I think this list is up to date, so redeem your 1.1 codes before they expire. 150 jade and 30,000 credits, plus some other stuff.

Oh, I see the website says “code redeemed” regardless of whether the current action redeemed it. I got an in-game mail saying it was already redeemed.

Sorry!

I do ten-cent google surveys all the time. I'm a little survey piggy. It's just funny that they're only giving users 30k in-game currency for free market research. They know gamers are broken and will frame this as "making my voice heard" instead of "providing data so they can extract my money as efficiently as possible"

100k would still only equate to 42 energy or so, less than one fuel (without trailblazer xp) but at least it's six digits so the average player could feel flush with the generosity of Game

So don’t fill it out?

Got Gepard from the standard banner today and Yukong + Pela + 2 QQ last week from the limited banner so I think I'll call that good til Kafka instead of trying to get a second healer more. Yukong should be pretty nice to have around tho I think I'll be leveling Tingyun the rest of the way too to go with Kafka/Serval/SW. QQ rules the more upgrades and gear I get for her and I haven't run into any issues with the RNG aspect of her much at all.

My Serval almost complete.

Fills kind of lame trying to level MC traces, cause it’s like well if your not dead set on the tutorial or 1st chapter form, your gonna have to level the MC traces 3-4x times. I would rather have MC trace values be 2x as expensive, but it be universal across all forms. Or like +1 already filled in for each form unlocked

Don’t you get most of their upgrade mats for free though?

you get the key MC ascension mats for free and you only have to do that once. traces are per path, so if you want to use both preservation and destruction you get to level both. plus the other paths when they are inevitably added.

For ascension mat, you get some, like the one unique mat, but the traces is full cost like any other regular character

I understand how you could misconstrue my post as "I'm mad I have to do this," but that isn't what I said or implied. Just that 30k is a pittance, and it's funny to me. I even explicitly said I do surveys for pennies all the time.

It's pretty much foreshadowing that the next path for the MC is the Hunt, but it'll be funny if they threw in a twist and gave us an Abundance MC

it would own so much if they dared to do it AND make it conditional on whether you took the pill or not

but they won't do any of that and we'll get something like a Quantum Hunt Mini-Seele by default or whatever

That... doesn't make any sense? You only have to level the Trailblazer once. You have to do traces for every different version.

What I mean is they’re not going to release a 7 path character you only have to level like a single character. If it wasn’t traces it’d be something else

It's extremely funny to me that Quinque's E4 gives her a follow up attack and even that is RNG. They couldn't even make it a flat 1 in 4 either. :D

A Wind Abundance right after Luocha's banner would be loving hilarious.

I don't even use the MC anymore. I never really liked Fireblazer and Sushang does Slugger's job better. They would have to make the Hunt path extremely good for me to consider investing in it, and I doubt they would go for Quantum.

Ironically the most interesting element that a huntblazer could be is fire and that’s taken

If it's Imaginary I could skip Dragon Dan and go for both Fu Xuan and Lynx. Assuming they're on the same banner.

Edit: Actually, what element do we think the Huntblazer will be? It would probably have to be Fire, Electric or Imaginary just to remain distinct from what's already available, but Fire is already used for Preservation and Imaginary Hunt seems kind of dumb with Imbibitor Lunae being announced. Electric seems a safe bet then?

IL is Imaginary Destruction, so Imaginary Hunt is not actually taken

Electric Hunt is currently planned for an upcoming character (Raiden Mei), so are Ice and Fire

Plot twist : it's going to be Physical Abundance and we bonk our allies to health using the bat again as a 5-star Natasha

Wounds.. are meant to be mended!

My point is that making the MC Imaginary after releasing 2 new Imaginary characters doesn't seem like a good idea, especially if they're trying to hype people up for Dan. Why pull for him if Huntblazer can do a similar job?

Though I guess the same could be said for many characters.

There’s only so many element and role combinations, you’re going to be stepping on toes especially since phys and fire are already taken for the MC. Doubly so because they’ve sort of had to shore up quantum/imaginary with banner characters given how few there were at launch.

Just make them lightning hunt, lightning is cool.

Imaginary Hunt is definitely ideal, Yukong is too weird to just casually include for breaks and I'm not rolling any of the other characters. Quantum would be nice in a similar way, don't have or want to use existing options.

I don't think that's true, Nihility already has a large range of stuff to do, same with Luocha despite being abundance. And Fu Xuan's kit is basically nothing like the current preservation units.

Turn based mobages games having different kits while being unique hasn't stopped the last 20 years, it shouldn't stop HSR.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t implying every element/role combo was going to play precisely the same. Just that there’s inevitably going to be overlap in them because that’s how the game is set up.

Hell the game launched with two physical destruction and ice preservation, they just play wildly differently. There’s plenty of room for unique and fun kits that share the same element.
