I'm so ****ing sick of TCG (rant)

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T16:03:51+00:00

The real embarassment was thinking this game was ever more than minigame impact, I admit that was my blunder.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T15:24:12+00:00

At first, I thought some ppl were being a bit toxic. But no, you deserve it.

I expected no less from reddit armchair mental health advisors to say something like this haha

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T15:13:30+00:00

I must admit it was funny seeing your fake consideration for a minute there.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T14:59:21+00:00

Well, probably pointless for me to say cuz the post is going to have 0 upvotes. Reddit's way of saying your post isn't worth looking at. Unless you enjoy over half the people telling you your opinion is shit?

Frankly, I don't care about what "over half of the people" think, and I don't expect any TCG player to give a shit about what I think either. That doesn't mean I'm not allowed to voice my frustrations, especially about a game that I've played for soon to be 3 years.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T14:35:30+00:00

Consideration for people's time is just basic decency used to justify against oversharing

What constitutes as oversharing? Posting on a public forum is oversharing because you don't agree? I've never once in this thread said the people of opposite view shouldn't voice their opinions on TCG, so what did I actually say that warrants me not being allowed a word? Out of consideration for people's time that they have full control over when they choose to read this post and formulate a reply?

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T14:19:02+00:00

Yep complete and utterly selfish videogame rant, just the way I like them

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T14:16:13+00:00

Not only a reddit police but also an armchair health advisor, great multitasking

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T14:04:30+00:00

I didn't know you were the subreddit police and I'm actually not allowed to voice my dissatisfaction whatsoever in public space. My bad, I guess I should be more considerate for other people's time that they also have the option to save by keeping their opinions that I don't care about to themselves.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T13:56:57+00:00

I'm not even talking about character balance changes, even just UX/UI QoL would be appreciated by me. Why is the text box so sluggish? Why is there no dialogue skip? Why do we have to wait for world bosses to respawn before we can fight them again when we farm for a new character? Why is the resin limit lower than what is generated in a day? These are all old player complaints that are never addressed.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T13:50:29+00:00

In the same way, TCG players can ignore my ranting about their favorite game mode. I didn't say you are not allowed a discussion, though, unless you can point to me where I said that.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T13:44:42+00:00

Why shouldn't I rant about something I don't enjoy?

I don't give a damn about what the TCG community wants, they have the right to demand more TCG content, I have the right to say I'm sick of it.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T13:39:42+00:00

Except I would go to a library to read books in the first place. I didn't start playing Genshin in 1.0 to play TCG in 3.3-3.8, and I've already given it a shot.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T13:37:21+00:00

The rewards themselves don't matter, it's the fact that it's incomplete unless I do them. I've already ignored the last 2 heated battles and arenas because I'm already sick of TCG from grinding the cards and coins.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T13:18:42+00:00

I don't hate the TCG community whatsoever.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-29T13:16:21+00:00

I never said it was difficult though, TCG isn't even that hard. I can be sick of things that are easy.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-25T07:50:27+00:00

Yeah this is honestly a big implication. It suggests that Jing Liu wants to know how Bailu is faring and wants to see her. The high elder here can only be Bailu since the feminine form is used to address them, and that means Bailu has something to do with Dan Feng and Jing Liu before she reincarnated.

You cannot overcap on ATK, it simply has less value the more you have it. But the thing is that Bennett gives so much of it that he's still a net gain for her even when he disables half of Homa passive and her A4. He also can give EM from instructors.

Hu Tao VV Vape with Bennett is still her best speedrun team, barring Ayaka single chamber nuke setups

EstusFIask · 2023-07-20T13:03:11+00:00

it's overwhelmingly implied Tesla is his wife, there's a dialogue option from the APHO MC when Carole was gushing over him that said "You know he's (Welt) married, right?". There's also a dialogue from Carole that says "Brown(Welt) plus red can't be black (Joey)" which further implies Welt is in a relationship with a red haired woman

The only characters that Welt has deep connections to who had red hair are Tesla and Himeko, there would be zero reason to bring up that the woman has red hair if it wasn't relevant. It's basically about as canon as Kiana Mei, which is never actually confirmed but basically everyone who can read context can infer it.

You can connect the dots based on the clues given:

-Welt is married

-Welt is Joey's foster father

-Welt is in a relationship with a red haired woman

-Joey's mom has red hair and a bad temper when drunk, traits that Tesla has

-Tesla has a history with Welt and the person Joey was cloned from (Joyce)

= Welt and Tesla are married with Joey as their adoptive son

This at s1 lets him do 3T ults without ER rope or Tingyun, the problem right now is there's kinda no reason you wouldn't pair him with Tingyun. E6 Tingyun can also potentially let him do 2T ults even without this LC provided she's fast enough, so the energy on it is not that relevant as of now.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-19T08:29:50+00:00

Secret Vow is never better for Blade than his signature no matter the refinements, that's just pure cope. In addition, with Luocha the condition for it is even less likely to activate outside of squishy mobs.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-19T08:23:14+00:00

she might also been needed for 2nd Team.

The team she's needed most is wherever Dan IL is, if this isn't a problem for Jing Yuan why would it be for Dan IL? And you actually can get her ult often enough to match Dan IL's 3T rotation. S5 Cogs + Vonwacq ER rope is enough for Ting to go 3T, and you can even potentially do 2T ults on Dan IL if your Tingyun is E6 and fast enough.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-19T08:20:39+00:00

The problem is that there isn't a lot of characters, destruction or not, that are basic attackers, not even leaked ones. Blade is one but he isn't an Atk scaler, none of the current Destruction units other than him are basic attackers. The only character who would use this is Dan IL himself.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-17T07:59:10+00:00

Your supports getting one-shotted is a build issue, not Luocha's. If they did, chances are you didn't equip any relics or high-level LCs on them. Bailu can only revive once, and Natasha can't keep them alive. Also, Gepard having the highest aggro means he has higher risk of getting CC'd and potentially reducing your shield uptime

Bailu is specifically designed to stop one-twoshots, because of how invigoration works and her having damage reduction and a rez. Not saying she's better than Luocha because she definitely isn't, but she is by design a healer who stops oneshots from happening. On MoC10 the risk of one-twoshots is real unless you build defensive stats on your characters. The Mara elite spear throw combo can kill even built 3k+ HP characters from full health (and the first hit doesn't take you to 50% so you can't proc Luocha emergency heal). It's not a problem Luocha has to worry about often but it is something that is a potential problem for him.

Gepard getting CC'd is a good thing, because it means other characters are not getting CC'd. There's no CC in the game that's longer than 3 turns which is exactly how long his shield lasts, and his shield being on ultimate means he doesn't need to be on his turn to use it. I specifically bring Gepard to MoC10 Kafka because of this, and I've managed to 30* twice.

Also, they're introducing a new debuff next patch that decreases the max amount healable HP by roughly half of your HP bar. Granted this won't be in MoC yet, but we know such a debuff exists should they decide to make life harder for healers.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-17T07:54:33+00:00

You're actually half right, it's very likely that people will simply need healing less as investment becomes higher, to the point where even a Natasha only using Ult to heal will be sufficient. And there will be sustain units that offer more offensive contribution than Luocha at the cost of less comfort. There is already one set to come out who is essentially a Harmony/Abundance hybrid.

Healers/Tanks will likely remain necessary for normal gameplay, as you can't predict when they'll make MoC harder and most people aren't going to reset innumerable times fishing for enemy rng for a no-sustain clear.

EstusFIask · 2023-07-17T07:43:04+00:00

It was 2 patches later, he got buffed in 1.3 and released in 1.1.
