Kale posted:Also I love that with Collei they've got this whole sickly girl story with her built up since the manga and all the poo poo that's happened to her since of the kind that tends to really resonate with the anime otaku crowd, made her super cutesy and quirky albeit troubled in her character interactions such that it hits all the right notes and then just made her the entry level 4 star for the region and are just giving a C0 of her away with the event. Another notch in how this game is strangely unoptimized for potential revenue despite how much it still pulls in anyway. The biggest one to me though is still the general lack of costumes. Like somebody suggested once, throw Zhongli in a tux, or something or IMO have a Raiden Shogun summer theme costume, but either they don't want to take that path with the game or want to hold on to cards like that for a potential future event.

I've had some freakishly good luck with my blue wishes over the past few days, including my very first 5-star character and weapon: Qiqi and a Skyward Atlas. A Cryo healer turns out to be a great addition to my team, so I've already started developing Qiqi, but I don't really know what to do with the Atlas. The only catalyst-liker I've been using is Barbara, who it doesn't seem suited for. Apart from her, I have Lisa, Sucrose and Heizou. Are any of them worth taking a second look at now?

Endorph posted:if you want to use an anemo character as your main dps heizou will wildly outshine anemo traveler, even against things her burst works on. the only thing hed have issue is is with anything anemo immune but thats basically just anemo slimes and spectres I'll definitely level Heizou up and have a play around, but I'm not sure I have the support to build a full team around him. I think the best I can manage would be... Heizou, Fischl, Shinobu, Barbara? Barbara is still my only Hydro character, and it doesn't sound like her skill has enough uptime for the plan you're describing.

Endorph posted:fischl and shinobu are really good supports for him but ideally you'd want Xingqiu for the hydro slot, yeah. Honestly, XQ will be in the starglitter exchange shop next month, if you have any desire to roll for anything in the next few banners i'd save up and purchase him, he's an extremely good unit.

I'm definitely into Heizou, but Jesus, even with the interactive map up on my other monitor, collecting these beetles is a massive ballache. It's ridiculous that you need just as many of them as Xiangling's chilies, which grow in sets of three all over the place.

After briefly getting to play with her in her Story Quest, the Almighty Shogun is firmly #1 on my list of 5-stars to look out for. I'll wait for eternity if I have to.

The next step of the teapot adventure guide thing wants me to buy something from the Travelling Salesman in another player's teapot. Is there some way to do that by ducking into any old rando's world, or will I have to faff around adding people to my friends list and waiting for the Salesman to show up in one of them?

I have enough primos to force the 50-50 on Zhongli, but my instinct is telling me to let it go and keep saving until I have a better understanding of who else I might want and why. Especially since the all the one-time primo rewards from quests and statues and whatever else will presumably start drying up eventually?

Well it took 80 rolls, and I lost the flip and wound up with a constellation for Qiqi, of all things. But it was a fluke to unlock her so early in the first place, and I got three constellations for Fischl along the way, so I can't be too salty. This gives me enough glitter to buy Xingqiu the moment he rotates in, too. Now I guess I just hope for Kazuha or the Shogun or someone to show up before too long so I can cash in my guarantee, then.

One thing that's not obvious to me from the explanation on the wiki: if a buff like Shinobu's ring or a summon like Oz triggers an elemental reaction while the original caster is off the field, whose Elemental Mastery does it scale with? The active character, or the original caster?

Okay. That's what I assumed, but I hadn't seen it explicitly stated anywhere. I noticed that Qiqi's amulets never seem to heal anyone but the active character, which made me wonder if I was misunderstanding how the "source" of an attack is decided. But I guess what's going on there is just that that particular effect doesn't work while the attacker is off the field.

I just mean the single-target heal from from the talismans from her burst and A4, yeah. It doesn't trigger from damage dealt by buffs and summons unless their caster is currently on the field.

I didn't know Shiny Colours was structured like a roguelike. That's hilarious. Seems like a good choice, though. When I played Idolmaster 2 I only did one run and I remember it being, like, "full Europa Universalis campaign"-level long. Though I guess being in a language I could barely read will have slowed things down.

Harrow posted:Yeah people usually bring up Albedo as a character who'd make sense on the standard banner, but he can't be since he was introduced as event-exclusive. I do wonder if they'll ever make a new non-exclusive Geo character for the standard banner or just leave that gap there. I guess there's nothing to stop them inventing a new class of "event" banner that lasts for 364 days out of every year... FractalSandwich fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Sep 7, 2022 |

Incoherence posted:The fine print just says they won't be including the event 5*s (minus Tighnari, and Keqing awhile ago) in Wanderlust Invocation, which probably means they can make a Standard Banner 2 at some point (or a Mondstadt/Liyue permanent banner or something).

I mean, I really don't think it's likely that making more products available more of the time would result in less revenue. I can't imagine players get duped that badly by the time limit on event banners. But maybe I'm giving them too much credit. Anyway, I don't even think the current model is actually broken. I just think it's silly to say things that limit what you can do in the future, is all. FractalSandwich fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Sep 7, 2022 |

Endorph posted:theres successful gacha games that only rarely have limited characters, like arknights or blue archive, and theres successful gacha games that more frequently add characters to the standard pool, like fgo, but genshin's chosen this path and they kind of have to commit to it. its more about audience expectation than anything. tighnari's banner has made less money than a lot of other banners, even with zhongli running alongside him. that pretty much proves that 'will be eventually added to the standard banner' limits the money they make. and dumping it on players as a surprise would make people feel duped. not to mention there's some charcaters who are too 'high value' to ever really be added to that kind of pool, like the archons.

Harrow posted:An important thing to remember is that making characters permanent might actually decrease their availability to the average player. To use Raiden as an example again, sure, she's not always available, but when she is, you can guarantee that you get her as long as you've saved up enough primogems ahead of time. But there's no way to guarantee yourself Diluc, Keqing, Jean, Mona, or Qiqi (haha just kidding we're all guaranteed Qiqi eventually). You can add Tighnari to that list starting in 3.1, too.

Last chance saloon for the Zhongster tonight. If I were willing to commit all my primos, I'd have a pretty good (80%+) chance of grabbing him after I lost the 50-50 earlier. But I think I have to sandbag everything in case of Raiden/Ayaka reruns in in the nearish future, because they're #1 and #3 on the list of characters I'm most looking out for.
