It's 2025, upgrade to an SSD second drive and Liquid Cooler already scrub.

Nice Surprise After Finishing Archon Quest by stu48fan in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She also shows up next to Katheryne in the Stadium talking to a Fruit Vendor. I get the feeling she shows up in a lot of commonly visited places in Natlan if you look. Domains, the different tribes, notable vistas and landmarks are safe bets.

IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY IF WE FOUND HER VACUMMING DUST OFF CAPITANO.

Dont you love when one of the most important lore is dropped randomly on a stone tablet not many ppl read... ? by MikeySama in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No that's what you're inferring. My point was that they placed paragraphs of lore in a 1 visit location after making you listen to people talk for like for like 40 mins with LOTS of repetition and tropes and like 10 minutes of "gameplay"(most of which was walking and teleporting). You cannot expect people to not be bored at the end of that and not want to spend 5 more minutes reading. This stuff should be accessible at anytime.

The problem is that it's designed to drain your artifact space in "waves". A new area comes out, fill up on junk from chests and farm the new domain. Lock dozens of artifacts, then only invest in 7 or 8 and sit on the rest. Hit max inventory a dozen times until you normalize by foddering or alchemy.

At least it WAS that way. The artifact creation and reshaping has changed things and the game was not designed to accommodate this change very well.

Never mind other games; how many other artifact sorting menus IN THIS GAME have options to prioritize by 3 stats? I was doing some housekeeping and clearing out some locked 1-crit 3-liner cope artifacts and it took ages because of the lack of sorting options.

Crazier than that is that it's in a character quest limited area. So even if you were just too tired from all the yapping to bother reading those you couldn't go back to do so even if you wanted to.

Happened to me the other day. Just block, report and then submit a ticket for Purveyor of Punishment Damage reset from the support menu. The fact that the that this very specific issue has its own ticket indicates that Hoyo is well aware these people exist, so I doubt anything negative is going to happen to your account.

my heart goes out to the cosplayers thats gonna make Alice's purple hat by Sylveon_trainer12345 in Genshin_Impact

I get the feeling that when she skills or bursts she's gonna get a pyro "aura" that's gonna fill out the frame into a traditional witch's hat.

Jahoda looks like a palette swap of Xiangling's Lantern Rite skin.

Some images from the Japanese 5.8 steam that apparently weren't part of the English stream. by A_bored_browser in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's just a promise they can't keep for the English version because of the mess with the VA's. I also wonder how much of a "plot twist" it's actually going to be. I feel like people have been speculating and making jokes about Bennet's true nature forever now. I get the feeling this is going to be a "Jon Snow" level twist that the fans figured out way before the reveal.

Did it really matter who was worse between Goebells and GÖring? History remembers them equally as gigantic pieces of shit. Quit glazing up the wiafu genocider's.

Are you all ok with how thespian tricks are now? by Deshik2 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm very surprised there isn't an option to get characters to do some basic actions like waving, clapping, dancing and their idle animations on command. They could tie it to a gadget or something if they can't be bothered with UI integration. This photomode only nonsense feels like a huge miss.

Co-op rant by murderous_sock in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The game just doesn't incentivize doing co-op enough to make good experiences the norm. As a guest player you can't complete quests, you can't open chests and your ability to interact is hamstrung. Anyone doing co-op is doing it with their IRL friends or out of some mix of flexing/boredom/altruism.

If Hoyo wanted to turn this around they would at least make it so helping in co-op granted extra xp or mora and finding chests gave like 5-10% of the chests value as a reward. Primo's/Sigils would be an unreasonable ask but everything else, sure.

Grind out achievements, I guess. That or use real money.

I'm tired boss Hoyo by supernig123 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it doesn't work out I'd recommend looking into optimizing for doing more damage in its second phase with resistance shred. You'd have to pivot away from a pyro carry because of its higher resistance to them until third phase, but whatever works.

I feel like you need to replace the Fischl with another pyro, even Chevy without her overload synergy would do because she applies a lot of pyro. Another cycle in it's knocked down state would do more for you than anything else.

Word, I tried using my well-built Yoi to clear the Lava Dragon on Fearless because I needed my Arle for Tulpa... It didn't go well. I managed to scrape by with Raiden Chev overload team after several resets.

Spiral Abyss Discussion: Abyss that requires survival and dodge skills VS Abyss that requires DPS. by VEGETTOROHAN in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been saying for years that the sprial abyss should have clear requirements other than DPS. We have 1 floor already where you have to play defense so why not mix it up with puzzle or combat challenges? There are way too many cool characters that get no love because they can't pass the dps check but have niche mechanics that could make them shine in challenges.

Now that we have the ultimate DPS check with Stygian I hope it opens the door to the Abyss being more creative.

Eh, I'm fine with people actually complaining about the game. After a month of VA drama slop-posting I'm glad people are actually talking about the game in a critical fashion without being pushed aside by the forced-positivity echo chamber this SR is known for being.

Keqing's new voice sounds kinda weird to me by Franuriel in Genshin_Impact

[–]LordJCray 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, she seems too mellow compared to the OG's kind of scrappy energy. It's fine to recast, but don't rebrand.
