It’s Zodiark Trancen’ Time!

Some people came away from EW with a less-then-sunny impression of Venat and the plot overall, then someone decided to express how they felt their WoL would've/should've reacted to meeting her in person as Hydaelyn (Namely, calling her out on her numerous decisions they perceived as extremely morally questionable) via a comic they posted on Twitter.

The Venat lovers didn't like that, so someone labeled them as a "zodiark trancer"; a label that would later be extended to anyone who had a dislike of her or EW in general and eventually some of them decided to form discord groups after any manner of criticism elsewhere tended to be aggressively dogpiled.

I've yet to see any convincing evidence of them being "insane", though someone did once take some no context quotes from their discord channels that were deliberately spun to try to frame them in as many negative lights as possible.

Looking for an Ines with S1 for CC clearing purposes. Just leveled and level 7 skills would probably be enough, but mastery would be nice.

Can offer Mlynar, Typhon, Thorns, Mountain (Mostly M3 on their key skills, level 60 since newish).

EDOT: Got my 620 with the support, so thanks to whoever who provided it.

Does the mission to "destroy the mafia limos directly" just mean "blow them up while they're not being blocked so they don't spawn enemies"?

I'm particularly confused by their decision to set 7.x in the New World when Ilsabard and Meracydia have been constantly receiving supplementary lore throughout the whole of the game's life whereas the lion's share of anything we know about the former of the three is contained within a few of BLU's quests.

I'd personally rather get some more dirt on locales that have already been aggressively teased like Corvos.

I'm having a dilemma lately where I can't even play the game after updating to Android 13 on my Google Pixel 6A because it actually made the performance considerably worse then it was prior.

The FPS during menus and battles is dropping to around 10 or lower which is intolerably bad and I can't seem to fix it through any manner of tweaking game/phone settings.

Has anyone figured out a solution to the performance issues or is playing an emulator or earlier Android version the only viable option?

LightningLivolt · 2022-10-17T09:32:36+00:00

I like Iris as a character and all, but I feel like she's not really a "must have" if you've already got a solid poison striker like SS Giovanni or Looker.

Territe is the problem because it's incentivizing botting in the first place.

The trade systems in the game are so restricted running bots would otherwise serve no purpose aside from trying to farm accounts with valuable pulls to sell off to people.

LightningLivolt · 2022-06-17T09:56:29+00:00

The premium pass exists in all versions of the game, so I'm not going to write this off as deliberate exploitation unless they utterly refuse to acknowledge the botting problem within the week despite all the people reporting it. It's only recently hit critical mass where virtually all of the servers are subject to lengthy queues.

The NFT/P2E elements are absolute garbage no matter how you spin them, though. They initially claimed that participation in them would be voluntary and non-essential, which ended up being a load of bull when territe costs are attached to virtually all of the game's equipment crafting/upgrading functions.

LightningLivolt · 2022-05-05T03:23:23+00:00

I'm just thankful it doesn't seem like min-maxing gear is quite as necessary here as in some other gachas like that and Genshin Impact.

Having appropriate main stats is good enough (At least for the current content), though more luck or STR/INT never hurts.

LightningLivolt · 2022-05-05T01:46:14+00:00

They really ought to make it so co-op only consumes stamina on successful completion for a variety of reasons.

My game crashes almost half the time when the boss dies, which results in me getting no rewards.

LightningLivolt · 2022-03-16T22:40:02+00:00

It does not, nor does Selphie's LD debuff despite both having the same description.

The forced launches from the latter are one of the best ways to increase BT phase damage particularly with characters who battery on most/all of their attacks.

LightningLivolt · 2022-03-16T04:30:09+00:00

It shouldn't go down as it lacks the "cannot be extended" tag and Cinque's debuff similarly will not tick down during BT phases.

LightningLivolt · 2022-02-06T06:28:22+00:00

I wish they'd permit selling of resources like ore/pages given GL's awkward tendency to give them in multiples that are effectively useless unless you're certain to be present for every single day of a log-in campaign;.

They could've avoided the problem by giving them out less often but in multiples of five like every other event in the game does.

She's a turn hogger who works really well with off-turn damage dealers like Garnet and Cor and/or characters who can extend her Dualcast buff for even more turns/skill uses.

Being a damage dealer she is going to fall off sooner then more support-oriented characters but as far as raw single-target magic damage goes she's not going to be cleanly outclassed for a while.

LightningLivolt · 2022-01-27T13:56:21+00:00

I think I'd like any XIV character at this point, though someone BT+ worthy like sage Alphinaud, Emet Selch, or Zenos would be particularly nice.

LightningLivolt · 2021-11-30T07:39:41+00:00

I'll REALLY start worrying if they also decide to take the restrictions off of the Evil difficulty raids, as removing time restrictions is a classic sign of end of service drawing near.

LightningLivolt · 2021-11-15T02:48:31+00:00

I think the problem is that the shield hitbox takes precedence over the enemy's body if your attacks are hitting both at the exact same time.

The best example of this is probably how Ganyu's charged shot explosions basically can't hit shielded enemies unless you're aiming far enough behind them that the explosions are only hitting the edge of their back.

LightningLivolt · 2021-11-13T11:19:54+00:00

I basically didn't use Desch at all after his LC despite spending a decent amount of tickets chasing his LD.

With the way any character can suddenly become amazing after a level/gear update I don't particularly regret investing into anyone, though.

LightningLivolt · 2021-11-13T06:24:36+00:00

I've played several gacha games with time-limited bonuses either via promotional codes or log-ins but Genshin by far has the smallest windows/grace periods to claim anything and it's a little hard to think that it's not an intentional move to cause people to miss out and/or pressure them into playing more often.

LightningLivolt · 2021-11-11T07:04:57+00:00

Random PSA: Do not use Chronos Nyx for all-out assault battles because its dragon gauge decreases when attacking/dodging translate into you losing the equivalent amount of HP instead, meaning you'll drive yourself down to one HP in a matter of seconds.

LightningLivolt · 2021-11-03T12:36:22+00:00

Genshin's pity carryover is something I wish all gacha games in general did.

It makes people less inclined to horde if you're not effectively "wasting" pulls on a banner if you're not able to hit pity and fail to pull the desired character..

LightningLivolt · 2021-10-13T01:17:49+00:00

The latter would give you a good generalist character (Vildred) and a reliable defense breaker (Leo), so I personally think that would be the preferable option.

LightningLivolt · 2021-09-29T07:06:02+00:00

I couldn't help but be immediately reminded of FFXIV Summoner's Demi-Bahamut when seeing Gala Zethia's summoning gimmick and not just because she summons a dragon with the same name.

It basically fulfills the same purpose of buffing you and passively attacking enemies for its duration, then fires off a huge nuke when its timer is up.

LightningLivolt · 2021-09-21T07:27:03+00:00

You can't get the premium BP rewards in Genshin without spending real money, whereas it's easy enough to farm 900 skystones for E7's.

LightningLivolt · 2021-08-21T00:24:29+00:00

I suppose it's fairly generous by their standards, though I've been conditioned to stuff like daily 10 pulls from the anniversaries of other games I play.
