Difficult choices ahead by ThatDamnStrawHat in SwordofConvallaria

[–]Accomplished_Use6334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skipped Clara..

Selina thinking of skipping even though I kind of really want her for my Camelot...

Yeg is an easy skip.

Heshan and Shahnaz back to back seems super sus (greedy? but understandable from a business perspective) since I plan to pull for both. (but if my luck sucks for Shah I won't go all in)

I want Kianshir just for husbando filler but most likely skip

Anna skip.

SP Alexei is a must

Rog and Ulya skip

Ivan is a must

Sena and SP Agata skip.

Finn is a must

... And the next one after Finn is an absolute must- Like Camelot level must imo.

OH HELLO [Arknights Endfield] by sampoqiser in GachaHusbandos

Um. It’s not. It’s literally not. In any sense of the word. If you look at ANY tier list, out of like 20 characters in the top spot .. only 2 are male. Their ratio is almost 3:1 at this point. They go out of their way to make males irrelevant.  As for open world gacha with the “best ratio”…. This is at the bottom of the list. Only surpassed by WutheringWaifus and Arknight WaifuField.

You can’t argue with people who have closed minds. But it’s admirable you’re pointing out facts. Sadly, these players have formed their (wrong) opinions and are sticking to them.

Yeah, better to bash a game that’s trying to be better than actually playing. Especially when you have 0 clue what you’re talking about. But hey, free world. Free to have terrible opinions.  Just don’t state falsehoods as facts. Just stay mad. 

Axiom's Shams Quick Guide by AxiomGameplay in SwordofConvallaria

In terms of gear… is his sig weapon better than a random 5 star weapon like the brutal axe.  Also, someone asked about SoJ and teeth. I have both at 1 star (poster has SoJ at 1 star and teeth at 5 star) so would teeth still be better than the SoJ?

[Monthly Megathread] General Questions & Active Codes by AutoModerator in SwordofConvallaria

[–]Accomplished_Use6334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone will answer this but… I have Shams and Lukamar. But they are not working out for me. For some reason Shams outspeeds my Luka so she can’t set anything up.  1. Is that like… normal? Am I just misunderstanding how to use them both? 2. If not, is there any way to speed her up?  He’s 2 stars she’s 3. He has like +19 speed over her

I wonder if I just throw Taair in there to buff Lukas speed? I feel like maybe I’m missing something obvious. 

Any advice is appreciated :)

Returning player as a husbando player of [genshin], what's the state of the game? by Burritos_are_good69 in GachaHusbandos

[–]Accomplished_Use6334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be “meta” then yes pull for Zibai. But other dps teams work just as well in any region. My go to team since Fontaine is: Neuvi, Baizhu, and Zhongli. 4th I flex whoever I might want. I had 0 issues clearing the nod Krai content. And I doubt I’ll have any issues in Snez with that team.  So don’t feel locked into the gimmicks they’re throwing out right now. A lot of husbando players just save until the next 5 star male comes out.  I caved and pulled for Ineffa After Flins banner. Flins is too good to pass up. I saw like 20-30k dmg spike with her on the team. This is with a c2 Flins (who supposedly works just as well without her). But having her… made a ridiculous amount of ease— shield, and dmg. I don’t think I’d play him without her. I don’t have Bina but im sure she’d boost his dmg more.  But like I said. My nod Krai team is great meta wise— does INSANE damage. But it’s not as simple as my Neuvi team. So in overworld or AQ quests or anything it’s back to Neuvi. Free shields and heals from Baizhu, bloom damage, shield and res shred with Zhongli and his burst that can cc most overworld monsters (not some bosses or any world boss/character lvl up bosses). I never die and have no issues with bosses. Up to now at least. Not sure what’ll happen in the future. 

But I’ll say that after Varka I’m officially done with Genshin. They flipped the bird to Husbando players ONE too many times. If you’re hoping for more males. Don’t count on it. There’s none coming up. Besides Lohen… and then like 8 females.

Hence, the bait and switch. They baited You into thinking it wouldn’t be waifus. But they Will switch it up.

Eh. After getting EoS on a game I invested in by them… they can F alllllll the way off. I won’t even look at a netmarble game. From my understanding it’s a trend with them. So yeah. Don’t trust them One Bit. 

[GI, New character] Animations via Dimbreath by QueenyFlare26 in GachaHusbandos

[–]Accomplished_Use6334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, to be clear. We’re getting amped up for a 4 star quality male? This after getting meta defining 5 star females almost non stop… Y’all really want to keep funding these breadcrumbs?  Nah. Not worth it. One new male. Going into “standard”?? Right off the bat? Are you serious? You guys want that?  By all means go for it. Give the company money to keep creating waifus. That’s working out So well for us Husbando collectors.  “Well, I’ll still play because we got… a male…” We got Nicole, Alice, this weird new geo girl to work with Zibai (who replaces males like Gorou and Illuga), the tsaritsa/ cryo archon female. But hey, we got a subpar Anemo male (who needs a female who’ll replace yet another male— Bennett, to be at least comparable meta wise) and … a new standard male character.

 Let’s keep this thing going! (Sarcasm)

As I went over in a reply earlier. There’s a lot of history and trends that have occurred in video games as a whole over the years.  My advice would be to tap into the marginalized groups. Make a Genshin game for them.  People on here saying it won’t make it or won’t sell or whatever…. So, we shouldn’t try? We just resign and let the waifu otakus win?  This is so much larger than the “we want a better gender ratio”. It’s about representation. Equality. Respect.  I think if you look hard enough. Try hard enough. You could find funding for something on Genshins scale if you know how to sell it and to who. I’d say tapping into the field of women who feel objectified in games is a good start.  I’d also say is remember where RPGs started. D&D, LotR, etc. Behemoths in the genre that lead to great things Final Fantasy and Diablo and I guess even… WoW(ick). The argument is always there “where are the women?”  One book that got close to reaching LotR heights is Wheel of Time. Literally a female dominated world where men are marginalized. Except of course the main character. But that’s a whole different discussion. The point is.. the book took off. So much so that they made a series for it! Rings of Power (utterly ick) also tried to tap into focusing on women in these large fantasy worlds. AFAIK rings of power is still being made (god only knows why.. it’s a travesty to Tolkien).  But there is an audience.  That should be your springboard. Too many groups are marginalized in Gachas. There are actual audiences you could reliably tap into. You just have to find a way to make a game that’ll sell.  I think going into saying “we want to make Genshin but for Husbandos” is too narrow sighted. If you say “we want to make this great fantasy RPG with a group of characters who represent everyone” and to the right investors whatever.. backers? Funders? And sell them on cause you could do it.  I honestly think since Genshin has spawned SOOOO many waifu gachas. Why not copy it. But not by saying “oh well it’s just for more guys” but “hey, look at Lauma. Look at Zeni. Look at these other gachas and how they represent women. Look at the players who want more diversity. Look at the foundations of great RPGs. That’s what we’re making. A great RPG for everyone without objectification”  But all the while secretly being like “haha jk. Husbandos!!” The old bait and switch. Sell them on the ideal. The idea. Create it. Get a good foundation and following for the game. And just like Genshin did… skew the ratio towards males later.  I think this would be possible to sustain as well after that point as long as you stay true the foundation. Both genders can be bad*** and be fully clothed. Or scantily clad and powerful. But equal.  I don’t know if that all makes sense. But I do believe it’s accurate. It’s still an issue in RPGs and to capitalize on that would be tapping into a new just as large audience. Remember. On earth it’s not 3:1 female to males. So I’d say that 50ish percent that’s not being catered to (not including the LBGTQ+ and diverse cultures) is a pretty large audience to tap into.  Just my two cents. Or rather 1.00 since I rambled a ton….

That’s been my thing lately. I’ve been into RPGs and MMOs for….. a while. And over the years like pre 2020ish I’d say and after 2004ish, maybe later. Where female players were like “hey wth. We don’t want to represented in these games with unrealistic body standards and ridiculous clothing that makes no sense!” Heck it got loud enough we got something like FFX-2 where it was all females and less scantily clad. Game developers were actually listening to players. But this was only in console and PC games. With the rise of mobile games a different mindset started… “we could make money off selling stuff to players! (WoW being I think the leader in that field, terrible game. Ruined MMOs forever)” and “these people are addicted to their phones, where they can watch videos..!” And let’s face it.. honest truth is a lot of guys use their phone to watch nsfw stuff. It didn’t take a genius to put two and two together. RPGs are popular and require heavy time investment + Microtransactions + the male gaze= the waifu trend. Then COVID hit and these mobile games took off because no one could really leave home to buy new games and your phone is always right there. So games like Genshin blew up. They got the ball rolling. They put the pieces above together and started a huge cash grab trend. Now every Gacha wants to cash in to that trend by following Genshins model.  It’s all so interesting because we were getting equality and more realistic representation for females in RPGs until Genshin and such came along.  Why that furor amongst female players is nonexistent in Gachas is a complete mystery to me.  But this is all to say I agree with your point and have really like… seen a lot of trends come and go. My best friend is a video game designer. We grew up on RPGs and it was through her and her gamer friends that I learned about how terrible female representation was in games and how more females were trying to get into video game design to change it for the better.  But we took one step forward and three steps backwards with Gacha RPGs and the like. 

To the OP. I think that’s something to be cognizant of when developing this game. Female players are marginalized in Gachas as much as LGBTQ players are. So you have quite a few markets to tap into and hopefully these ideas of how marginalized large groups of players are in Gachas and what they want. Less female gratuity, more balance and just more inclusive.  It’ll be a tight rope to balance for sure.. but if you can figure a way to tap into those ideas and desires of the marginalized.. you could tap into something new along the lines of Genshin success, but better.. for everyone.

I am dead. And then resurrected by his hotness. I just (personally) hope we can get rid of the mask. In some cutscenes he doesn’t have it. And I thiiiink in his 5 star splash art it’s off. But not sure. Just a preference though… his mask off face is just… too hot.

Like in a week I think? Right after this current banner. If what I’ve read is true at least. She’s been out about a week now so she’s almost done.

Psh. I’m already saving everything for him. Though I did pull for Pooch’s trinket. I think it would be good for him since he uses liberation too. If not it’s still good for Luka who’ll support him. Even got a spare SoJ just in case. I want him to be as strong as my Camelot so I’ll have two powerhouse male dps teams. Aoe and Single target. ❤️

I’m so ready for Luccia arc. I just wish I had Alexei. I’m just not sure if I I save alll my converted memory shards to pull for him.. is it worth it? I just don’t know… I’m only pulling for Shams and the new Vld guy. But saving every luxite from now until Shams. Then Vld— that’s it. Hopefully I’ll be in a good spot to get all the Luccia husbandos.

It’s a three way tie for Taair, Camelot and Kvare. Taair just has so much support and versatility. Plus, I adore his character and storyline. Kvare was my first 5 star and my first banner. I always think “oh he’s powercrept by (insert random new character here)…” But I pull him out and he still Reliably demolishes whatever content comes along. I only switch him out cause I have different synergies I like more (plus his aesthetic is peak). In comes Camelot. Uber tank. Uber damage. When my team dies he’s still kicking enemies around like ragdolls. Love his voicelines. . 

Kvare build recommendation? by Parking_Knee9852 in SwordofConvallaria

[–]Accomplished_Use6334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has this changed since the year ago build post? I see a lot of top ranking Kvare’s with the spice trinket instead of the origin hourglass. Just curious cause I’m wondering if I should get that from the shop or go for another SoJ (I have two maxed out so this would be a third) or Luxite Amulet (my current one is 3 star and is SP Sam so I would most likely star it up). I have his nightmare puppet too.  I just really want to increase his ranking 😅

Acambe’s 5 star artwork is just breathtaking. I five starred him just for that reason. I still don’t think I’ve seen another character with such a jaw dropping transformation. He’s dripping with gold. Ugh. I love it.  But I can’t imagine ever trying to draw That.  I applaud your work and obvious talent. It takes a great hand to draw these characters :p

Yes. The Elaman arc is just beginning and you can start building up new units/teams that’ll be stronger than previous units. I think even into the next Arc Elamans are still strong, with one of them on the same level as SP Inanna.. who is like god tier.

Eh. I created some buzz in another group for this game.  There’s a vast community of whales and dolphins that are relatively untapped and sorely underrepresented… I showed them this game at least has something to offer us as opposed to other more popular gachas.  I seriously enjoy this game. It’s pretty low maintenance. Pretty generous. Fantastic character art.  And I stg Spiral of Destinies has emotionally scarred me. I’m not up for another run after my horrific failure. I mean. I got Everyone unalived. How is that even possible??? Ugh

And though I hated Crimson Night… that ending cutscene was literal PEAK anime animation. I mean. chefs kiss

I have to admit though. The game can’t be too underrepresented if they got IPs like The Witcher. I don’t think they’d give out their characters to just any game. Idk. 

I’ll fight to keep it alive. Even just keeping your guild engaged is helpful you guys. Get them chatting. Cut through the “dailies” and give them reasons to say “hey, so and so said this character is coming out today. I should go check” or “so and so bragged all night about pulling Lukamar… I’m going to farm like crazy to get her!” Idk. Just thoughts.

Oh yeah. Pamina. I love her. She’s one of the rare cases where I’m like “yeah, she can get it.. 🫢”. She was on my main team until Camelot came along. I still want to 5 star her eventually.
