[worn herald]

I don't

I wanted CW

first time I think I got 4 oranges

and they're all the wrong ones!!

[stone pendant]

oh i thought this was strongbox

[true crater]

why r u farming for it

yea

just farm emblem and strongbox

[stone pendant]

yup

[true crater]

ur wasting half ur drops this way

[worn herald]

'cose I'm tired of doing emblem

[true crater]

weak

we never tire of emblem

[hazy badge]

Emblem is the true end-game.

[remote otter]

on that daily grind at emblem domain

[rare imp]

[limpid crow]

Troo

Xiangling, Bennett, Raiden, Xingqiu, Yelan, and Mona all need it right now

Can't get enough of it and especially can't get enough "good" on-set pieces of it

[stone pendant]

faruzan also wants it

[hazy badge]

You also forgot Beidou and Rosaria.

[kindred pumice]

Rosaria doesn't need it tbh

Her burst cost is 40 and she does better with 2 BS+ 2 NO

[analog thicket]

today on I get yet another bad offset hydro dmg goblet

all of my elemental dmg goblets are offset

every last one
most of them are Wanderer's Troupe

[rich sleet]

not even good for TF Ayato

[green cloak]

If everything go in hp% 👀👍u can use it for yelan

[calm pagoda]

more cr pls

[green cloak]

👀yeah

[hazy badge]

The odds of getting on-set goblets that are actually good are astronomically slim. You have a 20% chance for a goblet to drop, a 5% chance for it to be an elemental goblet, and then a 9% chance for it to have both crit damage and crit rate.

Your goblet will almost always be your off-piece because of how hard the RNG is stacked against you.

[calm pagoda]

but sometimes the game is nice

[green cloak]

👀 it's nice when u didn't expect anything

And when u expect u get something nice

U don't get anything

[analog thicket]

true

[hazy badge]

Out of the 18 double crit goblets I have, four of them are on-set. Of those four, only one of them are decent and I got it like yesterday. This is after well over a year of farming.

[analog thicket]

anyhow back I go to accidentally pulling EM artifacts in the Depths domain

[green cloak]

I just want a good hp sand

But genshin hate me

[hazy badge]

I got a random 40.2 CV HP sands that is collecting dust in my inventory.

Idk what to do with it and it feels real bad to just feed it.

[calm pagoda]

keep it

[green cloak]

Give that to me rn 👀

[analog thicket]

or me

[calm pagoda]

for the hp scaler you're gonna get in the future

[hazy badge]

I'm going to, but it's just like come on, RNG.

[analog thicket]

theoretically dps barbara is always there

[hazy badge]

Using SR? lol

[calm pagoda]

barb dmg scales off atk

lmao

I raise you

[hazy badge]

Nice DEF%.

[analog thicket]

oh right
I forgot I run OHC barb because I solely use barb for coop

so for me she does scale off of hp to a point

[calm pagoda]

god, is that an omega low roll

[hazy badge]

Not as bad as one of my Emblem feathers. lmao

[calm pagoda]

better than any of my two emblem feathers

[calm pagoda]

oh boy

[hazy badge]

Seven low rolls.

[calm pagoda]

that one hurts

[hazy badge]

On a four line start.

[green cloak]

Just give me a good hp sand

And my preparation for who tao get complete

[calm pagoda]

ah good, she's only holding it

[hazy badge]

This is another one that really hurt. It would have been such a good Yelan piece.

[green cloak]

[calm pagoda]

I need a good emblem hp sands man

well actl, a feather would do me a lot more good

[hazy badge]

I only have like two good feathers, one good flower, and one good ER sands. The rest of my Emblem artifacts are just garbage.

We really need an Emblem strongbox. lol

[green cloak]

I have good Feather 👀ig but not good hat

[hazy badge]

A CD circlet dropped yesterday that completely avoided CR and ATK% somehow. Felt real good. lmao

[kindred pumice]

I'll pull HuTao on the next rerun. C1 straightaway

[green cloak]

it's feel good cuz u already know u can't get them

[green cloak]

Give me one 👀sifu

[shrewd oriole]

went full DEF

[hazy badge]

Oof. I had a sands like that that Thanos'd. Was my first double crit ATK sands in Emblem too.

[shrewd oriole]

don't have a good emblem atk sands

smh

[green cloak]

@calm pagoda this guy holding shimenawa's set but not good so i am focusing on witch artifact 👀👍

[hazy badge]

Emblem just feels cursed tbh. I have more good SR pieces than I do Emblem.

[shrewd oriole]

I'm the opposite

[green cloak]

[kindred pumice]

Emblem is the most generous domain for me

[calm pagoda]

well kinda

[hazy badge]

The goblet and circlet are good, but the feather, sands, and flower are kinda scuffed. lol

[calm pagoda]

I have 3 good sets of emblem, but 1 cracked set of shim

[green cloak]

Then give me 👀a hp and er sand and cr and cd hat rn

Hand them over 👀sifu

[green cloak]

And me who just work with anything cuz can't find good artifacts

[hazy badge]

Don't you have a ton of artifacts just collecting dust in your inventory.

[green cloak]

Even this guy have noblesse

[calm pagoda]

oi

[green cloak]

I only have 800 ig 👀

[hazy badge]

Noblesse is fine for Xingqiu tbh.

The hell is that sands. You dodged those flat stats so hard.

[green cloak]

👀 yeah but i always use benny in my team or cat girl and both have noblesse

[calm pagoda]

man I was so shocked

[green cloak]

Why 👀

[hazy badge]

I need to build my Xingqiu with a good Emblem set at some point.

[green cloak]

U guy's also have c6

[kindred pumice]

My XQ overcaps with ER

[hazy badge]

I think I have C12 of him. The game just loves giving me Xingqiu cons, plus I pulled on the Ganyu/Zhongli rerun banners which had some really good four stars.

[green cloak]

How much er u give him sifu

[hazy badge]

Beidou, Xingqiu, and Yanfei, I think?

[kindred pumice]

Oh you guys aren't using Emblem. No wonder the ER seemed kinda low

[calm pagoda]

it's however, the only time

[hazy badge]

ER is fine with Favonius and C6.

[calm pagoda]

it's enough for my purposes

called rational and funerational

[hazy badge]

He really doesn't need a ton, especially in like Rational.

[kindred pumice]

Yeah Ik, but w/ Emblem you get +20 er and that usually overcaps the ER for me

[hazy badge]

Oh yeah. For sure.

[calm pagoda]

and esp with C6

[hazy badge]

The only time I dodged flat stats that hard is the EM goblet I have. lmao

[hazy badge]

Which no one uses.

[kindred pumice]

Mine is 60:120 w/ 210-220 ER

[green cloak]

Hmmm 👀kinda same ig gn

[calm pagoda]

well...there's this ig

[hazy badge]

The hell is that monstrosity.

[calm pagoda]

I got that decently early into this game

[green cloak]

Ohhh And before going to sleep
happy new year in advance guy's

[hazy badge]

Same to you~

[kindred pumice]

In what region in Asia is it night rn?

[calm pagoda]

asia...idt any (unless you're counting the eastern bit of Siberia)

but if you look in the pacific...

[kindred pumice]

Hungry is Indian iirc. And there ain't no way it's night there

[calm pagoda]

yep

maybe just taking a nap

[kindred pumice]

Bro even said GN

[calm pagoda]

well, only gn has the connotation of sleep

the rest have the affiliation of hello

[neat kindle]

best i can get with iron sting

prob need sss for better hp

[green cloak]

and morning 👀👍

[green cloak]

Nice 👀 same as my sucrose 👀👍

[fast pike]

Unfortunately one roll into flat def

This one too, but still one of my best CW ATK sands

[plucky beacon]

Sayu impact

[green cloak]

Sayu curse 👀

Go to Miko sifu she will help u clean this curse

👍

[median quiver]

now i'm starting to understand why people now do damage showcases on him

the difference is huge and i used the exact same build and buffs

[wispy yew]

i cant relate with morgana

[rare imp]

im pointing this out since people always like to do that with scara boss

[tribal breach]

ayy a nice circlet

[kindred pumice]

No fucking way!

[unreal sandal]

how did you dodge sayu so far lol

[kindred pumice]

Bruh

[hazy badge]

I was about to say. That's the opposite of dodging. lmao

[unreal sandal]

oh wait

if its above c6 it doesn't give stella fortuna

[kindred pumice]

All I need is one copy of Sara

[rich sleet]

I just hope i dont get any more jeans lol

[kindred pumice]

I'll be rooting for you to get Qiqi

[rich sleet]

Tighnari rather. I treated qiqi well in 1.0 through 1.6, so she was never mean to me like that

[rare imp]

mate

sayu is a curse

shits like a 4* qiqi

[sinful crown]

[kindred pumice]

That circlet

[rich sleet]

Rocking a 100cv+ circlet

[rich sleet]

Where tf is the substat distribution though

[sinful crown]

Wym

[rich sleet]

the bars underneath the stats

[sinful crown]

Uh?

Oh idk

Thats how they put it

[rich sleet]

Just activate the setting

[hazy badge]

[rich sleet]

damn only missing 5 dots

wtf is DAN and why is it capitalized

[sinful crown]

Damage in italian and its very bad translation

[hazy badge]

The hell is that circlet.

Jesus.

[rich sleet]

5 points away from perfection at 46.6%

[sinful crown]

Usually i use this

I just need Engulfing , i really hope to get it

[twilit fossil]

[stone pendant]

[wispy yew]

the bootleg haran strikes again

grats

[rich sleet]

What bootleg?

Akuoumaru is lit

[stone pendant]

that's numba 6

that unlucky donut r5

[brazen parcel]

Im salty for that akuomaru

[wispy yew]

the looks, im not commenting on the stats

[rich sleet]

R5 in tazecrose gives 72% to beidou

[rare imp]

mate

are u buying HYV HQ?

tf are u funding

new war drones for the ccp?

[stone pendant]

it's ok hoyo ran away from china

i'm funding singapore drones

[rare imp]

wait

is that true?

[radiant hill]

lament worthy account

[hazy badge]

At least you won 50/50's.

[radiant hill]

I won a single one

I lost every other

[hazy badge]

Two.

[radiant hill]

redhorn was weapon banner being on crack

I don't caount that

bro

I'd never pull on weapon banner

but my gambling addict mind had to

[hazy badge]

Sounds like a gacha player. lol

Some y'all plan out your pulls six seconds in advance. I plan out mine six months. lmao

[radiant hill]

I mean

when I was pulling redhorn I made sure I had enough to get ayatoes

I had like

114 at the time

I was like

why not spend till I have 100 left

and then I got redhorn

[hazy badge]

Yeah, I get that, but it is so easy to get raked by the weapon banner.

[radiant hill]

yeah

but I don't know what my brain was coping

[hazy badge]

When I get that way, I just close the game.

[radiant hill]

👏

[hazy badge]

A moment of stupidity isn't worth months of grinding. It panned out for you since you lucked out, but you easily could have gotten fucked.

[radiant hill]

I mean

at the time I pulled when I had more than 100

if I didn't get anything

I wouldn't keep going

surely

[hazy badge]

I get that, but if you never intend on pulling on the weapon banner (usually), that could have been 20 pity or whatever wasted on a banner you won't pull on.

[radiant hill]

yeah

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ig it just worked out

[hazy badge]

Hey, it worked out, you got a good weapon.

[rare imp]

Lemme say this:

if there is no unit that i want that are left

and i know that the next patches just gonna be reruns

the wp banner looks tasty at that moment

happened twice

and both times i got the promotional weapons

so we good

[stone pendant]

yes, they moved their HQ to singapore because china was imposing a lot of restrictions on them

remember when we got the "chinese skins" for some characters

that covered them up

it's because of that

[rare imp]

Lmao

funny ngl

OH

wait

that also means why they are making lantern rite with hu tao in the banner cycle

bcs 2020-2021 lantern rite, they said they used keqing as a placeholder, bcs hu tao symbolizes death

[stone pendant]

i'm not sure about that one

[rare imp]

Nah, i think it was what they said at the time

[stone pendant]

but i could see china being up in arms about that too

[hazy badge]

They didn't want to showcase Hu Tao during the livestream because of her relationship with death during the CNY, so they did the Keqing banner at the start and then Hu Tao was a sort of surprise banner.

[rare imp]

YES
that was it

shit was way too long

bro

[hazy badge]

It's a cultural thing and they're the ones running the game. We don't really get a say when it comes to things like censorship or when banners happen for whatever reason. I'm just surprised how much Honkai gets away with because the game is for the exact same demographic.

[stone pendant]

poor hutao

she just wants to be a good girl and guide people to the afterlife

[hazy badge]

I think she doesn't get a lot of reruns or screentime because of how closely she is linked to death. She's arguably one of the most popular characters in the game and has been used in multiple collabs. She's a money printing machine. lmao

[kindred elbow]

yeah lol

[twilit fossil]

it's not in the spotlight like Genshin, hell a lot of Genshin players only know Honkai exists because they play Genshin. XD

[stone pendant]

i lost the first year and a half of rolls

or i would be in the top 0.1%

fuck you mihoyo

[rare imp]

[steel widget]

[limpid crow]

Just rolled this great little piece for Raiden

Now I just need to keep hunting for a CR circlet

[stone pendant]

[sly plover]

My story of getting sara cons

[nova urchin]

fuckin hell man someone cursed me

[remote otter]

electro itto piece

[steel widget]

I rolled this for the memes

[tribal breach]

hand it over

[rare imp]

Ayo

you are in the line

Join the queue all the way in the back

[tribal breach]

as a day 1 raiden puller i think i should be closer to the front

[calm pagoda]

I'm not even gonna join the queue

[neat kindle]

why would u even

level an atk circlet

who even uses one other than shenhe

[remote otter]

why not

[median quiver]

those who use aqua simulacra

that thing suffers in atk

[hazy badge]

Depending on your crit damage and weapon, Blizzard users benefit from an attack circlet.

[radiant hill]

TOES IS GOOD

caps

[radiant hill]

ah yes
attack itto

Dori infusion

to electro

[neat kindle]

? it's still fairly terrible

[neat kindle]

somehow i doubt it'll outscale a nice crit dmg circ

%atk isn't hard to find after all, 4no, ttds, freedom sworn etc

[fast pike]

Went back to eosf for the new year and got a great gift to celebrate the new year, 4 line start all CRIT

[hazy badge]

The only thing that domain gives me are good SR pieces.

I don't have a character that uses 4 SR.

[fast pike]

I have like 8 chars on a 4eosf build

Just trying to get better Raiden pieces

[hazy badge]

That's what I'm looking for right now as well.

[fast pike]

That feather is useless for her unfortunately

[hazy badge]

That's a picture.

[fast pike]

On set ER sand or goblet is what I want the most

Original banner C6 gamer, simped for her before she was even considered Meta

[uneven saddle]

I want more CR on Raiden ngl

[hazy badge]

She needs... work.

[fast pike]

I remember people bitching about Raiden/Beidou not working together and complaining about her DMG cause no one had the catch yet and decent emblem pieces

[hazy badge]

Now she's one of the most cracked units in the game.

[fast pike]

With catch ATK goblet is preferred, but otherwise relatively solid stats, also flower as off piece is pretty unusual

[hazy badge]

I unfortunately do not have an attack goblet right now and that one is on-set, so this is what she gets for now.

[fast pike]

Just pull on weapon banner

[hazy badge]

I threw her into GO and this was the most optimal setup she could have, so yeah. Off-set flower is weird, but I don't argue with GO. lmao

Sure. Swipe for me so I can still get Yelan and Hu Tao in 3.4.

Her C2 and weapon are going to be the next thing I save for, I think.

[uneven saddle]

Need more CR

[fast pike]

It's not necessary for any content currently, but still helpful for Wolflord shield skip and such shenanigans

[hazy badge]

Oh I know. I just want it because I really like playing her and she's good.

[kindred pumice]

For a sec there, I thought David was back

[hazy badge]

David would just link his Nahida build 80 times and tell us we're all wrong.

[kindred elbow]

imo mine could use some work but she's good for now

[green cloak]

And my poor Shogun

[sly plover]

Your shogun's actually decent for pjws

[true tide]

still no 50/50 wins, but...

[rich sleet]

Your percentage us 2.37
Mine is 1.52

[calm pagoda]

I'm at 1.9 myself

[true tide]

woah so lucky

[rich sleet]

Are you mocking

[true tide]

oh wait i misunderstood

forgot its the percentage for all the pulls

this the one on my mind

thought ur talking bout this one

[calm pagoda]

how would we have seen that lol

[rich sleet]

top one shows how oft you win 50:50
bottom one shows how many of your pulls have been 5stars

[sly plover]

well....

[rich sleet]

In theory, I should have 35 5stars on event banner
I have 33

so missing 2 5stars based on the average

[true tide]

yeah kinda groggy rn my bad

[rich sleet]

I got Jean on event 3x, on standard 4x

[sly plover]

my luckiness is shit though

[sly plover]

lemme drop mine too

huh... apparently im lucky on weapons?

[rich sleet]

and the perk of being a Day 826 player

[sly plover]

oof

0.2%

how many pulls would that be

[rich sleet]

could've been higher had I not lost the first 3 weeks of my history

[rich sleet]

590

[sly plover]

lucky ass bitch in 3 categories

[calm pagoda]

idt standard unluckiness is lucky

[sly plover]

no imean'

in each type, first 3 category of luckiness

[rich sleet]

I had a good start with weapons banner till after EL

[calm pagoda]

oof

[sly plover]

like this 3

[calm pagoda]

pull% isnt a luck stat-

[sly plover]

at least u were lucky with msr

[rich sleet]

all my luck basically

[sly plover]

yea i remember afterwards

and i was too lazy to change that

[rich sleet]

and similar happened in Event Chars

[sly plover]

damn

the progression

it's like genshin slowly pulling you in

[calm pagoda]

mine started well too

[green cloak]

<@&874036938351448094>

Which one is better 👀?

[rich sleet]

"which one" proceeds only showing one

[green cloak]

Discord did it 👀

[calm pagoda]

lol

[green cloak]

I hate discord

[wispy yew]

alternative clients maybe

[calm pagoda]

you can upload both at once yk

depends on the team, 4vv for wanderer flex flex flex

[green cloak]

Yeah i did 👀but idk why only one come

[rich sleet]

no issues on pc

[green cloak]

So 4vv is better 👀?

I use him with Shogun, benny , yelan

Mostly

[wispy yew]

kaeya bridge to inazuma as usual

[calm pagoda]

wanderer shouldn't really be in a raiden team

[plucky beacon]

Anger issues team

[green cloak]

Hmmm 👀 mommy issues again

[plucky beacon]

Put nahida there for therapy

[green cloak]

👀yeah i also use loli god , benny , yelan

Sometimes

[wispy yew]

"loli god"

[green cloak]

👀yep

So hmmm i put him with loli god so which one is better 👀

[plucky beacon]

What's the point of 4vv in a dendro comp 🤔

Unless aggravate

[green cloak]

👀then with Shogun?

[calm pagoda]

shogun isnt that great of an aggravater

[green cloak]

👀 ohhh then tell me what team i should use and which artifact set is better 👀

[calm pagoda]

put raiden in national XD
scara...

idk about scara

[plucky beacon]

National lol but if rational, bench 😂

[kindred pumice]

There's Taser too with 4vv

[hazy badge]

My friend did that and ended up getting both Itto and Jean. Meanwhile I farm for months to get the chars I want.

[stone pendant]

just swipe 4head

[rare imp]

Yeah, gacha is just a disgusting system ngl

they should theoretically do a system where you can at least choose the standard 5*#

if you lose

cuz i would insta bomb c4 jean, c4 mona, c6 keq, c6 tigh

change my mind

[plucky beacon]

It's like you don't know what gacha means

[hazy badge]

The game is a money printing machine that allows them to invest into existing or new projects. They have zero incentive to change the system.

Because people still swipe for banners.

[rare imp]

I know that, but dreaming about a change is at least something i can do for my own sanity

[rare imp]

Mate, tf u on my dick about

[kindred pumice]

[hazy badge]

I honestly care more about gameplay QoL changes at this point than I do trying to change the gacha system because I know that will never change.

Like artifact loadouts.

[rare imp]

I lost all hope when they announced that they don't plan to create a real end-game to not cause "anxiety"

[hazy badge]

I don't even want to open that can of worms. lol

[plucky beacon]

I'm not, you're just saying you like playing gacha but don't like gacha mechanics 😂

[kindred pumice]

TCG is the real endgame

[twilit fossil]

gacha system will only change when they are no longer making money. This is true to almost any game.

[hazy badge]

For sure, but I don't see that happening for a couple of years.

At least.

[twilit fossil]

yeah

[plucky beacon]

If at all 😂😂

[rare imp]

I really don't wanna argue, but please don't put shit in my mouth. I never stated that i like the Gacha-system or Gacha games in general. I quit all other gacha games, as they had no pity system, genshin is my sole gacha game left which i use more as a fight, teambuild game rather actively hunt the wishes to get a adrenline rush.

[kindred pumice]

Even if it does, it won't favor the players

[plucky beacon]

Artifact loadouts is just 🥹🥹🥹 pls mhy

They'll only do it if they are in a downswing rip

[hazy badge]

Artifact loadouts would be a huge QoL change that literally doesn't affect their bottom line.

[stone pendant]

honkai is practically a dead game compared to genshin and rolls in honkai cost more

[plucky beacon]

It doesn't but they'll need it for later to look like they are doing something lol

[rare imp]

Yep, actively seeking my left unused pieces or using other characters as a placeholder is just a hassle.

[plucky beacon]

Ngl lots of games cost more to roll than genshin

[kindred pumice]

Wasn't Honkai more generous to the playerbase tho?

[stone pendant]

it's still ridiculous at about 2.50$ a roll

[rare imp]

They should theoretically increase the map pins as well, we got new regions and tbh my map pins ain't enough for the most part.

[rare imp]

They are

[plucky beacon]

It's expensive to buy but it's actually pretty reasonable in genshin which is wild

[stone pendant]

but at least you get a pity unlike fgo

people legit blew their life savings on that game

[rare imp]

My first gacha game and shall never be ever brought upon the table.

[plucky beacon]

Yeah 50/50 sucks but I do appreciate the guarantee system

[hazy badge]

Honkai is extremely generous to the playerbase because they want to retain it. One of the main characters is getting a banner in the next patch that is extremely generous. Every ten pulls you do on it, you get five back.

[plucky beacon]

Genshin playerbase is still too big rn for them to be generous tbh

[rare imp]

Yep, has a playerbase that are loyalist to the core.

[stone pendant]

hoyoverse just needs to release their mmo

[hazy badge]

The problem is that the game is just menu speed running at a certain point and it is incredibly easy to get burnt out on. I know I sure as fuck am.

[stone pendant]

so i can quit genshin

[rare imp]

Genshin MMO?

[stone pendant]

dunno if it's genshin

[hazy badge]

That's never going to happen. MMO's aren't nearly as profitable as gacha games.

[stone pendant]

but it will be in their universe

so we might get some character overlaps

[rare imp]

Same here

[rare imp]

That could be nice?

[hazy badge]

Star Rail is still a gacha game.

[rare imp]

I am waiting for the LoL / Riot MMO

[hazy badge]

And I can't think of any other projects.

[stone pendant]

genshin is legit made for the ojisans to play for 30minutes on their commutes

to and from work

so we will never get good endgame content

[kindred pumice]

I am waiting for Arcane S2

[rare imp]

Yeah

It's gonna be tight man

im so hyped

also Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunner needs a new season adaptation, shit can be brought up endless with smth like Hernandez and Kushyna story

[plucky beacon]

Me lmfao

[rare imp]

Though its gonna be bitter sweet as always.

[hazy badge]

They put Abyss in at the start of the game because they wanted to see what the playerbase was going to evolve into. The players didn't like the Abyss because F11 and F12 can be ass some rotations, so end-game never got invested in. They probably also realized that casual games make more money than hardcore game. Larger audience.

[plucky beacon]

[twilit fossil]

and they'll never lose enough hardcore gamers to counter the number of casuals they can maintain.

[stone pendant]

tcg is the endgame

[rare imp]

I personally think they should entertain all playerbases to a degree, but in the end its always about their cost of return / keeping it going.

[stone pendant]

you're not getting anything else

just release mmo

[twilit fossil]

I agree they should diversify their end game so as to better provide some value to different types of players. However hardcore gaming is almost never worth the investment.

[stone pendant]

stop ruining my dream of going pro in genshin

[rare imp]

[kindred pumice]

[twilit fossil]

if they make it genuinely challenging they'll piss off the whales, and if they make it too easy they'll never get the notoriety of having a challenging game. It's a lose/lose situation.

[plucky beacon]

Yup so they'll just go to what the whales want instead

[plucky beacon]

Instead of trying to please everyone they instantly identified their target

[stone pendant]

unluckiest man alive

[plucky beacon]

Nah there are 16% less lucky than you

[twilit fossil]

I mean there are whales that -want- the end game content, but again it's a lose/lose. They'd please maybe 5% of whales while pissing off maybe 50% of them because they paid to win and aren't able to do that.

[stone pendant]

there are hardcore whales ar 55+ who can't beat the abyss yet

those people will just exist regardless

[stone pendant]

i wonder where i'd be if i didn't lose the first year and a half of roll stats

[left juniper]

i am a hardcore whate 53 AR who didnt do abyss at all and so far opens the game to roll for waifu

[rare imp]

Same here

[twilit fossil]

those are the other 45%, you'll always have the complacent players in every group.

[rare imp]

i lost my rolls after first yoimiya banner until yelan banner

[left juniper]

I lost a year of roll stats

[plucky beacon]

The biggest whaler I know did 8-3 and called it good for the last two years lol

[left juniper]

I have it since kokomi banner but im playing since 1st venti banner

am the OG

[twilit fossil]

I mean when you're already swiping what really is the incentive to torture yourself in the abyss?

[stone pendant]

it's not really torture at that point

if you just build your characters...

[plucky beacon]

Exactly

[stone pendant]

the game practically plays itself

i can't remember the last abyss i struggled in

[plucky beacon]

Nope building requires torture

[rare imp]

Wait, that is possible?

[plucky beacon]

C6 kazuha does less than my c0

And she's happy unlike me

Lmfao

[twilit fossil]

it's not playing the abyss that is torture, it's farming the artifacts to be able to play the abyss. 😛

[stone pendant]

even with mediocre 5 star artifacts i feel like it would be ez clap

[kindred pumice]

And then not critting, even with 80% crit chance

[twilit fossil]

it is not.

[plucky beacon]

It's not an easy clap with atk HP def circlets

Hardcore genshiners have no clue how most whales play tbh

[twilit fossil]

I mean, maybe it is if you want to just throw down with the current meta group and don't really care about actually playing the characters you like.

[plucky beacon]

Yup

She just c6s anemo boys because anemo boys

Not because they are useful

Her venti uses viri hunt because of aethetic

[stone pendant]

it's probably not even that bad tbh

[plucky beacon]

HP sands

[rare imp]

[plucky beacon]

She enjoys herself while I gotta venture into the hellhole twice a month so who's winning

[kindred pumice]

You?

[plucky beacon]

Only cus I save money I guess 😂😂

[wispy yew]

i want to be like that but i can't feel satisfied without abyss

im ok with not getting in floor 12 this time tho everything's against me there in that floor and i haven't fully built everything i wanted yet

[rare imp]

u can build teams

per chamber

[stone pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-gif-11919610

just do 600k damage with raiden shogun

[rare imp]

so if you lets say 3 star the first, you can quit and build a team for the second chamber

[wispy yew]

yeah but none of them are good enough for wolf guy yet

[rare imp]

you dont need to go for the 3 stars in the first

[wispy yew]

i have ganyu but prototype crescent doesn't let me

[rare imp]

I see

[wispy yew]

yeah easy amirite

i hate how effective a weapon's substats can be

when im finally able to say i have a decent ganyu these no weak point bosses show up and it's shit

eh whatever no use complaining

[stone pendant]

just pray for a amos bow on the standard banner

with your free rolls

a ton of people i know got it that way

[wispy yew]

i wish that'd happen man

i got skyward spine a while ago tho standard hates me

[stone pendant]

hunter's path is also decent

[slow summit]

@stone pendant has leveled up to LEVEL 3

[stone pendant]

if you have wanderes pieces

[wispy yew]

event banners are way luckier for me

[slow summit]

@wispy yew has leveled up to LEVEL 5

[wispy yew]

sadly i use blizzard

i won't get aqua tho change of plans

prolly a polar star will be more helpful, or obviously amos

maybe in my dreams

no rush at least

[stone pendant]

why did amos have to rerun with donut

fucking kokomi

[twilit fossil]

because they hate you.

[stone pendant]

it also reran with engulfing

just to ruin your dreams

[wispy yew]

supposed to

[stone pendant]

dont need anymore donuts ever

[twilit fossil]

o.o

[wispy yew]

damn that's a lot of 5* weapons

maybe if i wouldn't've taken a break I'd be in a better spot

but eh

[twilit fossil]

I love the forsaken level 1 unforged. XD

[stone pendant]

that weapon is dookie butter

[plucky beacon]

Forgot how ass 12-3-2 is 💀💀

[rare imp]

im losing my fcking mind

this wolflord is eating 1 whole ass minute

till i can attack him

[hazy badge]

Welcome to Abyss. Enjoy your stay.

[wispy yew]

Worse than hell

[plucky beacon]

I most certainly will not 👍

6:59 on the wolflord I love it here 👍👍👍👍👍

Oh well did it with two runs idc anymore 😤😤😤

Love when I get random achievements in abyss tho lol

[rare imp]

fuck this game

and fuck the dude behind the spiral cycle

you and your fucking idea of PUTTING 3 bosses

wolflord

who ever designed wolflord

should fucking quit

you sadist fuck

[remote otter]

just do more dmg

ez

kill it before second phase

[plucky beacon]

Wolflord is easy if it wasn't right before all its demon spawns

[limpid crow]

What in the whale

[slow summit]

@limpid crow has leveled up to LEVEL 5

[rare imp]

mate

what

he goes invincible when you attack him, he starts shooting the pillars

you destroy the pillars and kill him when he is down

thats how he works

[limpid crow]

Just headshot him like duh super ez

Rush B

[rare imp]

what kind of crackhead statement is this

you cannot kill him

when he has his i-phase

[limpid crow]

Killn't

[fast pike]

https://youtu.be/P4BonxO4Qyc

Wolflord skip is ez

[hazy badge]

Blitz through F9-11 and then I'm just sitting here at the party setup screen dreading doing this F12 again.

[fast pike]

https://youtu.be/aUXXvaK9Azk

[rare imp]

how the f

how

i am literally doing vape yoimiya with xq, yelan and zhongli

how do i do less dmg than this

nah man this is tripping me out

im apparently just weak

[fast pike]

Well now you know, that's a start

[rare imp]

but

like

they are good build

i dont understand

[fast pike]

Good builds on DPS are worthless unless You have godlike supports

[rare imp]

no but

they are good build

bro i got no words for this

[plucky beacon]

I'm just in awe of loading time 😂

[fast pike]

If you're on PS4 then when I'm like half done with the floor your first enemies spawn in

[rare imp]

is this c2 shogun, c6 sara, c2 bennett + c2 kazuha?

?

[plucky beacon]

Yeah I think floor 11 had one room where I literally had to wait 17s for the first enemies to spawn 🥹

[fast pike]

Bit higher Constellation

[rare imp]

bro

you are straight up trolling

how am i supposed to do that dps

[fast pike]

Kazuha is C2

[rare imp]

skill issue my ass, he has the credit card on his side

[plucky beacon]

It's a skill issue to not have credit card 😂😂😂😂

[rare imp]

xD

jajaja

hahahah

[fast pike]

Well my Ganyu is C1 R1

[rare imp]

mine as well

what is ur hu tao + yelan

they looked like devious menaces

[fast pike]

I can probably do the shield skip with a hu tao team too, but haven't bothered yet

[rare imp]

w

[fast pike]

My hu tao gear isn't that good, didn't strongbox CW that much yet

[tribal breach]

ive been trying to strongbox cw for months and havent gotten anything good anyway

[plucky beacon]

"isn't that good" shdhfjs

[fast pike]

By whale standards 🐳

When you watch xlice, fobmaster and other max resin refreshing genshin content creators Your standards kinda get skewed

[rare imp]

[tribal breach]

dont have hu tao yet but this will probably be her build, its 2cw 2wanderer

[fast pike]

Seems pretty solid

[plucky beacon]

That's why I don't watch cc 😂😂😂 I have enough irl issues bringing me down, don't need to be sad about my bideo bame builds

Lowish HP, but not bad! Deathmatch?

[hazy badge]

You don't need 40 CV on every piece for a build to be good.

[tribal breach]

well its low hp cause its Cyno

Hu Tao has like 3000 more base hp so all hp% scales higher too

[fast pike]

30CV with useful other subs are superior in most cases to pure CV pieces

[plucky beacon]

Oh right duh 😂😂

[tribal breach]

its with homa but he also wasnt on field so the 20% didnt activate too

wait nvm the 20% does activate off-field

[hazy badge]

Those pieces are incredibly rare though. Just getting four useful subs on a piece is difficult. lol

[plucky beacon]

And getting 30cv is rare

So both good subs and 30cv 💀

[hazy badge]

I mean not really.

[tribal breach]

getting the subs is the easy part, actually rolling them is the hard part

you can get double crit artifacts all the time but if they keep rolling 80 flat def its not gonna matter

[plucky beacon]

😂😂😂

[fast pike]

Just be hoyoverse favorite child

[plucky beacon]

Hello operator I'd like to order an unalive

[hazy badge]

Do you resin refresh?

[plucky beacon]

Of course

[tribal breach]

i dont

i use fragiles though

[plucky beacon]

Kiss does it all 🥹

Why he got Chad builds

[fast pike]

Up to three times per day depending on how many new chars are in a patch

[tribal breach]

i mean my builds are good and i dont refresh, a lot of it is just luck

[hazy badge]

Then yeah. You get a much larger pool over the average player. The most I'll do is one and that's only if I really want to finish something up that day.

[tribal breach]

boba man

[plucky beacon]

Nice boba

[tribal breach]

i wish the goblet didnt roll 27% def

[stone pendant]

when i meet hoyos mom i'm gonna ask her why every one of my artifacts have def on them

[hazy badge]

Because it is skewed towards them.

Pretty simple. lol

[fast pike]

It's kinda necessary to resin refresh if you wanna build every char in genshin like me, otherwise you'd be completely stuck with the ascensions with 90% of your resin for a long time and only have gladiator and wanderers pieces

[tribal breach]

all of my characters are at least 70/80 (didnt level them cause books) but ive also been playing for a while so it was gradual

[plucky beacon]

I'm still working on my lvl 70s almost done!

[hazy badge]

The only characters I have at 80 that I don't use on a regular basis are Keqing and Yanfei.

[plucky beacon]

Gunna get some books from ley line event

[hazy badge]

I'm getting some important characters to 90 though.

[plucky beacon]

Diluc. Diluc at 90 and benched basically

🥹🥹🥹

First 5*

[plucky beacon]

C6 your benny

[tribal breach]

never

[fast pike]

Within the next like 6 months all my chars are probably gonna reach level 88/89

[plucky beacon]

Also damn the level 90s like you just burn resin on books or

[tribal breach]

i buy bp so i get an extra like 110 books every patch, plus events give extras and i buy them with the teapot coins every week too so i always have a lot

i get more per patch than it takes to level up a new character every patch

[plucky beacon]

Fair enuf

[tribal breach]

my supply has dropped though

[plucky beacon]

Burning resin on bosses is ulgh tho

[tribal breach]

i got yae, heizou, dori, faruzan and layla within the span of a few weeks

this is all i have left

i used to have over 2500

[plucky beacon]

Bruh

[tribal breach]

i think leyline overflow is soon right

i still havent finished this

i fell so far behind on achievements

im at 702/857

if i just finished everything i should be at around 820 again depending on how many sumeru commission achievements there are

[stone pendant]

i'm ar 60 and only at 500 achievements

can't be assed

[tribal breach]

ive just been busy

school + college apps + i keep getting sick

[stone pendant]

i lost my urge to explore in this game

it's just the same thing over and over

[tribal breach]

i understand that, i just dont feel that way

it can be repetitive but i find it fun to just pick a few characters and run around for a while

if i get bored i just swap around the party and mess around with a different team

[hazy badge]

In the grand scheme of things, exploration is what I play the game for at this point. Yeah, I like to min-max my characters, but exploring new zones is really what keeps me here. lol

[hazy badge]

Rational is so cracked.

[hazy badge]

So much better than the 98 battles fought last cycle. lmao

[plucky beacon]

98 😐😐

I actually enjoyed using my yae for a bunch of rooms this round 👌👌

[hazy badge]

It was 98 when I got nine stars, but I went back in when I got Raiden and tested a bunch of comps.

[plucky beacon]

Raiden really helped huh

[hazy badge]

Who would have guessed.

[rare imp]

XL is just top dog

she just straight up carries my ayato team

without any competition

[tribal breach]

i forgot to give Gorou his fav bow back before running abyss, he was in there with his level 1 hunters bow

[plucky beacon]

Seems like it was on purpose, hunter

[rare imp]

same here

venti had my fav

[tribal breach]

not on purpose, i had to reset Wolflord a few times cause i didnt have bursts in time 😦

even with C2 Itto still needs his battery

[plucky beacon]

🥹🥹 you didn't enjoy my pun huh

[tribal breach]

nah i chuckled a little

[uneven saddle]

Hehe
||Because I had JH help me with my abyss||

[calm pagoda]

hehe

[plucky beacon]

Ayo raiden pls

Chill

[calm pagoda]

she's C2R1

[plucky beacon]

Did it take down wolf without shield

[calm pagoda]

buffs were atk%, em and burst dmg bonus

raiden was first half

xiao was second half

[plucky beacon]

Pogo nice

[kindred pumice]

Noice

[calm pagoda]

I just needa make thumbnail for that

tis all

[kindred pumice]

My 60% crit rate ganyu failed too many crits on 12-3-2
I'll have to retry now

[calm pagoda]

sadge

and she even has the cr passive for CA

[kindred pumice]

Exactly!

Imagine failing to crit with 80%

[calm pagoda]

my ayaka against cryo afflicted enemies:

(not frozen, just cryo aura)

[kindred pumice]

[plucky beacon]

Crit is a lie

Friendship ended with crit builds, new best friends with hyperbloom

[calm pagoda]

em ftw

[plucky beacon]

Wonder if I actually put Kuki on gd, I could 9* single run lol

Nice, Shop or gacha

[calm pagoda]

lol I put raiden on gd and I could single run

shop

[uneven saddle]

FINALLY

[plucky beacon]

Hopefully next abyss is better lol didn't use any anemo for this blessing lol and it showed 😂

[calm pagoda]

and this month's standard wishes give me...widsith

cool

[plucky beacon]

Better than my eye!

[calm pagoda]

also got this tdy

[plucky beacon]

Nice

[calm pagoda]

now I need to update my xiangling build graphic

[plucky beacon]

I will soon have dori and Layla cards and can go back to not spending ages in domains just for friendship lol

[calm pagoda]

lol I don't even do domains with friendship chars

[plucky beacon]

Most domains I try to friendship

[calm pagoda]

most domains Idgaf

[plucky beacon]

Unless they were all lvl 20

Diluc carrying in vinegar domain 💪

[calm pagoda]

emblem: funerational
husk: ayaka freeze
BS: Rational with sayu instead of xq

sayu, diluc and ningguang will be done soon

[plucky beacon]

What is team comp in domains lol

[calm pagoda]

the only one I use friendship chars is in mond weapon domain

cuz ayaka can solo

[plucky beacon]

That's like one of the few domains I usually won't try to friendship lol

[calm pagoda]

lol

[kindred pumice]

Ganyu better

[calm pagoda]

for that domain, yes

and there's the updated graphic

[kindred pumice]

And I am done

[kindred pumice]

How much does she vape for 🤔

[calm pagoda]

in ayato international i believe it was 49k?

vs non-weakened pma

but she was on fav

[kindred pumice]

I gotta give her better pieces. Mine does ~38k

[plucky beacon]

Does weakened pma take more dmg???

[calm pagoda]

yea resistance decreased

[plucky beacon]

[kindred pumice]

How do you not know that

[calm pagoda]

jayci...

[plucky beacon]

🤷

[kindred pumice]

Skipping tutorials, I see...

[calm pagoda]

in other news, tao did 100k CAs on weakened PMA

[plucky beacon]

I often get tutorials in abys tbh

And then proceed to not read

[calm pagoda]

did you not see the countless nukes on weakened PMA

[plucky beacon]

I dunno I thought it was cus it wasn't a specific type of element so it was consistent for different characters???

I feel like I've been a clown on here long enough that this shouldn't come as a surprise tbh

[kindred pumice]

Raiden and Scara boss also have reduced resistances just FYI

[calm pagoda]

just...much more

[plucky beacon]

I realised after a while lol I initially thought ppl just did raiden cus she has so much hp lol

[calm pagoda]

it's actl better if you do lvl60 raiden lol
