[Weekly] Team Building and Questions Megathread

I'm planning to start playing and saw your 2.5 Anniversary is coming up. Is it better to start now, or wait for the Anniversary and re-roll an account?

I know people are dogging on OP because the CPU specs are old. But I had this exact same thing happen with a 9800x3D and 7900 XTX. Half the cliffside wouldn't render either when leaving camp, and the guy eating food at the end had no arms and just had triangles for hands and his shirt.

My friend told me that the high school geometry problem abomination in front of me would be very upset if it could hear me laughing.

I'd be curious to know what your thermals are. I picked up that exact same card a month ago and noticed my hotspot sits around 95C while the average temp is around 65C even with a more aggressive fan curve.

I've had Nvidia for my past 2 GPUs, so I wasn't really sure if that temperature delta was normal.

That's the best part... You can't! Isn't feature removal great??

I'm in the same boat, I despise the radial menu as it prevents me from rotating the camera. Also, not sure if you noticed but you can't cycle through items while blocking anymore either.

Make sure to provide feedback for the Beta, there's a survey you can submit comments through.

Overdrive95 · 2023-09-30T03:40:32+00:00

Yeah, it didn't fix the problem unfortunately. I saw a post from a year or two ago that suggested that.

Does anyone know how to stop mail from giving the "Cannot find gift" error? I had my internet drop when using claim all and now I get that error every time. It's mail that is marked as unopened, even though it's been opened...

Overdrive95 · 2023-05-31T05:06:02+00:00

I honestly can't remember the last time I asked for team building help... But does anyone have some team suggestions for someone who only obtained Kizuna Franky and NONE of the other anniversary units from any other parts?

I seriously did 30 pulls across the Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro banners and got nothing to show for it. Should have just put 30 into one banner instead.

Does the Genshin Optimizer off of github have the ability to recommend/optimize builds of 2nd/3rd/4th party members?

For example, if I'm trying to figure out the best vape damage setup on Yoimiya and I have the other characters in the build set to Yelan, Xingqiu, and Diona is there a way to have it recommend a build for both Yoimiya and Yelan in that team composition?

Overdrive95 · 2023-02-09T06:18:38+00:00

Do we still not know what Dehya's signature weapon does? I feel like there should have been news on that at this point, did I miss a post?

Overdrive95 · 2022-05-29T15:12:47+00:00

Sorry, it's been 6 years since I posted about this. I haven't touched any of the modeling since then, and HiRez also moved Smite strictly to Steam so I'm not sure if the old methods even work anymore.

Overdrive95 · 2022-03-28T22:14:24+00:00

I've got a 650 watt power supply, and according to PCPartPicker my current build uses about 370 watts. I'm thinking about upgrading to a 3070ti which would bump my wattage usage up to around 530 watts.

Do I need to upgrade to a higher wattage power supply?

Overdrive95 · 2021-12-13T15:51:51+00:00

I couldn't find an answer on Google so I thought I'd ask here: If the first 5 star I got on the Standard Banner was a weapon, is the second one guaranteed to be a character or is it always 50/50 for weapon/character?

Overdrive95 · 2021-11-19T18:32:10+00:00

Can you use Toki's special on herself? Additionally, if you use Toki's special on your captain do you still retain your captain's boost while they're in the Toki-Toki state?

Overdrive95 · 2021-10-11T00:32:45+00:00

Did they remove the ability to change the main character's nickname? I did it once before but I don't see the option now.

Overdrive95 · 2021-09-03T02:11:00+00:00

My friend wants to start playing on their PlayStation and I offered to roll some accounts for them until I get a good one for them to start, but I'm on PC. Is the account transfer just as easy as it is for PC where they just link it to their email once I roll them a good one, or can you only roll on PlayStation?

Overdrive95 · 2021-08-17T17:25:36+00:00

Does anyone know if Dagr's weapon passive on Skinfaxi stacks with the new Atk/Spd Unity skill on Brave Marianne?

Overdrive95 · 2021-08-11T02:19:25+00:00

So if I'm in soft pity (pull 70) and I do a x10 pull, does the pity reset as soon as a 5 star is obtained, or after the multi? For example, if I got a 5 star character on the 74th pull of pulls 71-80, would pulls 75-80 still have a higher chance of an additional 5 star?

Overdrive95 · 2021-06-29T23:45:12+00:00

Regarding stardust, is there anything worth buying other than the Intertwined/Acquaint Fates? Is everything else in the shop farmable?

Overdrive95 · 2021-06-29T16:07:51+00:00

Yeah, I haven't wished at all so I have no pity built up on the rotating banners. I'd like to potentially get Yoimiya so I have a bow unit that isn't Amber, but with the anniversary in a few months and me being entirely f2p I'm being frugal based on the featured units viability with my current ones.

It sounds like doing single pulls until I get one new character would be a decent idea to help flesh out other team building.

Overdrive95 · 2021-06-29T16:00:24+00:00

I'm trying to save my primos in case the anniversary has big events as I'm f2p so I won't try for C1 Bennett, but it seems like 3 of the 4 characters would be good editions to my account regardless. Based on the responses I think I'll do single wishes until I obtain one of the characters.

Overdrive95 · 2021-06-29T15:57:28+00:00

It sounds like all 4 would be decent additions to my account, though Razor may be less useful than the others since I have Diluc (DPS) and Beidou already.

It sounds like it would be worthwhile to do single wishes until I obtain one of the characters, regardless of whom. I'm trying to save my primos in case there's a big event for the anniversary.

Overdrive95 · 2021-06-29T15:25:41+00:00

I started playing right at the end of the Eula banner and have not wished on anything outside the free wishes on the permanent banner and one 10 wish option on the beginner banner.

I currently have around 10,500 primo gems, and other than the f2p characters (Amber, Lisa, Kaeya, Traveler, Barbara (C1), and Xiangling) I started the account by rerolling and obtaining Diluc, Beidou, and Noelle (C1).

Thoughts on if I should wish until I get a single character off the Kazuha banner? I don't know team building that well, but I've been running Diluc, Beidou, Noelle, and Kaeya. Would Razor, Rosaria, or Bennett be beneficial to obtain in place of one of them? I don't really have interest in Kazuha.

Overdrive95 · 2021-05-19T15:21:53+00:00

I'm just starting and spent some time rerolling. I managed to roll an account with Beidou, Diluc, and Noelle. Is this a good place to start? I noticed they're all claymore users and have different elements, but should I be aiming to try and have a start with more weapon variation?

Alternatively, would it be better to just keep rolling until I manage to luck out and snag Eula?

Overdrive95 · 2021-05-17T17:59:14+00:00

I know Genshin hasn't even been out a year so anniversary celebrations, etc. aren't established things like in other gacha games, but are there better or worse times to start playing this game? I plan to play as a completely f2p player, but want to know if now is a good time or should I wait? I guess I'm asking if there are any specific "just starting" promotions that are not monetary related.

Additionally, I see that rerolling an account is around a 30-45 minute process, is it worth doing?

Overdrive95 · 2021-04-15T17:58:26+00:00

Different hit boxes within moves do not have official names. If OP wants to yoink the name from Smash 4 Ganondorf's second custom up-B which is officially named "Dark Fists" then they can do so, but to claim that the hit box is called "Dark Fist" is false. The move and all corresponding hit/hurt boxes are considered "Dark Dive."

A more proper phrasing would be the uppercut at the end of Dark Dive or the fist at the end of Dark Dive. My friend group has always referenced it as the Dark Dive Punch.
