the story is nice but the game is so fucking boring

it’s more often I’ve seen people saying the opposite
they gameplay and events are carrying it for them far far better than the story in general
save for a few good character stories

first off did you have a stroke, second what
vivid moon
I think I'm in the middle
I agree with gaphid that the events take way too long, but understand that that's the point
Relic farming is also a pain in the ass and I wish it had a mechanic like calyxes where you can do multiple runs and used less fuel, I mean they use more fuel than the weekly bosses and I think the stagnant shadows?
Exploration also becomes stagnant and boring when you've already done every puzzle possible and can't just climb around and have fun like you can in genshin
Though, I do think the premise of the events is fun and cute, they do get old quick
For hsr I feel I finally understand the people who only play genshin to pull because I have so little interest in the story and everything
Only the little quirky bits I see here or there that catch my eye before I finish exploring/skip dialogue

exploration in this game is very basic (unless they upped their game since I stopped playing but I doubt it)

ngl I don't really 'buy it' when people say the QoL for reaping relics rewards is much better in HSR than artifacts in Genshin (aside from the fact you can auto it)
Like, sure I'd want to pick out my own main stat on a piece in Genshin just like the other joe, but like the reason why they even added these extra perks to relic farming is precisely bc you have more pieces, subs and main stats to get crappy rolls on. It's bad enough you can't even use a flex piece. Those features seem there more to help 'balance' the mald inducing experience to accomodate the system they used for HSR
analog pollen
ever since the game started
ive always said that relics in this suck more
the whole 1 custom relic thing is casual bait
vivid moon
Yeah, I appreciate the fact you can make your own artifacts but they'll still have the same shitty luck with substats and rolling lmao
analog pollen
having to farm for 6 perfect matching set pieces for every character is so much worse
vivid moon
That and you have to relic farm and constantly play and farm for the materials for it anyway
Which is a time sink on its own
daring raft
the whole 1 custom relic thing is casual bait
it's all fun and games when you get an ATK% sands until you find there is only one sub stat you want on it and you roll horribly upon lv 16

And Genshin stalls every time
It's slower on end-patch version stuff, but understandably so.
But the overworld story content is consistently pace and anticipated enough in general in these past few years (and better than how 1.x was faring back when we had none of that) imo.
versions x.7 and x.8 are my
"catchup" patches
analog pollen
they have a scheldue and they're sticking to it

the only time (at least in my knowledge) that genshin actually stalled stuff that wasn't planned to be that way was with the whole chasm/dendro introduction to the game
daring raft
I forget, why did Dendro take so long to get added to the game?
not that I minded it
analog pollen
i think they just couldnt settle on the gameplay aspects of it
daring raft
cuz the hype made 3.x in general even more fun
analog pollen
the way it ended up working out felt like a response to the current metagame for abyss at the time
it doesnt react with cryo at all which was one of the strongest elements, and has great synergy with electro which was one of the weakest
daring raft
I wonder if HSR will add a 'new' mechanic like that
maybe a new playable path?
technically there are tons of paths that can't be used in-game
analog pollen
and while it reacts with pyro it's a very meh reaction for the most part (to my understanding at least) , and pyro was another one of the top elemetns

yeah burning is 
Burgeon is ok though, but gets iffy at times

and burning wood shields
remember when that was a relevant strategy

As the most famous legend in Xianzhou history, the five heroes of the High-Cloud Quintet gathered to fight together. Their feats were almost endless: Driving out the borisin invading Thalassa.

Even rescuing the Xianzhou Yuque and defeating the living planet Ketu Mirage, preserving the eyes of the Alliance that gaze out to the stars...

a lot of the xianzhou character stories highlight the fact that their an intergalactic trade coalition

lament bramble
im not sure how you'd do it differently tho
Genshin will typically just generalize the unneeded proper nouns into generic descriptions, rather than slapping a name on them
daring raft
are you expecting ZZZ to be any more or less ‘complicated’ with its terms and stuff
lament bramble
Example sentence in Genshin:
When the eternal throne of the heavens came, the world was made anew. Then the true lord, the Primordial One, came forth and did battle against the seven terrifying sovereigns, dragon-lords of the old world. The Primordial One created shining shades of itself, and the number of these shades was four.
How it feels like HSR would handle the same sentence:
When the Throne of the Huangdi descended upon the Shenxiao, the realm of the Zhongshou was made anew. Then the Huangdi, Grand General of the Divine Order, came forth and did battle against the seven terrifying members of the Gulao Longwang. The Huangdi created the Shen of the Shenxiao from its Divine Aether, and the number of Shen was four.

you can still play the story even after it’s over right? just not get all the rewards?

the story is still playable since it's like

is that jujutsu

Yes
It's ||a scene from a few episodes ago from the newest season|| where the ||volcano head guy|| was talking to sukuna after they ||had an all out fight and volcano head lost,|| right before ||volcano head dies|| he's told this by ||sukuna|| and basically just breaks down crying because like... That's probably the best thing he's ever heard and it's from the person he's sort of idolized this whole time
But the furina one in lore basement hits just a bit harder

The anime version seems interesting to me
Up until recently when the shit decided to start ||killing main characters||
And now I'm just
Scared for the rest of them
analog pollen
im not really into fighting for the sake of fighting (maybe other than fighting manga but those take fights to a different level than most shonen)
and the plot itself never caught my interest
analog pollen
Scared for the rest of them
ah yes you see
I dont really get attached to characters like that for the most part
im a plot-first kinda person
vivid moon
I mean, I wasn't attached too much to the second one
But the first 
But now I'm afraid of who they'll ||kill off|| next
Which is a feeling I don't think I ever really get from a show
analog pollen
(imma be real with you I dont even remember who died)
vivid moon
LMAO
||the first one was nanami, who basically went through hell and then we saw the inner thoughts of in his last few moments where he was imagining himself on a beach and able to relax, until he came back to realize i suck at names pink haired mc was watching him and he gets killed via exploding from creepy dude who monsterizes people. Second one is the girl who fights with nails and a hammer, who's basically been with the crew since season 1 and fighting alongside them on every mission, learning about her past and how she used to be that one girl who'd make friends with the lonely outsider at school and the view cutting to that outsider girl reminiscing to a coworker about hammer & nails girl and wondering how she's doing- then hammer & nails girl explodes via monsterizer dude||

the genshin banner we got now isn’t as hype anyways and just started
I think we already got all the mail Primos in Genshin, so we'll have gotten all of them is Star Rail before Huohuo's banner ending as well, so I still call it is Genshin getting the short end of the stick again
daring raft
*Yamero*
eh not really imo. They prolly just wanted to give a front load since HuoHuo has gotten pretty popular (and it seems like she's up there with Luocha if not maybe more in terms of utility).
Had this been a Furina banner and we were just a handful of days right before it? I'd be shocked if they didn't do the same lol
river badger
We're having all of them before the banner ending, so it all really boils down to give them all at once so people spends it all at once or give them in different days to make people log-in every day to spend them as soon as possible and they could have gone for either option honestly
daring raft
plus if they had gone for the 4-day period, the last bit of the reward would've fallen on that same day too. Depending on what time the banner resets, it'd leave players a bit extra pressed for time if it's in the middle of the day.
Whereas Cyno and Ayato are sticking aorund for a couple weeks
analog pollen
what exactly am I looking at
it's a bit hard to follow
is it just a better filter system?
analog pollen
(i never played genshin long enough to find something like this useful)
and no star rail doesnt have this afaik
it didnt when I was still playing
and I feel like I would have seen people talk about it if it got it in a later update

is it a trailer exclusive to the game awards entry for star rail?

(a raiden expy was leaked since the game released)
idk if it's that person tho
model looks a bit too generic
oh wait they drew attention to it
I see
then yea it's probably her
didnt expect the look to be that edgy
daring raft
the hair just feels very different
It’s actually is yea
The bangs are noticeably longer
vivid moon
yee
but the overall design between her and mei are very similar in vibe
from hair color to eyes and the outfit
arguably moreso than ei is to mei
also the narrator lady reminds me of march
with some of her design pieces
i wonder if they're connected
vivid moon
fuck this new event
how the hell am i supposed to finish the last fight of the second thing in <3 rounds?
this poor trial pela
this is the best run i've had and i'm still stuck at 9
you need 7 cycles maximum to get the first reward
that jingliu even got to use her ultimate 5 times in a row because she kept freezing one of the two enemies
using normal teams to buff one character don't work for me, using 3 dps characters doesn't work, 3+ ice characters doesn't work for me, idk what the fuck i'm supposed to do 😭
nimble condor
Why did they make HSR Mei Expy so depressed sounding

vivid moon
???? I cleared it in 4 cycles, trial jingliu and pela was doing all the work
you...
I used both trial pela and jingliu, some rounds Jing would only do like 10k with her ult while others she would do like 140k and I have no fucking idea why
I tried maybe 12 times with the trial characters and gave up because the best i was getting with them was 9-10 cycles
I have a built tingyun, but she wasn't doing much to help either
I'll try again later but it's frustrating me 
open lotus
I'm hopping in to do dailies, I can retry the mode and try to give pointers based on my experience
one thing for sure do not bring like 3+ dps in a team 😂
open lotus
I will do
jingliu pela gepard and tingyun and see where I go with it
vivid moon
Thank you
open lotus
I cleared round 1/3 with 1 cumulative cycle, once I use tingyun ult to boost JL I make her ult and she just swept ez
usually round 2 and 3 are the ones that can be janky
I figured out the problem, you need to land freezes on the enemy so that you can deal huge dmg to them when they're frozen
since that's the buff for the stage
if you give gepard an effect hit rate body and use his skill to freeze enemies then jingliu can just go ham against them
you shouldn't attack a frozen elite enemy with anyone else other than jingliu so that they can just get destroyed easily
@vivid moon make your tingyun fast, give gepard an effect hit rate body, and pay attention to the buffs
you need 6 cycles for full rewards but I got 7 cycles which is pretty much all the jade rewards
oh yeah also make gepard fast too
if I tried harder I could've gotten 6 cycles
the reason why I first tried with 4 cycles is because I had bronya
vivid moon
I cleared round 1/3 with 1 cumulative cycle, once I use tingyun ult to boost JL ...
I usually got through round 1 with 1 cycle and round 2 with 2, then round 3 takes me another like 5-6 because the enemies are just so tanky
And okay thank you for the tip
open lotus
yeah round 1 and round 2 was the exact same situation for me when I used gepard and tingyun
vivid moon
I'll try it later after work

from the vids ive seen he has a passive to give him energy and if he fights against 5 enemies he gets so much energy he doens't need to worry at all
