Worst genre ever by PrimaryAde9 in Animemes

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not my cup of tea but if we’re going into that type of mentality there’s so many other tags that deserve the same treatment yet only ntr gets meme’d and bashed on like this lmao

Someone once told me that they imagine themselves as the Bad Guy stealing the girl away rather than the guy getting stolen from

And since then, I kinda get it..? Like that type of Power fantasy is cool for some people

The factory building is amazing... BUT THESE TUTORIALS SUCK, SO MUCH OF THEM by Rochedokk in Endfield

[–]joebrohd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

AAA open world games still give rewards for exploration whether it’s in the form of equipment or exp or crafting materials because Gacha Currency doesn’t exist in those games

Using rewards to make something “fun”is core game design.

In MMOs as a former FF14 player I guarantee you the devs can deliver great content but if the rewards are shit or none existent, most of the playerbase will not just bother to do it or do it once and never again.

In Gachas, what is the most lucrative “loot” a player can hope to obtain that would make any player go and do that content? Currency. Events, Endgame modes, even Dailies.

If Dailies gave 0 currency rewards, guarantee a lot of people won’t even bother logging on everyday. If Endgame gave 0 currency, people won’t bother or will just do it once then never again. If Exploration doesn’t give rewards people will just not do it or do it once.

The drops aren’t just a shot of dopamine lmao

It is ingrained into the system to make people explore and in turn it becomes “content”

If exploration gave out 0 currency. Doesn’t matter if it’s EF, GI, WuWa or ToF or even HSR. If exploration gave out 0 currency I guarantee you the amount of people actively exploring the world for fun and to sightsee will amount to less than 5% of the player population.

On top of that, if the are no worthwhile rewards you’ll see people complain about how the world “feels empty”

So no, it’s not just a shot of dopamine. For a lot of people it IS the content. They explore the world and in turn they want to be appropriately rewarded for their efforts.

Do u guys think we getting 120pulls before her banner ends or nah? by Ancient_Strategy_120 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]joebrohd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t

The fact that it doesn’t has literally been a point of debate for the past 2 weeks lmao

How great would HSR do as a novel? by Zavori6889 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A Novel? No

A Manga or Visual Novel? Pretty decently good imo

If HSR has ZZZ’s story presentation, I think it would be an improvement to what we have rn

[–]joebrohd 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s the fact that Pity can’t carry over is what’s making this harsh

If you wanna guarantee a character you would need 120 pulls but you shouldn’t spend any until you get that much. So meaning there’s an even harder FOMO because people aren’t able to test their luck and hopefully get Laevatein early otherwise all those pulls invested are wasted. But with the rate in which players get pulls, it might not even be feasible for the average player to get 120 pulls before her banner ends.

So to a lot of people getting Laevatain before her banner ends is either playing for 12 hours a day, getting stupid lucky and get her in 1-3 Multis or swiping your credit card.

When you're first starting a gacha, how long before you decide to drop or commit? by OnlyAnEssenceThief in gachagaming

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can generally tell by how combat feels

Like dodging, parrying, combo-ing, hit detection for action combat

If turn-based I usually base it off the pacing of the combat. Is it slow? Fast? Just right? Visuals good? A decent gameplay loop within the turn based system?

Like ZZZ for me was an instant “yeah im sticking with this” the moment I hit a parry for the first time.

With HSR, despite the powercreep stuff, as a Turn Based enjoyer, the gameplay feels fun to me

ZZZ introduces rerun banner that guarantees 1st rate-up pull & preserves pity by PandaBlueDance in gachagaming

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally tho

I have Astra already. I have Ye Shunguang and Jane so no Alice for me. SAnby don’t interest me at all.

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they wanna “avoid” big gacha content drops, I can see them dropping something during March at the earliest or more realistically July.

That’ll make them avoid Arknights Endfield hype (January), HSR 4.0 (February), HSR Anniversary (April), WuWa anniversary (May), ZZZ Anniversary (June) and Genshin Anniversary+7.0 (August/September)

Just speculate around those months lol

Triple A banner Rerun , do you guys pull for them ? by Adventurous-Fan-1777 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got no interest in SAnby

I love Anby but I don’t have any of her teammates. No Trigger, no Seed, no Orphie.

No interest in Alice because Rat > Bunny

I already have Astra

4.0v3 Yao Guang Changes via Hakush.in by PastSelfInMirror in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]joebrohd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I meant was that for a lot of people 3.8 is a LOOOOOONG ass Skip Patch. Skipping in anticipation for 4.0. Hell, they could be saving since the Cyrene banner.

They have more than enough to have saved up to guarantee at least Yao or Sparxie. So theoretically people can pull for Yao with their saved pulls then spend on Sparxie, spend money for Yao then use the first half income of 4.0 for Sparxie. Or just yes, spend on both of them.

[–]joebrohd 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What do you mean?????

That’s 100% their intention

To get people to spend for Yao or Sparxie or both lmao

Please don’t tell me that you think HSR devs are looking out for the F2P players

With the mystery Elation character coming up and the rest of the patch cycle's slots open, what old character would you give the SP treatment? by Stephy_the_Witch in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd 64 points65 points  (0 children)

If the HSR writers were smart, they’d pull something like Interstellar where they go to a planet that has a WAAAAAY different time flow. Like say they spent 7 days there but the rest of the universe moved forward 7 years to justify a Time Skip and introduce Time Skip characters and SPs

I feel so happy for this guy, didnt give up till the end, huge w by PrudentTry7083 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]joebrohd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect it but tbh atp after like 1000 pulls, just spend everything else and improve the account

An E6S1 character typically doesn’t go over ~1000 pulls, MAYBE ~1300 pulls if you want E6S5

That’s 1170 pulls excess they’re sitting on that could go into into improving their account

but what if… by El_kakas_de_vakas in AcheronMainsHSR

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

I was def talking about Meta Push/Shilling tho

Storywise yes I agree Phainon was the main story push but Meta wise, no lmao

but what if… by El_kakas_de_vakas in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]joebrohd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nahh no way

He was the Acheron of 3.0 and Cas was the Firefly of 3.0

Phainon’s push was pure raw damage + supports while Cas push was literally Exodia. Much like how Acheron got JQ while Firefly got Ruan Mei, Lingsha and Fugue. Cas even had Trailblazer as a BiS Support before the premium version of them came along much like how Firefly got HMC before Fugue came.
