So I guess it's gonna be 4 star dps for me, for a while. Dan and Serval carry, go?

susang, sampo, and hook are all pretty good 4* dps options too, especially sushang

you can go to another zone and then back to reset its position

Thanks. I tried just teleporting to a place in-zone and it didn't work, leaving the zone entirely didn't occur to me. I'll check back next time I load the game.

You forgot Silver Wolf / Haxxor Bunny, Shushang, there's apparently an Otto twin coming up, and I'm pretty sure Kafka looks like Eden with her hair tied. (And if so, I would like Eden much more with this English voice acting.) Also Welt in particular feels, even in main game HI3, like he has kind of a lot of "that's probably interesting but I'm not going to track down and read a whole comic for it" going on. (Or maybe it's just that I like his design and his stigma art (and now his fight in Alien Space) but he never does anything in the HI3 game. Here's hoping we get to see him do stuff here.)

But if you don't think it's worth it that's fine. Hoyo is pretty good about keeping that sort of thing's relevance and exploration at a place where you don't really need the extra info. It's not important, it will probably never be important, and if it is they will tell you the important part. But it is fun.

Also Bronya and Seele are pretty explicitly gay. I'm not sure how canon it is but Veliona has a Seele body pillow in her mind palace sometimes. Bronya can tell the difference between Seele and Veliona and has been able to since the orphanage, long before being told about her. After Veliona having some initial jealousy issues they seem to get along now. Veliona's actual in-universe name is "Seele" or "Other Seele," chosen because when asked to name her Seele was like "well you're me, right? You deserve the name just as much as me." I'm not sure where the name "Veliona" comes from, but it's on Stygian Nymph so . . .

And wait I'm pretty sure Bronya has normal flesh legs, they just don't really work until after she becomes a Herrscher?


Also the crazy rear end Genshin lore speculation with references to Gnosticism and all sorts of mythological and historical references and stuff is the best. :allears:

Does anyone know how long the codes usually last? I claimed all the ones on prydwen early this morning and they worked just fine. My girlfriend just tried them and it said they'd expired. Are the other hoyoverse game's codes usually something you've really gotta stay on top of and use right away?

Better make up our minds then on exactly what is and isnt allowed to be posted in this thread and what is and isn't allowed to be said by whom specifically or not and put it in the OP then. It hasnt even been a week yet and will be a long several years possibly otherwise unless some posting rules and boundaries are set.

^^^ Lore posting is fine IMO, but you have a tendency to get wound up about things (like I specifically recognize you as "the poster who frequently gets wound up about social media"). My recommendation is to go do something else any time you start feeling emotions about posts. This probably sounds condescending, but it's something I actually do myself any time I start feeling mad/defensive online.

Meowywitch posted:

Anyway I'm like 60 rolls in and still haven't gotten a 5* from Seele's banner. I'll probably have to wait till TB 25's free rolls to finally trigger it. Fingers crossed.

This is, unfortunately, normal. I've played Genshin since release, and very rarely get a 5* before soft pity. You should generally act under the assumption that this will be the case (with the exception of something like "rolling on a banner where I don't want its 5*," since that can gently caress you over if you get "lucky").

I liked the lore posts and was disappointed to see anyone go "wow, what dumb bullshit, please shut up"

I see a lot of dumb bullshit and don't feel the need to post every time I see it, much less posting ten times to really drive home the fact that somebody else enjoys something in a way I don't and are therefore wrong to do so

Is the only realistic-over-time method of getting tickets just the five from embers a week? And I guess a few from level ups here and there.

The embers tickets are going to be 5 a month not week, the first reset just happens to kind of work out for both.

It's weird that they call the main character The Trailblazer when everyone on the train is a Trailblazer. March 7 is a Trailblazer. Dan Heng is a Trailblazer.

Character ascensions, the five from embers a month, the battle pass, trailblazer levels, etc. There's a few sources of them but they aren't really farmable-farmable.

As someone who clicks through all dialog as fast as possible and does not care about the story, let people post lore stuff if they want. Even if it ends up being wrong, who cares, it is less white noise than any of my posts endless posts about what 5*s we are rolling or whatever and you could just not read it.

Also, I wish I knew our team needed to be level 30 to complete a certain part of the game, my min/maxing brain will not let me upgrade anything until absolutely necessary "what if I get something better", so I was playing through the whole game at like level ... 20 by that point. I still find it mentally hard to upgrade relics/3* items because they are inevitably going to get something better. What Trailblazer level allows you to go above character level level 40? 30?

each 20? level step will up your world equiliburm level, which increases your cap... and the cap on everything, including enemies. after you do the trial, anyway, which is a level/dps check

Wait a sec, these 5 star cards in the Herta shop are actually, like, 4.5 star cards. What a scam. I mean still a very decent reward since you can also buy refinements for pretty cheap, but still.

Apparently everyone on the space station is a hyper-genius who was the smartest person from their country/planet. And then there's the protagonist, who is just this dumb guy making fun of them in text messages (though I guess some people, like security, probably aren't hyper-geniuses).

I like the side-quest where the wubbaboos are mourning this random guy who was a genius on his home planet but completely forgettable on the station. And their sentiment is proved right when other people are like "no I don't remember that guy" :(
