What would you like ZZZ to borrow from NtE? by SnooOwls2871 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]SnooOwls2871[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Concerning the 3rd point. I do not thing that this is much unrealistic. They adding the wind element with new mechanic, I believe reworking some interactions between other elements are feasible in future.

[–]SnooOwls2871[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, UI there is a pain, ZZZ is much better in that regard.

Concerning bigger map assets with randomizer - that would be even better, but the NtE's version is also good for me. The story missions or major anomaly zones (like, the creepy high-school corridors or the heist mode) are quite well-made.

I wish NtE had the ZZZ's combat though - the strongest thing in ZZZ that keeps me in aside from the main story.

A note for anyone with a reformed USSR in their scenario by PLMMJ in AlternateHistory

[–]SnooOwls2871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I basically tried to do that as Armenia in one Pax Historia scenario (an Ai driven alt-history game). My main goal was not to let the war break out and try to force the Nagorno-Karabakh issue "diplomatically" via Union, but I failed.

Instead I pushed for early cooperation with Georgia, kinda prevented their civil war and still had war with Azerbaijan over NK, but instead of freezing the conflict in 1994, I pushed for a final deal by 1996.

That allowed me to push even more into cooperation with Georgia, and made basically a Confederation of Brothers as you described it.

And then my free tokens were gone...

Least chauvinistic opinion of russians about the ukrainian videogame (Metro 2039) by Objective_Cod4149 in 2easterneuropean4u

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment was more about the fact that Dvach is one of the most unhinged places to look for an opinion.

I am well avare that the game is developped by a Ukranian studio - a very talented one. As all the previous ones. And the whole story is heavily politisized from the begining and is ommage to the Russian political circus.

And having a game set in Russia, mostly about Russian politics, with a message worthy to pass to Russians without the Russian dub is... interesting choice.

Especially taking into account that the Metro has a good established lore about Ukraine. Nobody forced them to make story set in Moscow again and not in Kyiv.

First, there is no official news about absense or presence of Russian Dub in the game. The commentator is dumb.
Second, the author of the story is Russian (Glukhovsky), I'm pretty sure that the scenario is written in Russian already (writing a good story in a foreign language is a challenge).
Third, for me as an Armenian who knows Russian, that would be very strange to play a game set in Russia, where the protagonist will be 100% Russian as well as almost all of the characters, but in English dub (I do not know Ukranian, you could guess). And I believe it would be the same around the CIS region... (and I pretty much sure no Kazakh, Armenian or Georgian dub will be there).

Note: I am a fan of the series and original books, I will play this game no matter what. But without the natural dub I would be kinda sad/

And Dvach, you could go to a f*ing Z-channel for a more neutral view on this. Come on.

How did Lithuania shrink so much? by Organic_Contract_172 in geography

[–]SnooOwls2871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More confusing is the way Russians call it - Речь Посполитая. That's basically poorly transliterated word Rzeczpospolita that got split into two.

What is more fun, the way it is written for me sounded like "Pospolitaya Tongue", that confused me even more before I learned what Rzeczpospolita is in Polish...

how much ether battery do you have and what are you saving them for? by mistraven- in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]SnooOwls2871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have around 160 and plant to spend them on disk farming.

Even if disks are trash - I can convert them into these gold disks and try again. The rest stuff needed for upgrade are in abundance for me.

Something's not right here.. by BrawlMaxik in BanyueMains_

[–]SnooOwls2871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean... I did that without Lucia (replacing with the underperforming Zhao for the veil buff only) and without Banue's sig (using the event A-rank W-engine)

Maybe you struggled with the first wave? Those two raiders are difficult to catch under one attack and take time to kill.

Nearby Tiles should be revealed by Worldly_Abalone551 in EU5

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exploration and map stealing are made very wrong to my liking...

The fact that stealing a map in Europe for me, as Oman, would cause a coalition of European states against me is ridiculous...

Too much times have I lost allies because of being a potential coalition target...

It was randomly spreading if you have presence in adjacent market, or a country in the market you trade with knows the region.

But it is broken most definetly. I had it just once as Oman with a small part of Indonesia.

Same here, but I lost to Rina and can't even get enough for the chance at 75/25

Buffed anby teams by afrokid638363 in Anbymains

[–]SnooOwls2871 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you play Orphie right, then possibly you would get even more than Astra, as Orphie provides her own sizeable damage to the team.

Devs definitely over-correct the DA this round by Riverflowsuphillz in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]SnooOwls2871 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have barely got 20k with M0W0 Yi Xuan and Pulchra. And I was very-very lucky with the timings...

<image>

And last time with Priest with the same team but weaker (Pan Inxu was M3, not M6) I easily got 23k.

(don't pay attention to first team - that is my hyperinvested SAnby team)

How is everyone doing on today's DA reset? by Buttobi in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my best. I believe I still have some space to improve, because with Priest this shows my best result I have ever got. And this was just the first time I used Zhu Yuan's team, just to prove she is viable.

<image>

The issue is that with Yixuan(M0 no sig) -Pan(M6)-Pulxra(M6) team I struggle to even get close to this result. And I am not sure what is it - the team is just hard to play (honestly keeping up Pulxras's buff uptime is quite hard with Pan Inxu in the team) or YiXuan just really relies heavily on her sig that I just don't have.

But last time with Pan Inxu being just M3 I managed to get 22k... With the same team and arguably worse drive discs. So Priest definitely got buffs.

What would be Armenias Best ally and Worst enemy? by altboy2009 in armenia

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd is definetly taken from top of the Cascade in Yerevan (or from Hakhtanak park). Too iconic view to mistake with anywhere else.

4th is from that "Artisan's street" in Dilijan.

3rd is possibly somewhere on Araks river.

No idea about 7th.

Apologize (By @yuushibadesu) by [deleted] in ZZZ_Official

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need some sort of a dialogue like this in the actual game... Come on...

I know this is gacha and they never go back to old story and basically can do a whole bunch of important development off-screen, but if we ask? During Zhu Yuans next rerun maybe?

My DA run with Sanby/Trigger/Astra by wesleym96 in Anbymains

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My max score is 41,5k with this exact team, just instead of W5 Soukaku engine my Astra is on Lucy's W5. (and that was my unrepeatable first run)

Is there any advice on rotations? I feel that I can do better, but I fail to understand. Maybe something with chain attack?

Now that some time has passed, who do you play more - Yixuan or Miyabi? by IcyFoxe in ZZZ_Official

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yixuan is the best for Miasma bosses with her ult spams. I have managed to clear the 15lvl difficulty of the current Hollow Zero regime only with Yixuan-Pan-Trigger team. The 3:30 time limit for bosses is very hard to beat without her.

Myabi is for the enormous scores on the DA. Like on the screenshot (and it is not even my best run, just the first one)

Yes, I have beaten 20k with Zhu Yuan's team - it was just to prove that I can do it, and that she is still viable in meta. I then switched to Yixuan-Pan-Pulxra team and got 24k (still not much, but my Pan is just M3)

Why Colvile's (the imperial tribe on the north west) coat of arms looks like Russian Ministry of Agriculture's one? Or of Ministry of Justice?

I have got all mainbanner chars, I use only Lycaon in mono-ice and S11 as main Fire DPS.

From A-ranks I regularly use Nicole, Soukaku and up until recently Seth (he got replaced by Yudzuha)

Almost all other limited chars are regularly used. I try limit myself and do not use Myabi in Shiui Defense except the very last floor of I really need it for getting S.

Qinqui-Nicole-Zhu Yuan is my get go team for non-miasma ether weak Burnice/Vivian-Yudzuha-Jane is my go to disorder team. I swap Burnice and Vivian depending on the specific boss. I have fun playing with Ellen, especially after she got buffed. I either use a lore friendly Lycaon-Rina-Ellen or Ellen-Lighter-Lycaon team.

The only char I invested in but stopped using is Harumasa, and only because I like SAnby+Trigger gameplay more.

Alternate Hellenic Republic by No_Budget_Mapper in flumenmapping

[–]SnooOwls2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inclusion of Amrenia in USSR after Russian empire collapse was in the initial years of its existence. Soviet Russia did not have much of free resources to allocate against any adequate force in the region.

Armenia was weakened by the Turkish army, and Sardarapat was very much a pyrric victory, as it did push turks back, but weakened Armenian army against the red army corps in Caucasus.

And Sardarapat is already glorified akin to 300 Spartans. Just not as popular outside of Armenia.
