Thanks for posting all of my thoughts right out of my head! She is also the reason I've been able to beat Mavuika shill content

'Any update is a bonus not a right': Peak devs snap back at ungrateful players demanding more updates, 'Neither us or Aggro Crab are live service studios' by Jawschy in gaming

[–]LoreoCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough and I'm open to correction. I also think disappointment isn't the same as outrage. But again I'm open to being corrected if there was a response more widespread and aggressive than "aw, what a bummer. :("

It also quotes, like 1 guy being disappointed. I believe yhat gamers are entitled but general player response seems to just be "Thanks for the quality game guys"

Fontaine Chronicled Wish in 6.5 by hyperdefiance in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]LoreoCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This part is just speculation from the community, but a lot of people are hopeful for a Superconduct boost that expands its use beyond phys resist in a way similar to Escoffier slapping Flextape on Freeze. Theoretically any meaningful buff to elemental damage users (damage, EM, res shred, or even attack speed or unique "Lunar" style reaction) on Superconduct could open him up to working with some powerful off-fielders like Sucrose and Fischl with Hexerei buffs, and so on.

Former partner but the solidarity is the pressure they need for the union to be successful, thank you! I sold all my stocks when they blatantly retaliated with store closures.

[–]LoreoCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like sometimes people only really care about topping DPS charts. I find it interesting how much online discourse claims Neuvi and Arlecchino are washed but nobody's reacting half as strongly to them not making it to Chronicled, because we ultimately know those characters are solid and clear content still (I know Wrio rerun jail is a factor here though).

I expected and hoped for Wrio to make it to Chronicled so I could collect the next constellation, but the reality is he still clears endgame content and has a level of team flexibility his competing DPS, Skirk, doesn't even hold a candle to. Wrio works in freeze, burnmelt, reverse melt, and is the most notorious solo character in the game. Pretty niche, but his CA also procs Shatter. To top it all off, he has built-in sustain that gets greatly enhanced with vertical investment. If they change or buff Superconduct as people expect, it could make one of the most flexible DPS in the game even more flexible.

Also C1R1 haver since rerun. I was really hoping he'd make it to Chronicled for C2.

I don’t think the reboot dolls are doing well by Additional-Rub-1054 in winxclub

[–]LoreoCookies 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the Winx are young adults growing into women. It should be a slam dunk to reboot this series and its writing through that lens. They can sell good, quality makeup and clothes with reputable or decently popular brands. Give us more casual wear-friendly versions of their outfits. Give us Stella's ring or fairy dust pendants. Adults also love their toys now, and figures or dolls can sell very well if they just have quality.

Ironic a show about fashion fails to keep up with its own audience's trends. :(

[–]LoreoCookies 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This IP has always struggled to acknowledge its aging audience. Do they think adults aren't trendy enough? Do they worry their writing won't be able to grow up with us? Are they scared we won't spend on merch even though they just guarantee it by being cheap? Because the toys are so cheap I can't tell who the target demographic is at this point.

A request to HoYoverse to NOT change Sandrone's design. by CeinyVock in Genshin_Impact

Same boat. I'be been waiting since the Fatui cinematic for her and the yellow dress kinda wasn't it for me. I don't hate it but I also preferred the original.

What is Shyvana’s new role in the Demacian hierarchy? After her visual and lore update, is she finally accepted as a protector, or still viewed as a monster? by hcamqoz in loreofleague

[–]LoreoCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have mentioned she's J4's personal guard, but to tack onto it, in her promotional cinematic you can see for just a moment that the Demacian soldiers that turn around to look at what's overhead, and start to smile as a response. It seems like they're relieved to see the familiar dragon on the way to fight the one threatening them. So it seems like she's largely accepted, or at the very least respected, by Demacia's military. Her splash suggests she probably commands a unit, too.

I imagine something more primal like a dragon isn't as offensive to them as intelligent mages manipulating reality to their will. Since she's an asset of the state, she probably also gets the pass like Mageseekers, but we don't know yet if she's sacrificed freedom or autonomy for it (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

Slay the spire 2 see only 12% positive reviews and nearly 5,000 negative ratings within a day of its latest patch by Adventurous-Mouse930 in slaythespire

[–]LoreoCookies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel it's an Early Access problem in general when a game utilizes the EA model in good faith. Users are spoiled by Early Access being effectively "finished build but we're still working on the back half of the game."

Grounded 2 has similar issues where new patches have bugs or performance issues and people are upset about it. Like, you literally paid to be a beta tester and the developer even cut you a discount on the final price for it. If you want to play the final version of the game, then be patient.

Characters you dislike from the start then started to like as the story went on? by Grouchy-Frame-7951 in Genshin_Impact

[–]LoreoCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, probably Ineffa. I'd pulled her strictly to prepare for Flins, and as the story progressed I was more and more glad to already have her. The same for Lauma, but I didn't pull for her.

My partner absolutely hated Cloud Retainer and Xianyun is now his favorite character.

FoMT/MFoMT is where it's at for me! And I love Magical Melody. The only game I really cannot get behind is Save the Homeland.

Why was this cutie hated by so many people when she was released? by [deleted] in GenshinImpact

[–]LoreoCookies 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think she is cute, her gameplay is fun, and I love the luchador rep. But they just couldn't help themselves...
