They could correct the translation error or they chould embrace the error and have Pela stuck in a time loop or even better make her a Herrscher of doujin and rock

I really enjoy how on a couple of them you can choose responses that either imply or state that you don't believe in divination and she gets really catty every time.

I mean, the criminal mastermind behind the most notorious gang in the Underworld is Hook, and she's like 8. You've gotta grow up early in Belobog.

I mean, the lady runs a giant probability modeler that doubles as a seance machine for dead people's uploaded memories, that's just straight scientific computer work right there, can't really deny that.

now if she means the horoscopes she reads when she gets up in the morning, yeah, no sweat tweaking her on that

Swarm SU was supposed to be dropping with Fu Xuan, and once people realized how short the MSQ was this patch they started complaining about how light on content things were. In response, Hoyo moved Swarm up to very early in the patch to give people more to do.

Probably the right call, but unfortunately it just moves the content-light part of the patch from the first half to the second half. That said, I'm nowhere close to being through Swarm and I still enjoy it, so it'll tide me over for another couple weeks.

No I think its the right call too. There's nothing wrong with having a easy no stress event after a extremely heavy content update.

Although it's going to suck for those who only log in once a day or only on the weekend, they won't be able to complete everything (im sure that's the intent, to get everyone logging in more often)

The event lasts for two weeks, and it looks like there's only six sets of assignments. You'll have a bad time if you try to rush it all at the very end, but there's plenty of slack built in there.

Livestream set for Friday. Chapter being titled Jolted Awake from A Winter Dream could either be a hint towards a Jarilo-VI centric patch with Topaz showing up there in the TGS trailer to collect the 700 year debt or could potentially be a reference to Jingliu's sudden reappearance and being Cryo element, or more likely both.

Genshin has 10 million words of text after being out for 3 years. It's kind of one of the companies things. Even Honkai Impact 3 side stories are like 3 hours long average.

There's also a March 7th skin that's been in the leaks for a while now, March's presence on the teaser image could imply we're getting it finally.

What is it that determines the “team is underpowered” message? I’ll get it in the weekly 3/3 boss fights even when I bring in a team of lvl 80s with 80 LC and pretty handily beat it, but the message is always there.

I'd usually be echoing your gripes but I really don't think it's that bad this time around? We only talk to one person, don't have to travel anywhere and it's a one-time thing just for flavor.

It's not that bad, but it's a little annoying that there is some of it every time. It's really a bummer that you can't just skip convos if you don't care about the story. I love alt accounts in gachas, but I gave up 3/4 through Belobog. Starting fresh and playing the game was fun, but clicking through literal hours of boring-rear end unskippable dialogue and lovely animations had me dropping the project fast.

Not being able to skip story in a game like this only makes sense if you're rhe kind of person who cares about a metric like "average time each player is logged in per session"

This was a fun run, started with the "double fragments but no blessings" curio, then picked up pretty much all the other fragment bonus curios. I think my IOU popped for like 3000.

I know percentage-based damage buffs stack additively, but is that true even for conditional bonuses with different conditions? If your skill would deal 1,000 damage, and you have Rutilant Arena (+20% skill damage), the buff from Bronya's skill (+66% to all damage) and 40% bonus damage for your element, does it deal 1,000 * (1 + 0.2 + 0.66 + 0.4) = 2,260 damage, or 1,000 * 1.2 * 1.66 * 1.4 = 2,788 damage?

Clarste

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
In Genshin at least, all percentage bonuses, even ones with different conditions, stacked additively. I assume it's the same here.

Edit: Except crit damage.

Edit2: I believe if you look at your stat screen while buffed, a generic damage buff is even technically considered a buff to each element separately:

All damage buffs are additive percents.

Defense, Resistance Penetration, Damage Taken and Toughness are all their own multipliers.

Character ATK and LC ATK are "base ATK" for the purpose of being multiplied by ATK %. Flat ATK from relics and buffs is added after multiplication.

The ultimate reason why flat stats are just pure distilled hatred. If they got % buffs they might at least have some purpose. But no....

Well that's good to know.

Even though you can't see it on the stat screen, I was also able to confirm that Ruti works the same way by using Fu Xuan's aura to buff someone over the crit rate threshold without changing their other stats and comparing the damage directly.

I'm pretty sure March 7th "boosted" form (like DHIL) is going to be Quantum based. Since "quantum locked" feels like the next step past freezing people in place as far as debuffs go? Also just the way her past is presented as a total flux that she shouldn't think about too hard feels sort of Quantum observation themed.
