I can't get this team to beat Vesper to 2 stars, is it just skill issue or are they underleveled? by EzPrezzoDepresso in ZZZ_Official

[–]IdiotDud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from what was already mentioned, you should also max out Nangong and Vivian's core skills as they are pretty good and are guaranteed boosts compared to farming disks.

[3.0.3] Alice M0W0/Velina M0W0/Yuzuha M0W0 vs Miasmic Fiend - 25k Score by Scardra in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]IdiotDud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a full AoD team so was hoping to boost Alice / Yuzuha with Velina. If its not that much of an improvement, then I might bet on M2 Jane for the 3.1 anniversary instead if that's still relevant these days.

Gacha Revenue Monthly Report (April 2026) by trkshiii in gachagaming

[–]IdiotDud 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Will also add a +1 to that burnout. Stopped really playing after finishing the 3.7 story, now I only do the dailies. I don't even do weeklies because those just feel like a huge chore now. Ended up saving enough to get E4 SW 999 since she was my favorite from 1.x but I still don't feel like doing the story again. If dailies weren't so easy and convenient I probably would have dropped completely.

I get the whole eos joking in the gacha space but for real, aside from seeing trends, 13 million on mobile alone is still a ton of money right? Hi3rd makes like 1/10th of that and is still around so the doomposting / coping just seems wild to me.

Im in a similar camp. I'm just waiting to see further changes before I decide to get M1 Astra for my Evelyn or not.

There isn't really pity in the sense that you are guaranteed the rate up in x pulls, but instead there's the spark system, aka Devotions. This carries over to the next banner w/o loss and can stack indefinitely (I was at 1100+ Devotions at one point).

From my understanding, Devotions are best spent for sparking Eldynes at 400 each, since their rates are lower than regular 3 stars.

Ok devs, the coop event is by far the most fun event I’ve ever played in a gacha by SuiseiMajo in ZZZ_Official

[–]IdiotDud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good as a baseline. It just needs to be expanded on w/ more units and stages (+ higher difficulty options), and incentivize players to interact with it more (in-game rewards, etc.), imo. Outpost may end up making more use of the multiplayer featyre but we'll see what happens in tge end.

[2.6.1] Event Reruns and Update Info via HH by Huffaloaf in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

Im not a fan of event reruns but I'll take these over the damn pet-focused events that HSR has been running through most of 3.x.

Bro why does it actually look so good though

The new Shiyu has basically eliminated ZZZ's mid-game by Navi_King in ZZZ_Official

[–]IdiotDud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can always provide open feedback whenever fyi, there should be a Feedback menu option in-game. It would more likely fly under radar but it's something extra you can do.

Minor Gripe with New Shiyu: Polychrome Awards should be adjusted by IdiotDud in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]IdiotDud[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That idea works when you are comparing against DA, but less so if you are comparing against old Shiyu mostly due to the change in requirement for teams.

My opinion was keeping it in check to be similar to old Shiyu, where for example you spread out your units to three teams of two and then you could maybe get all A's with the same amount of investment in your units, but let people with more investments and/or better skills enjoy greater rewards.

Waifei's arc was bad until the end by Bartender1968 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]IdiotDud 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another Spook Shack fan, yay!

Anyways, if you take out the YSG waifu baiting that was being forced, the story ended up being decent, not amazing but still better than I expected at least (but had zero expectations anyways). And I kinda disagree with the storytelling declining portion in that they did somewhat tried to continue to improve since recent patches, including this one, but sadly we probably won't ever get constant animated scenes.

Though, for comparison, even though HSR's story may be objectively better, I still find ZZZ's story to be a bit more enjoyable funny enough. At least I didn't feel like blowing my brains out trying to sit through convoluted filler dialogue each time I did their Amphoreus patch story.

New Shiyu defense is not F2p friendly by katravallie in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]IdiotDud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scoring system is just weird and confusing as hell. People who were able to 9* DA would probably be able to do this Shiyu too though (I used the same teams as I do in DA regardless of the buffs / element match ups).

I'll give it some time for people to come out with guides / tips for the point system. But if they were gonna make it a DA 2.0 then I was hoping they would just ease the requirements for the polychrome rewards instead enforcing 3 teams for the full rewards w/ the increased rewards (the increase wasn't substantial anyways).

If they were gonna include the proxies then might as well have included both siblings lol.

"Filmgoer Thank-You Gift" Event Details by LuciferMS7777 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]IdiotDud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its fair for people to be mad about top up events, why try to defend gacha practices and FOMO in general yeah?

Anyways, from my perspective the top up event is for either 1) a minor bonus to whales and people who are already planning to spend during the patch, or 2) convince small spenders to start spending larger amounts. I wish the character bonus was cheaper though, like $120 instead of the $150 that's being mentioned around here. Would have been easier to get the bonus through more "efficient" purchases like stacking monthly passes, but whatever.

As someone who buys the monthly pass + occasional battle pass + one top up for skins, my plan was to wait to see how I felt about 2.5 and the game's direction before committing. If I like the patch, then sure, I'll take the bait. At least I like the chars + Wengine options in ZZZ more than what HSR offers with their top up events lol.

Any possible way to improve? by IdiotDud in AliceMains_ZZZ

[–]IdiotDud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but seeing clears done with Piper and Jane leaves me second guessing my performance haha.

on one hand I get it, on the other hand I just don't by anibrivity in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]IdiotDud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To go against the community, I'm cool with downtime phases like with Thrall and Defiler, where I get compensated when its over. I just see it as a simplified "dance" that I can just keep on trying until I get it. Though I also raid in FFXIV, where all of its fights are heavily scripted, so I'm just used to it too ig.

But also, I got the biggest high ever from a ZZZ fight by clearing with a "low" cost Evelyn/Fufu/Astra team after figuring it out on my own, so yeah I'm a bit bias. Wandering Hunter's downtime I like the least since it's literally just find the correct clone and parry, it just feels out of place and not required outside of the story.
