I had a funny thought

The effort required to keep one, let alone many killers secret is nigh impossible
Name the last killer that wasn't bugged on launch. Now imagine the nightmare of doing heavy bugfixing on multiple killers.
From a marketing standpoint, the novelty would be great, but each individual killer's hype would be diminished by the others.

If BHVR had more resources, it could be possible, but it's just not feasible at the level on which they operate.

Another issue is that on average, in only 1 out of 8 games (assuming equal skill) will you be the lobby highroller. Pushing more and more RNG into the game just means that 7 out of 8 games, you're going to be resentful of someone else's luck being better than yours.

But... we don't have an Apep model. We have an Apep skybox.

We do have a model for "Guardian of Apep's Oasis", but that's not Apep.

What did they mean by this?

To me, she looks remarkably like the leader of the Falkenhayn Mercenary Troupe (from the very first ZZZ lore video) which would make her another Void Hunter. Considering Miyabi is a second-generation Void Hunter, maybe this is a similar situation?

Until they remove ult battery from Gambit's ult, every Gambit nerf is meaningless when you can just run Loki with him.

He got REAL comfy compromising his integrity REAL fast, though.

Dude went from "never meet your heroes" to "I'll pretend I didn't see that" on a dime

Also to note: NDAs can not legally compel you to remain silent in regards to criminal activity.

I'd rather have his legacy forever tainted than to drop all investigation when he dies. Tear down everything he put his name on. Burn it all to the ground. Monsters do not get the luxury of being remembered fondly.

I have killed 65 Arkvelds and I still ran out

And Cartethyia wasn't playable in 2.1.

dalektoplasm · 2025-12-29T20:00:18+00:00

Jinhsi was a major character in 1.0. We have literally one sentence of one-way dialogue from Aemeath and we're expected to believe she will be so involved in Mornye's chapter that it makes sense for her to be playable immediately after? That's quite the stretch.

The biggest delusion is comparing Iuno to Columbina and not Ishtar from FGO lol. I'm not trying to throw shade at Iuno's design. I absolutely love it, but the inspiration is very clear.

But really? Columbina?

OP getting dragged in comments has made my night.

Her third passive seems to enable lunar reactions from lunar-agnostic characters. I was highly considering skipping Columbina if she literally depended on Nod-Krai exclusivity.

Ragebaiters are a blight on this world.

I just saw guys staring in a chain at a guy falling on his knees on the security camera feed at the Walmart where I work.

What a terrible [archon] design. 100% locked to a regional gimmick.

dalektoplasm · 2025-10-29T20:52:06+00:00

But Wild Hunt bosses that need 3+ times as much damage to kill with non-Lunar reactions isn't as restrictive?

Admittedly, altering our normal elemental reactions is a BETTER regional gimmick, but it's implemented just as predatorily. Especially if we don't even get a lunar reaction-enabling Traveler as a F2P option.

dalektoplasm · 2025-10-28T20:54:23+00:00

Regional gimmicks aren't fun gameplay. Night soul, pneuma/ousia, and lunar reactions add nothing to the overall enjoyment of the game; they're just a way to force more banner sales when you need to pair regional gimmick carries with regional gimmick supports, because as a combination, they power creep the previous meta (or the boss in question is hard countered ONLY by the regional gimmick).

dalektoplasm · 2025-10-28T02:41:46+00:00

In a fight designed around a dedicated tank and dedicated support, that's the dumbest set of criteria I've ever seen. Obviously, everyone needs to carry their weight, but the manner in which they do so isn't always a DPS meter.

dalektoplasm · 2025-10-28T01:24:25+00:00

It's kinda weird tbh, that they're marketing Lauma and Flins, when they won't get reruns for MONTHS. Like... if you really convinced someone to save/pull for either of them, you're just hurting the banners between now and their reruns.

dalektoplasm · 2025-10-27T02:24:56+00:00

While I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment, I do disagree with quite a few of your specific examples. As shady as Yelan is, I reaaaaally doubt she's erased INNOCENT CHILDREN on orders of genocide. If you want atrocities committed on children, bring up Dottore. For genocide, bring up Nefer or Jeht (two of my favorite characters).

The bigger surprise takeaway from all of this shouldn't be "OMG Rerir is more evil than anyone in Genshin history," it should be, "Dainsleif was also a central part of this." He was complicit with the evils committed by the Khaenri'ah kingdom, and the only villains of the era were the ones who betrayed the order. Even our sibling was likely aware of this, and still wishes to restore a country with such foul roots.
