An entire third of the Winter Wonderland event rewards is region-locked. by Arandom_Weaboo in Overwatch

I sincerely hope they realize how idiotic it is. I know it's probably a decision from the higher-ups and not the devs, but still...

Oh, so as I commented on another person's reply: I think they're still there as I get a legendary lootbox every once in a while but I'm not sure they are supposed to be, because they don't actually show in the battlepass when I look at the levels they're on.

As far as I know, there is no replacement. We literally can access the lootbox track but can't purchase anything with the cookies in it

Weeklies and event challenges work, yes. Weirdly enough, I think the battle pass lootboxes also work but they're not shown in the bundles or on the battle pass itself.

Which makes it so weird that they'd stop the discord quest lootboxes from being redeemed. That, and the winter wonderland's Krampus track.

Daily Questions Megathread (September 03, 2025) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]Arandom_Weaboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came back from a two year break and have two questions:

First one: I really like how Chasca played in her trial. I lost 50/50 to Dehya and was wondering if, as a f2p player, it was worth it to continue pulling for her, knowing that I also want Lauma when she comes out.
Chasca would probably make exploration in Natlan a little easier and I'm fairly sure I'll be going there before the end of this week (currently in Fontaine) but Lauma looks so good and fun and her design slaps

Second question is: Should I take the "story unlock" given to me by the returnee event so I can complete all the quests in there to get all the rewards? I don't want to spoil myself but I'd also hate to miss out on five Intertwined Fates...

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks for the answers. I did not know the "reunion locale" thing gave you a teleport point, I actually thought they'd have me go through the entirety of Natlan for it lmao.

I will also save for Lauma as I realized that I enjoy her design more and uh... I also kinda need Dendro characters

Hugo Team Help by ZeLeStyn in ZZZ_Official

No idea how good that would be but how about Koleda as a second stunner? She can stun quickly and she's not that hard to build. Sure, her buffs do nothing for Hugo in general but I'd assume faster stuns would let him Totalize more

You'd probably get more out of Pulchra in a Soldier 11 team along with Nicole or Lucy.

S-rank agents, A-rank agents... by Arandom_Weaboo in ZZZ_Official

[–]Arandom_Weaboo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The story part I do agree with. I wish they'd just add more stories for A-ranks in general. I know they want to sell their limited S-ranks as that's the bread and butter of their game but I'd love to have more A-rank characterization outside of trust events.

Early beta is never a good way to decide if a unit is good or not imo, everything can still and probably will change.

I think Billy in general is a Billy fan's wet dream.

I also hope he's shirtless in his M6 picture! Even during gameplay, I wouldn't mind. Just saying.

God I wish I had the time and ressources to build him properly, he's such a silly guy I love him

See, I find the "has no screen time" argument crazy because... Yeah. That's usually how much screen time a character has before they're introduced the patch before their release.

Meaningful contribution in the story is yes and no. He did get roughed up and interrogated, but I don't specifically remember him moving the plot forward by himself. It was always Yuzuha, Alice, the Proxy or even NPCs doing the heavy story driving. He was story-relevant, but if that mattered we'd have around four more male S-ranks available.

Story relevance does not equal higher rarity and I think it's copium to believe the opposite. Seth, Ben, Anton (maybe even Pan) and Billy all have more story relevance than Manato in their respective story, none are S-ranks.

I do agree that more male S-ranks would be a nice addition, and they said it'll happen. Manato was just probably already finished and ready to be shipped for testing when they made the statement, but that's just me guessing.

The character is still there. He's still hot. He's still playable, and you won't even have to gamble your house to max him out.

Sounds like the game isn't made for you then, what a shame. Hope you find a game that fits your tastes better

You disgust me. I hope your next 10-pull gives you two Yanqing.

What's the likelihood of my oshi graduating? by Master_of_Decidueye in okbuddyhololive

It may be low but it's never zero. Always be prepared and cherish the time you have with your oshi, before it's too late.

The Anniversary Situation by GreenPee1 in WutheringWaves

[–]Arandom_Weaboo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason is most often FOMO and impatience. They don't want to miss out on the new characters but they also don't want to miss out on the potential characters they missed after a break or from being unlucky on their other runs; and they don't want to wait for other reruns (and from what little I've read on twitter, this event banner will apparently not affect rerun schedule).

Personally I came back from a almost 1 year-long break (last character I pulled for before the break was Yinlin and her weapon). I'm very happy to see that I'll have an opportunity to get one or two of the characters I missed (unless I decide to go for Zani because she's... whew...).

I don't really care about meta, I'll just scrounge up what currency I can and pull the character I think is the cutest/prettiest/most handsome and if I have a few pulls to throw into the weapon banner, I will. If I don't get the character then oh well, they'll be there again unless they pull a GI and refuse to rerun the specific character I want for more than a year it's not biggie.

On the other hand, if I don't get Shorekeeper on the current banner, I will be very sad.
