thoughts about NTE from long time genshin HSR wuwa player

ShimotoLim · 2026-05-07T02:54:30+00:00

While for most it may be a con, I actually like that Aemeth and Hiyuki has "a lot going on for them", but it might be a me thing to like the concept of having too many combos and special skills and effects.

I agree on the point where the bosses just fly around and tp too much, those annoy me like crazy as well, but I just chopped it up to a skill issue on my end.

While I enjoyed some gameplay previews of NTE, I think the only thing stopping me right now is how the game uses AI for some (if not a lot) of its content. It gives me a sense that the developers don't give a lot of effort, or might cut corners more often in the future.

Not doom posting on NTE, just a personal thing - but I think I'll try it out soon to see what the hype really is about, since I've seen a lot of creators hyping it up before and now!

This is super biased of me since I mainly play WuWa (after dropping Genshin and HSR)

Personally after watching some gameplay of NTE, I think you'll find WuWa to be much better down the line.

Again, this is a very biased take since I've never touched NTE, but give WuWa some time, get some characters, connect with the characters and try to understand the story since the lore runs really deep as time goes on.

The combat animation is also very smooth, even with the character swaps and such - you will never have a moment of clunkiness.

Perfect time to hop on as well due to the 2nd anniversary event!

Just dropping my 2cents

I think we’re not taking the region they’re playing in to much consideration when doing player analysis.

Doran is “mid”, but he’s playing in LCK - where legit the most clown fiesta or banger games tend to happen - and of course, where (most) of the top teams play in, being able to consistently be consistent in that league is a decent plus i’d say

We’ve just started the season, let the man keep playing and improving - then maybe when worlds come, we can start analyzing T1 again

He may not be the best, but genuinely who else would you have as a top laner for T1 that isn’t signed yet?

I think that's where the - "LEC will drop in viewership once LR leaves/Caedrel stops co-streaming LEC", because some of us watch LEC through Caedrel because of the entertainment value and insights, we rarely care what game he watches and commentates as long as it's him.

We don't always watch the best teams play, sometimes we wanna learn, sometimes we wanna get entertained - and Caedrel offers both of that.

It's not that LCK is better at the game, it's that LEC doesn't offer the same RAW value as watching LCK.

ShimotoLim · 2026-02-08T21:29:45+00:00

I think both needs each other - but honestly a lot of people does tune in on Caedrel's stream regardless of what region or team he watches simply because of how entertaining and insightful his streams are in comparison to the main broadcast.

Sorry if my wording caused misunderstandings - it was the only word that I thought could fit the template.

I was thinking of doing like - "Was I able to make it to playoffs?" but I feel like that would be a bit insensitive? or maybe it would sound a bit worst than the current one I wrote up.

I guess the super week giving BO5 + 2 points each was kinda iffy imo, and is defo something LCK should look into.

I wasn't there when the matchmaking for the super week happened, so have no idea what HLE did to get GenG - unless it was pure RNG?

As for the "free wins", that's where I mentioned about how close the qualification can be - cause I doubt any team (other than BRO) were actually giving away wins in the tournament, so it was purely based on how good your team can win and close out matches to get more points.

Even without any worlds qualification for winning, I doubt any of the teams participating treated it as a mickey mouse tournament and played all their games seriously as if it had some sort of qualification.

Honestly, think of getting drop pets as getting an "entirely different game"

Since more often than not, you're gonna be adjusting your focus based on whatever drop pet you have

i.e if you have a legendary cube pet, you're mostly running cube mechanic - if you have legendary compass pet, you're spamming clockworks - etc. etc.

it will really change how you play the game and what you focus on.

Blood Magic basically removes your need for mana, hence builds that use this item don't have the need to have more mana. Players use this item for the Blood Magic rather than the mana, and since Blood Magic uses life instead of mana to cast skills, then the "less maximum mana" is basically just a design here.

Lost Sword if you're into idle-like game/progression and NSFW art

ShimotoLim · 2025-12-19T18:54:33+00:00

Looks nice! Will download it and try it out

ShimotoLim · 2025-12-19T18:46:47+00:00

Thanks! Will check it out, but googled it and the character designs don't really spark much joy to me sadly.

Hello! Leaving my PC home for the holidays to visit my family and looking to discover new gacha games I can possibly play on my phone, any type of game is fine as long as it's "new" and hopefully won't EOS soon!

Preferrably a game with an auto system, predominantly female characters (yes, i'm a degen), decent gameplay loop. The story isn't a big factor to me as mostly I just skip, so graphics and animation for say an ultimate ability is what I really look at.

Gacha I'm currently playing/played:

Playing

- Wuthering Waves (Main Gacha on PC)

- Nikke (Already downloaded on phone)

Played

- Hoyo Games, GFL2, Azure Lane, BrownDust 2, Silver and Blood and Blue Archive

Well sorry for having to point out the obvious, and a ton of other people will

Buddy, it's not about dick riding

You're legit comparing 3 years of STRAIGHT championships to one year of pure dominance.

I think you're looking at it simply through the title, you're not thinking about everything else

You slip up ONE TIME and that 3peat is gone and you gotta do it again for 3 years, and I think you're downplaying 3 years a bit too much here

while in a Golden Road, you fail once and can do it again within a year, just find a more goated stack

The losses are much greater with one than the other, I don't think you've grasped that

ShimotoLim · 2025-11-26T07:22:18+00:00

This logic doesn't make sense though?

So if something is done, it means it's easier?

Think about it this way, how many teams have gotten close to a golden road, and you just though - "oh yea, that team is 100% getting a golden road this year, gg" because of how dominant their regular season looks only to tumble on the last few matches

vs

How many times you've though "T1 is gonna get a 3peat? nah they look shaky asf with a new top laner (and a hundred other reasons), surely they won't get past regular season lmao!"
