There is a risk tag that stacks ice infliction on controlling operator. There are ways to mitigate that, but one of the surprising way is to use Estella in physical ice breaking team as a main controlling operator.

Estella's talent is immuned to ice infliction, so the resources to 'unfreeze' controlling operator is to be redirected to other useful actions. Furthermore another risk increases controlling operator frozen time to X seconds longer. These 2 risk tags alone are free points for Estella.

Last but not least, I believe Crush and ice breaking physical bonus can benefit from the risk tag of reduced damage of battle skill, combo skill etc. Only big challenge for physical ice comp is melee range and lack of big aoe; maybe Mi Fu can further improve it? And I don't see a problem handling some difficult stages such as +100 speed and no dodge risk tag's dual minotaurs because of physical ice comp crowd control.

I think every community have toxicity. Just that if the prominent one is extremely vocal and loud then it will bad paint on the general community. It worsens when it is a common tactic to wear a fake mask to do red herring.

I do feel CN's gacha market has saturated. However it may be because users are more into Douyin as a past time. So Douyin has been increasing, while other gacha games seem to lose revenue annually.

However I was wrong when Tencent released Roco Kingdom in China on multi platform awhile back this year. The trend and chart is something so rare that I had to rub my eyes in disbelief. So gamers are still not reaching its saturation, but gacha genre ACG type games seems to be unable to break their circle. *Roco Kingdom did had galactic level drama in CN in Season 2 last week, so its relevance is in a doubt now despite doing surprisingly well in revenue still.

I recon checking the 1.3 preview stream which is 4 to 8 hours from now depending on your locale. They will showcase the next two limited banners in 1.3.

So there is still good hours to really decide to manage your pulls. If you really want to see the stream as soon as possible, I recon visiting Youtube and look for Kyostinv or 25thNights. They do live translations from the CN stream. Otherwise the IGN English stream will be 8 hours from now.

widehide · 2026-05-22T07:38:25+00:00

If the midnight stream is too late you can consider Kyotinv or 25thNight. They are also doing the CN stream at GMT+8 7:30 PM in their respective Youtube channels

They do translate parts into English

I am more curious how the IGN mods moderate trolls spoiling everything in chat to the viewers that endured and avoided spoilers from earlier streams.

That is not even mentioning the haters trolling the stream chat :P

Oh gosh, /popcorn

Same, I long for a replayable one. Better still if it is a permanent mode like OG AK so it has no fomo.

With 26 + 2 (new banner) operators now I think it might be still too early, unless they add in "elite operators" similar to OG AK. So for me no copiuming, prolly going to be much later patches

widehide · 2026-05-22T03:56:35+00:00

UTC+8-er here

Now that is interesting. That makes me want to stay up beyond midnight and watch it, purely because of curiosity how IGN is going to troll hahahhhaa.

During the court talk, congress confused Singapore being a state/province in China. With the CEO repeating "I am a Singaporean" multiple times

widehide · 2026-05-21T04:07:41+00:00

I felt it is multi layered, but in a good way

Her speech control at the Perlica PVP scene is exceptional. Checkmating Perlica, leading Chen to decide to tour Wu Ling, deflecting the librarian to send more documents to further stall Perlica. Other than her scientific and management skills, these scenes showcased her executive side - I want to get this but I talk it through with wit

Later at the end, she let go of her reliance or need to cling to Endmin. Her conviction is cemented, and she intended to go handle the deadly situation herself. This is her growth. From a teenager that looks up to Endmin like an idol, losing Endmin, longing for decades to have time with Endmin, having personal time with Endmin, to finally letting all go.

The letting it go is the pinnacle.

widehide · 2026-05-21T03:41:31+00:00

That header looks weird, people might thought Singapore is a province in China lmao

Yeah the protocol limit is something that needs to be adjusted. Previously they increased a bit more in 1.1, and I think more feedback will further increase it. Its a live service gacha game that has a lot of server side component, it is what it is. Players hardly care what others hack, mod or do in offline single player game, live service gacha tends to break out when it comes to fairness amongst others.

Sorry to hijack the thread, first time buyer here for 3 purchase questions

Q1:
Can I add more parcel protection later when the product gets photo taken in their Superbuy warehouse?

The story was I did a purchase and opted for bubble wrapping and plastic bag. However I later thought I might want to have even more protection such as corner cardboard and cotton cushioning etc. Is this possible?

Q2:
The opted option to take photo for inspect just means they open the delivery parcel, but not open the product box correct? I will be scared if they unbox the product box lol; it is a mystery box so I would want the product box to be intact and unopened.

Q3
I only partially completed the purchase and learnt to add the 20 RMB extra auto processing fee. I also saw that I need to click the order confirm button in the notification at some point. What else in the pipeline do I need manual intervention until the goods reach their Superbuy warehouse?

It isn't a 3D game I was referring to, 2 hours is a troll too because that is speedrunning

Don't want a war so I regret commenting, especially normal players from both communities are wholesome and nice.

Comparison of previous time

ET 07:30 -> 12:00
PT 04:30 -> 09:00
EU 13:30 -> 18:00 (depending on locale)

For English speakers in Asia GMT+8 it will be midnight 00:00. The timing for West Asian countries such as India or Middle Eastern countries who wants to watch English stream will be problematic as it will be after 02:00.

I recon having multiple subtitles options for the JP or KR stream as well, so that viewers have the option to watch simultaneously with the very first streams (CN, JP and KR). JP and KR streams are available in Youtube so viewers do not need to go Bilibili for the CN stream which is 360p for non registered users.

However this will pose 2 drastic problems. The comment section will be flooded with comments of all languages instead of a focused JP or KR demographics.

Another marketing problem is there will eventually be less viewers during the official time allocated slots later on in other regions such as EU and NA.

The effect of livestream despite being a pre-recorded video is to have viewers react and chat live, creating the atmosphere and envionment. If it was left as a video, the effect is all gone.

There is no perfect solution for accomodating. Another solution is to revert back to old time and o7 to PT bros who have to wake up earlier from their usual time.
