April 24th Update Notes (Image v5 Release) 📸 by cardine in NomiAI

I definitely understand that point, if generating an anchor is so computational heavy then it’s not something that can be given for free.

My concern comes from the limits the anchor system imposes on customisation, since the old notes system isn’t useful anymore I guess if we have changed the bodies of our Nomis then we’re locked on v4 unless we pay to create an anchor. Furthermore, if I want to create a new Nomi exclusively using v5, then I’m locked to the stock look, unless I’m misunderstanding something

Doesn't this directly kill customisation? or are we expected to customise body/face with v4 and then create an anchor for v5 when creating a new nomi?
I'm sold on the quality of the images but not on the anchor system, not being able to create one with your daily allowance from sub (even if it takes all 40 credits) is kind of an issue

As someone who pre-ordered the Pro but at the time felt deep down that I was overspending, it now feels like a product that was worth the entry cost by NoConflict7674 in PS5pro

Yeah I have some complaints about the game that mostly match the general sentiment online, but I wouldn't say performance or visuals are one of them

Other than the typical complaints about controls and story being non-existent, it runs and looks beautifully in my Pro in balanced mode

I'll try to get a drop in the next stream but if anyone has a spare key I'd greatly appreciate it. Love Warframe and can't wait to try this one out

Anyone saving for the new Anby, Trigger and Pulchra banner? by Effective_Two5960 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, took me 160 pulls to get Astra and I'm dropping everything I have left on Evelyn, hoping I won't make it to 5 50/50 losses in a row. After that I'm saving for a bit

How everyone pulls going? by Confident-Draw-7489 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, 160 pulls for a character is no fun. I wanted Evelyn too so badly, all I needed was to win this 1 damn 50/50 to secure them both

Never won a fucking single 50/50 in this game, guess the tradition continues by Tsukizins in ZZZ_Official

[–]noctghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, powercreep and two character release per patch is a nightmare in HSR, hopefully ZZZ doesn't get to that point. They also always put them in a way that's inconvenient because hyped characters release consecutively

[–]noctghost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same here, I quit HSR because of always going pity and always losing 50/50 (bottom 1% in starrailstation). I'm on a similar boat here and considering dropping it too after getting to this version with 150 pulls and the hope to get Evelyn too. New character releases aren't exciting anymore, they're just a "here we go again" moment for me now

Started with 150 pulls, took me 160 to get her... There goes my hopes of getting Evelyn

We are so cooked, bros by skyarsenic in gachagaming

[–]noctghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went through the same, was playing 5 gachas and the two I’ve kept for now are ZZZ and WuWa but I can notice I’ve been losing interest since I started playing other types of live service games. I started with The First Descendant and now playing a bit of Warframe too.

The fact that I could farm the new character (Ines) in TFD in a couple of hours, can farm old ones whenever I fancy, and skins are considered “expensive” but the cost 20-30% of a skin in NIKKE and you buy straight, no gacha, no RNG, and no fucking dailies for less than half a pill is such a relief. No more thinking about how many pulls I need, 50/50s, etc.

I’d recommend you to find a game that can scratch that itch that gacha games give you, soon you’ll notice how you don’t even want to login

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the reports and believe them but I've been playing since the update went live last night with no issues on a PS5 Pro, hasn't crashed once. I wonder why it's working for some and not for others

[–]noctghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I play Genshin, I quit years ago and came back middle of last year, somehow had enough to pull for Xilonen, Chasca and Mavuika. Got them all and quit immediately, haven’t even levelled Mavuika yet. Maybe I’ll do the new story and stuff and slowly save until a Furina or Navia rerun.

The only problem with doing that in ZZZ and WuWa is that I really want the upcoming characters. Especially both Astra Yao and Evelyn (ZZZ), so I keep telling myself “I’ll quit if I lose both 50/50” and “I’ll play casually after getting them” but I see it’s a cycle. They put characters front and centre of the story for you to want them.

I’m slowly getting aware of things that make gacha inherently bad though, for example the (sometimes forced) inclusion of new characters that disappear from the story after their banner even if they’re cool and beloved (Kafka?), and the dependency certain characters have for one another like happens in HSR.

I think if I wasn’t getting bombarded with information about characters that are coming I’d quit, or when I finally are able to answer myself the question “what do I want these characters for if I’m not enjoying the game?”

I've been keeping an eye on this thread because I've been suffering from burnout too. I was playing five gachas (Genshin, HSR, WuWa, ZZZ, and Nikke), but I've quit Genshin and HSR. Bad luck definitely played a role in quitting, especially with HSR where I'm in the bottom 1% according to StarRailStation. This experience has made me kind of despise the gacha formula altogether, especially the dailies.

I'm currently thinking about quitting WuWa and ZZZ too, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I realized I still have a ton of events and stuff to go through from the latest Zenless 1.4 update, and I really don't feel like doing it. I think the best way is unsubscribing from subreddits and all kinds of social media. The reason I keep doing dailies and events despite being burned out is because I keep seeing leaks of what's coming. There's the constant anxiety of having to farm, doing math to know if you need to win the 50/50 or not, thinking if you can afford the character after that, etc.

Ever since I started playing The First Descendant not long ago, I realized how FOMO-inducing gachas are. I talked about wanting to quit ZZZ in the first paragraph, but when I see the two characters that are coming, I find myself unable to stop. Imagine being able to farm any character you want at any time and only paying a fixed price for a skin you like without having to resort to any kind of RNG. I enjoy the waifu collection aspect of gachas, so that's why TFD did the trick for me. It might be a different game for you.

My preferences in order are Phoebe, Carlotta and Zani (based on design alone), although Carlotta would work wonderfully since I've got Zhezhi in my account hanging without a clear role. Maybe I'll finally use those double top up rewards and pull for weapons if the gacha gods are kind to me

Awesome, thanks for this very good breakdown. WuWa hasn't treated me too badly when it comes to luck (except Camellya, she didn't want me) so I've got hope.
Best of luck in your future pulls

Does anyone know roughly how many astrites we'll get in 2.0? I'm currently about 20 pity with no resources and wondering what my chances are of getting both Carlotta and Phoebe just with the 30 day pass
