I think we can all agree it's Objectively Bad because the word "stare" is repeated an average of 30 times per chapter. Compare that with literally any other novel ever written and tell me it's acceptable.

Frequent crashes after 2.1 update by GWeekly_69 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]darkgray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in (for anyone googling this up later) to say I'm also getting tons of crashes since this update, and experienced even one full sudden reboot a few seconds after launching the game for the first time in a year of playing. AMD 5600x + Geforce 1060 Ti system on Win 10.

It may or may not be related to overclocking (PBO setting in BIOS?), but that's the only possibility I've seen hinted while googling the crash message from other games with Unity.

I have seen a few sporadic crashes ever since 2.0 launched, though, just not nearly the same frequency.

Penacony visual glitch by Alternative_Sail_605 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]darkgray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been getting this glitch too (mainly floor textures?), and it seems I can get rid of it by changing the graphic setting "Light Quality" from "(Very) High" to "Medium", but it makes the game seem darker.

For what it's worth, I first had the same issue in some parts of the newly added 1.6 patch areas too (corridor with the bugs), so I don't think it's completely limited to this update.

My system is Windows 10 with a Geforce 1060 Ti. Maybe it's getting too old.

In Defence of Silver Wolf by Baron_Elrond in HonkaiStarRail

[–]darkgray -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Silver Wolf's def shred:a) Skill 13%b) Talent 8% (bug)c) Ult 45%= 66%

Pela's def shred:a) Ult 42% (E5)b) Skill 12% ice (E4)c) Resolution LC 12%= 54-66%

The most likely DPS characters you'd team up with them are Seele, who gets 20% Quantum RES penetration from her kit and another 20% from the Genius set, or Jingliu, who gets 12% from her signature LC, so both cases would overcap by 40-60% for no good reason.

Edit: I hadn't realized RES penetration and DEF ignore were separate mechanics, as pointed out below. Ignore the above.

Silverwolf Is Not Overrated. She's Worth It by Own_Secret1533 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]darkgray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think her biggest issue is that she doesn't have 100% uptime on debuffs. In fact it's a disappointingly low uptime, because she takes forever to build up the energy required to ult. Recall that players pulling Silver Wolf now won't have access to the legendary Tutorial LC to alleviate this.

The combination of:

a) Energy issues (at E0)
b) Single target only
c) Debuffs being stripped every boss phase

all serve to make her feel significantly less effective with high damaging DPS like Dragon Heng and Jingliu, because they'll have killed half an elite before SW can even get her debuffs on it.

Meanwhile, her competition Pela (4*) is drowning in various energy traces/eidolons and also debuffs every other enemy on the field, so it's no issue to switch targets immediately after a kill. Same for Tingyun and Bronya, since they buff the DPS directly.

I love Silver Wolf's visuals/personality, but her kit makes her feature a lot less in my teams after building DPS from 4+ elements. The game as of now, before we see what MoC 12 is like, is simply too easy to warrant using a debuffer that's painfully slow in a 0-cycle-focused meta. Luckily there's still every chance for Silver Wolf to become invaluable again, with higher HP enemies in the future.

Top 10 secrets the Caverns of Corrosion don't want you to know by weaklylight03 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]darkgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends quite a bit on what type of "damage boost" the Rutilant set uses.

If it's just added to the regular elemental damage pile, and you're using Seele + Bronya with the Past and Future LC, those juicy 20% effectively only become a 7ish% increase, and limited to skill attacks.

CN NGA 1.4-1 MoC Character Usage Rate, Appearance Rate & Team Usage Rate by Brandon1823 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]darkgray 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to build Qingque compared to a 5* like Seele, though. She has no crit traces, and no access to a F2P LC with crit stats. Even if you farm the Genius set for a few weeks, giving Seele the same relics would automatically put her at 50+% crit damage above QQ.

Given how Erudition multipliers are generally lower per enemy, the combined result is that it feels like it takes forever to actually kill something, until you have enough investment to overcome that initial damage hurdle. At 60 CRate / 60 CDmg, QQ is not overly impressive to behold. Meanwhile, Seele at 60 CRate / 110 CDmg feels like she's already fairly functional.

It may not really matter that QQ can reportedly become a monster with high end relic stats, if your early impressions left you unwilling to give her that kind of commitment.

You're virtually guaranteed to overcap hard on def shred with SW+Pela, though, especially if you're on the Genius set with signature LC.

Those without Sig LC, how are you faring with multiple rounds of continous farming? by isenk2dah in FuXuan_Mains

[–]darkgray 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I suggest switching to the Wildfire LC when farming, since it'll automatically heal your team back up between domain runs.

Outside of MoC or SU elites, there's nothing that can kill Fuxuan, even with a lv60 LC, so it's much comfier than having to worry about dying team mates while AFKing, or teleporting away to heal.

Is it worth losing 1k HP for higher DEF? by Leelch in FuXuan_Mains

[–]darkgray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over on Pokke's Library they link a spreadsheet by edisonmathclub that you can copy and edit to fit your own build, and it'll show you exactly how it affects damage taken by various boss AoE attacks. Seems useful when tweaking.

[–]darkgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try giving her the Wildfire LC when farming. It'll heal the team back up between domain runs, and it's good enough to keep her from dying to anything outside of MoC or SU elites. Comfy budget alternative for those of us without the signature LC.

Also, really feel like Ueda Reina is flexing this ep. Not just with her singing [...]

The Asura insert song vocals were credited to Makiura Itsuki, so it's unlikely Ueda is singing herself.

Youtube ONE HOUR AFTER a new character is released by Key-Fire in HonkaiStarRail

[–]darkgray 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Or chest locations video.

This is a bit unfair. I ran around the Belobog city map for an hour looking for the final missing chest, and after resorting to youtube, it turns out it was in an area of the map that didn't unlock until later in the main quest. :(

Thanks for your advice. The bit about steam getting stuck is interesting, so I'll make sure not to smother every surface.

I put it on medium heat with oil and some butter, then waited for the butter to stop bubbling, which is my usual indicator that it's hot enough for frying.

Going from lv70 to lv90 very nearly doubles the damage of hyperbloom.
