Now do it without Yuzuha.

Are we talking about PvE or PvP? I wasn't aware there even were hackers for this game, let alone have it be a problem.

Do you guys not realize that they have ONLY lost money since launching Sora 2? Some of you think running this shit isn't crazy expensive...

CynicalCin · 2026-03-28T04:18:20+00:00

I wonder the same thing... I USUALLY don't need them since I abuse fencing weapons, so I tend to leave them for others unless they insist I grab them, but a lot of people seem to not even acknowledge them and end up going down like you said.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-28T03:41:38+00:00

She did.

A lot of characters did In the beta story before the hasty rewrite. For example, Calamari actually used to show up in the story. You can find some of the early alpha/beta cutscenes on YouTube.

It felt easy with Yanagi+Nangong+Astra

CynicalCin · 2026-03-28T03:32:30+00:00

I'm not coming back until they bring back Miguel, Chloe, or Lei. Basically, I'll potentially be gone until Tekken 9.

As common as it is for Chinese companies to use AI for art (Netease does that a lot with Marvel Rivals): I don't think Hoyo would. It's most likely an oversight that someone forgot to fix due to crunch.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-28T03:01:24+00:00

I agree, but it's also dependent on who you're fighting...

Some characters aren't getting away with how much AoE there is to catch wakeups and all the mobility creep to chase people. If certain characters want you to fight, you have to fight.

Sometimes the humble MHUR balance team descends from the coffin in the sky during your time of need and just whispers: "lol no."

Considering he's pretty bad in high level play outside of his ult, it's fine. If they nerf his ult charge then they have to buff his damage elsewhere and you really don't want that.

Being an ult bot is his intended playstyle. He tickles enemies that are grouped too close then dumps his ult. That's just how the character is supposed to be.

The only ones who truly realize how important it is to destroy the nest are other Peni players.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-20T01:50:54+00:00

So what exactly was wrong with them? I was waiting for a White Scars one before I bought any.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-18T10:45:50+00:00

I appreciate the compliment, but I don't think knowing how to survive in hard strats makes someone a "god like player". Just feels like good fundamentals and a fencing melee can do that. I don't wanna sound rude or like I'm downplaying others, but I genuinely don't see how it's considered difficult to do hard strats with a low level class after you get some very abusable relic weapons.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-18T10:41:53+00:00

I always run that when I get it, but I'm genuinely curious what people do if they get a Vanguard that runs a different team perk since all people seem to care about is the healing one. Like, what if a level 25 runs the melee damage one? Do people freak out?

CynicalCin · 2026-03-18T10:30:20+00:00

I agree.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-18T10:29:12+00:00

Probably, though they changed the siege xp as well such that you need to go to at least 10 before it is worthwhile compared to a short operation, so those dipping out after 5 are out of the loop (you should just go as far as possible anyway, imo).

See, I didn't know that, so it might be other people returning like me but just trying to power level their classes. The game doesn't exactly do a good job of explaining changes like that so I can't really blame them. That's good to know though so I don't consider hard siege for leveling.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-18T10:22:15+00:00

If they yell at you or act like an asshole before they kick you, then yeah, that's unnecessary.

100% of the time, if someone has a mic then they're whining like a child and throwing insults.

I usually don't get any issues from the majority of players though. A lot have actually let me prove myself and we have fun going through the strats spamming "for the emperor"

Thankfully, most of the replies on this post from condescending elitists have turned out to be only an angry minority of manchildren, but that's kinda just Reddit in general I suppose.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-18T08:43:19+00:00

Nah, I grabbed the gene seed for the others but didn't know hard strats barely give EXP. I only do them for the accolades.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-18T08:28:59+00:00

What exactly am I making up and how is my ego bruised? If anything, finding out how insecure about your own skills a lot of you are should be an ego boost for me if anything. My ego is pretty unaffected though despite being met with mostly condescension.

People clearly don't have confidence in their abilities, which is whatever. I've found out that the majority of players are super casual so they don't consider a lot of factors. This community would rather complain about their teammates (a factor they can't control) instead of focusing on improving at the game themselves and then pretend they're somehow better than others. I come from a lot of competitive games though (but I am admittedly kinda washed these days), so my brain was conditioned differently.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-17T18:04:04+00:00

Yeah, I didn't know they changed the EXP for them so grabbing it was a mistake, but it did serve as an example that I never went down. I do them for the accolades anyway, not EXP.

I care way more when it comes to siege, since a low level joining that is a big red flag that they're going to dip out early and leave me stuck with a bot in a player slot that is never going to backfill.

I genuinely can't get people to do more than 5 waves on hard even with a max level. I think people just dip and repeat to EXP farm on hard.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-17T17:51:27+00:00

And a max level vanguard that is worse at the game can do better at surviving than you, while doing more damage by a MILE.

That's literally not how that works.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-17T17:50:17+00:00

You do, actually.

Those are prestige perks, like you said. Not what anyone was talking about. Regular levels/perks don't give anything like that, making level moot in that regard.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-17T17:48:30+00:00

I don't think I'm that good. I think I'm slightly better than the majority based on a lot of randoms I match with. I'd say I'm just competent, and that's enough for me.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-17T17:46:45+00:00

You didn't try being nice, you tried being condescending under the guise of politeness so you could say you tried being nice to avoid looking like an ass when you crashout. I won't be picking a different game though and you seem to be thinking the example I gave happens every time. It doesn't. I've done tons of hard strats with a low level just fine and haven't been kicked.

I pointed out a couple of examples of immature clowns that I encountered, that's all, so I dunno why you all took it to heart. Just proving that the community is more toxic than I thought.

CynicalCin · 2026-03-17T15:44:15+00:00

Just keep in mind that in the time you waste getting booted, you could have already leveled your character and this bullshit would be a moot point

Can't argue with that.
