weapon banner owes me an early 5 star
Your 50/50 luck sucks
im aware lol
i think i might just pull for a 5 star on the Albedo banner, if i win 50/50 then i win the game but if i lose then i just hold out till Itto i guess
i can still guarantee Albedo but i would not be able to guarantee Itto whatsoever, im not sure if id even be able to get a single 5 star on his banner
unless... 💸
id rather get the weapon i want than the character 
took so many wishes just to get the 4* bow that i just had to go for the 5*
and then got amos bow
pain
waiting for my ganyu 🤞
R5 Stringless imo (ER as a main weapon stat is unnecessary and can be countered adequately with substat rolls)
Aighh for sure
elegy can be better on venti for the support-capabilities if you already stack triple EM in mainstats and need stringless for fischl etc @obtuse saddle
Ahhh Got it
I think I had r1 string tho
Hmm I don't even have venti anyways AhahahHA
I still have R1 stringless
I have six 5 star weapons and only one copy of Stringless
50% of my 5 star weapons are Gravestones...
I'm gonna have R5 Gravestone before Sumeru drops at this rate
I have no sac frags here lol
I have one sac frags
Got it when i first started the game, never got one again
Actually no wait I think I have 2
Nevermind only have 1
is the sac better on yanfei then the widsith?
can someone review my account?
i have been playing for like 2 months
f2p, i reached ar53 and i am having a difficult time
what is this salt section for?
Complaining about the shitty wishing system lol
ohhh
Or just suffering in general
sorry i put my phone down, i wished on weapon banner lol
i dont really care for hu tao
but homa tho???
i mightve sacrificed Albedo to get it
i started at 42 pity with no guarantees, and got my THIRD COPY of Gravestone at wish 68
i was super on the fence about going all in for Homa because i REALLY wanted it (i lost my 50/50 to Gravestone on its first banner back in March so i was DESPERATE for it this time) and since i technically did have the primos for it i went for it
because i got Gravestone i had a guarantee for one of the two rate-up weapons and thankfully i won Homa instead of Elegy. i wouldnt mind Elegy but i wouldnt want it over Homa
however that took me another 65 wishes, meaning if i lose my 50/50s on both Albedo rerun and Itto in the next update then i wont be able to guarantee one of them, most likely Itto, unless i spend money
spend more* money, i already buy bp and welkin
shit i forgot to update all my constellations on the website
396 days and still C0 Kaeya btw
c9 barb 💀
yup...
i wouldve LOVED to get Spine instead of my third Gravestone
I don’t use much pole arms :’)
i literally have like double the amount of claymores as there are claymore characters in the entire game
ah that sucks
six 5 star weapons, 4 of them are claymores, 3 of those claymores are gravestones lmao
3 pole arms and 1 gravestone for me
i finally got Homa today so i can no longer say i dont have a 5 star polearm
nice! I also got homa after the skyward spine but the amount of copium I needed when I looked at my primogems being f2p
but i still do not have a bow nor sword
same
one of my friends has jade cutter, mistsplitter and r2 aquila
like man
i wouldnt complain about my large quantity of claymores if i had a bunch of unique ones like he has swords
but like what am i gonna do with three gravestones...
my low spender heart couldnt take refining a 5 star weapon
yeah I don’t think I can refine a 5 star either, also is it okay to continue this conversation in salt? lol
yeah
i still dont have Sayu lol
i didnt want yoimiya so i didnt pull, and i dont want hu tao so im not gonna pull here either
Hu Tao is my first limited character
ah nice
I’ve been playing the game since like June
shes really good, i just dont need/want her
I did it partially because I have the artefacts for her but also because I haven’t gotten a limited character so why not :’)
makes sense
You certainly picked the right character to get. 

After 130 pulls, still no thoma. He’s rarer than hutao
and thats exactly why i dont pull for new 4 stars lol
i'll get them when i get them
I pull for hutao but also hoped to get him
Today’s loot:
Mona
Hu Tao
Elegy
Lost Prayer
Homa
nice
my loot was
2 painslasher
2 wave spear
2 moon bow
2 sac sword
1 widsith
1 bennett
1 diona
1 xinyan
1 gravestone
1 homa
Way to go!
gravestone havers 🤝
I DON'T WANT THAT PIECE OF SHIT
i wouldnt say i dont want it
i just dont want THREE
GIVE ME SOMETHING NEW
GIVE ME HARP
PJWS
ANYTHING BUT WGS
I refuse to use it actually, same with diluc, because Day 1 everyone was like R5 C6 diluc WGS or you are bad
oh,and I got even more of a hate for diluc when he cucked me on OG zhongli banner at 85
ah rip
i got him on the klee banner cause i just wanted a 5 star, and in retrospect im very glad i didnt get klee because i do not like her
then that set me up for guaranteed zhongli
just 🐳
F
Strangely seeing a lack of Qiqi this go around.
my sis got qiqi, then hu tao at 20
That's... acceptable I think; I'd be pretty hyped about that
I was hoping for a weapon-
Standard banner btw
Well on the positive side Jean steadily gains power with each Con.
Hmm

My layout of characters is so frustrating… was forced to take a 4 month break due to broken computer and so hopelessly behind in characters.
Don’t have a character that uses a bow for actual damage making Spectors just such a pain in the ass.
Don’t have Zhongli and his shields are 5x better than everyone else’s… so stupidly over powered and required for Hu Tao.
… no sign of a Zhongli rerun, no Ganyu rerun, no Venti rerun…
Ning
ah yes my worst nightmare that gonna appear in my hu tao banner
fischl oz can chip the hp bit by bit
Look at all of us and our Hu Taos! 
Unbuilt trash
Haha I'm sure they all just got them. Chill chill
If you can't do a million dmg don't even talk to me
Stop being toxic
Can't take a joke

that lvl 69 hutao 💀
Nah, I gotchu, don't worry haha
Only the best
ye syed
i wasnt even planning on raising hu tao
but shes super good 🧍
lvl 70 hutao carrying on floor 11
Ugh... maybe I'll try 11 again right now
she carrier harder than my lvl 81 diluc 😭
Harder than my lvl 90 Diluc too, I'm sure
My Diluc team isn't the one that's struggling, though
Diluc jobless, cause only 1 xingqiu 
Wine can hardly pay the bills these days. Poor Diluc
!c hu tao
Definitely don't talk to Ei after level 80. XD
Already have her at 60 
My heroes wit is being burned
Me spending 4 mil mora in the last 24h, built up Sayu and Thoma 70/80, 6/6/6 talents and Homa level 90
oh nice!!!
What's left of my Ressources 
Elite farmer
you've been farming hard on hoarders
200-300k mora per day from mobs 
Now show us your domain resources 
omg
what AR are you?
ah thats might be it
58
Close nuf
Don't have much stuff that costs resin, since I mostly immediately use them
Also I spent 13/14 crowns already 
Triple crowned anyone?
imma get going guys!! it was nice meeting you both :3
You too
😄
Ningguang
As you SHOUKD
Beidou, Raiden shogun, double crowned
Zhongli, xiangling, ganyu, xingqiu, Fischl, Bennet 1 crown
Saving my Mora for triple crowning Albedo
You too and see you around 
I’ve crowned Razor’s normal attack and thats it 

im probsbly going to triple crown kaeya
Was 11 million yesterday
Mihoyo doesn't allow that 
Dw you can tell me, what did you threaten mihoyo with for that mora?
time. He threatened them with time.
he spent more time than they could adequately provide content to consume his income.
Sadly there is too much to do with resin to only spend it on ley lines
i got broke
-I mean for me, who needs to crown 5 more talents
I feel ya
I don't even have the 800 leylines achievement yet🙈
by my understanding he doesn't use resin on ley lines, he circles the map and collects the free low level artis and sells them.
there's quite a few places you can acquire these at, and if you do it every day, it adds up to a significant chunk rather quickly. It's just more effort than I care to spend lol
So your job is a trash picker?
How much do you get paid daily? 👀
alright, 1 mora per minute it is.
hard maths
Technically, 1 mora per minute would be 1440 mora per 24 hours
We get around 6k Mora just by collecting one exquisite chest you find in 2 minutes using a treasure tracker
Okay sorry, I ruin the fun lol
20 min for 60k exp or mora
In inazuma there are some clusters where you can get thousands of mora in 1 min
Collecting these little chests in the sea who give 5k Mora each? 
Like the wreck seiraimaru, has 18 spots inside
Investigation spots
They respawn daily, the boxes don't
for some reason the salt feel more tasty today
salt always tastes better from somebody else' cheek.
genshin story gonna ended if in dainslef quest,lumine and aether come home
fck abyss and tevyat
let them fight for supremacy
I thought I didnt have a chance
Why
albedo moment
I HATE FARMING COR HIM
@stuck fiber can you please pull 1 hu tao for me?
I really really want one im desperate
too sad that thing took away all my luck...
i wish i could do it for you my luck has been insane recently
i just got my third skyward pride and i want to fodder it to dull blade
this is every five star ive ever gotten from character banner
and this is weapon banner
plus a ten pull for homa literally 5 mins ago
is that like over 2000 lifetime pulls?
nice
i whaled for raiden and thats about it
everything else was one top up or less
mostly less
highest top up? I guess it's do-able with all the greens
I got unforged and gave up
I wish i could whale.... i dont even have a credit card 😭
memory of dust and polar star weren't wanted. I was trying to get the 4* weapons and got extremely frustrated
thats a good thing.
I don't have one either btw
i got c0 last time and c1 this time
by saving
nothing, I guess?
Oh...
let me do conversion real quick
oh ok
more than 2k USD
brooooOOOO
thats since march
oh right, forgot you mentioned top ups, lol
i haven't bought anything since raiden because i realised how much i was spending
:(
sorry mate
yeah, thats like half a gaming pc
i lose 5050 too
im sorry
The biggest pack is 50 pulls?
yes
99 usd if its the charging thing?
Usually u can get 40 pulls from one top-up of 50$
That’s not using codashop, but going on the account to get something
@marble ingot Ik
But i have a top up bonus
still 100 then because you need 8000
yes
and the 15$ pack is also a 10 pull if u combine the bonus
Man who am i gonna convince
you have the first time bonus, shouldn't really be counted
you have the first time bonus, shouldn't really be counted
@opaque vector the first time bonus is bad? or..
its not bad its just a one off
I mean you only get it once, so you get less next time
does anyone need skyblock coins 🙂
not me
I cant actually
Its jot that, this is quite possibly the worst circlet I have
Which tab to get guide photos
hii.. just want to ask you guys opinion.
what do you think is this a good pull or bad one?
total pull 424 pulls.
i got 2 hu tao
1 qi qi
2 elegy
1 toma
what do u think guys?
1 thoma is bad
i think it's good
2 elegy is... well...
yeah that is i agree
but how about as whole?
is that good pull or bad one?
is that so... to be frank i almost heartbreak when i got 2 elegy i don't need that bow man lol..
Well, if you were aiming for hu tao, then it's a good pull
RNG do be like that

well i know i being greedy here but i aim for both though so really i dont know if this is a good pull or bad
did you got thoma or staff of homa?
Well, you reached your goal of getting both Tao and Homa
That's amazing luck
You can see the rest as just how gacha is
oww.. thanks your words is really make me feels better thanks ^^
btw do you think mihoyo will run another rerun for hu tao?
Don't be harsh on yourself, it's your money and you got what you wanted

My best guess is that reruns will be a common thing to fill content gaps
so you mean that it will another rerun for her?
helll yeah
It's no coincidence she came around halloween
I'd say, don't count on it, but keep it on the back of your mind to save a bit

ok roger that..
Im personally saving for klee rerun next year
If not, well, i'll have wishes saved anyways

If you have a use for the bow it's ok, but otherwise rip for hitting the guarantee for Homa to get it🙈

Hey, I just wanna ask what weapon is better for Hutao? I only have the blackcliff and the prototype-
wow.. hopefully i get her ^^
yeah i know that's why i feel heartbroken
for me blackcliff then
Oh oki ty
if that's the only weapon you have, I'd say black cliff. But if you have Dragon's bane I suggest using it.
Pls take my c2 sayu
I'm tryna get the dragon's bane too but it doesn't wanna come home ;-;
it'll come home, just pray!
we pray to rng'sus
Yep yep!
It's actually fun to farm crystal flies now lmao
*/gives you sayu
where :
Eh- invisible?-
In your dreams
Then repeats after c6 could be useful other than giving another wish
Yess
Good guide I found for this, thanks to Kyo, very helpful, thanks for the heads up!

CAN U WHAEL FRO EM
that def 😰😰
Omg bruh
The Def is not the issue, 18,8k hp WTF 
is 18k even considered as high?
my ayaya got 23k hp
double trouble
Might be an EM build
Vaporized focused comps stand to benefit more from an EM sands over HP%, at the cost of some survivability and increased difficulty in balancing under 50% when using a healer
EM sands with good substats are difficult to come by, so you ought to just punch the numbers into a calculator to see; but given how driven and committed Hu Tao members are, high investment is pretty common
this is mine
Use E and show off that purdy atk increase
Nice crit rate and EM 
I think between 150-200 EM is optimal for melt, more than 300EM really has diminishing returns, at least that's my experience with xiangling and dragonsbane when she had like 500EM
500 
I have a pretty solid HP% sands, but reaction damage stacks higher for my build with EM on it (even with worse substats)
mine is only a baby :c
Xianglings Ascension Stat is EM plus EM from weapon, a few EM rolls here and there you got 500EM🙈
In testing with an Amber Elegy, I derived waaaaaay higher attack stats from the buff with EM focus over HP% focused (even with the diminishing returns)
ah yes,the salt here is made of salt
so, seems R5 Moon bow is equal to R1 Thundering Pulse on Sara sub DPS for the Raiden comp
at least according to seka rn
i think this is the reason ppl simping hutao
Technically mine is a salt post
well this is salt server
I am never gonna be able to replace this
that a good one for who tao
Used to be zhongli's
What set are running? I see Glad, is that your flex piece?
Now he has this🤓
My best hp time piece from a versatile set, got a few more 40+CV pieces
Btw congrats on C6 hu tao
I’ve done 300 runs of CW and still don’t have a good Pyro% or CR/CD
She your first C6 five star or you whale on other 5 star chars before?
Thank you! I had under average luck prior to her but won all three 50:50 in a row somehow
Only C6
I'm not doing CW at all
I don’t gun for constellations, I just have to be regarded as the Hu Tao main of the friend group

Waiting for another pyro set eventually or that it gets added to artifact strong box
Could use Shimenawa if you have to farm Emblem for XQ
what the/
crimson bitch is so trash, yeah.
so XQ didnt use Hode?
But with my EM focus, that would probably kill me faster without burst
I just need a decent crit rate helmet then I can swap my hu tao to shimenawa, but easier said than done😅
we all know artifact farm is harm and painfull process
If you have 2HoD / 2Nob it’s fine, but I think it’s shifting to Emblem for ER purposes
laughing in ayayaka with 30% ER
Really a substat thing, and the fact that a ton of characters are now benefitting from Emblem
Artifact strong box is so pog, all that gold trash can now give you another shot at a decent piece
I completely forgot you could do that
I have too many sets to level that I’ve never used it
I've got like 177 +20 golds, what the hell do I need anymore artifact exp for 
And you can't even trash 5 Stars for mora 
Wow, I’m a waaaaaaay lower on artifact grind than you
Props to you for that tbh
That’s crazy
After three days I’m ready to punch a monitor and stop so I can go build talents or something else 
Did daily artifact investigation spots for a long time for 50-60k free exp per day, if you're interested just search for artifact spot farming route on Youtube, but take one that's recent cause inazuma added a lot of clusters where you don't have to run much from one spot to another
Ooo
I did the old Liyue search briefly before stopping given how much time it was taking me
The idea of Inazuma is something I didn’t consider tyty
Inazuma spots are much more time efficient
In the mikage furnace there is over 10 in the area and on the seiraimaru shipwreck after clearing the "riddles" there are 18 spots inside that give 1 or 2 artifacts that respawn every 24h
yeah I make an effort to collect them whenever I see them because even if I don't go full hog, every little bit helps.
im out of artifact fodder
Damn I haven't collected the 1 star artifacts in months lol
I'm always out of fodder but I just can't be bothered to spend that much time on them
what's the best sword for aether?
Iron sting for EM or Aquila for physical damage
which ones you have?
ah that's good then, thanks, he's pretty hard to ascend bc u gotta have that yellow-like gem that u only get when u rank up haha
oh i have this too, i used it for kaeya, is it good or not?
i mean is it good for kaeya or not?
Yes
If you have more than 1, i'd recommend it for both Aether and Kaeya
thanks dude! btw if did u talk to clean the sharp in liyue? he gives a pretty good sword

Godspeed in this fantastic land
Crowned hu tao today needed 11 gold books since I got 5 from the level 50 BP reward and did 5 condensed runs
Eula also pulled through and also gave me 3 free silver books
Needed 11 golds with 5 condensed but got 18
Good
Sayu healbot piece?
good
Ah yes, artifucked
Such is the life of the artifact farmer
I will not be doing another artifact domain until 2.3
2 and a half more weeks of leyline and talent farming for meeee
Just gotta hit the crit 
Screw you
give me that
Just get perfect substats and hit crit only, it's really not that hard😉
w t f
So I got another Homa for zhongli 
staff of zhoma
jealoisy
Zhongli dual-wielding Homas
Tested him with homa and from 70k no buff to 100k when under 50% hp
Decided to swipe again cause this God deserves a godly spear, got 1 elegy and Homa in 100 pulls
how have u only got 3 5 stars from limited banner at ar 56?
Actually i have zhongli
Idk why paimon moe didnt include my granpa🤣😭
OWSHIEEEEE
Probably cause you got him on his first banner and started using paimon. Moe more than 6 months later so genshin had already cleared those pulls from the wish history🤓
OHHHHHHHHHHH THATS WHYYYY
That's not right, weapon hard pity is 80 try photoshopping it again to 78
in game, it has 15 page
its 88
that's the reason why i checked it on paimon.moe and the result is the same

im not photoshopping
istg

IK IT BUT ITS 88
i already contact mihoyo for this
well, there was that import bug where the 10-pulls were messed up and Baruna had to manually edit people's info
but you don't need photoshop to edit these days
was the elegy the last thing you pulled?
yes
i got it yesterday
thats why i feel it weird
and then i checked on paimon.moe
I mean were there 3* or 4* after it, in the wish history?
maybe mihoyo messed up the display order, then
im still trying to pull homa, wish me luck and i hope this never happen anymore 
this is hurt for f2p
really hurt mihoyo

I got the bow then homa
Congrats 
bsically inspect element can did that
yup
Normally around 65-70
hêhhêhh
vô ar thấp chơi k
give me uid
les't play tonight :D
not hu tao coming home as the 420th wish lmao
Damna
thats a nice start
W or L

I believe it was shortened because the words were too long, oot, but how people recognize?
Idk if it helps but KT stands for kritische Trefferrate which means crit rate in english and KSCH stands for kritischer Schaden which means crit dmg in english
LP is probably something like Lebens Punkte
What is Aufladerate tho?
Energie recharge
Yeah ic
Oh dw
🥲
yes need them both
There aren't really needed chars in this game other than bennett, xingqiu and sucrose in this game tho
ah no but hes really cool
GOod point..
low em rolls too

AAAAA
that was the best thing i got after throwing out like a 100 artis
I used my 16+ 4 Star Berserker flower for a useless Gladiator
show the cr/cd
Of course
i just can't get any semi-good cup
Thanks
lazy~~~
Aight ima grind some electro artifacts
Huh flat Def def%
we need unlimited resin sundays
congratulations!
nice
Welcome to another episode of "Where did the rolls go?"
<----
Yummy
Got 3 dream solvents and this prototype this week from the 3 half price boss loots, I don't do all 5 anymore since I've got enough childe and dvalin mats for all chars that could ever need them already 
I barely even do weeklies, sometimes signora and azdaha but thats about it
Raiden... or Sara?
Really?? I can't miss a weekly boss, gotta hoard those prototypes
I do have more than enough tho
You're also hoarding a lot of mora, Mona and zhongli would like to know your location 
childe : that not even half mora i have
I got no solvents but got a big gem
Pc/IOS
PC
…I cry
Crimson witch of balanced?
Crimson bitch
Perfect for Hu Tao but hmmmmm lose hee
Gib
WEll fuck you
+1
+1
I think they accidentally took it off the loot table for several bosses and only just now realized it.
Zhongli is the expert miner.
best miner
Klee is terrible
Klee still better than sword or spear lol
sets the ground on fire so I can't loot until the fire goes out
psh, you aren't going to die from ground fire. 😛
you're telling me to make Klee walk into a fire? 😛
Unless you Hu Tao and running around at 1hp without a shield out of combat. XD
you can switch before gathering. Lol Just make Bennett go in, that's basically his job anyway.
mine's like lv 20 or something so he will probably die
well it doesn't -have- to be Bennett, it just sits in his wheelhouse to take punishment for being alive. Lol
rocks are done
i think make klee walk to bomb better
there we go
if i ever get around to finishing Jean she can have perma ult with zero effort, but for now its Kaeya's
if I ever get around to -getting- Jean... >.<
it got good chacha moucha design
this is the sword that make me think wind = ameno
Oh shit
im getting hopeful
someone help
How much do y'all wanna bet i'll have at least 60 def once i up it?
Guess not
Close enough
ALL IN ATK%😫
Good for jean
good for ayaka
Jean
Both
finally back over 10k after the Homa Incident™️
homa incident lmao
Homa-less
Im mad about bennett not existing in any banner
Like.. he feels like he's way rarer than other chars
me 2 cuz i not have him now
it was both on standard banner for me while wishing for qiqi
@silver pecan why for qiqi? And yeah same on standard
maybe he doesn't have any healer?
i really need a healer
i have c6 diona atm
instead of qiqi
sayu?
Diona is good enough typically. Also barbara, bennett, etc. Exist
kokomi best healer
i dont have bennet or kokomi
and i have almost full hydro team then
ahahha
saya also not yert
you got barbs though
Barbs ain't bad
xingqiu
for the love of god sake why get razor is hard af
Nah I actually got it but it took going to pity twice
91 wishes on the banner, had 42 pity built up before the banner
Thats why u gonna be Homaless
Shhh
What the
homaless shouldnt make us homeless
It does if someone want too much
arent this was 11 november?
atleast u got thoma and not diona c2
I got that on November 2nd when she came out for me
ultimate healer and shield
The bad part is I don’t use her because I got too many bow characters and only two bows
felt 😭
My main bow is for amber rn and the other is for my future ganyu 🧍♀️
Diona tends to want different bows from the rest of the bow-users anyway. Shouldn't get that much overlap unless you're going against the meta.
Which more power to you if you are!
Yeah, she doesn't like either of those.
The struggle is real.
Amos perfect for Ganyu, though!
well i dont have in mind to pull ganyu tbh
Who do you have Amos on?
give to my Ganyu, she's using harp 😦
i have ayaka,why i need ganyu?
Ooh, very nice very nice.
thats why I said give the bow to me 😛
because ganyu is life
no ganyu no life XD
if i can,i would trade amos with skyward sword
i didnt really like the fact that my ayaya using aquila favonia
I got mist on mine
mistplitter?
ya
how to trade weapon on genshin?
rob their credit card and roll
10/10 way to get banned from life
Mistsplitter would make me actually roll on weapon banner.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QUCRI2jcgk who need ganyu when ayayaka can do this
Ayayaka made me pretty motivated. I have been waiting for this character for a while now and I finally (after 150 pulls) have her! Be sure to like and subscribe for more!
Thank you to Argin (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC51XZYGaOj-V6HcfEnC4z1w) for his Bury the Light + Turles army OST mashup. He makes really well edited Dragon Ball Fighter ...
same same
its so broken
do you think there's some code in genshin that detects streaming and improves the luck?
streamer got c1 Hu Tao and Homa without losing 50/50
you dotn need streamer luck tho i must say streaming once while i wished got me pretty good luck
Probably placebo, but my anecdotal experience seems to coincide with this too. Never won a 50/50 until I started pulling while streaming to my friends.
I was there 😄 wasn't watching tho
?
I was there in the channel when you got that Hu Tao on your first pull too haha!
streamer luck i swear ✊
I was trying to figure out how to watch, lol
Maybe I'll do the same for Mistsplitter.... 
As if I'll have 240 wishes by the time that banner comes back.
You need to reach pity 3 times on weapon banner for guaranteed. It's absolute death.
Pity is 80, but 50/50 isn't guaranteed until 3rd pity.
rigged
I'd rather have the 90 pity with guaranteed on 2nd pity.
But soft pity kicks in earlier, so I guess if you get lucky, it very likely could end up costing less than Character Banner.
qiqi c6
that's just worst case scenario, on average you should get the weapon you want with around 100 Pulls, I did 170 pulls on this weapon Banner and got 2 Homas and 1 Elegy
That's a good point. I just like to be prepared for the worst case scenario haha!
yeah, unless you're just an unlucky bastard.
Pleased to meet you. My name is Lamp Unlucky Bastard Esquire
then just roll for hard pity 😛
assuming you've got the whale for it. If not, save up until next banner
Whale? HA!
I rolled and got WGS. 😛
Yeah, saving for hard pity was what I was saying I'd do from the start.
well there ya go
Even though it's more likely I'll get what I want at around 100.
I mean, gamble now, guarantee later, up to you. shrug
That's the game we all play, when it comes right down to it
indubitably
I prefer to roll the 'I'll throw down what I got when I got it, and damn all this planning and waiting shit. I'll get what I get when I get it.' XD
A bold strategy, to be sure hahaha!
it suits me, I try to avoid whaling where possible, but I'm not opposed to throwing down every so often. I really hate the 80/20 economy concept though and I wish these idiot game developers would quit following it.
80/20? What's that?
80% of income is generated by 20% of the playerbase
just replace the cause and effect for literally anything
Oh I see. Would it be preferable if it was more 50/50?
50:50 would be oldschool games where you bought the game for 40 bucks and had it all
80:20 is abusing whales
So 80:20 is just the gacha economy then, isn't it?
Is there a gacha game that doesn't follow 80/20?
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, since you cannot pay for blades but they are gacha. you can farm them but they take ages to get. and it's single player
Eyy, my favorite Switch game haha!
lol yeah
I guess it's technically gacha yeah, but I never considered it gacha myself. Maybe cause I associate gacha with the ability to make in-game purchases.
Outside of XC2's DLC, of course.
to be fair, Torna is less DLC and more a prequel
Very true. I was more thinking about how there was that one pack that gave you I don't remember how many common, rare, and legendary core crystals.
Technically buying pulls, but you can only make that purchase once, and it wasn't the main draw of making the purchase.
I miss the simpler times when everything was on a single card or disk, and at most free updates with more content
I agree... but to play devil's advocate: Let's pretend that XC2 came out in those old days when DLC wasn't really a thing. Would we have gotten Torna? Would they have waited on releasing the game to include an entirely separate bonus story surrounding a different cast of characters that gives context to the main game? Hard to say, but I think it would have been a lot less likely then us getting the separate DLC story we have today.
In that same vein, I wonder how many of our favorite games had "DLC" stories and experiences that never made it into the final product, and the ideas had to be scrapped; stories that we would have seen had they been released in today's climate which encourages post-release content.
to clarify: I exclude extra missions that were made after the story was completed
I meant specifically the butchering of the main game for profit margins
Oh yeah, I don't think there's any 'devil's advocate' for that haha!
keep in mind, some companies have brought out games, and then gave extra stuff they developed later, either for free or for profit. Torna is a good example. Or pokemon box ruby & sapphire.
idek if EA even started the-- [[rest of this content is available for $4.49]]
I'm okay with folk making a profit, I just think trying to milk the 20% leads to some impractical and unreasonable pricing and roll percentages. There are plenty of examples of games that do not try to milk the whales that are both profitable and enduring, but Asia specifically seems to be most interested in targetting the upper percentages.
The other 50% pirated the game

I mean, depending on how you look at it, Pokemon has been doing this probably the longest ever since Crystal.
EA did not start DLC or loot boxes
right, the JP-exclusive celebi internet event handing out the GS ball
but pretty damn sure started legislature against those
Oh yeah, I forgot about that!
DLC in the 20th century on a handheld console certainly is a trip
they may have been the first to generate legal retaliation against these things, but they were not the progenitors of the concept.
the 'expansion pack' would probably be the progenitor to DLC, may not have been downloadable at the time, but that was more a limitation of the era. Though technically the Atari had downloadable games through dial up services. XD
Dang... it's been there from the very beginning.
I mean games have fancy names for it, but software been doing it since day 1
some of it was paid for, but basically anything that was not 'version 1' was effectively DLC
or the period equivalent.
In my opinion Microsoft committed the biggest crime against gamers by introducing Xbox live gold membership to play online
And because of them Sony and Nintendo also started charging money for playing online which used to be free
sony then also made cross-platform impossible
That's basically the equivalent of Nestlé going to third world countries sucking up the natural water Ressources filling it into plastic bottles and selling it back to the people who used to have free water before
yeah Microsoft has been directly responsible for many of the worst decisions in history. XD
Nestlé: "Water isn't a human right"
Game Pass is kinda cool, though
no
Game pass -now- is kinda cool
original game pass was a shit idea created by asshats trying to profit on what was free.
how was it earlier, and how is it now?
you didn't get shit from original gamepass except the ability to play your Xbox online.
and in fact, you -had to have it- to play any game with online content.
ah got it confused with season passes in every game nowadays lol
But now it's $15 a month to get access to a huge library of games you can play anywhere, with or without access to an XBox console.
so basically, you bought your Xbox to play with friends, now you have to pay a subscription to play games you've already paid for, just because it has online content.
yeah, now it's not awful, because they realized they actually need to provide something that isn't already being paid for by the customer.
technically internet was never free, but charging for it on top of what the customer was already paying for it, was a dumb idea.
idk how it is with switch online stuff. think it's only if the server was under nintendo's control?
everything is different now, switch basically goes back to the 'free' model but they have content you can pay for etc...
i remember the day where playstation 2 is good enough
where all we want to play is simple game like GTA:SA or fifa
heh, I remember active shutter 3d on my Sega Master System. XD
i remember when i dont even know what playstation or phone
where every afternoon what we do is playing football
mostly reading
I missed it, but apparently gamecube had internet access and old SNES(?) or GBA game adapters
I had the GBA game adapters, but I didn't know it had internet!
I knew of none of those, and only had Colosseum and Mario Kart Double Dash
ah mario kart
If you missed out on Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, I'm so sorry
yep I did
I had those and then XD and Melee
oooof
F-zero with a hat. Lol
my favorite game of that time, speak me being in elementary / middle school, is still PMD2
uh, which time? lol
your elementary school years is not descriptive when we don't know your age XD
punch my dad 2?
Only one of the best games ever made (bias alert)
oh pokemon mystery dungeon
uh
not punch my dad
never even heard of it
then again I have an on again off again love affair with pokemon anyway, so it's not surprising
This game is Pokemon only in name and character design.
I gotta catch 'em all, eventually, when I get around to it. XD
ever heard this?
A Digimon fighting game?! Never heard of that, no!
assuming they ever stop making more pokes.
It will never end, hahaha!
that was my best game when i was a child
Explorers of Sky, if you ignore the slow start till apple forest, has the best pokemon story ever, except for maybe pokemon adventures but that's been running for ages and I need to read it ffs
bananas of pineapple
Fun fact, Gotta Catch em' All was a catctphrase coined by the 4Kids dubbing team for the original anime, and was never a thing back when the games first released.
English being the only language where it's not ananas is bullshit
bananas of ananas lol
To be honest, not a high bar, so it doesn't fully explain how amazing the story is!
well this explains why Ash never bothers to actually try to catch them all. 😛
Go actually tries, and got a suicune already
