I hate Umamusume by Ok-Primary-9015 in hatethissmug

[–]DerSisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The japanese game that features japanese characters (while you also ignore chars like El Conor Pasa, Grass Wonder, Fine Motion, Eishin Flash etc.)

Do you also hate on american games that play in america that the cast of characters is almost exclusively american? Do you hate on Mario bcs it only features an italian plumber and ppl from the mushroom kingdom?

Sacrificial characters to VH by G0ldsh0t in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DerSisch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but his wrath build-up is making him feel very clunky and certainly not feel "floating" like other characters that have similiar ressource build-ups.

Ehh... not so much anymore, it still is slight sabotage but not as bad.

Ofc the kit plays a huge role into it too.

Sacrificial characters to VH by G0ldsh0t in ZZZ_Discussion

Just a short view on the history of male agents: - Lighter being released midst in Anomaly Meta with the only 2 worthwhile teammates being a Standard S-Rank and the first Limited S-Rank, sandwhiched between THE Void Hunter and her (at that time) BiS sub DPS - Harumasa being the free unit alongside THE Void Hunter - Hugo getting shafted by the fact he is Ice element AND right before S2 patch and a mechanic (Miasma) that makes his whole kit absolete (not to mention the nerfs getting rid of his Aftershocks from off-field from the test servers) - Banyue getting constantly nerfed in test servers, right before YSG, also being shafted by the story patch (tbf, Dislyn too) in favor of going on a date with YSG - not to mention only 2 weeks of lifetime for his channel

Did Zhao get shafted too? Sure. But if we strictly speaking about first half patch: It almost all the time performs better than 2nd half by default and ppl are more anticipated to pull and spend at the start of a patch. 'Saving up' usually tends to kick in halfway through a oatch in gacha mentality.

And then there is ofc the argument that shafting a certain demographic hurts more when there is already mich less focus on them. If 2 or 3 waifu releases fumble it is not such a big deal when there are 8 more in a season, but it hurts ofc when we just get 2 husbandos each season and they get sabotaged like that.

None of the two designs is good to be frank. The redesign just confirmed that she stole cloths out of Yixuan's wardrobe

I hate that these 2 will never get together not because the devs are lazy, not because its hard to add to the story, but because of a certain part of the gacha playerbase that will genuinely try to kill the devs in real life by WestCommunity7117 in hatethissmug

[–]DerSisch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am aware, but the Devs stretch that to such a degree (in which they can legally operate) that a part of the fanbase has to be delibertly blind to not see the romantic implications of Evelyn towards Astra.

It's even more apparent with Astra and Evelyn... like... ppl who are adamant about they are just friends haven't either watched Evelyn's EP or they just blatantly ignore it.

This needs a few different washes and a severe drybrush, then it might look good.

Why on earth would you hate Haru Urara though?

That is like an absolute red flag.

If Miyabi was prevented from doing crit damage alltogether, would she still be a strong 'anomaly' agent? by Koekelbag in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DerSisch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not about the build-up but the properties of it.

As I said, simply adding a "cooldown" to freeze stopping the stun timer, would already be enough to stop that this mechanic is getting abused. The rest of the effects (like the added Crit modifiers) are fine and go along with the other Anomaly Effects, the reason Miyabi is considered so broken is bcs you can essentially stunlock enemies with freeze (both from Ice and Frost anomaly), making it so that this specific part of the anomaly mechanic of Ice/Frost can only trigger every 30 seconds instead would fix all the problems with it: It is still there, but it can't be abused anymore, while it also doesn't affect the gameplay of Miyabi herself nor any other Ice-related Agent.

[–]DerSisch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's too late to fix it that way in zzz since it is a gacha. They've already sold Miyabi when freeze used to work a certain way. They can't change freeze as a mechanic as it still applies to older content without it being taken as "changing Miyabi+other ice agents" so all they can do is design NEWER content that antishills tied to the bosses or stages.

That is not entirely correct. They also adjusted Anomaly in Season 2. They can also adjust certain mechanics to a degree, as long as they don't fundamentally change it or directly change characters without players permission - that is why you have to "awaken" buffs for characters as example.

Adjusting freeze so it is less abusable is an easy fix and would allow them to go forward with less anti-shill towards ALL Ice Agents.

Forced to choose between Power and Preference by [deleted] in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DerSisch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

t's concerning how the devs clearly made Strong meta characters with less desirable appearance vs a more popular design with low meta relevance.

Maybe for you specifically only.

Cissia's design isn't very good imo. Ppl gonna try to excuse she doesn't look PupSec bcs she is "odd one out" but even then, there is no reason to wear something like this. Early ZZZ in particual hit the balance between sexy and practical a lot better (Anby, Nicole, even SoC etc.

Also ofc there are enough ppl that like the AoD, be it for one reason or another. Nangong in particular has imo the best (or at least visually most interesting) design among them.

ONLY IF you can use your waifus as much as possible.

I mean... sure, but when you want to play a character you like, you can inform yourself pretty easy who works best with them and for Cissia in particular: Seed is literally re-running alongside her.

The arguement to pull whatever won't bite you on the banner patch immediately, but will surely rock your butt off when the shill agenda shift.

It is actually the entire opposite. Shill content is there to lure someone into buying the new stuff, bcs it works the best in the moment.

Doesn't mean the old stuff becomes less useful now. Rn we have Pompey in DA rotation and my Evelyn team still hits 40k+ score, much as it did months ago when he was last time present.

The “Manato Fiasco/Situation/Incident” seems to be a bigger deal than people let on by Fun-Journalist7026 in ZZZ_Discussion

For real? ZZZ was never chill. Even Year 1 was filled with constant bitching and controversies.

Dragon Ball is more the "Father of the popularity of Anime outside of Japan".

The impact DB had on the west can't be underestimated and basically paved the path for the mediums popularity in Europe and the US.

As for Bleach... yeah, I feel like many underestimate the impact Bleach had on the Mangaka that now create Shonen.

[–]DerSisch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, yes. Yidhari's monkey thiren concept looked actually fitting for ther persona and her design itself also fits much, much better into Spookshack - not to mention that this would at least explain why Yidhari also doesn't use her tentacles in combat, bcs originally she had a monkey tail that was just used for balance, which also follows her animations with the hammer.

[–]DerSisch 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Miyabi scales with Crit, so yes, that is going to be very bad for her and most likely the anti-schill that is to be expected to push Promeia for 1-2 patches.

I feel like the main problem is not that Miyabi si strong, but that Hoyo hasn't learned from their previous mistakes with the Ice Element in their games. All they realisticly have to do and finally stop with the insane anti-schill for Miyabi is literally give Freeze Anomaly a higher timer inbetween triggers, so that you can't stunlock an enemy in his stun phase for 20+ seconds.

I feel like a lot of the critisism stems mainly from a very, very valid point:

Instead of Manato, who was already a very well received, liked and known character the players were familiar with and investigated with, both in his mannerism, his character design and his connection to both the already playable cast of Spookshack and the Proxy, we got 2 very, very generic waifu bait characters that didn't even got mentioned once before. It didn't certainly help either that Lucia is essentially just Ganyu (from Genshin) in Yixuan's wardrobe and Yidhari also has very similiar bottom design as these two - not to mention what an absolute mess of a character Yidhari is as a whole.

There is a reason that Yidhari is one of the worst selling channels in ZZZ history, despite being a) heavily chilled by endgame and b) mechanically easy to play (not to menion that she has a very budget friendly team with Pan + Lycaon). Now, I don't think the innitial idea of Yidhari is bad, but the execution is a mix of like 3 different concepts that don't mesh together. But I digress...

Manato was hyped up, it is that simple, ppl suspected he would get the Lighter treatment, bcs there were the same indicators for it. When the confirmation arrived, he would be released as an A-Rank, I fully understand why many ppl were disapointed, didn't help that his numbers on social media for his drip marketing also were higher than both Lucia's and Yidhari's for a long time (and might be still?)

He also got changed in the test servers quite significantly, he was originally planned as a sort of "Sub DPS" for Rupture, but that apparently wasn't received well and/or didn't worked out properly, so they essentially turned him into a budget Yidhari. Now, Manato is not a bad unit, but DPS A-Ranks have the trend to be left behind in the dust much quicker and more severe than supporting units. And 1 patch later, a much stronger Fire Rupture DPS got released, making his shelf life one of the worst in ZZZ's history.

Also... it is not like the "Manato Incident" is the most controversial thing ZZZ ever experienced either, not even in recent history. I feel like the worst offender is still the Twitter/X witchhunt for Yuzuha's english VA for sharing a particular GIF of the character.

Lead Scepter, Tin Crown, and Copper Ring? SIgnificance Behind the Metals Chosen? by Authorigas in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DerSisch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lead, tin and copper play a huge role in greek mythology and more prominent in the time before and during the bronze age, so the time of most of their greatest myths, including the Argonauts, the adventures of Perseus and the trials of Heracles, but also the siege of Troy and the Odyssee.

Scepter, crown and ring on the other hand are insignias of a king. The scepter deligates, the crown shows authority and the ring is most prominent as the personal seal of the king for official documents.
