I feel like Anby's animations are unfinished or something. She doesn't have the smooth movements of the rest of the cast. Ben too, to an extent. Still, it's cool that they're adding this.

I think she just has really fast deceleration and not many moving bits on her outfit so she comes to a stop near instantly

Looks like I'll be walking around the world as Rina in a month from now, or should I say floatin'?:messenger_beaming:
There's still time, they'll fix some animations and improve them within a month, I just hope that they'll also upgrade the rest of the cast with better polygons and more rounded.... ahem.... edges:messenger_smirking:

So I've moved my old PS5 to the bedroom since I've decided to keep it instead of selling it and now it's been "relegated" to being a HoYoverse machine / Gacha Station only. I guess I'm slowly becoming like one of those casuals who only play Fortnite or COD on their console. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Joking ofc. I have all my other current-gen consoles (PS5 Pro, XSX, and Switch) in the living room for all my gaming needs.

Oh my God it's finally over, the struggle was real. Spent like 3 hours trying to get from level 26-30 in the endless tower mode

fuck the level with that enhanced hound, that shit was almost impossible with piper lucy burnice team
Nice job, I did a couple of these, and the level of perfection the game expects from players just isn’t worth my time, especially not without any poly as a reward. I’ll wait until I have more OP characters in the future lol

Edit.
I did wipe out the new Critcal Node all S ranks super easily though lol, by comparison that’s a breeze hahahaahaha

So I spent some time today clearing the latest patch content, knocked out the stupid Bangboo counting minigame and the VR battle mode, then I went into that Archipelago mode. I actually really liked it for the first 2-3 stages, but by the end it was absolutely painfully shit. Once you unlock the Resonia that start popping random stuff up all over the map and have 3 companions following you + 3 bangboos, you can't see a damn thing. They should have done something like make the followers tied to just a color outline instead of showing their icon. You couldn't see when they were standing on spikes or buffs or whatever, and even enemies got totally blocked out by them towards the end. Really poor user experience for the last few levels.

It was a cool idea but way overstayed its welcome. Shame it wasn't a mode with carefully designed levels instead of RNG shitfest. I'd like to play that mode quite a bit if it was more puzzle and less "run around and collect all the buffs". IMO, it should have ended after the 3rd stage.

Now all I have to do is the main story quest and whatever event that is with the shop currency, and I'm finally caught up. Finally finished maxing out every character I play as far as skills/W-Engine levels/character levels/etc. For the next few weeks I'll just be burning my stamina on farming disks.

Put in a bit of time today and now I'm up to date with all the stuff from ZZZ.

Gotta say that I'm tempted to pull for Yanagi based on all the stuff I've played with her through the trials and events. Made this short clip and she's triggering them disorders like there's no tomorrow.



Oh and I finished building Lucy as well and I'll be using her in my Jane doe - Burnice team.

The archipelago is fine as long as you skip the resonia that gives a chance of spawning xp chips when picking up something, especially with the tactic that increases xp gained you'll just wind up with infinitely spawning stuff.

She is very fun to play, but do you really need her? And Haramusa is probably free.

I feel like im playing a dead game where the only thing keeping this thing alive are the good looking characters and animations. Majority of the events are trash tier waste of times for micro rewards. Main Story has been completely negleted and all the story content is just character stories (Some of them are nice though).

Im already noticing a patern in making signature engines almost a must have for recent characters where the signature engines make the characters significant better than what you can do with any other F2P engine available. (Around 20% better) So not only they dont give you enough currency to get every character but they also expect you to pull on the engines. The last leaked Miyabi skills show they nerfed her character skills but buffed her signature engine skills.

In a game where the only thing im enjoying is the ocasional character to build a team, i feel this game just keeps slapping me in the face for being F2P. After Miyabi drop i dont even seen any leaked character that might be interesting to me.

I also didn’t like the counting bangboo mini game, and agree that archipelago or whatever it’s called went on way too long.

Still haven’t done the Yanagi event, but there’s time. Maybe sometime this weekend.

I got Solider 11 fully built and she’s…. Not terrible? Helps round out my fire team when I need one too.

Archipelago is so badly made. As you say, far too long and far too messy visuals. I still have to do the last 2 levels and I'm postponing it every day.
I'll be honest. I find it boring and like you said way too long, so I'll probably be skipping the rest of it.

Oh and that weird bangboo video event was not great either, but at least I managed to finish it pretty quickly this weekend.

Many of the last events were rather boring or not done with much effort. Unfortunately, once you have completed all the quests, you can do almost nothing in this world.

Yeah that's the shitty thing, this is basically a log in for 20 minutes a day and that's it game. Even if you want to explore like in Genshin, you can't. I'm not complaining that much though, I burned out on Genshin because there's just too much content to keep up with without it being a time hog...now I just log in and do dailies there too.

How the hell did he get his energy back to essentially do back-to-back supers?
Starting from 1.4 everyone has their own decibel meter and decibel gain is going up by ~28% on average (also in shiyu defense you start with 1000 decibels on everyone). You'll be able to ult on everyone without depleting each other's bars. To compensate, enemies are getting a bit more health and becoming noticeably harder to stun.

Btw I upgraded my Lucy now I use Lucy Jane Koleda instead of Neko Jane Koleda the team feels much more fun and organic, and stronger too. Lucy is so goated I shouldn't have waited so long to up her but now it done and she super great



C0 showcase. Looks extremely promising.


Cool. I don't have Burnice so I hope Miyabi works fine with Yanagi.

When i first signed up for ZZZ alpha tests, i was hoping it was genshin with better combat. Man do i wish we had the open world of Genshin here.

What idiot though will be using Ults without 1) stun the enemy and then 2) go through rotation? Well I guess we found at least one of them on the video. Needless to say it's completely pointless. As for more Ults per fight, well it's good, but will hardly change anything in the grand scheme of things and in a game with literally almost zero story content after launch. I already decided that I won't search for any agents unless it's someone I just need to have (but for what reason though other than just to have? none whatsoever...uh) after getting Miyabi and fuck her W-Engine.

I totally agree with Aenima Aenima here and find it pointless after Miyabi to continue playing like I used to, cuz small events are shit with very few exceptions and there's literally nothing in the game except stupid fights I already got bored of. Maybe I'll get back to the game proper half a year or so (probably way later) from Miyabi launch just to goddamn play some story content longer than for 2-2,5 hrs.

Her hair is glowing though, so that's her w-engine too.

Not pointless at all, it will be extremely useful because right now you save the ultimate for your dps, which means the strength of the others aren't used at all.
Stunner ults don't do a lot of damage, but they have massive daze modifiers, so you actually want to use those to get the stun much faster.
Anomaly characters inflict a lot of status, so you can trigger instant status/disorder, and support characters generate energy for the entire team.

DPS Ults only makes sense after you stun an enemy, that's what I meant. As for stunners and daze, they will make it so that it'll be harder to stun enemies starting with 1.4, so how Ults will help you here? Anyway, it'll be interesting to test how it works in a month from now but honestly... Well, I already said it above, endlessly fighting the same enemies over and over and over and over and over again just with new agents is hardly something I'm interested in this game the most, to put it lightly. I'm way past the stage of enjoying combat and such, it's just not interesting to me anymore on its own cuz I want way more interesting and at the same time way longer story content.

How will being able to inflict a massive amount of daze that never got used before because of saving it for dps after stun be helpful?
Have I said that it is? It's pointless, that's why and for the past 4 months, it only makes sense to save Ult for DPS and also Anomaly characters cuz of anomaly / disorder triggers.

After 1.4 every character will have a chance to use Ults in one fight, so it'll be interesting to see how much of a difference it'll make to use Ults of stunners etc. to stun enemies faster, but it'll also take longer than before cuz of this change. so will it have any diffference in the end? Well, we'll find out in a ~month from now.

I kind of want to see how it turns out with the Ult changes. But I'd prefer it if they didn't change anything, especially not after several months when you've already got used to it. You should do something like that in the beta at the latest.
