M Mayar Well, I did make this Zani wink gif from the new exploration quest they've added, so... :p

I tried a bit of this. Some of the gameplay videos looked interesting. However, turns out it's another one of these games whose story is completely incomprehensible word vomit. Combat seems based around character switching again (on dpad... so gross/clunky). Idk. I don't get these games. I did a few pulls with the free currency. Got a five star... some little kid. I don't know what I was expecting.

This is absolutely normal, Gatcha games are not for everyone, usually you need experience in similar games or a passion for them.

I don't quite agree about the battle, in terms of control and responsiveness this is one of the best games in this genre. And even though the battle is based on changing characters, this is not entirely true. Changing characters is just one of the mechanics, the main basis of the combat system is understanding the rotations on characters, which greatly affects the damage, which can then be increased by changing characters even more. In this game there are quite a lot of very complex and advanced mechanics, which are usually found either in Fighting games or in DMC games. As examples - the player can interrupt attack animations to increase damage, use quick character swap to interrupt skill animations or ultimates to continue rotation, use dash cancel to interrupt character jumps or long attacks, or landing cancel to cancel the animation of the character landing on the ground after an air strike, etc. The beauty of this game is that you can play this game casually, but if you want more and study the mechanics and characters, it will give you much more. This game encourages the player for knowledge and skill, which, frankly speaking, is a rare occurrence in Gatcha games.

It will be funny if she turns out to be 16-17 years old. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I just checked, and she's described as a 'young woman' on the WuWa wiki. If I had to guess, she's probably in her early 20s. By the way, I don't think Kuro would add an underage character who shows her panties in the overwhelming majority of the time when she fights or simply runs, lol.

Other than the obvious kid characters, Jinhsi is the only one that could possibly be under 18. She was appointed magistrate between 15-16 and less than 3 years have passed.

There's too much speculation on this topic, plus some phrases changed when translating from Chinese to English. But technically her age is unknown, for reasons shown in the story (i won't spoil it, but roughly speaking she was taken from one institution). For some reason they don't really like to write the age of the characters. The only thing, if I remember... is that the height of her model is between the Child model and the Adult, she is shorter than all the adult girls but taller than Encor and Verina who are 10-12, that is, if we proceed purely from the height, she is most likely a teenager 16-18 years old, since adult models and characters have a spread of about 19-25. But all this is not exact and pure guesswork, nothing more.

Idk, but short women do exist even in the WuWa universe. Anyway, in the main story she's described as a young woman when you first get introduced to her. There's really not much else to add here.

I look at it from the point of view of a Gatcha game, they won't go into such detail. They have a model for female child characters, they also have one for adults. If they wanted to make her a child they would have made her using the child model, if they wanted to make her an adult girl they would have used the adult model (It just saves a lot of time and money). But apparently it was really important for them to show her height and that she is different from other female characters, so it seems to me that they just wanted to show that she is a teenager, but these are purely my thoughts nothing more. It's a Gatcha game, I wouldn't dig that deep, if it is possible to save the budget it will be saved.

It's about the same as with ray tracing, I decided to go to the PC to have a look, to be honest, it's a very lazy and simple implementation. Although it's clear that it's just an Nvidia advertising campaign and nothing more, but it seems to me that they just went to the Unreal Editor and checked the box for Automatic Hardware Ray Tracing, and that's where their work ended. But as they say - Nvidia cards are sold and that's the main thing. And yes, there you really just need to go to Engine > Rendering > Hardware Ray Tracing. Check the box for Support Hardware Ray Tracing. Then you can manually adjust and finish it, but to be honest, I didn’t see any manual work.

And I think they stopped writing the ages of the characters, precisely so that there would be no such debates :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Can you guys fast travel to the dock with the boat?

While I'm in the boat, I use the wheel to select fast travel to dock but it simply doesn't work. Am I missing something?

And why the fuck would you had a cooldown to fast travelling to the dock?

Some things in this fishing portion are a bit retarded. Makes the game too slow without any fucking reason.

I was checking out the WuWa OT on Era and saw that someone there managed to S6 Phoebe. ;o

GgzyhBC.png


And speaking of that, here are some cool phoebe video edits:





Phoebe is a very good character, I think they could have made her situation much better than it is now. First, Jinhsi shouldn't have been rerun before her release, it should have been done after. Second, she is now very much tied to Spectro Rover, which greatly limits her ability to build groups. But as a character, she is very good, her problem is that there is already Spectro DPS in the game, and it is sooooo hard to find an excuse for why you need two Spectro DPS on your account, since ideally you need all the elements on your account and towers are never both halves of the same element. It also plays a role in the fact that she essentially did not start some new meta as a DPS and she did not replace the same Jinhsi, they are actually equal in strength with some reservations. Prydwen - made a good analysis as usual, those who are interested can read it there. But in general, briefly:

Jinhsi is stronger on S0 and S1, then they gradually level out and become equal.

The main difference between the characters is that Phoebe is more demanding on the player, in addition to the fact that you need to do rotations correctly and switch to Spectro Rover so as not to lose her stacks. All of her damage is spread out quite evenly across her kit, so knowing the rotation and when to press which buttons on her is more important from a DPS point of view. Jinhsi actually has all of her damage contained in her skill, which makes her a little easier.

But overall, she turned out to be a very successful character, and I think she will stay at the top for a long time. Considering the fact that Spectro was the first element to get 2 DPS, I think we won't see the next Spectro DPS anytime soon (Cries about Zani - yes, considering all the circumstances, I'm afraid that she's unlikely to be a DPS, it looks like she will be 2 or 3 position. I don't believe they'll release 3 Spectro DPS so close to each other, or She will have a different element). Most likely, they will now switch to other elements.

I was looking through some datamine stuff, and supposedly a lot of the characters used to have different designs before they got China-fied and censored. For what it's worth, I think WuWa is less censored than the other big CN games, but still sad to see regardless.

One dude cleaned up the original Phoebe model and made a mod of what her first iteration looked like.

Apparently that was too much and had CN officials crying and shitting their pants.

A snippet of a letter sent to content creators regarding Phoebe was posted on Reddit
ww-spectro-frazzle-dps-crumb-v0-g9rbzc5hkrje1.jpeg
From which it turns out that they see Phoebe as a hybrid character, since she has 2 stances. And it turns out that in the future they are planning a character that will use her as 2, but for this she must constantly be in her second stance. As usual, these are rumors, whether this will be true we will see =)

Why are Danjin players like this?
This is already outdated information, there is information that Danjin players have already completed all the content of 2.5 despite the fact that it has not yet been released.
This meme started on Reddit very spontaneously, and I don't even remember how it started, to be honest, it gets crazier every time. :messenger_grinning:

Have 30k+ astrites currently, 200+ corals to get a dupe once I also start spending my astries. Oh and this whole 2.1 patch, I'm just saving. Feels good, man! :messenger_sunglasses:



Feels good yeah. I'm gonna cry when I see my astrite numbers fumble when I go for Brant though :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Been farming a bit of the new domain, and I actually got way better echoes and roles when farming in the world rather than in the domain.

I've been slowly building Phoebe up a bit, and I have to say I actually kinda like her. She's a lot more fluid to play than the leaks/previews let on. I love how after you use outro after her ult, she just floats forward shooting light rays out of her umbrella. Also her airborne attack lets her zoom around like a witch riding a broomstick. Seems strong too, but mine isn't built enough to really say that for sure one way or the other.

Also making good progress of getting all of my characters' skill trees maxed. It makes a much bigger difference than I had convinced myself earlier. My Changli is a proper beast now. That new Nightmare Inferno Rider echo was custom tailored for her, and the attack fits her kit much better too. I really like what they did with the Nightmare echoes in general. New movesets, new effects, sometimes even entirely different echo sets.

Anyone having UE4 fatal error issues since the new update?

2nd day in a row I enter the new tacet field and boom, game crashes on me.

I have my GPU overclocked, but have been running these overclock settings for about a month and never had issues.

Been playing between this and Baldur's Gate 3 and no issues at all.

Hence Wuthering Waves since yesterday - it crashed 2 times, in the exact same spot.

Yea this is what i was talking about yesterday. She's surprisingly fun to play despite being a staff "caster" type character. I'm really happy with her. Not gonna go for additional copies or anything, but she's fun.

Did you see that thread about the latest nvidia drivers causing crashes? I personally haven't had issues in this game, but several other games have been crashing for me since the latest driver update on the 13th. Might wanna try rolling it back if you continue having issues.

Well there's an opcional one, but it's not mandatory to upgrade to it according with AMD.

AMD GPU here. Go team red!

EDIT: Just stressed test my GPU and no issues what so ever. Gonna stresstest via 3D Mark now.

This seems to be something with the game to be honest.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

I kept wondering what the hell this familiar error was and where the hell I could have seen it. And then I remembered that STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor crashed with exactly the same error - thread.
The only thing I found was this thread on Reddit (But this is a registry edit and it is dangerous and yes, it pops up in Ark for people too). It also seems like there is an option in this topic that helped a person.
I have not been able to identify or find any one problem that would cause this error, it spontaneously appears to different people in different conditions, and in different games. The only thing that unites all these people is that all these games are on the Unreal engine.

PC gaming at its best, what else can you say. ^_^

Can you check event viewer as well to see if you have an AMD driver error? Or anything related to memory integrity like oem45.inf. It will show up under System events. While you're there, create a custom view for your GPU events.

That error means windows is unloading your GPU driver and then loading it back in, so it should 100% be there on Event Viewer.

I've been going through my event viewer and I can't legit find any errors related to AMD drivers specifically.

Maybe it's important to note that I'm on Windows 11 24H2, which is known to be pretty unstable and full of errors these days.

I've been using for about a month, and until yesterday it was flawless, without any given issues.

It may not be related, but well...it may also be. I don't know :messenger_tears_of_joy:

EDIT: managed to find some events to my GPU, but nothing major there. The ones I found are way past the time of the crash.

Hesitating if I go with this new woman or Shortkeeper
I would wait for the announcement of her skills. It may turn out the same as with Brant, she is kind of a healer but her buffs will only work with Havoc characters. Apart from Havoc groups, she will be useless, while Shorekeeper has universal buffs that work with all characters regardless of their element. Therefore, it is always better to wait for the announcement of character skills than to guess in advance. ^_^

Jinshi - Spectro, if you want to maximize her damage, it's better to put her with Verina, since she needs to make stacks. In principle, she can be used with Shorekeeper, provided that you have a very good character on the second slot, which can create a lot of stacks for her - Zhezhi or Yinlin. But in terms of buffs, Verina is better for her, especially if she is S4 - she starts increasing all Spectro damage for characters in the group by 15% for 25 seconds.

I used the repair tool in the launcher but it acted so fast that I doubt it actually did anything.

Ran 3DMark Stress test with 20 loops, no issues what so ever.

If I get the error one more time I'll just uninstall the game and do a clean install again.
