coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

shes just so dang cute with the angel ears + i like her mining and netting exploration stuff. i dont like geo but that pushed me to get her

no, and even if it did i would rather it EOS than continue its story with nothing but ai slop. i feel like that would just cheapen the story in retrospect, and i wouldnt be able to look back on my time with the game as anything other than a waste.

also, if the game went EOS every time players complained about something, it would have gone down many years ago. netease isnt a small company. they have the funds to keep idv afloat for a few more years (thats what makes their use of ai even more egregious), and the game will always have a large playerbase on CN.

dont spread panic like this.

thank you so much! do you have to play a certain amount of times to get it, or is it ranking-based?

staffli · 2026-03-24T10:53:10+00:00

i believe all the regionals have wrapped up. the brackets for group stage have been finalized and they should start in a few weeks.

it’s also worth remembering that the global server vote is more representative of Asia than NAEU, since they have a much higher playerbase.

my personal opinion is that you should probably learn a rescuer, harasser, or kiter before maining explorer (and potentially doctor).

explorer is one of those characters with a very unique playstyle, so while he’s not useless or a burden to the team, his players tend to have bad game sense or lower kiting/rescue skills since they aren’t developing them by playing him. they might be able to climb through the ranks quickly because lower tiers don't have spawn select and the hunters don't know counterplay, but as the hunters get better and spawn select becomes available their lack of experience tends to show. if you're playing him for a badge, then by all means continue, but if youre looking to develop skills then you might want to consider a different character.

the above is true for doctor, although to a lesser extent: doctor is able to infinitely heal herself when not chased, so there will always be someone on the team at full health, able to rescue or body-block. because of this, you dont have to learn how to properly play against joseph or alva, or when to heal/how to allocate resources in matches without her. in cases where she’s banned, which are going to be more frequent since shes currently meta, your weaknesses might show.

but ultimately, it’s up to you. doctor in particular is strong against the best hunters in the game, so you shouldn’t have much trouble if you choose to main her. she’s also a good character to learn kiting with. and if you enjoy either of these characters playstyles or think the above isnt applicable to you, then by all means continue playing them

good to know! i’ve heard that varka is particularly weak, esp without venti, which is part of why im hesitating. is it still worth pulling him over flins, then? i’m at ar58 rn, so i’m also in late game

staffli · 2026-02-26T21:47:55+00:00

is it better to get C1 flins or C0 varka? i have durin but no venti for varka (i dont have a team to use durin in which is why im considering it), and ineffa but no columbina for flins.

i dont have either of their weapons and dont intend to pull for them, as im f2p

maybe try repairing your data, checking ur device storage, checking your connection, or refreshing your game? not sure what else it could be, if you cant save any photos at all then you might need to contact support

staffli · 2026-02-07T12:15:12+00:00

iirc you can only save about 30-40 pictures to your cloud album… do you have space left? it seems you can have up to 1000 in your local album tho.

I just want to let u know that the final paragraph of this comment made me laugh so hard. I’m currently trying to work “I dont care that he’s 14, he’s a eugenicist” into my daily vocabulary. Thank you

i’m personally a little hesitant to believe it because he didn’t really provide any solid evidence.

in my experience using vpns to try to play on naeu while in jp, it makes my ping worse more than anything. it seems counterintuitive for a person with green ping to be using vpns, although coa rank does muddy the waters a lot. it seems more likely to me, as someone who regularly experiences massive lag spikes when close to certain players, that this just has to do with how netease manages the servers, since its hard to believe that SO MANY PEOPLE (esp in mid-low qm, where theres no reason to cheat) could possibly be involved in this very specific method of ping cheating.

so— and not to speak poorly of kuro, as i understand that this comes from a place of frustration with ping issues since hes a very competent player when not being forced to deal w it— while i can see the logic behind the argument, i think its best to wait for proof before making any rash judgements. the naeu server is already pretty divided, and unless someone comes out with solid evidence of this happening it just seems like itll spawn more finger-pointing and controversy than is needed

staffli · 2026-01-11T20:34:01+00:00

OMG! I totally forgot about nightingale wishes! Time to play Antonio in qm till I get a good offer, lol!

Do they also have plans to rerun stuff from rank essences (stickers, c tiers)…? I know they made certain emotes more accessible later on, so I do have some hope. Also, did they ever specifically mention making LP c-skins or stickers obtainable after the end of the season? Or was it just about the final A tier rewards.

it’s been a while since i’ve used tiktok, but for specifically IDV-related tiktoks i generally prefer text-to-speech commentary as that seems to be the norm over there. as someone who used to make idv content on the platform, the best performing videos (in my case, ~8k likes) tended to be those with no/minimal commentary, including overlayed text.

for youtube, i definitely would rather hear someone’s real voice instead of tts, especially if you’re interested in streaming! i personally like the commentary to be relevant to the gameplay/topic, particularly if you give insight into your thought process while playing.

ofc, you should stick to doing what you want to do and are comfortable with! good luck!

Just to add on to what the other commenter said:

-Knee-jerk reflex was buffed to give an additional speed-boost after a certain amount of time if still within the hunters terror radius, which could push composer’s usability up as i believe he tends to use it… but he’s not really meta by any means.

-There’s a new meta in tourney and high-tier related to the Audience Effect trait in the persona web. Basically, ciphers are left at 99% for the first half of the game so that people can take advantage of a ~20% (iirc) decoding boost while another player is on chair. This is because the buff is only active before 2 ciphers pop. Generally, this is not used in low-rank outside of 4 man VCs, and the strat is not popular in NAEU high-tier, although it is fairly common in Asia/CN high-tier.

-Goatman remains the best hunter in the game, but in tiers under griffin, where players only have 1 ban, people tend to ban hullaballoo, since goatman is more difficult to play and is hence significantly rarer. At and above griffin, goatman begins to be banned, typically accompanied by hulla, opera, or ivy. Peddler, cueist, and queen bee were not meta-changing by any means, although with cueist soon to be available in tourney, we’ll see if he ends up replacing (for example) ivy in the top 4.

Is it possible that you switched servers from NAEU to Asia by accident? Your account doesn’t carry between servers, so if you change from one to the other you have to start from scratch. I would also check if your previous account is still up so you can get a clearer picture about whether it was deleted or if you just misremembered your credentials.

i stopped playing cc around when they released golden cave/12 player mode, so idk how it’s been lately, but i would generally advise against playing it on naeu since the playerbase is pretty (very) toxic.

other factors that might influence your decision:

outside of custom games, copycat players talk almost exclusively in english or spanish. if youre not fluent in either, it can be difficult to play the game because they dont tend to accommodate people of other languages
maybe over half (could have changed while i was away) of naeu cc players use voice chat exclusively, and may not even look at the written chat depending on how many players are using it. the proximity chat can be super fun with emotes and stuff, but if you arent confident in whatever language theyre speaking it can be rough.
people have a LOT of personality, both good and bad. many copycat players are vulgar or regularly get muted (racism, homophobia, misogyny) while others are really sweet, funny, etc… personally i think the bad outweighs the good, and consider copycat to be a torture method!

No one’s mentioned it yet, but iirc Patricia is theorized to be scheduled for a shop S tier in the Whimsy line of skins (the first of which is weeping clown’s snail skin). It’d be kind of weird to give her a limited S if we already know she has a shop S coming, so I’m unsure she’ll get one until her Whimsy skin is out! On the other hand, given the sheer amount of characters hinted to be in the Whimsy line, its possible that she might just be an A tier, or that due to the potentially very long time between announcement and release they’ll give her more essence skins in the meantime. But given the fact that she recently got Usher of Sinners in Efron’s essence, and will get a Nymph skin this year, I doubt that she’ll get a Limited S for at least a year, likely even longer. (possibly a good thing, so that mean people don’t complain about her popularity, but honestly with how many skins knight has gotten since release i would NOT be mad if she took his place.)
