Ended up changing my plans and decided to pull for Kazuha. I kept going back to his trial and found him more interesting to play than I had anticipated. I don't have Venti or Jean, and I find Sucrose clunky to play, so I had been hoping to add a versatile anemo character. I also realized that I wasn't really interested in Ayaka or Yoimiya, plus the rumors are pointing to more Liyue character banner reruns after that. This could mean not adding a new character for months .

I was about 50 wishes toward a pity, but was it's a 50/50. I hit pity at about 75 wishes, but lost the 50/50 to Diluc (now C1). Decided to go for it anyway and it mostly worked out as I puiled Kazuha about 50 wishes into the next pity, so no complaints there.

The main drawback, other than losing the 50/50, was that ended up with 5 Bennetts, who I already had at C7, 1 Rosaria (C1), and 1 Razor (C3). I knew there was a risk of getting more Bennetts, but it sucks using 50 wishes and getting what amounts to 5 wishes back. Due to the lack of explorable content, what has kept me playing is getting new characters or weapons, and experimenting with them. It would be a lot more appealing to have pulled some new 4-star weapons, or old 4-star weapons for refinement, or other 4-star constellations, or just about anything else. There's got to be a better way to handle the max constellation situation. It's only going to get more annoying for long time players; I have already have Noelle at C6, plus Chongyun and Barbara at C5.

It's fine, if you decide you like the characters in the future, you can always...

You definitely did the right thing. I wish I'd just pulled on Hu Tao or something, rather than forcing myself to wait for something better, only to end up frustrated with an unwanted character. Doing the same mundane quests can be at least a bit more interesting if you're using a new character, and making progress to enhance them. It's sad that we have to resort to that stuff to keep the game interesting, but it is what it is.

I wish banners would just be over faster. That'd solve some of the issues. I didn't care for the Klee rerun and I don't care about Kazuha. That's six weeks wasted with no reason to wish. I don't really want Ayaka either. Another 3 weeks. This game can go for months without a single interesting character coming up. How is that possible? Even more reruns or standard 5 stars might be worth putting in the rotation to keep things interesting and fresh.

New closed beta is close =)

Ha, well I still have 30 wishes banked thanks to Kazuha's pity coming early. I usually buy the Welkin Moon, so between that and the hopefully a decent amount of primos from the new region, I should be good to pull once the good Inazuma characters start showing up in the future

Besides I have plenty of DPS units, so I'm not too worried about the meta. Kazuha fills a role I don't currently have a character for and I find him fun to play. I've barely started building him up, but I can already see a lot of possibilities.

 

[BlackM1st]

but I can already see a lot of possibilities.

I wish I could unsee his jorts. I wish that his pants were closer to the traditional samurai outfit...

 

[Fuz]

I made some tests with weapons (=I only leveled up one spear and often forget to swap it back between Xiao/Rosaria), and I'm quite surprised how low the weapon level impacts on the damage. I didn't see the drop in damage that I was expecting. Of course it hits for less, but I was expecting to hit like a wet noodle while, in fact, I was hitting like a dry noodle.
Anyway. Seems to me that leveling artifacts has a much bigger impact than leveling weapons.

Little update.


Just did my weekly Dvalin. I almost killed him on his first landing spamming with Xiao on Benny's field. I usually get him about 50-40% on first land.
Then after I got out I noticed Xiao had a lvl 1 Dragonspine Spear equipped. Still confused on weapons' level effective combat value.

I made another 10 wish on the Kazuha banner, was hoping for C5 Rosaria, but only got a bow again.

That is probably a sign to wait for the next banner.

 

[YukiOnna]

Inazuma soon? Stream on the 9th

Well if we can take banner end dates as a sign, it's likely that 2.0 will be on July 20th or around there.

 

[YukiOnna]

Hyped. I don't really know what they'll show this time outside of the banners so I'm excited.

I know I'm part of the problem at least in this GAF thread, but I kinda wish they were a little better about containing their leaks. I feel like I'm always a patch ahead with news and then when they have these special programs I'm just like "yea been there, seen that". Hopefully there's been at least a handful of things that they've kept secret. I've purposely avoided reading leaks that talk about the archon quest or any story bits, so that will at least be fresh/new for me.

Naw I don't think you are. It's hard to ignore them and really easy to find or see given the frequency of which they are posted at and around social media (though the backstabbing drama recently happening is funny). But I agree they should really be better at cracking down on this stuff since it hurts game enjoyment. I hope they have something which the beta, etc doesn't have to surprise viewers like the Inazuma concept art & Yae tease last time.

 

[BlackM1st]

since it hurts game enjoymen

More like it helps to be less frustrated with it, hah. Can't even count how many nerves, wishes and time these leaks are saved for me.

I guess so. For me I don't like it (just like with regular gaming news) and I don't really have much trouble waiting since their schedule is set.

I hate that they give us the big update during summer :<

Well, I mean teens and young adults have more time during school/ college summer vacations. Plus this x-console account saving is a Godsend if you have your vacation away from home.

About time. And will be free codes as usual.

 

[Lupingosei]

Are there any information about the MC and who electro works with him/her.

I wonder if the electro mc could be an electro healer. Would somehow make sense story-wise and there is no electro healer in the game, unlike any other element.

IIRC we had his kit leaked already. Nothing about healing in it though.

Honey Impact info on the Electro traveler. Could change before release.

So an elctro support battery then.

Yep looks to be their most useful iteration yet. Especially since there are a number of artifacts and environmental hazards that drain energy in Inazuma.

They should buff the geo traveler because he sucks.

Playing Kaz in the trial made me realize how much more I would have used Anemo traveler if he had some sort of unique traversal mechanic like the double jump. I feel that in a perfect world, Anemo Traveler would have Kaz's kit, minus the cool sheathe animation because that's pretty 'Inazuma'.

Geo Traveler does what it needs to (mostly for puzzles) with the rocks, but the elemental burst could have been something more exciting than the one we got. I also wish they weren't spherical since it kinda makes using them a pain since they also block your attacks and movement.

I guess is the only char with puzzle mechanics. And the Geo Traveler should create a shield with his elemental burst at least.

I never used and never cared because using for puzzle is boring as fuck.

That is what Zhongli is for. Geo traveler with a shield would be the same.

But I have to admit an electro support does sound interesting with Kazhua, Bennett and Xingqui.

Thanks now I only need some more constellations for her.

One or two Noelle constellations are good. Others not so much.

If you're trying to make her a meme DPS character, C6 is pretty mandatory. Not that it's worth doing anymore since damage characters are a dime a dozen, and her shield/heals are what people use her for now.

Because increase her damage over 'charged attack' I guess? Not a huge fan of the beyblade style.

But she is a great char no doubt.

 

[InterMusketeer]

C6 gives her better scaling from her defense stat, right? That's what makes C6 so powerful.

Matter of opinion dude. Will be hard until you understand that.

edit: Version 1.7 time: https://timee.io/20210709T1200?tl=1.7 Event

 

[Saber]

Don't worry, we all are wrong sometimes.

As a matter of fact, C6 Noelle only improves her Sweeping time DEF scaling(nor affects her skill neither her talent). So if a person does not uses her burst very often, does not need to mind this constelation at all.

Kaboomball shop cleared. In co-op it was damn near unplayable due to lag, so I ended up just soloing most of it.

That was a fun little distraction, but I'm still a little surprised that they had nothing left for the 2nd half of 1.6. I know they're probably hard at work finalizing 2.0 but this is where those double leylines etc would be handy. Is there anything left until the 20th or are we done with this patch already?

*edit*

Just rewatched part of the 1.6 program, it looks like we have something called "Never Ending Battle" where we wander around the islands and fight stuff while we throw balls at targets. Another BS filler event to be sure. You can tell how excited I was about it considering I forgot it was even shown in the video until now.

I usually watch DFFOO's monthly CM streams, and those guys are pretty cool. They're level-headed and they do good, enjoyable streams.

This, however... I can't stand. I can't stand their stupid childish, patronizing way of speaking, I can't stand those idiotic fake laughs, I can't stand that faked excitement.
I find it unwatchable due to vicarious embarassment.

Yeah, is annoying, but the next is a big one.

I feel you. I remember when I was watching this one, I had to pause it and shut the windows so people near me didn't think worse of me. Then I turned it back up and blasted some porn and 80s hair metal later so they knew I was normal. Ok I didn't actually do that but I did turn the volume way down because it was pretty god damn cringy.

Know what I mean Zach AHAHAHAHAHAHAH (hahahahahah) errrrr.... HAHAHAHAHA (teeheehee).

Today's the Genshin crossover for Honkai Impact. I'm curious how Fischl is going to play in that game comparatively. There's no character with a manual aim currently, and she kept it supposedly. I'm more interested in how they're going to handle the story, like if there's actual shared lore between the games or it's just "WHOAH a wacky series of events have left me here in this world with a bucket of KFC and a bone to pick with Wolf boss!"

So, anyone getting luck with prototype farm?

I'll save all I have for the next update.
