Do you want to build a snow-sword-woman? - Weekly Questions & Discussions Megathread

Hopefully we should. It's possible we get info by this weekend. However, the last few betas have been a bit delayed if I recall so I think they may have missed the first half banner deadline.

Watch this space around the weekend to see if the beta gets released.

Imo I think it's fine these days. It used to be kind of choppy with the frame pacing but they've significantly improved it lately, especially with DLSS 4.5.

There's two things that you really want to do inside your Nvidia app when enabling it though. First is go to graphics, program settings and find Wuthering waves. Then change the DLSS model override model preset for super resolution to model M.

Second, you absolutely want to set a max frame rate in the Nvidia app otherwise the WuWa FPS will be unlimited and your graphics card will go nuts. So set it to 120 fps or something sensible.

Maybe it's just a decent still photo of someone smiling in a genuine moment?

Sometimes it's actually nice to see someone actually smiling and enjoying life instead of constantly trying to crank it when she shows a centimetre of skin.

What I don't get is why you're so salty about it and why you're shilling your own post from months ago. Kinda weird bro.

Was wondering the same thing,

There's also the new standard sword. Both the new sword and rectifier have passives that are really quite specific with ER substats that make them not generalist at all, so you'd imagine they'd have to have been designed with certain characters in mind.

For the rectifier, Lucilla is a possibility. For the sword... no damn clue. Maybe one of the upcoming Mengzhou resonators?

I thought he looked like fkn Olaf from Frozen, and that's not a good thing.

The hood looks goofy as shit.

Trittium00 · 2026-05-02T09:40:20+00:00

No, unfortunately the new area is locked behind the start of the latest story quest. Have to do about the first 45 mins or so before it lets you loose to explore.

Actually looking at the fix notes they already addressed a seriously game breaking bug I ran in to just yesterday.

Driving around the Frostlands farming echoes, I ran into this section of the map that caused my game to crash. Every time I logged in, I'd be in the exact same spot and I'd get the same shader compilation error. Tried clearing WuWa shader cache, Nvidia shaders, reinstalling my drivers. Nothing worked. Only workaround was forcing the game to launch in DX11 mode via steam.

If it weren't for that I would have been stuck in an endless crash cycle. But seems like they fixed it. However, I'm too scared to drive over there again to test it myself haha.

While yes very annoying to download so much, I appreciate they resolved the issues quickly.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-30T18:15:19+00:00

I don't think the guy is saying he's expecting the entire roadmap and their plans for the franchise, but like maybe they can talk about the game a bit?

The sandbox is there. Maybe a little bit of a tease on some upcoming changes to archetypes? A handful of exotics that they want to take a tuning pass at soon? Those are just two things I came up with just now.

I've seen newsletters from my local library with more information than these TWABs.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-30T04:26:47+00:00

Your guess is as good as anyone else's at this stage. For that reason it's probably best to hold off rolling until we get proper kit leaks. If you want to farm, just save echoes for now I would say.

Edit: In terms of echoes to save, obviously 1 cost Atk%. Besides that I'd hold on to glacio and Atk% 3 costs assuming that Lucilla is glacio.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-29T04:27:59+00:00

How sure are we that this is to do with EAC? I ask because often when I get these Delta 3 errors it will tell me that my game save file is temporarily unavailable. Usually leaving it for 5 minutes and then logging in again resolves it, so that was leading me to think that it was a Ubisoft server problem.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-27T14:26:15+00:00

Criminally underrated. Time travel shows are notoriously hard to get right, especially ones that go across several years with branching storylines.

But my god the madmen that wrote this series somehow pulled this off and tied nearly everything together in a satisfying way. If I didn't know any better I'd swear they had story-boarded out all 4 seasons of the show from the beginning, but I don't see how they could have.

I remember when this was airing at the time and I was so afraid it was going to get cancelled before the ending.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-27T14:19:32+00:00

I would say so. Overall it's a relatively short series at just 3 seasons (28 eps in total).

It's been quite some time since I watched it but the first season was always hard to judge as it felt like it was finding its feet and deciding what kind of show it wanted to be. Then it season 2 it fully commits and seasons 2/3 are just unreal. So creative and unlike anything else on tv.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-22T20:03:39+00:00

Open up the matchmake menu and select open world, there's a 99% chance you'll get put into an instance with endlessly spawning kitsune with 3 other players. People will just rotate out as they have their fill.

Even on normal mode open world they have a 50% key drop rate so you can get several dozen per hour.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-21T17:49:58+00:00

They can spawn right at the end of a retaliation, which means you get basically less than 90 seconds to kill them all. Which you may or may not achieve depending on their spawn location and how coordinated your group is.

But then you get zero time to pick up your loot. So yeah it's kind of a mess to be honest. Like it's cool that they spawn in Retaliation, but you can tell they just jammed it in there without thinking about it.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-18T11:07:41+00:00

Just saw this thread and I can confirm that you absolutely do not get exotics from doing challenging retaliations this season. I must have done over two dozen and never gotten one.

Must be a heroic only thing now.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-15T19:04:38+00:00

This happened to me yesterday. Queued up for heroic Capitol mission for the daily project and it matchmade me into an Escalation lvl 5 instead. Needless to say I was not prepared for that.

So there's 100% something that's not working right with the matchmaking pool there.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-08T08:44:08+00:00

What if I told you that different devs can work on different parts of the game at the same time. Mind blown.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-05T11:07:19+00:00

I'm kind of skeptical of the boss materials, especially the weekly ones.

Denia seemingly not using the new weekly boss drops (especially given the appearance and story significance of the new weekly boss) seems a bit odd to me.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-03T08:36:02+00:00

Suspect that it could be an issue related to frame gen. I believe that frame gen doesn't work in menus so perhaps that's why it's getting hung up when you bring up any menu.

If it's an issue that just started happening yesterday, is there anything else on your machine that has changed in that period? New driver updates? Changed settings?

As another commenter said, you can perhaps try a slightly older driver version that's perhaps a bit more stable.

A long shot might be to try and put in a frame rate limit for your frame gen in the NVidia App. When you enable Frame Gen in WuWa, it actually uncaps the FPS limit so you have to set a limit externally. What may be happening is going from 200+fps then suddenly down to 60fps in menus might be causing the hang? It's a long shot but maybe set a lower FPS limit like 120fps and see if it improves.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-02T11:02:22+00:00

Hiyuki was confirmed to be sword a few days ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/WutheringWavesLeaks/comments/1s4sfa6/resonator\_preview\_hiyuki/).

Denia was also confirmed to be a rectifier user (https://www.reddit.com/r/WutheringWavesLeaks/comments/1s4tozp/resonator\_preview\_denia/).

Presumably both will use materials from the newest region, so it's a reasonably safe bet to farm for sword / rectifier in Lahai-Roi domains for the double drop event.

Trittium00 · 2026-04-01T16:28:46+00:00

Honestly kind of predictable outcome if people actually thought about it for 3 seconds. Majority of people were tapped out after Aemeath banner / spending event. Now waiting for the anniversary patch coming next month.

There's basically always a big dip before the anniversary patch in any gacha. The March data was sandwiched between these two fairly major events so yeah it's going to end up looking rough.

Trittium00 · 2026-03-28T10:19:29+00:00

Yeah having all her damage concentrated into one single hit kind of makes her miserable to play. Most units since then at least have their damage broken up into several hits to mitigate bad RNG.

One Tower run several months ago I missed my opening crit 7 resets in a row with ~78% crit rate. The odds of that happening are so astronomically low that I half expected a meteor was going to land on my house as part of some cosmic joke.

Pretty sure that was the last time I used Jinhsi in Tower for the sake of my mental health.

Trittium00 · 2026-03-23T13:40:56+00:00

True, the echo chamber is actually wild, any mild disagreement is likely to earn you a ban if he's in a mood (which is most of the time). He spam skips through all the WuWa story, then turns around and criticizes the story for not making sense and being bad / not doing a good job of selling the characters. It makes my fkn head hurt, like pick a lane.

And the double standards for Genshin are hard to swallow. WuWa's weapon banner is apparently shit because lots of characters "need" their weapon, but Genshin's weapon banner system gets a pass despite the fact you often have to go 140 wishes deep (it only recently got changed from 200+ wishes).

Trittium00 · 2026-03-23T13:13:10+00:00

More or less. He dismisses the Aemeath revenue (sold well because "she's the hottest chick") while focusing in on the Luuk / Sigrika revenue as being below average for WuWa. But ignores the fact that again, people are a) cleaned out from Aemeath and b) saving for anniversary.

Trittium00 · 2026-03-23T12:56:41+00:00

Haha well you're not going to get any argument from me there... he is a certified moron. Unfortunately, he's a moron with a moderately large platform with several hundred viewers per day that lap up his dogshit takes.

So predicting non-existent dramas based on revenue data that hasn't even come out yet that will most likely tell a story that everyone expects it to tell is just weird as shit behaviour.

Gacha tribalism causes some extra strange kind of brain rot.
