I’m at the point of the game where there’s just nothing to do. Commissions take less than 10 minutes. Then 4-5 artifact domains every other day. And then… that’s it.

Oh and there’s “talk to Tubby 7 times because you keep forgetting to learn a blueprint or something” and god drat I loving hate that bird. I hate her so much I’ve been contacting CS every day and then when the CS person responds I’ve been rating them as “unhelpful” and “1 star” cause they haven’t fixed the god drat issue.

Boris Galerkin posted:

Then they can bring it up with management when they get chewed out.

Not my problem.

It creates more visibility for the issue which is what I want.

My rationale is complaining about it to CS gets me a canned “I’ve forwarded this to the devs” message which most likely means it’s put in a box somewhere where it won’t be addressed forever. I understand that anything under 4 out of 5 stars is like getting an F and that’s not my problem. I want those CS people to get warned/a talking to about having to improve their numbers. Then they can complain to their management about how the only reason they are getting 1 star is because of the loving BIRD. And if this keeps happening to different CS staff day after day after day then maybe they’ll (the management) will realize that the bird is the loving problem, and push harder to get that loving bird silenced. And if not? Oh well. Not my loving problem. The questionnaire asks if the CS was helpful which I answered truthfully no because they weren’t. And because they weren’t helpful they get 1 star.

At one point, every time you exited one of tubby's menus it'd kick you out of the conversation entirely.

So you'd do the trust rank / redeem, then have to talk to tubby again. Go into the trade menu, and when you exited that if you forgot something you'd have to talk to tubby again. It did get really tedious if you remembered something right when you exited.

If you get the banner character, your next 5* has a 50% chance of being the banner character. If that one is off banner then the 5* after it is guaranteed to be the rate up. So if you got Jing Yuan while pulling for eidolons for no good reason, you would only have a 50% chance at getting Silver Wolf next time.

This means it takes an average of 150-160 pulls to guarantee any given 5*, or ~24000 jade. That's a ton, so I don't really recommend spending it on anything other than banners you want the 5* from.

You gain a guarantee when you pull a 5* on the event banner that is NOT the banner listed 5*. The next time you pull a 5* it will be the banner listed one, and then you lose the gauarantee.

If you don't have a guarantee you have a 50% pulling the banner 5*, and if you do you do not get any kind of guarantee on your next one so it will continue being a coin flip.

It's pretty simple to think about. What was your last 5* on the event banner? Was it the banner character? Then the next one is a coin flip. If it wasn't the banner character, you have a guarantee set up for the next 5* you pull. It's common to get a guarantee and then just sit on it until the banner character you really want comes.

You start with a 50/50 chance of getting a banner 5 star or a standard 5 star. If you get a standard 5 star first your next 5 star is guaranteed to be the banner 5 star. If you get the banner 5 star first your next 5 star will have a 50/50 chance of getting the banner 5 star or a standard 5 star.

It resets whenever you pull the on-banner character.
If your first 5* on the banner is the featured character, you're at a 50/50 for whether the next 5* is on-banner or not.
If your first 5* on the banner is not the featured character, your next is guaranteed to be. Rinse and repeat.

This does carry over between the same type of banner. Character => Character, Weapon => Weapon.

oooh okay I see.

My last 5-star banner pull was during Seele's and I got Bronya out of it... and then during Jing Yuan I did one 10-pull (and got Sushang hell yeah) but have not triggered a 5-star yet.

Meaning I'm guaranteed to get Silver Wolf on her banner if I resume pulling then.

And then after that, my coin flip is reset again for future banners.

yea, exactly.

only other thing to note is that you're guaranteed a 5* at 90 pulls without one, and the 5* rate increases a lot at 75 pulls without one. this also carries across banners. so since you did 10 pulls after getting a 5* you need 80 rolls to guarantee silver wolf and you'll likely get her around 60-70 pulls.

Destruction produces bigger numbers than Hunt, but Hunt's gimmick is being usable more often through multiple means - recharge on kill, being able to stock two uses, most hunt blessings making you take more turns/go faster so you charge the meter more, etc.

Destruction is definitely very good overall, but I find it's kind of an all or nothing path where it's great if you get all the synergies going but it's pretty awful if you get unlucky and are stuck with a smattering of different blessing types.



maybe this is just a skill issue. simply get lucky and get all the correct synergies on your first try.

edit: just realized I got the achievement for staying alive through one of the hands getting its blast off after capturing a character lol. Destruction really makes the team feel way more tanky than i've ever experienced with preservation or abundance.

Yes, that is an example of a run where Destruction kicks rear end because you got all the synergies, as I said.

I know im being a jackass lol. I do tend to do the refresh if I don't see a blessing I want on pretty much every single battle which sometimes ends up just resulting in a really bad run but more often than not it allows me to stack all the blessings I want. I did have one silly run a while ago where I got like 20 The Hunt Blessings and right at the end got the random occurrence that just straight up gives you all the blessings of a random path (was Preservation in my case). There's def a luck aspect to SU for sure but you can gamble it your way if you have the patience.

Indecisive posted:

This is true if they don't roll a third light cone between rolls 172 and 179.

I think the actual balance pity is that you can't go 270 pulls without getting a 5* cone/character. So if you get lucky within 180 rolls anything is fair game in a row because it can ensure that your guaranteed hard pity roll between 180-270 will give you the type of 5* that you are missing.

It's easier to check the balance pity for 4*s. You can't go 30 rolls without pulling a character or cone. So if you get "lucky" and pull three characters or cones in a row within 20 pulls, you know the next 4 star you pull will be the opposite because it can ensure your hard pity roll will fill the missing one. This one is a bit easier to check.

my cosmic shards are always low because i constantly refresh in my SU runs.
especially when I pick my path, and just get nothing of the chosen path in my first 2-3 fights

sushibandit
Feb 12, 2009

The number of times I go 3 fights in a row WITH refreshes and not a single option from my chosen path shows up is starting to become genuinely infuriating. If nothing else it should guarantee 1 option from your chosen path if you spend for a refresh, since doing so has a cost.

What is the loving point of a path if you don't have a notably larger chance to get those bonuses? It's to the point where if I don't have the first path resonance by the first elite mob I just quit out of the run. No point wasting more time since it's likely the end boss will be a wash anyway for lack of buff synergy (and I don't have any max level traces or max level relics, let alone 5* right-set-right-mainstat relics for anyone).

Looking forward to the upcoming relic double-rewards even though it's pitifully limited in scope (3x/day) just like genshin's "overflowing leyline" bonuses.

Hi thread,
There are going to be NO MORE cute implications that people who are playing a game with anime stylings are paedophiles. I can't believe I'm having to post that. Stop saying people who play the game are creepy. Stop making cute jokes about 'the kind of people who enjoy this game'. This is a warning shot. Enough. If you actually think someone's being inappropriate and creepy and weird about underage characters in the game, please either report them or PM one of us about it and it will be looked into. But it's not going to happen as a cutesy joke in here any more.
