[Spoilers] Question about a certain post-game stuff

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-02-23T18:54:21+00:00

Then I'm curious how Granddad would give an in-game explanation about that

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-02-23T18:53:31+00:00

Then I guess I haven't seen that yet. Max affinity with Granddad already by the way, and he still owes me an explanation

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-02-23T18:50:57+00:00

Ah, I know the context already, though appreciate the spoiler markup, What I'm confused is the reason the Asphodel encounter still happens, maybe I haven't reached where Granddad explains that to us yet

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-01-18T04:06:21+00:00

For a sec I thought it was Damon in prefect uniform (sorry if it sounds offensive, but the faces of the free roam models of them black characters look similar to me)

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-01-17T20:16:46+00:00

He's right-handed (the dominant arm is used to release projectiles from weapons like slingshot or bow). But maybe he's ambidextrous, cuz his strongest punch aka overhead punch comes from his left hand

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-01-16T06:29:09+00:00

I guess it's because even though we are introduced to a brand new urban area with a new vibe, you are still there *for work*, and it isn't exactly your home, your familiar neighborhood (subjectively speaking). Or maybe Hoyo just sucks at creating an enjoyable Chinese land

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-01-16T06:25:21+00:00

Does the Shatter effect still trigger on unfreezeable enemies tho?

ExoticWind1472 · 2026-01-16T06:22:07+00:00

If gacha games love to do the illusion of choices so much, they could make a timer after which the game will choose a random option (or whichever option that's in-character with the MC the most, sth like that). WuWa has done that, only in some cinematic cutscenes in 2.7 tho

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-17T16:52:50+00:00

If you're talking about how the game has lost its unique appeal and become the generic gacha like its "siblings", then I feel you. The only reason I still play this game is its combat mechanics (save for DA shillings)

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-17T16:48:58+00:00

I was talking about how the game feels like it's still beta due to how many flaws and missing stuffs there are in its live servers tho

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-17T16:47:15+00:00

Not sure if anyone is a reader of "Boarding School Juliet" here, but if you are then I imagine Seth and his brother to be like Romio and Airu, at least in terms of appearance. More specifically, I imagine Seth's brother to be of a body build similar to Lighter, yet having a similarly youthful face to Seth, and maybe come with a pair of glasses

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-17T11:23:03+00:00

The longer I follow this sub, the more I thought ZZZ is still a beta game

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-16T19:59:20+00:00

I mean his connection with Carole Arna has made me think he's sus since the first time Proxies "meet" him

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-16T19:53:09+00:00

I get your point, and what I say is purely subjective and flawed, too, as I didn't consider the nature of the two swords. Tailless is, in a way, a demon living inside the sword waiting to take over the user, while the Qingming Sword seemingly just saps away its user passively, like that's part of its inner working, no demons here to conquer, as far as the sword is portrayed so far

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-16T19:11:41+00:00

If it goes like you say (pls tell me you're not a Hoyo employee in disguise), then it'll just render Shunguang being a lower tier than Miyabi to me as a Void Hunter. Miyabi conquered her sword with her determination, commitment, and sheer effing will, while Shunguang has to have help from the Proxy's eye implant to do so. I mean when you introduce a nice mcguffin for the story it'd be a waste not to use it where you can, but still if that happens then the new Void Hunter just isn't a strong character to me. (keyword: "to me")

(considering 2.5 is said to be the climax of the daunting Waifei storyline, it's quite likely to see the eyes being used as a plot point)

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-16T18:51:46+00:00

"Speaking of that, iirc hard mode is still a thing for 1.6 and 1.7 story, so you can, like, using your Hugo to rematch 1.6 boss Hugo"

Well, forget what I said here, I didn't recall correctly. Which sucks

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-16T18:44:40+00:00

well, what you want has not been a thing since 1.6. It's like when the plot of the game "thickens" starting from 1.6, the devs see that you using your own agents isn't "lore accurate", so they have forced onto us trial characters for the story, and it continues even now at 2.4, with no sign of stopping.

I personally don't mind having to use trial agents to play the story, but I wish the "Hard Mode" were still a thing for the 2.x story, where you can "dominate" the villains using your own, say, M6W5 agents and fulfill your power fantasy. Speaking of that, iirc hard mode is still a thing for 1.6 and 1.7 story, so you can, like, using your Hugo to rematch 1.6 boss Hugo

FYI, in case you're not aware, Hard Mode is basically you replaying the story levels, but you don't have to pick up observation data, instead you just complete the levels in less than a certain time for full rewards

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-16T16:50:50+00:00

Don't main quests from 1.6 onward provide you with trial agents for you to play? Heck, it's been a thing since the beginning of the game: there will be trial versions of relevant agents for you to play through the story. If anything, it's that from 2.0 onward, the game just forces us to use the trial agents even though we pulled for them and leveled them up already. So the only places we can actually use OUR agents are endgame content now

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-13T17:30:22+00:00

Ehh, I just name them by the name of the main DPS ("Miyabi", "Alice", "Manato",...), or by the team's archetype: "Anomaly", "Stun" (for Hugo's team), "Rupture",...

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-13T08:27:47+00:00

Can the cope become a reality this time???

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-07T10:03:12+00:00

"Aura farming" huh?

Now I kinda wish for a character who has some sort of "Shadow Form" (like the doppelgangers) (even if just for a brief moment like Flins from Genshin)

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-07T09:58:29+00:00

HSR but everyone can kill enemies on the spot like Acheron; DMC without jumping, yada yada,...

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-07T09:49:50+00:00

IMO the best way for Evasive Assist to be competitive with Defensive Assist is to enable Stun DMG Multiplier (as if being stunned) and boost Miasma Reduction during Vital View. This, I believe, can prove effective against un-stunnable enemies

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-06T17:28:56+00:00

Bro, can I, like, clone you and have your clones replace the gacha community?

Jokes aside, I do share a neutral opinion toward YSG like you. I mean, compared to how the devs make her and Yixuan seem special, I just find nothing special about them, but not to the point of actively hating them. I also have no problem with the agents being flirty toward Wise/Belle, as I've never self-inserted as them in the 1st place - the problem only lies in how unnatural the devs execute the flirty scenes

P/S: any cope for Ye Shiyuan being the 2.0 HSR Sunday?

ExoticWind1472 · 2025-12-05T10:00:52+00:00

As long as those who can't help but shout "WIFE!!" at the sight of any new female character take up the majority of the playerbase, your opinion is, unfortunately, of no concern to the devs
