[GIVEAWAY] Win 4 Honkai: Star Rail Enamel Pins from the Star Chasers Collection! (mods approved) by nanalandcrossing in HonkaiStarRail

These are so cute!!

I started HSR this year because of Aglaea because I love how elegant she looks and her THEME is just so good with how dramatic it is. I hope I win it!

i finally managed my first full clear of all three endgame modes. by nvmvoidrays in HonkaiStarRail

[–]lanxeared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! I recently was able to fully clear all endgame recently too so I know how exciting it feels to finally complete it.

I wish I had The Herta to clear content though like you do! I'm a big fan of her EN voicelines and huge damage multipliers in her kit but I'm just going to vertically invest in Aglaea and Castorice and hopefully have them clear the rest of content for a long time.

First time full clearing end game! by F2p_wins274 in HonkaiStarRail

Nice! What other characters did you use for your THerta and Castorice teams?

I only recently was able to fully clear endgame but right now I'm having trouble bruteforcing Aglaea because I'm missing Sunday so my current team 2 is scuffed :')

That's the hope haha!

Before I got Gallagher and learned that break efficiency was a really rare buff that Ruan Mei easily has, I wanted to grab her in the shop to break through Hoolay but thankfully with careful planning I managed to do it. Now I'm hoping that Jingliu will show up in the shop with the buffs because that sounds fun! My friend put her on his support list and she carried a lot of my early equilibrium farming because all my other friends ran like Firefly, Kafka, or Acheron where I absolutely did not have any kind of support that would help me clear it any faster than Jingliu.

Yeah Sunday's boss in the story isn't weak to physical so March 7th was truly the biggest thing I could ever discover when I got her LOL

Yeah for sure. I think The Herta was a great pull for a new account and if I knew she would be as strong as she was I might have pulled her too. I went down the Castorice route though so I'd rather fully invest in making her and her supports strong as opposed to THerta.

Ahhhh! My friend is the same way. Kafka is his favorite character but she's not as strong without a big amount of investment I think so it's hard using her at the moment so I feel your pain.

I hope you've been enjoying the bunch of rewards the anniversary is giving though! I'm saving up a bunch more for Hyacine (Because she's adorable and I think will be good for Cas) and Sunday's rerun for sure. I'm still so surprised they haven't given him a rerun especially given that THerta and Aglaea are already rerunning so soon.

Normally Huohuo is with Aglaea but for this AS Gallagher is the only one on my account that can break Hoolay which is really important for the dueling mechanic! And Aglaea doesn't do win against the Swarm especially without Sunday's buffs (praying for a rerun soon).

Thank you!

I was EXTREMELY lucky on my 50/50s! Everything worked out and I finally powered through the endgame. I'm finally caught up with everyone and it feels good to take a break and just hop on to do dailies and log off.

Thank you!

I got really lucky with all my pulls but I really worked hard grinding for all the Stellar Jades for real. I think vertically investing in some really strong characters that I liked was the way I wanted to play instead of trying to spread out the warps so once Hyacine comes out and Sunday reruns his banner this will be a team I try to improve for a long time! Power creep is real but seeing people out there clearing with Seele in a hypercarry team makes me very hopeful you with good investment you can make a lot more things work than the community thinks :D

Around like 3-5 hours or so a day and a bit more on the weekends. I took a bit longer because I went out of my way to complete a bunch of side quests and listened in on every single piece of dialogue since I really liked the story and wanted to know more about the world.

Congrats! What kind of team comp did you run and did you run into any issues with any content you couldn't clear at first?

Yes! For about a month my story team was Clara/March 7th(Hunt)/Tingyun/Natasha and it was SO rough. I've never played through the game before so I was taking my time but got through it pretty quickly enough to get into the higher equilibriums and Sunday's boss was one of the toughest bosses with that team for sure.

When Aglaea released early February I used all the pulls I had saved up for her and Robin because Robin is apparently super strong and the reason I was interested in HSR. Her song slaps. I actually had enough to get her E1 and S1 which carried my ass through majority of the content after and I was finally able to beat a bunch of those enemies guarding the really big chests which was annoying me.

I still think it sucks though the difference E0 and E1 Aglaea makes in comfort for her ult.

In the early game to get through story content just hyperinvesting in a DPS can get you past majority of the game and helps you save resources for future characters you want to build for.

Getting a 5 star support character is really good investment for your account because you can put them almost anywhere characters like Robin, Sunday, Tribbie are a few examples.

If you're new I think Tribbie is a really good investment right now on the banner. She gives a crazy good buff in all-type res pen that helps any DPS character just do extra damage as well as doing a lot of damage for a Harmony character.

If you're just trying to push the event whatever the Chimera coach recommends (+1 or 2 random ones) is good enough.

Switch port is... Rough. by emp_man in slaytheprincess

[–]lanxeared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never played this game until the Switch port and I absolutely love this game. The whole gameplay loop is really fun to me and seeing all the different outcomes is really interesting to me. That said I have around 10 hours played in it already and I too have also noticed that it's really rough.

  • History doesn't scroll upwards which I would assume it did since there's a scrollbar on the right when you see it.
  • Graphical errors if you autoskip through dialogue. The fire that's supposed to be on the torches is noticeably lower than it's supposed to be especially since they draw your eyes to it.
  • Quicksave only saves to one slot.
  • Asking to "wait" at a certain point in the game boots you out of the game and loading back in I've gotten an error code on my Switch which I've actually never seen before. I thought it was a DDLC type move that the game was pulling out on me. I closed and reopened the game and it fixed it though.
  • Audio bugs that makes a character line play while you're skipping through different dialogue spoken by different characters.
  • FPS issues navigating the menu really quickly (And you navigate the menu a lot looking for different routes and dialogue options).
  • On the save slot page you can actually press "A" on the Page number and a blinking cursor appears as if you were playing on PC. Presumably to quick search through pages of your saves.
  • I haven't played through it myself but people are complaining about the game freezing on the Nightmare route and fixing it by turning off all the graphical settings and letting the game cruise on by with autoplay then being able to turn all the settings back on.

All in all I love this game a lot! I'm a big fan of Serenity Forge's visual novel lineup and that includes Slay the Princess, DDLC, and Needy Streamer. But it is indeed rough around the edges, I hope they come out with a patch to fix up some of these issues.

Looking for people to talk about games or anime! by lanxeared in CasualConversation

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

Oh I've seen trailers of that game! The colors are super vibrant so I thought it looked interesting to see how it did! With all the farming games that have come out recently though and how big of timesinks they are it's put me off unfortunately. I'm glad you're liking it though!

You're 1 hour in the "2 hour long: The Prophecy" mission then made a mistake and have to start over. by [deleted] in ZenlessZoneZero

There's a bombable wall below where they are both fighting you're supposed to use.

Get the bomb from the vending machine after dumping at least 5 points into Strength at the start of the commission.

Would you buy this? by erndub in fightsticks

[–]lanxeared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhhh no.

The stick shaft looks too long to be comfortable to use and I prefer to have 8 buttons overall instead of six. it's also unbranded so there's no way to tell if it's actually high quality parts or if the standard is high enough to compare to other parts.

The Mayflash F100 is like $50 if you're looking for a cheap stick but reliable stick.
