Finally got to sit down and play the game for a bit; don't really care for playing on a tablet, but I'm tired of waiting for news on when the Playstation port is going to drop. Verdict: it's good.

Okay, I'm getting further into the game, and now I'm definitely seeing why people like the writing so much more in this than Genshin. Just digging through trash cans in Belobog alone was great, and there really seems to be a thread of "oh, the MC might actually have some issues" as you interact with unimportant objects just because you can

Given how the story quests vs events stuff bugs out in Genshin now, I'm picturing how bad it would be if you could have events clashing with eachother...

That's a very fair point.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed it's apparently not coming to PS4 anymore, but my laptop is running HSR well enough so I'll manage. Maybe by the time it drops I'll finally have a PS5 to play it on.

Since they extended the museum event, should I just wait to start it after they patch it in 1.2? I finally got back around to playing the main questline and to where I could start it, but I just noticed that it's been extended for another 40-odd days

Yanqing is a very good unit, especially in the current MoC, where single target is highly desired and there are a lot of ice-weak units so he doesn't have to contend with the 20% res. He's also very easy to get high crit rates and so can stack lots of crit damage instead.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't mind him as an unit.

I just pulled him on the Silver Wolf banner so I'm disappointed. Got my hopes up for a few seconds just to have them dashed.

Yeah, that's an improvement from Genshin: being able to just mulch crap tier relics to exp juice. Genshin also had a 5* recycle system, but if you start bumping up on the artifact inventory limit, you have to start trashing relics or dump them into another artifact, which feels Real Bad if you don't have a halfway decent one for that purpose.

Speaking of which, are item caps the same as they are in Genshin? I'm not going to bumping up against them anytime soon in HSR but in Genshin I'm constantly bumping against them and it's pretty annoying

I'm really disappointed in the frequency of story content and I think I'm done with this. I really don't enjoy team/character building anymore and what I enjoy is presented to me in crumbs.

Something I learned with Genshin was that you need to spread out quests in Hoyo games. Your ability to play through content will always outpace their ability to produce it. I'm slowly working through Space China quests now and am nowhere close to the 1.2 content yet. Hell, I finally started the museum event last night.

But, taking a break and coming back once there's some content built up isn't a bad idea either. If you're not enjoying the grind then there's no sense in making yourself play.

Endorph posted:

forcing people to log in every day activates FOMO and gets them more stuck to the game. That said Genshin is to the point where it feels like it burns people out more than gets them stuck at this point.

Yeah, all I'm doing rn in Genshin is logging in to do my daily commissions, maybe a little TCG, and that's it. Haven't even started the summer event yet. It's not fair to Genshin to compare it to HSR (different genres, Genshin's years old now, etc), but some of the QoL improvements in HSR make doing some things in Genshin a lot more tedious now

Dracula Factory posted:

I'm glad I picked the female MC, her voice is so outside the normal JRPG fare,and I quite like it. Along with the sarcastic rear end texts and dialogue, she feels like an actual character instead of the blank slate you normally get with the genre.

Yeah, same, especially when compared to the Traveler in Genshin.

One thing I like about the Trailblazer's dialogue options is that whenever you introduce yourself to a NPC female personal assistant or desk worker (at least in the museum event and in space China), one of your options is always "You're pretty," which I've chosen every time because I like the idea of the Trailblazer just blurting it out whenever they meet an attractive woman in an awkward attempt at flirting

Playing male MC definitely gave me a different read on those dialogue options than the rest of you though lol - I was constantly wondering "drat, why am I getting all these options to be a creep?" I did appreciate getting to frustrate March by talking about Jing Yuan being dreamy or whatever though.

lol those are valid reads on the options, too. It probably depends on how you imagine the MC to be in your mind; after discovering how much of a trash panda the Trailblazer is on Belobog (including all the mentions of March and Dan Heng having to watch you lovingly engage with stinky trash), I find it hard to play them as anyone but an awkward weirdo who just blurts out odd statements whenever possible, so that's usually how I read the dialogue choices

Gotta say, I've been fairly conservative with my rolls in HSR compared to how I was with Genshin at this point, so I'm pretty surprised getting her was that cheap.

still unsure on if I'll pick Clara or Bailu

I was very unimpressed with Bailu when I first pulled her, but she ended up saving my rear end multiple times in SU runs. If you haven't decided or pulled either by the time you hit 300 I'd go with her just because of how useful she is.

That said, I don't have Clara and I've only really used her whenever she's available as a trial character, but I want her just so I can have Svarog on my team

I ended up spending some resources to pull Daniel just because I liked his demo and wanted an Imaginary character that could deal some damage, but of course the resources I need to upgrade him are locked behind the main quest (which I've been doing slowly because of how little new story has been added and haven't seen the need to rush anymore) lol. I might go for Topaz once I build some jade back up just because I like the idea of having a treasure tracker, but if I can't get her oh well
