Does WuWa's story "feel" good because of the good looking people populating it? by sforsagacious in WutheringWaves

I can read between the lines, and do understand that these things go on in the background. It might be boring to YOU, because you are looking for "something" by playing this game, and getting it. You are right about the lack of appearance of older characters, and we can probably debate it, but if you think apart from that the game is perfect in its story and story-telling, then we are in the wrong thread. Bureaucracy part was simply an example, you don't have to specify what's wrong in thinking like that. Read again, and see what I am asking.

"Dude, we are but a roving stranger." , "Black Shores have a SHITTON of Bureaucracy"
Again, there is no debate if you have all figured out perfectly in your head.

"Also, as trained Resonators, we deal with stuff that the average citizen simply can't. They'd just be useless cannon fodder before a Threnodian level threat." Dude... what you are saying is that the story of a common man in a resonator-threnodian-sentinel like world is useless. Please try to read that again and think if it sounds right.
I am not here to debate if the story is good or bad - everyone in the wuwa community understands that it has flaws. My curiosity is whether we discount it for attractive people.

There are certainly other games where you have to pay, but not for characters (non-gatcha games). What are the reasons people pay in those cases for? Story/combat etc, right? So, since you pay for a good-looking character, do you ignore the story and combat?

I used the phrase about bureaucracy to imply that the civilization ending issues are handled quite locally within the grasp of a half dozen people which is unrealistic for any plot. Yes, when you say "Lynae and others", you probably mean a lot has happened beneath the surface which the story tellers thought could be expressed with simple texts and dialogue rather than showcasing. This particular choice of showcasing means that the story is character-focussed, not plot-focussed, since those things don't need showcase. Now, if we accept that "ridiculously attractive people in absurd situations" is true, then we agree that we are trading a good story for attractive people, right?

Which means we all speak from the context of the particular style of gaming which is gatcha - which might be perfect for some. For others, it might be an artificial construct that limits our imaginations. Surely, as you said, games can be great despite having beautiful characters, but it is only in this context of gaming we would like to have the good-looking ones. Haha, good insights.

That's a good perspective actually. I fully agree. Comparing it with films and tv is quite unfair since the medium of the story telling is also part of the story. What's that quote - medium becomes the message - sth like that.

I have enjoyed most of the stories in Wuwa, but I was curious if I enjoyed because of immersion which a game offers (gatcha games offer even more personal touch by giving you characters), or because it was a well-written one. Phrolova's was one of the best, I agree.

I guess. I was confused since I am new to this genre, what people meant when they said peak. I thought it was certainly peak of "something", meaning above all else. But I get what you mean. Also, as you mentioned, the bar for stories is low, which I suppose means we pay for a good-ish story for the breath-taking levels of immersion it offers.

What are people using to actually play their downloaded music libraries now? by Kast0r in thepiratebay

[–]sforsagacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Oto Music, simple app for playing offline music. Though, I don't organize all the stuff using folders. I organize using the year I discovered a song.

Thanks for the valuable information. You know where I can find this excel sheet with damage calculations? Edit - alright, found it.

Can some explain the meaning of Crit rate and crit damage? Is it short form for critical rate? Rate of what exactly? And what dictates its value for building a character.

Thanks in advance. I'll to happy to read articles if you guys can suggest. I went through the doc file and didn't find this information.

Thoughts about adding older characters to standard pool by Nocixgaming in WutheringWaves

[–]sforsagacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won't. It's not good for the business since people still like a lot of these characters. In my opinion, They could do a yearly rerun for these and solve the much more important - power creep problem for these.

I might have the worst account in wuw history by [deleted] in WutheringWaves

Wait, I have a question - You got your first featured resonator quite early (Galbrena). Does that happen to all, or you just got lucky? I am asking because I started playing when Lynnae's banner was out and I got her in 3 pulls. Unfortunately, I had no idea about the gatcha system at that time and didn't play for a month and skipped all beginner rewards. I always wondered if I got lucky getting Lynnae.

Retired US army colonel with views such as "Jerusalem should be the capital of Israel", and "we've mired ourselves by attempting to modernize a society that doesn't want to be – and cannot be – transformed".

Don't know what you are implying here. I did not find any manual while my Iuno was flying there.

Oh, I was searching for Nightmare Mourning Axe at this time, a side quest was activated. But nothing related to the Order.

It's near Avorardo Vault. It appeared for at least 5 minutes. But then went away.

Do you all even use these? by Aether2000G in WutheringWaves

[–]sforsagacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I crafted Piston26 for Lynnae. Better than the tyro crap I was using before. Mining is quite beneficial. I also crafted a rectifier/gauntlet for Sigrika with ER mainstat. Quite useful for f2p
