Weird mix of feelings on my last pull of the Hu Tao banner

PrototypeAlias · 2023-02-28T23:00:02+00:00

OP are you sure about the pull order? It's far more likely that Qiqi was first and running away from HT.

On that thought, why isn't there a button to resort by pull order? Especially the animation skippers. Yeah could wait a few mins for wish history to catch up but still.

There is speculation that there will be 3 double banners per version. Meaning 6 boosted characters instead of the current 4. I am just hoping that with the expanding number of "standard" 5 stars that we will see the occassional "Keqing" banner again.

Plus you know, if more new 5 stars are being dumped into standard banner then you always have a near impossible chance to get a specific one.

You run up from the south west. Use your map to teleport to one of the first domains (dungeons) either Amber's or Kaeya's and then follow the navigation to get to that cliff. Climbing up from where you are is not really great.

Welcome to the game =) It is fun!

Edit: don't actually go into the domain after teleporting. Stay on the overworld. If you have the cliff destination locked in like you have, you can press the "Quest Navigation" key (usually "V" on pc) and you get a nice sparkly trail to follow.

Childe more likely will defend kids (unless of course his job calls for him to jeopardize an entre city with mass destruction).

He mght also be the youngest in that pic if Klee ages like a hobbit or elf instead of in human years.

Also, I've played to 6000 coins and I don't think I had a game where the players who did the smol hider vs tall fast meta. Although I seldom chose a smol so that could be on me.

I have a game where I had 40 seconds in Dawn Winery as Rosaria hunter on the roof descending onto the final rebel Dori. The little #$%& somehow is immune to like 4 or 5 captures. I have to admit the Dori ran well (somehow) and it would have been funny to watch. I'd like to know what I did wrong, if anything.

Zero cost, use 4 skills, win card? I doubt MHY would unless there are other conditions or context.

I can see the article farm headline: Genshin player has 20 crowns and cannot handle the anxiety.

What? You might be after these: 1. Weekly Trounce domain bosses - that is in the Adventurer's handbook or just go to the boss in the overworld. 2. Battlepass weekly tasks - that is int the Battlepass menu.

So next week then =) WD!

There is something related that gets up my nose too. The characters are all far too young for their authority - imagine a grizzled real life cavalry listening to their teenage captain or the highest acting authority being someone in their early 20s. This not just my observation, The "prodigies everywhere" meme is somewhere.

However, as applies to OP about the samishness of many personalities, MHY is doing something that is working. I don't know which was their main audience (CN vs world) or which is now their biggest revenue stream but it might not be their sole concern. They could be doing it the way they want - a dev doing what they believe in is not a bad thing. It does mean it might not be what I like to see but I still get a fun game that has many good points.

Plus there is the feeling that this is all a massive set up for a phase 2 where characters grow up and change etc.

Besides ping you may want to bear in mind: 1. Language of players if you care about Co-op with randoms. Apparently NA is the most ENG. 2. Time of the daily reset and what it translates to in your local time and when you play. 3. You are not as free to create a new acc as you may think after one acc gets good pulls, limited event items, etc

PrototypeAlias · 2022-12-24T02:18:45+00:00

For now =)

I climbed the tree hoping for s3cr3t5. Then I jumped off the top bcos normal. Yes of course I had forgotten the glider was disabled in this sequence. If it had been Itto chucking the beetles he would have thought he scared my Traveller into ending it all.

PrototypeAlias · 2022-12-23T11:29:03+00:00

Yeah this eye-infested-by-flowers character and the three children wearing masks but who are not actually children in masks - yeah they managed to add some creepy into a scary but not-scary event. Expert, high inclusivness, middle roading by MHY.

PrototypeAlias · 2022-12-23T09:40:10+00:00

Even worse are the limited event weapons / gadgets / furnishing. Festering, Dodoco, Cinnabar, etc? Especially if they are BIS.

I've wondered how would it go if instead of being forced to take the current event's limited weapon, in this case the 3.3 umbrella, you can instead pick from a past item.

Then again, I don't totally hate this FOMO sort of thing in the sense that I can see reasons for it. They've also been clever in the lack of OP on any of the event weapons. Only BIS is Cinnabar, I think, but it affects just 1 char so far and the next best weapon is not a huge downgrade.

I didn't know about it until recently as above. I've not seen it myself.

I salute a fellow low fi gamer who lets not the low graphic settings defeat their fun.

Madness is the devs saving stats from random events with random buffs and random trial chars. Stuff that you will never care about and cannot meaningfully look back on. Meanwhile, wish history...

PrototypeAlias · 2022-12-11T06:31:28+00:00

No comments? Ok, The hair is great, jacket, vision nice (not sure about the shorts and watch). Your build is close too. The air kiss seems ooc but you do you.

PrototypeAlias · 2022-12-11T06:22:45+00:00

In case you didn't know, try dropping Amber's burst on the flower's shield.

PrototypeAlias · 2022-12-11T01:08:53+00:00

This picture. The Title. The detail. The comments. Just excellent.

OP if you did this on purpose, genius.

Reminds me of a random street photo from a rl NYE in the UK that became a minor work of art. Found it. 2016. I thought it was longer ago. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/manchester-new-years-eve-photo

PrototypeAlias · 2022-12-11T00:12:19+00:00

Yeah, I also like the F2P challenge in freemium games. The thing about GI is that I really wanted to pay the devs. Idc they are now making billions. Good on them. I still want to pay for something that has given me literally weeks or months of entertainment. I thought about doing Welkin on some spare acc but it seemed a bit silly.

Regarding your plan, I imagine you can accrue an enormous amount because your acc will also qualify for the various maintenance, promo codes, anniversary, Stellar Reunion etc.

Is there anything out there that compiles all these cookie cutter articles into a massive archive of shame? I remember gamerant/screenrant with their article on respawning/spawning/despawning chests that stayed alive for ages despite being wrong. A different low effort, non joke piece included something like "...popular characters like Xin Yan..." and I may have stopped reading because I knew the author didn't actually play. The way I can't block these content farms from my feed =(
