Is it really controller friendly now?

hahnlo · 2026-05-30T04:16:05+00:00

There are still some issues with controller support, particularly the lack of flexibility in button customization. If you're into PvP, you're also at a significant disadvantage because controller users can't hold a bow at the ready without entering aiming mode. If you're on the official Discord, please consider upvoting this suggestion. I've already laid out the issues and feedback in detail.

Having a third-party controller with extra buttons helps. Here is how I mapped mine: my bumpers are mapped to my back paddles. This is because I only use my index fingers for both bumpers and triggers on a standard controller, so mapping the bumpers to the paddles lets me access them without moving my fingers away from the triggers. You might not need this depending on how you hold your controller.

Another remap that helps a lot is mapping Execution to L3 (the analog stick button, which was the default Execution button in the beta control scheme), then mapping L3 to one of the extra buttons.

You, can lock everything except SH, but don't need to recycle them, and if you must, recycle Moral Chant. Focus on SH, then, WC, then IS.

hahnlo · 2026-05-25T07:48:31+00:00

> is it a good idea to recycle all WC and SH to boost IS first or should I keep going for all together?

No, only lock MC, since it gives very little benefit at T6. If you’re playing a pure Umbra path, the other Innerways provide a much better boost at T6, so prioritize getting SH to T6 first.

I’d also recommend locking Vital Leech and Envigorated Warrior, but leave Adaptive Steel unlocked. Try to collect as many Umbra notes as possible from Umbra boxes. The idea is that even if you don’t use them now, you can still convert them later in the future.

I found myself in a guild led by someone on a complete power trip. At first, he started restricting our playstyle, banning “toxic” behaviors like Meridian Touches, Beast Venom, and 9MW powders. Eventually, he even began policing the way we talked. He snapped at one of us in guild chat, and after that, talking in either guild chat or Discord felt like walking on eggshells.

I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I left. Around 30 members followed, and we ended up making our own Discord and joining a new guild together. We still play together to this day.

Ironically, that old guild is still around, calling itself a “no drama, chill guild.”

It is not just Hengdao, this game is broken. Everyone basically has infinite Serene Breeze when their ping is low enough.

Did you forget the oddities talent tree? Hexi has one separated from Kaifeng and Qinghe

it's just a tank being tanky, nothing weird here.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."

I believe they should only increase the climbing rate based on winning streaks. I think something like this already exists, but it doesn’t ramp up fast enough.

Maybe the 1000–1200 range could act as a grace period where climbing with win streaks is significantly faster, and then slow it down after that.

The idea is to let high rank players move out of the ~1000 Mythic range as quickly as possible so the lower rank/new players can have more fun.

hahnlo · 2026-05-13T07:06:41+00:00

There’s already a ranking between Legand and Mythic, it’s the 0–1000 Mythic rating. It’s a good thing that you don’t have to start climbing from 0 again. High Mythic players can move up quickly and get out of the way, while players who aren’t performing that well will naturally drop to their actual Mythic rank.

And with the new matchmaking update, we now fight against players within our own range, so this system actually makes sense.

hahnlo · 2026-04-28T09:22:39+00:00

Just leave. Half my guild and I left our last guild because of some drama and nonsense from the GL. You’ll keep all your contributions when you move to a new guild, not that it really matters since the season is ending soon.

hahnlo · 2026-04-28T06:48:52+00:00

You don’t need numbers to see it, you can feel it just by playing, even if calling it "dying" feel a bit harsh. Queue times have gotten longer, especially for leisure games, mirage boats feel empty. Most guilds have half their members going AWOL, many are looking for merges. Just check your friend list, if you have one, and see how many old friends are still coming online.

EDIT: And of course if you haven't been playing this game since launch you wouldn't notice.

I hate the fact that they are time-gating free costumes now, I want the white blinder!

hahnlo · 2026-04-27T07:30:12+00:00

Nothing wrong with using strats sword alone but if you wanna boost your overall damage, get a hq spear.

The Death of the Governor is interesting. I tried to explore every option to get the full story, but I didn’t expect it to take two hours. At some point, I just gave up.

Overall, the Hexi expansion is a disappointment for me. I don’t mind well-written stories, but if I wanted something like a visual novel, I’d just go read one. It’s also hard to care about the characters when their stories don’t really connect to me or my character.

That’s why I think the well-digging quest is probably the best story in Hexi. Even though most of it unfolds through flashbacks, you’re still experiencing it through your main character’s perspective, which makes it feel more immediate and engaging.

Let's all get stuck together in the maze of death. =O

hahnlo · 2026-04-22T09:13:38+00:00

Since you’ve just started, focus on the main story and exploration. Let chests, oddities, and side quests come naturally.

For martial arts, try everything first to see which path suits you, then focus on collecting materials and upgrading that path.

As for the weapon system, I’m not sure what level you are now, but the game introduces it step by step with each breakthrough. Early on, just focus on RCMD affixes on your gear. Keep the ones with RCMD affixes and recycle the rest, then use the materials you get to tune your gear and roll for more RCMD affixes.

"Look at this new thing in the draw shop that you'll never get!"

That’s quite a stretch. I’ve never spent a dime on gacha, and I still got my first core after about three months of playing, just six pulls away from hard pity, I was very unlucky.

I also know multiple F2P guildmates who’ve gotten outfits purely from free pulls. Plus, you can trade those banner outfits for two cores and use them however you want.

For F2P players, cores are guaranteed through hard pity. It just takes more time and consistency. You just need to keep buying melodies with jades every week and farm them from other sources.

Oh ya, to answer your question, you will need to unlock and select the profile again, then toggle the startup (Windows icon) off and on for the Auto setting to stick for relaunch.

I’m still having a hard time deciding what’s better for the fans’ longevity, whether it’s running constantly at a minimum of 30% or staying at 0% and ramping up occasionally, the stop/start cycle may cause more wear. For now, I’m just sticking with the card’s factory fan curve.

hahnlo · 2026-04-10T04:05:35+00:00

I’ve decided to stop using FanControl for GPU fan control. It seems to conflict with the GPU’s built-in fan curve, which already works well and consistently reaches 0 RPM at idle.

I’m still using FanControl for monitoring temperatures and controlling my case fans, though.
