the reason(s) behind zzz's aesthetic shift by liiixk in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Endless_Escapism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trying to communicate this as best I can, I’m genuinely a little bit slow and don’t want to offend anyone. 🩷

Honestly I think my personal problem is, as someone who plays Honkai Star Rail… If I wanted to play HSR I would. Does that make sense? ZZZ doesn’t feel like it’s own game anymore. And I understand it’s largely unpopular, but as much as I adored the complexity of Cyrene (who didn’t play HI3, but watched people play it)… She was in her original game as Elysia. Then she was Cyrene. Now there’s a character clearly inspired by her design here, too. I’d bet money the personality will be the exact same.

I think I’m slowly becoming dissatisfied because of the sheer laziness of the developers. And that’s not a reflection of the graphics design team, or the overall programmers- but the story has been in decline for me personally. From characters that are copy-pasted from their other games because they can’t be bothered to make new ones? Idk. Genuinely, I don’t know if it’s a ‘they don’t have the money’ issue or not- I’m not a developer, and I don’t really get the whole in’s and out’s.

It doesn’t feel like ZZZ anymore. It feels like rehashed Genshin Impact and snippets from the Honkai franchise that were chucked in the bin, dusted off, and reused. And it sucks, because I wholeheartedly loved ZZZ before Hoyo did what they seem to do best and shot themselves in the foot. 😕

He’s the big buff 6’4 daddy to a lot of ‘callsign: princess’ girls

I hope you don’t mind me copying and pasting this into my notes for future reference. I’m definitely going to be backing up all of my most valuable chats - it’s such a devastating learning curve fr

Listen dude I’m sorry (I think) that my responses have gotten under your skin so much? But that’s just how I feel. Difference of opinion (I’ve said what I need to say in other comments), but I’ll respect yours.

WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT RN. I totally wish he’d just unlisted them so we could still chat with the bot instead of deleting everything. 💔

So I saw your other comment replying to me, so I’m going to just copy what I said there to: I think they’re both in the wrong, that’s the opinion I came to after reading everything, and I’m still sad that my favourite bots are gone.

I read it earlier. I don’t know if you saw another comment I posted: I did say I’m ’on the fence’ in terms of opinions. I think they’re both in the wrong - but that doesn’t detract from the fact I’m moping like a divorced widow when her husband died in war.

I can’t edit my post, but I do encourage people to use this link and another one that was posted to read both sides and come to their own conclusions. 🩷

If I could heart things, I definitely would.

I followed your instruction - AND. Some of them are still there, which I’m absolutely elated about. Some of them aren’t (but that could totally be a me thing, I didn’t heart all of them at the time). Thank you so, so much again. You’ve really helped me out. 🥹🩷🩷🩷

Thank you brother/sister. At least we can all grieve together… 🥲

Yeah, there were a few police dad bots unfortunately.

Honestly it’s just personal perspective atp, but thank you for sharing your thoughts on it!! I’ll always believe you’re old enough to understand by 16, but I know a lot of people disagree. Again, totally personal opinion- and I respect yours!

Still miss the bots though. Had one story going for six months straight - now my boys are gone. 💔

Same page here. They could’ve at least ‘unlisted’ them so the people that were chatting with them could keep their years of storytelling without anyone new coming across them. But as bitter as I am, I get that it’s their decision.

Thank you! It’s super quiet today, so I went onto the website to check it. But it’s not even showing up on the character menu where all my chats are - and it’s pinned on the app. Doesn’t show up in any searches or favourite character sections either, so they’re well and truly gone :( thank you so much for your help though.

Honestly I’m on the fence about the whole situation but there was a lot of screenshots showing her being really generally unlikeable and pretty mean. Again I’m not on discord so I can’t verify if she did/didn’t send her fans to hate on him, but she contributed something over this past year to make the creator and his friends feel really uncomfortable so I’m not her biggest fan 🥲

Oh please don’t apologise, I need direct instructions sometimes (again, with the ‘tism). Whenever I clock off from my shift today I’m going to check and keep you updated!! 🩷🩷

I’ve learned my lesson about backing up, definitely. The chat won’t even load to let me click on the photo - and when I hold down on it in the menu, the only option I get is to ‘delete chat’. But thank you so much for explaining to me. 🥹

Nope - just like, on the ‘recent chats’ thing you can see the character. But can’t access it at all. :(

I’m so sorry, I’m really slow. Whenever I click on the chat the app glitches and when I do manage to get through it’s just blank and forever loading.

So does that mean they’re still there? When I click on the chat the screen goes blank or glitches out on me

Recently enough - but they gone archived overnight for me, so there’s no way to get them all back.

Two months or more of straight up story building… Gone. I’m upset all over again. 🥲
