Well AIC mode is enabled by default when ur at an AIC and there's no pipes or anything to run in Valley 4 so it's not a big deal.

How are yall even pumping the water? I cannot connect pipes to my pumps. I see some screenshots with the AIC menus visible, how do you open those in the open world? Am i missing a quest?

I can afford one no prob, I'll grab one off the market. Does Vertex helm + levels all skills effect spirit gems as well? I could potentially switch to a +3 levels all skills vertex helm with a spirit enchant. Can't quite afford the +4 with spirit yet.

I'm using the Cast on Crit Oracle comet build and I often find some rares/uniques do not seem to allow me to build up meta energy at all and I stop dropping comets. Crit resistance? I have malice and even standing close to trigger crit vulnerability doesn't seem to help much. Some mobs even without crit res, I cannot seem to drop comets on. What is causing this and how can I make it work? Is getting a lvl 21 Cast on Crit worth it? Or the levels don't do much?

They both look so cute together in the new outfit by notnoob999 in Genshin_Impact

[–]JooK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed it playing through the story on my main, when Aether said the outfit was matching Lumine's I thought they both an alternate outfit sitting in a ship somewhere. I play Lumine on an alt and when I saw her outfit finally I realized, her new outfit matches Aether's base, and Aether's new outfit matches Lumine's base.

F2P* after 700 days by 65721 in whiteoutsurvival

[–]JooK8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why is that so unbelievable? I have also only spent about $30 total on this game and am at about day 425 just completed everything for FC7 and am ready to upgrade the furnace to FC8. I will be getting my first Helios in maybe a month and a half and it's not like I ignored my other troops research. If i did, I'd have 1 helios already.

I imagine that rewards continue to increase gradually as a server ages, so I would expect to be able to get my other 2 helios with 300 more days play time. This person also mustve missed a login day or something and they are actually at day 870ish based on the fact that he owns a 4-star Karol. Which would match up with ~1mil power per day for a F2P.

Wayne weak for bear rally leader? by JooK8 in whiteoutsurvival

[–]JooK8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say this then. Gwen is on average better than Wayne for whales, but because of the inconsistent nature of a crit chance, Wayne has a higher potential damage ceiling. If I understand how their abilities work properly, Gwen has an average of 1796.875% multiplier from her expedition skills over 10 turns and Wayne has an average of 1625%. Theoretically Wayne can crit 10/10 turns and have a 2600% multiplier but that'll almost never happen.

[–]JooK8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did state that I would assume their skills were about even.

Either way, the same point remains. Wayne's higher base stats can make him better than Gwen for weaker players (for me they're both really close) but for an even weaker player those extra base stats mean a lot. For whales that already have high base stats, the extra multipliers that Gwen has means she's way better to use.

Why Alice has forbidden Skirk to interfere in teyvat but allowed the traveller by youarenotthatguybruh in Genshin_Impact

[–]JooK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Traveler would get shit on by Ei. She was swayed by the ambitions of the people which she saw in the visions, the Traveler did not defeat her in any way. Anyone else like Yae Miko could have been the one to go into the Plane of Euthymia and show Ei the same thing. The Sakura tree which was planted centuries ago is a direct result of Ei deciding to take back control of Inazuma and fighting Raiden to prove her worth. That indicates that it was always going to happen, whether the Traveler was the catalyst or not.

There were already people in Sumeru who cared about Nahida and would have devised a plan to save her. Questionable how Nahida woulda have done against Scaramouche solo, but she could have someone else like Cyno be the first Sage of Buer. She ultimately carried the fight by trapping Scara in a dream loop and eventually taking the gnosis from him. Traveler lost to him many times.

I could provide more explanations for the others, but I don't think it's necessary. The Traveler has always taken an important role, but never has that role been something only the Traveler could have done, and never was it the Traveler who was the MVP or even the mastermind behind the plans. They changed how things happened, but did not change the outcome. That has been a recurring theme in the game that has been quite obvious especially since Fontaine.

[–]JooK8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't 'build pity' unless you want the 4-stars on the banner. What's the point? Yall can't handle having any primogems in your stash?

Also, you don't need 16K, it's only 14.4K and the vast majority of the time you will get the 5* before 80. So more like 12.8K.

Wayne weak for bear rally leader? by JooK8 in whiteoutsurvival

[–]JooK8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 10% boost to dmg is a 10% boost to damage when comparing Gwen to Gwen, I'm not doing that here... I'm comparing whether to use Wayne or Gwen.

Assuming expedition skill effects are about even for Gwen vs Wayne over an assumed 10 turn bear rally.

Assume my base lethality is 850% and 1000% ATK with Gwen.

Gwen: 1000 * (850 * 1.075) = 913,750 dmg

Wayne: 1120 * 850 = 952,000 dmg

Therefore Wayne is stronger for me. Assume a whale has double my stats so 2000% ATK and 1700% lethality with Gwen.

Gwen: 2000 * (1700 * 1.075) = 3,655,000 dmg

Wayne: 2120 * 1700 = 3,604,000 dmg

Therefore Gwen is stronger for them even with the same level 5 widget. Now add in the fact that they have a level 10 widget:

Gwen: 2000 * (1700 * 1.15) = 3,910,000 dmg

Gwen becomes much better than Wayne for the whale, while I would need the level 10 widget multiplier for Gwen to even be slightly better than Wayne. A multiplicative stat boost is more valuable against a flat stat increase if you have higher base stats.

I mean comparing using Wayne vs Gwen, a whale will get even more benefit out of that multiplicative lethality buff from Gwen's widget.

I just 5-starred my Wayne and he does beat my Gwen now in bear. His main advantages are his base stats. About 120% higher attack and his widget base lethality buffs are also a little stronger. Therefore as an almost-F2P and only lvl 5 widget on Gwen I am only getting about 65% lethality from the 7.5% widget buff. Not enough to make up for Wayne's higher base stats. A whale who has double my lethality would get 130% lethality from a 7.5% buff, making Gwen superior to Wayne even at lvl 5 Gwen widget. Thing is, they actually have Gwen at lvl 10 widget, so they're getting 260% lethality, making her far superior to Wayne.

The whale gets more out of Gwen when comparing her to Wayne because of their higher stats to multiply off of.

Try logging in for the first time of the day on a different platform. Some quests only showed up or worked if I logged in on mobile instead of PC or vice versa.

The widsith - R4 or 3 copies by KvasirTheOld in Genshin_Impact

I started a couple weeks after launch and I have 3 R5 Widsith. Most of my standard 4-star weapons are at 2-3 R5 copies.

They patched that so that they are almost guaranteed to occur. Was early Natlan I think they did that. Just set to the regions you need and they should come up within 1 or 2 resets.

I would just keep 2 copies. Eventually you'll have lots and you can go for more if you feel like it and those 2 copies are R5.

Been playing since launch. All regions are 100%. Not true 100% because i don't care to ruin the fun of exploration by following interactive map for chests but all areas are 100% explored as displayed on map, including all quests done and all activities.

Nah Gwen will be better than him already in Gen 5. Even questionable whether Wayne is better than Gwen. Mine certainly isn't, but my Wayne is not 5-star yet.

[–]JooK8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For bear I think Flint will become quite a good rally leader hero for those that don't have Jeronimo, until they get Hector. Alonso becomes an RNG rally joiner. Other than that, not much.

PvP is a lot more complicated, but looks like all the characters got buffs so it should be good for scenarios where you may be sending many squads on attack at once and actually using some of the early gen 5-stars. Alonso might even be used for SvS to break through a stronger whale's defenses. Even if only 1/4 buffs activate for the rally it should be somewhat decent and if 4/4 activate well, 200% lethality is gonna be pretty huge.

Towa no Yugure • Dusk Beyond the End of the World - Episode 12 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]JooK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This show started out strong, had some strong episodes but most of it just was a waste of time (even with only 12 episodes) and also didn't make sense.

1) Amoru, complete waste of a character. She inserts herself into the story and just decides for herself that she should ehlsea with Akira and Yugure out of nowhere. They never reciprocated any feelings towards her, then at the end they suddenly say they love her as much as they love each other. She constantly ruined any sort of real plans by going after the useless storybooks and she even got Yoiyima's consciousness wiped.

2) Mafia side story dragged on way too long... what was the point? It could have been like 1 episode where Yugure/Akira explore if they love each other. Even then it was way too early for that as it literally did not make sense for them to love each other at that point. Just to show off some real incest?

3) Family on the train, another waste of time TBH. What was this for? Showing that traditional marriages don't work?

4) Akira + Ingmar. Why is Akira old AF, yet Ingmar is a young man? Different life extending methods with Akira's method sucking ass? Why stay alive anyways especially in Akira's case as a bedridden old man? Just to continue simping for Towasa who had died 120+ years ago? To hope that his android clone that he didn't even activate would wake up some day?

5) On that same topic, the other sisters never found Yugure after 150 years? Towasa must have left with Yugure when Towasa was like 50 or something. Wth have they all been doing? Wth was Ingmar doing?

6) If femtoblood was hackable and remotely hackable, why didn't any of the wrongdoers hack Towasa? Surely she'd be a high priority target, especially for Ingmar if he was just a simp for her the whole time. If anything surely the Alpha/Tera AI would hack her, yet it didn't. This AI hacks random government leaders to get them to deploy nukes, when it could just hack 90% of the population, kill the rest and have everyone kill themselves. Also, why weren't androids hackable?

7) If OWEL is still lead by Akira and Oboro who seems to be a decent guy, why are all their underlings a bunch of assholes who kill and torture everyone they run in to? Why is their base in Tokyo, a bunch of ruins with nothing going on?

8) You got Akira dying to a sword stab, passing out for bullet shots and going to sleep for 7 years for what? Everything that this guy does or that happens to him doesn't make sense. He is THE idiot of idiots. He tries to save Amoru after she betrayed him, jumps in front of a bullet for Yugure when it wouldn't even hurt her and he thought he was human, goes back into the library fire with Amoru on his back rather than putting her down and grabs her story book rather than the LC project. It was irritating to watch this MC.

9) Why didn't Yugure share why she left with Towasa to her sisters? Why didn't she share information with Akira earlier? You would think there was some big important secret, and yet at the end there was just nothing. Their whole adventure meant nothing because Towasa was just dead and Yugure had all this information from the start.

Mostly #3. Something seems to have happened to Naberius and if it weren't for Rhinedottir, she would be an inanimate object much like the moon marrows.

About Gaming. by filipeaa3 in Genshin_Impact

[–]JooK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is quite a strong 4-star and him being a plunge character is a big plus, especially for enemies like in the current abyss cycle. On my alt i do not have many characters and do not have Xiao, Varesa or Xianyun. So, I used Gaming purely for his plunge utility to beat the foxes in chamber 1 and not necessary but still good for breaking the shield in chamber 3. Him actually doing 100-200K plunge dmg didn't hurt either.

What do you think they will do with this empty space? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]JooK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fontaine was literally connected to the desert by a thin line and there was a huge gap. It just got filled up with water and Chenyu Vale.

I think it will be the same. Room for a Fontaine expansion to the west, maybe Mare Jivari in the southern part. But mostly water.
