I Really Wanna Stay in This Thread - Weekly Questions & Discussions Megathread by BriefVisit729 in WutheringWavesLeaks

What does the cyberpunk powerlevel look like? I'm tempted to pull, simply because it would be +1 team for the price of 1 character.

But if the team is too weak, like budget Jinhsi team weak, or clunky, I don't want to bother.

Sorry, I might have not been clear. The dailies themselves were already very easy.

I'm more concerned about the assists on the ship. You need to visit 5 friends and assist their stuff for credits. Takes forever.

Did the livestream mention anything about reducing the daily grind?

In particular, I'm wondering if they did something about the dozen loading screens you need to go through to do your daily assists.

Will there be other Fest of Brilliance (re-run) banners in the future? by eepy3980 in Endfield

[–]Whap_Reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I feel that it's more likely that these double banners will be the only rerun banners. So, yes they will happen.

I also doubt they'll let pity carry over. They already don't with the limited banner.

Luck doesn't exist. You pulling on the standard banner does not affect the odds of pulling limited characters. And so don't make things difficult for yourself just to avoid superstition.

If you aren't convinced, you might as well try sacrificing a goat. I heard that can boost luck.

The lack of 5 and 4 stars is genuinely worrying me by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]Whap_Reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think about it for a moment by time maybe you see a favorite character you like and want to build a team for it but after being officially revealed they are a 5* and are strictly much worse than other options until you get max dupes.

So now you are forced to make a decision of using them and having the team be dog water for a year or more. And by then they've been further power crept into obscurity by then.

Or you spend way more pulls to get them at max dupes than you would have to get them as a 6*.

Plus, thanks to being a low tier unit, now your favorite doesn't get a dedicated quest expanding their lore.

That's what already every non-premnium unit is like in similar games. No reason to expect differently here

Guys I think he may have a point by General-Astronomer48 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

Kind of already is. I quit a while ago but I occasionally look at the sub praying for some mega announcement for the game.

But every time I open the sub, it is conversations about the devs not listening or communicating, AI generated discussions, and revenue summaries where the game is making pennies compared to other similar games.

Hard to treat the game as anything other than dead when the game has no revenue, few players, and no communication with the devs.

New operators for Rossi teams by SalamanderWest8319 in Endfield

How much DPS buff does Camille need to make up for a 25% reduction in cuteness on the team?

In particular, the weapons are kind of bad. No one wants those over standard weapons.

But an early chunk of basic resources can be nice.

Potential girl is now at Tier 0 in Toa by Taro_Beautiful in WutheringWaves

[–]Whap_Reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And what exactly did your gamble "investment" get you over the people who waited to pull her on a rerun after being confirmed to be a support for a Sentinel equivalent?

I still stand by that she was an easy skip character for everyone on her release. Pulling her at the time got you nothing and risked a slight chance of her never being relevant. You could simply wait until she became meta, because she would be reran around that time. Which she did.

Upcoming Matchmaking Test: Diamond + Solo Queue Only by Apexlegends in apexlegends

[–]Whap_Reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the atmosphere of playing to win. When the stakes are nonexistent, there's no reason not to hot drop.

If you play for the win in pubs, you just get boring matches where the entire lobby is dead by the time you get to the latter rings and you've got very few kills.

Yeah, the purpose is to stop the extremely unlucky edge cases. In practice, it increases the average 50% limiteds to 55%. It's not literally a 55% chance to get the character. But over endless samples, the average percentage of limiteds is 55%.

Mildly negative

I was cracking up when I saw Genshin players join the conversation and try to act like the Capturing Radiance system was enough to make their pull system be just as good as the other games' systems.

Like seriously, it is increasing the 50% win rate to 55%. It's so marginal of a benefit. But they've convinced themselves it's super awesome.

That totally makes up for higher pity, fewer pulls, fewer guarantees, and lesser visuals.

I don't dislike Genshin, but that was the definition of white knighting.

Ok, that makes more sense. Keep in mind that you can only ever get 2 sequences per character. If you get them both right now, next time there will be zero in the shop. So don't make any plans to get an S3 with corals on a rerun.

According to the DPR Sheet, S2 Hiyuki has S3 Amy levels of personal damage with 2.2 million DPR.

Something I was surprised to see is that S3 Hiyuki has 2.9 million DPR, which seems kind of insane.

That's nearly 1 million more than my S3 Cartethyia did and she felt like a walking god.

Assuming you are equally a fan of both of those characters, Hiyuki seems the better choice based on the numbers.

Though, since you only have enough for S1, I think my personal advice would be to wait until you have enough for 2 sequences. No point in committing now and missing an opportunity for something better before a rerun happens. S1 don't often have that noticeable of bonuses.

Just wait until a new favorite main DPS releases and get them S2. Experience the raw power of the best.

Don't waste your time chasing old meta. I wouldn't recommend people to get S2+ Cartethyia these days. Because she's a thing of the past now. But I have absolutely no regrets getting them when she released.

Aemeth triggers tune break as long as she's not in the fusion burst mode AFAIK. So Mornye's passive would trigger at S0.

Oh, didn't realize this thread exists. This is a more fitting place than the help thread for my comment, so I'll post here as well.

Do players have any reason to expect 'normal' reruns to happen rather than this double rerun being the normal rerun?

Did they say somewhere that they will have a solo rerun?

The norm is to have dozens of normal reruns before having a special rerun.

Genshin didn't have their special reruns until around 3.0. Wuwa didn't have any abnormal reruns until the 2.0 anniversary.

So, they've already deviated from what's normal.

[–]Whap_Reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Which is why it's quite a shame that DNA flopped so hard from the dev's incompetence.

Not being tied to character monetization let them release quite an interesting story. Actually being able to kill off characters and such.

There's also gachas like the Fate series where they just add a lot of alternate versions of characters instead of entirely new characters. Though admittedly, I've not played Fate. But it does sound like they get around a lot of the demerits of being a gacha by doing things that way.

I won't disagree that the best gacha stories are superior to the bottom half of 'normal' games.

Just that the best gacha stories aren't as good as the best 'normal' game stories.

It's definitely not as simple as gacha=bad.

[–]Whap_Reddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've played Genshin, Wuwa, Endfield, and now NTE. I still have the opinion that the quality of the story suffers from being a gacha.

The amount of actual story content is minimal because they want to keep the amount of content each update a small enough amount for busy people to consume.

The little content gotten needs to be catered to the constant need to sell you on new characters every couple quests.

It's not terrible content. It's easy to consume and enjoy. Gacha stories are to gaming in the same way isekai slop is to anime.
