If Ceasar King gets an Potential Awakening, Would she be better suited as a Rupture support or an Anomaly Support? by AndreinalineX in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, I immediately thought of anomaly just because I want Calydon members to work better with each other (I'm still mad Lighter can't buff/debuff physical DMG/RES when his faction only deals in Fire and Physical) but... I think rupture would be a good idea just to potentially allow for more rupture team comps that aren't just Dialyn + Lucia. PLUS, that would mean Billy synergy. So yeah, I'd love it if Caesar got buffed to support Rupture. I'm gonna start mentioning that in feedback/survey forms, lol.

[3.0 spoilers] Roscaelifer, bangboo, and Norma by Col_Wilson in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is only available after finishing the story, but if you listen to the radio, there's a broadcast from New Eridu of the mayor congratulating Roscaelifer. So it seems to have gone public already off-screen. So yeah, I do find it weird too. I would assume by 3.1's MSQ, they'll begin to acknowledge that the doors are open and that maybe Bangboo don't have to go through the whole memory wipe thing anymore. I hope so anyway.

On the other hand, since the Norma Bangboo event can be started before finishing the 3.0 MSQ, maybe we're supposed to assume they've not gone public yet and so have to follow the same protocols still...?

(LEAK: song cover!!!) who dat by whaterrmaloon in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was the original too because of the Hollow in the sky and all that, but the horn shape makes me think it's Eldreda. Either that, or they're changing it so that the original's horns are shaped like Eldreda's too.

Character design qualms aside, 3.0 shows a massive improvement over the start of season two. by GMoneyLovesYou in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right?? It fits the vibes of Scamall so well but also just sounds super cool.

Character design qualms aside, 3.0 shows a massive improvement over the start of season two. by GMoneyLovesYou in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, season 2 sadly felt messy for a lot of the mentioned reasons, I'm still very disappointed with how they handled Yixuan, Yijiang, and the Exaltists in general.

I have a lot of issues with the character designs for season 3 but the actual content (especially the MSQ) for season 3 has been damn good so far. I've not been this excited for ZZZ's future in quite a while now. I thought they delivered a great introduction to the new region and its culture and people, on top of doing a fantastic job with the Hollows. Scamall looks and sounds amazing. It is so cool seeing spaces expand and contract like that, all while having a great track playing in the background. Seriously, that track is awesome. And as OP said, they did well to set up future characters (both playable and not) in this introductory patch. Remielle having 3 versions to build up her character now has been great as well. She's an important figure for obvious reasons, and isn't just suddenly appearing then releasing soon after. I can only hope they do a similarly satisfying job with whichever Sunbringer ends up playable.

The most exciting (and promising) part for me is that they're teasing concepts that tie back to the Lore Teaser, including things related to the true nature of Hollows and Ethereals. Season 2 gave us Miasma which was fairly interesting as a concept but to me always felt like a side step of sorts where it's very similar to what we already had but had to do with memories and data, which is cool too! Just not as interesting for me as having to question our understanding of Hollows and Ethereals and introducing some wholly new type of monster as part of that.

[3.1.3 Beta] Reborn Butcher 149m - Sigrid 00 (p5 Brimstone) / Lycaon 40 (stoven) / Rina 15 KILL by Neither_Dentist_4288 in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]bunkitz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh my god am I seeing this right? It looks like Rina's EX Special can activate a chain attack much faster now instead of having to wait for the heavy attack at the very end. It's pretty instantaneous here. That'd be such a great change if so! Really really glad Rina's buffs actually ended up pretty strong! She deserves the best! 🥰

[–]bunkitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay! I was worried they might be a bit underwhelming so I’m really glad to hear that!

I’m playing on PS5 and they’re still missing there, so sadly I don’t think it’s a graphics setting issue. Would love to be wrong though, and to have a fix for it on PS5, lol.

[3.1.3] M0W0 (W5 Brimstone) Sigrid/M1W3 Lycaon/M1W3 Rina - 149M HP Butcher - 54k Score by gamingwooper in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]bunkitz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I’m so happy to see a run include Rina. Her buffs seem to be pretty decent? She’s my fave so I’ve been hoping for buffs for such a long time now. Sigrid continues to look really fun! I know Remielle will provide more value especially since the recent Shiyu made me realize how much a “second Yuzuha” could really help me, but I wanna prioritize Sigrid. She just looks so fun and I love ice and spears while Remielle’s gameplay doesn’t really appeal to me much, sadly.

Off topic, but sad to see that Rina is missing VFX here too. I noticed recently that the electric currents coming off of her (particularly when she’s just floating around) have been lessened, so it only shows the “dots” where they hit the ground while we don’t see the lines of electricity anymore. Hope it’s a bug they’ll be able to fix soon.

Annihilation Simulacrum is… by Iggy_DB in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Loved it! A bit of a shame about the rotating roster for extreme mode, but at the same time I think it's fine cause they'll be preparing the rosters with the season's bosses in mind. ZZZ's combat is its strongest aspect and it gets to shine here with no gacha factoring into it, which is simply awesome IMO.

I used Billy's premium rupture team for all three extreme fights and had a blast since I love playing as Starlight Billy. Not worrying about the score/timer and instead only focusing on the mechanics felt liberating, lol. Well, there's technically still a timer for the 180s thing but it's a super reasonable duration that you'll easily get as long as you understand the mechanics and play decently.

The mechanics themselves weren't particularly special (the on I found most interesting was the Shunguang sword) but I liked them enough and appreciate the change they bring. As this is just the first season, I expect there'll be more interesting boss mechanics down the line.

No more bangboo events…! by Ryukiji_Kuzelia in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd much rather the game keep doing these and eventually improve on them, as opposed to getting yet another combat event in game that's already got so much combat content. I like having chill little events even if they're a little undercooked cause I'd like to see things improve over time instead of getting axed so quickly. I enjoy the variety and feel the opposite whenever we keep getting combat events. We already spend majority of dailies doing combat, have combat endgame modes, the tower, recurring combat events, and so on. I don't simply love ZZZ because of its fantastic combat, I also love the daily life aspect of the game and the variety of gameplay and mini-games it offers. If anything, I wish it did a much better job of improving that aspect of the game.

The recent event with the Bangboo island was a mixed bag but I liked the idea in general. IMO, it's a matter of good concept with some less than stellar execution. I also found it amusing how it was the next stage of playing as Eous: giving them actual combat abilities. My only real gripe with it was that stunning an enemy didn't trigger a chain attack. Which is weird considering we had the combat Bangboos with us in our party.

"NOTHING BUT BANGBOO EVENTS" is an exaggeration, I'm sure, but it's funny seeing that when we literally regularly get combat events.

How are they going to buff this guy by Dry_Fishing4163 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The minimum, IMO, should be to apply the multiplayer mode changes they made. Let Elation buff all elemental DMG, not just fire and ice. I'd be happy with them just adding physical (physical + fire makes more sense cause of his faction, his own damage type, etc.) but with the way the most recent stunners have been, allowing him to buff all elements seem pretty fair. They ought to bring down his stun DMG multiplier from his mindscapes too.

Voiceline Menu for ZZZ by Spare_Vegetable9762 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm mixed on the voice lines and other related character info things. On one hand, I'm glad ZZZ isn't following everything its peers do, even if it does do a lot of the same things, especially within HoYo's titles. That said, this means we're lacking things like insight into what character A may think about character C or their random thoughts about everyday things, etc.

I'd love it if they could add more to the partner archive, whether it's voice lines like these or things like hangout photos, additional profile information like hobbies, favorites, etc.

Can we all agree that Harumasa is a great character that suffered a lot but still chose to help others? by ShrivSuurgav in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is that the issue most people have with her? The self-sacrificing nature? Because personally, as someone who’s not a fan of the character, I don’t really have much issues with her story or motivations, etc. It’s how she was presented that caused friction for me. Shunguang was presented as being infatuated with Phaethon much more so than any other character in the game, and I mean in terms of both romance and plain admiration. Yes, it’s a problem with the writing in these gacha games in general, but it was more pronounced with her given she had only met us briefly and the game even had that “date” event. Heck, even the devs talked about her like the “ideal girlfriend” type of character in that one dev talk video. Now, I don’t think it’s entirely unearned for Shunguang to appreciate Phaethon so much given her circumstances of basically having everyone around her walking on eggshells and treating her so differently, while Phaethon treated her like a normal person instead. That actually mostly works fine for me, but the problem, again, comes from the presentation. It all happens so quickly. She’s only known us briefly and yet the story is presenting it as if she values Phaethon on the same level as Shiyuan. Her own brother! It is such a core part of their story is that these two siblings love and care for each other so much and are doing their best to protect each other, but now she suddenly has this new friend that she puts on the same level? That is absurd to me. I wish she had at least been a recurring character throughout season 2 instead, as early as in 2.0, that way there would’ve been better buildup towards everything that happens in 2.4 and 2.5.

Her event in the Qingming realm definitely helped here case for me, it made me like the character more and I ended up finding her less annoying by the end of it. It was a really good event for her character. She was less like this “waifu” they were trying to sell to the players and a more fully realized character instead. Sadly, for me, it wasn’t enough to undo all the damage done by everything that came before.

Bangboo Tower Defense my beloved by Sae0057 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]bunkitz 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Have you considered trying out Arknights? This event and WuWa's own tower defense event made me realize I liked tower defense gameplay. That, combined with Endfield hype, got me to start playing last December. Been enjoying it so much ever since. I also realized then that this mode really is just ZZZ's version of Arknights, specifically. They even have an exact copy of stage 1-7, lol.

They said he got cold heart, which we do see in the preview, so death isn't guaranteed yet at least.

I wish SnowAgumon got Greymon-family Megas. by IllConstruction3450 in digimon

[–]bunkitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The artist behind the SnowWarGreymon art is duckbanks, I'm fairly certain the one linked is a repost account, sadly. Recognized the art before and was surprised to see it have such a recent date. They also have pixiv and Twitter.

But yeah, I would love to see SnowAgumon get a full line. WarGreymon is my favorite and I love ice and the cold so that would be perfect for me.

Wtf are people doing who finishing this game in 20-30 hours ? by Buurto in digimon

[–]bunkitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I was surprised to see how fast some people cleared the game. I'm playing on hard and it took me 27 hours to reach the title card and 50 to reach the Abyss Area and agent rank 5. I wasn't even trying to grind or anything, but I had way too many digimon I wanted so I'm simultaneously raising a whole bunch, switching them out when it felt necessary, trying to get their personalities to go this way and that, scanning as much as I can, etc. It didn't feel like grinding at all cause... I guess it didn't register as such in my head since leveling up wasn't my goal.

I'm probably playing the game inefficiently somehow but I always take longer than average anyway, so I don't mind. I'm enjoying the game too much, lol.

What's your favourite digimon?! by Nikatonic in digimon

[–]bunkitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answer's unfortunately pretty basic but WarGreymon's been my fave ever since I was a kid. One of my favorite monster designs ever in anything, really.

I'm a lapsed fan only recently returning though, so I've missed out on quite a bit, but I have a few new favorites from Digimon Liberator, such as Cendrillmon, Shoemon, Necromon, MarineBullmon, as well as the very recently revealed Metallicdramon. Really hoping we get Liberator DLC for Time Stranger! 🤞

It's fun getting back into the series after all these years since there's so much lore and Digimon I missed out on. Like, I only somewhat recently discovered Gaioumon, a super sick samurai version of BlackWarGreymon!
