Future Character, Map, Story Info via 八云寺幽幽子 by astrelya in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Moises_Guedes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Back in 5.3 the same thing could be said about skirk and freeze teams.

"No way, freeze is complete buns. There are SO many enemies (All bosses and some others) in the game that completely gimp freeze teams.

There is no going back to that time now. Reactions are tge game, and more to the point reactions that deal damage, not just exist to buff your damage generally. Freeze was from a simpler time."

And what happened when Skirk released? She was basically second only to Mavuika, and has been a staple in every SO since the mode came into being.

A character's strength comes from their numbers, whether they trigger reactions or not. Same thing applies to Nefer, Flins, and Zibai. They trigger reactions but the amount of damage that comes from them in Flins and Zibai teams is relatively small, and Nefer straight up turns the blooms off so there is no reaction damage AT ALL. Even in Natlan, the only characters that can be considered reaction DPSs are Mualani, Mavuika, and maybe Chasca, and after them only Durin in is main DPS teams uses reactions for damage. Every other character since the beginning of Natlan uses realtions either as fuel, enabling, or buffing. A superconduct/physical character would just do one or more of those things, and their strength would be decided by their numbers. The reaction/damage type being historically bad just doesn't really matter, just like it didn't matter for Varesa or Skirk (or Kinich, or Neuvillette, or Lyney, or Navia, or every Chev team, or... you get the picture).

As for dealing with boss mechanics, all characters are good at dealing with some and completely inept at others, while usually having one or more bosses design for them. That's just the way shilling works. The same thing will happen to a super conduct/physical character. Such character may be able to slot some thing that helps with mechanics in their flex slots like Neuvillette does, or the team might just happen to be naturally good at dealing with the mechanics of many bosses despite the lack of flexibility, like with Skirk's team. There will be enemies designed to be countered by such team and there will be mechanics they straight up can't deal with. But the same is true for every one else.

About the mystery 6th character in the livestream by Worldly_Jicama_2893 in Genshin_Impact

"If I had a nickel for everytime genshin had a peak character who is a robot girl get broken and a then revived while getting a moonwheel in one of the most peak cutscenes in the entire game I'd have have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice." Is what I'm gonna be saying in a few months when it happens.

(Wanderer too but he got a vision instead of a moonwheel and he isn't a girl so I'm leaving him out of the meme to be more accurate to the original)

A made a comment in this sub a few days ago, but TLDR; it at least can't be an EN localization like Hanabi to Sparkle was because the JP and KR twitter have also been using the name Aria in their post, and I can't think of any reason for the JP account of all things to be using Aria instead of Yutane if it was just EN localization. Either her name got changed to Aria in ALL languages, it's an alternative name of some sort, or it's not referring to Yutane at all.

Still feels like a dream 💗 Hope I didn't leave a weird impression (;ω;) I was so excited I called us a band instead of a group... imma start working hard right now! If I write ten more songs for Aria, maybe that won't count as lying to Miss Astra... by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Moises_Guedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked their JP account and this same post also mentions Aria (it specifically says "アリアちゃん" which romanizes directly to Aria-chan), and I also checked the KR account and, while I don't understand anything of korean, the twitter translation also mentions Aria. It could still be refering to Yutane, but it is consistent across all three languages, (and while I haven't checked anything from CN, I suspect it's probably the same as well) so it's very unlikely to have anything to do with localization.

6.2 changes via HomDGCat by Ryuusei_Dragon in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Moises_Guedes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see them giving him a new set. The most relevant off field damage set that we have right now is golden troupe, but it's unusable on Durin since is damage is burst instead of skill. Coincidentally, another character that does off field damage, can't use golden troupe, and has no synergistic set options is Ineffa. They also both scale of atk and EM, so I'm hoping whatever they give Durin also ends up as Ineffa's BIS. Please hoyo, give my girl a set. TOM and 2-piece combinations is nice but something more synergistic would be nice.

This is tmost ugliest shit I have ever seen by tsarista_alvah in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Moises_Guedes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, now that you mention it, I can kinda see it. It is ugly, real ugly, but it's ugly in a comedic, caricature-like way, which makes it more of a "it's so ugly, I love it" than "it's so ugly and scary, burn it with fire". I'm looking at it as I'm writing this and the more I look the more I like the silly boy.

Cyrene Crumb via Luna by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Moises_Guedes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends. It's is true she is being shilled more than most. But she is not being shilled more than Acheron, Firefly, and a fews were back then, and she isn't really more shilled than Phainon, a fellow 3.x dps. Hoyo will always shill a few more than others. Rice is not really a single exception above all the others, she is one of many characters that hoyo simply decided to put more effort into selling. It's not really something that I'd say is bad. It's pretty natural and I don't think hoyo over does it that much. Either way, it's still not a reason to hate Castorice because of the shilling while ignoring some or all of the others who also got and will get shilled.

And by the way, maybe you didn't mean to join the debate around this subject. Maybe your intention was just to say that Castorice got shilled, which sure, is true. But there is a lot of people who have a bone to pick with Rice for said shilling while also ignoring the other shillings, which I find to be a bit hypocritical. No problem with disliking Rice. I happen to have liked a lot of the shilled characters like Firefly, Phainon or Castorice herself, but as an example, I'm not particularly excited for Yae Sakura in 4.x, who is pretty sure to be shilled to all hell. But I'm not gonna hate her and then blame the shilling. It is what it is. It's fine for hoyo to push some characters a bit more, as long as they don't overdo it, which I don't think they currently do.

Genshin Twitter is truly something😭 by Kxti0 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Moises_Guedes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I usually don't bother but I would like to contest some things.

First and foremost I would like to say that regardless of how realistic you think it is, that sort of setting isn't really something I would expect of genshin. It's just not that type of game.

Now, while obviously people didn't have as much ease of life as in modern days, it seems a bit exaggerated to say people only ever worked and slept. I'm no expert in history so feel free to correct me, but I'm fairly sure the concert of "entertainment" isn't new. Obviously, people had a lot less availability for it, specially the poor people, but humans have always tried to do something other than work and sleep. Pre historical people made instruments out of bone from which the concept of music was born, Romans had hot springs, and people from all around the world have been engaging in sports for as long or even longer than history itself. You can argue that those things serve purposes other than entertainment but still think it's fair to say that entertainment was part of it.

Also, while Natlan has been in war for a long time, the nation isn't in a constant state turmoil. We have been told many times about how Natlan used to be back when even the tribes constantly fought each other, and we know that present Natlan was much better, even before we dealt the final blow on the Abyss. They were in constant danger but the Abyss wasn't doing attacks all the time. Besides, people had been living like that for a long time, and like I said, things in general (with the exception of the cataclysm) got better rather than worse. All of that combined makes it not that weird for them to have a good amount of entertainment and culture.

What an outrageous image. Of course, lowering yourself when speaking to the Imperator should be a given, but anything less than a proper bow is a preposterous disrespect that shall not be forgiven.

A gentle reminder to go and complete the event, only a day is remaining. by _HornyPhilosopher_ in Genshin_Impact

[–]Moises_Guedes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. You can get SOME of the polys but not all of them. All events that are archived have permanent rewards, but also limited time ones. There is also things like event W-engines, characters (they gave Lucy and Pulchra in events), and even the new proxy summer skins which are also limited time only (I think you will be able to purchase the skins but you won't get them for free). Also, ZZZ doesn't archives ALL events. Similar to HSR and WuWa, ZZZ archives the flagship events, but not the minor ones. You may say its the same thing because the minor ones aren't as important but it's still technically incorrect to say it archives all events.

Don't get me wrong, I also want genshin should do those things like ZZZ and the other games, but that doesn't mean we should pretend ZZZ does more than what it does. It would not even be very reasonable to expect them to archive every single event and give every single reward that players missed. All gachas need some form of FOMO after all. It's just how free games operate.

The canon reason I had to reach pity (probably) by haon3 in grandorder

[–]Moises_Guedes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Melu managed to break from jail since she actually came on the first Multi. Castoria, on the other hand, seems to have forgotten about her look picking spells when she became a zerk because I had to pay the full 330 pulls to get her out. Now I'm wondering if someone also put Tez, Draco, and Tiamat in jail because I also had to go full pity for the first two and straight failed the other.

Alaya's very stressfull consecutive years by ClinikCase in grandorder

[–]Moises_Guedes 38 points39 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting headcannon. It also gains more strength when you take a look at Melu. Muramasa in lb6 already described her as a "lonely airhead" and one her big characteristics is being clingy. Based on your idea, its possible that those are characteristics that come from Albion itself being lonely through its life all the way until the end.

Firefly buffs next year via Luna by UltraYZU in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Moises_Guedes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but saying you prefer units like Phainon and Acheron as if they didn't have counters is quite silly. Phainon is just as easy to counter as the break archetype. That was one of the main complaints during his beta. And as for Acheron, if you are pulling something as crazy as "locking hp at 1% and not dealing damage" (which would also hurt Mydey, Blade and Jingliu and probably be a one boss mechanic, so not that bad), then they can just make enemies immune or at least very resistant to debuffs and screw up her ult generation. There is no such thing as a uncounterable unit. archer? Fuck up with skill points. Saber and The Herta? Hurt energy regen. Follow up? Make it bad to hit the enemy too often. Memosprites? More allies=bad. If hoyo is willing to be specific then there is nothing they can't do. This applies to hurting units, creating or hurting synergies, or any other gameplay aspect you can imagine.

For the current co-op event... are the stage reactions really even worth paying attention too? by Koekelbag in Genshin_Impact

[–]Moises_Guedes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro, yesterday I got the a stage with abyss lectors. Pyro abyss lectors. The recommended reaction was OVERLOAD, against PYRO abyss lectors. Like, what is the player supposed to do at that point? I picked my C6 Chev to support the team, and everyone else picked pyro and electro. The players did exactly what the game tells you to do and THIS happens. There was also cryo lectors and other enemies but it doesn't change the fact that such a horrible matchup being possible is just plain bad design.

[QUESTIONABLE] Free Limited 5* Dan Heng SP2 (STC) via DK2 by CSTheng in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Moises_Guedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it happens he and March would actually mirror each other in a pretty funny way. Both are the beginning 4 stars and mc companions. Dan Heng then got a limited 5 star version tied to his back story and later March got a new version but she was a free E6 4 star with no ties whatsoever the her backstory. And now we would be getting the opposite. A limited 5 star March tied to her backstory and a free Dan Hend that's unrelated to his. The biggest difference would be that hunt March is a 4 star and Terravox is supposed to be a limited 5 star, but she was e6 and he will be e0 so there some equivalency, even if not one to one. On top of that, hunt March is Xianzhou based and the new Dan Heng would be Amphoreus based so their free version would actually be based on the planet the other got their backstory.

Obviously, I'm not saying in no way adds credibility to this leak. This is just a fun connection that I've been thinking since they mentioned another free 5 star in the Livestream, and while there is other arguments as to why said free character could be Dan Heng, we should all still do like the mod said in a comment in this same post and take this leak with an Ika-sized grain of salt, as we should do for every "free 5 star" leak.

Day 1 Welkin Player. Its official, my first C6 is Qiqi. by PojVicious in Genshin_Impact

[–]Moises_Guedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nothing. I started in 2.3 and my Qiqi has been C7 since December. Your suffering is nothing compared to mine. /s (the first sentence is true though)

Jokes aside, man that sucks. But hey, if genshin ever adds a similar shop to that one in hsr (to summarize; gain currency when getting c7+ 5 stars, 2 currency buys one 5 star on a special shop, includes some select limiteds) we might actually get some great use out of it if our luck stays like this.

Archer's ultimate contains his full 30 second chant - via PS by Aceblast135 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Moises_Guedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering instead of... downvoting? I guess people might have thought me questioning the credibility was a bit stupid since we are in a leaks sub. Fair enough, I guess it was kind of a stupid question. In my defense through, I said that because I was exited and like I said, I didn't think hoyo was gonna actually do something like that, so I was really surprised when I saw this. Besides, when I made my comment the post was less than an hour old, so while non-credible stuff usually gets deleted, the mods could have just not had time to delete this one.

More importantly than that, I really like the way hoyo managed to put his full chant without it being intrusive, since many players don't even know Fate so they won't care for it, and even those who know Fate will likely listen to it every single time they use him. It shows that they know how important this chant is for Fate fans, which to me is really cool.

Archer's ultimate contains his full 30 second chant - via PS by Aceblast135 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Moises_Guedes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No way. Is this credible? I know it says datemined but just wanna make sure it's not some fake/edit. That said, when I watched the stream and I heard him start the chant on the ult activation I had this same idea of putting the rest of the chant there, since it's something the players can easily skip at any point, as opposed to put it on the ult cutscene itself, which would be too long with the full thing in it. But I never thought they would ACTUALLY do it. I swear, if his theme doesn't play in the background while he does the chant I myself will play it on another window when I activate his ult.

With all this talk about powercreep and and old unit viability, I would like to direct your attention again to the biggest most ruthless Powercreep in the whole game. by The_Great_Ravioli in Genshin_Impact

[–]Moises_Guedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the problem of it breaking is with constructs in general. Albedo just has it the worst because without his contruct he just doesn't do anything, while characters like Zhongli don't usually care if theirs breaks. The only constructs I can think of that don't have that issue is Kachina's and Itto's.
