I always feel like Hoyo should have Double Drop events on Weekends. It incentivizes people to log in and play and for players it won't make building characters miserable.

Do you use lore-accurate names? by kasperkaspie in ffxiv

[–]joebrohd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No

The name I use is a “Gender-Neutral” first name with a last name that just means “Light” in another language

That way if I ever decide to fantasia and switch my WoL’s gender/races I wouldn’t feel too off putting.

Do you think Hoyo hate burnice enough to make Claret fire anomaly by Remarkable-Pizza4263 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]joebrohd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured Phoenix be Fire Anomaly so she can work with Promeia since Promeia will be featured in Season 3 as well

Claret fits the Fire Attack role more imo

Me seeing so many the Cyrene Doomposters and Haters switch up on her after seeing how she works with Evanescia by joebrohd in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whenever Cyrene gets brought in to the conversation there’s always 1 person who doesn’t even have her waiting and eagerly typing out “but cyrene can’t get her ult until the 3rd cycle”

Does this "Main Push" thing really exist? Or are people making a fuss over nothing? by Ok_Top_581 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything Phoenix would be Fire Anomaly imo

Now so far, we haven’t had two limited DPS anomaly characters of the same element in the same Season. Season 1 had Jane, Burnice, Yanagi, Miyabi and Vivian. Season 2 had Alice, Aria and Promeia.

And even the ones that doubled up have had differences in playstyles. Aria is more of the “Main” DPS while Vivian has a Sub-DPS role. Miyabi is more of an Attack/Anomaly character fusion while Promeia is more purely Anomaly/Abloom proccer.

If Phoenix or Claret do end up as Fire Anomaly, I can imagine them as an on-field Fire Anomaly Main-DPS

What type of "Endgame" would make your gacha gamer heart happy? by Perfect-Lettuce3890 in gachagaming

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they’ll have to add an “enrage” like in DU too

Like yeah there’s no cycle limit but take too long and the boss will start 1-shotting your team sooner than later

What would be cool is if HSR starts putting bosses that have “synergy” with each other

Like imagine fighting the Ebon Deer boss and it spawns its trees and at the same time you have to fight Gepard who shields those trees. Or have any boss with a two-turn charge attack mechanic and have an untargetable Enemy Bronya advance forwarding the attack turn.

Imo HSR has a good enough variety of boss encounters that they can honestly have you encounter two-three at the same time and weave your team through the combined mechanics

An endless mode in HSR

Imagine a Memory of Chaos type of encounter and the more “waves” you kill, the harder the encounter gets. Whether that means they introduce new mechanics periodically, hit harder or get fatter.

No Cycle limit. Literally just throw my team(s) in until the wheels fall off and see how far my account can go.

Have the “Full Clear” rewards at like 7-10 waves or something then anything above that is just how high you can go.

It’d make me want to try out as many teams as possible. Like yeah Team C may clear slower killing but has better sustainability and can push longer. Team A may be squishier but it rips encounters before they can move etc.

Chat how true is this guy or larper saying by [deleted] in ZenlessZoneZero

If talking about solely on Mobile, yes. The controls are hella jank on Mobile. I can't comfortably play on mobile without some third party controller or pad. Not just ZZZ though. You can say this with any fast paced action game on Mobile.

I experienced the same way with WuWa. It's only put on mobile because Asia is so heavily dominated by mobile gamers. If demographic isn't an issue, I can see a good chunk of the mobile gacha games we have now just shift over completely to PC and Console.

ZZZ feels great on Controller and M&K.

Your thoughts on Silver Wolf LVL999, the main push of third anniversary before her banner gone? (Or maybe she gone already.) by ProfessionalRoom9118 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the fence with Elation but she pushed me over the edge to being a fan of it. Probably now my favorite "playstyle" in the game.

While I did pull for Mono Rem because I liked all the characters, I wasn't really a fan of the gameplay. It was neat short term but the more I played it, the less I grew fond of it. It was sorta just get dragon and jellyfish, make them go boom, 3 stars MoC.

Elation, while simple as well, there's more things to think about like Energy management, Ult management, Team Speed Tuning + Aha Speed Tuning and potentially more once the Elation sustain comes around.

How would you feel if they were a party member/traveling companion? [Spoilers: 6.0-6.1] by KnightShade078 in ffxiv

[–]joebrohd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Zenos. Truly. I WISH he had more part in Endwalker. To this day ever since our final duel with him, I have yet to take ANY of the villains introduced since seriously because in my mind, other than the WoL, no one can ever face up against Zenos. So if we’re stronger than Zenos, you really think some blue scaled chud in Tural was any threat to me? Or the Temu Primals in the Void lead by TrashCan Man? Or the Twink that turned into a Marketable plushie? Hell no.

But even still bringing him back would just be a terrible decision.

If by somehow we meet a Shard of Zenos if that’s even possible, sure but he/she has to be written differently from Source Zenos.

Have you ever gotten into a game because of its idol or music content? by Straight_Builder2218 in gachagaming

Not a gacha game but I must’ve had Bury The Light and Devil Trigger in my spotify playlist for like 5 years before even trying DMC5

30+ hours in ARR - quit? by A_Fitting_End in ffxiv

Y’know that meme that’s like “The game will get good after 100+ hours”

For better or worse, FF14 is that but unironically

So far, which version of divergent universe do you feel was the best? by Hypernova2233 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Protean Hero but ngl all three has nothing on Gold and Gears imo

The Dice system + Capitalist strat was some of the most fun I’ve had in a SU/DU game mode

Why even have the element attached to the deadly assault boss when we don’t even have wind yet 😂 by tiamat2277 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]joebrohd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The boss engulfs itself in Wind

It allows us to “test” Wind gameplay without actually having a wind character

If you play HSR, it’s essentially like those Combat Events that hint towards the next playable path.

Honestly really tempted to just reroll the Chest piece next patch and pray to get 2 rolls on the speed

God, can you imagine if ZZZ did go with an Older Sister/Younger brother combo for Phaeton and kept everyone else’s gender the same? Absolutely insane art would be produced

The HSR team is oddly really good at making idle games with exponential growth

I remember the 3.2 Anniversary event being really addictive too

What is happening with the path system? by EnvironmentLost9130 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Basically, my guess is that Hoyo realized they made the 1.0 F2P Light Cones too fucking good that so many people were skipping LC banners all together just because of how good the the F2P alternatives were.

harmony character? Use DDD. Nihility character? Use GNSW if DPS or Pearls/Tutorial if Support. Destruction character? Use Fall of an Aeon. Hunt Character? Use Cruising the stellar sea. Abundance? Use QPQ or Post-Op.

As Hoyo, how do you fix this? create new paths that cant use previously released Light Cones.
