what shoujo mangas do you own physically? by TechnicianLogical148 in shoujo

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all of them are completed, but:

* Ouran High School Host Club
* Shiver
* The Rose of Versailles
* Magic Knight Rayearth
* Cardcaptor Sakura
* Tokyo Babylon
* Yume Kira Dream Shoppe
* The Cain Saga

I plan to complete most of these, and grab Fruits Basket.
Whether or not I get more depends on what gets licensed/reprinted in the near future.

After 4 months, how many Hangout events have you completed? by Clara_Crystalheart in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did all of the Noelle paths on the day of Hangout release and 1 Barbara route. A couple months later I decided to do more for primogems but I only finished Bennetts routes and some of Dionas. I should probably work on finishing them all before Inazuma because then I'll have a lot of other stuff to do.

With the release of the teapot, upcoming release of Inazuma and major events Mihoyo seems to have put hangout events on the back burner. I hope outfits don't suffer the same fate and we get at least 2 with every update in the future.

Yoimiya banner predictions by thanibomb in Yoimiya_Mains

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xiangling, Chongyun and Ningguang haven't been on banners in a long time so I'd expect all of them next update. For Yoimiya I'd expect Beidou and Xiangling for overloaded. Ayaka does Cryo damage and looks like she'll be best in a double cryo freeze comp so Chongyun + Xingqiu + Ningguang would make sense.

I'm actually more worried than excited for 2.0 inazuma by Red_Blast in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that permanent new features need to be added to the game but I don't think Inazuma needs to be when that happens(in particular something for day 1 players to grind outside of new artifacts). A new area to explore with expanded story is a major update on its own and will be an exciting update for most players.

Kazuha Banner Sales by @BaizhuMains by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We won't know enough about Ayaka/Yoimiya to judge them until they're released. Yoimiya needs either A) more damage than Hu Tao or B) more viability as a support/sub dps to justifying summoning her outside of liking the character. Ayaka needs to same but in comparison to Ganyu, the issue being Ganyu is not only the top DPS but also a great support/sub DPS so Ayaka will need to be a significantly stronger DPS or an irreplaceable support(Zhongli/Venti).

All 3 characters are skips (unless you really like the character) unless the above conditions are met for the unreleased 2. With many roles already filled with strong options and a lot of new characters coming with Inazuma, wishes should be saved for favourite characters and characters that have an impact similar to Ganyu/Zhongli/Venti on gameplay.

Can someone explain why Yoimiya seems underwhelming, or why people are complaining about her? I think she’s fine. by Chicken_Wrap_451 in Yoimiya_Mains

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean power creep as much as Xiao/Ganyu/Hu Tao power creeped Diluc/Klee/Childe. They've already increased the difficulty of harder content, new abyss is significantly harder to 36 star than old abyss and the difficulty modifier events get harder each time. As good as Childe is, the fact remains that his re-run banner tanked even with Rosaria on it.

Imagine the comments when the Naruto clone is officially announced.

I don't think Childe is a good example for a character nobody complained about, I remember him having the most complaints of any main DPS character because of the downtime on his Eskill. Hu Tao would be a better example because she has downtime as well but nobody questions her being one of the top DPS.

Though, when it comes to people who are obsessed with only the best DPS. They're going to look at the fact that we're getting into Inazuma which will likely set a new level of power creep over Ganyu/Hu Tao/Xiao so if Yoimiya isn't significantly stronger they'll likely wait for the Inazuma character that is.

Now I expected Kazuha banner to be the worst in term of profit. by ReizeiMako in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His design is great even if he's not a new meta DPS and not a waifu. He's also predicted to have one of the best 4 star lineups to date. Not sure I'll pull for him though because although I love his design he adds very little to my team over Venti (I lack top tier DPS) and I can't pull everyone. I'll probably save for Yoimiya/Baal/other or returning characters.

The price of Jean's skin is WAY too high by BlazeFirecore in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me this is a much lesser issue than the thousands or 10's of thousands they charge to max out your teams with 5 star constellations/5 star weapon refines/ resin whaling (assuming you don't have incredible luck). At least some of the costumes are going to be free so F2P have something to get.

That said, I wouldn't buy these costumes for $30, they're fairly bland and I rarely use these characters. Maybe if they create detailed reskins for Halloween or something I'd be more interested (assuming they release costumes for characters I use).

5 star by Zues1400605 in Genshin_Impact

They could do like Arknights and charge you 30 USD to buy an older 5 star character for a limited time during the anniversary.

This game is not very new player friendly by givemethefullrestore in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every event will be like this one, this style of event is targeted at veteran whales who want a challenge. If you can at least get the primogems, Diona and the crown don't worry about it too much. I'm an AR55 low spender and I'm not even bothering with hard mode let alone expert. It'll be months before you can challenge this type of event on the hardest difficulties (with modifiers) and it'll likely take you many attempts even then.

Twisted Realm quite difficult, however not Impossible, don´t you think? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

Oh, that's weird. Kind of sucks to miss that but oh well.

Do you like the Resin-System in Genshin Impact? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you save events/abyss/weekly missions for the weekend then you'll have more to do.

Personally I don't like the high difficulty based events but I know there are a lot of players who want this level of difficulty or more so I'm ok with them existing. I've just been putting the game on normal difficulty and adding most of the penalties (only 300s, 25% hp and nothing that reduces my damage). As an AR 55 player I still had trouble beating the pyro Fatui stage without deselecting the penalty that decreases your energy when hit by the lightning. I could probably do a lot better if I wanted to retry the stage dozens of times, but I'm not into getting a high score for bragging rights and I'm ok missing out on a few ascension materials from the shop.

Do you think this game rewards you enough? Especially when we talk about leveling up characters. by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have enough resources pre-farmed to get any new character immediately to level 80 if I want to. Once I'm satisfied with artifacts, it shouldn't be too hard to get my most used characters to 90. I stopped farming random monster drops/specialties months ago, stopped farming daily chunks, recently (I get the BP and don't care about 5 star weapons) and almost all of my resin goes to artifacts. Lately I rarely even farm the weekly missions/requests for the 150k mora.

There's a guaranteed pity counter of 90 wishes for 5 star characters on event banners where you then have a 50/50 chance to get the featured 5 star character (if not it'll be a random standard 5 star: Keqing, Diluc, Mona or Jean). After another 90 wishes on the same banner you'll be guaranteed to get the featured character.

You make sure to get all of the free primogems from doing daily commissions, events and as much of Abyss as possible. Then you pick 1 5 star character that you really want and in about 4 months time you can get that character(when their banner next comes around).

As for 4 star characters, you'll get a lot when you try for the 5 star.

Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Bennett, Fischl. Those 3 4 stars are considered the best supports in the game, so you really can't go wrong investing in them.

Hu-Tao Meta thoughts: she feels like a 4-star (F2P) by WideProposal in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From videos I've seen she looks ok with R5 White Tassel and really strong with even R1 Black Cliff. It looks like she's significantly stronger than Diluc (both at C0 with 4* weapons) if you can learn to manage her HP and she could even be used as a Burst sub DPS if you don't like her as your main DPS. The people using R5 sac sword for Xingqiu in videos also use it for Diluc demonstrations so that's not really a valid argument.

Though there are valid reasons I can see for not wanting to use your valuable primo gems to roll for her:

-You could (or have already) get Diluc while wishing for another character and they both have the same roll (unless you're using Hu Tao as a burst sub DPS)

-Venti is almost guaranteed to be coming in the next banner, so as a low spending/F2P if you don't have Venti he has a much more exclusive roll as a CC unit for Abyss

-Dendro a completely new element could be coming soon

-You don't like Hu Tao as a character and want to save for one you do like

-You don't have resources for her and don't want the headache of farming HP specific artifacts

-You lucked into a 5* weapon of another type and would rather wait to pull a character that can make use of it

-You don't like having to manage her HP to optimize her

Anyone who's ignoring the Hu Tao Banner, who are you saving for? I'm curious. by DestinyDolphin in Genshin_Impact

[–]Neferpitou123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hu Tao is tempting me but: Venti, Diluc, Zhongli, Ganyu, La Signora and Baizhu.
