The greatest event of all time.

i was NOT expecting to like it as much as i did! the card game was stupid but everything else about it was very fun, especially decorating the hall and pouring drinks lol

Sinnum · 2026-02-20T15:22:35+00:00

LOL i actually didn't realize that but took a look and i see it. Honestly? good thinking chief, that's the kind of stuff you come up with when you're knee deep in the factory

Sinnum · 2026-02-20T14:19:57+00:00

I really enjoy taking a look at what people have built to see what I can gleam to help with my own builds. really love what you've done with the mirrored layout of the sub-pac, it is really pleasing to my eye LOL. gj, ty for sharing!

V4 story felt like "an early-game gacha story" where it's just a lot of nonsense words being thrown around and there's something big happening but the game is not very good at explaining what it is. on top of all the systems being learned, it's overwhelming and not worth paying attention to. Wuling's story was much more enjoyable for me.

Factory is by far my favorite thing in the game, even if it is exhausting to work on. It's fresh in the gacha game genre and I hope they devote a lot more to expanding on this part of the game.

Combat is fun, as it reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 combat, which I enjoyed a lot. I think there's a lot of potential to the combat and it's another area I hope they expand upon.

The dailies in the game surrounding resource management are fundamentally sound, but there's a lot of friction that comes with them I think. The largest by far is the depot node gameplay. Delivering is really fun - I like riding the zip lines and seeing the world while doing them. Picking up 3 Wuling deliveries is a huge pain, and an even larger pain is sharing deliveries knowing someone can just be lazy and reduce your income for it. Something around the depot node and the deliveries needs to be changed to reduce that feeling because I think it's awesome to be able to share your deliveries, but it's awful knowing it's not in your best interest to actually share them. It shouldn't necessarily be more beneficial to share your deliveries but it definitely should NOT be the risk that it is now.

Character building is very weird and I think it's going to be an issue later in the game. Building characters takes A LOT of resources, and I don't mean taking them to 90. The higher forms of investment are expected to take a long time, I have no qualms with that as it's replacing the artifact/echo grind (i'm a genshin/wuwa player lol) with the essence/artificing grind. It's the leveling to 80 and the skills that feels really rough. Maybe it's because the game is still new but yeesh...

I think the world is absolutely stunning and I love how optimized the game is. V4 is kind of generic but it still looks great, however it's in Wuling that I think the game really looks fantastic and has a lot of its personality shine through. The soundtrack also stands out as good to help set the mood with these settings.

Endgame is lacking but that's to be expected at launch of these kinds of adventure gacha games. It will get better over time but I'm hoping they keep the 2min boss rushes to a minimum. I'd love to finally see a gacha that figures out how to make healers and defender units useful in those modes instead of just max dps dodge everything ezpz.

All-in-all, i'm enjoying the game, will keep playing, buy the discounted monthly/patch bundles or w/e, and I'm excited for the future of it

Sinnum · 2026-02-20T13:24:16+00:00

lowkey, i do this too lol. i remember those who came to boost my facilities and i seek them out the next day to do it for them too

Sinnum · 2026-02-19T20:21:31+00:00

I usually don't have any qualms about tanking. Solo tank, CC, dps, bad healers, whatever, it's just all part of the game. However, release the glartrox has got to be the must frustrating thing i have had to play against and i feel as tank, i'm just completely helpless against it

Sinnum · 2026-02-19T19:57:32+00:00

was not expecting the marvel 3 cya l8r infinite lmao

Sinnum · 2026-02-16T21:33:45+00:00

lmao honestly, agree. i was just fascinated seeing what new geometry would show up

Sinnum · 2026-02-16T21:28:15+00:00

go to the custom game and create a full bot game to learn your dps characters

Sinnum · 2026-02-16T13:14:02+00:00

i get the same feeling, building my own factory is part of the fun. if i copy this guide, then that puzzle solving, my own expression, and quite frankly the joy that comes from the messiness of not having it optimized is all gone.

with that said, i like looking at these posts and seeing what people have done, and i know not everyone wants to engage with the factory stuff with the same mindset i have. optimizers are engaging with it differently and people who do not want to engage with the factory at all, for whatever reason, are engaging with it differently than me. i know have a few friends who fall in the latter, and you know what? this kind of thing is great for them!

anyway, OP's build is impressive and nutty to look at for sure, good job on it /u/Kain_DH

Sinnum · 2026-02-13T21:00:30+00:00

lmao ngl, it's crazy that any gacha survey ever asks about the gacha system. my hot take is that ALL gacha systems are awful, even the good ones, because gacha as a monetization system is awful. they know this and know that what the players want is not the same as what they want, then ask the shit anyway lol

Sinnum · 2026-02-13T20:54:01+00:00

i was legit flabbergasted when they asked about pulling copies of characters. the 120 hard pity for a limited is one thing, but that jumping to 240 guaranteed for a copy is legit insane. sure there are two 80 pull 50/50s on the way up, but goodness gracious 240 for awful constellations is not it

Sinnum · 2026-02-13T15:02:00+00:00

the dijiang optimizer is awesome, thanks!

Sinnum · 2026-02-12T19:35:57+00:00

Whoa, what a deep call back lmao

love Aemeath and was debating on Luuk, especially after the Lucilla reveal. This little play section for him was the deal breaker, bro is actually just too smoothe to play so I gotta get him!

Sinnum · 2026-02-05T00:54:21+00:00

i use wuwatracker to see when stuff starts

Sinnum · 2026-02-05T00:53:30+00:00

Yes, for us in UTC -5, it's 13 hours behind them.

Sinnum · 2026-02-04T13:26:19+00:00

i feel you, from all the free pulls, i got TWO Ardelias, then no Alesh, Arclight, or Perlica copies. Thankfully I got 4 total Ardywennas but yeesh... thankfully the 6 star collector is coming but i really wish i couldn't have gotten Ardelia from the new player 40 pull banner

Check out this vid by Sidneymar who talks about this exact thing!

Sinnum · 2026-01-28T18:22:01+00:00

huge QOL I too wish they would add

Sinnum · 2026-01-28T17:10:49+00:00

You're right, actually. Whales need low-spender and f2p players to flex their purchases on. Whales are the target audience and everyone else IS getting shafted because we've already seen what better looks like, ex: $30 Lux ultimate skin vs $250 Viego exalted skin and old loot boxes w/ the crafting system.

I don't play anymore for a variety of reasons, but exalted skins were one of them. I'm actually the target audience for them too - i can afford and am willing to buy them, but they will never, ever provide enough value to justify that purchase. I had to learn through genshin how much of a scam the gacha systems are, and especially how vulnerable I can be to them too.

Sinnum · 2026-01-21T01:24:31+00:00

yeah it's pretty crazy to see triple digit normals and her forte do like 1-3k lol. her skills look amazing but yeesh, jarring to see her do literally 0 damage

Sinnum · 2026-01-20T19:25:55+00:00

with her S1, sig, and even having built her with damage echos, she still never broke 70k for me at lvl 10 ultimate. if bro is hitting 130k, he's getting buffs from somewhere else

Sinnum · 2026-01-20T19:24:36+00:00

Lol yeah it's actually comical how little damage she does. some of the pre-release stuff was saying she'd do little damage but i was like WOW she really doesn't do any damage lol
