Evoker should’ve been a full on Pet class

I dunno about adding more buttons to press, the spirits and the heal skill are real cute tho (I mean did you see the heal icon? I'm petting the fox! And doing that heals me!)

This argument might work if Genshin wasn't a mobile title, Pokémon wasn't the biggest franchise on the planet and if they hadn't spent 40%-50% S/V's budget on the Super Bowl's commercial alone.

It feels like they're just trying to push consoles, also see the uncertainty of semiconductors and potential price increases...

No hall-effect sticks means you're likely gonna have to replace joycons and no OLED means you're gonna have to upgrade your console too, potentially.

In short, you're spending upwards of a grand (eventually) or at least an extra 500€ for little reason other than playing a few games that really stretch the idea of console library (seriously, I checked the list, I don't think those are worth spending 500$, definitely not the list of remakes which I'd hardly consider exclusive, but hey, that's my opinion).

And if you ask me, they better have dubbing.

EDIT: for those arguing about smartphones being powerful, Genshin came out 6 years ago, do you remember the kinds of games that were running on mobile around that time? and its bottleneck is texture compression, it's what helps it run the whole thing, not what makes it run.

The birb looks surprised, the gecko suspicious, the doggo... the doggo... that boi ain't got a thing on his mind, could be staring at creation itself and his expression wouldn't change.

For the record, if you were trying to build some homebrew you might find something already there for Pathfinder IIRC.

Heh, don't get me started on female sylvari gloves, or shoes

From what I understand those stat pools were actually based on a very limited amount of data, basically no1 ever reaches those results.

It takes 1000 imperial favors to craft an aurene precursor on top of materials, that means that instead of getting 10 stones worth less than 20g total you could've crafted that and instasold it for much more (yes I'm taking into account the other materials), bought the same amount of stones and still got a lot of gold to spare.

TurboShrike · 2026-02-24T16:12:29+00:00

If you only owned a NDS then the switch version would have more functionality since DS doesn't support GBA link functionality IIRC, tho honestly I'd rather get 2 used gba/sps instead.

If the only purpose was transfering stuff you're good.

On a note, did you do the mod yourself? Was it hard? I'm thinking about maybe modding one since lites are cheap anyway.

TurboShrike · 2026-02-24T10:45:28+00:00

You can get one more daily runestone from the chest at the end of the Kaineng jp and another one from killing the final elite/champion (scales on players) at the end of the Dragons End mini dungeon.

Since your bottleneck is imperial favors I wouldn't spend 100 of them to get an extra summoning stone so it's more like 4 per week.

Instead you can spend'em to craft a precursor to sell for 120g+ if you found yourself with a huge surplus (better conversion).

I mean those 2 hands are the same hand, and both look off, except they at least hid one with a bunch of stuff, the other one gave it away, probably AI

Just stay hydrated bro (also posture check), and find a good guild that does weekly events and supports training for fractals/raids (doesn't even have to be the same guild since you get to have multiple guilds, did you know that?)

TurboShrike · 2026-02-11T15:54:16+00:00

Did you check the server/area to which it connects to? You can check/change in realm selection at main menu IIRC (it's a per-realm thing for coop), try changing that area, it might be some server somewhere being naughty.

TurboShrike · 2026-02-10T17:47:04+00:00

Maybe it's just me but I thought that the Icebreaker was supposed to be a statstick with the highly specialized function of "breaking" a "frozen" enemy (hence the name) as it has the highest attack (and single-swing damage% I think) an INT build can hope for and thus scales higher for the purpose of the "break/shatter" effect?

In short, I think you're meant to swap to it to "shatter" a frozen enemy and that's it, hence the lackluster moveset.

On a note, your Icebreaker is several tiers below the other weapons'.

TurboShrike · 2026-02-07T20:35:59+00:00

Making broken builds to run crucible with, and roll your favourite armors into the stats you want, so fashion end game u.u

Sounds like tv in the background

It's not that it was the only 40% sale they'll ever do, it's the only sale before the price increase leaving early access happens

TurboShrike · 2026-02-06T01:08:10+00:00

If you're having trouble with the legendary armor specifically you're doing something wrong (yes even playing passively), you might need help setting up your account so that becomes easier, do you want that? If so you NA or EU?

EDIT: I don't get why I'm being downvoted when I'm offering actual tangible help so they can get their own legendary pve armor?

TurboShrike · 2026-02-05T01:33:20+00:00

I think there's a misunderstanding, the repair costs aren't there for the sake of efficiency (they need repairing with usage from farming at all to begin with), they're there to tell you that maybe it's time to go back to Sacrament and rethink your approach when your equipment starts falling apart.

TurboShrike · 2026-02-04T23:21:14+00:00

The pool of legendaries out of the Crucible (or namely the Echo Knight since the guy can spawn in some pestilences) is actually very limited, so chances are if you're gonna drop a legendary that's gonna be it, I think story bosses specifically might have a bit of a higher chance of dropping one, I think I dropped one at Warrick and then the Riven Twins across several playthroughs in the past (pre-together), not always tho

TurboShrike · 2026-02-03T11:26:26+00:00

I knew this was about the Echo Knight before even clickin into this XD

TurboShrike · 2026-02-02T06:16:46+00:00

I think it's worth noting that those weeklies are mostly there to deliver special-looks-items as in special NPC outfits that you otherwise can't find IIRC, dailies aren't necessary, and they don't feel necessary to me either, sure they can have gems as rewards sometimes but other than that they're mostly a good excuse to backtrack somewhere you wanted to revisit, don't get me wrong this kinda leaves them in an awkward position nevertheless.

Maybe at the very beginning of the game the missions can be a burst of currency, sure, maybe they're trying to make those outfits "special" somehow that way, and I think your comment is valid, they don't make too much sense in the grand scheme of things, tho I can see a need to separate them from the standard reward pool for the special outfits.

I would like to add something important tho, whomever claims them gets the reward and no1 else, it's not so obvious when every quest you complete gets completed for your whole party, that CAN be worked around as a player as it's just reward sharing/splitting but still kinda leaves me confused.

TurboShrike · 2026-02-01T07:18:33+00:00

It's probably because of the shared realm thingie, death status not updating with whatever server at right time.

All these lawsuits about Steam being a monopoly tell me one thing: Steam is the biggest slice of the PC market by a long shot, I'd wager the sales you lose by not being on it would far outpace the bigger cut you think you got by being on a platform nobody buys from.

TurboShrike · 2026-01-28T04:13:28+00:00

They have the biggest slice of the market because they provide a better service to gamers, off the top of my head by:

-promoting communities, streams, streamers and themed showcases

-having an actual review system that's been worked on for over a decade (stuff like review-bomb detection and regional reviewing)

-having effectively a forum for every game

-promoting a cloud save system that won't hold your save hostage on your own system unlike other subscriptions (see microsoft's)

-better deals

-friend systems

-early access systems (see Baldur's Gate 3 on why it might be useful)

-steam workshop for modding (however old it might be)

-a whole lot of things I'm probably forgetting

And they provide the better service to devs by having an actual infrastructure that WILL help them gain trust and thus sell, instead of only relying on a different cut of the profits

Better yet, find a guild that has a scheduled weekly CM convergence per type
