It has the MOBA/team FPS problem of everyone wanting to play carry in multiplayer, though thankfully without the hours long sessions that force everyone into hating each other by the end.

Pulled Yae and I'm quite liking her. Trying to settle on a team. I've been running Yae + C6 Fischl + Nahida + C4 Sayu which I enjoy but I'm interested in other options. Yae + Nahida are non-negotiable. Sayu I wouldn't mind ditching because I prefer having a skill healer rather than a burst one for general gameplay, and keeping VV up is irritating + often feels like a waste of time against anything that isn't super tanky. Would taking C4 Kuki instead be a terrible idea? I haven't built her yet so I'm not sure if she's actually any good at healing or if her electro would help proc any worthwhile aggravate. What about turning it into a hyperbloom team by using Kokomi as a healer? Raiden is supposedly coming up soon and I might pick her up. How would she do as a replacement for Fischl, either in a setup with Kokomi adding hydro or one without? Preferably in an off-field role with EM. The higher range sounds pretty appealing.

Your main DPSs can be supports, and your supports can get extra mileage for booster 3 other players at once. Some players, like Xingqiu, drops down significantly, and other are down right worthless (Thoma), but you also unlock lots of top notch combos between characters who really want o be on the field at the same time, like Hu Tao, Ayato, Ayaka, Yoimiya, etc. A well built Raiden in coop means every will always have their bursts up, regardless of team composition.

Yeah, but what do you do with Raiden when your ult is on cooldown? Dinky white damage? Even with infinite energy you still have cooldowns.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:basically there are three conflicting design priorities when it comes to F2P mmo boss design This is really insightful. The thing I hate most about the combat is teleporting. I have to chase the boss (Or the whopperflower or the abyss mage or the cicin mage or the mirror maiden...) for the fight I want to have. Raiden and Scaramouche both climb into giant mecha and both blink out of the way of my foot-bound dps. It's sad that the most obvious solution is to grind big enough numbers to obviate the mechanics of those fights but even if I do that there are bosses that waste my time with what can only be described as dance solos. Edit: After using Heizou and his enemy seeking E & Q a lot, there's no excuse for Ningguang's lovely tracking. The lady has too much poise to have such a sloppy Q.

I had forgotten the Diluc event did offer a hardmode. The only events I didn't full clear were a few of the earlier choose-your-difficulty ones, and that's largely because I didn't have the characters (or didn't have them built) that could do them. Since they decided to frontload all the good rewards to earlier tiers I stopped caring about it.Clarste posted:I don't know if this is what you meant, but honestly this game makes no sense in multiplayer.

But multiplayer completely ruins that and you end up controlling XQ or whatever and feeling weak and useless. The team-building is one of the good aspects of the game that I enjoy, so multiplayer has never had anything for me. When I'm forced to do it for an event I grumble and do it, but otherwise it's a straight single-player game for me. That event was effectively your roster plus four rotating freebies (which we've had others since) and I think you couldn't use the same character twice in a row. It was kinda like Abyss Lite, and was nothing near hard. You could clear all the gem-giving tiers using just the freebie characters in 2-man teams. The complaint wasn't about the format, though, it was about the lack of multiplayer. Like a large number of very loud people had been carried through the entire game by whales in multiplayer and when confronted with solo content completely fell apart.

Oh she's dead lol Yes I know she's not for everyone. But I love her playstyle. Goes bonkers if you really invest in her with team & build but I suppose that's true for most.

And it's fine, the stasi won't swoop in in the middle of the night to take you away for doing normal attacks. But it doesn't matter, the real purpose of coop is helping l.20 people out by deleting whatever they're stuck on with qiqi.

I use coop to clear the weekly bosses at level 90 as I can just sit back and chip away with Ganyu while someone else uses their C6R5 Raiden or whatever to just delete 80% of it's health.

Nyaawn posted:is shinobu worth using at c0 Yup. Using her at C0 in my hyperbloom team and she works great. Just cleared abyss with her on my nahida team. Its a bit annoying not having her skill up 100% but its not that much of a dps loss really. The bigger radius on her skill would also be nice to have for sure.

I run co-op domains when I get bored of instantly deleting stuff while grinding for that one perfect artifact. Yes it takes longer but at this point there's not much left for me to do outside of events. And occasionally I get to see cool stuff like C6R5 raidens or really really dumb stuff like atk%/crdmg Kokomis.

I've used my expert cartographic skills to sketch out a speculative map of future zones based only on what you can currently see from places easily accessible in-game. I'm absolutely convinced they've got plans for the southern coast of Liyue, based partly on a "road to nowhere" leading there from Sumeru. I'm more skeptical about the desert coast in Sumeru. I think they probably stayed away from there very deliberately to make the desert feel more... deserty. I actually imagined it extending further south like the dunes in the west, but at least as it currently is in-game, the continent abruptly ends just outside the playable area. You can see it from right near the southernmost waypoint just to the west of the big robot; you don't have to go out of your way at all. I honestly have no idea where Natlan is supposed to be, but the only real possibilities are "west of Fontaine" and "north of Fontaine", and the big east-west mountain range along the northern edge of Sumeru is the only thing I could find that even might be a clue.

It feels kind of crazy that we only have 3 more nations plus Khaenriah to reach the end of the known story line. I'm sure that will only lead to some bigger story line because it seems like this money train doesn't have any brakes.

That's not an official Genshin shop or anything, just a reseller who is buying them in China and reselling them overseas at a markup. If you want to "do it yourself", there are independent companies that offer proxy-purchase or forwarding services so foreigners can buy stuff that's only sold locally in China or Japan, a lot of meganerds who collect anime merch or figures etc use them. (I never have myself though.) For China most seem to be "taobao agents" who specifically do this for taobao.com but some offer parcel forwarding service as well, for example just from a quick search superbuy.com will forward a 1kg parcel to the USA in ~13 days for about $17. The idea is that you set up your account with the forwarder, they give you a warehouse address, and then you order whatever you want (raiden statue in this case) and give the forwarder's warehouse as the shipping address. So MHY ships it to the forwarder and the forwarder ships it to you.

I'd just finished a semi-decent health-based artifact set for her before the Sumeru drop... Now I have to farm EM-mainstat TF or GD that also has good crit subs so I don't have to waste time and effort switching between crit/em sets for hyperbloom vs aggravate teams!? Goddammit. Trying to get anything near "good" artifact main/sub combo is the most fun-destroying aspect of the game by far.

The good news is for those who care about EM main stat the substats are not that important so you can get like 2 stats you want and call it a a day. The bad news is EM main stat is one of [maybe the most] rare thing to get much less good substats if any kind.

Did the Nahida story quest line last night, and people seem surprisingly okay with her just randomly showing up in town: yes, they're surprised that an archon would grant them an audience, but not more than that. You'd think that if your god hadn't shown up in person for 500 years and then suddenly reappeared (and turned off the internet in the process), it'd take people some time to adjust. (Even accounting for the changed timeline where Lesser Lord Kusanali has been the archon all along and just "gave up her power" 500 years ago instead of dying and being replaced.)

Having put her on my Sucrose/Fischl/Nahida team as the only healer I have who doesn't also take away too much electro for Fischl to keep up and doesn't inflict the worst element to be inflicted with on me, I think her main purpose is to be a worse Shinobu for people like me who keep missing Shinobu.

Goddammit. The upshot, if you're building Nahida hyperbloom, is that you can farm the GD set while also farming what you need for Nahida. Spending all my non-weekly-bosses resin on that domain since 3.0 came out paid out dividends with a 1023 EM Raiden.
