I wish there was a better system for recrafting, but I am glad you don't have to farm the elemental sets anymore. yep. i dropped in a little more than you and got a decent atk sands for my current main heizou, one dendro goblet that rolled once into crit damage and elemental mastery and another dendro goblet with no usable stats unless a dendro kokomi comes out i don’t know what else i expected

Yoimiya is running opposite of Nahida on the next banner. Maybe someday I'll be able to get her when she isn't running directly opposite or right before an archon banner, it's like Mihoyo doesn't want people to have her.

I’d rather have a bad constellation that’ll get me on the way to C6 for a character I like than having a new 5* that’s guaranteed to be benched at lv 60.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I like some of them (having only just started playing like a month ago, so I'm still working through the backlog) but it's very hit or miss. Kokomi's and Xianling's were hilarious (and do a good job of establishing why you're there) and Raiden Shogun's was relevant to the main plot but on the other hand you also have a bunch that are basically "spend 20 minutes running back and forth between waypoints and then watch a cinematic about hanging out with some random character you barely know." good character quests are extremely few and far between imo itto’s was pretty cute, mainly because i’m just a sucker for max mittelman and that the english dub just leans into itto’s character being extremely anachronistic with no explanation. i can’t remember if venti’s was actually “should you be trapped in a windless land” but that was very good if it was. storylines centered around albedo are always the best, for some reason. i think the only good female character quest was… shenhe’s probably. hoyo really developed a big thing for making women who should be extremely interesting very boring after ningguang and beidou. Boogle posted:Never do the hangouts unless you're hard up for primogems, they're very hit-or-miss.

That Xiao-centric interlude for example had some nice, poignant stuff in there and one or two interesting concepts that would've hit harder without all the chaff around it... the fact that you never really have to pay attention to anything that happens in this game outside of archon/event quests is certainly something else i’ll never forgive them for removing the ability to skip-spam text, especially right around the time people started complaining more about the writing being terrible. it felt so deliberate

There's a point where you sense you're 50% of the way through a boring quest and that ain't changing anytime soon and it's just wading through molasses after that. what’s extra frustrating is that they’re fully capable of writing good slice of life style scenarios. heizou talks fraud was fantastic, if not a little hard-carried by one character

I have no idea how anyone actually kits a character with a full set of them. i’m a launch player too, and i have very specific memories of getting them far more often before inazuma dropped. drat near every pale flame artifact i ever got was either a 4 line start and/or 10/20 piece, which is why my c0 eula shits all over every other 5* i have and like more, and i’ve got all of them but the three hyper-niche ones the sumeru domain is super duper EXTRA cursed. i’ve been farming/refilling since i opened it and i have… exactly one 10/20 deepwood feather and sets that average high-20 cv max for each speaking of, if you don’t have at least a couple of cracked artifacts, i don’t really recommend rolling for nahida’s weapon. my r5 widsith did better for my cyno/em raiden team for reasons i don’t know but a TCer could probably explain

I cannot think of any two-faced or double-life anemo wielder besides Venti. jean has a secret family. why it’s a secret is still beyond me sucrose’s thing is being kind of a morbid, off-putting sort of person behind closed doors, whereas xiao is the flip of that kazuha’s some ex-rich kid whose family business failed so he’s just slumming it with the traveler and being that guy who acts enlightened from being voluntarily homeless scaramouche is obvious. heizou and sayu are just normal rear end people, so it makes the theory inconsistent xiao also plays into the free-spirit deal too though, considering his past with his old master and his relationship with morax/interaction with venti, opening up with time, etc the anemo vision has more to do with growth probably, which makes it funny as a dunk on sayu

Zenostein posted:Sure, obviously normal people don't do this. On the other hand, nobody wants to compare characters with a mile-long list of caveats about specific teams and artifacts and weapons and all that. Also Eula's a better dancer, which is far more important than silly things like "damage" or "being able to hit anything with your burst." my thing with my eula performing better than childe has a lot to do with ease of access to dps too. my pale flame set is really subpar, save the circlet, but it and sobp gives me 10k normals and 100k+ burst with no actual setup involved. i used to play her essentially solo all the time before she got benched you kind of have to grind for a build AND do a proper rotation to get to childe’s dps ceiling. wanderer’s the same but i mr beaned my way into 74%/230% for him. my childe’s artifacts are admittedly miserable and him being stuck with hod doesn’t help much. wonder if fontaine’ll be kind when the new hydro set inevitably comes out
