MNSNTZR posted:the fact that you never really have to pay attention to anything that happens in this game outside of archon/event quests is certainly something else Even so there's still times I'll half-read something while mashing the skip button, and by the time I've realised I should have started paying attention I've already skipped to the next line. Which may be an argument for all the repetition, but I would counter: text logs?!? Surely they could adapt the Travel Log feature to be accessible mid-story segment somehow. But yes, fully agreed. There's a point where you sense you're 50% of the way through a boring quest and that ain't changing anytime soon and it's just wading through molasses after that.

today's batch also had "the razor minigame, but with noelle" so they probably just started running out of time around now but really wanted to fit her in there for the banner synergy

Nyoro posted:gooood damnnnn my Nahida is only level 59 and she's still ripping out throats It's hard for me to quantify exactly how much damage she's doing (I'm not sure how to distinguish between the damage from Nilou's blooms and Nahida's skill procs), but it's obviously a lot because things just die really fast. Should I be trying to use Nahida's skill frequently just for the source of Dendro damage (to proc reactions)? And can Nahida's skill procs actually cause more procs through blooms (does the bloom exploding cause the proc, or the creation of the bloom)? It's hard for me to tell exactly what's going on, because I just see a bunch of green numbers popping up and try to use the other characters' skills when available. My team with Fischl actually does even more damage (it's a great consistent source of reactions, and my Fischl is geared quite well and does very good damage), but I don't use it on the overworld because the Electro damage fucks up fungal spore farming. RareAcumen posted:Nahida funfacts Holy poo poo edit: It's a shame that I already had all the flowers I needed for her ascensions, though it'll still be great for collecting those or the water flowers in the future. This also would have been really nice back when I was farming those wall flowers in Mondstadt. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Nov 6, 2022 |

Tree Reformat posted:I know when you stun it when he tries to do his big stupid instakill move, his chest and cockpit opens up like a 3d Sonic boss and you can clover-grab your way up to a platform to dps on him. Don't know if that's available any other time in phase 2, tho. It literally zooms in on the platform the first time you do it and prompts you :  Genshin devs mostly continue to forget the golden rule of game design: "Players never READ"

Excelzior posted:It literally zooms in on the platform the first time you do it and prompts you : Can you beat him without stunning him? Because I swear to god the only pop up like that I got was something about being able to zoom the camera out (which i didnt entirely take in because I was trying to dodge and attack at the time, and it went away super fast) and something about activating the elemental platforms, which I did do but am still not entirely clear on why I was doing that or if I should have been using one element over another. I just hacked away at his ankles for like 5 solid minutes and eventually he died. I do kind of think they've been a bit over ambitious with the boss fight. The genshin engine does a lot of things well, and a lot of things okay. One thing it does super badly is fighting things bigger than the screen, and another thing it does badly is having flying enemies. So between the fact this fucker flies, is bigger than the screen, and then they've layered two more tiers of assorted busywork bullshit on top... Its not ever going to be my favourite weekly boss I think.

I have yet to stun him because during the archon quest I didn't have anyone that could reach the floating things you have to destroy, then when I did the weekly battle I thought I had learnt my lesson and brought Yelan only to find hydro doesn't work on them.

Yeah any sort of reliance on seeing things or targeting specific stuff ain't genshin's strong point. I really wish on PC and console you could disable the way the game overrides where it thinks you want to swing or aim. Like sure I was pushing the control stick to line up my burst to hit 6 bigger threats, but there was a single dude closer to me on the opposite side. Who can say which I wanted to attack?

How does my Nahida look so far? Mostly built her for EM, as I have no plans on making her a dps.

I have never stunned the boss because the bits you have to destroy are too finicky and gently caress you I'm not switching around my team just for this. I don't even hit his legs either though, tbh, I just run around in circles charging up the cannon. Attacking him for miniscule damage doesn't seem meaningful.

I never had problems destroying the adds but then again I'm a Ning main so if they're like the geo pillars I could see why some people might have problems.

If you're using her as a dendro-application support for any kind of bloom team you really do want that deepwood set even at the cost of EM. The dendro res shred will boost the whole team's hyperbloom/etc damage.

Is it a problem? You can still trivially win the fight. I just think it makes the fight dumb, that's all. Edit: And, you know, it's not like they tell you ahead of time that it is literally impossible to kill these bits without certain characters.

a game where it can take weeks to bring a new character up to spec in all of their various aspects shouldn't be asking you to switch out entire teams of characters for a boss in the first place like that should be the difference between absolute best-time speed clears, not "does this basic mechanic function as intended"

Amazing, I beat the boss and legitimately have no idea what people are talking about. Floating things? Grapple point? Platform?  Wait wait, are the floating things people talking about the ones that float slightly over the ground? You can break those easily with Nahida's charge attack. I guess if you haven't been overworlding with her you might not know how her charge attacks work, but they're medium range have decent vertical tracking and AoE. You'd be surprised what you can hit with it. Unrelated, but you can also cancel them by jumping or swapping, basically as soon as the cursor spawns  I've been practicing cancelling charge attacks into Beidou switch parries and it's going pretty well.

I have fought the new boss in story. Definitely felt a bit jank, the sequence of activating+aiming+firing controls for the gimmick weapon was clunky and could have been better explained. That said, shields still made the fight quite easy. Looks like Geo is good enough for breaking the central mechanisms when the doom timer starts, but Qiqi made it easier to destroy them quickly. If someone has faster application for something that reacts with Electro, they are probably set. Using the grapple points is conceptually cool, but I think they could have spiced things up a bit. A more varied battlefield would make ziplining around feel more necessary... then again, it would have made designing the boss a lot more challenging. In terms of the story elements, the Doctor turns out to be a lot more fun than I was expecting. Possibly my favorite villain so far in Genshin.

Eh 'just swap your team' is also iffy advice in a game that makes getting an endgame team such a resource sink that's also extremely timegated. Like even beyond leveling and artifacts. If you don't have the weekly boss resources, or maybe weren't grinding out that Tuesday domain because you didn't need it until now, it's not like you can transmute the mats or books you actually have. Like if especially a world boss can't be done by my Itto Geo team, there's probably not a good chance my other units that are 10-30 levels behind can do the content.

FractalSandwich posted:None of that matters for breaking elemental construct shields, though. They only care about elemental application. And most bosses only summon them in a phase where they don't even attack you, so you could do it with a level 1 character and be just fine. But my synergies...
