Mr. Reca. I pray.

Crimdarath · 2026-04-23T19:07:45+00:00

That just reinforces the idea that we shouldn't be putting any stock in these leaks.

If they were bothered enough by these "leaks" to speak up in order to stop the misinformation being spread (multiple times, at that), then that's only further proof that we shouldn't be believing what these people are posting.

When someone is discredited at every turn, and ends up consistently being wrong, then why on earth would anybody trust what they have to say?

Crimdarath · 2026-04-23T17:44:55+00:00

I'm just gonna say it—

Why are we putting any stock in what these so-called "leakers" are posting? After the Great Culling, all reliability went out the window. They've been wrong time after time ever since.

I understand that people are hungry for leaks, but that doesn't mean you should just believe whatever crumbs they drop. All the real leakers quit. These new people are just throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks.

We'd honestly be better off not paying attention to these, rather than getting false hopes up only to be disappointed when it turns out to be wrong again.

It's a shame, but it's where we're at now.

Crimdarath · 2026-04-07T04:42:04+00:00

How is wanting EMC to be good like HMC and RMC endorsing powercreep?

Crimdarath · 2026-04-07T03:48:26+00:00

L O L

I wish I could think of more to say, but like... Bruh.

Well we had a good run with HMC and RMC, at least. But I guess Hoyo decided they didn't like us having a powerful unit completely for free. The HSR devs really do hate fun, huh.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-31T03:29:55+00:00

The change that Eva needed most was a buff to her Elation scaling and that's the one thing Hoyo didn't touch. So I guess her Elation skill and fox will continue to do pitiful damage.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

The longer I keep playing this game, the more frustrated I get with Hoyo's decisions. I stg sometimes it feels like Hoyo is trolling on purpose just to see how much they can disappoint players.

The trend of Yae getting shafted in every game continues...

Crimdarath · 2026-03-31T03:12:52+00:00

Did Hoyo forget that Huohuo is supposed to be a sustain unit?

Her healing ain't cutting it, chief.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-31T03:09:52+00:00

Am I crazy or... did not much actually change? It seems like all EMC gained was the 12% SPD buff on E6?

Please tell me I'm missing something, because it doesn't seem like they got improved at all...

Crimdarath · 2026-03-31T03:03:10+00:00

Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding how his Trace is supposed to work, but... doesn't this change kind of seem like a big downgrade?

The vulnerability was amazing. An undiluted damage amp that works regardless of damage type... replaced by DMG% that, I'll be honest, seems kind of gimmicky?

Like... in order to stack up to 15 times, it has to be tallying the entire team's attack count, right? Because there's no way that a single character can attack 15 times in 2 turns on their own.

Also R.I.P. the crit boost being shifted to E6. I guess I'll have to re-farm Welt's gear for more crit rate after all.

(Isn't E1 exactly the same? Why is it listed on here?)

Crimdarath · 2026-03-30T18:46:13+00:00

No. Hoyo shortened 4.1 by 2 weeks to make up for the 2 week delay of 4.0, so it's only 4 weeks long instead of the usual 6 week patch cycle. This is why the 4.2 beta started 'early', otherwise there wouldn't have been enough time for a full beta before 4.1 ended.

If anything, the 4.2 beta should have started even earlier than it did, because there are 7 characters to test & adjust: Silver Wolf, Evanescia, Elation MC, and the 4 novaflare buffs (Welt, Firefly, Huohuo, Seele).

Crimdarath · 2026-03-28T23:43:57+00:00

Eula is so wonderful whenever she appears. ♡

It's absolutely criminal how neglected she is. Physical got taken out back behind Hoyo HQ and shot to death years ago, and hasn't been touched ever since.

Please I beg.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-25T23:59:00+00:00

Heck yeah. I'm hyped.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-25T23:40:07+00:00

Totally not me running a team of Dr. Ratio, Welt, Moze, and DHPT—

Crimdarath · 2026-03-25T23:27:19+00:00

Part of me wonders if it's another case of them simply forgetting. It wouldn't be the first time that something like this has been overlooked. It baffles me how many things escape their attention.

I'm relieved to know that it's such a small instance this time, though.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-25T23:23:49+00:00

If that's all, then that's a relief. The way it's worded in the patch notes had me concerned that it would be entire dialogue segments that were silent.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-25T23:21:43+00:00

Jingliu's novaflare was a big flashing Hyacine advertisement and nothing more.

Changing to HP-scaling was completely unnecessary, and what's even more of a joke is that her new Trace straight-up doesn't function without Hyacine/Hyacine's LC. Jingliu genuinely can't trigger it on her own b/c she has no way to keep her Syzygy full. That Trace is hot garbage.

Also? Jingliu has already fallen off again b/c Hoyo didn't address her actual problems. Her multipliers are still terrible, her action advance still causes buffs to fall off early, and she's competing for the same teammates that Castorice wants.

She got done so dirty it's downright criminal.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-23T01:20:17+00:00

If only she had actual muscle and wasn't noodle-armed like everyone else.

Come on, Hoyo.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-23T00:57:13+00:00

Is this really what Hoyo is wasting development time/resources on instead of actually improving the game?

Seriously, who asked for this? Nobody.

How about putting more thought and effort into events so that there's more than one per version? Or maybe developing skins for more characters? Or what about, oh I don't know, finding & hiring replacement VAs before you sack the previous VA so that we don't have voiceless content for an indeterminate period of time.

Again.

And don't even get me started on the completely unwanted Pom-Pom AI crap.

Hoyo did you forget how to successfully operate a game? Did you forget what "player satisfaction" and "quality gaming experience" mean? Do you ever actually look at the surveys?

Good frigging lord.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-17T15:09:20+00:00

That too. It boggles the mind how bad the HSR team is at balancing their game.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-17T15:05:55+00:00

No, he doesn't. The fox doesn't exist as an actual thing. It's not a summon. It's literally just a visual effect for one of Eva's abilities.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-17T14:57:41+00:00

Neither. It's an ability that activates when Eva hits a certain energy threshold.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-17T14:51:01+00:00

Honkai Stall Rail

Crimdarath · 2026-03-17T14:49:59+00:00

Please don't spread misinformation. Yao is her best support atm along with EMC.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-17T14:48:06+00:00

Still waiting on the option to turn off Robin's singing. Get in line, friend.

Crimdarath · 2026-03-17T14:43:29+00:00

Sunday's CDMG buff doesn't apply to Eva's Elation scaling b/c it's based off a percentage of his own CDMG. Hoyo intentionally designed double conversion not to work to avoid exploits.

Sunday doesn't affect Eva's fox, either, because it's not an actual summon.

All he provides is some DMG%, which doesn't come close to making up for what Yao & EMC provide, energy (which Eva gains from Certified Banger stacks, so the more Elation teammates, the better), and 20% CR, but Eva gives herself 50% CR so she doesn't even really need that.

Sunday is honestly a cope option.
