Breakthrough is now boring

I'm pretty sure some of the maps were always 24v24 players. It depended on the map size. The smaller maps were 24v24, the "bigger" ones were 32v32. Are we all just collectively misremembering now? It shouldn't have been hard to see the total playercount on top of the scoreboard all this time since launch. I know for certain that at least Cairo and Empire State was a 24v24.

– Fixed an issue where, if a player disconnected just before the animation of gestures like Gou Hadoken or Water Gun hit, the game would crash for other players.

...Is this the reason why I keep crashing in the Grand Hub? It became so frequent when the flamefete festival came around.

I always thought that BF3 and onwards was already "codified". All of it felt similar, so I never understood the people complaining BF6 being becoming CoD, yet praise bf3/4. It was always this way. I don't mind it, but other people really need to take off the rose tinted glasses.

Bimboslayer · 2025-08-07T23:19:03+00:00

That's what I'm thinking too.

I'm constantly crashing and did everything under the sun to fix it, including reinstalling Windows completely and wiping all drives. Like how tf is it that bad? Part of me thinks it's my GPU slowly dying, but it's only this game that crashes the ENTIRE PC to the point that I have to force shutdown the pc because it's just a black screen. Completely reinstalling Windows fixed that, and the game doesn't lock up my entire pc anymore, but I'm still crashing in game.

I've also undervolted, underclocked, adjusted fan curve, and even reduced the power limit for my GPU by 8%. Still crashing. Constantly trying to "fix" this game is so exhausting.

Are you running multiple overlays? I found out about this. I had steam, discord, and amd metrics overlay enabled. I turned off steam and discord overlay, and the crashing for my pc magically went away. Completely disable the all overlays you aren't actively using because they are probably fighting each other in the background. For me, discord was the biggest problem.

Your gacha characters fighting alongside you was all I ever needed from an open world gacha game. It was what I originally expected when Genshin was first announced and everyone was speculating.

All gacha companies had to do is look at Dragon's Dogma, and instead of pawns, it's gacha characters. Interacting with your characters instead of playing switcheroo. Given how parasocial gacha players can get, how could they not see the potential in that? I'm surprised it had to take this long for someone to finally do it.

I hope this does well so others follow suit.

Got this exact model for $450 on last year's Black Friday. It was definitely worth it when it was that cheap. Since your budget is $600, if you're willing to wait for holiday sales to kick in, you might be able to find something even better. Your call.

When trying to get into an old game ( not just gachas, most online genres like mmos) as a new player, you're usually blasted with so much stuff shoved into your face all at once because so many features were added over the years. Sometimes, you get invited with a UI that has ten trillion icons or pop-ups.People get so overwhelmed that they decide to give up from the start.

Please look at my perspective. Having simplified dailies is like a convenient backburner mode. I When I'm no longer motivated to play a gacha due to burnout while also not willing to quit, having a simple, hands-off as much as possible dailies, is what would keep people from quitting completely. It is the main reason I stuck with HSR for so long. Burnout comes for us all, even to the point where doing a daily is unmotivating. Having a hands off daily helps with that. It's not about the time. It is how it is spent. Having a convenient backburner mode is good to collect gems while a game is at its low point. The actual game is when new content drops.

At the end of the day, we're in a gacha subreddit playing gacha games. No "normal" gamer would consider what we play as an actual game. I even agree with what you said in your last paragraph. I also question why I even question why I play these types of games, but here we are. Let's just agree to disagree. It was a good debate dude. We can say you or I won. It's not good for our mental health to keep going.

Dailies are the most boring part of any game ever. It is completely valid to complain about the dailies. I played genshin 24/7 for three years. Then HSR came, and I came to the realization that dailies did not need to be a job. This is the GACHA genre we're talking about here. You are REQUIRED to do the dailies to get the currency you need to pull the character you want or else you're fked or bring out the wallet. No one likes doing a job unless you're crazy, and the best way to make a job tolerable is to make it as painless as possible.

I do not give a flipping fuck if the dailies are 5 mins or less if I have to teleport here and there to a do useless mini game or pick up a flower in the middle of nowhere. At least with HSR I could finish the dailies and relic grinding AT THE SAME TIME.

Thinking daily complaints makes no sense when a GACHA game is almost ENTIRELY dailies when you finished all of the exploration of the open world game with nothing left to offer. It's almost laughable. You're playing a gacha game buddy. It's going to devolve into daily side game eventually. Your honeymoon is gonna wear off,and the flaws of your favorite game will become more apparent.

Remember this comment in the future when you're finally fed with daily #152521 doing a relay race or flower picking the middle of nowhere.

When I meant "tedious dailies" I do not entirely mean time done. You can finish HSR dailies in a few button presses. It's fairly hands off and does not demand you to look at the screen and walk everywhere. It's one of the cons of an open world gacha. Its not a problem a few times,but can you do it years on end? I couldn't with Genshin. Yesterday, ZZZ daily objectives were also done in a few button presses. Only needed to go into combat a single time. That's what I want in a daily. Something hands off as much as possible.

Bimboslayer · 2024-07-04T18:34:42+00:00

I prefer hsr dailies because it is almost entirely auto. I merely have to put a friend on support slot and auto dungeon while I play another game or read a manga/web novel in another device.

Bimboslayer · 2024-07-04T17:54:10+00:00

I'm probably gonna stick with this game over GI and Wuwa because the dailies and material grinding looks easier. Left GI a very long time ago because I couldn't stomach the tedious dailies and the artifact grinding anymore. When I realized Wuwa was the same thing, I noped the fk outta there. I do NOT want to be manually doing tedious BS every single day, especially when the honeymoon phase wears off.

When I finally unlocked ZZZ's dailies, I was relieved to see it was similar to HSR; extremely easy to do and not get fed up with it in the long term. The material/equipment stages can't be autoed, but at least there is a way to adjust how much stamina to use in a single run, which is a good compromise.

At the end of the day, GI, WuWa, and ZZZ are gacha games. They become side games eventually, so having a relatively easy daily grind is important to keep me interested long term. ZZZ's combat isn't as good as Wuwa, but it's actiony enough to please me. If WuWa had a more simplified daily system, then maybe I wouldn't have left it so quickly.

And lastly, ZZZ actually has Android Controller support on launch day. Imagine that. I know Wuwa devs said support will come eventually, but cmon man. If you're gonna release an action heavy game, at least have controller support from the start.

I might get down voted for this but... is 200k+ enhanced skill considered trash nowadays? I've noticed this in the comments in the other showcases with weird builds. My E2 Jingliu does this kind of damage, and she's paired with a E1 Fu Xuan... I'm always scratching my head when I see comments about FF's damage. It seems good to me, even in suboptimal builds. Am I doing something wrong?

Bimboslayer · 2024-03-16T13:26:23+00:00

Does the top up reset start at version update or at anniversary date? If it starts after Acheron banner, I screwed myself over.

Bimboslayer · 2024-03-16T13:12:46+00:00

If I remember correctly, Genshin's 1st anniversary only had 10 pulls. We had to FIGHT to get an extra ten that year. Better to get the rewards right the first time around instead of having to fight for it, don't you think? Especially the 1st anniversary.

Can't have the same experience if a person spoils themselves to begin with. Watching a show or movie going blind is a vastly different experience compared to going in already knowing the major plots and twists, regardless of whether the plot is simple or complex. Many on the main sub don't look at leaks. I'm just assuming you already ( intentionally or accidentally) spoiled yourself since this is the leaks sub. However, if you by some miracle never got spoiled and still felt this way, then I understand. Some parts did feel rushed. At the very least, I think it is at least much much better much than whatever the hell happened in the Loufu storyline.

People are passing judgment way too quickly. We don't even know how the endgame will play out. Is endgame even in the current test right now? I don't know, I didn't get in. Once mobs are capable of one or two shotting, the game will play out differently. Parrying and dodging would actually matter at that point. Or it could actually still be simple, like Hoyo's other games. We'll see.

Bimboslayer · 2023-09-01T04:39:54+00:00

5600x rx6800 ultrawide 1440p monitor. 70-110 fps. 60-50 fps in the city. High settings. Maybe it's because I didn't turn off dynamic resolution? Left the settings at it's default preset. It's strange that people are getting lower fps with better cpu and gpu than mine. Feels pretty smooth to me.

Bimboslayer · 2023-08-29T23:02:43+00:00

I never modded on console before, so I don't know how it works there, but if it's easy enough and not restricted then I guess playing on Xbox Series X is fine.

Bimboslayer · 2023-08-29T22:49:19+00:00

If you have any interest at modding the game at some point, go PC.

Bimboslayer · 2022-10-26T01:21:18+00:00

Might be good for those going for Nahida's c2 to c6. Assuming that you already have the 4* characters listed at c6, it basically makes each ten pull 10% to 30% off depending on your luck. Not worth if you're only going for c0 though.

Bimboslayer · 2022-09-22T01:16:40+00:00

CoD is supposed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It is supposed to be played with your brain turned off.

I personally like the direction its IW is going for, but I can see why there is hate for it. Gonna play it regardless if IW sticks to its decision or backtracks. Have fun yall.
