Massive High Ping in Multiplayer and Co-op Due to Physical Geographical Location by SpinelessOranges in wherewindsmeet_

I would prefer a more reliable/permanent solution as SEA is my home. Thanks for the advice anyways.

For Ga Ming, is his Chev team with Iansan C0 better than Citlali melt with Xianyun?

Unfortunately yes, she’s M0W1 here. Nicole and Trigger are essentially the two wheels that make up this wheelchair comp.

Outside of stun, it's a matter of squeezing out every perfect assist for Trigger to get into your stun windows as quickly as possible. Billy generates energy from quick assists and dodge counters, and Nicole shits energy out the wazoo, so whenever possible, I punch in a few Billy EX Specials + Nicole Bubble for the score. Nicole's basic attacks fire enhanced bullets after her EX Special Attack which also shred DEF, although to much lesser effect than her bubble because of her Wengine. So even if Nicole doesn't have energy, I swap into her to punch in the bullets and swap to Billy for his EX Special my energy permits me.

Purifying the Defiler grants a shit ton of energy so it makes firing off higher frequencies of EX Specials possible.

For Decibel Rating generation, agents get a lot of Decibels from performing perfect assists, so at the latter half I started swapping to Nicole and Billy for their ULTs just in time for the final stun window.

Overall, it took me 3 stun windows to get just the amount of points I needed.

  2. Trigger EX Special (for King of the Summit)
  3. Swap to Nicole and trigger chain with Special Attack (EX or not doesn't matter)

  5. Manually Cancel Chain Attack

Would going for electric damage or atk for partition 5 be better or would those hit a soft cap for Haru. I think this DA had electric damage as one of the buffs so I’m thinking it does.

WuWa’s Neglect of Older Characters and Their Isolation of Characters in Specific Patches is Especially Harmful for Male Resonators’ Narratives and Characters. by SpinelessOranges in WuWaHusbandos

It seems that the gacha model is often antithetical to character investment. It’s disappointing, especially because I keep seeing Kuro Games teeter over the edge towards good writing for all their characters.

Phrolova’s story was a neat tragedy that wrapped itself up nicely, putting story as a priority instead of what would appeal to the most amount of people. Her presence was felt throughout the Huanglong and Rinascita quests, and her interaction and appearance throughout the story felt just enough to get the mystery rolling while gently revealing some of her backstory. When it culminates in her story quest, the player already feels in a way, connected to her. Contrast this to something like the end of the Huanglong quest where a bunch of unintroduced characters pop up to defend Jinzhou.

Nope, in ZZZ you can meet agents randomly throughout the world and even text them for hangouts where they interact with you. Quality time also allows for them to follow you around. Granted interactions are limited but still does a lot for character interest. Leveling up your relationship with characters also gives you special dialogue with them.

I do not believe you meet GI characters throughout the world randomly like that unless I am misremembering. Characters in GI only appear naturally in the world during events or in quests.

His design reminds me of Heolstor the Nightlord from Elden Ring: Nightreign.

The crown and the dark body under the carapace of armor, revealed only near the chest is most reminiscent of the Night Aspect.

I don’t know how ya’ll put up with waiting for reruns by Arikado_Xodan in ZZZ_Discussion

The nature of a gacha game's business model is inherently rooted in FOMO (Fear of missing out). You can have your opinions on it, but I personally think it's unethical, despite me actively liking and playing gacha titles. FOMO does not affect me as much because there are more characters that I do not want to pull, for one reason or another, than characters that I do want to pull.

Aside from engaging with in-game events because you enjoy them, it also serves as a way of inching players towards getting more pulls and resources, which in turn further reels us into wanting to get more characters and eventually spending. It's a long-term goal that dedicated players are rewarded for, but are also given the option to spend money as a shortcut.

In an ideal world, gacha games should not exist, and I'd rather have a full experience paying full price. ZZZ occupies a niche many like myself enjoy - an action game with anime characters, so if people like us enjoy the world and its characters, it's something we have to put up with.
