(+) Yeah! (+)

Is there a free wait to get more acquaint fate? I need 5 more for the beginner summon and don't want to spend primogems.

Oh no, they were able to recover my Opera Omnia account. And I just started playing Hero Cantare and Genshin Impact is downloading. This is in addition to Kingdom of Heroes, Arknights, GFL, Harbingers, FGO, Guardian Tales, and Tales of Erin. I'm drowning in games D:

I'm trying to drop some of those games since I feel like I have to play them, rather than I want to. But it's so difficult, especially after I invested so much time and/or money. I mean Hero Cantare is sort of meh, and I haven't bought anything, so that's a pretty easy drop. But ToE has a permanent gem card which is hard to say bye to. But the main reason I played it was because they had a BlazBlue collab, and I thought they might have more stuff like it in the future, but nope.

Harbingers also takes a long time to do the dailies which is pretty annoying.

I'm thinking of just narrowing it down to Arknights, Opera Omnia, and Girls Frontline :<

---

Hey and speaking of Opera Omnia, did they buff Lightning? I could've sworn that Sparkstrike was only a BRV attack, but now it's BRV + HP?

---

Oof, have to pass on Genshin Impact, I just can't deal with these controls.
---

I hadn't payed enough attention to Genshin Impact to know that it was on anything other than mobile and I knew there was no way my phone would be able to handle it. Downloading the PC version right now. I'll be able to try it out sometime tomorrow lol

---

Neither my shitty 4-year-old phone nor my shitty 3-year-old laptop could handle a game like Genshin Impact, and I don't have a PS4 to play right now, so I'm passing on it too. I heard there was a Switch version in the works, so if that comes out relatively soon, I'll try it out then.

Same. Even if my phone could handle it, which I'm unsure of, I'd probably have to delete most of my other games to make room for it. That's definitely not happening.

lol grats
I guess you could technically sit on that slot until Ch'en appears in the pool or something but eh (I'm actually slightly regreting E2ing Ch'en now since she's actually pretty niche)

Yeah HPwise I don't have to try too hard for Fire (Though feels like most fire HL content is cheesable with Draco Harp anyway so it's not a real priority) but it's more that for Water and Dark I'm still kinda waiting on transitioning to Primal and the prospect of farming Aubs/Stix just to toss most of them later is making me sit on that for now lol, plus yeah looking at all the extra mats needed is just uuugh
As an aside why is Varuna the only Optimus that's a gril (Aside from half of Zephyrus I guess) and everyone else is some fugly doodbag, that's like lowkey half the reason I'm willing to go Varuna lol
Speaking of Zephyrus it's kinda funny how Magna Wind has actually caught up to the HP advantage part of Zeph lately, although I guess usable 100k HP memes are still Zeph territory. On the other hand, I still don't even have a spoon (Or any of the Magna 2.5 weapons) even while hosting during the rate-ups so rip
Of course I've also basically hosted TiaMal every day for a couple months and have only one tree drop to show for it so I guess that's just standard drop rng for me

Yeah I'm really just after more sunstone, I still got like one ring I haven't used yet lol

It feels like the art direction with the Primal summons was a bit different, most of them feel like they could belong in a Vanillaware game or something.

I want to go Varuna because Water has a couple of characters I really like (Pholia/Vajra), though it's never going to be a competitive racing element. But Water's Grands are just so bad atm that it feels like a waste of resources to invest in them. It's been something like 2 years since the last Water Grand though so hopefully they'll add a new one soon (granted the next one is probably going to be Progression + Majesty or something).

Grim Spoons are pretty close to Epic/Malice weapons as far as drop rate goes so it's definitely not an accessible HP weapon for Magna Wind. Not that Reunions or Vortexes are exactly accessible for Zeph either, but...Still not a single Spoon drop myself, at any rate, despite leeching aggressively this week (at 300+ total combined Grim Anima)

Man Opera Omnia be trolling me. I was trying to get Overture, and it took me 14 rolls. Literally one more and I couldve just picked it with those tokens you get.

Anyways, what should I do? One more pull to get an even 300 and get a Power Stone and one of those book things?

Yeah Varuna is easily the weakest opti atm but M2 water also feels like the weakest endgame grid as a whole so it's a bit of a catch-22
I'm pretty sure it puts out less overall damage than my M1 dark lol, the relatively strong ougis do little to make up for the mostly piddly autos (And my M2 earth can sometimes match its ougi damage thanks to chicken too). I guess I could look into Rising Force for something with a bit more oomph...

On another note: https://s1.gifyu.com/images/LuciULL.jpg
While I lucked into that on my second try twitter pub FaaH hosts obviously have a pretty bad success rate lol
That being said it's also actually pretty chill, whenever The End pops everyone just shares an 'otsukaresama' before peacing out. Granted you -only- need like ten eggs per Dopus but I think I've only managed to scrounge like 3 wins so far, though at least I also got three tidings now

Next Arknights event is the Kuma event, feels like just yesterday that it was released in CN. I guess that's the accelerated release schedule for ya, kuma.

Is there a way to make the auto AI in Opera Omnia less stupid? I can just have Lightning spam her skills and clear it easily, but instead the AI doesn't use any skills and ends up getting broken and sometimes even dying <_<

---

I like how you can just Spider-Man your way up walls in Genshin Impact lol

---

And man, what are the odds...GFL, Opera Omnia, and Arknights are all having maintenance at the same time right now :<

Project Sekai is so soon!!! I don't know when Japanese apps usually go live, but soon!

Last Cloudia is having a collab with Re: Zero starting tomorrow and will last a month.

God, I really do love the new solo modes in Dragalia Lost. Every since Volk came out, I just couldnt do it because he just moved around too much and didnt give room to breath.

Whenever ID try co-op, Id die easily and just hated it. Since Solo is easier, I was able to learn the movement at a much easier place and now I can easily go into co-op and do the fight well.

Was also finally able to MUB my first fire agito weapon.

i like how Water M2 was the worst already but they still gave it a crap new weapon. Hopefully Dog FLB is good at least, more than anything I'm hoping they take away her dependence on DATA buffers and/or Bonito.

and yeah pubbed LuciHL seems unlikely to succeed given that one screwup can tank the entire raid. There's always someone (I've had two UBHL hosts fail recently due to someone triggering Reason's Transcendence even).

I still dunno what to expect for Arknights banner order now, apparently there was a 3 month gap between Bagpipe and Rosa banners on CN.

On another note, it is nice that they finally fixed Trading Posts so you don't have to click a billion times. Now, if only they'd do the same for daily missions...

They basically said that people should have known it was a mistake and that those individuals violated the ToS.

So now people know if the devs screw something up they can potentially be banned for it.

Yeah. In literally every other game I played when the devs fuck up in your favor, other people get compensated. This game bans you.

Stay away.

---

Good thing I dropped that game quickly lol

---

I could understand a server rollback taking away the premium currency from that erroneous gift and reverting their pulls. I could understand a shorter temporary ban (a week or so at most) while they figure out how to compensate people who didn't benefit from that fuck up to even the playing field again. But a super long ban like that for something that only happened because the developers messed up on their end? That's unforgivable.
---

About 3 months ago in Last Cloudia we had an incident which reset everyone who logged in after maintenance beginner missions which resulted in people who logged in getting around 12k+ currency, a bunch of R tickets, decent amount of SR tickets, and around 8 Unit guarantee tickets and 5 SSR Ark guarantee tickets, plus 3 x10 pull tickets.

Within 10 minutes they went back into maintenance which lasted 12 hours. People thought there'd be a ban wave.

In the end they rolled back the server and gave everyone 6k in currency. Nobody got banned.

God fucking dammit. I spent the nearly 20k orundum and converted all the OP I could to try to get Rosa, but the desire sensor was working overtime. I got Saria, Skadi, Magallan, Bagpipe, and a metric crapton of Podenco. I think Im legit cursed to pulling 4+ of the same 4 star units in one draw in every banner. Like when I got 5 Ambriels at once <_<

Fuck it, Ive saved up 2.4 million LMD and a crapton of materials, so Im going back to farming orundum :<

how many rolls were there total? Four 6* operators is a whole lot more than 20k Orundum unless your luck is absurdly good, though getting non rateups four times in a row is very bad luck

I kinda want to roll 10 times just for the 5* but at the same time I might need to save, since the future banners are in a vague spot right now.

:'( Miku game got delayed due to some app store trouble but we should be able to play it here in less than 15 minutes. I'm readddyy

By "play it here", do you mean in English? It's getting an English release at the same time as Japanese?
---

I had about a total of 10 or 11 pulls I think. Been saving for a long time...One pull here got me Saria and another 6 star though. Not as good as when I got Ch'en twice though :3

No it's only in Japan for right now, though they said they'd like to look into a global release.

On GT, one of the free pulls managed to snag me a Genocide. Now I got a wep for all my 5*s I think... no wait except Piltvice but I had 0 plans to build her even if I did get her wep >.>

Water seems forever cursed to getting stuff from other elements except worse in some way

Yeah pub LuciHLs seem more like a testing ground to get used to triggers more than anything, actually getting to the end of a raid is more of a side bonus that happens once in a blue moon.

For some reason I don't think I've had RT triggered lol, feels like UBHL dies too fast for that to happen these days even in pub raids

Yeah the order's a bit out of whack now. Probably means the WW banner will be here sooner than later at least.
On the other hand looks like next shop 6* is Eyja, guess I can finally join the senpai club

In slightly unrelated news, been trying out some Genshin Impact. Looks like the female MC's voiced by Aoi Yuuki; I don't think I've played any other game where she voices the player character lol

Maths happened and Jeanne D'arc is BIS on Gala Zena if you have access to max HP buffs becoming a +90% strength dragon if you are at max HP and have 30% worth of max HP buffs.

12 point something boxes in Gilfest. All I could be bothered to do.

Even I managed 30.

Ive been kind of interested in Shining Beyond, so when the global version went into open beta for US only I just kind of shrugged since I dont really care about betas anyway. When I found out that progress would carry over to the release version I was kind of annoyed. Its been about a month now, so I checked to see if there was any news on when every other English country is getting it only to find out that there have been events going on. Not only are the rest of us a month behind at this point, but who knows when those events will repeat. I dont think Im interested anymore.

---

Man I swear the people on the Arknights Discord are 10 yo kids. I dont post there that much so I didnt know youre not supposed to post pictures. They were talking about drop rates, so I posted my vast discrepancies; one pic with 3 6 stars, and another with 5 Ambriels. Whats the logical thing to do? Say youre not allowed to post pictures in this channel? Nah, they gotta whine and cry to the mods lol

---

Oh yeah those REEEE-ers are why I almost never go to public or populated discords. There are all these asinine rules and power trips, but also sometimes it's because there are bigger asses on the other end too.

Yep, Water is the element of suffering. I think it was good relative to the other elements at one point when Murgleis was first uncapped? But it's been at the bottom of the pack for awhile now. It says a lot when Dark has a straight-up better version of Water's best M2 weapon. Also, I'm done with the mess that is Astaroth farming for a long time and I've seen a decent mix of every element, except for Water. Nobody ever brings Water, I don't think I've even seen Varuna players.

I do like that Arknight has two good Risa Tanedas (Meteorite being the other one besides Eyja), she isn't in enough stuff

Is it true that theyre buffing the pity drop feature in Genshin Impact or is still just a rumor?

Assume that is fake until you hear otherwise from the devs themselves. Assume everything you hear about 1.1 is fake.

As I understand, back in the day Stamina on Fimbul was on a 23% max mod with straight reduction scaling, making f2p Varuna straight up one of the best grids in general
Until they reworked nerfed stamina (15% max, heavier decay) because stam is so much easier to use than enmity apparently (In an era where Summer Zoi made Enmity Dark king)
Murg was still a good grid slot-in, but then they started giving every other element much stronger grid options (Including better stamina weapons because fimbul tax or something)

I do like that Arknight has two good Risa Tanedas (Meteorite being the other one besides Eyja), she isn't in enough stuff

Yeah looking back she doesn't really show up that much, shame
