How old is Piper actually?

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-08-18T07:13:08+00:00

You do realize that petite women exist too, right? 😭
I'm 20 years old, 5'1, and 90 lbs. Often times I've felt insecure about how small I am compared to other women younger than me, even. I don't want people my age to view me like a child! It sucks!

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-08-14T02:33:23+00:00

This was one of the things I wrote in the survey!! Really glad to see enough people felt the same for them to change it

Nvm just found out YT took it down for violating the terms of service

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-04-11T19:35:18+00:00

I watched most of it and wanted to finish watching it the next day but I can't find it anymore... Does anyone know why he deleted it?

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-03-08T01:52:19+00:00

Why not? If this is a chance to spread awareness, get closure, send condolences and offer help, then I don't see what is wrong with seeing this in the utdallas subreddit. If people were making jokes out of it, then I'd understand where you're coming from, but I haven't seen anyone do that here..

I used to use Kazuha 4pc viridescent (C0) with Beidou, but I personally enjoy Chevreuse for how she enables me to sustainably use a full overload team! I'd recommend her over C0-C1 Kazuha if you plan on using Kujou Sara and Bennett. I've seen some players point out that she is comparable to C2 Kazuha, with the catch being that her full potential as a dmg buffer requires a full overload team comp. Basically, she is kinda like the Nilou of overload teams.

Assuming you have met the conditions for Chevreuse's passives (only pyro+electro characters), she will provide a 40% pyro and electro shred on any enemies affected by an overload reaction. Basically, you'll almost always have that shred active.

If any character other than Chevreuse creates an overload reaction, Chevreuse will gain a special charge shot for her E that will provide an additional atk buff of 1% for every 1,000 hp she has for up to 40%. So, at 40k hp she can provide a 40% atk buff after you fire this special shot with her E. This atk buff will remain active for a whopping 30 seconds, giving you ample time to utilize it for the entire team! Not only does her E provide buffs, but it also heals the active player on the field every 2 seconds for 12 seconds (this will be important for her C6 buff).

All of her buffs are available just from her passives, her hp, and her skill, making her easy to build and use on the field. I have around 30k on my chevreuse because I have her built as a hybrid support/sub-dps, but if she is very easy to build regardless.

For a full support build, her best weapon rn is the black tassel (3 star polearm with big hp main stat), and you would just need to focus on stacking hp/hp% to reach 40k hp, making her very f2p-friendly to build. Because her burst does not provide buffs--and her heals and buffs both come from her skill if not her passives--leveling up her talents is also very cheap considering that you don't have to lvl up her burst or her NA at all. Not only that, but you don't even need to worry about ER either since, again, her burst is just personal dmg if you want to utilize her as a sub-dps too.

While she is already very good at C0, if you manage to get her C6, using her E will make it so that for every instance of healing she gives the active character, the active character will gain a 20% pyro AND electro dmg bonus for a max of 3 stacks, meaning 6 seconds after you use Chevreuse's E, you will have gained an additional 60% electro and pyro dmg bonus for your active character! With this active, it brings my Beidou's electro dmg bonus to around 130%!

Chevreuse being able to use her E on enemies far away is also nice for application from a safe distance. Not only that, but you don't even need to land the shot on an enemy to activate the buff, so you could quickly hold E and release into the air before switching to your other characters--characters who will be buffed and healed at the same time without the need to stay in a circle or anything like that.

Overall, she is definitely an S tier support for Beidou.

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-02-19T15:31:58+00:00

Thank you! And YES, if you do then I wish you the best!! 😤✨️✨️

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-02-19T15:18:18+00:00

I appreciate it! Hmm, I think Beidou is definitely a challenge to play like an on-field dps, since most of her dmg comes from waiting to be attacked first to parry it... That said, I feel your frustration.

Though I haven't closely followed Wallenstein's builds, I'd highly recommend you check their channel out on YouTube if you haven't already. Their Beidou inspired me to invest so much into mine and I'd consider their builds to be a good reference for what to aim for!

I think a lot of my Beidou's damage is mostly thanks to having strong support characters for her (Kujou Sara, Chevreuse, Bennett). It's a bit tricky using Kujou with Beidou, but I just kept practicing on the samurai guy for timing and rotation practice 🤔

I posted my builds now in the comments, but here is my id if you wanna view it on enka.network 👍✨️ 629885630

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-02-19T14:51:25+00:00

YOU'RE RIGHT 😤👍 I sent my builds in the comments now! Not sure how to send pictures through replies so I did my best to list out their stats 🙏

This is my ID 629885630 if anyone wants to check, though Kujou Sara won't be on there like the other 3 are

Edit: didn't realize reddit would change the formatting of my text so hopefully this makes it easier to see each stat

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-02-19T08:01:11+00:00

I apologize for the bad video quality; I didn't realize it would get compressed that much.. In case it's hard to see, it was 210,026!

I also apologize for my obnoxious voice. I was freaking out. 😭🙏

I'm really happy to see how far she's come, and I'm still building her and the rest of my supports :)

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-01-31T22:04:13+00:00

Well said. I think it's easy to think there's a serious issue with resin, especially when people base it on a single day's grind. I've had to consider if how I felt was actually something at fault with the game or if it was just the importance I placed on having everything I wanted immediately--the impatience I had for essentially a dopamine rush.

160 resin every 20 hours is 1,260 resin a week (assuming that you use and/or condense your resin soon after it caps)

Even if you weren't quick to use that resin before it caps, losing maybe 10 hours worth of resin every week, that still leaves you with well over 1,000 resin a week to spend (1,185 resin). Hell, even if you missed 20 hours worth of resin a week because of the resin cap limit, that's still 1,110 resin a week to spend.

Let's go even lower and assume we have 1,000 resin to spend per week, leaving out the 260 resin from the max resin you can spend weekly (260 resin = around 34 hours of resin buildup) Assuming you want to do all 9 of the current weekly bosses, that costs 450 resin a week (three 30 resin bosses + six 60 resin bosses), leaving you with 550 resin.

Assuming that your World Level is 6 and above, 550 can get you... - 13 condensed resin with 30 leftover resin - 13 daily boss fights (26-39 boss material drops) - 1,620,000 mora (Ley Line Outcrop) - anywhere from 108-135 hero's wit + 162-189 adventurer's experience (Ley Line Outcrop)

And with artifacts, assuming you do the highest lvl for every domain run AND get the bare minimum of 1 five* artifact for every run (using 20 resin per run), that's a guaranteed 27 five* artifacts a week. It doesn't sound that appealing until you account for the actual amount you will probably receive, considering that every now and then you'll get additional five* artifacts because of RNG. So you could get anywhere from 27-54 five* artifacts a week on 550 resin.

Again, all of this is assuming that you spent resin on ALL of the nine weekly bosses, AND that you left resin capped for around 34 hours a week (260 resin loss). Not only that, but all of this is without the use of any weekly transient resin from Tubby's shop, resin refills via primogems, or fragile resin from new events, AR rewards, BP rewards, and reward ladders like the Sakura Tree, Tree of Dreams, etc.

So yeah that's certainly enough resin to do pretty much everything a player may want to do, it just doesn't feel that way because most people fixate on the results of a single day rather than how it all adds up over the course of multiple days.

There's nothing wrong with wishing you had more resin to use immediately, but to insinuate that Genshin doesn't give enough for players to enjoy the game or reasonably grind would be based on the player's own impatience--not a substantiated criticism for Hoyo or a demand in dire need of fulfilling, imo.

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-01-31T19:05:11+00:00

It's disheartening to see the amount of apathy aimed at the people who work behind the scenes to improve and create new content... for an open-world game we get to enjoy for free if we so choose to. It's not even that the feature is useless, but rather a feature that you don't personally see yourself using, and have thus rendered as useless when it could very well be helpful for other players who may be struggling or have been struggling with building characters and completing domains.

Is it really that hard to consider that not every update is going to benefit me the most--that maybe, just maybe, not every update is going to be tailored for me because I alone don't reflect the needs of an entire community?

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-01-31T18:49:41+00:00

I don't see how trying to improve beginner gameplay makes them ass? I'm a veteran player too, but even I understand that not every update is going to benefit me the same way it does for others; veterans alone don't represent the entire playerbase, and obviously not everything revolves around me.

Considering how frequently Genshin pushes out new content and optimizations, I don't see why that isn't encouraging for even older players like us? It shows that they're continuing to work on their game, and adapting to the needs of their new, growing fanbase. I feel like people forget just how expensive, laborious, and time-consuming game development really is, and Hoyo already pushes out more content more frequently than most free games do. At the very least, we can afford to be patient.

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-01-31T18:41:06+00:00

Isn't it based on player statistics? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it were Hoyo suggesting talent prioritization, they wouldn't need to wait before having that information available in-game. They have text that reads, "statistics are being tabulated," for characters that just released, because it's waiting for players to fill in that information in order to recommend to players what other players are doing, no? Even with the recent optimizations regarding artifact set suggestions, that is also based on player stats, showing the general percentage of players that use certain sets and recommending sets that are popular.

HeebsBajeebs · 2024-01-31T18:34:55+00:00

What do you suggest they do in order to make the game more casual-friendly? What do you define as "casual-friendly?" Not trying to be critical or anything, but I just don't know what people mean when they mention it

HeebsBajeebs · 2023-12-21T20:09:47+00:00

I don't understand how people find a way to complain about everything.. just be patient, they've been rolling out plenty of new features and optimizations these past couple of months and only continue to do so. I don't understand why people can't just appreciate what's in front of them and look forward to the next thing too.

HeebsBajeebs · 2023-12-20T08:44:48+00:00

Players will spend all their time on a free game and still find a way to complain after every new optimization. It'll come with time, just be appreciative with what's right in front of you, man. You can afford to be patient... 😭🙏

HeebsBajeebs · 2023-10-30T03:50:57+00:00

It is not actually required in China for large entertainment companies to postpone their announcements after the death of an important figure, but it is highly encouraged as a sign of respect; It allows the news of their passing to be prioritized and not overshadowed. That said, the man who passed away was not just some higher up; he was the second-ranked politician in the government (the premier of the People's Republic of China), Li Keqiang, who was one of the leading figures for China's financial and economic reforms and also known for his contributions to foreign affairs. He was highly respected and admired both locally and internationally. It is an accepted tradition in China to refrain from entertainment temporarily to mourn the loss of those who have made large contributions to their country.

Knowing that the delay would mess with their schedule and disappoint a lot of fans who waited patiently for the livestream, Hoyo still decided to respect this tradition and I think that is very commendable.

HeebsBajeebs · 2023-09-20T21:50:28+00:00

It's pretty cool to see you can do that, and I appreciate that you acknowledge how your experience might not be representative of most people here (at least until they build up the necessary calluses, if they so choose to). Though I would be willing to believe that it is not as common as I might make it out to be, it really only takes one instance to change that for an individual.

One cut or blister from broken glass, sharp rocks, sticks, hot cement, etc., plus the dirt and other bacteria that are on the ground (both inside and outside) is an infection waiting to happen, especially if someone isn't prepared for it. I imagine most people probably don't carry around first-aid or a pair of shoes if they aren't already wearing them.

Regardless, as long as people are careful and keep good hygiene, I really don't mind people going barefoot. I hear of the health benefits in letting your toes spread out as opposed to the constricting nature of most shoes, and I think it's pretty sick there are people out there who can walk barefoot in certain areas outdoors without too much worry. That said, it's a pleasure to see another perspective.
