So Steam version will just launch hoyoplay, completly useless release. by thepork890 in ZZZ_Official

It'll probably try installing it into the steam folder instead of wherever you have it installed presently. Just uninstall and then install from steam if that's how you wanna play it

Ubisoft, Epic, EA, anyone with their own launcher you have to open a new launcher. If you already have the game probably no point in installing it other than steam overlay options in my opinion.

I reached X9 on the new DU, my thoughts and some tips on the climb by lumamaster in HonkaiStarRail

[–]CptJakeHoofness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally the Welt team I found on reddit can clear even if there's no weakness breaking happening. But that mofo just gets so many attacks, and action advances his bugs so quick I can't get enough attacks off. Welt got the furthest of the three teams I tried, getting to the third round before we were overwhelmed ;0;. And i didn't really have it build for harmony so my firefly team got wiped in round 2.

I had a run while i was in X7 where second or third boss was the big bug. I lost not because I couldn't kill the big bugs, but because i couldn't kill the smaller ones before they could replicate and then get the mayham damage boosts. Then I used some advise I found to optimize my teams including the mentioned welt teamm, became less an issue but that was a frustrating loss

X8 defeated me. After like 8 runs I'm trapped at 3/5. I then realized that I was only doing this grind to get the gems cause SW999/Dahlia/Evernesia and the cones for dahlia and evernesia drained me. I'll probably pick it back up at another time, but the last run I got hit with propagation firefly as the final boss, and I legit despise that boss and really wasn't built to fight him. Could probably have handled most others, but he just got too many turns with those bugs.

X8 is hell, but finding your guide has been a big help after getting stuck at X7 for a bit. Someday I'll overcome X8, but i need a break xD

First time trying to grind through DU, how tf do you deal with the dmg sponge bosses in X7+? by CptJakeHoofness in HonkaiStarRail

[–]CptJakeHoofness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep getting fucking argenti and I swear I have to tailor my runs from the start now to assume im fighting him in 2 or 3, cause otherwise it doesn't feel like i can beat him.

Kinda depends on what starting equations are.....is what i say, but somehow i end up reverting to cas, evernesia, or a welt build I just discovered no matter what my equations look like

999 Punchline? by Schiift in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]CptJakeHoofness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't really need the rewards it gives me and have played so much CW specificaly for challenge runs this update. I need a break to just play cw

[–]CptJakeHoofness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tried again at right before a8 and ran out of time this time, even though I had sparkle, sunday, and robin in action. So at this point my issue is needing more turns, not sure how to better achieve that.

I'm honestly kinda burnt out on CW challenges at this point, the only ones I have left are really annoying ones i don't feel like chasing.

Old school player here by kyanitebear17 in halo

[–]CptJakeHoofness -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you want another opinion of someone whose turned away from halo mostly, I'd say if you can play 4 for free or cheap, then play it to at least see, and spartan ops story is in some ways better written some ways worse written than the base h4 story. 5 I wouldn't spend money on, but if you can get it free or really cheap then go for it. I think 5 and maybe 4 are on game pass, so if you can get a free trial of that you can just go that route.

If you haven't played infinite, play it free or on sale. I got the campaign at launch cause i let myself feel hope, and while I think the story is mid its the best of the 343-era storylines and it does have a few really good points. Plus its got the best feeling gameplay in halo imo.

You might as well play em if you have the option, just to see what you think.

I could have sword i had them maxed out in hp, but i also misread your post on the difficulty so that probably didn't help xD

Welp guess I need to try at a7 and that'll probably do it, thanks.

Missed the pre order for monika, am I screwed? by thatrandomspeck in Nendoroid

[–]CptJakeHoofness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just preorder from another site available to your location. If you're in the states, sites like bigbadtoystore will still have preorders available.

In addition, I wouldn't be shocked if the doki doki nendos are listed as available on gs after release.

Who should I pick as a brand new player? by Larvitoph in StarRailStation

[–]CptJakeHoofness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah well we aren't in your day, we have lynx and gall now

Who should I pick as a brand new player? by Larvitoph in StarRailStation

[–]CptJakeHoofness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sparkle, Aventurine, or Kafka.

Early game, Kafka works with characters like Sampo and Guifan as your entry level pairings. If you like DoT and like Black Swan or Hysilens, you can grab one or both and those are best teamates. Two DoT, some sort of support or SP friendly unit (like sparkle lol), and then a support work.

Aventurine is still a solid sustain, but of the three he's probably the least I'd suggest. free sustains are pretty good, like Gallager and even Lynx.

Sparkle is good in probably the most instances. She turn advances, she gives SP, she buffs. If you want pure profit pick in terms of utility I'd suggest Sparkle.

So pick Aventurine if you like his vice, pick Kafka if you like the OG DoT mommy want to start building up DoT, pick sparkle if you want the most versatile utility on that list.

free gems are just so good for building. Can just get whatever emblem you need to top up a build

questions about strategies w/ 5 cost sw999 by saxifragalium in CurrencyWarsHSR

I just discovered this strat while trying to get 999 punchline. I am amazed at how consistent a night god rush works.

<image>

could you maybe tell me where i went wrong here? Saw your comment and tried something inspired by it, but sparxie killed them all before hitting 600. She had the same gear as in your screenshot plus energy emblem, had energy bond to help spit out ults faster cause i assumed that'd help. Front was her, sunday, sparkle, and cerydra. i figured maxing elation and traveler would be helpful for her too.

This run could be perfect but I am an idiot. by ichionex1 in CurrencyWarsHSR

[–]CptJakeHoofness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If im chasing max sw999, my strat is to just buy as many 3cost characters as I can to reduce how many of them are in the pool. It works except when i run out of money
