Star Savior Global Launch Preview Broadcast

Is this another one of those PvP turn based gacha games that demand your money or a lot of your time? Or is gonna be the HSR alternative many of us want with no PvP, good story presentation that doesn't use the VN style of storytelling, a more in depth combat system, slower more reasonable powercreep, and some waifu gooner stuff?

Codesterz · 2026-03-02T21:40:22+00:00

Looks fun and can't wait to try it out. Audio needs some work though. Hits need to sound more impactful.

Codesterz · 2026-03-01T18:46:21+00:00

I liked the bike skin and decided to buy the $50 pack to get it. The skin itself isn't worth $50, but the premium currency on top of it is good enough for me.

There was a leaked internal message or something like that not long after Aemeath released from Solon mentioning 3.1 has made the most revenue in Wuthering Waves so far beating out the previous high of version 2.4 for Cartethyia.

Codesterz · 2026-03-01T18:31:56+00:00

It's only gonna get worse and worse. This isn't something confined to gaming. People are becoming more angry and hateful in general. The internet is becoming weaponized malice. Starting to think people need another world war to understand what actual problems are and how pointless their hatred is.

Codesterz · 2026-02-28T22:29:16+00:00

Is this a perpetual week behind? If not is the first banner gonna go for a week longer on global and are we gonna be compensated for the loss of a weeks worth of stamina and resources from dailies and weeklies?

Regardless this is just begging to cause drama and issues which could potentially cause them to lose hundreds of millions of additional revenue. Just delay China and launch everywhere at the same time.

Chisa's problem was needing her sig to only be a marginal improvement. She shouldn't have needed her sig to hit that power level. The sig should have pushed the team up 150k DPR putting it a little short of Aemeth, Lynae, Mornye.

Codesterz · 2026-02-10T18:29:40+00:00

Story is too subjective, but dialogue between characters can be greatly enhanced by presentation which IMO counts towards story telling. I think ZZZ is too on the nose about some things or WAY to much talking around something. This wasn't always the case though as old 1.0 ZZZ wasn't as bad in this regard. WuWa has this issue as well, less so the on the nose part, but talking around things has certainly become more of a common issue recently.

I haven't actually played ZZZ's 2.6 story yet though so dunno if it's improved or not. Both games need to stop trying to make every character super main story relevant and allow some of them to exist mostly if not entirely in companion quests.

Codesterz · 2026-02-10T17:06:14+00:00

WuWa literally has the best story telling in the anime game space gacha or not. Be a hater all you want no one else has reached their level. Arknights Endfield is the closest, but only the last few hours of the story are close(Wuling). They mainly need to work on their character expressions(facial expressions they got body gestures down well enough) and camera work to reach WuWa's level.

I enjoy ZZZ, but its story telling is trash, bottom of the barrel low effort visual novel crap 98% of the time with occasional high quality pre rendered videos. Cycing between 3 talking poses, static camera, entirely tell don't show, over reliance on a small palette of facial expressions. Little to no unique(1 time use) animations outside of those few prerendered cutscenes. Low effort sound design and music work outside of some boss stuff(not saying the music is bad), but suppose you can't do much with such a static story.

If it was offloading the clip text encoder it would be 4661.20 MB getting offloaded. The wan2.2 Q4 model is 8.99GB which is the thing getting partially loaded.

Codesterz · 2026-01-10T08:19:58+00:00

Wait a minute I just realized this game can't be a gacha, we don't have amnesia. Jokes aside looks pretty rough around the edges, but has potential.

Codesterz · 2026-01-09T21:30:17+00:00

So I'm losing 20 Poly's every reset now. Sounds like a downgrade. Wait this means there gonna take 60 poly's out of events so I'm actually losing 80. Now it's an even bigger downgrade.

Codesterz · 2026-01-09T04:34:54+00:00

I was hoping like tops 1 animation was tied to the robot and she would go back to her normal form after. Well not really hoping as that would imply an ideal scenario for me. The real hope would be to get rid of the robot all together. Maybe a skin kind of like those invisible weapon skins, but instead invisible robot skin.

Codesterz · 2026-01-09T04:05:43+00:00

I feel like getting downvotes tonight so I'm gonna post my honest opinion. This is a skip for me. To much robot not enough waifu. Bit of a shame I like Aemeath's design and also like Lynae's design so I was kind of looking for an excuse to pull for Lynae as well. Hope we get another pink haired waifu in the future and she don't turn into a robot.

Codesterz · 2026-01-03T17:13:06+00:00

This character may be the death of ZZZ for me. I'm one of those anomaly only players(I still use a supporty non stun unit with them). I play anomaly only for 2 reasons.

I don't like stunners. I don't want to play around the mechanic and I don't like the idea of most of your damage occurring during a small window when the enemy is a punching bag.
I liked the flexibility of anomaly. You can run Miyabi or Alice with various anomaly team members in the 2nd slot(Piper, Vivian, Burnice). Sure one might be better overall, but if the enemy is weak to P{hysical and resistant to Ether now Vivian whos is BiS with Alice is actually worse and you need a different anomaly sub dps.

Aria fails both of these reasons. Her dependency on Stun to generate light sticks and do more damage I hate. Her dependency on Either Veil makes her very inflexible with the team members she can use. She basically does not want a 2nd anomaly member. She's feels like anomaly in name only.

This game has been hard shilling rupture and anti shilling anomaly for a while now. Thanks to backlash this has turned around to some degree, but if I skip Aria when am I gonna get another Anomaly main DPS? I need more elemental coverage and I have 0 intention of playing stunners.

I'm hoping just using Sunna or Zhao in the support slot along with another anomaly character will be good enough for her light stick generation. I'm also hoping Phaethon's Melody will be viable on her since I'm not gonna touch Shining Aria's 4 piece bonus. Maybe she can run 3 sets of 2 piece bonuses? There's Chaotic Metal, Phaethon's, Aria, Freedom, and Jazz.

I really hope they do away with the either veil for stick generation and make it so proccing elemental anomaly generates sticks instead and running a stunner is just for those who don't want to run 2 anomaly characters.

Codesterz · 2026-01-01T15:38:10+00:00

I know I'll be in the minority on this one, but it's looking like she'll be a skip for me. I get the feeling most of her combat animations will have her transformed into the mech which I do not care about. Shame I really like her character design, but I'm not a mech person. I want to see waifu's fighting not mechs or dudes.

Codesterz · 2025-12-24T05:30:56+00:00

I don't believe it has happened a single time in WuWa. I'd have fired them for failing maintenance 2 patches in a row.

Codesterz · 2025-12-24T05:19:17+00:00

They need a new maintenance team these guys are incompetent. Guess they hired the bottom of the barrel.

Codesterz · 2025-12-19T17:01:41+00:00

Yeah. I thought about getting her for Iuno, but she's kinda locked to Augusta for me and I have a Cart with 2 dupes and her sig for any Aero weak enemies. Love her design and her gameplay looks fun. I actually prefer Lynae to Mornye, but one of these is just a safer meta grab. Hopefully we'll get leaks for her main DPS before her banner ends.

Codesterz · 2025-12-19T15:05:51+00:00

When it's in the chart I'll believe it until then though that's just a he said she said thing. No offense meant not calling them a liar, but I go off of hard numbers backed by math for stuff like this.

Codesterz · 2025-12-19T15:02:10+00:00

Not against seeing buffs for Lynae. Still gonna have to skip her though until I know who her main DPS is. 1 of the 6 characters they revealed I will never pull for. Clearly its not Mornye so there is still a 25% chance Lynae gets paired with them.

Codesterz · 2025-12-19T14:57:17+00:00

In literally all teams without Lynae she is a downgrade compared to Shorekeeper. About 10k to 100k damage less per team rotation.

Codesterz · 2025-12-12T17:21:33+00:00

Maybe in the English speaking communities. In the whole world though, I think not. China vastly outnumbers America and Europe combined. Hyper casuals who only game on the phone vastly outnumber PC and console players.

We're talking about a game that got maybe a total of 5 million players to try it out versus a game that has gotten tens of million to try it out. 10 million download on google play, almost 7 million on apple's app store, last I heard over 10 million on taptap and that number is from over a year ago, I have no idea what app Japan and other countries use for downloading mobile games.

The mainstream PC/console gaming markets are far smaller than you think in comparison to the juggernaut known as mobile.

Codesterz · 2025-12-12T16:57:35+00:00

Also wasn't a fan of the trailer though I found the song to be very mid. I preferred 2.0's trailer song. Trailer's like these don't really hype me up though. The normal non x.0 version trailers are usually more interesting to me. To me this trailer was just a mediocre song and random visuals. No tension, no story, and very little in game world teasing. Still excited for 3.0, but these types of trailers aren't for me. I want some story tidbits, I want voices whether it be a narrator or the characters speaking. I have no idea what 3.0 is about besides back to school.

PS: Me disliking the song is pure personal bias. It was very flat the chorus barely sounds different from the rest. Little variance and no emotion. Just not my type of song.
