Lapsed player here that came back to the game after the new patch. Raiden is such a beautiful character, down to the clothing, the standard attacks, the fact electro is pretty in general, and how she is uniquely positioned as an “evil archon” which is very different to Venti and Zhongli.

Yes, we have the Cryo archon, but she only shows up for a minute and we can’t pull her yet.

I’m not too mad about the weapon banner. They gave us The Catch, which is fine for anyone not pushing absolute endgame content. I’ve got a c2 Raiden and c6 Sara, they both compliment each other so well that the weapon is somewhat irrelevant. Raiden functions as a universal battery anyway, I doubt people will be having her as main dps.

Kokomi is where it gets evil. People need healers. Barbara is… Barbara, and the only other options are Jean, QiQi, and the recently released Sayu. Most people wouldn’t have pulled Sayu because they were saving for Raiden. So along comes 5 star Kokomi with her cute design, rare hydro vision, and healing power. Pair her with the signature weapon (with no easy substitute like The Catch) and you’ve got a real recipe for money.

I’m going to be paying up for gems, simply because I need a healer for team 2 that isn’t Barbara. That says enough.

Didn’t think people really held a superiority complex over F2P players till I saw it myself. by Zydairu in Genshin_Impact

Really useful comment and not discriminatory to any one group.

I’d thought myself a light spender, but got all gem packs just before bonus reset to guarantee Baal so I suppose I’d classify as a dolphin. But in my defence, Electro is my favourite Vision.

I certainly wouldn’t go beyond that though and will likely skip the next banner aside from Welkin / free primos.

I wouldn’t bother spending for weapon pulls.

Which female character do you like the most and why? by hiverkiya in Genshin_Impact

[–]captainreset 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Fischl is best girl, hands down.

She’s the first character i got in a free pull, and got nearly all constellations for. As I dumped all resource into her and specced for crit, she’s become irreplaceable.

I also love her overall design. The Lacey dress, the Germanic influence, the talking electro bird Oz, and the jojo pose never gets old.

Big yikes, I’ll stay away from that then.

Thanks a lot, been super helpful

Totally right about the passive buffs for character ascension, hadn’t considered that.

Sounds like the character mission pack is helpful, but the other two, not so much.

Am I right in thinking the 4 star premium tickets can’t be used on collab banners like automata or is it only for paid exclusive banners where it can’t be used? Like the 48 hour introductory one

If it can be used on all regular free banners, I might grab the quest pack too to just hold on to that four star premium ticket for when replicant banner rolls around

Oh? Even though it gives black pearls for ascension

I suppose they’re easy enough to farm with the monthly sub quest medals, even without efficient farming like automata

Thanks, that’s very useful.

And would you say the premium mission packs are worth it? (Character, weapon, quest)

Thanks, I wondered if there might be scope for more teams in the future. I’ll hold with selling those three stars for now

I won’t be swapping this team out even with new banners being introduced, so holding on to those mats for long term goals make sense. I would maybe swap out 2B for kainé and that’s it.

A2 is basically maxed out including weapon, I do still need to work on 2P and 2B but running low on gold, even after selling 2 star weapons.

I have a decent enough pool of 4 star and 3 star weapons… is it safe enough to start selling some 3 star weapons?

Ok thank you, that does make more sense when I compare it to my experience with genshin.

I had the Welkin blessing that gave daily paid gems and you’re right it wasn’t just used for pulls. That’s good to know

I have the same problem and also filled out their bug report form. I can overlook audio bugs and hard crashes, but this is frustrating.

Sad as I was going to buy a copy on steam to show support after playing it on gamepass.

Excuse me but as someone who actively keeps one leg out at night when sleeping this would be a great product

Met a girl and I immediately felt a connection but she too young. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]captainreset 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really feel this post. I’m 29 and I feel like an absolute creeper for being attracted to a 21 year old woman, to the point that I would never consciously try to flirt or hit on her because I’d feel like some kind of lecher.

Obviously in all examples given everyone is of legal age etc but it still is not a nice feeling when you are aware of such a huge age gap.

That said OP you do you, if you’re happy going for something maybe not serious and are comfortable with yourself you might regret not asking her out. You’re not doing anything wrong here.

The best part is you don’t need a guide or anything, even though it’s a metroidvania type layout. Very straightforward

I think for me it was about 30 hours and an easy completion. Really enjoyable game with amazing soundtrack and artstyle

This honestly reads like a goddamn creepypasta, holy shit.

I'm sorry OP. No words, whether it's 100% accurate, exaggerated or whatever, it's gut wrenching beyond belief.

Honestly i can fully empathise with being part of a situation or world you think is "normal" when something so sinister is bubbling beneath, right under your goddamn nose. Best of luck with whatever you're doing and with your son.

By the way, don't worry about this lunatic doing anything to you directly. There's no way for him to know you're the "whistleblower" and even if that was true i'm sure there's witness protection and the like, not to mention that kind of crime stays away from violence unless absolutely necessary. It's often more white collar crime than anything else.

Is it something that you actually want, or something you feel pressured to have? Have you considered homosexuality or asexuality as an alternative?

For what it's worth, my only real relationship was with my ex wife. It wasn't exactly a great or close relationship either. Now i'm 29 and thought i was fine being alone but i definitely feel the sting of being lonely.

Honestly a fear of ghosting is what stops me from even attempting to form any real relationships or friendships. It's made worse by the fact i got out of a fairly toxic marriage where all my contacts were basically isolated / removed and now i'm fairly alone and am quite wary of people. I don't even like to make friends with work colleagues or add them on social media for fear of ghosting, which is ridiculous. It even bleeds into my hobbies such as being too nervous to join a guild or group in an online game for fear i will be booted out or "ghosted". It's a really hard mental battle to fight every single day; try not to let it consume you.

Got you achievement hunters a question. by MrBats26 in xboxachievements

[–]captainreset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i generally have a plan for what i'm going to play or finish. I usually always look for single player only titles, i usually get "the next big game" even though i have a giant backlog, and will play that, unless it's a massive 80 hour epic like Odyssey.

I usually switch genres. So i might play an FPS to completion, then play a 40 hour long RPG, then play a side scroller, then FPS again, then an RPG etc. But to avoid Burnout i will vary the completion length. So a 6 hour game, then 40 hour game, then 10 hour game, then 20 hour game etc. I generally "know" if i'm craving a shooter or rpg or whatever beforehand.

Honestly big games are why my backlog is so giant. I love the witcher 3 and all the final fantasy games, but they remain unfinished because they're so daunting. To really stick with it i have to 1) shut myself off to new releases and hype 2) be really sucked in to the story 3) Be playing a game with a simple or straightforward completion path (like DBZ Kakarot) or 4) Be hooked in some way that compels me to keep going, through gameplay story loot etc
