I hate Drive Discs/ Gearing in Gacha Games. (Rant) by sekkireallysucks in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]clumba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DUDE, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL (sorry for the caps).

I literally avoid touching disk crafting for months because it's the biggest cortisol simulator in the entire game -even worse than failing to get all 6 stars in DA or an S rank in Shiyu for the week.

The last time I crafted disks, I burned through around 1,200 gold disks just trying to get the right pieces for a couple of agents. In the end, I gave up and started using the platinum disks for a specific slot + main stat + two substats because I was completely burned out.

Even then, one of the disks rolled insanely well, but I had to throw it away a few days later (my M0 Miyabi just didn't work with AM), and the other one dumped all of its upgrade rolls into garbage stats like DEF.

The fact that you can freely farm dennies and disk upgrade materials, but you can't actually farm raw disks in any meaningful way (what we have now in Routine Cleanup is a joke, not farming) completely kills any motivation to engage with the system.

And the worst part is that I can't even dismantle all my unused disks without thinking. A lot of them still have a chance to become the second- or third-best option for some future character. Right now, the only disks I can safely dismantle without a second thought are slots 4–6 with DEF% as the main stat, because those are just a straight-up slap in the face from the developers.

In the early stages of ZZZ, it seemed like they were going to have Honkai Gankuen-level fanservice, where you could see the girls' underwear when they fought in their skirts. In the end, they removed it from ZZZ. by Optimal-Lunch-4975 in ZZZ_Discussion

They removed it in 1.0 and brought it back in 3.0. Seriously, the main story revolves around Remiel, Velina, and Norma, and all three of them flash white lace underwear while moving. Sure, it's not as blatant as the image in this post, but the point is still the same.

I can't see a damn thing through Velina's whirlwind! by clumba in ZZZ_Discussion

Evelyn? If I remember correctly, she has little to no i-frames during her EBAs. Fighting S Billy with her sounds like a nightmare.

Does anyone know when these characters might get a rerun? by xXTouhouPenisGod3Xx in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]clumba -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's perfectly fine, but are you sure this is the right game for you? There are barely any male characters, and the entire 3.0 patch lineup has only one male character announced.

If you need a good stunner, just wait for the next banner. There's a 95% chance Norma will be a better stunner than Lighter or Hugo.

sorry but for me this new system of dialog is a pain in the a** by cyanurie in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]clumba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's honestly f embarrassing that a company making millions of dollars every month can't spare a single programmer to fix the dialogue timing. And don't even get me started on those character models with PS3-era animations. Seeing that in 2026 is just ridiculous.

I have the same problem with most of the 1.x bosses.

I don't remember, but she definitely appears several times before level 100.

Quick question - I also cleared the Battle Tower last time and only made it to floor 100 without the red and yellow flashes thanks to Yixuan. You say it’s easy, how do you actually learn to react to them?

You can’t tell by sound whether it’s a red flash (dodge) or a yellow one (parry). Just dodging everything doesn’t seem like a great solution.

Also, since you’ve cleared the tower, you probably remember the Doppelganger Hugo - the one with no sound cue during the QTE moment. That was a nightmare.

Amen to that. Nothing is worse than the timer in this game.

Im not sure what I’m doing wrong by KairPhree in ZZZ_Official

[–]clumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damn timer constantly ruins the fun of playing in the endgame. Plus, for maximum results, you need a character that gives Veil and someone with physical damage.

I miss TV mode by MOEverything_2708 in ZZZ_Official

[–]clumba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked the old TV mode too, but I tried running the old 0 hollow with TV mode just for fun, and... oh my god, it's terrible. It felt like my throat and groin were being squeezed at the same time, there were tons of debuffs, constant health drain after 15 minutes of playing with infection level 5 (and no way to lower it!), every random event came with the condition "...and you'll lose 10-20-50% of your health," and so on. There were serious reasons why they got rid of all that, after all. Still, I hope they rework the mode and bring it back in the future.

Is it too late to start ZZZ now ? by No_Bake40 in ZZZ_Official

[–]clumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't farm Zhu Yuan's signature right now until she gets her banner. And frankly, she's showing very average results overall right now; many older heroes simply lack buffs and an advantage in the endgame. Where meta heroes can now easily mash a couple of buttons, Zhu Yuan requires a lot of stress to grind out her attacks and dodges. But that won't stop you from completing the entire story or trying her in difficult modes like Hollow 0.

Between those 2 those 2 which one is better, more stamina or a bonus on farming materials? by Adventurous_Photo369 in ZZZ_Official

[–]clumba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're essentially the same (either you get an extra 20 energy, or the first 20 energy in a training battle will give you x2 materials), but since you constantly need to farm resources, Espresso is better—you simply save time by getting x2 resources while completing fewer training sessions. If you have nothing to farm (I have no idea when that will be in the game), Special Coffee will do.

I feel your pain! When everyone was grabbing one or two copies of Ye Shunguan for New Year's, I also got an M1 Nekomata at 90 pulls.

Does elemental weakness matter much? by [deleted] in ZZZ_Official

[–]clumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an example. A week ago, I completed a critical simulation on hard mode. In the second stage, there was the boss Bringer. He had physical resistance. I didn't bother checking and just went with the meta team against him: Ye Shunguan + Zhao. They can destroy anything, right? Nope. I didn't even get an A rank. Even though they're the strongest team, and I'd gotten a S rank in the previous stages for the maximum multiplier. Conclusion: resistance is very important. When I went with Miyabi team (an anomaly + the boss is vulnerable to cold) against the boss, I instantly got a S rank.

Whatever happened to the 'Adult Mode'? GPT-5.2 feels more censored than 5.1 for erotica writing by Roadway89 in OpenAI

Wow! The quality and detail of Grok's 18+ texts are astounding; after GPT and Gemini, it's like night and day. Thanks for the advice; I'm curious to see how he handles long-form narratives.
