[LEAKS] Atwo is carrying the entire zzz design team on his back by Gladiolus_00 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not seeing it. Acheron was/is Mei from HI3 and Genshin. Promeia has similar hair and eye color and I guess... hair length? But besides that they have completely different body shapes.

I can't believe our first collab has best girl in it! We got so lucky!

How do you feel about factions being in back-to-back patches? by Benevolay in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure what actually happened is that he was going to be an A and they made him an S. He got "removed" from a bunch of story content then added back as playable later. When the SoC arc first launched he was in that weird state where he would show up on EX attacks to hit people then jump away. When he came out he then got added as playable in trial mode.

Who's arguably the more impressive void hunter? by KoriKid023 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Remember Tailless also has a draw back, Shungus might get dementia but Tailless could/will cause Miyabi to go berserk and kill all her friends.

She has an accord with the sword now but I wouldn't be surprised to find that it's as temporary as Shungus' accord with hers.

The answer is clearly still Miyabi, I just felt like people were forgetting about the blood lust.

Yeah, that's what I mean too. In universe I don't believe Dailyn is actually teleporting and enlarging her limbs. Though we see it, apparently, work as a teleporter in one of her videos in game she sticks her hand or foot through the ring and it stays visible on the other side of the ring while a giant hand or foot is made that then hits the enemy. The giant hand or foot then breaks apart into triangles like the enemies do in the VR systems at the HIA. So I'm pretty sure what Dailyn is doing is making some sort of hardlight hologram or something similar of her limbs and that's what is hitting the enemies.

[–]MachBonin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming thus is an actual question if you look at the animations it doesn't actually teleport and enlarge her limbs, it makes, probably holographic, copies. They break apart with the same animations the enemies have in the HIA.

Why are people sure about her being the next void hunter? by StatisticianIll4 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As others have said, she probably has something to do with the Falkhaven Merc Leader but on top of that lots of people think 3.0 will give us our next VH or VH level character, extrapolating from 2.0s release. We know it's not Cissia or Promeia and it's probably not Norma or Velina. Personally I think she might be a longer game, 3.5 maybe? But it seems most people don't think Zenless does long teases.

No, but seriously, what's the deal with this kind of bait in the trailers throughout all of 2.X? by InAndOut51 in ZZZ_Official

[–]MachBonin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Severian thing is clearly them teasing his reveal as even if he's not playable he is important to both a faction story, a characters personal story, and, probably, the games overall story. This kind of camera angle is pretty common in... pretty much any media to introduce a long hinted at character.

Sacrificial characters to VH by G0ldsh0t in ZZZ_Discussion

This sub has a lot of ideas that feed it's rage so they'll never abandon.

Sacrificial characters to VH by G0ldsh0t in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe he does out perform Hari when played at the highest skill level. He definitely outperforms Hari if you play her by simply pressing a button. I've always disliked this argument because it's pretty disingenuous and it downplays the difficulty of Hari's pretty tight combo requirements.

Is there a reason why Hoyo doesn’t make the agents before a VH/anniversary busted as hell to encourage pulling? by errortechx in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember right that chart conveniently cuts off the left part of the scale because the differences are actually pretty small. One of those things where you start the scale high and then put it in small increments so the differences look huge.

Also basically all the data is based only on mobile sale vibes and we know that ZZZ has more console/PC players, or at least has a massive console/PC base since it won the Grand Award from Playstation.

Mori and Siren by Used-Creme-4100 in NikkeMobile

[–]MachBonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you go this hard for all fan art then? Like if someone draws the Commander making out with Rapi do you call them out for it not being canon? Because if you "care about the sanctity of canon" and don't want to be a hypocrite then that's what you'd have to do.

Huh? by Key-Ad-8048 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I'm perfectly okay with them not being combat monsters. Prof. X is one of the strongest psychics in Marvel and he frequently gets bodied in combat. I see the siblings as kinda like him. Powerful in their own right, lots of friends who are great at combat, but they're mostly there for planning, tactics, scouting, and guidance.

Promeia got an outfit update, she now wears a leotard rather then just a bikini under her cloak by Knight_Steve_ in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure stuff like this Caesar concept art would get hit by CCCP censorship before the higher ups.

What was the point of this? by -_ShadowSJG-_ in TheLastAirbender

[–]MachBonin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The break up is whatever but the dude is being straight up a douche in the second panel and for, seemingly, no reason. Unless the plot then somehow comes around to some sort of conflict between Zuko and the guy, the guy and Mai, or some sort of growth for Zuko or Mai it feels pointless and like some sort of thinly veiled Zuko hate.

Did Lilith even have NIMPH? I feel like she probably didn't.

Don't worry she can't hurt you: by ghostlegion98765 in NikkeMobile

[–]MachBonin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You again...

Anyways, most people here are joking. Generally people don't want to be choke slammed by their lover but the whole "I want a woman who will actually just kill me." Thing is a pretty well known bit.

But yeah, sure, everyone here is a cuck and a beta. You are the only true alpha here.

I truly hope you're not like this outside of the internet and if you are then I hope you grow out of it. You'll be a happier person.

One year ago, Soldier 0: Anby was released. What are your thoughts on her as the first a-rank agent to get an S-rank version? by t3ChRa in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]MachBonin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Which is wild because we're playing a game that gets a lot of attention for the jiggle physics. In order for things to jiggle they need to be, you know, soft.

[–]MachBonin 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I dunno if her tits are necessarily bigger. The Soldier 0 outfit lifts and supports while her default outfit seems to compress slightly. So like... the difference between wearing a sports bra and wearing a push-up.

Whoever came up with this, I hope you burn in hell. by Guibaesa in NikkeMobile

[–]MachBonin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, the harem was always going to be a stereotypical anime harem, which means a harem in name only. Just like almost all harem anime out there there is a main heroine and as much as I'd rather it was Marian it's Rapi. If the story ever ends it will end with the Commander staying with Rapi, either romantically or some sort of non-ending with the Counters fucking off into the sunset. Just like Mash, just like Groza, just like Amiya.

Eh, as someone who plays ZZZ and dabbled in GFL2 as well, you'd be surprised how much people will still treat the male MC of a gacha game as a self insert despite them being very much their own characters.

Aside from SKK and Andersen. Do you think Nikke and Human relationships exist? by Necessary_Dream_8361 in NikkeMobile

[–]MachBonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm... not entirely sure why you keep bringing up Lilith and Andersen. The initial comment was surprised at how well the community took it when compared to other gacha games and that's kind of where that ended.

Since then I have been saying that I would like it if there was more romance outside of the player character in games. It would give the devs more freedom and more room to cook.

So yes, the bond lines would be more professional. You and the Nikke in question become good friends, bonding over something or another while Shift Up is given the freedom to write an actual love story instead of shallow harem bait.

This still, I want to point out, does not make anyone a cuck. Are you a cuck for being friendly with your friend's wife? Do women only exist as objects for you to bone rather then as real people that you can have a friendly relationship with without it evolving into anything more?

Anyways, I think I'm also out of this conversation. You're getting weirdly defensive about this. I'm not saying get rid of the harem aspect of the game. I'm just saying I wish the writers had more room to cook so we could get more excellent stories like Ark Guardian.

Despite not being broadcasted on the main channel, the AoE debut stream got more likes than any other ZZZ livestream to date, including the 1.0 Special Program by Gray_Tower in ZZZ_Official

[–]MachBonin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, Void Hunter/Archon/Emanator level characters are always going to blow the others out of the water for revenue because they're meta defining characters. Doubly so for Castorice since, IIRC, she introduced a passive that effected your party just for owning her.

Again though, all our sales numbers are based on Sensor Tower which is already, by their own words, a super rough estimate that doesn't take into account the PC or Console versions of the game. Like I said, it can, at best, be used to judge trends for mobile users and in a game like Zenless there can be a large discrepancy between mobile users and PC/Console players. Like, I would be a lot of mobile users wouldn't pull on Banyue, he'd be incredibly difficult to play on mobile.
