lol this event..

How do you even tag people? i just ran circles around a rebel without him being caught lol

somehow i have managed to find all 3 once, by clicking whatever when close.. how can you even see where they are? i just lucked out..

and playing as rebel, it's just climb high up, the hunter is probably gonna be out of stamina from running around, and can't climb.

6/10 event, okish

I mean, what's the point if you're not even getting wage slave employees sacked?

I dunno, I genuinely enjoy this event but Hunter is less fun to me. Finding a good hiding place and staying mobile is way more fun.

edit: it's also one of those things anyone can max out regardless of skill/power level so it gets a thumbs up from me.

I just thought the characters were color schemed off their element. If they went away from that being so dominant it would be cool, it's not like they need to be color coded for pvp or anything.

Many of them are, but not all; Beidou is red and is an Electro user.

Apparently you can lose as a rebel instantly by walking into the campfire in setup phase and burning yourself to death. Guess I should have paid more attention :v:. Was worth 50 coins though.

If it ain't fun, it should at least be something you can grind out, so that works. I'd still like to fight some stuff, though. No co-op, no wacky "fun" modifiers that invalidate my teams. Just normal rear end fights because those are super rare.

No, the only normal fight in the game is fighting one to three axe mitachurls. Everything else is a dumb gimmick, bad design, super unfair, literally not letting you play the game, etc.

I mean, the last event was pretty much gimmicky fights that invalidated a lot of teams. I think that's a fair criticism. It's ok to like that stuff but it's a bit frustrating for people who don't have a deep bench or are newer.

On that same token I understand why people might not like Hide and Seek as an event too. I like it but it's weird and different and I can succeed even if I don't have level 90 super Ganyu or whatever.

I don't think it is necessary to cater to everyone with every event. I think that would make every event rather bland and inoffensive.

Though, maybe that's what some people want and that's fine too.

As long as I get my crowns and gems.

All I could get of the last event was Diona and the crown (and a single talent book) because that's all I could get from score, plus I couldn't do the second domain at all. Multiplayer events are also iffy for me due to lag. I am super underleveled for my AR though (single 80 character at AR45) but it was still frustrating to hit a wall like that.

That's.. dumb. It's still too random and if it really is limited only to those sets, it's not enough. The answer to the whole artifact system is right in front of them but they're doing this poo poo instead?

Answer to what? Free to play are full clearing abyss and yet it's still an infinite resin sink, the system's behaving exactly as it's supposed to.

Height affecting character speed still applies, mind, so if you're playing Diluc/Childe/Zhongli/any other tall boy you will naturally be sprinting a bit faster. I was able to run circles around a chasing Diona hunter for a big chunk of a match at one point.

I've seen a lot of hunters playing Qiqi for some reason. Nice of them to make matches easy for me, I guess?

Maybe the rationale is that being shorter will help you hide behind things, but the disguise objects are pretty short anyway, so...

You also need to be careful not to walk over campfires because the hunter can see the damage numbers pop up (in setup phase, at least).

You don't think the artifact system is clunky at all? It doesn't need this, it needs better ways to level up artifacts instead of just dumping other artifacts into them and they could easily make that happen.

I don't think I like the event but I did win a round where Mona just chased me in circles around Dawn Winery the whole time and never caught my Zhongli. Ended up only catching one of the other rebels too.

That made me laugh for a good minute.

idk, i feel like as more sets come out with interesting effects or even just being obviously tailored to characters (or vice versa) it exacerbates the issue. because even pulling together 4pc is a hassle before you get to substat optimization, and having randomness throw a wall up at an early point like that is just demoralizing even if you can reasonably fall back on random good pieces or 2pc mixes.

giving the domains a drop rotation like material/talent ones might be enough to alleviate the issue?

Playing on PS4 after an update not too long ago and am wandering Teyvat as though it were a surreal post apocalyptic game because a poo poo ton of things didn't load in properly.

It's all very weird.

edit: In the Hide and Seek game, I'm a little confused about how to play as the Rebels. I understand the part where you disguise yourself and hide, but what else is there to that gameplay? Is it reasonably possible to escape for the Hunter if they see you? Not sure what strategy there is besides "find a good place to disguise yourself."

I got this very good Millelith Pyro goblet (three starting stats are CRIT%/CDMG%/HP%), but I'm not sure if it's worth using on Hu Tao. That set is obviously geared more towards a support Zhongli, but its stats are just so perfect for her.

Currently she has 4pc Witch's. I doubt +20% health would outweigh the 4pc benefit, though.
