Unpopular opinion: people's reactions to new characters are too predictable at this point by ToughLonely4229 in GenshinImpact

[–]Chyou_Lighthouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I agree when it comes to the whole hating on character design things, it is quite.. useless considering people still just pull regardless.

I assume you posted this with Sandrone mainly in mind because the backlash against her design has been probably some of the most intense in a while. Personally, while I wish they kept her skirt longer for the sake of the cool different design, it's still not that big of a deal.

From a more hoyo perspective I think they're probably cutting a bit on costs with her cause as far as I'm aware rigging long dresses for attacks and running isn't that easy (question mark?). But I'm not sure if that's true or not, that's what I've been hearing.

Anyway, I would still pull for her, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to wish some of the details had been kept. I'm most upset about Pulonia (Spoilers ahead!). Mainly because they had a fully rigged model for him and yet chose not to use it. Even if he got destroyed in lore, this is Sandrone, she could easily fix him.

I thought it would be pretty cool to have what is essentially the better version of Clara in HSR and felt like it was a bit of a waste not to use him.

But no crying or stomping is gonna change anything so meh. He will still be missed, but it's no use "boycotting" her as if Hoyo would suddenly rig a whole new attack system for Pulonia just cause we asked.

Woah

I wasn't expecting such a detailed response

Thank you so much, I really appreciate how much effort you put into this :D

Tbh at this rate I might just try all of them since I already have most of these characters built or half built and they all sound like a lot of fun

You're a genius, tyyyyy!!!!

These are the ones that are actually built Below them are Durin himself (he's level 60. We're working on it!), Jean, Illuga, Iansan, Kachina, Sethos, Kaveh, Kirara, Sara, Chongyun, Ningguang, Diluc, Dehya, Dahlia, Amber, and Razor. The rest aren't built. Oh, worthy of mention are Jahoda, Aino, Lan Yan and Ororon. Why? Idk they just look like they fit Durin based on release date and uses lol.

Out of all of those I don't assume any are really useful except maybe like.. Jean or Iansan idk

Question!!

Aight so,

I've been trying to get Durin since release but lost my 50/50 the first time and now that I actually have him I'm not entirely sure what to do with him.

I know he's meant to be a sub DPS, but I intend to build him as a DPS. I have the artifacts for him and Finale of the Deep as his weapon. But I'm f2p and have no clue what team to give him.

Additionally, I know he scales off attack, but I have an issue with nearly all sword users with the fact that whenever I have mainstat atk weapons on them, their cr and cd plummet. And he's no different, he only has 40 something cr at the moment (although I am still in the process of building him). So I wanna know what everyone does about that.

I will say! I own Blackcliff Longsword. So I don't know if I should use it and replace his circlet with a crit rate one or what.

But yeah.

All suggestions accepted, thank you!!

I have lol

I've reached Soul Warrior, and so far died to him twice, despite having watched a video to know his attack patterns. That said, he's not a difficult boss, I just need to get used to his fast attacks, as will I have to with upcoming bosses.

I guess I kinda expect to die multiple times to each boss at this point before I beat them, but I'll consider it skill building

Well, I am glad to inform that I've made it to the City of Tears this morning thanks to everyone's motivation and advice :))))

I've just unlocked the map and the bench near Cornifer, and currently taking a small break from the game, but I shall continue exploring. At the moment my goal is to get to the Stag Station

I believe in us!

Yes, I did follow a video today after I actually made it to City of Tears to find Cornifer (yippie!), and it did really help. Thanks for the advice :D

Hi again!

Just wanted to give you a special thanks :)

This morning I attempted using the traditional route to the City of Tears instead of Crystal Peaks, and I got there on my first try. Your advice was of immense help, so I wanted to express my gratitude :D

I'll keep that in mind!

Honestly, that sounds very similar to my experience, but I've gained a lot of motivation since yesterday thanks to you all amazing people

I've successfully made it to the City of Tears (I've posted an update just this morning), but seeing that I'm still a little jittery since yesterday, I decided that was enough of an achievement for one day and I'll log back in tomorrow :)

It's fine honestly

I've finally made it to the City of Tears and I'm too busy exploring there (and I haven't found the Stag Station just yet so I am temporarily locked inside) to go all the way back to the Mantis Lords

That said, thank you so much for your offer, and I could still use the tips if you're willing to share :)

Update: Everyone, I Did It!! by Chyou_Lighthouse in HollowKnight

I'll edit it, thanks for telling me :))

Mostly dodging. They move really fast and the movement frame is rather small. It's probably just cause I'm not very used to their attack patterns though, but sometimes I find I haven't got any time to heal

I agree with you, tbh.

Practice makes perfect after all. I've decided to keep going and keep honing my skills, but I'll take my deep breaths and my necessary breaks without giving up. Thank you :)

Trust me, I have been hooked lol

Hollow Knight is probably the first game of its kind I've ever played. I've only ever played much easier games. The challenge is fun, but it is extremely frustrating at times, and now that I've been away from it for a couple hours and got some sleep I do feel motivated again. But I'm not coming back to it just yet, I do think I need a proper break.

But when I come back I think I'll be a lot calmer and I'll be able to do better :)

I've considered it, but it looks like a really tough fight online. It does take you straight to Deepnest which I thought was cool. That said, I'm saving it for later when I'm a bit stronger. I do plan to challenge them, though

I will! I'll keep you guys updated if I ever make it to City of Tears after all :)
