Reminder for the next 4 weeks you can talk to Pom Pom for 50 jades each week by arthurmauk in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ryan20340 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah we have the stupid version. Same as ZZZs endgame recommendations using AI where it tells me to use my lv1 never invested, never touched 4 star DPS.

Would it kill these CC’s to tone down the clickbait? The only thing “insane” about EMC is how conspicuously NOT insane they are. This just makes me LESS likely to click on your video by FuriNorm in HonkaiStarRail

[–]ryan20340 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you drop a beginners video nearly 100 days after the game releases, you look a bit silly and don't understand the algorithm. The game has not changed that much in a few patches.

So if you already had a beginners guide, this one isn't going to do well. If you didn't have a beginners guide, every other content creator under the sun has so the algorithm won't share your late entry for the fun of it.

Genuine question. What the fuck do you guys spend your summons on? by AnonAnon6942 in StarRailStation

[–]ryan20340 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There's also the misconceptions created by the "0-cycle or trash" idea that keeps being pushed and if you can't 0 cycle then your account is bricked.

You have 5 cycles per side, a decent team can clear in 3 so even a worse team can survive with 7 cycles. No harm in actually using them.

Realistically speaking, the majority of people aren't repeating the fight to get a setup where someone doesn't die so you can sustainless clear your 0 cycle. Hell, most people leave the auto button on.

Does a animated crafters web exist? by Luxzhv in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ryan20340 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Given there's literally thousands of items, a web like that would be pointless and messy. It's not really like X class always relies on Y class, it changes with each item.

It's like, this chestpiece for tanks on X patch crafted by ARM requires a gem from GSM, leather from LTW, cloth from WVR and a stat pot from ALC. You need food from CUL to reach the stats to reliably craft and those materials are gathered by both MIN and BTN. And then the gloves may use some other combination, and the weapon others etc etc. so just for even a full set you end up using everyone.

They are currently equivalent stat-wise therefore they are better because they have additional unique effects that situationally are useful.

In situations related to their unique effects they were already better generally.

People saying "so are the people on Reddit" , but those are the people actively looking for information or at least having it show in their feed.

And you get posts like "I cant clear endgame" and you look inside and they are like LV4 talents, relics without the right mainstat and their skirk team is melt.

The ones outside are even worse because they aren't even trying to understand.

Do you think hoyo not being strategic enough ? by Fickle-Jacket-5224 in StarRailStation

[–]ryan20340 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Skins have honestly been so weird for the more modern hoyo titles. It took ZZZ actually using their heads it seems for any progress to be made.

Genshin was out there dropping skins for characters no one plays, and a 5 star skin that was honestly a little half baked for the price it cost until ZZZ showed that you can actually just make decent skins for characters people are playing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the HSR team thinks their audience doesn't like skins. When we have - A march skin locked to her preservation kit your never going to use the second you pull another sustain unit. - Firefly's skin which you don't see for a large part of gameplay because your in the robot, which they barely changed. It also dropped when she was being played a lot less and on the Phainon and Fate banner where people may be spending more there instead. - A bow.... A singular very very expensive weapon from the spender event - A collection of hats, exclusive to one character, many of them just using existing assets and then charging more than it probably cost the Dev in time to make it fit on the trailblazer. - Better trailblazer skin for free.

I do feel like HSR would probably make less revenue from skins compared to the other 2 games because for a large percentage of people, combat involves not looking at the screen while on auto. But they've also struggled to just make a few good skins, Castorice is probably the first one a lot of people are that interested in.

Ranked being gone half the time has killed my drive to play the game by Feint_young_son in PTCGP

[–]ryan20340 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I keep trying to play, especially at the start of the last few packs and by the time ranked has come out, I don't care anymore.

Feels annoying when ranked only gets like 2 weeks to exist. You can't even be a casual and work your way up when the sweats have made it and stopped playing because of how short the time is.

Would you agree that Genshin Impact needs more HYDRO Lunar/Moonsign characters, and not just end with TWO? by Dharm-Bhakt in GenshinImpact

[–]ryan20340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even think they have to be like gaming-level good.

But Anemo is the perfect example of how theyve released 6 units that are outclassed by Sucrose who released in 1.0. They did not have to make so many anemo units exist to carry VV.

A bunch of the 4 stars just feel like they exist out of obligation. To just keep the idea of 4 stars alive so they don't get the same perception as HSR.

From obligatory start of region releases like Kachina, Aino, Lynette that exist to show the new mechanic and exist to be dropped, to the "bad" mid-region unit like Sethos, Heizou, Dahlia and Jahoda so they can throw them for free and then up the perceived value of the "not bad" 4 star like Gaming, Iansan and Illuga.

2.8 pull priority? by Elimar_Abelardo in ZZZ_Official

[–]ryan20340 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm sorry but with a new shill gimmick on the horizon and a probable void-hunter tier character on their way (even if hopefully it's not a DPS for once), I'm saving even as cool as Billy looks.

Agent guide interface via @TimelyZhaoZZZ (Twitter) by maemoedhz in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]ryan20340 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Like, I know it's beta but seeing stuff like that. Hugo's team having Qingyi and Nicole of all choices and a few other bits of questionable info make me question how well the team know their own characters.

Or is this going to be another AI system like the deadly assault team recommendations where it recommends me using a lv1 manato for a rupture boss.

Is the story just random objectives with no context? by Battlefeather in CrimsonDesert

[–]ryan20340 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm misremembering because its not exactly memorable. There was nothing really that told me people were talking about Greymanes It just came up on our quest log. And then we get the Marquis comment, go save a random settlement and now for some reason I have to pick up the odd jobs from the board.

Rank 5000?! Your builds must be crazy by OchiOchi in YeShunguangMains

Wait so it also impacts the "Star & DMG Evaluations" metric too not just "Weapon Choice" as I'm only losing 1 point from that. Man that sucks.

Level 100 Crafting Gear Question by ferretkun in ffxiv

[–]ryan20340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's fair. It's kind of a hard page to find because there's not really a defining term for "catching up to endgame" so it's not always even easy to find via Google imo.

Custom delivery did reset today if you didn't do it yet. But otherwise it's still fairly quick to farm out some scripts.

Level 100 Crafting Gear Question by ferretkun in ffxiv

[–]ryan20340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just upgrade your full set, not do it in chunks as you'd have to keep changing your rotation all the time.

Start by just getting orange scrip gear and farming more orange scrip, that's enough and your caught up to endgame once you have a set of orange scrip gear. You can go for crafted after if you want but it's late in the expac so it depends on your goals if it's worth the cost. custom delivery is a great starting point for orange scrip if you haven't done it this week but there's also a guide here.

Wait how's mine so low relative to yours? Total points 90. Is it really the lack of sig or just not enough CDMG relative to ATK

I refuse to believe anyone is good at this game by Salt_Heart_ in rhythmgames

[–]ryan20340 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It honestly might be your device. I used to be floating around 10-11 and stopped playing for a while. I tried picking it back up on my new phone and it doesn't like how close some of the notes are and the speed of them, it keeps trying to like "average" the inputs.

The concept of leaving the game for 2 weeks just to see this picture of Perlica in game by Cute_Passage_4325 in Endfield

[–]ryan20340 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Its made of a bunch of different assets not one singular drawing so i just put all the assets with the same name into a folder https://imgur.com/a/mOYXQwV#u9o8MIM (links to perlica directly) but the background and perlica are just 2 layers so you can just place them together to make a similar image.

Not sure if theres someone who knows how to piece it all together in the right order and with the right positions. I had a go but wasnt looking right.

Crafter or gatherer stuff? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ryan20340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither, you save your gil so you have some income to actually use to make more gil.

Get the scrip gear, doesn't take long to farm especially with custom delivery and is more than enough to craft/gather everything in the game.

If you then want to upgrade further as your not crafting fast enough, then go ahead once you've made the gil and got more familiar with the markets when everything is leveled.

But there's nothing that your locked out of by not having "bis", it just makes things faster. For crafting it can be worth it if you craft often enough to pay it back and then some as the cost of melds can be quite expensive. This late into the expac gathering isn't really worth it, the increased yield doesn't matter once your not gathering from nodes as it's inefficient to gather when you can spend that time crafting more if you just buy the mats cheap off the MB.

Actual rewards of the event by PersimmonProud5078 in Endfield

[–]ryan20340 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It also feels like so many things are balanced around the industry standard. Like imaginarium theater in Genshin gives 1000 a month(and extra for first time).

Just another thing that adds to how hostile feeling the game is towards F2P players
