I'm a dumb-dumb who's bad at timezones, how long is it until the estimated end of maintenance?

This is also I think the first patch I've played during, are they usually right or does it tend to drag?

Maintenance is scheduled to end in about 90 minutes but past experiences say that it could be up as soon as 30 minutes from the time I post this.

saw some poo poo about filler patch no content and i unno if thats a common sentiment but i still think that hangouts are the most hugely thing they add to the game. i havent even finished the first batch much less then dozen since. i dont even dislike them, i like them a bunch. they are just really strangely dense and hard to sit down and play through.

Lost 50/50, but at least I finally got Diluc, who I actually wanted due to my recent interest in charged attacks lol. I figured I'd keep pulling until Albedo or Benny C6 and got them both in the same 10-pull! Would've been nice for it to happen before pulling 5 extra Noelles.

Blew 140 wishes, though. Hope my 70 remaining wishes and whatever we get over this version will be enough for Itto.

Congrats, that's a pretty decent pity breaker if he is your first copy. Albedo is a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to seeing your future comps with him!

Also I am SERIOUSLY tempted by that Albedo glasses stand :sweatdrop: is Aitai Kuji a reputable reseller?

Feels kind of weird logging into the game and the red margins haven't moved at all for the first time in almost half a year. Also it's been a long day but I'd swear there's something different about the game graphically for me and I haven't changed any settings or anything.

This must be my best artifact pull ever. (For Benny)



Also got his C1 in a single 10-pull. (Which is all I wanted from this banner.)

Same, I had the same sensation when 1.1 hit. Plunges specifically felt different, maybe motion blur has changed?

Bennett has a new E voice line too.

I got C1 Albedo and a lucky Thoma pull out of my saved-up wishes, so gacha went well this patch as far as I'm concerned.

It looks like the game really wants me to switch off HoD in favor of Albedo's fancy new sword. Who am I to disagree?

what is this eula trial? A bunch of the ranged treasure hoarders that she two shots. I spent most of the trial just chasing down guys, this is a terrible demo for a character

I've rarely found them particularly good demos since they tend to just wipe everything before I've even been able to get a feel for the character at all. I tend to just do the ones I want for the resources they give

But now would be good.

Swore I was going to skip the banner, tried Albedo's trial, got him in 40 pulls. Now he gets to sit in the back of the party until I have enough flowers to level him, and makes Ning absolutely shred this stupid rock wolf. God yes.

Albedo at 75. This is good as I was up against a 50/50 and couldn't spare the gems to dig deep. I got a Rosaria, a Rainslasher, a Fav claymore... and goddamn loving C20 Noelle. I pissed off someone at Mihoyo or something because I swear I can't not roll a Noelle.

I got diluc from the 50-50 and now I like Eula but I want to save for Ganyu more. :negative:

Maybe they'll start running 3 banners at a time...

Nope, she even beats out level 13 Childe/Raiden autos.

drat you were not kidding lol. just feels purposely awful to get plinked at while your only partner is Lisa (even if she's blasting off bursts left and right)

maybe intended to show her interrupt resistance, though idk if throwing knives even normally interrupt moves

I spent my rolls on Albedo but didn't hit pity yet. I'll probably keep rolling over the course of the banner unless the 2.4 character mechanic leaks look really fun. Albedo would be nice on my Hu Tao team.

That said, I don't currently use my C6 Fischl who is probably overall stronger.

not planning on buying a whale pack now (not denying I'm a whale :v:), but how often/have they refreshed the initial 2x bonus for packs? I can almost pretend it's a decent buy for my horrible gambling addiction with the extra rolls but without it, eh.

They refreshed once for Inazuma. The 2.0 sales charts look hilarious. Maybe they'll refresh again in 3.0, or maybe not.

Edit: Wait, was it 2.1? It was whatever the Raiden patch was.

I'd imagine, you'd think they'd do it twice a year or something at that rate.

So the Kokomi set seems pretty promising. Even at low investment, I seem to be hitting ~25-30% of the cap during my E and maybe ~80% during Q (both talent level 8 and ~24k hp). My only significant gear is level 90 Prototype Amber and a +20 off-set healing hat. The flower is +8 and the rest of the set was random +0 garbage.

The popping sound is pretty annoying though, lol.

Eula’s trial is horrible, but consider this: she’s also not very fun to play in the overworld either.

I just really don’t like her burst mechanics. She’s fine in the abyss.

honestly i think the period of abyss near her release where they really wanted to put in heralds killed any enthusiasm i might've had for her

just such an annoying character to use when shield mechanics come into play and in general i did not end up liking her as much as her design. at least she looks good with the fish sword and my friendship farming will soon be done.
