast a 3 orb to proc her passive

do big shot

into ult

and swap out

and she gets MUCH better with SS and especially leap

leap changes her so much

she does feel a bit clunk before that

but hey she has raiden VA

i suggest picking her + her wep

[sand verge]

I like the mech aesthetic

[proven marten]

good

for dark team you can put together a decent team from just A ranks

the triple A rank dark team is the best beginner team there is rn

and u can get all 3 of them from the base banner

and the 2 A rank selectors

they consist of astral watanabe, vera rozen and XXI

luna is great and i'd tell you to pick her if you didnt have balter but you do and luna's nearing 2 yrs old

and she already has her replacement coming in july

https://tenor.com/view/lamia-lamia-pgr-gif-17066223880653083005

in the form of our troubled dark mermaid

[sand verge]

ok rigor is really neat

[proven marten]

pog

im glad

rigor also deals considerable amount of damage

probably the 2nd most damaging tank after garnet

then it's settled. make sure to pick up her 6* signature from the last selector aswell ^^

now go rush to lv 40, clear 5-7 and farm the event for their gear

we have 1 week left, shoudl be enough time to get the entire team geared

with all the tons of serum pots we get as beginners

[sand verge]

gonna play friday and weekend, sleep time now and not home tomorrow

[proven marten]

just dont keep ur stam capped pls

u can clear whatever materal stage once

and then swipe all ur stam on it with one click

better than nothing ig

if you get a mentor lv40 should be a matter of hours

with the collab missions

so u could swipe it on the event even

[sand verge]

the inspiration from fate saber alter is pretty obvious on this

or rather a ripoff

[proven marten]

yeah

tho story and personality-wise shes definitely more of a jeannu than saber

but at this point ripping off saber isnt even a crime in my eyes

shes such a big part of anime popculture

it's like doing jojo references

[proven marten]

one man

vs everybody

camu is pretty cool ngl

and covered the dark weather nicely for ppc

and im happy with the top 3 server rank

[sand verge]

[naive night]

Whel

That 3rd guy

[supple vine]

man getting ajusted to the dodge limit is rough

cant spam that shit like in hi3

[supple vine]

its like early gold mald in hi3 all over again

[sage quail]

Selym you still play pgr ? 😮

[supple vine]

yea

fucking ariel draged me back in

[sage quail]

no way you got succed into 😔

Ariel is a bad influence you should have known better selym 😭

[supple vine]

[sage quail]

I say this as i reinstall pgr a 3rd time to try again 🤡

[supple vine]

idk im having more fun now

espcealy bc im at the point where i can start building twards real teams

[sage quail]

I would be if the controller keybinding wouldn't be so ass

[supple vine]

jokes on you mouse and keyboard is equaly ass on all gacha games

[sage quail]

that's why i don't like playing mk

also they have a ps5 controller keybind setting

yet they can't bind the correct buttons i press on my ps4 controller

which is basically nearly the same

[supple vine]

you dont notice the pain if you are always in pain

dw im like aiur tho

rts gamer

press numbers like its nothing

[sage quail]

You know what they say, third time's a charm maybe i'll stick at the 3rd installation ??

[supple vine]

this is my 3rd time too i think

[sage quail]

lmaoo

[supple vine]

3 times is what it took for hi3 iirc

for me

[sage quail]

But i really want to make my controller work in there because in no way i'm playing a ported gacha on mk that isn't genshin

[marble mauve]

I feel like I gotta make a new account if I wanna play again

But missing muh first Alpha

I think I got her weapon too

Also the dark Watanabe

[supple vine]

ok ive got 4 of the teams, now i need to build them

[proven marten]

go go

fire is sad but the rest looks good to me

[sage quail]

3rd time is the charm

Maybe ill like it but that all depends on controller binding 🥲

[tribal iron]

[flat jolt]

Don’t worry, im also struggling

When’s the next banner?

[proven marten]

the next new S rank banner?

december

hyperlee

bambi is coming next patch but she's an A rank

and we get her for free as with every A rank

[tribal iron]

i want lee

give lee

or i make you lee

[flat jolt]

Lee is le skip

[proven marten]

why would you skip lee?

you are a liv simp

empyrea needs a dps 😄

[flat jolt]

I don’t care about the team as long as I have liv

But if that is true, I’ll do a 10 pull

That’s all I got anyways

Unless pgr provides me with more ammo

[flat jolt]

My brain is lagging

[proven marten]

it's in december boo

you have time to get 60 and guarantee him

[flat jolt]

Ah then I guess that’s fine

Just gotta grind the dailies

[proven marten]

and the weeklies

gogo

[supple vine]

fire is playable, its like the super boomer/budget team or something

[proven marten]

yea it's boomer

but u cna upgrade in dec

[supple vine]

im quite meh on lee as a charecter so far

[proven marten]

ic

[supple vine]

watanabe is the only dude ive liked so far i think

ive not hated the other ones yet tho

[proven marten]

lee is HOT

blonde blue eyes

im sold

😄

and that protective daddy movef

with his victory pose

uuuuh

https://tenor.com/view/pgr-punishing-gray-raven-lee-hyperreal-gif-18347860204821277198

[supple vine]

yea

[proven marten]

ugh

this is just

doin it for me hard

the bigass sniper rifle is also cool

[supple vine]

i knew he was ariel bait

[proven marten]

i didnt like his pistol playstyle

[proven marten]

nono the ariel bait was balter

balter playstyle is peak

and i love a dudu clone

actually screw that

the ariel bait was the combat 😄

[supple vine]

ill find a waifu eventualy

dont you fret

they will show up one of these days

[solid thorn]

balter with her weapon is even smoother, i hope you got it ariel

being able to go into her aerial as soon as you swap to sword form is so good

[proven marten]

yeah i got it

[solid thorn]

[tribal iron]

whale

[proven marten]

it was a 10pull

...

[tribal iron]

susge

[supple vine]

@proven marten how much does it matter what slots the memories are in

as long as the sets are corect

[proven marten]

stats

and shareability

i made a post about this before alrdy

[proven marten]

#1165768674913820773 message

[supple vine]

ok

was just wondering bc i have the corect sets for most of the units just not the right order

[proven marten]

order matters for sets you plan on sharing

mainly dv sets

and some of the tank sets

and i guess dpses too for the 2pc generic dps piece

lwh in case of bianca

those go bottom always cuz those can be shared to future phys unit

[tribal iron]

lost the 80% like 2 times now

[vagrant vine]

Who are you rolling for?

[tribal iron]

forgot her name

the dark tank

[proven marten]

XXI

at least I hope to god you are rolling for her on the A rank banner

and this 80% isnt you trying to hack arrival banner

@tribal iron

[tribal iron]

i didnt know chrome was on banner

[proven marten]

YOU DIDNT SWAP THE RATEUP???????

oh lord

[tribal iron]

no no

the joke is that i was pretending that i was pulling on the 6* chrome

[proven marten]

i cant

it's fkin 4am

[supple vine]

[proven marten]

i have to fkin sleep

[tribal iron]

i did change it to XXI

[proven marten]

truly

this fkin game is keeping me up

[tribal iron]

truly an addict

[proven marten]

hit the iron while it's hot

or something

[supple vine]

go to bed

[proven marten]

yeah yeah

im goin

gn malders

[tribal iron]

ariel gonna wake up behind me

[proven marten]

you wish

[supple vine]

ariel has one of the worst sleep scheudals of anyone ive seen

or seems to at least

[proven marten]

im usually a good boy

and up till 2am

then sleep till 8-9

then work

but these past days with pgr and now r99 giving me shit to be excited about

not easy

[vagrant vine]

I'm a 2 am sleeper too

[proven marten]

but ye im really off

baibai

[rigid kelp]

https://youtu.be/pvRBLNsf0gM?si=kIl66aYG9-pCtn3P

[sage quail]

8 more levels until getting the last 10 pulls for that 40 pity s rank

Slowed down so hard when I hit lvl 40 i- 💀

[solid thorn]

oh thats cute but...goth mommy

decisions decisions

@rigid kelp i'm waiting for this one personally

gonna take a while

[rigid kelp]

That's a cool skin too

I'm tempted to save for bianca skin but that means losing on alpha

[solid thorn]

you know what to do Tia

[rigid kelp]

I don't wanna whale that much

[solid thorn]

its just 1 skin, its not that much

cave in

[proven marten]

balter skin hands down

we go for that

[rigid kelp]

give me the money

then i will

[solid thorn]

[rigid kelp]

XDDD

[solid thorn]

i need to buy my own duh

[flat jolt]

HOLY SHIT PGR HAS ENGLISH VOICE ACTING

THATS KINDA HYPE

well that’s my highlight of the day… at approximately an hour ago at 0730 hours

[solid thorn]

@proven marten 4 more resonances to go till all my balter resonances are her BiS

then i gotta hypertune all of them

gonna be a while

[proven marten]

idk shit about resonances yet

i gotta farm together AAA dark team

and lightning taem

before i think about reso

[solid thorn]

each memory has 2 resonance slots and you can resonate with either a dupe of that memory or a rather limited item that lets you choose which resonance you want

if you resonate using a dupe the skill is random

and theres like 8 possible results

so 12.5% chance

its why i'm doing this now while her memories are cheaper on the event store

wanted to get at least her 4-set resonances done

[proven marten]

aha

makes sense ig

i'll farm together the 2 other team

and then i can try to get her dupes for reso

[flat jolt]

I was so fixated on doing the event for memories that I forgot to farm for my character levels

Lucia plume is finally above 3k power still, so that’s pretty cool

[rigid kelp]

https://youtu.be/GfryWGusFCM?si=3GuSqRr-Yg7N03Th

Seggs

[tribal iron]

is anyone a NA instructor here

[rigid kelp]

@proven marten

Wanshi

[flat jolt]

I see stigmata

[proven marten]

@sage quail your favorite boi gettin a new frame

[solid thorn]

Luna barely got kicked out of the meta and shes already coming back with a vengeance

[flat jolt]

After playing Selena tempest in the new event mode

She’s kinda fun

[flat jolt]

Skills

[solid thorn]

inb4 one of those finally powercreeps empyrea

[flat jolt]

Well

That wouldn’t change my view on her

I’ll still use the shit out of her once I get her

Give me all the liv and Selena variants pls

[sage quail]

wanshu ??

wooooo

[solid thorn]

i wonder if my favorite boy will ever get an omniframe

[flat jolt]

I'll be waiting for haicma omniframe

[solid thorn]

Roland omniframe when @flat jolt you have the first half of his name, tell me

[flat jolt]

[rigid kelp]

ALSO GARNET LEAP LET'S GOOOO

[solid thorn]

HOLY THAT BIANCA COATING @proven marten

[proven marten]

jesus

hot

[flat jolt]

Am slowly getting funds for that empyrea

[sage quail]

emphasis on : slowly

[tribal iron]

you really gotta emphasis it here

[sage quail]

I don't even pull on that banner

idk if it's any worth even

holding my pulls like my life depends on it (it does)

[solid thorn]

the 70% banners arent worth it usually no

[sand verge]

why is that?

theres other kinds?

[sage quail]

the event one with the new unit

which is 100%

but eh the arrival construct is still useful due to it having s rank we need as beginner

[rigid kelp]

i olled for the 70% banner for nanami tank

[sage quail]

unlike the event one with the new suit

[rigid kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/nanami-pgr-punishing-gray-raven-nanamachines-son-nanomachines-son-gif-11726256367566423401

[sand verge]

so only completely new ones get 100%?

[supple vine]

yes

a units first banner is 100%

[rigid kelp]

old ones get it during anniv

[supple vine]

oh really

[rigid kelp]

yes

[sage quail]

still by the time it comes

[rigid kelp]

anniv or special events

[sage quail]

if the s rank you want is in the rotation

why not ?

[supple vine]

wep is always 80% tho right?

[sage quail]

yes

new ones get added over time

[sand verge]

well thats still pretty good rates compared to other gachas

I fucking hate coinflip losses

[sage quail]

I need glory from there

[rigid kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/punishing-gray-raven-gif-23706809

[sage quail]

yes

[rigid kelp]

cant wait for new wanshi

[sage quail]

my wanshi beloved

forever on my ice team

[rigid kelp]

also the new luna

[sage quail]

new luna ?

[flat jolt]

Heard empyrea comes in feb

[rigid kelp]

@sage quail

[flat jolt]

So I’ll have it by that point

I also need to finish story sesh

[sage quail]

isn't that just a new coating for laurel

ah the pink at the right

eh

[rigid kelp]

no

its a teaser for the future units

from the 4th anniv stream

lmao

on cn

they teased new luna wanshi and that pink girl

[sage quail]

not like we getting those soon

since it's cn

[rigid kelp]

i mean who cares its good to know

[sage quail]

ig ?

in 1 year

see you 🙂

[tribal iron]

1 year

[proven marten]

it sucks that we have so much to catch up on

cuz we kinda have to roll the arrival banner

if we wanna have a team

for X ele

[tribal iron]

just get the units wisely from the free S boxes

do elements matter here

i dont even see

anything for it

[proven marten]

they do

theres weather system

like hi3

for both warzone and ppc

and idk probably other modes too i havent seen those yet

[rigid kelp]

LIKE A VILLAN

I COULDNT BE

wait wrong server

[proven marten]

lol

[solid thorn]

the new unit's banner is 100%, plus during anni they run an special banner where you can select any of the older units and they all have 100% rate up

instead of the usual 70% on their reruns

with the same 60 pity

[sand verge]

[rigid kelp]

btw global anniv is in july

lol

https://youtu.be/SShZi0m8BBk?si=36c-S-7xqtEZjCGW

[proven marten]

ah god

she hot

she ning

she fucking

queen

i wish stpuid ayla didnt exist tho

with wanshi this could have been such a sex team

[rigid kelp]

Lmao

[proven marten]

but nooo fkin pink girl

she is cute tho

i love her va

and her vfx is also great

but

i want MEN

but anyway

qu's angry yelling

jesus

this feels so erza scarlet

[supple vine]

wait does that banner share its pity with the 70% one?

is that what you saying

[proven marten]

no

of course not

[solid thorn]

no, i mean it takes 60 pulls to guarantee an S rank

[supple vine]

ah

[proven marten]

anni is a special banner

separate

shares pity with nothing

[solid thorn]

but the rate up is 100% and you can select any previous S rank

[supple vine]

got it

[solid thorn]

thats it

[proven marten]

i cant get over

how angry mommy is

and they how the music is timed perfectly

at the 2:27 sequence

[rigid kelp]

a

ded chat

[flat jolt]

Ya yeet

People been grinding

[solid thorn]

game is kinda ded right now

weekend so no war zone, no pain cage, no new event

[flat jolt]

True

I’m just tryna grind cursed wages

Waves

[proven marten]

what is this norman thing

im not understanding what to do here

i need to watch a yt vid on it

[flat jolt]

Norman?

[proven marten]

norman revival plan

it's a gamemode

[flat jolt]

Oh

[proven marten]

next to wz and ppc

and i have no idea what this is

[flat jolt]

I see

Me either tbf

[proven marten]

@solid thorn can u explain plssss

[solid thorn]

i dunno, i just throw teams at it to clear

the ores you get can be used in the shop but i'm not entirely sure on what

@rigid kelp is the veteran here

[flat jolt]

On a brighter note, I have nuff to do 2 10 pulls now

Can’t wait for that empyrea

[rigid kelp]

I'm not

[solid thorn]

[flat jolt]

He is just the highest levelled one

What level are ya btw, Matt?

❓

[proven marten]

so nobody knows?

😄

[flat jolt]

I guess so

But it’s fine

Just play it and get a feel for it

Have my experience

[rigid kelp]

90 cause of the guide missions

[flat jolt]

Noice

I’m only 18 behind

[tribal iron]

i'm 30 behind

[flat jolt]

You got to 60?

Damn

[solid thorn]

i'm at 77, i might hit 83 this next week

then i'd be set into instructor mode

but i dont really know shit

ff14 mentor vibes

[tribal iron]

well 59, but still

[solid thorn]

can almost get the final awaken for balter

will be nice having 3 extra orbs at the start

[tribal iron]

[supple vine]

ok the big menu thing that really gets me is that the events are in the fucking news tab

[flat jolt]

Damn

I just hit 72

Tho that’s also cuz I had a massive gap when playing this game

[flat jolt]

Lol

[sage quail]

what i was saying to ariel in dm

literally some tabs are in places they shouldn't be and event tab is one of them

[supple vine]

pgr is the only game with worse menus then hi3

and hi3 is giga ass

[sage quail]

indeed

[flat jolt]

I’m sure half the people drop the game cuz of that

Cuz that might’ve been me

[sage quail]

It's annoying but oh well

[supple vine]

when they copied hi3 they didnt have to copy the fucking menus too

[sage quail]

doesn't make sense as well

[supple vine]

[sage quail]

My dark team is mostly finished at last

Only missing glory for ice and i'm also done and got 2 teams

[supple vine]

i have the ice team but its not fully built

the only 6* wep i have is rigor's

[sage quail]

I'm just missing lvl 45 on all my memories otherwise all of dark have their correct 6* memories

[tribal iron]

atleast the dailies here are way easier

[sage quail]

what is your ice team

[supple vine]

plume glory hypnos

but not built yet

[sage quail]

same team as me

minus glory

14 more pulls maybe

[tribal iron]

damn thanks

i hadn't realize that also

[sage quail]

my dark team is just the most broken one atp

ice is barely a team since plume doesn't have her weap

[supple vine]

these are my teams

[sage quail]

that phys team hurts me

[supple vine]

lightning not even worth pointing out

[supple vine]

shhhhhhhhhhhh

[sage quail]

who did you pick for that s box

for having that a rank liv

💀

[supple vine]

?

[tribal iron]

how do you team setups

from where

[supple vine]

that was a long time ago elyris

long long time ago

[sage quail]

I hope you have luminance

instead

[supple vine]

i dont

[sage quail]

have to initiate a battle to see team setup button on top right

[supple vine]

im just going to wait for Echo

[sage quail]

that's also annoying

[sage quail]

girlie that's like 1 year from now on

[supple vine]

you underestimate my stubbornness

[sage quail]

[supple vine]

you wernt there when i was returning to hi3

[sage quail]

returning to hi3rd

peak stubborness

[supple vine]

took me 3 times for hi3 to stick

this is my 3rd time on pgr and its likely going to stick

cs and hsr only took one time to stick

[sage quail]

me who also did 3 installations and i sticked and lvl 60 atm 🤡 ✋

[tribal iron]

poggop

[sage quail]

dark tankus

[sage quail]

dw see you in 1 year we will still be here

and you will still have Liv a rank on your phys team-

[tribal iron]

[sage quail]

oh you have luna too ?

[tribal iron]

i am set

yes yes

[sage quail]

dark is good until uh

next july

[supple vine]

for sure

[sage quail]

mood tbh

at least you have a team for each even if yuck

[supple vine]

i dont like back pulling

[sage quail]

i only do teams when i have at least a decent unit for it

[supple vine]

i dont have lightning

[sage quail]

lucia in feb

just a heads up

👁️

[supple vine]

yea i know

this game promotes pulling every new unit

rather than ever back pulling

[sage quail]

I'll still not pull every new suit

because i can't

[supple vine]

with monthly dont you have enough to tho

?

[sage quail]

i chose not to buy monthly atm

[supple vine]

fair

[sage quail]

also some units don't interest me up to feb

hyperreal lee which is the only s rank you can pull until feb

but i'll probably pull new units once i'm done with ice (missing glory)

[tribal iron]

i want to get glory but

[sage quail]

glory will still live on until next year

[tribal iron]

smh they should've been like arknights and that for every level they refill the entire stamina, not just a small amount

[sage quail]

it doesn't refill all the stamina while adding the excess when you levelup ?

[tribal iron]

no

wait

yeah no it doesnt for pgr

[sage quail]

[tribal iron]

for arknight it does

it only gives like, a smalll amount and i think it increases by 1 for every level

i got 50 instead of 158 smh

[sage quail]

vomit

[supple vine]

state of my plume

the 5* wep is functional i guess

[sage quail]

i saw it in my box

i was like yuck this is nowhere near useful

but yeah ig

though i would stop at lvl 35 on it

[supple vine]

its just for stats

5* are worth leveling for stats bc you have to go deep for 6* weps in this game

[sage quail]

35 for 5* memories and weap

levels is enough

[supple vine]

[sage quail]

also you having the good pieces but the wrong numbers for memories

[supple vine]

im not seeing myself with plume wep any time soon

[sage quail]

she doesn't need it in budget comp

SS is prioritized iirc

ah nvm

no weap is prioritized over ss

[tribal iron]

well time

to build XXI

[proven marten]

that's not the correct liv on the lightning team

[proven marten]

if you want glory go

hes good husbando

and you can still guarantee in 120 pulls

or win the 70/30

also guys dont forget daily 2 invert shard farming

for your A ranks

but only do 1 at a time

too much stamina otherwise

[flat jolt]

Oh lemme make my teams

Ignore uniframes and default

[proven marten]

i cant find this team preset tabn

the members tab doesnt have it

wtf

[tribal iron]

thats because the members tab doesnt have it you silly

you have to go to battle preparations

[supple vine]

got em

menu dif

[sage quail]

pgr has truly the menu screen of all time

[proven marten]

a what

[flat jolt]

Hold on

Before battle

It’s the top right thing

[supple vine]

its also less functional than the hi3 1 bc it just adds the units to those slots rather than removing then adding

so if you have a uniframe as a preset it will just slap that in the team you have showing

[flat jolt]

I mean

For the longest time

I was playing Selena tempest

With 2 omniframes

[flat jolt]

The Uniframe

[proven marten]

oh so theres no menu like this only accessible during a mission preview?

[flat jolt]

I guess so? They never managed to fix shit up

[supple vine]

[flat jolt]

Kuro moment, but hey

Game’s still fun at least

[rigid kelp]

okay i refilled my monthly pass

poggies

3300 extra bc

[flat jolt]

Stonks

[sage quail]

Whel

[rigid kelp]

i want lee

[sage quail]

Palefire has to do for me

Until next fire dps in 3 years

[rigid kelp]

the next fire dps is in dec

and its lee

lmao

[sage quail]

^

Not interested in hyperrreal

Thats why I said in 3years ill wait for new fire dps

[proven marten]

3 years with a missing ele

lol

[sage quail]

Not like I care

[proven marten]

sure

i know you, you will care

[sage quail]

Meh

Its the same as honk

I will have team where its buildless

Its bound to happen

It takes time to do a team, I'm already thankful ice and dark are up

[solid thorn]

[solid thorn]

@proven marten i made an oopsie and got rewarded for it

rolled on the weapon banner to try and get vera's weapon

got one at 20/30, it wasnt her weapon

i got annoyed at first then noticed...it was chrome glory's weapon instead lmao

then i rolled 20 more and i got it

never punished

[flat jolt]

Noice

[sage quail]

The punishing in pgr nowhere to be found here smh

[solid thorn]

they only punish their characters

[proven marten]

gogo

i wanted to roll veritas wep

😂

but i restrained myself

shes dying in 3 months anyway

I also wanted to roll glory cuz hot

and i could pair with bambi

but eh probably not worth

better try to sacc starfarer and empyrea for hlee

[flat jolt]

Once I get liv

I’m getting the weapons

Fuck hoping to pull Rosetta

[solid thorn]

i went for vera's weapon because i already got her from the generic roll while pulling

and shes getting a leap in CN

so she wont be dying anytime soon

[flat jolt]

Lemme hit 80

[solid thorn]

i'm 78 now, definitely hitting 80 before next week thanks to guide missions

[proven marten]

im 65

progression gonna be slow from here i guess

collab mission didnt give me a awhole level even

[sage quail]

I'm 5 lvl behind

Life is hard

What is the lvl max for units even, is it like honk

[proven marten]

80

[sage quail]

So like honk

[proven marten]

ye

[sage quail]

Okay nice

[proven marten]

but then ultimate awaken

then lea

leap

etc

it's more like AK

in this sense

mastery+module stuff

[sage quail]

Sure but ut doesn't change the level, it doesn't go beyond 80 right

It*

[proven marten]

i dont think so

[sage quail]

Glory in 9 pulls

I believe

[proven marten]

go go

[sage quail]

Wz resetted

So did pcc

Come on give me my pulls

[proven marten]

i have nothing to pullll

till starfarer comes

hope she returns before hlee

but im eyeing glory

but it's just copium

ig

idk

[sage quail]

Qylin hype

[proven marten]

qilin is shit

[sage quail]

Ik

[proven marten]

kek

[sage quail]

I'm coping with it for now

No choices

[proven marten]

ayla better

[sage quail]

Dont have her

[proven marten]

shes an A rank

oo

i believe

[sage quail]

Means nothing when I dont get them anywhere

Glory at 70%

Watch it be another dps

[proven marten]

2nd one is guaranteed

[sage quail]

It is iirc

If I dont get him now I wont have him before 9th

[proven marten]

[sage quail]

End of banner

Duh

Rate up*

[flat jolt]

Brother it’s been a week

Man is already catching up to me

[sage quail]

Mentor exp too op

[flat jolt]

It is

[tribal iron]

okay just got to lvl 60 halfway to lvl 61

[proven marten]

why tf do u have a new name everyday

are u hiding from a stalker?

[tribal iron]

yes

they're called Ariel

[proven marten]

then im afraid ur not doing a very good job at it boo

[supple vine]

hide me from ariel so he cant dag me into another gacha game

[tribal iron]

ariel is in every gacha game

probably playing the bleach gacha game

[proven marten]

https://tenor.com/view/mobius-honkai-impact3-waifu-gif-23151822

[proven marten]

no im not

[tribal iron]

next ariel is going to suggest Ryo to make a ZZZ thread

[sand verge]

endfield and project mugen are the only gachas Im looking forward to

zzz is like its namesake, looks boring

[proven marten]

no cuz im not gonna play that

[sand verge]

I thought that game would be right up your alley

[proven marten]

zzz?

no

it has trash graphic style

and im never picking up another hoyo game

ever again

post-hi3 they all have the same trash system

and i cant with that

i cant with hi3 either after playing pgr tbh

[sand verge]

Ive tried getting into pgr a bit using the starter account but I dont find it all too exciting

gonna play it a bit casually and see if my interest picks up

[supple vine]

idk pgr and hi3 have different appeals to me anyway

[sand verge]

is it worth trying honkai at this point?

its pretty old now

[supple vine]

the combat system might be similar but the way you aproche the game doesnt feel the same

[supple vine]

honestly no

the story is good

probs the best or 2nd best of any hoyo game

but like its a grind

[proven marten]

best hoyo game by a longshot

[sand verge]

thats a low bar

[supple vine]

its really it or GGZ and ggz is old

[proven marten]

ggz gameplay was clown af

[supple vine]

yea

but story

[proven marten]

anyway

[sand verge]

hoyo stories in genshin/hsr has been pretty bad outside some highlights

[proven marten]

what would be ur goal with hi3?

[supple vine]

ariel i play these games for the story

[proven marten]

if u can answer me that

i can gib u a recomm

[sand verge]

I do like the writing in hsr though

[proven marten]

you....do?

how

it's so blah

after belobog

[sand verge]

yes the dialogue banter is actually quite decent

[proven marten]

ah that

yea thats cool

msq itself is a mess tho

[flat jolt]

Why second best? What’s the other contender

[proven marten]

ggz

[supple vine]

ggz

[proven marten]

but only for story

[flat jolt]

Guilty gear Z?

[sand verge]

thats narrative not the writing

[supple vine]

only story wise

[flat jolt]

What’s ggz

[proven marten]

gun girls z also known has honkai 2

[flat jolt]

Oh

I see

So hoyo fell off quality wise

[supple vine]

Guns Girl Honkai Gakuen

[flat jolt]

Got it

[supple vine]

writing wise yea

[proven marten]

anyway @sand verge if ur interested in hi3 purely for the story, go watch it on yt, it's a very VERY good story. the first few chapters are a bit ass but picks up fast and you really get into it at ch9 and will be fully invested.

but playing for it? no

i dont recommend

[sand verge]

Im not playing it for story

[supple vine]

dont touch it then

[sand verge]

gachas fail at a fundamental level to tell a compelling story

[proven marten]

as with every competitive game, coming in this late is hard

[sand verge]

compared to regular games

[supple vine]

pgr does the same mechanics but better

if you like the style of gameplay

the story is really the main selling point of hi3

[flat jolt]

I feel like gacha should do like, small stories instead of a big overarching thing

But I am too dumb to pitch this idea convincingly

[proven marten]

hi3 combat is great, gearing economy is a lot more fair than genshin or hsr and if u do not care about the competitive side you can do just fine

[supple vine]

hi3 is about a really big overarching thing

[sand verge]

they have to cut way too many corners in production to stay a mobile game, it takes you out of the experience constantly

awkward animations and setpieces

bad scene transitions

[supple vine]

takes 8 fucking chapters to get to the action

[proven marten]

but honestly i cant really recommend hi3 anymore. they are essentially rebooting the game in a couple months maybe you can give it a shot then but i wont be around for that cuz the game has been taking creative decisions that ruin it for me

[sand verge]

genshin and hsr suffer hard from these

[flat jolt]

Well hi3 has been going on for a while so it has a lot of stuff now

But I mean in general, they should do short stories so the story doesn’t feel like it got axed alongside the gacha

[supple vine]

???

[sand verge]

like whenever a character has to leave the scene, they stop, turn 180 degrees on the spot like a robot, and slides out of frame

[flat jolt]

Like hi3 must’ve felt like ass in the beginning cuz they barely had story content

[proven marten]

if ur looking for the combat only, stick with pgr

[sand verge]

its so jarring

[proven marten]

hi3 is vn-style

[supple vine]

hi3 has 1 event story and 1 ms every patch

[proven marten]

so none of that

[supple vine]

so you get plenty every patch

even without the backlog

[sand verge]

I like AKs way of storytelling but their major issue is the gigantic amount of word bloat

and NPC blabber

[flat jolt]

I see

[supple vine]

its like 3 times the story content that hsr gets

or more

[proven marten]

it's the issue of any cn gacha

cuz concise cn sentences turn into bloated shit when localized

[sand verge]

like every time I try and get into and read an AK event story I have to sit through hours of no name NPCs talking about meaningless shit

[proven marten]

i havent been reading AK story since ch11

cuz i cant

evne on x32 spd it's too long

the last event story i actually read from start to finish was gnosis event

[sand verge]

the only event I read and finished fully was blemishine event

[supple vine]

am i the only person playing these gacha for the story here

[proven marten]

i dont have the ass

to sit

for this long

i skip pgr too

tho i read bianca event

fully

[sand verge]

why though? you can find much more compelling stories in other games

[proven marten]

cuz i care abt her
