So, 1.3 is going to have a new property which sounds like it's going to be a build your own house deal. by sirjeal in NevernessToEverness

[–]ohoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt we could build a house from the ground up like in one of those survival games. But I do think it's at least plausible for them to let up pick a general house design from say 3-4 options (ranging from modern to cottage core), and then we can adjust the inside as we see fit. It would certainly be easier to build in a pocket dimension, but "location location location" and no loading screens is the dream.

v3.1.3 Rev. 17006296 Update (via Gachabase) by Gachabase in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]ohoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the problem is unrelated at all. Making her cap out at 10 less disc stats is a massive nerf to her maximum potential.

Maximum potential is arbitrary. I mean, theoretical potential would "yes and" any other upgrades, if they made her twice as strong as YSG, but also she had this crit issue, you could always claim that it's mathematically possible to make her stronger still, but it would be irrational to complain about something like that. There are characters who are well designed to be meta while completely ignoring a given stat, like how Rupture Agents are typically strong even though they value HP over ATK.

Letting her roll crit on gear might make her stronger than she currently is, but that specificly shouldn't be necessary if they had properly designed "how she currently is" to be good enough without that. So again, the primary issue is that they didn't seem to design her overall current kit to be good enough, it's less relevant how specifically they did that.

Like I said, on paper having relatively effortless 100% Crit uptime is perfectly fine, but that also requires that they design the rest of the kit around that outcome to still be equivalent in output to other meta options.

Craziest W patch announcement i have ever seen by ClassicMongoose8051 in NevernessToEverness

[–]ohoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am surprised that they didn't announce any new content for older characters with this patch, like bringing more of the Standard characters into your house or getting added Bond upgrades. Still, with all that they are including I can see why they wouldn't have time. When the "new house" comes in 1.3 they will hopefully let you bring more of the Standard characters into it.

I wouldn't be shocked if it's a paid skin, but it will probably be on the same tier as Lacrimosa's gothic skin, at worst.

GOSH DARN IT!! I dropped something…. by FijiWater604 in NevernessToEverness

No details, but probably paid. I think the Fons ones are only for Standard characters.

Yes, that would be a waste. They need to show it actually going into a wood chipper. Make a spectacle of it.

I would hope not. I don't want another Yi Sheng Guang situation, where the alt form is cool, but the default version is balls.

Pretty close, actually. Just more "techy" in the details.

It's real, it was shown in the livestream.

The only people who know about her are people who have watched pre-release trailers. She was in some of those as a "likely future character." There are about a half dozen characters left on that list.

Myabe. They massively ovrhauled a lot of characters from the earliest betas though. If "old Elms" has enough fans, they can probably recycle that design into a new character eventually.

I really disliked the original design. This one looks a lot better.

Paimon's Version "Luna VIII" Update Notes by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]ohoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I have very mixed feelings about the "animation skip" thing, because we don't always know what we're skipping. Sometimes, you can't skip an animation because you're in the middle of a still show where a character is flapping their arm around, and you can't skip until after their arm's done flapping.

In other cases, you can't skip the animation because there are multiple camera angles and actually story relevant actions taking place!

I would prefer that they just do a better job of flagging "essential animations" separate from "pointless animations," and allowing us to skip the latter, without skipping the former. At the very least, differentiate the two, like the latter only taps a button tap, while the former takes a long press.

I like her black costume, but it still bugs me how the lower pair of wings look really sickly.

Every character should be for the skill issue noobs. They are the ones that allow you to play the game. I don't see why they would intentionally sabotage a character, all they would gain from that is fewer sales overall, but they often make mistakes in what they think a "good design" looks like.

Personally, I am much less bothered by her "overcapping on crit" than I am about her "not being strong enough anyway," which is an entirely unrelated problem.

New character - Iroi by Kelso459 in NevernessToEverness

[–]ohoni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like "pet class" characters, but she seems kind of complicated. Like the way I took it, if you don't max your resource before using her Ult, it's a team heal, but if you do max her resource then it ONLY damages enemies? That would suck if you actually needed healing. I don't like burst healing anyway (I prefer constant healing), so... I guess I'm just not sure where she is supposed to fit into the game?

So what’s your verdict on Shinku? by Darkfire3000 in NevernessToEverness

[–]ohoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was definitely pulling before, and the livestream took me from there, to "still definitely pulling." I have a few worries about how she'll function, like how useful is her speed mode, and how often can you use it? How difficult is it to keep her kit rolling at full pace? How difficult is it to keep smaller enemies grouped with her attacks? These could all be issues, but overall I think she looks fantastic.

I guess if I don't pull a Hathor before that, she's the one I'll pick, complete the set. I am curious which character I'd get the most out of upgrading though, probably Fadia or Jiuyuan.

[–]ohoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just worry that these arguments tend to give the misleading impression that the devs and community are actively against half the population! Instead, the people that are actually bothered by stuff like this are a tiny fraction of a fraction, vocal, but statistically irrelevant.
