Zenostein posted:"We've implemented morrowind's quest log, on top of your regular quest log. Also it's an item, and your only notice that it's updated is a little mark on the item description." I can't say I'm a fan of the book. It is a pretty good way to convince you to explore regions, but only very small parts of that region. I had to go back through those dungeons to find the last teleport, because it was "up" instead of "forward," where the quest points you. And even then I've still got a cave that isn't fully drained and a door blocking my way out of a cave with no apparent way to open it. Aranyaka would take an inordinate amount of time without a guide. Even with a walkthrough it still took quite a while. Overall, it was quite enjoyable. But it was also very long.

I don't see why you'd need a guide when they are constantly pointing out where to go, but it did take a long time.

Clarste posted:I don't see why you'd need a guide when they are constantly pointing out where to go, but it did take a long time. The post aranaka questline aranaka quests are vaguely hinted at in it, rather than listed as actual quests, until you stumble onto their activation npc or whatever. Like the stuff with the old dude, which I found by spotting his campfire. Or whatever it wants me to do with the flower garden, which now just says "someone would like to see this flower garden, here in the real world, not the dream. now that you've come here to the flower garden in the real world, and not in a dream.1" Also aq. fav's still fine on anyone with a sword who wants atk, even if the passive's largely wasted. If I hadn't given it to jean, because it fits her better, it'd be nice for my idiot phys qiqi. Also, cursed katana's still funnier 1I looked it up, and the wiki just had the text from the book, which just gives a name. So for anyone wondering who wants a field of sweet flowers: Varsha is the kid down a hole full of withering, behind a wall hidden by a flower that won't appear until you've cleared out the withering. The hole's on the east side of a little plateu to the east of the NWmost teleport location (the one in the sand, not the one for the fungus bird). It has a little road going to it on the map, and it's behind a house with some eremites. Shouldn't be too hard to spot. Zenostein fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Sep 15, 2022 |

FractalSandwich posted:100%. I've been badly neglecting my talent levels (the game really encourages you to prioritize ascension) so I still haven't gotten to the point where I need weekly boss drops for any of them. What did make for a really bad experience was rolling Shinobu as my very first standard banner 4-star and having to scrounge together Naku Weed from Yoimiya's trial event and Spectral Husks from stardust before I could ascend her at all... and then being stuck at level 40/40 forever because I couldn't get to the Ruin Serpent. You don't even have the option to level your talents until A2! At you least you didn't pull Kujoh Sara as your first 4*.

Ugh, this new event has the issue that while you're in the menus for it, you can't access individual characters' menus, so no weapon/artifact switching unless you back all the way out. Abyss has always had the same problem, but for some reason normal domains don't; you can press a button (square on PS5) while picking a character and have full access to their equipment. Only this time, with this current event, once you've done the first wave, I didn't find any way to get out of the menus. So it seems you have to finish it once you've started and if you haven't played around with your melt team for a while and they have crap weapons or missing artifacts, it's gonna be a drag. Yeah, there are trial characters available but it's such a weird way of doing things.

In the Abyss it's probably so you don't have one set of weapons/artifacts that you trade back and forth between the teams, or something along those lines.

No I mean you can back out of the abyss between floors and change things, but you have to back out, you can't do it inside the abyss menus which is just inconvenient.

Are you talking about the "slomo camera to find weaknesses" event? Because even if you have those characters, you're still using the trial version. I just checked, and the trial Fischl has 2 TF/Glad, while mine has 2 TF/Bloodstain.

I keep wishing this game had some kind of like endless battle or horde mode or roguelike mode or something. A lot of the events I find the most fun are the ones that are just like "kill lots of enemies and also there's a gimmick" and I'd love some version of that kind of mode that is permanent. Even if I rarely invest enough into my characters to get super far or anything, it'd still be fun to mess around with.

I wouldn’t mind an endurance mode that stopped you from reusing previous characters, like some events already had. Give max rewards after 2-3 teams, but the event just keeps going until you lose.

Does rolling a 5-star reset the 4-star pity timer? The in-game description makes it sound like it should, but I've never seen anyone say that explicitly.

Took a long break from this game and just blew through the Archon quests for Inazuma + Sumeru in quick succession, and the difference was pretty stark. Inazuma was incredibly dumb while Sumeru actually managed to get me invested in a Genshin Impact storyline; a task I thought impossible. Hoping it's a sign of genuine improvement rather than just being a one-off.

It doesn't, but it can disrupt your pity in one extremely unlikely and limited way. If you have a guaranteed 4-star next roll, you can still get a 5-star instead, but it won't cancel your pity, you'll get your 4-star the roll after. Just delays it one, so you have 11 pulls between 4-stars.

Oh, huh. I assumed a 5-star roll would replace your pity 4-star, at the very least. I wrote a script that simulates the gacha to help my planning, so I guess I have a very minor bug to fix. FractalSandwich fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Sep 15, 2022 |

Another newbie question: I talked to what appeared to be just a random NPC in the little rest area before the mountain zone filled with lvl 30 stuff and he gave me a 4 star artifact. Is that a common thing and is there a list somewhere showing who has what? Seems like most NPCs either don’t give anything or else they hand over a meat skewer or whatever.

Some NPCs give you a treat when you read their dialogue the first time. Usually garbage items but a few NPCs give something actually good. The only one you really don't want to miss is this dude who gives you a unique sword: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Chen_the_Sharp I use it on Shinobu. Saves me a billet crafting a 2nd iron sting and looks cooler (when you ascend it.) ninjoatse.cx posted:grind clam. You’ve already raised all of her talents, taken her final ascension and given her her best 4 star dps weapon (outside hakuhin ring taser teams), give her the clam set to see her really pop off.  Realistically it's probably like 10,000+.I refined the proto amber to r3 for Kokomi. Turns out I don't need Kokomi for heals at all with the r3 proto amber.  I might have to look at Heizou again, he could totally do the job of a full-time healer and still be support-battery for VV swirl resist shred.

^^^ I remember early on when there was that big involved Liyue puzzle culminating in a single 5* artifact, which was a bigger deal at the time because you had no other way to get 5* artifacts due to lower AR. IMO they should have kept Aranara as Aran-nara in localization. Sounds better.

Not too common. Also note that that mountain is meant for after Liyue and would be a big difficulty spike to go to before you get sent there. This didn't used to be communicated well, don't know if they fixed it. Unrelated HEADS UP TO THE LIKE 4 PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD WHO PLAY HONKAI Next update after the current one has a new weapon for Herrscher Of Reason, that should catch her up to the meta. It gathers and makes drifting in circles on her motorcycle her new optimum rotation. Herrscher Of Reason is technically farmable, they gave out a free copy a while back, she has a robot Stand that turns into a motorcycle, and is a character we've been following all story. Herrscher Of Human: Ego who just came out is more expensive to get, does not have a robot Stand that turns into a motorcycle, and is a character who apparently needed two full updates telling you how great she is. They are the same element, but Reason is a rarer type. Use this information as you will.

Also it seems to have worked whatever they did with her cause the Honkai community for the character seems bonkers for her.
