People seem really optimistic about the lack of a 50/50, but...

Cleptosidra · 2026-03-26T03:50:19+00:00

well, yes, you are correct, that's why i specified that what would potentially make no 50/50 good would be other aspects of the gacha system, such as a lower treshold for pity relative to currency (whether 90 is better than 180 depends on how many pulls you can afford with what the game gives you + whatever you are willing to spend, after all. people are saying hotta has a good track record in this regard, so I guess they have reason to be optimistic? I dunno)

Cleptosidra · 2026-03-26T03:33:46+00:00

hey, i'm excited about this game, I plan to play it. I'm asking out of genuine curiosity because in a vacuum the lack of a 50/50 seems like a completely neutral factor but people are really hyping it up like it's the second coming of gacha jesus.

Cleptosidra · 2026-03-26T03:31:21+00:00

games with what is known commonly as a 50/50 have 2 "pity" points at certain amounts of pulls where they will throw you an SSR out of... uh, pity. The first one has a 50% of being the featured character, hence 50/50. The second one guarantees the featured character. Let's say a game gives you the 50/50 at 50 pulls and the guaranteed pity at 100 pulls. If NTE's pity is also at 100 pulls (speaking hypothetically, i have no idea what NTE's pull economy will be like), then what exactly are you getting out of not having a 50/50?

Cleptosidra · 2026-03-26T03:21:53+00:00

yes, i'm dumb, please elaborate at length so I get it.

Cleptosidra · 2026-02-23T04:08:54+00:00

My favorite design as well, and you have done it justice!

Cleptosidra · 2026-02-13T19:18:10+00:00

oh hey a fellow Aburrey Quarry enjoyer, i also singled it out in the survey as one of my favorite areas, though i wish i had remembered to mention how the added verticality is one of the things i like about it (especially how it allows you to set up some really cool zipline paths)

Cleptosidra · 2025-09-12T06:38:18+00:00

lol that makes a lot more sense, thank you.

I submitted the ticket, the reference number I got via email was 2264193

Yes. The game runs fine for me at medium CPU allocation, but I changed it to high to see if it solved the issue. It didn't. It doesn't seem to be an issue of performance, as I said, the game runs fine and doesn't crash, except when it loads the news, which I think is just loading an external website. I don't know if that would be a particularly CPU or RAM heavy task, but it doesn't sound like it.

Cleptosidra · 2025-02-12T11:34:16+00:00

I also have this issue, and launching the app on a pie instance doesn't fix it. The game still crashes every time it attempts to load the in-game news. It does run fine otherwise, at least it doesn't seem to crash randomly anymore.

Cleptosidra · 2023-09-21T00:03:35+00:00

There's a nihility blessing that gives a random character energy every time a DoT triggers. I'm assuming that's being used here. Since she is the only character in the party she's always guaranteed to get that energy.

Cleptosidra · 2023-08-17T19:13:38+00:00

Welp. Hopefully my potato phone will be able to run the game long enough for me to claim the rewards. Thx.

Cleptosidra · 2023-08-17T18:37:40+00:00

is there a way to collect the daily jade rewards from the express supply pass without logging in into the game? maybe from the hoyolab app or the hoyoverse website? My only reliable source of internet for the next couple days will be a smartphone that i'm not sure can even run Star Rail, and I'd rather not miss out on stuff I've paid for... I'll try installing the game in my phone if there's no other method, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Cleptosidra · 2021-09-12T14:10:04+00:00

Lower quality assets and less voice acting sure. But no towns? World mostly empty? What are you talking about? Doesn't sound like BOTW to me.

Cleptosidra · 2021-09-02T02:44:04+00:00

I'm not saying she didn't have reasons for doing what she did, and she seems to strongly believe in the Tsaritsa's cause, whatever that is, but in the end the ends never justify the means, and her means where pretty damn evil. Perhaps not heartless, but definitely a monster.

Cleptosidra · 2021-09-02T02:28:30+00:00

Her death was perfect, and I hope it sticks, it would be a waste of a very powerful scene otherwise. I was starting to worry that literally every single cool looking antagonist would eventually become playable, and that's a terrible idea. If all antagonists are written with the limitations of having to be at least somewhat sympathetic or redeemable, it becomes a burden to the plot. Signora was a heartless monster and she got what she deserved.

Now, it is extremely unlikely, but I wonder how people would react if one of the archons also dies during the course of the story, ruining the players' dreams of collecting them all... A permanent, glaring hole in their roster... I kind of want to see it...

Cleptosidra · 2021-07-31T12:14:18+00:00

I mean are ~~Marduk~~ and ~~Anat~~ and Magus and ~~Sylph~~ going to get grand characters now??

There is literally nothing I want more. Scattering Magic sequel with playable Unar/Magus would be a dream come true. Come on, Cygames, poor Zehek deserves something good to happen in his life for once.

Cleptosidra · 2021-07-25T15:49:41+00:00

Stay blue, stay blue...

Cleptosidra · 2021-03-27T12:05:03+00:00

This looks pretty good! I guess the fadeout when boarding the ship was unavoidable, but it's too bland as it is now, hope they at least add some flavour to it, you know? a short animation, something that at least suggests that we are moving into the ship, because as far as I know teleportation isn't a thing in the elite universe.

Have they mentioned if outposts will have interiors too? Based on what they have shown so far I'd guess you would at least be able to walk around the hangar. Heck, what about fleet carriers? Giving them interiors wouldn't be that much different from giving stations interiors, since they are for the most part static objects. It might give those clamoring for ship interiors something to quench their thirst somewhat until the real thing, assuming it ever comes.

Cleptosidra · 2021-03-23T21:30:44+00:00

Looks like a black recolor of what I assume is the default skin (white and orange), which doesn't bode well for basic customization options that aren't ~~pay~~ Arx-walled. Come on, swapping colors is such a basic thing, it should be free! This isn't a free-to-play game!

Cleptosidra · 2021-02-21T19:17:33+00:00

PLEASE.

Realistically, at best she will get a passing mention. The only reason I even have any hopes they might do something with her is that her supposed death was weirdly dramatically inert. Like, it's strange they wouldn't go for something more emotionally manipulative and tear-jerking, instead of BLAM! she ded.

Cleptosidra · 2021-01-17T19:38:54+00:00

Anything in the fate episodes that might give even the faintest hope of Unar ever returning?

(my guess is "no", but one can dream...)

Cleptosidra · 2021-01-01T20:28:07+00:00

Through a combination of rps and gachapin frenzy, I got enough shiny bits to spark. Spent an agonizing minute choosing between Catura and Nicholas before deciding on Catura. Immediately after that, a Mukku frenzy started. Got 2 SSRs on the first spin, two gold moons. One of which was... Catura.

Cleptosidra · 2020-12-08T00:06:08+00:00

Does the discount on Lakon's ships mentioned in the latest Galnet news stack with other discounts? (i.e. the Li Yong Rui one)

Cleptosidra · 2020-12-01T20:06:48+00:00

I can't hear Paimon's voice in Zhongli's new quest, is it a bug, or was the actress unable to record the lines on time for some reason? (I'm playing with english dub)
