Zenless Zone Zero ༺*|OT|*༻ Gotta Waifu 'Em All ♡(੭´͈ ᐜ `͈)੭♡

Idk about you guys, but I'm done with making optimal teams, builds, bla bla. I'll be playing ZZZ just for collecting 3D pngs from now on. That's it.

And for the cool story bits. :p
That’s the move, pull for who you like and let the chips fall where they may. These games are progression treadmills anyway, eventually everyone gets powercrept so I don’t think it matters much.
Way more fun to build up characters you actually like, and hey, if they are super meta as a bonus, even better.

Edit
Didn’t want this buried at the bottom of the last page, I’ve seen a few of these Billy runs now. So awesome. And people said he was bad. I also remember everyone shitting on Nicole, and now she’s a Queen. Moral of story is take what people say with a grain of salt.
Yep. Don't sweat power levels. People have cleared the hardest content in the game with Billy who you get for free.

Same, zero interest in making strong teams or pulling for characters because they are "strong", i pull for a character only if i find it sexy and then i mod them to be even more sexy :messenger_beaming:

NECF Battle Pass is very badly designed. I mean, look at all this!

16 days (!!!!) remaining before the reset and everything you'll be doing for all these 16 days is for absolutely effin' nothing! More adequete devs would implemented some kind of automatic coversion of NECF EXP into Proxy EXP and let people lvl up Proxy Account faster, or at the very least let us carry over all the EXP to the next month but nope, not goddamn miHoYo, they'll do fuck all instead and let all the EXP you earning turn into electronic waste and do absolutely nothing. They can't even add 25-50 additional levels which is easy af to do in comparison to more complex stuff. Like, WTF, man? And I'm just 1 lvl away from maxing out Hollow battle pass, so all the EXP and rewards there are gone and this battle pass don't even have a reset or refresh, so no more rewards from this battle pass at all.

it's for the casuals who only log in once a day to spend energy and do the dailies in between story content. I do think they should add more levels with some stuff like dennies or disc level up mats but it's this way in all the other hoyo games as well and it's always kinda grating that you got 2+ full weeks of no battle pass rewards if you actually finish the content

I mean I know it's a pointless question and I already answered it myself in my post above:messenger_grinning_sweat:, but shouldn't you reward those people who play your game more and who's more dedicated? I don't mean pay to win stuff or whatever the F2P equivalent of this might be, I mean again, more Battle Pass levels etc. should fix the issue in an instant and yet 2 months in a row they're doing nothing to fix this and only the blind can't see how big of an issue it is for not casual players:messenger_weary:

I haven't seen any battle pass in anything I've played that overflows into something else if you finish it, and all the "good ones" finish early so it doesn't start feeling like a second job for players who simply can't spare the time otherwise; its the easiest way to prevent those players from ever spending a dime on the battle pass because they won't feel like they can ever finish one.

Having so much fun playing with Jane that i take her solo and she does the job. She cleared the Shiyu defense (Critical node 5) faster than my Ellen in my most powerfull team.

Still using a lv40 engine and her skills are still in progress.

Dude, you're so right. This hot rat is the shit! I've put a couple of hours into leveling her up (I still need to lvl her w-engine to 50+ and also a couple of discs drives + her skills) and she carried me through 2 Shiyu disputed nodes I had trouble getting S rank.

I almost finished endgame content thanks to Jane and Seth, but for what's left I need lvl 60 agents so for now I'll be collecting dennies until I have at least 4,5 mill and then move on to collecting skill upgrade materials and stuff for Grace, Seth, Burnice and Caesar.

Hopefully there'll be plenty of events during the next 15 days cuz Idk if I'll be able to collect enough tapes to get Burnice - I'll be at least 35-40 tapes short so maybe I'll need at least 2 weeks after 1.2 launch to collect the rest.

Finally finished the last disputed shiyu severely underleveled in s rank; seth and jane made the difference

Still going for that last copy of seth.

Been playing since launch on PS5 and really enjoying it.

The combat is so much fun. I haven't looked at guides and just play characters I enjoy for now and have done most of what's available without spending any money.

I'm not against it but just haven't needed or wanted to.

If the game sold alternate outfits/skins I would for sure.

Also got the Platinum trophy on PlayStation which I think for me is a first for a free to play game.

The Prophecy commission was really cool.

Now I'm just logging in for about 30 minutes a day till I have nothing left to do.

they do this in their other games so it's definitely coming eventually for ZZZ, however shit's expensive, think 20-30 for a single outfit.
In genshin it's like $15/20 but they come out with one new costume every like 6 months and barely any of their characters have one. It's really weird that they don't lean into it more

Almost done with building Jane. She dishes some serious damage numbers. 👀
She's an absolute monstrous damage dealer with Assault and Physical anomaly triggers and I don't even have her signature engine and her dupes, imagine how insane she is if you have all that. The main issue with Jane for now is that there is no one from her Rover faction in the game so you can't pair her with anyone to activate passive team buffs:messenger_pensive:

********

Decided to go for dupes of Seth since I bet that Burnice banner will have Lucy and Piper - only need one dupe of Lucy and I don't care about Piper. 3 more dupes left, but I only have about 20 searches to go so depending on my luck, I can get 2 dupes max, I can search more but then I might lose 100% guarantee of an S rank character and I want to save it for Burnice. It's such a shame that there's no good A rank W-Engine for Seth with his main stat as a second bonus, but I'm not going to waste tapes and polys on BS W-Engine banner ever out of principle.

Fuck all that. It's even worse than W-Engine channel.

Jane Doe is part of the NEPS factions (The Police) Her Rover emblem has her own name on it i guess is because shes an undercover agent. She pairs with other members of the NEPS or other Anomaly characters. She pairs great with Seth cuz Seth has a skill that gives a shield and increasese the anomaly proficency when other member do a quick assist or chain attack, and thats a damage buff for Jane.

Yeah, after I posted it I figured out that you can pair a bunch of agents with her. The thing is though that they so rely on the faction thing for buffs and stuff that it's not even that obvious unless you just go and experiment, check buff / skills descriptions etc.

More like Western x Biker theme. I wonder what they'll do in terms of locations and stuff there (will there be a new hub and such), but we'll find out in a couple of days. I think we've done everything there is to do in terms of locations in the main city (what's available to explore I mean), it's time to spread the wings and go outside.

The male agent I think will be similar to Anton in terms of combat since he'll be using fire gauntlet at close range just like Anton using his drill, probably will be an A rank agent like Seth and launch with Caesar in October.

the leaks say Lighter is an S-rank and he has an S-rank engine, they have datamined graphics for it already

If lighter is cool I'll pull, as it looks right now I'll probably skip burnice, she doesn't look very interesting to me, caesar will depend on how fun her parry based gameplay is.

Is Burnice a 4* or 5*? I saw leaks saying Lighter is a 5*, and I'm assuming Caesar is too, as the leader.

Should be S rank. As for Lighter, if he's an S rank too, that's mean we'll have 3 banners for 1.2 but we'll find out soon enough.

In other news....

Started playing HSR since there's literally nothing to do in ZZZ outside of dailies and energy burn and I FUCKIN' LOVE THIS GAME! The combat is great, the animations, ultimates etc. are amazing as well and reminds me of Tokyo Mirrage stuff a lot if not better - the current banner's S rank character ultimate is fuckin' god like along with animation quality. Thank god there's no open world as well and more linear levels instead. I've literally zero bad things to say about HSR and WW didn't hook me as much as this game right from the start too.

Yeah this next banner is gonna hit my wallet pretty hard..
I have enough polys go to for a 50/50 so i will try my luck on Caeser, not feeling Burnice looks and play style at 1st impression. Caeser looks amazing and while shes not a damage dealer i heard in the test version she seems to be a jack of all trades with skills that make her a good Stunner, good Tank/ Defender and good Support.

I know I just said don't need to pull for meta but Caesar is looking to be really busted in a good way. She'll be by far the most powerful support in the game and gives a 1000 attack buff to whoever's on field. She power creeps qingyi in her own teams ;_;

This gives so much Borderlands vibes, the first 2 games specially. Remind me the times when Western devs knew how to make great games

This HSR news is kind of unrelated to ZZZ, but since it's HoYo's first physical release, I hope they'll plan on doing one for Zenless Zone Zero too.

I would love to have a ZZZ physical edition in my collection, even if what's on the disc will become outdated quickly. And maybe they'll also include some unique rewards and/or physical goodies for those buying the physical edition.

A physical version of a f2p gacha game is an insane proposition lol, even if it came with 40$€ of currency, it would still be extremely bad value since the currency is overpriced to the max.
