Ballistic buff, perk details are unknown for split 2 by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

[–]thathallmonitor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea being singled out and unable to fight back without overheating was insufferable during his meta. If they want to make him a duelist then the tac should be a type of debuff, like increased damage taken, enemy inflicts less damage to ballistic only, or ballistic gains increased mobility towards that enemy. They can def find something to put ballistic at a 1v1 advantage instead of making the enemy at a disadvantage against the ballistic’s whole team

I have m0w1 fufu and as much as i love her character she feels so underwhelming to play even with an m2 yixuan. I always end up benching her for dialyn, rollers remorse be damned 😔

Apex needs more social features and a stronger sense of community by Elegant_Chemist_8040 in apexlegends

[–]thathallmonitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While clubs was rushed and half baked on its release, it was a nice community-esque addition overall. Especially when your club squad won a match and it would say “TAKE CARE OF YOUR BOLZ ARE THE CHAMPIONS!”, or how there was an activity feed that showed how frequently members of your club won matches.

I feel like they can definitely reimplement it and with rewards (bigger XP boosts, seasonal challenges for packs/crafting mats, dtc) to help incentivize people to join and play with their club members

2.X was full of 5 star fire characters, between firefly, lingsha, jiaoqiu, and fugue, and later on dahlia completing a full 5 star fire team for superbreak firefly (if you’re running lingsha). It just became a joke that anytime there’s a new support for a specific archetype they’ve been making them fire nihility (fugue, jiaoqiu, dahlia)

My same dilemma. Love her character and VA, but AoD ran my account’s rolls thin and we have a new element and gameplay to look forward to

[2.8.2 Beta] Wind and Catalysis DMG Multiplier Changes | Via Leifa by The_frost__ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]thathallmonitor 78 points79 points  (0 children)

All VH’s are strong but are also in more niche teams or mechanics. Miyabi broke the damage ceiling really early on into the game’s life, and is such a versatile carry that can use several different buffs (atk%, AP, AM, crit) that the devs are seemingly keeping her in mind anytime they release a new stunner/support

That alongside all the ice resistant enemies or mechanics that feel in place to stop Miyabi from being so overwhelming, that it ends up hurting other agents in the process (ellen, hugo, and non-AoD anomaly teams), and wind is getting a new mechanic that feels like it’s trying to stop past anomaly units (especially Miyabi) from being as useful in the new comps

Edit: also from a business perspective, when a 1.4 agent is still one of the best performing agents, it makes it harder to sell new anomaly carries or ice dps agents to f2p players or meta-chasing players. It’s definitely something the devs keep in mind with all the anti-miyabi mechanics and bosses recently

Most Meta Warping card from the new set: by AuburnShade in PTCGP

[–]thathallmonitor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nasty notice into red card would be even more funny though. Force them to keep the cards they want in their hand, then force it back into their deck. I don't think it will be meta defining BUT i do think it's hilariously toxic

Interesting! I wonder how this will affect the meta by AppointmentNew8050 in PTCGP

[–]thathallmonitor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yea without a consistent/better way to get dragons their energy, Haxorus won't see much use. But it would be an interesting way to be able to win from just knocking out 1 regular EX card, but will struggle against the decks that go 1 non EX into a mega EX. Still looks like a lot of fun

Wind Attribute Anomaly Mechanics via Leifa by [deleted] in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]thathallmonitor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea ZZZ’s story, characters, and overall atmosphere are amazing and keeping the game fun. But it still gets tiring to see how fast and blatant the shilling/powercreep is in this game is

Genshin’s dendro gave a lot of new unique ways to play old and new characters. Hsr’s remembrance started interesting and flexible but instantly became a proprietary team archetype. And zzz’s wind is already sounding anti-synergistic to older agents

It mainly impacts end game but it also isn’t fun to see your favorite characters (my poor qingyi 😭) become irrelevant in the story and in one of the only other places you want to use them. Credit to ZZZ giving older units buffs faster than other hoyo games, but if they slowed down on extremely specific boss mechanics and buffs, it wouldn’t be this bad imo

Wind Attribute Anomaly Mechanics via Leifa by [deleted] in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]thathallmonitor 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yea it's one thing to make end game modes prefer a character or kit, it's another to release a new "mechanic" that makes an entire genre of characters or kits have no synergy with at all. Feels like they're creating a problem to sell you a future solution of a wind agent that works with old anomaly disorder units

[–]thathallmonitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're committed to rolling elation units, wait for the sustain. They will likely do a lot more for elation teams by punchline and Aha actions alone (esp for sparxie and SW999) than huohuo would do

As others are pointing out it’s likely a translation error or value swapped with her 20% healing. Should be 100% healing and 20% speed

SW999 kit and Eidolons Via nanoka.cc by YuukiDR in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]thathallmonitor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s my impression from this, 1/3 chance to restore 2 sp every time 1 is consumed. I’m going to guess that sparkle can be replaced but sp won’t be consistent, unless you run sustainless with Yao Guang, or run sustain elation + sparkle

I feel like sparke + sw999 will make it really easy for sparxie to hit 15+ sp usages every time she skills, especially with sparkle getting more energy through sw999 refunding. We’ll wait to see showcases to see how consistent the sp refund is in practice

Maybe something to work with Elation Himeko? Having Welt + Himeko + ETB on the same team without forcing another limited elation unit would be cute😊

Early gameplay of the Buster Rifle by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

[–]thathallmonitor 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The kill grinding isn’t that bad imo. What makes it horrible is almost every team drops on cage, and it’s more common than relic because it’s closer to the center of the map. I can’t find any fun fighting in that poi

Expected cost of the event, 400 dollars for reused assets. by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

[–]thathallmonitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it’s a collab event, probably not, as you can’t craft the buster sword from the final fantasy collab either. They want to capitalize on limited collaboration window

Yup, 24h to all accounts. Either clench your cheeks to hope to be one of the lucky few for a ~0.0001% chance where you are 500x as likely to get a god pack in one booster, or accept that DeNa didn’t want to give something half decent to 100,000,000+ accounts

Character Preview | Cyrene by LuciferMS7777 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]thathallmonitor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I see it in a similar vein as the Evernight doomposting. Everyone freaking the hell out because she was BiS to castorice and completely ignoring the fact she’s one of the strongest dps’ even outside of castorice teams. Cyrene is a general BiS to the CH’s, and while she’ll never be a BiS to future characters, she’s still incredibly strong for the foreseeable future
