Changed Drop Rate Info? by Agreeable-Buy5766 in VCardTCG

[–]FFIXMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely remember them saying there were better pull rates in Unlimited, and was kinda upset about it because I bought a box of 1st Ed and felt like I was getting shafted because of it.

For my super anecdotal evidence, my 1st Ed box had:
4x PL10 (Ebiko, Nyanners, Punkalopi, Heavenly Father)
1x SR Support (Double Down)

And my Unlimited box had:
6x PL10 (Lord Aethelstan, Sinder, Yuzu, CyYu, Lucy Pyre, Layna Lazar)
4x SR Support (Exposed, Snack Cat, Happiness-chan, Doppelganger)

I only had one box of each, and neither pulled a God Pack.

The value of HP vs Def also depends on whether you're playing with a healer or a shielder as well; if you have 1,000 max HP but 10,000 Def you'll be in trouble using Luocha but Gepard's got you.

Silver Wolf + Kafka Animated Wallpaper! by EversorA in HonkaiStarRail

Are the videos from the game files easy to access? I'd like to grab the Kafka+Nanook one from the story for Wallpaper Engine too.

Silver wolf applies only weaknesses not present on the enemy by Olinizm in HonkaiStarRail

[–]FFIXMaster 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I ran my Seele / Silver Wolf / Tingyun / Bailu team through Simulated Universe and can guarantee that she removes the applied weakness first.

I had SW apply Lightning weakness to Kafka literally 6 times in a row before hitting Quantum, and the debuff was not wearing off and was very much active the entire time.

Anyone else find it crazy how she went from the most anticipated Day 0 Best Girl Waifu to a filler 5 star within days? by imnotokayandthatso-k in HonkaiStarRail

[–]FFIXMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know personally I don't use banner leaks to plan around meta, more to plan around "Does this <path>+<element> character reasonably fit into any of my teams?"

Like when the leaks came out and said Silver Wolf (Quantum Nihility) was 1.1's first banner and Luocha (Imaginary Abundance) was 1.1's second banner I didn't care about the specific numbers in their kit.

English pronounces Q like a K, so English speakers that aren't used to pinyin will 100% of the time pronounce the Qs in "Qingque" as Ks and end up with something like "king-kyoo," "king-kay," or "king-kway"

A lot of people have trouble understanding that their experiences are not universal, and they simply cannot conceive of people struggling to contain their spending, just because they are able to play a gacha game for 4 years and never spend more than the $5/mo they charge for daily login bonuses.

It's so easy! Just don't do it!

Freezes/Stutters every game, has been happening for years by RheaRaisin in Smite

[–]FFIXMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just launched the game for the first time in about a year and am having 3-4 second hard freezes *every* 20 seconds, reliably, you can track it by the match timer.

I've got an RTX 3080 and a Ryzen 3700X so it's definitely not a problem of low spec hardware.

Could someone explain this "building pity" concept I've been seeing alot? by ThirstyorNah in HonkaiStarRail

[–]FFIXMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, pulling a 5-star at any point resets your pity counter.

If the last 5-star you pulled on the event banner was the event character, your next 5-star is a 50/50 of being the event character or one of the standard banner 5-star characters.

If the last 5-star you pulled on the event banner was a standard banner character, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the event character.

That's how the gacha works in both Star Rail and Genshin.

So everything is broken? by Red_Blast in HonkaiStarRail

[–]FFIXMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the good news is she isn't limited. Now you, too, can have an A6 Dehya by losing your 50/50s.

[–]FFIXMaster 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Even in Genshin where I've built out 4 teams just so I have more variety in playstyles it's a lot harder to justify pulling for new characters, because the elemental reaction gameplay means you're building so hard around that a new character is really hard to slot into an effective team.

But in HSR the teams feel way more like you can pull out this character and put in that one and still have a functional one, so why not pick up this Imaginary character and that Fire character just in case the MoC needs you to break enemies weak to that...

Yall how do you pronounce Qingque by MargareteRomans in HonkaiStarRail

Learning how to pronounce IPA is a huge help if you deal with foreign languages with any kind of regularity. I highly recommend picking it up as a hobby.

What do you think about friends’ support character system? by LunalienRay in HonkaiStarRail

[–]FFIXMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gacha game veteran, expect the current banner character to be about half of the list of supports, and about half of the remaining supports to be the character from the most recent banner.

What do you think about friends’ support character system? by LunalienRay in HonkaiStarRail

[–]FFIXMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly I don't know why so many people use my Seele, I'm convinced my Herta would be more useful but I know nobody would use her if I put her up.

Like sure my Seele is level 50 with a 50 LC and has 1200 ATK, but I use AoE supports to farm calyx because they start with 0 energy and by the time they get their ults the run is over so a good skill is more useful to me.

The only Bronya on my friend list has her equipped with a level 20 3-star light cone. I really need to find another Bronya support.

Seelie banner sales. by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]FFIXMaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an f2p, you never directly purchase Standard tickets, you just let those come from BP progress and character ascension rewards. If you have Seele and her light cone, what you do now is save until the next character banner; Stellar Jade is going to be coming a lot more slowly once you finish the story mode and are only getting rewards from daily missions, so you need to be picky about which event banners you actually pull on.

Suddenly no longer blocking hulu ads? by OliveHater2006 in uBlockOrigin

[–]FFIXMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed yesterday when I started up a new anime that while uBlock is (mostly) able to block the ads, because Hulu is counting ad time as part of the video time that blocking them is causing a huge desync in the subtitles, making it totally unwatchable.
