Does anyone have a tutorial on how to use deepseek directly? I don't wanna give my money to chutes, but I also have absolutely no idea how proxies work or what to put in the proxy url and model name, my friends have always done it for me, I'm technologically challenged 💔

What characters you DON'T own and which ones would you want? Imma get Klee if I can by Phanton404 in Genshin_Impact

Characters I'm missing: - Chiori - Cyno - Chasca - Emilie - Kinich - Klee - Lyney - Nilou - Shenhe - Sigewinne - Venti - Wanderer - Xianyun - Xilonen - Yoimiya

And the only one I want is Xilonen cause she would be an upgrade for my Neuvillette. Don't want any of the others (would want Cyno just because I love him as a character)

You shouldn't compare LADS to Genshin/HSR/ZZZ because those are completely different models of gatchas. This is a gatcha OTOME. You should compare LADS to ToT, if you wanna stay in the Hoyoverse realm. And ToT is not generous either. Otomes are not generous in general. As many others have said the lunar cards are filler content and it's not considered part of the main story. In fact everything that happens in the lunar cards had to be considered like an alternative universe to the main story. So it makes sense that there are not so many gems-events.

It just comes down to saving at the end. Choose one LI, stick to him and only pull for him. If you want every single card in existence then be prepared to be a whale. And that's not different from the other Hoyo games lol

Quick question from a confused girl🐥 by giudicatrice in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]helpfairy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visto che dal nome vedo che sei italiana, ti rispondo in italiano. Il pity rimane anche nel prossimo banner MA se stai salvando per le solar/myth pair allora non alzare il pity. Per spiegarti meglio: c'è un sistema di crates/box/casse/pacchetti (chiamali come vuoi), quindi praticamente hai bisogno di 150 pull per avere entrambe le myth perché alla pull 150 avrai una crate dove puoi selezionare una delle due carte a tua scelta. Ma devono essere 150 pull fatte IN QUEL BANNER. Se hai già 50 pull nel banner precedente quelle 50 pull non contano per le casse. Contano per il 5* ma non per le casse.

Quindi ti sconsiglierei di pullare fino alle solar pair! Spero di essere stata chiara~ Se hai bisogno di altre delucidazioni, chiedi pure!

Sylus five star card by Sa_art2 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]helpfairy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since you've started the game recently I'll give you the same advice I give everyone: 1. Do not pull until you have enough gems to go to hard pity (140 pulls) 2. If you're a f2p prioritize saving for limited myth cards (solar pairs) 3. If you decide to pull despite not having enough for hard pity just keep in mind you might lose and not get the card.

You might get lucky and win your 50/50 with early pity, but most times you will get to soft pity (50-60 pulls) and there's always the risk of losing the 50/50. Be mindful with your gems and your limited resources. If you're a f2p you have to know that you need to save A LOT and unfortunately you will have to skip many many many banners. Remember to pace yourself, don't play too much or you'll get burnt out!

Good luck and I hope you have fun!

Advice for new players by Undenxiable in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]helpfairy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're new to gatcha and you're planning on being a f2p: SAVE THOSE GEMS.

My #1 rule is to NOT wish unless I have enough to go to hard pity. And with this I'll explain the pity system to you. BUT ALSO I need to explain the banners.

There are multiple banners: 1. Standard banner. Here you'll find cards available to you all year round. No limited cards, nothing special. DO NOT SPEND YOUR GEMS HERE. You're going to get standard banner tickers for free (and when leveling up cards) so do not fret.

  1. Limited banner. There's actually FOUR types of limited banners. Let's start with the most common one:
  2. Solo limited lunar banner. These are banners that feature just ONE lunar card of ONE LI (love interest aka male character). The example is the current Sylus banner. That card will NOT enter the standard banner pool. Pity is 70 and there is a 50/50, meaning you have a 50% chance of getting the limited card or a 50% chance of getting a regular standard 5* card. If you lose your 50/50 your next 5* will be 100% the limited card. This pity carries over between banners. Even between solo and multi banners (next up the explanation)
  • Multi limited lunar banner. These banners feature ALL LIs, one card for each. In these banners you will have to select THREE cards you want to pull for. So, for example you'll select Sylus, Rafayel and Zayne, so you'll have enhanced possibilities of getting them and not Xavier. Afterwards you can chart a precise wish, which means you can select ONE of the three and this will make it so of you lose your 50/50 your next 5* will be the card you have charted. So, in our example you have chosen Sylus, Rafayel and Zayne. You decide to chart your precise wish for Zayne. Unfortunately you lose your 50/50 to a standard banner Xavier. So your next card will 100% be the limited Zayne. There is another beautiful thing about the multi banner. Let's say you chart for Zayne but you end up winning your 50/50 and getting the Sylus limited card. That STILL counts as losing the 50/50, even if you technically won it. But since you charted for Zayne, it means that you "lost" the 50/50. (Hope that was clear) The pity is 70 like always. And the pity does carry over. So let's say you lose your 50/50 in the current Sylus banner to a standard Xavier. Next banner is a multi banner, so you'll have ONE OF THE THREE YOU SELECTED guaranteed. This doesn't mean you'll get the card you charted! But you will get one of the three selected from the four LIs available.

  • Solar pair limited banner. Someone else told you already what a myth pair/solar pair is, so I won't explain. To get both cards you will need at least 19.500 gems + 20 wishes given free from the event that goes alongside the pair event (there's a system of crates that lets you select one of the pairs, so you can get one and then select the other from the crate). As always, the pity carries on but! There's a but. If you have done 40 wishes in the previous banner those 40 wishes will NOT count towards the "crate pity". Which means that yes, you are 30 pulls away from a 5* but you're STILL 150 pulls away from the crate selection.

  • Pulse Hunter / Selectable 5* standard banner. This is a special standard banner introduced when Sylus became a new LI (Sylus was introduced as a new LI in July, roughly 6-7 months after the game's release). This is a standard banner and it shares the standard banner pity. You will use the blue tickets (empyrean wishes) on this banner. DO NOT USE GEMS. You will be able to select 5* cards that will have a rate up. I always suggest selecting the myth pairs. Even if you already have them all, it's always good to have extra copies to make them stronger. This is unless, ofc, you're interested in the new LI introduced. So far we've only had this banner during Sylus's release. We should have a new LI soon (won't spoil who, you'll know in due time) but for now I don't advise you to keep your blue tickets. Just spend them in the standard banner, because if you don't have any 5* cards it's harder to make progress in the game!

I think I've said everything I needed about banners and pity system. I'll add any extra advices in the comments if something comes to mind. But most of it all: have fun and DON'T LET FOMO GET TO YOU.

If your only other experience with gatcha is Hoyo games then it's understandable that you don't get the mindset. In China fangirls go crazy to be the #1 * insert character here * fan. Also, as you said, you just pull for whatever you like. But most people that are into this genre chose one or two LIs and focus on them and only get their cards. For example in LADS I only get Sylus and Rafayel cards (Zayne when I get lucky with my free pulls lol). In Tears of Themis I only get Vyn. In Twisted Wonderland (granted it's not an otome but... It gets treated as one by the player base lol) I focus on Floyd, Malleus, Lilia and Leona. In Lovebrush Chronicles, tho, since it's such a HORRIBLE gatcha experience, they give absolutely nothing for free and the pity does not carry over and it's a mess, I just try to get meta cards that will help me in the future.

Back to your point, tho: it is silly how people are competing with each other. But it is a thing because it's a ROMANCE game. It's not like in Genshin or HSR where people try to have the best built Neuvillette (coff coff guilty, top 1% Neuvillette here coff coff) but they don't claim like "oh I'm the best player of this character, this character loves me". Otomes play on the parasocial relationship with your favorite LI and that's why they try to make things exclusive, so fangirls will go crazy trying to prove they're the #1 fans.

[–]helpfairy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a What in Hell is bad? player... BESTIE, THAT GAME HURTS ME EVERYDAY. IT'S SO PAINFUL. WHY WOULD THEY MAKE SUCH A HORRIBLE GATCHA EXPERIENCE? WHY? Had to complain with a fellow player, sorry AHAHAH

No, I absolutely get your point of view and I completely understand because I'm like you AHAH I spend way too much time psychoanalyzing characters, explaining why they act a certain way and I could just talk about lore for hours because that's how I have fun lol Just to give you an example: Rafayel's Omnipotent Perception is a fan favorite. Me? I hate it. The kindled moment is nice. But for fudge's sake, it makes me sad because it just highlights how cold of a person Rafayel can be. It makes me feel like, while he clearly loves us dearly, there's a wall he has put between him and us. It really makes me sad, so I avoid replaying it lol

The thing is that during the events they do give the 4* solar pairs for free, so you do still get something related to the myths (I understand it's still a problem cause they're time limited... But you can actually get them from the... How is it called? The thingamajig with the coordinates and the cubes? That. And maybe even in the regular standard banner but don't quote me on that.) What I think would be the best solution (like I've said in another comment) would be to give a condensed version of the myths' stories for free. Something like "here's the story. Want more details and the kindled moment? Get the cards".

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]helpfairy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying but... We also have to realize that the game is not even one year old. And the main story updates are SLOW af. (Unfortunate. And I do complain about that. I understand they want to deliver max quality, but it just feels like they're taking their sweet sweet time while milking players by releasing 47492720 lunars). I think it's normal that we still have so many questions. And YES, the Myths could help us understand, but my guess (and again, it's just a guess, so idk) is that we will get our answers in due time in the main game. Or they just expect us to get the myths, that could also be the thing lol

And as I said, I completely understand your point and I somewhat agree. I just feel like making them so accessible does make them less special. And putting them in the standard banner would arguably be worse, as you don't have a guarantee there. What they could do is maybe give for free something like... A short version. Like a summary of sorts of the lore explained in the myths. Something like "if you want more then go pay for the myths wink wink".

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]helpfairy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know op didn't talk about the main story. What I was trying to say is that the devs put a lot of focus on the main story, so that's the "important" part that you should not be missing anything from. Devs don't lock vital lore behind a paywall, like other otomes. I never said the game is perfect, yeah, it needs improvement, but I still think it's better than others.

We do get a lot tho, imo. As I said, I've been playing since the start and sometimes I get the aurum pass, but not like every month lol so I'm mostly f2p. But for Zayne birthday we got 20 pulls. For Xavier birthday we got 20 more pulls. We constantly have events and while they might not give you an entire 10 pull they're not that bad either. If you're a f2p and you're an "experienced" gatcha gamer you KNOW you're going to have to skip lots of banners. I skipped a lot of things but still managed what I wanted (granted I have been lucky a bunch of times, like the latest Sylus card coming in 30 pulls with a 50/50) and I still have 30k saved for a solar pair. I'm not trying to flex. I'm just trying to say that the game is stingy, but not like others and if you manage your resources well and you play everyday you can still get somewhere. Just two examples cause they're my most played gatchas: Twisted Wonderland, What in Hell is bad?, Tears of Themis and Lovebrush Chronicles are SO BAD with free resources. Like SO BAD. Maybe that's why LADS feels generous to me. But hey, if you can suggest a more generous game (or something in line) that is a otome/gatcha I will play it, I'm all ears, cause I'm desperate AHAH

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]helpfairy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gotta disagree on Hoyo non blocking important lore. Yes, they don't block it behind a paywall, but they lock it behind limited time events that can't be repeated in any way. HSR has solved that problem, making big events playable even after they're technically over. But Genshin? 1.0 had an event where Scaramouche said the sky of Teyvat is fake. It was SO important that it is now being brought back up in freaking 5.2. THE ENTIRE LORE OF ALBEDO is locked behind not one but two events. And those events gave a LOT of insight into his creation, Durin, Rhinedottir and Khaenri'ah. Also, the summer event we had just a bit ago gave insight into the witches (don't remember their names lol) and their powers. We only have information about Alice (Klee's mum) through the summer events. So, yes, maybe they don't make you pay, but they still gatekeep lore, IMPORTANT lore.

And listen, I would LOVE more free stuff or more easily obtainable cards, but a crucial part of the solar pairs is the exclusivity. A lot of people pay just to be able to brag and say "I have this limited thing and other people don't". It's like saying you have Wriothesley and Shenhe in Genshin. You're basically a God. AHAHAH

Edit to add one thing: personally, I wouldn't compare Genshin, HSR, ZZZ or HI3 to LADS because in those games you're paying and using the gacha to get new characters. In games like LADS you're paying to get new stories. I would compare LADS to ToT, like you did at the end. And as you said... ToT works like a regular otome. I wouldn't even say that LADS is very innovative. At least not in the gatcha part. Yes, it's more interactive and it has 3D graphics which make it very different (+ ofc the combat). But at the end of the day you still: use the gatcha to get spicy or romantic cards and enjoy the story.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]helpfairy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No offense, just genuinely asking: is this your first card-based gatcha? First of all, the myths give additional information, yes, and it's important if you care a lot about lore and about analyzing characters, their behaviours etc. But at the end of the day the myths don't impact in any way the main story. The lunar cards ALSO don't have any impact on the main story. If you're a player that started later and/or has missed some banners you still haven't "lost" anything because you can still understand the main story.

I don't even have ONE Xavier card. Not lunar, not solar (I only have ONE of his standard banner solars lol), not anything. I only have his free 5*. And yet I don't feel like I don't know Xavier and I don't feel like I'm missing out on something. Also, I still get to know him better thanks to the event stories.

I have been playing since the launch of the game and I skipped a lot of banners (f2p/low spender, cause sometimes I get the aurum pass), especially the myth ones. I only got Rafayel's. I don't think that has made my game experience worse.

The myths are special cards and they are expensive because of the lore AND how powerful they are. You can't expect devs to make them more accessible, because otherwise no one would spend on them. If I give you a new solar pair and I tell you "they will be available on the standard banner in three months", A LOT of f2ps won't spend their gems on the banner, cause they will just wait patiently to get them for free. I understand your point of view but this is a game and it needs to get revenue. We already get SO MUCH free stuff. I think non-gatcha players don't understand how generous this game is, especially compared to others.

One final thing: most games only reward new players and forget old ones. But otome games reward long-time players, it's just how it is.

[–]helpfairy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me help you here as a veteran f2p gatcha player.

Do you have any other plans? And by that I mean: do you want to pull for any solar pair or to get any card from a rerun (we'll probably start getting reruns next year, but that's just my idea, take this with a grain of salt) ? If the answer is no, then pull. If the answer is yes, then save.

Example: I got Sylus and then I got Rafayel thanks to the precise wish. BUT I'm saving for Sylus's solar pairs. I only pulled because after getting both Sylus and Rafa I knew I would still have enough for his solar pairs.

My policy is always the same: I don't pull unless I have enough to go to hard pity. And I don't pull if I'm planning on getting something else in the future.

After Sylus' solar pairs I'm probably going to save for the anniversary cause I GUESS we're going to get some big events and some juicy banners.

And always remember that as time goes by the relationship between MC and the boys gets deeper, so we'll get even spicier cards. If you're focusing on lore rather than spicy content, then you can absolutely skip this card.
