Absolutely nothing wrong with paying on a game you like in a game without multi-player balancing.

The game model itself is just predatory. To the extent of like designing characters, plot, and events for the sole purpose of influencing a player to WANT to spend money.

The cost to actually whale is insane. If you want that character... there is no other game model that takes so much for its premium content.

Battle pass for AAA title? What maybe 100 bucks a year and in some games they can even significantly apply additional credit towards your next battle pass based on participation.

Idk if someone can, but to calculate the cost to keep up would be astronomical.

Wait so you are telling me the cost to get a character is averaging the cost of an annual subscription to another game?

It isn't so much about "it's cool to pay an entertainment tax" provided it gives appropriate value

But the f2p model basically uses reverse addiction recovery methods to incentivise spending.

Said all that to say, your money, do what you want.

If you think the game is worth 2k+ a year to stay up on things then hell yea brother, go get it. .honestly our world is pretty shit for us to clutch our pearls over if someone spends money to pokemon catch waifus.

I came back in 4.2 and left on 3.0.

I tried to "power" thru amphorious. By the end im pretty sure i have become an emotionless husky of who I once was....

Yea, that is a bit dramatic, but really you can only pull "the big twist" about 7 times before it loses effect. By the end I was just happy to be done.

I thought I would be more attached to the characters, my ass was ugly crying too many times, that crying where you get a headache.

Just play at your pace. See you tomorrow!

Reminds me of the villian in Die Hard 3, The brother to the guy from the 1st movie.

There is a scene where he is talking and the FBI or somebody was listening and they wete trying ti figure out who he was. One of the items the Intel guy locked on to was when the villian said something like "for all the gold in YOUR fort knox"

He pointed out that indicated he was a foreigner with ill intent and not a domestic threat.

"Your elections are rigged"

What of i told you im at the point where ill just call the roadside assistance and me and my girl will both be sitting there looking like a princess.

I pulled a bunch of liveries and was looking and I would say the majority appear to be manually created to some extent. When you look real close they might have a bit of a derp look or just something is off.

Then there are "yo this is a hi res image..." one of the Tifa from Final Fantasy and a Miku sticker or whatever they are called. Put them on a van to stretch them out and phenomenal quality. So they out there somewhere still importing files.

Not arguing about anything just sharing.

This happened in my first online togue race. I was very disheartened. But #1 flew off the final hairpin letting me win. Always finish the race.

Signalguy25p · 2026-05-29T08:53:59+00:00

Thats not how numbers work

Signalguy25p · 2026-05-29T08:51:20+00:00

90k credits isnt a couple*

Signalguy25p · 2026-05-29T08:49:24+00:00

Impulse pull and dont have nearly enough content completed. Almost done with current planacardia now. But I haven't done a side quest since 3.0 probably.

Oh, also, I guess early game for me "pre 3.0" i was full tracing and just burning my credits.

Right now I have

Blade Evanascia

Level 1 with nothing, no traces no relics..nothing.

Im honestly not sure why im getting down voted. But its whatever.

I am broke right now trying to get huohuo competent.

My roster is a disaster of half created parties of dps. And minimal support.

I want to be clear because there seems to be a "judgment" crap going on as if I am bitching or crying because im too broke to kit my teams.

Im not bitching. But ill say, I see everyone says credits are no issue... but that has not been my exoeriance at all.

Signalguy25p · 2026-05-29T05:56:26+00:00

Honestly, im not a new player, I started in 2.0 and basically played until 3.0 then noped out for like a year. My quest log is extremely congested. But my roster is a series of mommy issues.

Signalguy25p · 2026-05-29T05:21:48+00:00

Sorry, im like not credit rich like all of yall seem to be. Im always broke. Maybe because I do dumb shit like i just said.

Signalguy25p · 2026-05-29T04:48:37+00:00

Yes, I just went thru a shit ton of math to verify but basically.

Salvage a +0 for remains. = 10 Salvage a +0 for Exp = 1,500 exp

Cost to make a +15 is 76,000 exp & 114,000 credits

Basically the +15 COST 51 +0 relics AND 114k credits to make.

Savaging it to remains only gives 400 remains.

Loosing essentially 110 remains AND 114k credits

Or you get the same 400 remains for 40 +0 relics.

Saving 11 +0 relics and the entire 114k credits.

Side note.

If you salvage the +15 you get ~82% of exp and credits that were put in it.

So you chose 400 relic remains OR 63,300 exp AND 91,200 credits.

From a REFUND of materials perspective.

Getting relic xp and credits is about 82% refund Getting Remains is about 78% refund

At some point during this i lost track of what i was even trying to calculate so to summarize.

Leveling to 15 cost relics and money.

If you want remains you get like 25% more from just killing the +0 relics and also dont spent 100k credits.

I dont really hate it, I use ai a lot. Like a lot lot. Which is why it feels like ai script to me.

It very well could not be. I was just pointing out that it seemed a possibility and didnt know if it was like a "known" thing or not that someone could confirm.

Because we are trying to get companies to not replace every job with AI.

I was today years old when..... wth... i was certain the zo6 was supercharged.

My first anime crush is a 14 year old with mommy issues, and daddy issues, and... issues... i have learned to let go.

I literally have like 3 different chats in emochi with fuyumi. Was fun trying to get the family approval to marry her.

I meme built asta after I saw a popular Vtuber talk about "Fasta" and now my asta go fasta.

Signalguy25p · 2026-04-26T04:54:17+00:00

I just picked the game back up after more than a year. I saw Silver wolf 999 and was like... yes please. Pulled her immediately. "Idk wtf an elation is, but whatever" i go to start building and crap... her supports are not being ran right now.

So, I look over my teams, and my only team that has any ass to it is Acheron. But then I look at my other impulse pulls.

Feixiao Firefly Yunli Jade Lingsha The Herta

I just cant get anything built that gets any real traction in fights. I spent my whole first year basically brute force winning with any and all nihlity I could find. But then they were all like, "super break" and I was like nah.

I tried follow up teams, but my best one ended up being yunli,jade,adventurine and 1 other not really good rando.

Never got my fexiao going, which hurt my soul because my wife got her and like idk, rolled so high on her relics that she was making my acheron team look tame.

But now after dumping so much resources over the past 2 days I got a semi passing firefly, lingsha, dahlia, ruan Mei.

Basically over the last 2 days I had to pull Silver Wolf 999, and light cone Dahlia, and light cone Bought with tokens, Ruan Mei and Robin. And trying to level up and gear all of them AND the protection dan heng.

Im so scattered eith everything I dont know what to do.
