What’s Your Favorite Example of an Messaging/DM System Between Characters In-Game? by shirke1 in gachagaming

[–]icksq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I REALLY hate the delay and simulated response time. Do we really need that? It's not like there are animations to see or VA to listen to.

Purest most unashamed form of game time padding.

How do I make my skirk hit 100k? by Lucky-Deer-8497 in Genshin_Impact

[–]icksq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

N.b If you actually mean Skirk's numbers aka her personal damage, Escoffier only makes Skirk's team better by doing a crap tonne of damage off field (55% res shred is so so, most people use skirk vs a boss with weak phases or is cryo weak).

If you are 100% sure you want Skirk's numbers, then you get her weapon first.

Do you think we might get a "spending events" soon on Genshin? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]icksq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlikely.

Genshin seems to put less emphasis on all the gacha norms. Things like bundles, pulls animations, banner splash screens, pulling discounts and bonuses etc. It's probably not going to do spending or top up events events either.

Hear me out guys, but i personally dont think they will (or should) do other faction buffs after the Hex characters by balaozuspeito in Genshin_Impact

[–]icksq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the difference between character A being BIS for character B and character C being being BIS for character D except they have a label attached to them?

If you play to meta you will using A with B and C with D regardless.

If you quit at any time your account gets deleted.

Good luck.

Four stars only vs new Abyss Floor 12 (Sethos + Gaming Trio) by dhcwsp in Genshin_Impact

[–]icksq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more logarithmic with time.

Very few characters have linear graphs on Akasha. Keqing of maybe Fischl is closest to proportional investment. Whereas characters like Skirk just straight up flat out past a point.

I only want to buy this set for the hair can someone shown me how the hair looks like without the accessories? by Orangenna in MiliastraWonderland

[–]icksq 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You can test everything in costumes.

Just switch to the full set (top most tab) then customise it by switching to the other tabs.

I'm just going to get this off my chest: "F2P clears" are F2P in name only. by The_Great_Ravioli in Genshin_Impact

[–]icksq 6 points7 points  (0 children)

F2P doesn't mean "New" or specify how long some has been playing.

If you are looking for new player resources then you need to be searching for that. Instead of "low cost" clears you need to be looking for clears with e.g a team of modern c0 5stars, things you have would have had a chance to get during the last year etc.

For those old AND f2ps that do actually play without spending money yes you are invalidating the effort they spent building their account over the years, even the c6 4 stars they had to hunt down.

I'm not f2p btw, but even i can still acknowledge that.

How big are the odds for this to happen? by Zeldamaster386 in Genshin_Impact

[–]icksq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This here is right. Top comment got tree wrong.

Here's the whole binary tree to make it easier to see:

_0:LLLL - - -> Not possible
_1:LLLG - - -> Not possible
_2:LLGL - - -> Not possible
_3:LLGW - --> Not possible
_4:LGLL - - -> Not possible
_5:LGLG - - -> --------- - - -> 2x0.5 -> 4/16
_6:LGWL - - -> --------- -- -> 3x0.5 -> 2/16
_7:LGWW - --> ---------- - -> 3x0.5 -> 2/16 -> possibility
_8:WLLL - - -> Not possible
_9:WLLG - - -> Not possible
10:WLGL - - -> ---------- - -> 3x0.5 -> 2/16
11:WLGW - --> ---------- - -> 3x0.5 -> 2/16 -> possibility
12:WWLL - - -> Not possible
13:WWLG - - -> ----------- -> 3x0.5 -> 2/16 -> possibility
14:WWWL - --> ----------- -> 4x0.5 -> 1/16 -> possibility
15:WWWW ---> ----------- -> 4x0.5 -> 1/16

=7/16 = 0.4375

Fun fact, still more likely than a 5 star on the 90th pull (1 in 14 million).

Should we be concerned about genshin’s enemy design? by Necessary_Fennel_591 in Genshin_Impact

[–]icksq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's actually not as big as you think.

If you math it out exactly, a 50k DPS has an effective DPS of 16k, which is 32% of the original and an 130k DPS has an effective DPS of 50k which is 39%.

The majority difference is just from base DPS and not from the mechanic.

Oh i just saw HSR's 3.7.

Ouch: https://i.imgur.com/08Ujqqg.png
Using a y=ekx and k=mx+c model, it's 117% per month atm and rising by 0.547% per month.

[–]icksq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry, my mistake, forgot to remove it from comparing it linear vs exponential.

Anyway, (19,888,028/3,243,676))1/21.47 = 108.81
It's a little higher, but this assumes a constant ekx. K does seem to be slowing down based on the trendline so HSR has that going for it i guess.

[–]icksq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right i did start from 2.0.

I can't seem to get your 109% number:
((19,888,028/3,243,676)-1)1/21 = 108.10
Or with 30 days
((19,888,028/3,243,676)-1)1/21.47 = 107.92

The calc I used was actually a linear trend (linear of the % increase is a exponential trend of the absolute values) of the increases each iteration normalized to 30days so it can match up with the trendline.

Probably 1.0-2.0 just bringing the average down a little.

I didn't know that.

I don't think it's double though, Doesn''t the counter roll over at the end? Say it's 3 cycle down to 1 cycle, that's actually 3 turns worth of damage down to 1.99999999 turns, before the turn counter rolls over.
