Maybe someday they'll let you temporarily drop quests but until they do I'm never gonna unlock a quest I'm not gonna finish IMMEDIATELY, ever again. Like who cares if there are 2 Nilous out at once? Nobody.

Do you take the (big) damage in order to deal (much smaller) damage to enemies? It's very engaging!" Entire playerbase: "lol no" ...

About the only thing I knew was to blast it with the doohicky before it does the instakill, the rest was just facerolling with a good team. It's a fun spectacle but I don't think it's really well designed, sadly. I'm not playing on a phone where the controls are half the screen, so I'm usually focused on dodging attacks instead of seeing some extra button light up. In story mode Hu deleted phase one in a few seconds, then ran around for a while until phase 3 happened, then ran around a little while until I won because of the autoaim option pig thing. In the weekly version I just brute forced it with ZL/Ganyu/friendship/friendship and ate the deaths. The time for me to care about mechanics is not after blowing nearly eight loving hours mostly fast-forwarding through multiple quest chains.

The new boss is the first one I had to actually read the tutorial pop up at the beginning, yeah. Considering how irrelevant a lot of the panels are in the first phase I think they ran out of good ideas halfway through but felt compelled to complete the set.

man im really torn between continuing to try for nahida to use my guaranteed 50/50 or saving for wanderer (at which point we might have more alhaitham details so i might end up skipping and saving for him instead) i have tighnari + signature weapon so im not really hurting for dendro, but i have yae and yelan so i could do a good hyperbloom team, but those could be just as good for wanderer, but alhaitham sounds like he's gonna be nutty if the leaks we got in that huge data scrape are true

Archon reruns seem pretty frequent, so skipping Nahida now isn't the end of the world. I think Mihoyo did Dendro Traveler dirty by releasing his/her C6 and Nahida in the same patch. They're still a very capable dendro support.

I could definitely be playing the team better. There are still plenty of odd details I'm working out. At first this was a team where TF Bennet was filling time in the rotation, now it seems like TF Beidou makes a lot more sense. As long as Nahida is there, Beidou can cause an electro reaction by doing pretty much anything. C4 Beidou can even apply electro with normal and charge attacks if she thinks she recently saw a number approaching her in a hostile fashion. In that clip she reduces her cooldown with a charge attack because she has a quicken aura to react with. She actually manages to proc the cooldown reduction 3 times, without even trying too hard, because the first one appears to be free. I need to figure out how often I can get Beidou to do parries. Getting two into a Bennet burst is simple enough, but 3 should be possible.

She doesn't completely make DMC or Collei irrelevant, but she's pretty unmatched as a Dendro enabler who does shitloads of damage effective at any range and unlikely to be dethroned. Wanderer looks like he'll mostly be a hypercarry that needs specific supports (i.e. Faruzan), albeit a super stylish one who's SSS tier in exploration.

By the time you've got gear from the new set (because it's always a new set) for The Mouche it'll be nearly time for a rerun anyway.

Leveling the talent at least to 6 is probably worth it if you're spending a good chunk of time attacking with her, but if Nahida is just an E bot who then swaps out and lets someone else like Keqing take the field, yeah you can it at 1.

On top of that, she'll also bring a decent amount of cc.

Those were just the best stats I got out of running the artifact domain 5 times because I don't have much that's great for Dendro yet even though I have all three characters I use her in a Fischl/Xingqiu/Yelan/Raiden team normally or I'll drop the electro put in a not-Bennet healer if there're lots of mushrooms so I can get more normal mushroom drops, I'd have her kitted out for EM if I had any artifacts for it.

I was fighting the new weekly boss with Fischl/Yelan/Zhongli/Ayato and the construct the boss makes that you have to break before the spirit bomb was taking zero damage from hydro, physical, or electro. Is that normal? Was I missing something? Didn't have a problem on my story run through with three cryo + kazuha.

I think they all have electro shields on them that you have to break.

That's normal. They're electro shields so they require a reaction, meaning physical doesn't work, they're immune to electro, and what do you know electro-charged also deals electro damage so it doesn't break electro shields. It's a really dumb mechanic, but luckily it doesn't matter because it's not a real enemy and it doesn't matter if one of your people dies.

Anyway the annoying thing about them is you can't reach 2/3 of them if you're hutao. I tried the fight on idiot baby mode and just like in the story version, what actually kills the stupid robot is better paimon, because i'm too busy wandering around the stage poking at the idiot puzzles, when i'm not getting stomped on by a boss that is entirely too large to actually dodge. Xalidur posted:I'm glad we destroyed the internet. I wonder how the concresoil quest chain starts, now that he doesn't have the akasha to tell him "tough poo poo, you make pottery." Guess it doesn't have to change too much, seeing as the thing existed until a week ago anyway. What's weird is that I finally finished the quest, after being so mad at being told to wait 2 days (in game) that I just ignored the thing for two days (real), and even when I glanced at reddit, there weren't a million threads about one of the very exciting things nahida was willing to share (specifically the descenders/your brother|sister isn't one bit). I guess they're too busy posting about mouse cursor charge attacks or whatever.

Also, given the implications of the world memory stuff, and the fact that Fontaine has been hyped up so far as "Ace Attorney French Bioshock Land where we have The Talk about Celestia", we could be in for a real wild ride once the plot picks up again.

Zikan posted:So what’s the setup here. Does Sayu still roll with VV or does the fact she’s a hyperbloom trigger mean she wants to use one of the new sets? Sayu mainly wants as much EM as possible. If you can get that with a VV set it's great, you'll get more swirl damage and elemental shred against electro. Giving her Gilded Dreams would probably work out just fine. She should also be level 90 is you're serious about really doing this. Barbara is holding 4 pieces of Thundering Fury (stats don't matter) and an R5 Thrilling Tales. The team has to work around Fischl's uptime and Barbara's cooldown. You want to be rolling the whole time that the bird is active. I actually screwed up a little in the clip and infused Sayu with electro. It's better to start the roll and then avoid enemies at first so it infuses hydro instead. You get more Dendro cores that way, but for some reason it makes very little difference against single targets. After Sayu is done spin dashing, you get to phase 2 of the rotation. Fire off Sayu's and Fischl's burst, then stand there and do normal attacks with Barbara. With Sayu doing swirls from off-field, you get a taser squad going. Barbara will be causing electro-charge with her attacks, which will reduce her cooldown, so you can start the rotation over again. Nahida -> Barbara -> Fishcl -> roll around at the speed of sound. This is not a practical team. Everything crashes to a halt if Sayu's roll is interrupted. A heavy attack will knock her out of her roll. Coming into contact with cryo will freeze her, which is a real problem with these Eremites that like to infuse themselves with cryo and get up in your personal space.

The new weekly boss sucks because its brute forceable and super boring that way, but also none of its mechanics are required to be engaged with to win. So none are sign posted well, but if you do the mechanics it becomes a better fight. Like I'm an idiot and I didn't know only the core took full damage so I just nipped at the legs like an idiot and didn't see the platform that let's you hit the core. But also its giant and if you're melee you're already down there so it's hard to see. Idk, it fails at being a normal boss or a puzzle fight because they tried to split the difference.

 Apparently Genshin set two statistical records this week, one in global and one in China. One with the most liked tweet on the official English Global twitter account ever with Scaramouche's redesign reveal (It's almost up to 400K likes now), and the other with Nahida/Yoimiya allegedly having the first banner to generate more revenue on China IOS on it's 3rd day of being active than on the 1st day which is being credited to people finishing the archon quest on the 2nd or 3rd day of 2.2 and being motivated to make sure they grab at least a C0 of Nahida. The 2nd one can't really be 100% confirmed although it's being subjected to the same metric all banner analysis has been to date so it would appear to be the case that it's estimated revenue was 5.1 Million USD for Day 1 (which was already apparently the best first day performance for a Genshin banner on China IOS) and 6.3 Million USD for Day 3. Also there's no way to divine people's exact specific motivations for these things other than to base it off internet chatter from Chinese BBS, WeChat etc. I don't think it's possible for the Nahida/Yoimiya banner run to do any worse than Top 5 all time for China IOS. As to what's going on in those images, the spikes you see in order are from Tighnari/Zhongli, Ganyu/Kokomi, Cyno/Venti, Nilou/Albedo and then Nahida/Yoimiya going live on 08/24, 09/09, 09/28, 10/14 and then 11/02 respectively and the number on the y column is conversion to USD. To put it in perspective I guess, by the end of the day after 5 days of being active it should already be beyond the Ayato/Venti one and by the end of the first week it's probably going to be beyond Hu Tao's rerun from last October and the Kazuha/Klee one from version 2.8 with still another week and a half to go. There's no reason to believe it can't necessarily be the best performing banner period for China IOS to date. China has no chill with player spending when it comes to this game or Honor of Kings it would seem, though Honor of Kings isn't a gacha game to begin with. Also for that like 1 or 2 other folks that play Honkai in this thread, it looks like they've finally revealed at least a portion of the Herscherr of the End for that one. It looks like it's kind of coming into existence in the trailer. End of Evangelion vibes.

Got Nahida from the guaranteed pull on ~76 Pity? I almost want to thank Qiqi for showing up during the last banner's 50/50 because DMC & Keqing combo has been tearing through enemies as expected and I imagine this can only be more efficient than that. Finally, my silly FTP rear end can chill with this game for a little while. And thank god for that because the quest writing was starting to do my head in. Surely they don't need all that filler at this point? That Xiao-centric interlude for example had some nice, poignant stuff in there and one or two interesting concepts that would've hit harder without all the chaff around it...
