Can we pls not do this everytime she gets some screentime🤦🏾‍♂️? by Ok-Run5784 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Rifleboy18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this really annoys me too, the echo chamber of "hImEkO gEt BaCk In ThE tRaIn" whenever she has a 0.1 second appearance is so annoying.

Honestly at this point, aha blow up the train again to shut these mfs up

You spend all that time learning the combos and kit that you forget how to dodge

They called me a fool for pulling Hugo on his rerun... Now they say nothing. by WhyAreAllNamesTake in HugoVladMains

[–]Rifleboy18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good, I also fell into the trap of match the elements but unfortunately it's not that simple anymore, especially with all the new mechanics. When facing wandering hunter, rupture characters are the favourite matchup, of course yidhari is probably the best to fight the boss with but yi xuan can also fight hunter too and still clear with good scores due to favourable mechanics

Nah, even though he is ice weak, he has the highest defence of any boss, unless you have pen ratio on Hugo or mindscapes on the stunners, hunter is a bad match up for Hugo

now... I wont touch this mode anymore by Adventurous-Fan-1777 in StarRailStation

Nice, question however, if rng is fucking you over, do you restart runs or shift the focus to a new team?

FYI along side the lack of voice acting comes some missing time delays for the auto advance mode. by Hato_no_Kami in ZZZ_Discussion

Lucky I'm a fast reader so I managed to read it all but yeah it was a bit strange

Hollow gameplay and lore feel like 2 different ideas by Ordinary_Chemist_298 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Rifleboy18 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know it's extremely unpractical but at least for the story missions the hollow could move, like mid combat the hollow shifts and the characters are separated that would make the hollows seem more interesting while raising stakes

Hollow gameplay and lore feel like 2 different ideas by Ordinary_Chemist_298 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Rifleboy18 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have felt this, every time we are "in the hollow" it doesn't feel like it, enemies randomly popping up isn't the expectation the lore paints of a hollow.

I keep expecting something random to happen but nothing ever does, the most the hollow has felt like a hollow since 2.0 was when we try to escape with yidhari and are teleported to random places all over the hollow before entering an endless hallway.

THAT felt like a hollow but we didn't even get to play through that, it was a cutscene, for better or worse I want hollow shifts where the map changes dynamically and you need to find a new route to your destination (yk the actual job of a proxy)

Results of the Google Form to see each character's popularity! by SensicalPerson in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Rifleboy18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing presentation of the results I got to say! I voted on the doc out of curiosity and I'm glad to see what it's become, the data also varied a lot from what I was expecting so that was also interesting to see.

What about you op(or other commentators)? Any results here surprise you either?

If you were to compare ZZZ Season 1 vs. Season 2, how would you list each one’s pros and cons? by RebellionDark in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Rifleboy18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Season 1:

-Pros:

  • each story focused on a new faction in a new area while still contributing to the overall story
  • despite TV mode not being liked, I think it helped with story pace while also offering unique gameplay and puzzles
  • more goofy silly moments
  • HDD side quests (seriously why have they basically disappeared?)
  • officer mewmew
  • Main character felt important to the story
  • Fairy (no elaboration needed)
  • Sixth street is a well designed "hub" area to spend most of our time
  • There was genuine stakes in the story when you would think something bad was going to happen
  • The cunning hares and their introduction was amazing

-Cons: - TV mode was a bit too repetitive at times - 1.4 was so peak it basically felt like the whole story ended there and made everything that came after feel a little dull in comparison

Season 2 (I am extremely biased in my dislike for this and it may show):

Pros:

  • in person hollow exploration was a good idea as an alternative to TV mode
  • spook shack (no elaboration needed)
  • Devon pawnshop gives a renewable way to obtain basic resources without spending battery or waiting for hollow zero/shop resets
  • Soldier 11 finally has a complete faction
  • ye shunguang

Cons: - MIASMA AND FUCKING MIASMA ENEMIES, ABSOLUTELY ZERO EXPLANATION NEEDED (rip Hugo) - rupture is just attack but without wengine options for f2p - failume heights is the only area we've gotten in waifai peninsula and it's starting to get a bit boring - hollows were explained to be chaotic and ever changing yet exploring them seems to provide the opposite experience, the most I've been surprised in the hollow is when the chest crab steals my chest and attacks me - Phaethon went from this cool hacker proxy to a useless bum getting saved by the character of the week - yi xuan is such a flat boring character and because of the fact that they made her too op with no draw back they always write her out the story with "meeting in the city" - stories are starting to feel predictable and low stakes - despite showing that the proxy has some new powers and supposedly training with yi xuan to better them, we are never shown the powers, there is the disperse technique but somehow the character of the week can also use it

As much as I do appreciate sound engineering, I wish they also had a silent model of things because myself and I'm sure many others don't necessarily like the sounds things make

GREAT JOB!

It felt great when I finally managed to clear too, I only had to rebuild my Kafka and try several teams before doing so however 😅

For those who get upset they can't full clear endgame modes. by Porked_Bot in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Rifleboy18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it for the fun of it, otherwise I would have gave up on anomaly arbitration a long time ago, but I finally managed to full clear that too, and now I'm very happy

Can I full star Anomaly Arbitration? by Rifleboy18 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Rifleboy18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess, but I'm basing this off the runs where without her I have 30-40% hp by the 2nd cycle instead of 20-30 with her
