    Cyberpunk 2077

    I don't buy that. Far too many consoles crash after release for that to be a stopping point for release. Occasional crashes during cert are probably OK, constant repeatable crashes are probably not.

    Yea, I'll be able to hit pity on whatever banner is next. I had thought that it would be Xiao, but a streamer brought up some good points on how Xiao might be delayed til Feb (maybe getting a rework and being linked with the Lantern Festival).

    The 4-piece bonus has a mistranslated description where it says party members will get a 35% RES buff towards whatever element of crystal they pick up, that a Geo use makes. Yet, in reality its a 35% DMG buff for that element. So if you're Geo user makes a Pyro crystal, switch to a Pyro user to...

    Thanks for the recommendation of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, it along with Overgeared, have been really pleasant surprises.

    Most likely not since the buff is only 1 instance, so the first reaction triggers the buff for the two who set it up. If the bear is still up when you use Razor's E, you could quickly check the stats and see.

    I had the same feeling when I hit ar40, but as you'll find out yourself, it won't be worth the fragile resin. Take a day and spend your 120 on an artifact domain, maybe with a couple primo refreshes before using the fragile resins. I have two 5* artifacts that were good, in that they didn't come...

    So I found this female Genshin streamer who has a pretty slick setup. If I didn't misunderstand the system, her mod team make username accounts that are given out to viewers who then lvl them to AR7. Then the streamer will make the rolls on stream for those accounts, if said account is something...

    Locking character levels behind resin is the biggest issue I have with the game, anyone who tries to defend it are just smooth brains. I could accept limitations on bosses / domains, since that is so common across games, but simply character leveling is just beyond stupid. Spiral Abyss had...

    Its a really really easy recommendation for anyone who has played it to give. Great game.

    The new event coming tomorrow or tuesday has BP rewards, so make sure to do that each day if you're falling behind. After spending some fragile resins / refreshes on running ar40 domains for artifacts, I found it to be pointless since the goal was to get 5*'s. They were too rare to make spending...

    Make use of the CN Interactive Map for chests / seelie / oculi, if you haven't already. Then look through youtube (or this thread) for vids showing various hidden chests around the world (especially the mining ones). CN Interactive Map It gets hammered a lot, so it might be slow. Its a lot...

    I doubt you've actually earned 2k primo gems in 4 days from finding chests, which at ar37-38 is the only thing you might not have completed. You probably cleared some Abyss floors, gotten freebies via compensation, and maybe from BP. =) I think you earn 150 gems per day from doing the daily...

    Genshin Impact

    Two things. The BP xp you earned from the Crucible event bypassed the weekly limit, and was a good boost for anyone who did it. The Ley Lines become the ONLY viable source of Mora and XP Books at WL4+, and they have a 16-24hr respawn if you don't claim the loot. You can do all 20 per week...

    Genshin Impact

    I guess they are going to throw people a bone with 1.1 by increasing Resin cap to 160, and the weekly BP goal from 1600 to 1200. One small step.

    Genshin Impact

    Probably why I see the black sword do a bit better than the aquila favonis, even with black sword having so much less base atk (on wpn). The crits more than make up for it (with160% crit dmg).

    Game studios clearly know the games streamers play are free publicity for their games, but I am 100% sure they are also very aware that if they wanted too, they could dmca the shit out of a streamer for broadcasting their game. Imagine Sony USA getting pissed at a streamer because they weren't...

    If he is consistently generating Particles, then he will be having the dmg buff Crescent Pike gives, he also used Charge attacks a lot.

    Genshin Impact

    Just enable matchmaking for that Domain, tons of people want the artifacts in there, so you'll have an easy time clearing it as much as you'd like. You can still use Keq, but play the Phys Dmg playstyle (use E, then use a Charge attack from a distance, that will proc SC without you taking a...

    Invest in leveling her up, and maybe upgrade some Talents sure. As for gear, you really don't need to invest in her at all, aim for increasing her HP. Give her a weapon that has HP as the main stat, like the 3* Tales of Thrilling Dragons or whatever that buffs the character you swap to from...

    When thinking of how to change the Resin system, you have to go into it with the understanding that it will never be removed. At best it will get some tweaks, I think I mentioned before that the only upcoming changes to Resin for 1.1 is the ability to store and the ability to use twice as much...

    Needing c1 of any 5* to be optimal is a bad thing, constellations should only enhance the character, not make or break them. So if that is true, then yes, Klee sucks. I do agree the MTashed was trying to play her wrong, and hyped her up too much. As a main dps, she is quite good.

    Two things happen in the 30's: Exploration is done or nearly so, after you get all the Oculi and chests, the overworld feels kinda like a wasteland, and then the Resin system kills your enthusiasm. Overworld exploration and the satisfaction you felt as you found chests, puzzles, seelie, oculi...

    Do you have Beidou? I imagine the BP weapon would be better for her than even Wolfs Gravestone (aside from the base atk). I've been watching a stream who mains her, and that counter if f-ing insane. He has the timing down well enough that he can one shot packs of mobs, doing like 35k dmg. Makes...

    Genshin Impact

    I think a lot people undervalue the Black Sword because they don't realize how good Crit Rate is, but I'm not sure if that weapon would be ideal for Qiqi vs. Favonis / Sacrificial, unless you use her as main dps? That are the catalyst were the only weapons I considered, I just hope the next BP...

    Dropped $70 on the banner, which with what I had left over from release and the carry over pity, got me: 1 Klee 3 Xingqui 3 Noelles 1 Sucrose (wanted her the most) 1 Favonis Sword / Book Made 1 roll on the weapon banner and got the 5* Spear, its so good. Have to wait til tomorrow to lvl it up...

    I don't think the resin system is going to be changed in any meaningful way, it will get tweaked a bit, but the game is built around it. Its there to consume the free primogems ppl get on refreshes so they don't have any for banners (unless they resist the urge to refresh for a bit more...

    Dragonspine is just a small sub region, probably the big snowy mountain between Mondstadt and Liyue. The actual region, Inazuma will be in Feb, I suppose.

    Next actual Region to be released will be Electro, so MC will get that element. Upgrading Talents is where the MC can soak up resources. Edit: Klee banner starts sometime tomorrow, not sure where exactly, either our reset time or later in the day. One thing to be aware of is the Xingqui and...

    Mona is really strong. There are a couple issues with her that I dislike: 1) dodging, its an awkward animation and I think switching off from her after a dodge is slower than anyone else, 2) has an annoying ambient sound.

    Genshin Impact

    Rust can be good since you have C1 Fischl, but I'm thinking Favonis is better overall whether you're using Fischl as support or main dps. As dps, to make the most of her, you would want to be able to get her Ult up quickly to have Oz out all the time.

    I was just told that the resin system (or energy systems in all gacha games or any Asian developed game) is required by law to limit how long people can play. I can't fathom how someone can be such a fanboy/shill for any game.

    Do you like the game? Have you spent money on it? If yes and no, then spend a day rerolling until you get a good set of characters. Tedious for sure, but it could be rewarding in the long term. Then use what you've learned to easily get back to where you are, but be in better shape.

    Genshin Impact

    That moment when you realize the "game" of Genshin Impact is nothing more than a thin veneer covering a huge mouth wanting to gobble up your money. The game itself is just there to drive the Resin system, which is purposefully built to consume money from players who want to have a feeling of...

    Controller is fine, but navigating menus is slow, and using the LB1+Directional wheel is a pain at times (make sure to keep LB1 pressed after you release the stick).

    GoT 1.12 update available now, its 9gb of greatness (hopefully). Edit: Got it downloaded, have to "purchase" Legends from the Store to enable it ingame.
