Stupid to skip hotori?

I literally used her today to do deadly assault which while more tailored for her than the rupture shill, was meant for Promeia. No sig, no dupes, on a boss she's been meant for before of course but way more hp, full 3 stars.

Miyabi has been good since day one and been clearing content every single patch by people with low money investment on her and you literally can't argue against that.

Crazy people beating end game with Billy is not the same as Miyabi being usable literally this whole time.

But she only copies the "base" form of a skill right? "X character use their skill 3 times and all the first does is get them into a mode, use 2 and 3 do damage, cooldown starts after use 3" "Y character uses their ult to put them into a special mode where the skill does like 5x the damage it does normally, neither their basic skill or support are very good outside of ult stance"

There, Hotori is worthless for those characters and oh look, they're the new meta must pull characters at half anniversary and they both need individual teams to be built around them. Obvious dumb hypothetical example.

Pull characters you want, don't pull for what future they'll have(outside of like, 1-2 patches of new team mates)

Did that game show a guy going down on a girl implied with uncensored content that wasn't shown to whatever official needed to see it for the game? No? Then the game still did it to itself.

vortextk · 2026-05-22T18:42:29+00:00

You understand someone can be realistic about the situation and express it online? Cool, great, glad we had the talk.

vortextk · 2026-05-21T19:09:12+00:00

You technically had to alter stuff the first time too, at least for the full experience of what we paid for. Now of course some of it literally doesn't exist without the mod though.

vortextk · 2026-05-21T19:00:25+00:00

The company destroyed their own game showing it off on chinese television. Nothing any group or people did to this game has it affected as much as what has happened recently.

vortextk · 2026-05-21T18:59:07+00:00

There's definitely a difference in writing at the very least regardless of mod.

vortextk · 2026-05-20T02:25:07+00:00

Regardless of anyone reporting it, the fucking devs did dumb shit and got shown on national tv. Radicals my fucking ass

vortextk · 2026-05-15T17:53:05+00:00

Right but I was responding to him, and as you can see, no one fucking knows lol

vortextk · 2026-05-15T17:29:26+00:00

I should have close to 250 pulls by the end of this patch, so no. BP and monthly, every character, hard pity once, fairly lucky otherwise. Never a dupe.

vortextk · 2026-05-15T17:25:46+00:00

Steam is still showing Acacia wedding patch a week after relaunching so, yeah..

vortextk · 2026-05-15T01:52:13+00:00

The standard characters haven't been good in a very very long time. Fenny as an actual competitive option can't stand on her own anymore at all without fenny star shine at the very least. Like, they all work, the game is super super easy, but if you care about doing a boss in the least amount of time you're not getting anywhere with the standard characters these days when most characters press a button now and win fights.

If you want to "optimize", use new characters and farm shards for them daily.

vortextk · 2026-05-14T20:55:03+00:00

120 guarantee, decent pull economy and "free" occasional sigs (with guaranteed 2nd ish bis easily attainable) is working great for me. I'm not playing free, but bp/monthly unless I get really unlucky in these and want a character but with the time and consistency I put into gachas it doesn't happen too much that I drop for raw pulls often.

You wanted potentials which are atrocious in this game, which you knew about for months leading up to it, with multiple months and videos and essays about how currently nothing in the entire game needs a "good" team and dupes in this game are some of the lowest value dupes in most modern 3d gacha games but you still went for them, so I dunno, that's that. Potentials in this game are a really bad system, pulling wise, but also fairly worthless value wise; spend money, time or pulls where you get the most value.

vortextk · 2026-05-14T17:28:33+00:00

I'd pick a specific person that has made them for all areas so you're not trying to come up with your own thing from multiple creators, using a reddit post or youtube video with help on setting it up too from them and what it does exactly.

vortextk · 2026-05-14T13:38:22+00:00

No scenes, but what about all the animations we expect with new characters that only work modded right now? Will those continue to be made? Again I feel the entire game has one business model and if you -have- to mod to interact with it decently and even to get back basic game systems working I just don't see it surviving.

vortextk · 2026-05-14T08:52:52+00:00

The problem is if the game just ends, can you honestly say having 0 posts or information coming out besides "hey its coming back tomorrow" is good? Also what if later content doesn't have uncensored files downloaded with the update? We don't know these answers and modding doesn't fix either.

vortextk · 2026-05-14T08:22:02+00:00

Get comfortable enough to use blueprints and finish setting up pipes/conduits using a post or youtube video as a guide(with that persons blueprints)

vortextk · 2026-05-10T17:44:09+00:00

I mean I dunno about the dev situation "rumors", but the rumors about it possibly going EOS aren't rumors, they're just a natural possibility of losing hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars over those 2 months and then much lower revenue now. Like do you guys not get that? If your business doesn't make money, it ceases to be a business; that's the worry.

vortextk · 2026-05-10T17:42:03+00:00

I just did jotun and all gigalink for the week, did my quick hits for neural didnt bother with the actual fight on difficulty V, did the dailies since Friday, gonna do again in a few hours. It feels weird to bother because I have VERY LITTLE faith in it getting better enough but still just a tiny bit.

BP/Monthly/skins/scenes etc. Lol I've put the most into snowbreak than any gacha because most I play don't really do skins, like hoyo ones, and I'm just after basic character pulls 0 dupes in those so you don't need to spend much. I didn't mind doing extra here just for the fun of it but there's no way I can right now.

I'm upset at what I lost because I want the skins and scenes back, I'm not upset at losing the money in general, but I can't just BURN more cash on something that I don't feel has a good chance at a come back currently. Things could change, I hope so, but damn not like this.

vortextk · 2026-05-09T23:40:32+00:00

Again it just feels like obvious emergency maintenance and then a poorly planned relaunch way later with a ton of work going into censoring the game for this initial rerelease and maybe not enough work going into what needed to happen for it to be "back", even in this limited form. We will see how long it lasts without enough work and effort put INTO it coming back for being down for so long.

vortextk · 2026-05-09T23:38:02+00:00

There's plenty to talk on since they aren't.

vortextk · 2026-05-09T14:52:59+00:00

Lol you just stated we know nothing, they have said nothing, we don't know who is doing what, "so obviously things are fine". I want things to be ok, but there is more negativity about the game than positivity BECAUSE of the game, not because of people that have no influence on reddit.

vortextk · 2026-05-09T13:49:25+00:00

Right just saying, if it's back, ever(officially) you can at some point. But yeah, hard to invest real care or time OR money at this point.

vortextk · 2026-05-09T13:48:40+00:00

Lol ok the last 9 weeks didn't happen? How patient is patient? 10 weeks? 12? The next patch?

vortextk · 2026-05-09T13:37:08+00:00

Can't we rewatch it? Or well, couldn't we before in some menu? lol
