haypliss posted:To be clear I don't think some Honkai posting about playing it or the game mechanics or story is like a crime against this thread, and I do just scroll past it. ZZZ and SR can take this immunity too. I know there was some recent stuff showing off like a new HI trio character that seemed fine despite getting pulled into this drama by the end. It's just taking the already tiresome drama posting that happens about Genshin and also applying it to a game that isn't even the main thread topic is like a second order of magnitude to bad posting. I will kill for the lady in deep green. Please don't make me wait til 4.5 like I have to for Dehya.

Honkai talk is good, but my only interactions with the fandom besides guides and the occasional crossover lore video somehow wound up being this thread and a bunch of lesbians on Tumblr. Clearly the best way, especially with people like Kale posting batshit lore and the like. But fandom drama in general weirds me out a bit. --edit Playable Cyrus when?

Cryus is gonna end up being be pencil thin and you know it. I want big burly dudes and actual anthropomorphic characters like Von Lycan and Ben (the bear). I'd also like to wish for some of the generic npcs, like Smiley Yanxiao.

Regarding the Honkai Leaks Clearly the one holding the apple is just about finished since it's the only one that looks like a splash art in a full pose as opposed to a T-Posing beta character modelCaptain France posted:Honkai talk is good, but my only interactions with the fandom besides guides and the occasional crossover lore video somehow wound up being this thread and a bunch of lesbians on Tumblr. Usually I'm just trying to get some insight into what the gently caress it's even about half the time and if it's anything I should you know.....consider at length or just people making noise because they can. I don't want to import needless drama, but I also don't want to totally disregard something that there might be something more legitimate too that I'm maybe just not entirely comprehending or that I'm missing the point possibly because people are explaining/discussing it very poorly outside the goon centers. If it is indeed needless drama than to hell with it. Honkai unfortunately doesn't release simultaneously across regions so whatever is happening is likely a couple months away from even mattering in Honkai Global anyway.

It would be kinda fun if they put in something that let you send characters a birthday gift, Box O Marvels style. You hear it's Klee's birthday, you catch a neat fish and you give it to Lieben to box up for you. Then she sends you a note in the mail about how that fish-box exploded REAL nice.

I don't think those games are popular enough to be able to support a thread, but I dont think this is the place for stuff like fandom drama.

Its pretty wild they've seemingly leaked like, a years worth of new Genshin characters recently. Some of these must be a year out from release and I wonder how many of them still resemble these designs when they're finally released.

Mihoyo also stated somewhere that they'll release 17 characters a year. While Dehya, Al Haithem, Mika will count for this year, not everyone from that list will release this year.

I want a bike gadget. I don't think it's likely because special sprints and mobility talents help sell characters. If fontaine is all techy then I want to see people pedal around. Diving might also be fun but water levels are usually a big departure from gameplay so maybe not.

YaoYao is the very last of 8 characters that were datamined essentially when the game first launched to now be about to get a release so it feels almost fitting that theres a new dozen or so characters to restart the cycle at this precise moment in time. quote:Hu Tao (funeral parlor boss who doesn't get along with Qiqi).

17 characters a year feels like too much but I understand the appeal of getting a character banner who is just the right combo of characteristics. Is there a way to turn off or down character chatter? Sayu does not shut up and I find that type of anime voice very grating. Paimon gets a pass because she's a lovable idiot.

# ? Jan 10, 2023 02:39 |

the only way is to turn off character voices completely in audio settings but that'd also remove the voice acting in cutscenes you can also switch to jp voice acting (or chinese or whatever) because that stuff tends to grate less if you dont recognize the words being said

I do appreciate that having a smaller number of characters helps us get ones that are relatively fleshed out. Even with a cast that is relatively constrained compared to other gacha, there's loads of chars that have only really appeared in a quest or two. I also appreciate that Mihoyo is not rushing Genshin content too hard. It's pretty cool that the Genshin income is helping them to fund development of a bunch of other projects instead.

Double Sayu on a 10 pull too complete that constellation. I could still use 3 Rosaria's and if I get a Sara it's C6 and she's probably not coming back till the next Raiden banner so definitely going to go for a few more pulls yet at 43 pity accumulation. This banners actually one of the better rerun banners for me in a while in terms of characters I could really use constellations for and if I trigger pity and get the banner character constellation it's probably still worth it.

3.4 is going to be such a strange patch for me. i’ve got 50 fates, a 50/50 and zero need for another middling hypercarry that i don’t have good artifacts for despite farming since the domain dropped. but i do have many uses for staff of homa and definitely wouldn’t mind an aqua dupe… also baizhu. maybe dehya but probably not. it just feels so weird to skip al haitham. also feels like a real bag fumble on hoyo’s part to not release kaveh with him, people probably would have pulled just for the jokes alone despite al haitham’s kit. only thing i could hope for is that he pulls a kokomi somewhere down the line, but a lot of folks hoped that for cyno too once nahida was out and here we cyno apologists are, just surviving on vibes

Idk what you mean his best comps will have above average performance, same as Cyno. Hyperbloom is so far above the curve that you'd have to obsolete dozens of other comps before HP pools get to the point where Cyno or Haitham start to sweat.

# ? Jan 10, 2023 16:21 |

I don't get the Cyno hate/disappointment. Yeah his burst is awkwardly long and he really needs some kind of shield to prevent interruptions, but he's a much easier hypercarry to play than Xiao and he's got good elemental reactions unlike Itto. Is it because he's not Hu Tao levels of broken?

I think it makes sense that people have higher expectations for carries / main DPS than they do for other roles; they're going to require more mechanical investment, more time on screen, and more changes to team composition around them than a swap character. It's not an expectation that can actually be fulfilled without causing power creep issues, but I get it.
