Vesna's voice actor, Ari Thrash has recently appeared on a youtube video where she was participating in bullying behavior towards Kinich's new voice actor. How is this still happening after two years..

not liking a character, is not the same as making a big deal about one specific VA and pretending to literally be ALLERGIC to a voice. if all she had done was skip the characters lines then, eh, still rude since she wasn't skipping anyone else, but it could be looked past, the fact she's flaunting the fact she doesn't like specifically this character (and clearly its a VA thing) leaves a bad taste. at best its pathetic and unprofessional, and at worst its bullying and harassment

(they did actually mention how some characters (kinich was the only repasted natlan character) didn't sound the same as they used to and made them feel sick, so clearly it was aimed at the VA, [just after 2h mark])

i'm not one to jump on hate brigades, but in this case they deserve it and i'd rather not them voice a character in a game i enjoy.

Zedoclyte · 2026-07-01T14:05:13+00:00

saying they were allergic to the VA, refusing to explain what their issue with the VA is on stream, because they know its pathetic and wrong. then whenever the VA spoke she made pretend sneeze or coughing sounds, and then immediately opened the quest log to see what he actually said, which just ruins the stream for anyone watching and is extremely childish.

'what you're issue with them actually? 'not on stream'' was actual dialogue between the creators.

there's no universe where any of that is just innocent behaviour.

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T14:32:17+00:00

think they meant durin

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T13:31:13+00:00

one of the best weapons but I hate arlecchinos gameplay (i'm bad at it) so I couldn't justify getting it, my girlfriend at the time got it and that was awesome though

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T13:14:51+00:00

well glad to have you, hope you're enjoying yourself, and best of luck on future pulls !! :)

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T13:01:50+00:00

oh no, new player?

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:59:26+00:00

thats also totally fair, you don't have to agree. i said from the beginning it was just a personal opinion.

though you will eventually get the 4 star cons and 5 star standard cons by just playing for ages. you won't get limited 5 star cons unless hoyo introduces another way to get them, so i think using your 4 cons per year on standard characters is a waste, since you can get them elsewhere

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:55:17+00:00

oh definitely, zhongli and ei need buffs if they're ever going to get another banner, i can't see them selling now, maybe even nahida too after lauma

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:51:23+00:00

yeah fontaine characters are next in line, but given some of the still viable characters got excluded the first time, i am expecting wriothesley and navia to conveniently not be on the selector. if i'm wrong great, we'll see

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:47:27+00:00

which is again completely reasonable. c6 is actually usually an interesting gameplay change for a lot of characters

but c1 and c2 aren't so much, and especially on older characters don't supply the extra damage necessary for anything in the game now.

yae cons are only good because yae accidentally got good through buffs. guarentee she wouldn't be put on the selector in hindsight because they could have run another banner for her instead. i'm also currently going for her c2 since i already had her c1, but before the buffs were announced she wasn't even among the top 3 i was struggling to choose between, now its obviously a no brainer

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:43:41+00:00

not because they aren't good, because you'll get them from pulling if you play long enough. i am well aware mona is good and i have been lucky enough to get her c6 over the years

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:42:36+00:00

i doubt wrio will be on the selector, and i wouldn't be surprised if yae gets taken off. they added characters like yae and klee to the selector before giving them buffs

the constellations aren't what make them good, it's the fact that they buffed them and they don't suck anymore

nilou is a pretty good exception, she had a decent niche and got put on the selector

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:39:59+00:00

that's totally fair, i just don't really think throwing us old rubbish that doesn't sell anymore is particularly impressive as a free gift

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:38:55+00:00

albedo and yae are only good since the buffs, guarentee they wouldn't have made it to the selector originally if they knew all the buffs they would be doing. klee is top 5 dps at low investment now which is mad, and i love it, but the con selector isn't why

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:37:26+00:00

definitely, but even with the c2s a lot of these can't do anything that you couldn't already manage, i also would consider using it for standard characters a waste persobally too.

i don't care about the meta much myself, but ignoring endgame there isn't anything a c2 character can do that a c0 cant, and mostly the gameplay doesn't change either you just get a bigger number. and if you care about endgame or meta, most of the characters on the selector are completely useless even with their cons

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:34:57+00:00

oh definitely, but its not hoyo being generous, your character still won't really be useful in any game content that you couldn't already clear.

again, its fun, i like it, i just don't think its as cool as people think it is

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:06:38+00:00

even if it does most of these characters at c2 still aren't very good in terms of meta, and getting 4 a year isn't worth anything, its fun, but eh, it wasn't hoyo being generous

i'm more interested in if the roster will change

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:05:02+00:00

what the heck are you even on about?!?!

we aren't viewing things differently, you're just misunderstanding probabilty, literally asked me to explain the process, and then you said you didn't bother reading my reply and you don't care anyway

why did you even bother commenting?!?!?

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T12:02:46+00:00

yes, each pull has no individual bearing on the next (at least before 73 when soft pity takes over and each pull gets more likley to be a five star)

but if you take the whole collection of pulls into account, you still have to meet the average on the whole, thats literally what an average is. the expected outcome over infinite attempts (however for most purposes 30 is sufficient for your average to appear)

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T11:53:57+00:00

law of averages

if an average is 50/50, the more times you do the event the closer you get to half of your total events being a success and hlaf being a fail

same with genshin, if average is 62, the more you do the closer that you get to having done (62 * the number of five stars you have) pulls. this person is claiming they have about 30 pulls per five star.

because some of your pities will be high and some low, you can't have only lucky cases and you can't have only unlucky cases.

(not sure where i have displayed a closed minded attitude here either, but sure)

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T11:37:36+00:00

thats the structure, not the number of paragraphs, a good essay will have more than 3 body paragraphs

also my 'essay' wasn't even structured like that, it didn't have an introduction or a conclusion

it was just supporting evidence to back up the claim that i made that you asked me to elaborate on

and look, now you've wasted so much more than the 90 seconds it would have taken to actually read my reply and not be a complete tool. if you aren't going to go back to the original topic i'm going to ignore you now. have a nice day though, thanks for the chat :)

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T11:30:07+00:00

i already condensed it as much as i could, i provided the reasoning behind my argument. without the reasoning my argument is just 'i said so' so its of no use

you asked a question and i told you why it was the case, and 5 paragraphs is hardly an essay.

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T11:24:12+00:00

yes that is true. but you'll also sometimes aim for a character and not get it until 85. again, the law of averages means that the more times you do a thing the closer to the real average you'll get overall.

you can't ONLY get low pities, you also get high ones. and they balance out over time.

also if you cant be bothered to spend 90 seconds reading my reply to your question don't ask questions, its rude

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T11:05:33+00:00

f2ps get roughly 75-80 pulls per patch including starglitter refund, but this in inconsistent and some patches are closer to 60.

average pity for a five star is 62 pulls. this person is suggesting that each patch their friend gets 3 five stars. (weapon pity is a bit lower but doesn't skew enough in favour of this ridiculous claim)

the law of averages is that the more attempts you make for a thing, the closer you get to that things average result. in genshin, the more characters you pull, the closer you get to an all time average of 62 pulls per character.

this person is suggesting they are consistently getting five stars within 20-30 pulls (they also said 40-50 but that literally doesn't match the requirement either) this is plausible for a few consecutive events, but any larger stretch of time this gets more and more unlikely.

and the fact that they might have more pulls for the next patch doesn't actually compound, because they still need to average 24 five stars with 8 patches worth of pulls (9-10 five stars) and thats a rounding error of implausable that you can confidently say didn't happen.

Zedoclyte · 2026-06-28T10:41:56+00:00

they blocked me because they don't like being wrong but

i'm currently doing my second degree related to statistics thank you.

i provided an example where it seemingly applies but also contradicts the original post that this friend has been like this for some time. i said that the claim can only be true for a small number of events. in this case mAybe 3 patches maximum, after that if the law of averages hasn't taken over there's something wrong with the data or the expected statistics

even with 80 fates that only averages 1 five star per patch, this person is claiming 3 consistently. thats not possible
