Some people just have money and like things. These games are largely for those types of people. If spending their money on Baal will genuinely make people happier, let them.

Kale posted:The whole like rabid celebration of capitalism and the idea that people want to fling themselves and their money at this character as some sort of badge of honor is just super weird and unnatural to me though as it is with how some people seem to behave around any gacha game in general any time there's a popular banner imminent. Like the literal goal to me is to ideally have to spend the least amount of in game resources possible and preferably no real life currency ever, not just like this weird celebration of potentially giving a lot of money to some company potentially in exchange for a character. A lot of those replies just can't not be bots. In the same way that gacha is probably a fair amount of people's first introduction to gambling, it might also be their first introduction to financial domination, aka "findomming." I personally find it to be one of the most unappealing and absurd fetishes out there, but I grew up Very Without Money so its entire basis is kind of anathema to how my brain is wired. But it seems to be a pretty popular one, and it keeps dommes paid, so it has its place in the psychosexual landscape. Kinda hosed up when it's being done by a massively wealthy corporation, tho SlimGoodbody fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Aug 19, 2021 |

when i was in a honkai guild that had a lot of whales, they were all just fellow california computer touchers that could drop 1k a week without really caring about it. being single and loving anime really does wonders for the amount of money you're willing to throw away on stupid poo poo.

Guessing you mean me gandlethorpe posted:I may have too much practice farming Emblem artifacts Nothing really special about my artifacts other than that they're good. Kazuha's fully decked out in EM Viridescent. I recently switched XQ to Blizzard Strayer because things are frozen so often and Chong/Kazuha combo enables him to take advantage of multiple element buffs. Chong just has a solid Glad's set. And Diona's got Noblesse. The 4*s are all C6, which are all very impactful in my team as well. They're not even fully maxed. All A5 and only Chong's claymore is 90. Part of me wants to max them just to see how powerful I should be, but I kinda like wearing the ankle weights.

Yeah after Stage 5 of it and getting all the primo gems and having all the giant ruin graders just walk past all my towers with their massive HP tank despite my best attempts to upgrade and place them optimally I think I'm just gonna do one more stage of this and that's plenty of Theater Mechanicus as it's just way too time consuming. The wave 4 and 5's are just so deflating having to wait and see everything just kind of fall apart but knowing you'll still make it and just have to wait longer now. I don't man they just gave some of the enemies way too much HP and I really wish I could just build more towers cause it just never seems to be enough for them most of the time no matter how much I try to stack the upgrades.

Btw, neat trick for Kazuha freeze team users (even the inferior kind that can't achieve perma Rain Sword uptime) Hold E applies a strong Anemo that can potentially swirl Cryo and Hydro simultaneously on a frozen target, buffing both. The same goes for the first hit of his burst. https://i.imgur.com/phfGu7F.mp4 Timing does seem to matter, but I don't think order does (i.e. whether Cryo or Hydro was applied last) or their gauge strength. You might only swirl one if it's been too long since applying the other. Of course, when you can apply both constantly because your Kazuha applies his own Cryo and is always followed by Rain Swords it's not a huge concern https://i.imgur.com/OpXfI8x.mp4 I love that I'm still finding new depth to Kazuha that gives me more decisions to make in combat. Literally every part of his kit is important.

I find the wave 4 and 5 enemies relatively easy with hydro+cryo into a pyro killzone for the melt reactions. Occasionally I have to do overload killzones instead because of Geo or because the upgrade bans are brutal that round.

gandlethorpe posted:https://i.imgur.com/OpXfI8x.mp4 When do you use press skill vs tap skill? How frequently are you normal attacking with Kaz when XQ's burst is running? I did Kaz+XQ+XL+Benny in the last abyss and with Benny's low cooldowns and XL's pyronado it was really hard to tell how to best take advantage of the water sword procs. With Sac Sword you spend a whole lot of your time hitting your skill or watching your burst animation. I've been playing around with mona/ayaka/kaz/flex and I have a hard time applying hydro/cryo at all let alone reliably. I almost always use hold skill too except for right after a burst.

dogsicle posted:ignoring lost treasure, we have been truly blessed with the rerun events this patch You spelled Theater Mechanicus wrong. Lost Treasure was good, especially since they made the seelies guide you to the spots better. Araganzar posted:When do you use press skill vs tap skill? How frequently are you normal attacking with Kaz when XQ's burst is running? Generally, I've only been holding when I need a wider pull, but learning this double swirl trick I'll probably be using it more, especially as an opener. In the heat of battle, I usually just press to get a quick shatter off and refresh a buff. Going forward, I'll likely press if I don't feel like I need to get double buffs (i.e. if my burst is active and auto-refreshing one element, or the thing I'm fighting is about to die) I can't really tell you about rotations in a Pyro team since I don't play them. But the thing to know about XQ's swords is that they have a 1s internal cooldown, and they'll fire as long as you're in the middle of a normal attack animation (i.e. it can finish cooling down after you've started a swing and still fire). So I guess don't spend too much time chaining only Es and Qs without squeezing in normals. This goes for any character, but especially whoever hits hardest with normals. My Kazuha has the 3rd strongest normals on my team, so I try not to keep him out too much, but it's still important to hit for sword procs and positioning.

i don't really remember the first lost treasure but this one really just felt like annoying filler content, especially with how many spots you have to check for coins. it doesn't really iterate on the idea in a meaningful way except having those floor puzzles that throw into contrast how boring the rest of the event is. TM has its issues but they completely changed it up so we would have fresh experiences and that will certainly make for better versions in the future, on top of how it still feels good to suss out the quirks and get to breaking it over your knee multiple ways or getting into an arms race against courage sticks. i'm not fully into obeying the bans or doing solo element runs though, which might help avoid some of the boring paths this version can take.

New TM is underrated. they fixed the biggest problem, which is that the level 10 took like 30 minutes. even the longest one of these takes like 10 iirc. Also I think all the upgrades are fun and cool.

All the post-release events have felt like filler stuff, which is fine. Little dumb things that get me loot and add something to the commissions->artifacts->resin->quit rotation are welcome. I'd love more character/team-locked challenge events and absolutely zero more hypostasis-style events, but nothing has been bad so far. If they could fix up their grappling mechanic in 2.1 that'd be a great opportunity for fun stuff.

After trying TM a couple of times, I'll probably pass. Not to say it's *bad*, just was never fan of TD games in the first place. But I do like how they continue to do random minigames. Hopefully the fishing controls in 2.1 aren't too annoying.

gandlethorpe posted:Btw, neat trick for Kazuha freeze team users (even the inferior kind that can't achieve perma Rain Sword uptime) An enemy that is frozen can have 2 auras. "Frozen" counts as a cryo aura, but does not react with hydro (it will react with other elements, however, like a cryo aura). Therefore, after freezing a target, you can reapply Hydro, letting there be 2 elements on an enemy. Hold E applies 2 gauge anemo to enemies. You need to use a Swirl reaction with a stronger anemo gauge than the hydro gauge on a frozen enemy in order to swirl both the frozen (cryo) and hydro auras. Tap E is only 1 gauge, and therefore not strong enough. The only requirements are the enemy must be frozen, have hydro applied after being frozen, then hit with Kazuha's hold E or Q (Kazuha Slash also applies a 2 gauge anemo). Venti E and both of Jean's skills also apply 2 gauge anemo, though this will only really apply to VV, since neither offers any special buff from swirling. If you trigger the double swirl with Kazuha's Q, you should be infusing with Hydro, due to infuse priority. Also, I believe you mentioned that it was easier to clear the Emblem of Severed Fate domain, if you didn't let the Lawachurl shield up. Perhaps it is! https://i.imgur.com/g7kZWgt.mp4

Yeah, after further testing, it seems that Hydro does need to be applied to an already frozen target. I think XQ's orbiting swords were applying it the times I thought Cryo was on top. I'm having a tough time consistently double swirling with any other Hydro, because of course. I can sometimes do it with Mona if I'm quick enough with an attack and a dash. But why bother lol
