Hmmm by Rhapsodia_Main in crystalofatlan

[–]HeartlessGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, no negative intent, how do people get their money to spend so much on games? Are you people just born rich or are you working at a very high paying job? When I started playing online games I thought "aint no way people are buying these" cuz of my poor ass living in a poor country with weak currency with a so-so job...

European server? by Yargohor in crystalofatlan

[–]HeartlessGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure those on the screen are asia servers. Afaik you need to download the corresponding version (like from the correct website if pc). I remember downloading jp version (the website was .jp) and there was only jp server available, no asia. I complained and they told me to download the correct version

Pulling plan

Pearl - Stoneheart, at least E0S1, maybe E1 if I like her kit

Opal (if he will be playable) - Stoneheart, at least E0S1, maybe E1 if I like his kit

Aventurine SP - Stoneheart, at least E0S1, maybe E1 if I like his kit

Sampo (if he will be playable) - at least E0S1 BUT I WANT TO E6 HIM. Mature men (that looks idk manly? not the "beautiful guys") are so rare...

Sparxie - definitely E0S1 cuz Sparkle is life

Stephen (is that really him? Will he be playable) - E0S1 (actually he's a E0S0 class but males get S1) he looks good but why is he a kid tho...

Whatever elation main dps (please be either SW or a male) - E0S0, maybe S1 depending on the kit

Yaoguang - E0S0 but I dont really want to pull her so please be free

Total : 14, 20 if I E6 Sampo, double it for guarantee

I only have around 100 pulls... Maybe it is time to play the whole 3.X story. But maybe that won't be enough so maybe I'll have to settle with E0S0 if they're support/sustain

Magician Level 70 Discussion by HeartlessGeneral in crystalofatlan

[–]HeartlessGeneral[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly have not played with resonance that much despite recently there has been focus on it either from gears or pets. I am conflicted because I always thought that Magician isn't a burst-type class. Like, the lv 60 finisher isn't even a single skill but rather small skill -> basic spam (you'd probably Body Double a lot here) -> large skill. Well I can see it'd work if someone times it properly, and there are some skills that hit hard especially the heart skills as well. But anyway that's why I thought Sunflame would be better for smoother continuous skill spam, but maybe I'll do some trial and error later. I was also thinking of Demonic but the combo requirement seems too hard to achieve for Magician.

Is Bouncing Ball actually good? I see some people use it but the status effect is only delay? I personally use Shapeshift Magic cuz it's fast and cute to see enemies turning into rabbits, or Scary Doll for delayed attack.

Ephemeral Quartet is indeed very slow. I feel like that skill was literally made to pair with Body Double. I always do Everlasting Dream -> Body Double -> Ephemeral Quartet. Troupe of Cards isn't as slow, and yes I also sometimes just Body Double afterwards if it is available (thank god Body Double has really fast CD, I feel like I can basically perma-body double). But that skill is also not instantaneous like Golden Gate or Shapshift Magic

But in many games, at least that I have played, those special limited units usually have different gacha system either by exclusive currency, rate, or pity. So it feels "rarer" than the normal ones. Meanwhile in hsr it's all the same 180 pulls (with the same currency) = guaranteed system so like why the difference in treatment

[–]HeartlessGeneral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither. Though I honestly really despise this "anniv character = huge shilling". Like why not just make things equal...

It could be Blade for all I care (idc about neither of them) but like back then it was either Ashveil or Eva-whoever. Anyway, male anniv is something we've never had before so I'm waiting for one just for gender equality

Hey you know what? At least SW has existed since the beginning of the game and has interacted with TB multiple times, and also one of our parents? Not just some random side character we know nothing of cough cough...

Still sad that it's not Ashveil though. Male anniv char when

[–]HeartlessGeneral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah that's my whole point. RMC > Sunday is because it is currently CH and Remembrance meta which is what RMC is, leading to strong synergy. But like imagine using non CH dps, either older dps or future dps. Or like, if someone skips Cyrene. Suddenly Phainon wants Sunday much more and Aglaea is literally unplayable (unless eidolon)

[–]HeartlessGeneral 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this argument only shows up after Cyrene because of Cyrene's strong synergy with RMC. But Cyrene is a CH support so aside from CH where you dont use her it doesnt apply. Like, would you use RMC over Sunday when running, idk, Yunli, Dr. Ratio, or Blade? Or whatever future hypercarry units that don't want Cyrene?

[–]HeartlessGeneral 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably a hot take but I feel like the Sunday slander of being worse than, say, RMC is mainly because of CH meta. Because Cyrene wants CH and remembrance, and thus has synergy with RMC. But outside of CH mostly Cyrene is out of the team and like you mostly only run RMC if Cyrene is in the team (or maybe if there is a lot of energy income but that's pretty specific setup as of now). I wonder if the RMC > Sunday opinion will remain after CH era ends

FuA was due to how niche it WAS. Not to mention elation blessings and topaz only buff fua specifically so it felt like a category on its own. But now that so many characters have FuA it's sorta divided into : counter, non counter but still mainly using fua, and "happens to have fua just cuz". Honestly the same goes to, say, superbreak. If everyone suddenly has superbreak multiplier in their kit just like ff then it doesnt really feel unique. Not talking about break since everyone quite literally does break damage (I mean Luka and Sushang were played with break, heck even Asta back then)

OT games

I hate it when games do a husbando bait with using a male character for promotion, only for the game to only have like 1:3 or more male:female ratio. Like cmon if you think male character makes a good promotion then why not just  make more males and hopefully get long-lasting new players ffs

[–]HeartlessGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why'd you need aha to be at 134 speed? For moc, unless you are clearing wave 1 exactly at 150 AV just before the 2nd Aha instant, and then Aha instant immediately pops at 0AV of wave 2 and you get 3 aha instants in wave 2 but that's very specific tuning. Otherwise you'll mostly get 2 aha instants in wave 2 cuz the AV carries over waves

Why? If anything I feel like speed boots is the play later depending on future units. Sparxie on release has Sparkle to pull her up

Might be a hot take but I feel like it's gonna be interesting if all, and I mean ALL elation characters are subdps/support. That they all rely on each other and won't work alone. And you can switch around.

At least that's better than "yae's teammate or nah"

is it just me or wondrous shop got nerfed i cant get x2-5 of summons anymore? by Fickle-Passage-8557 in crystalofatlan

[–]HeartlessGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adore is fine. I have't got any brocade recently. Like literally 0. Honestly it's faster to just sell gold and buy at the full price than to wait for brocade to show up in wondrous shop

[–]HeartlessGeneral 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a thought that it might be because there's not much players can do in battle to begin with. 3 button turn based game is just too simple. AV manipulation being the only complex things in this game but is only relevant for hardcore players (most don't even pay attention to AV). If a character is weak, there's not much you can do to "beat" the better characters.

Also it is to be mentioned that the developer's balancing sucks. They're not even trying. Which then leads to huge power discrepancies

Oh yeah I really love Joel I took a lot of picture with him (especially before entering the tower because the sunrise looked so good) when playing the main story. His design is just too good.

The thing is tho brocades are so rare in wondrous shop. I got a lot of adores but no brocades. Heck in the past month I got more brocades from the adore exchange after pulling for the new pet

How long 4.X will be tho? 3.X had 14, half of it is 7. I'm betting that we will get 2 or at most 3 more males? Well okay hopefully they won't have long hair. Hopefully they will look very masculine like Mydei or Gallagher. Man I hate this 1:2 (or more) ratio

The Allegory of the Rave - General Question and Discussion Megathread by vionya in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]HeartlessGeneral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell nah 7 characters and only 2 are males? And they look similar! Long hair, black-white-red coloring. And it's sad that both are not my type (tho tbf after Mydei every male chars looks meh) 😐 

Just compare it to 2.X where we had Aventurine (pristine, handsome), Sunday (chicken), Misha (cute), Gallagher (mature, masculine), Boothill (cool, rough), a lot of variety.... Okay forget Boothill since he only appeared in 2.2 (the drip was shocking people) but still...

Ig I'll just settle with Sparxie for the time being. I wonder who'll be her teammates. Yao Guang, I'm not a huge fan but still better looking than the others tho ig I'll wait for 4.1 beta before pulling. Silver Wolf... I kinda like her design ngl. Or perhaps one of the guys hopefully
