Is it just me or is the final labyrinth difficulty really cranked up? I went from never giving the defensive buffs a second thought to worrying Kokomi could actually die. In any case, pretty fun event. I hope we see more of Xinyan and Flat Samley in the future.

I'm pretty sure the last labyrinth has abyss 12 scaling and some encounters are more deadlier than what we usually see in the abyss.

Abyss isn't dangerous power-wise, most of the difficulty is because of the timer and inflated HP pool.

Sometimes it is, like the old 12-2-2 mimic hell and anytime the put hydro aura on something not trivial tbh. Double geovishaps with abyss scaling was reallty rough back then if you had no strong shielder. Right now the only challenge in the current one is having to engage with maguu kenki mechanics.

I remember way back when there was an electro and 2 cryo cicin mages, and I would emerge from that floor mostly dead because the only pyro character I had were a level 70 XL built as a spear carry and a level 40 amber.

I was trying to get a C1 Thoma, but I popped an early Hu Tao, without particularly being interested in getting her. I know she's strong, but shes my third 5-star pyro DPS (Klee and Yoimiya) but I guess she's better, so Ill invest in her. Now I'm getting close to my next pity (and still no C1 Thoma  ) Is C1 that important on her? If C1 is that great on her, I dont mind dropping another 20 primos to try for it.

I have a bad feeling the Always Cryo abyss cycle is coming back. How do you use the geo MC to make shields? If I auto-target it misses more often than not with smaller enemies. Manually targeting is slower but even when it hits it doesn't always generate a shard (or generates it on the opposite side and I'm not dashing around to look.) They are just so unreliable at shielding that I give up using them. I have a c4 Thoma I could work on but I am not leveling another pyro character right now. I can't keep converting all my ascension materials to agate chunks.  Kale posted:I wasn't entirely prepared for the Genshin Impact on PC experience. I always knew the game wasn't particularly optimized for PS4, but I have first hand experience for just how big the difference is now. Better visuals, better frame rate, better performance, better loads times. Something about the games assets are clearly scaled down for the PS4, though I can't quite put my finger on it exactly. I don't think I can run this game from PS4 anymore once I get my DS4 profile setup with the new machine now that I've seen the sheer difference first hand.

geo mc isnt really a character you use for shielding. they're a geo dps.

Does the game ever acknowledge if you play as certain characters? I'm kinda disappointed this comission where the guy keeps going on about Barbara didn't change even a line while playing as her, or that being Raiden when Raiden declares you an outlaw doesn't change anything. Even a one off joke would be good.

You have to trigger a crystallize reaction and pickup the elemental shard to get a shield with Geo MC. To trigger crystallize you need to either apply geo to a target that has another element applied already or apply another element to a target that has geo already applied. The elemental shard shields are fairly small. https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Crystallize

Azhdaha having a different intro voiceline for Zhongli being present makes me think they just want to have a good enough reason to do context-sensitive stuff like that. for jokes i can understand it being a low priority, especially since the game already pokes fun at itself in various ways with asides and the set dialogue options.

Had a good weekend with Genshin. Realized the power of the tazer comp with a built-up Sucrose and Beidou bringing in a 9 star clear on Abyss 12. Made some pulls on the banner and got spooked by Qiqi, which is exactly what I wanted to happen. Had some fun with the new event. They should run events like this as alternatives for domains. Instead of the same battle that's always been in there, have this cool alternative challenge based on the new activity. Different fight but you get the same reward.

It was real annoying when my supports were underleveled and abyss stuff would sometimes just randomly instagib them and force me to restart.

Seconding Ayaka/Kazuha/hydro/cryo , which was a lovely team that took me through all of Inazuma, but now that the first two have maxed out friendship I'll probably rebuild something around Hu Tao and/or Raiden, plus a bunch of benchwarmers as supports, in order to keep things fresh.

Chernobyl Peace Prize posted:Up until last week I was running Ayaka/XQ/Kaz/Diona (and I'd recommend it if you have access to Ayaka and Kazuha because of how incredible water-running and a double-jump are), but now I'm enjoying Hu Tao/XQ/Kaz/Thoma for "oh oops the enemies are just...dead now I guess?" surprises. I don't like that kind of surprise, they always make me wonder just how much more damage I could've done before my bursts ran out.

Nyoro posted:What team do you guys use when running around the world and killin poo poo / getting chests? Zhongli/Albedo, the other two slots vary a lot. Kazuha and Xingqiu are probably the most frequent thirds, with Raiden, Chongyun, Bennett, Fischl and Hu Tao competing for fourth.

Nyoro posted:What team do you guys use when running around the world and killin poo poo / getting chests? Physical teams are my world exploration jam. Midgame before i got the goods I ran crescent pike xiangling, qiqi, fischl, and a flex slot (claymore) Now my braindead team when I dont want to think is Eula, Diona, Raiden + Flex (which is often kazuha. He just groups everything nicely for the blender and if he doesn't kill with sac sword spam. Plus his skill is great for gliding). Alternatively, my "gently caress around suboptimal but fun" team has been childe, raiden, noelle and ningguang. Just fun to use; usually taken for mining trips. Each of the characters gets a time to shine and synergizes in some way with another. Mining and bow are always useful on overworld, so it puts an interesting constraint on team comps.

It was probably like a hundred+ pages ago when someone else observed this but a really fun use for Kazuha in the overworld is using his skill in the middle of an enemy camp and watching as the swirl from their campfire incinerates every enemy there. Large EM required.

They haven't done multiplayer focused events in a while it seems. Last one that stands out was hide and seek. I miss the horde mode: "Heres a bunch of poo poo or a boss. Kill it" multiplayer events that seemed more frequent around launch. Stuff like the alchemy, falling star, and dragon spine events. Chaos is fun Colorspray fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Nov 8, 2021 |

It also had very difficult fights with rewards that scaled to world level, and rewards that required resin to collect. I guess a lot of people bounced off that event, because the survey afterwards was like, "Tell us how much you hate event rewards that scale with world level and require resin to collect".

Large EM required. Give him a sacrificial sword and watch him pretty much take out the entire camp in two swirls, and then have his ult fully charged. No idea how brokenly op that'd be with his C1, where you could then jumps swirl AGAIN after firing his ult. That C1 looks absolutely sick. super sweet best pal posted:I wish there was some real group content for this game. Something more than just grouping up to fight the regular bosses.

I wish there was another way to arrange parties other than knowing the other person's UID or just getting a random match up. Your friends list also needs to be about 15x larger and have the ability to sort friends. I feel like the reason it's so small is that it has an "online" tracking element to it.

My problem with group content is that you can't bring your whole team. Just doesn't feel great to only have one or two skills and bursts.

Combat in this game in general kind of sucks because like 80% of their user base plays on mobile. It sucks a lot more when you're locked to 1 to 2 characters.

zero interest in co-op and it feels like the fact that it exists even detracts from the singleplayer as well, since we get events that use the stupid co-op mode and add load times to everything. also can't say i understand what benefit it brings to the combat when reactions become more difficult to coordinate and enemies just get ballooned stats on top of it.
