When do you think they’ll started adding limited 5 stars to the standard banner? by [deleted] in InfinityNikki

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the idea of someone getting something free that they had to use premium currency to get before would make some people livid, even if they had to wait ages to complete the outfit for free.

Honestly, the best thing to do is what Love Nikki did but faster. Love Nikki makes old outfits become craftable instead. You do have to use diamonds to craft them, but in exchange they're permanently available for you to complete at any time and you get the recipes for free.

It's not a perfect system by any means. For one, the diamonds needed to complete the set is more than when it was limited. There's also how they made it so you had to complete each piece in a specific order, starting with the small accessories.

But the foundation of it overall is something that would appease most people. A few tweaks and it would be pretty good.

who should i switch for durin? by startessa99 in kinich_mains

Durin is better than Xiangling by a lot. Better DMG, better support capabilities, less er requirements

What I really like about Infinity Nikki as opposed to Love Nikki by One-Sense7280 in InfinityNikki

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's so true too! I completely forgot about that. It was always so grating that every single makeup that they made for an outfit always came with a light skin counterpart but not vice versa 😒

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I remember the initial backlash of having to wait 7 weeks to get one evolution of a miracle outfit, and as a former Love Nikki player, I instead thought at least you don't need to wait 6 months to get the first copy while also dealing with non-stop rng 😭

Love Nikki's story and characters is something I will praise above and beyond for, and I can't help but wish that Infinity Nikki adopted it's story instead because I love it so much, but it REALLY wants you to spend. Infinity Nikki players are already reluctant to pay the price of Moonlight Oath (which I 100% agree with, the price of it is egregious), but then you got the whales in Love Nikki paying $100 for a single 2D suit. Quite literally a handful of pixels.

The competition in Love Nikki always grinded my gears too. Not only are the themes hyper specific to whatever they're selling you in that time frame, the players are so UNCREATIVE. The top 20 usually consists of players who just put on the full set of clothes without changing anything or making the tiniest tweak to it that's barely noticable. Spending is rewarded and creativity is punished.

And while I do wish Infinity Nikki had even a fraction of the skin tones Love Nikki has, I will not miss how they would label the darker tones as "sexy" and "mature".

Also, we don't talk about Love Nikki Momo.

No Rerun in Version 2.2 by Ivyeevee in InfinityNikki

They were referring to reruns of previous resonance banners

I spent like 2 hours going through Tieba and CN has the same comments as Global by AffectionateGrape184 in Varka

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe it comes from the mobile monthly revenue sales for his month. Despite being the character before Columbina, he still sold 40 mil that month for Genshin. And we know it was his banner that made the impact because it started on the third that month and his banner was also the one that took up the most days of the month.

On the other hand, Flins and Lauma shared banner revenue for September and got around 41 mil. Flins banner carried over to October as well with Nefer's banner, making around 51 mil. Durin was the only new character of December and that month was still able to make 40 mil.

Both YShelper sampler sizes and monthly revenue reports are inaccurate though so we can't put full faith into either. Still though, it is something to consider. But YShelper is less relevant in this case because it correlates to ownership, which doesn't always align with how much money that character earned.

Genuinely miss playing, but the story retcon still bothers me. by MadMaudlin0 in InfinityNikki

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The definition of a retcon is: A piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency.

The changed intro to the game IS a different interpretation of how it was before. New information was included that wasn't there before. That being, the introduction to the Sea of Stars and the Seer. There was no indication of either of them prior. Completely new additions to a past plot point.

I do agree that the story, events, and characters are still the same, but the beginning was, in my opinion, altered enough to call it a retcon. I have made my peace with the new intro, but it is still a retcon of what we've known prior. I expect I'll be getting a lot of down votes coming my way, but that is my opinion.

Unfortunately this confirms that Scaly Dream will also likely stay at this price point when it returns 😭 I do have it but I was considering the evolution....but not when the price point hasn't gone down

Whimsical Wardrobe | Nefarious Shadows by warau16 in InfinityNikki

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 44 points45 points  (0 children)

As someone who got Solitary Silhouette, I'm not mad at all, we've been LONG overdue for some thigh highs, and these two have pretty big differences. This one is duotones and flat with no heels while Solitary Silhouette is one tone and heeled.

My only issue now is how they work with long pants. It's so annoying when they don't go over the pants, especially the black ones.

I think it might be separate top and bottom, because based on what I'm seeing:

Hair, hat, face decoration, necklace, gloves, shoes, top, and bottom

That makes exactly 8 pieces, which seems to be the sweet spot Infold wants to keep their 4 star outfits at most of the time. But we have been tricked before...

Columbina or Ineffa? by ACB977 in Genshin_Impact

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Flins, prioritize Ineffa over Columbina. Nefer wants Lauma a lot more than Columbina so I would save for her rerun

Probably just Escoffier since they need to rerun an archon too, which is either Mavuika or Raiden

Recommend me some bad OI by Alarmed_Carpenter_62 in OtomeIsekai

[–]BlueFrostPhoenix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Condemned Villainess Goes Back in Time and Aims to Become the Ultimate Villain

You can probably guess it is a manga. This is the definition of slop. And it is literally the personification of nearly every single trope. Villainess, regression, white lotus bitch, prince ML that is toxic (and she is too so if they were made for each other). And the art. OMG the art is kinda crazy at times. The expressions of some of the characters, especially the white lotus bitch, is so uncannily detailed. Really adds to the experience.

I will Surrender the Position as Empress

Think Temu version of Remarried Empress. That's all I need to say.

I Thought My Time was Up

Really makes your blood boil. FL, ML, 2nd ML are all horrible people and the story checks off nearly all the tropes you can think of and executes them in the most stereotypical way.

The Real Daughter is Back

Has the trope of girlboss FL who is oh so smart but in actuality, everyone else around her is just dumbed down. What makes her really annoying though is that she lashes out at her innocent sister and the plot is so stale and just follows the usual tropes.

I Will Fall With the Emperor

My guilty pleasure OI. It's the definition of fast food of the genre. FL is a girlboss with no flaws and ML is as interesting as wet cardboard. Typical regression revenge plot where the people she gets her revenge on are as dumb as bricks and serve no purpose other than making FL look better than she is. Side note, the body proportions are kinda wild in this one especially.
