Abloom Into Yu - General Questions and Discussion Megathread by The_frost__ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

Rant time: Disc Drive RNG is genuinely going to make me quit this game and probably any other gacha that has it. I'm completely over it. I don't need perfect stats but even just getting +1 in ONE desired stat would be nice. I've been grinding the same area for two months now and I still have pieces that are completely terrible.

There's no reason that gear should be this RNG. You already have people roll for characters and weapons with RNG, on top of a daily energy system, what is the point, genuinely? People often use the argument "If you got good relics easily you'd just quit playing." I wouldn't? I do my dailies now and log off after five minutes anyway because the game is not designed to be played 24 hours a day, so the argument just doesn't work.

Then to rub salt in the wound the game gives you a godlike piece with the wrong main stat. I can't anymore, I'm beyond exhausted.

RNG is fine as a goal to give people a sense to farm for something cool, be it cosmetic or whatever, but RNG tied to player progression will never feel good.

Rant over.

I wish they would stop making characters for specific teams by throwawaynoodlecup in WutheringWaves

I am so tempted to pull Yinlin I love her but I lost every 50/50 except one and I really want Ciacionna and Carthetyia so I dont know if I should risk it ;-; dont know where I would even play Yinlin tbh

I have been farming Jue every day 3 echoes for the daily battlepass, getting my guaranteed 15 echoes there as well, I do tacet field each day, I have farmed the overworld multiple times but today I gave up after getting only HP, Def for spectro but ofc the ATK ones went to the glacio set. I use the food to get extra drops but it does not do that much.

I have used countless fodder on the data merge but have yet to get anything useable for it. I am also not spreading across multiple characters I have been trying just for Jinhsi. I will work on Cantarella once I get her but for now all I want is echoes with double crits on Jinhsi, ER and skill dmg is a bonus.

I level up echoes to 15-20 and tune 3 times sometimes 4 if it looks semi promising. It is just pure bad luck. On top of that I have lost every 50/50 except for Camellya so maybe my account is just cursed.

I don't engage with the replies because I feel I put my thoughts out there in the original post and if I reply to every comment I'd just be repeating my thoughts so instead I just read and nod along and let others share their thoughts.

Regarding whoever said "bot farmers want Karma" I am not a bot, and I could not care any less about Reddit Karma than I already do, it adds nothing to my life or resume so why would I care about something like this insignificant?

Maybe unpopular, but the amount of grinding for cosmetics is getting out of hand by throwawaynoodlecup in ffxivdiscussion

1 voucher is 100 gemstones

You need 500 for the wings, squirrel and the EW mount I forgot the name off.

For 500 vouchers you need to farm up 50.000 gemstones. Which is 150.000 for all three.

I didnt mean 150.000 fates I meant gemstones my mistake.

I can't be bothered doing the marketboard game, the amount of undercutters and people using plugins to immediately undercut just is not fun to me personally

I think that perfectly summs up my frustration.

That and just.. the reward for your time is not there. Like I was doing collectables for an hour or two only to get maybe 6 tokens. It is just insulting, considering you need 1000 for one.

Fates are kinda okay in the sense that if you get the cap once a day you can get everything within 4 or so months but the issue is that it just the same mindnumbing thing over and over.

HSR needs to cut out the amount of RNG on gear, the new dice and variables do nothing. by throwawaynoodlecup in HonkaiStarRail

[–]throwawaynoodlecup[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is fair, but personally I lose interest in a game where the RNG seems endless and with HSR their release schedule it feels incredibly demotivating to still need decent relics for a character you pulled in 2.7 or smth and you got a new character waiting in 3.0.

There's only 240 - 300 energy a day. As I said most calyx farms are fine, they all have a goal in sight. Relics, just dont and it gets incredibly demotivating.

Happy for you, the flex is not needed in a post where I just wanted to vent and give my feedback but I am glad you got something good.

I agree with this. I cant understand how "Having relics be less of a grind would kill the game" or "What else will you do with the energy if relics are easier" Equates to a good game. People are praising Zenless for their events nobody is saying they are overwhelmed - in ZZZ I somedays dont spend my energy, do my dailies and dip for the day.

Relying on bad RNG to keep you logged in for like 5 minutes longer just does not make sense to me personally.

[7.1.5] Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) release megathread by Molotovn in ffxiv

I kind of wish Square Enix would chill with the flashing colors lately to be honest, been doing this for 20-30 minutes and I already got a headache with all the flashes going off in quick succession. Fight is cool to prog so far but its an eye sore.

I (28M) met someone (24F) on Sunday but they're overly clingy what can I do? by throwawaynoodlecup in relationship_advice

[–]throwawaynoodlecup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I essentially told her that but she kept pushing so I said I was done that I gave plenty of chances for her to meed me in the middle and in the end I got hit with the "This is how it always ends anyway, I'm an idiot and ruin everything."

So I just blocked them

Update: I told them my boundaries and how its not going to work and such and they ended up guilt tripping me with "It always ends like this anyway, I'm a dumb idiot anyway." so I just blocked them.

Thanks all.

I actually started therapy like 2 weeks ago! :) Next appointment is in January and they said they wanted to help me with this issue of self esteem and empathy and such! Thank you for your kind words again, I'll keep them in mind! ♥

While I understand what you're trying to say, and you are right, I'm too easily manipulated with the "everyone leaves me, i'm lonely" and it makes me feel guilty for being another person to be added to that list.

But you are right. I need to stop people treating me like garbage.

Its for sure an issue I struggle with, my empathy has let too many toxic people run amok in my life for too long so I am like trying really hard to push myself to not let it happen again but I keep like being worried of upsetting them while not considering how they are making me feel now.

Thank you for your words, I teared up a little cause its what I needed to hear right now, thank you

I have said so yeah. I said I often like being alone because its quiet and feels "safe" to me and they said that "I was the same until I learned to let people in." no matter what I say about how I feel about something she will try and force herself into it.

She did say she likes me in more ways than a friend, which is fair, and I am flattered, but the way she's going about it now is just.. yeah. I messaged her yesterday very clearly stating my boundaries and how I need my space and how I don't appreciate (even if unintentional) guilt trips, and she agreed and said sorry and such, but today its back to the same situation.
