I’m really digging this one. I tried Genshin Impact but I couldn’t get into the writing, it was veeery dry. Meanwhile Star Rail just has a lot of really funny little flourishes I keep stumbling on and you can play the nameless one as an absolute weirdo non-stop.   like this reminds me of Portal.

I solved all the other maps on Jarilo and Herta by myself with no guide to find treasures, but ngl the Luofu maps make me sound like the computer from I have no mouth and I must scream, I’m foaming with rage as I hit 300 locked doors.

Ooh, that bit. Yeah that whole thing was… odd. To me it felt like they had these big set piece moments planned, but the connective tissue was missing. You don’t spend enough time with the new characters to really care, it’s spread too thin between the “you should roll this character” previews. 10,000 overworld puzzles and quests where everyone’s only talking about their goals or where they need to go on the map. Immortality bad, this is space China, fetch this, here’s the boss. The blind alchemist lady one was the most bewildering because it’s a bunch of fetch quests, one quest that gives her 3 seconds of characterisation with the blind kid that could actually have led into an exploration of abundance from the perspective of someone with a reason beyond “immortality!!!” and given the conflict any depth at all. Instead it’s “we could have been best friends bye I’m the villain now.” Veeery rushed.

I understand theoretically the Herta store superior options are the fancy LC, but I will never not take silver tickets until I get Clara. My underleveled/unoptimised/don’t even look at my relics Blade, Seele, Bronya and Luocha team already annihilates most of the 76s SU on elation path and I want to swap Bronya for Clara and see how funny “you’ll counter every attack? Oh nooooo (seventeen crit damage numbers pop up)” can get.

Ibblebibble posted:I can confirm that you can use Clara as your only DPS on an Elation run that gets the proper buffs. Girl can casually throw out 500k ult counters when she's built and buffed up. I must shake the banner until Clara falls out. When I want to guarantee a win, and I don’t care about winning round limited occurrences, I go hard into nihility or abundance then afk with auto and come back in 20 minutes. When I want to see Blade take out 40% of the bosses HP in one ultimate counter chain, I do Elation. I can’t wait until I have any actual 80 characters with 80 LC and relics, I spread my exp too thin and now I just have a lot of 60s with bad/no relics.

Maybe dumb but I didn’t spot it in the OP: is there a place for friends codes? I only have a couple because I’m a dumbass who started on a US server when I’m Aussie (did rolls too good to restart and now live a 300+ ping life) and my pals are all Asia, so wouldn’t mind grabbing a better range of 80s to stop refresh spamming.

It automatically swaps when you win the first round. So if there are two enemies in the first map, you have to beat both with team 1. Then it’ll swap to team 2 for the next round.

MoC is definitely end game, I still haven’t gotten that far in (because instead of making a few strong geared up characters, I farmed exp non-stop getting everyone up to 60/70 without doing relics or light cones…)

Having rolled Kafka and done the companion mission, I am even deeper into the opinion that the text messages being gacha-locked is awful. I know, I know, it’s whalebait, but it’s one thing to be getting silly side-texts about the puppy on Herta station from characters the plot already has in the backwindow aannnd another to be getting texts from the Stellaron hunters after the giant lore bomb we just got. Them treating MC as a gaming buddy, asking them what they like now in movies, casually updating them about how they’re going, etc. that hits a lot different now. And obviously these relationships are going to be a major ongoing part of the plot. This sort of character establishing interaction should nooot be gacha locked.

I find the relics/light cone/traces etc. a bit overwhelming even with guides due to just how drat much there is to track. What are the best all-rounder LCs (ones I can shuffle around to suit most characters of that path) I should prioritise levels on? I haven’t got any 80s and most are 1-60, I think it’s sandbagging me a little now I’m in 75+ content, but stamina is so drat precious.

I’m almost to 65, but I really need to hold off on raising my world level I think. I have no fully raised and equipped with relic characters (I don’t mean good relics, I mean any relics, they’re naked) and most are sub 70, and I’m reading the event difficulty spike could be a real issue if I don’t have at least one good team. On the other hand, better drops?

Alrighty then, I trust you guys over the random redditors saying they couldn’t complete events after because they needed more 80s. I’ll just work on getting Kafka and Luka rolling so I have a strong nihility path team to try the higher SU next week.

I have good gacha luck so I got lots of stuff to level, so I spent all my stamina on exp + money, then some traces + money, then I tried leveling all my LC up so that was exp + more money, and I like SU so I was spending all my scraps of remaining stamina in there and those 3/3 war nodes that took the rest.  now I’m broke, body relic-less and stalled until I gear them up and finish a few off.E; to clarify I mean I had a main party like the trailblazer in random purples from chests with no regards to stars, not everyone was completely naked. Just. Most.

big cummers ONLY posted:I think a quick power boost for you would be 2-4 days or so farming for mainstat pieces for your main team, and maxing their levels. They don't have to be perfect. You can use broken sets and stuff. Just getting the right mainstat in each slot and taking it to like, +9 will be a massive strength increase for you. If you hit 65 while doing that, I'd just do the EQ thing and use supports to keep farming - provided that you think you can do enough runs to kit everyone out before the event ends.  Can do. Luocha does all my healing so I’ll start there and see you in a few weeks

Having Blade’s fun because all the hunters keep borrowing his phone to text you. And if you run into him in the overworld you can try to Bladie him. But Kafka is definitely the standout with the companion quest choices for this patch. Honestly, it feels like the hunters have gotten more love than the Luofu cast. Lightning lord who?

If we are wrapping up Luofu, talk about a speedrun plot-wise. But the new QoL looks great. SU stuff looks interesting but a bit complex, I’m sure it’ll make more sense in-game after taking it for a test drive. Quantum stays winning.

Kale posted:Oh so that's the reason of behind the one fanart I saw of her glaring down at Blade like a pyschopath with him having blood pouring out of his mouth and a dead eyed stare. Thought it was just an edgy fanartist. Yeah I hadn’t checked the lore, rolled him, checked his character story on ascends and went  That fanart is just a scene from his level 20 info. The most interesting part of Honkai right now for me is the hunters, especially since the dang heng stuff is 80% fleshed out in the data bank and we don’t have that much on the rest of the Astral Express yet (I never played impact). The only thing I really don’t want is the theorising Sam = Sampo in armour. It would be a massive downgrade for me and I won’t pull if that’s the case, I don’t like Sampo at all. For the survey I put in that I thought text messages (or at least Kafka’s) should be at least partially separated from rolling them. It will do nothing, of course, but hope springs eternal.

I’m just not interested in getting a character I already have when he’s not significantly different story or personality wise. His animations and all that are great, but sticking a new kit and horns on Dan Heng doesn’t change that he’s the exact same character a couple of hours past the launch content. He feels like a path toggle upgrade that should have come free with the story.

Meowywitch posted:The incidental humour/funny dialogue in this game remains genuinely funny, so I'm glad Honestly I’d be happy if they didn’t do weird splits in the main story - I refuse to believe the current patch MSQ wasn’t meant to be in the last one, it’s just such an awkwardly janky separation and doesn’t have a single bit of combat - and instead alternated main story patches with more overworld sidequests and poo poo like the museum. Most of my favourite moments actually come from running around the overworld and bumping into weird little hidden things - the immortal vase, the belobog alleyway, the herta meeting room, etc. - and doing sidequests like the mushroom poet. It… seems to have a lot more heart put into the writing? To me, at least, the main story is often generic and screams “roll this cool character”, but the trashcan dramatic fiction fantasies? That’s a team trying to write a fun sci-fi rpg, not hardsell a png.
