YoshiOfYellow posted:It would be fine if the dialogue didn't run around in circles for 10 minutes to say something that could be condensed into like 5 minutes or less. There's a lot of meandering and flavorless prose. This game is like entry level on that front compared to some other popular Visual Novel stuff out there but it definitely does do that at times.

A quick weapon banner question: would you pull for the weapon banner now if you got an Ayaka, Ayato and Venti or wait for the mistsplitter which is the Best 5 star with a potentially bad 2nd weapon? How good is the current weapon banner? I really missed out on Homa + Gravestone and I doubt they will have that next weapon banner. Is the Ayato weapon good for Ayaka too? I know it’s crit rate but my only weapon on her is the R5 Anemona. I want a good upgrade for my Ayaka and I just lucked into a Ayato on my 50/50 roll but not sure I he will be on my abyss teams for a while. I know elegy is really good on my venti so I might just focus on that weapon instead. Im now realizing that most new C0 5* units won’t be an upgrade to my abyss freeze and raiden national teams so getting the weapons now is the priority. Also is C1 Ayaka not worth it as an upgrade?

Mistsplitter is best weapon for Ayaka by a lot and it is quite good on Ayato. C1 Ayaka does nothing except serve as bait for her meaningful constellations (2, 3, and 4). Mistsplitter Ayaka is a pretty meaningful upgrade because of how her comps work, haran Ayato is mostly for fun. If you arent desperately bored I recommend skipping both. Weapon banner is mostly a way to gamble with deadlier stakes if you have some extra rolls. You really don't want to get into a position where you're chasing your third weapon pity like ever.

Kale posted:Hangouts are the thing I'm furthest behind on cause I admit they dont entirely do it for me. In Japan they dont even make pretense of it and just call them date events. Some are a bit amusing like the Noelle one, others like Chongyun I'm not so sure. I'm fine with calling them hangouts as a catch-all; some characters like Barbara definitely want to date you, but others like Bennett just want to go and have an adventure with you. AG3 posted:Agreed. We need more content where Paimon's presence doesn't render the MC's existence superflous. Paimon's meant to save time and money by allowing Mihoyo to not have to record double the lines whenever they record dialogue, while also serving to recap the player on events they might have forgotten about. It's not a choice I like, but I get it; not everyone plays the game regularly or is that invested in the story, so they need a way to make sure players know what's going on and Paimon's it. I am with you, though, in that I'd like Traveler to have more agency in the storyline and interact more, even if Paimon's the only character your choices affect. If nothing else, it'd be nice if they gave Traveler dialogue in non-spoken events. I get not letting Traveler talk during dialogue with spoken lines, but there's nothing wrong with letting them tell off a cookie-cutter NPC instead of Paimon doing it for them

I understand that for a lot of the content, but they didn't even give the twins voiced dialogue when literally talking to each other. They had to bring them both in for the lines for the other side, why not just have them have a voiced conversation!?

Hey, the traveler did get one voiced line in this patch, which in my case was the word "onii-chan..." during a cutscene in the Chasm. We're getting there!

Mix. posted:Ive always liked the story in these events so Ive never understood the complaint that theres too much story There isn't too much story. There's too much repeated text, too much waiting for animations, too many "Well I could tell you, but first lets go somewhere else that is between two fast travel points" bits, and just way too much padding in general. Everything is a two sentence plot stretched out to a novel. It's been the same ever since 2.0 dropped. Stack that on top of only being able to skip quest requirements the first day, so for day two I had to clear Ayato's quest and day three required Yae. On top of slogging through those backed up story quests I had to get through the rather boring event quest chain and then I could do the event stuff. Concentrating it all into a few days so I can get the event rewards is far more annoying than when it's spread out.

I found 12-2-2 to be disgusting, but the only thing more enraging is trying to panic quit 12-3-2 while ganyu's burst is going and you realize the timer is at 7:02 and it's not going to trigger cryo twice in that time, and failing as you win at 6:59.

I know very little about game development, I sort of remember someone saying that Genshin's kinda jank because they're using I think Unity and it's generally a nightmare to get to do what you want it to. What's a better engine, if anyone has any insight?

i think it was something like 12-1: handful of resets on 1, breezed 2 12-2: breezed 1, single reset on 2 12-3: couple resets on 1, cleared 2 by a second Bennett creates about as many problems as he solves in those sets of rooms, i feel like. covering you in pyro for 12-1-1 to react negatively with and having awful healing for 12-3-1's burn effects

I'm like 72 pulls into 50/50 and still no 5 star. I've won the last 2 or 3 50/50s so I feel like my luck is close to running out and for the first time I'm considering buying crystals.

gandlethorpe posted:Does Ayato use an HP sands or is that mechanic a trap? The main effect of the mechanic is that a talent 10 ayato with 4 stacks has a normal buff very roughly equal to ~80% atk (factoring in flower), meaning that you want crit over atk even more than usual similar to how noelle and itto work. This is also the reason Bennett doesnt buff him as much as you might expect him to while kazuha adds his usual 50% and yunjin does her thing admirably, and why 10% dmg from HoD can so often outperform the 18% atk from glad.

You don't even go above 0.6% chance until the 74th pull. If you're the type of person to whip out the credit card on a whim due to bad luck you shouldn't trust yourself around gacha games. That's the exact kind of sucker they prey on. If you're gonna spend money, plan your max budget in advance instead of doing it in the moment. And remember that only 90/180 rolls is actually guaranteed, so if you budget for less than that you need to keep in mind that you're gambling and be prepared to walk away without the 5* you were rolling for instead of throwing more money past your budget at it.

I have to say after writing the above post I'm even more impressed with Ayato's design. He benefits more from flat buffs like Yunjin while Yoimiya's insane talent multipliers benefit more from atk buffs. They managed to go to that level of differentiation between the two normal attack specialists.

I did the maths for my Ayato electro-charged comp and determined the r2 Black Sword deals significantly better average dmg than the r3 Lion's Roar. Tested on both 2-1 slimes and lvl 90 enemies in a domain with the same results. My crit rate is actually too high using the black sword (76%) so it's highly likely that anyone else will see even better returns with the black sword on Ayato. Still, if you have an r5 Lion's Roar and an r1 Black Sword that might be enough to tip the scale in favor of Lion's Roar. Not sure how Ayato's HP buffs work or even when. I repeated single-attacks with his skill using dash-cancels inbetween attacks until I had a consistent highest crit and highest non-crit value.

The last two took me forever to do and I couldn't for the life of me to the last one on Dire. The parry mechanic is a neat idea that I wish they actually implemented properly into the game beyond Beidou's skill but the execution of it felt off. The Ikebana thing wasn't that great. I didn't mind trying to follow the clues in the picture but it gives you the solution so quickly and then you just follow that and.. done. Okay? Tower defense once again sucked horribly.

Against Taroumaru the main thing is to understand the mechanic. They explain things in a strange way as always, but you just attack/parry until he does the two-part move. It's fine if you don't parry the first hit, the second one where he spins with a huge delay is easy once you've seen the timing. Then parrying that knocks him down which is your main damage source.

You don't have to beat the dog to get the rewards. Just finish a battle with him without quitting. Die with honor or run out of time. I rate this event 0/10. I already have c6 XQ so it doesn't really matter.   The Chasm is excellent though, really enjoying exploring there.

I just finished all the event content. I enjoyed it and it was fun seeing a large variety of characters interacting with each other (particular Albedo and Venti being there - Venti is by far the best Archon). Pretty lucrative, too. Lots of money and talent mats.

I'm gonna work on Yunjin now that I have Ayato at 80 with decent progress I think. Now my main question would be artifact set. Seemingly Husk is the obvious choice to really maximize Yunjin's DEF and thus her unique buff but would Noblesse be worth considering for the ATK boost effect? Not sure how the math works out there.

I was more thinking of the 4pc Noblesse party wide ATK buff going to Ayato and whether that would outweigh the higher DEF for Yunjin's thing.
