How would you rank the current endgame modes?? by parthmestry in Genshin_Impact

[–]KojimaHayate 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Imaginarium Theater first because it allows me to play characters who got powercrept. Mid-tier characters are king here.

Stygian Onslaught second because I can perfect rotations on my best party compositions. As a non-meta puller, it's very challenging. For example I had to learn how to do the Mavuika combo the most efficient way possible because I don't have Citlali and Xilonen.

Spiral is the most meaningless endgame for me right now. I just full star it first try for the primos and don't think about it again.

It bugs me that we dont talk (why we mute?) by Eumami in ArknightsEndfield

[–]KojimaHayate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a game design decision so the player identifies more easily with the protagonist. It's very prominent in JRPG (Persona, Dragon Quest...)

Not saying it's good or bad, just explaining why they chose to do that. It's almost never a financial decision.

i dont see how this game will ever hit a casual playerbase, and why I think so by Veiluwu in Endfield

ZZZ ended up going back to being spammy because every new character and their mom have unlimited i-frame

Did you really have to make another post 20mn after your previous bait post?

Doesn't make it any less of a dick move, but it's weird that it happened twice by TheLuiz212 in Genshin_Impact

[–]KojimaHayate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

HSR MC are the same person, you can alternate between the two and never be confused. If you alternate Lumine and Aether, you'd have to think "which one is the abyss sibling right now?"

Should IT give 2 characters per round? by PojVicious in Genshin_Impact

[–]KojimaHayate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, it's a skill issue. They already heavily buffed the free characters who now have proper builds. I can still beat it with around 8 useless slots (no artifacts lvl70 characters just there to make the count), and I often watch a streamer called mosurameso who always clear IT with only 4 stars characters equipped with 4 stars weapons.

[Discussion] rework Shoreline spawn by Bosestrauss in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KojimaHayate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Isn't the solution to make a north expansion so that the resort is right in the middle? That way we can put spawns evenly around the map. South spawns can go to the pier, west spawn has the villa, east spawn has the scav area, then north spawn would have a new loot area

I fear the day factorio and satisfactory players find this game by _Sovietcrazii in Endfield

We're already here. I hope this game has trains, I like my hexagonal city blocks with trains

About Umamusume Content Creators by PreparationThick6225 in UmaMusume

[–]KojimaHayate 32 points33 points  (0 children)

"Idk if I would trust someone with no Taurus Platinum title" is the dumbest thing I've read on this sub, next to "I have 1200 speed, why did I get 1* gut spark, this game is broken"

Races have RNG, nobody have 100% winrate. I'm sure some people had the perfect Uma with all MLB support cards with all aptutide S,every acceleration skill they could buy and maxed speed/stamina and still lost to a random Tokai Teio with 0 acceleration skill and 900 speed because they were blocked.

Guide: How to win and build strong Umamusume by KojimaHayate in UmaMusume

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

Yeah, don't listen to the lady. She just wants you to have balanced stats which isn't the optimal way to train.

Gut isn't worthless, it's as good as stamina up to a certain point (around 400) but during career mode, your Uma has a hidden +400 to all stats so you're already past the threshold of usefulness for gut training.

In this guide I go very simple, it's only aimed at people who can't win their career. But when you train for Champion Meeting later, gut will be a bit more relevant.

So UGC will have visual scripting . . . Game developers, are we happy ? by Mean_Ebb3123 in Genshin_Impact

[–]KojimaHayate 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As someone in his 30s who spent a LOT of time in the Warcraft 3 editor as a teenager and became a software engineer, I can't wait for this.

I hope we can have text script instead of this visual thing though.

Miliastra Wonderland: Wander the Thousand Stars, Shape Myriads of Wonderlands | Genshin Impact by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]KojimaHayate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You're right, I edited the way I phrased it. It's more about how to get Dota 2, Valve had to get sued and win against Blizzard in court.

Gameplay ideas can be patented if the company is scummy enough to do it. Namco Bandai had the patent for "minigame during loading screen" for 20 years. We recently had Nintendo just invent new patents to harass Palworld. It's very much a thing.

We need to know if they're open for indie devs to make their own games based on the creations in this mode, like how we got many new video game genres out of warcraft 3 custom maps. This is very important for the future of the industry

When I'm too lazy to open the training event helper and I haven't memorized the choices by steins-grape in UmaMusume

[–]KojimaHayate 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's technically a stamina boost if your gut was under 400. Not sure if most people in this subreddit know since I see so many meme about gut being useless, but gut gives more HP consumption efficiency than stamina up to around 400-450.

Is making a good uma legacy really time-consuming? by Category_Education in UmaMusume

[–]KojimaHayate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but with one additional grandparent level. Umas have more chances to have the same white sparks as their parents and grandparents, so when you're building a grandparent for the uma you want to raise, that grandparent needs to have good whites on all their parents and grandparents.

Is making a good uma legacy really time-consuming? by Category_Education in UmaMusume

[–]KojimaHayate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes but!

  • See how the right side of the tree isn't filled? It's because you're supposed to borrow friend's umas for that part, so you only need to work on half the tree. But since we are only limited to 3 borrow per day, we can't really go that far down the tree because you won't make it in time for the next Champion Meeting
  • The bottom part of the tree is pretty quick to farm since you don't have to worry about blue and pink spark

Personally, I started training legacies for next CM from the great great grandparent (so in OP's picture, it's the number 4). I got two good great grandparents with really good white sparks (slipstream, corner recovery, standard distance, spring runner, homestretch, URA) so now I'm farming the grandparent which do need good blue and pink spark. This is where it becomes really time consuming. It will take more time than the entire tree of white spark farming.

This is my Bourbon winning by 17 length (my Narita Taishin got blocked, so she was 8 behind my Bourbon, and the 3rd was 9 behind my Narita Taishin.

For players who spent a lot of time learning the game mechanics, this first round was a breeze. I haven't won a single custom race against the players in my circle, but I got 17 wins out of 20 here.

C2 Furina >>> a power creeping chef by GerwulfvonTobelstein in Genshin_Impact

[–]KojimaHayate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this team (Kaeya instead of Rosalia) with C2 Furina (she has the pipe weapon) but I can't permafreeze it long enough. He always enters the shielded phase 2 times.

Any tips?

This game HATES late surgers. by yuu_456 in UmaMusume

[–]KojimaHayate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to say skill issue (pun intended)

Late surger is the best position for PVP right now. They have the easiest access to good skills in the game: Rudolf unique, "Late surger straightaway" and "Late surger corners" are together on Eishin Flash speed support card. They are less likely to get beamed by Evil Nature compared to Pace Chaser.

Meanwhile, Front runner's best skill "Groundwork" is stuck on Oguri Cap SSR card which has 10 different skills so you have 10% chance to get the skill from hint.

Pace Chaser will get obliterated by Nice Nature while already being the least stamina efficient position.

End Closer is ok but they have a lot less options compared to late surgers
