>still no official release date
What did they mean by this?
Stream in a week, probably will announce a release date we already know.
They just announced a stream happening a week from now in the Discord.
They also announced that the last CBT will end around the same time, so it'll be about a month in-between the close of the CBT and the launch, assuming the April 26th release date is real.
honkai has become too much of a bloated mess for me
i just want star rail to come out, which i will drop when zzz comes out
Rerolling for Clara!
I want to but I am afraid I am bricking myself if I don't get bronya.
Rerolling for bailuooooh!
are the 4 star characters gonna be enough to clear content?
what about weapon gacha? it seems characters come equipped with their "signature" weapon, so does that mean there's only character gacha?
i think hoyo is moving away from separating characters and their signature weapons (it seems to be the same with zzz)
feels generous, unlike hi3 and genshin
4 star units are pretty strong but you still need to pull most of them. Weapon banners are usually a bait, and they will probably switch to the double character banner system like in Genshin after a while
There's someone on Youtube who has been clearing high levels of Hall of Forgotten Memories with only 4* characters.
Characters do "come with" their signature weapon, but that's purely cosmetic, as in Star Rail, Light Cones take the place that weapons do in Genshin. There is still a "weapon banner" in that you have to roll for a character's signature Light Cone.
honestly the light cone system sounds much better than having to put some weapon with design you dont like on the character
Yeah it allows much more creativity to designers for character weapons and light cone artwork. As much as I like the visual aspect of the weapon of your choosing appear on your character, I think this is much healthier in the long run
They might release it earlier to keep the hype, though we'll just have to see the stream for any confirmations
>are the 4 star characters gonna be enough to clear content?
Yes, but you still need to get them from the gacha.
It's going to be pretty tough just the free characters:
>MC
>March 7th
>Dan Heng
>Serval
>Herta
>Qingque
>what about weapon gacha? it seems characters come equipped with their "signature" weapon, so does that mean there's only character gacha?
>i think hoyo is moving away from separating characters and their signature weapons (it seems to be the same with zzz)
Light Cones took over the role of Weapons, they work similarly except LC also give HP and DEF instead of having a secondary stats, and can be equipped on other classes albeit with their effect negated.
LCs also felt more generic so far, probably because of game design.
Sign LCs usually fit the character more on top of having an art related to the character.
Is Sushang better than Dan?
I would say they are equal, Dan is better with buffers that can grant him Wind pen and debuffers who slow enemies so he can always get the ultimate additional trigger effect. Though he can work by himself, you will want to buff him. Also if he is hyper invested you can use him in content where there are no wind weak enemies and he will still be viable.
Sushang on the other hand relies on enemies being weakness broken so you need to pair her with other damage dealers, specifically ones that the enemies are weak to.
I didn't count eidolons but if we count that in Dan's 4th eidolon is busted and makes him a mini Seela.
I don't want to use a gay
i just hope that if this game gets costumes they dont do a genshin and only release 1 fricking reskinned costume per year at the price of 30 bucks
The only thing stopping me from buying costumes is the pricing
Not even Fortnite pulls that shit

Yanqing and Arlan?
they are just twinks
this is a shota
manlets are good enough for me, can't expect any better from mih*yo
I kind of like some of the characters but also hate how sanitized the game is overall
>ate how sanitized the game is overall
That's just china from now on, until someone can topple the ccp or they crumble internally we'll never get anything fun out of china again.
Go play american games instead? You keep complaining yet here you are begging the chinks for crumbs.
Why would I choose a football field of shit over a plate of shit? At least gacha games still have crumbs of fanservice. Imagine shilling western games on a gacha general, where the frick do you think you are?
I'm not shilling anything, I'm calling out how moronic you are stalking the thread of a chinese game while complaining about chinese censorship. There are a truckload of gacha games with not only breasts and ass, but porn as well, yet here you are wasting your time.
>noooooo you can't criticize my game in any way it's perrrrrfect shut the frick up reeeeeeee
touch grass chud
>moving goalposts
My bad bothering to reply to brazilian shitposters.
Get used to it, it's like this on every mihoyo related thread on Ganker. There are so many edgy ESL kids that think they're cool for shitting on whatever the company makes and it pretty much makes any discussion outside of /gig/ impossible.
The /vg/ general for this will probably be usable too mostly because clowns like that will simply be drowned in a flood of shitposting and nobody will pay attention to how much they hate mihoyo/genshin/honkai/star rail and hunt down every single thread about it across the entirety of Ganker.
no one asked for your life story about how much you love sucking mihoyo wiener
>makes any discussion outside of /gig/ impossible
Not like discussion inside of /gig/ is impossible either, that place is a shithole, and not even a fun one.
It's a lot more fun than threads like these because clowns like
Either get made fun of until they break or ignored so it's honestly much better than the average dead threads scattered across the board because any random moron can decide they want to show everyone how cool they are and how much they hate Genshin/Honkai/Star Rail/MiHoYo/China by shitting up the thread until 404
We are barely 100 posts in and you already got triggered by criticism?
Calling a moron a moron isn't being triggered. It's calling (You) what (You) are: a massive homosexual
People have MiHoGod rent free in their minds because they are scared. They fear superior developers who will take over the market and grant us a new era of gaming standards
the unironic shilling invalidates everything you'll ever say
>That's just china
Zenless and Millennium Journey ELF looks fine.
Zenless is already getting sanitized too. Never heard of Journey ELF but looks cool.
no e-girl no play
Are they using the same potato models from gensh*n? I want actual e-girls this time around.
Well, not like they aren't censoring them to hell and back anyways.
There's a new model, actual hebes this time.
Hook and Bailu seem slightly taller than Klee and the others from Genshin. Clara is the one I'd definitely call an actual e-girl though since she resembles a popular e-girl, Illya.
The potato models seem a little more worked out this time. Also as other anons mentioned there are also more traditional e-girls in the game.
Better but still kinda potato.
Clara is more e-girl like though I'd say a bit tall, but I'm fine with that.
There's basically 2 e-girl models if you can tolerate them not being really e-girl.
Thank you, that's all I needed to know. I was excited since Honkai had some good e-girls, but I guess that modern day Mihoyo is a different company now.
I personally think they're both pretty good.
Hook is a really short woman or a e-girl?
She's a child. You meet her on the second "map" where she is the leader of a "gang" of children.
Hebebros...
So who is the smelly NEET of Star Rail? Silver Wolf or guruguru?
Silver wolf easily
Will Star rail also get a ""Genshin"" and Evangelion collab tho
The Genshin Collab wouldn't even really be a Collab since Star Rail is fundamentally about meeting characters from different universes, and Genshin is just another universe in the Honkai word. So the lore is already implemented for us to get Eula.
you're moronic and delusional but I guess that's a requirement to be a honkai player
I haven't even played Honkai, but this is literally what star rail's lore is all about, I don't see what's the problem with what I said.
News flash, that "lore" got retconned/thrown out already, otherwise you'd be seeing honkai(the monsters) in both genshit and shit rail. For confirmation, theres voicelines from Welts profile stating something along the lines of "oh I tought we'd be going up against the honkai but theres an even greater threat out here"
genshin would be the one getting the collab to bring attention to star rail
what killed the hype?
people realizing it being a shithoyo game
I have insider information, first event will be hoe-girlve collab
So anyone that actually played the cbt? Does this have pvp, guilds etc?
I've been in the last two betas. No PvP or Guilds. Also no co-op. The closest thing to co-op is being able to use one of another person's characters in certain content. Other than that, it's practically a single-player game.
That actually sounds really good, i'll give it a try
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Ok another one if you don't mind, what are the rates, how does the pity work if any and how many daily chores are there roughly speaking.
Rates and Pity are exactly the same as Genshin, 160 premium currently per pull, 0.6% of 5* outside of pity, soft pity at 75, hard pity at 90, and there is a 50/50.
For dailies, you get one daily quest and five daily training objectives per day. Completing the daily quest is always one of the daily training objectives, and completing training objectives is what gives you your daily premium currency, along with other stuff like some credits. Other than the daily quest, the daily training objectives are typically stuff like "Defeat 20 enemies," "Break 5 breakable objects," or "Clear one Calyx" (To use another Genshin comparison, basically Genshin's Leylines).
You only have to clear 3 or 4 of the daily training objectives, as some give double credit.
On top of that, you also have Trailblazer Power, which is the same as Original Resin in Genshin, and serves as your "stamina" for getting rewards from Calyxs, bosses, etc. in order to power up your characters.
Just adding, the LC/weapon gacha uses the same guarantee system as characters instead of Genshin's EP or the lack of it previously.
Made it way less painful in getting limited signs.
Non-limited signs are also available in the shop, taking over the 4* weapons in Genshin.
They cost 600 premium shop currency or the equivalent of a whooping 30 rolls (tix cost 20).
The shop currency obtained from rolling is the same as Genshin, only multiplied by 4, so since the tix in the Genshin premium shop cost 5, in SR it cost 20.
The only difference is that characters cost a little bit more, in Genshin they cost 34, but in SR they cost 140 (140 / 4 = 35).

I mean what the frick did you expect, this is a BATTLING game, you can't just send your average JS to fight monsters
what is this potato body meme, i dont get
it means the whole body is all clumped up closely together, big torso, big head, short arms, short legs
looks like a potato
Final Fantasy and it's connected universes has a dwarf-like race that players took to calling potatos and since Ganker and offshoot boards are children that love spouting memes, a ton of people have taken to using that for every child character which spread everywhere. Sometimes in a joking manner, sometimes in a derogatory manner.
Usually people who use it in a derogative manner or seethe about them are the manchildren tourists we picked up on the site that foam at the mouth whenever they see a female character that doesn't have gigantic breasts or isn't as old as their grandma like
Thats a whole lot of autism in defense of badly designed characters
NTA but I love Genshin's potatoes. I have no idea what you guys are so particular about.
It looks like shit, you have shit taste, end of story.
They look super cute. You are just a hebegay in denial.
there goes that word you autistic genshit fans love to use to describe anything that isnt a adult woman
I don't about other Genshin fans but for me hebe is a petite girl with small or no breasts.
> hebe is a petite girl with small or no breasts.
Adult women can be short and flat
Diona is actually a kid
Genshin "e-girls" are off putting because they all share the same model
Playing a turn-based RPG right now. Goddamn I hate this shit. Downloading Star Rail day 1
Bros, we just have to accept that the era of e-girl is over... We should be glad hoyo is even making e-girls in the first place when anyone smaller than them would be cancelled in the first week. Anyways, the confidential beta program is about to start, maybe we will start to see some actual quality posts about the game here.
i hope they show some new characters
i will be playing with whatever they give for free and save rolls for the eventual fu hua release
i hope she will still use her fists/gauntlets and is just as much fun to play as she is in hi3
btw, does this game have a "constellation" system like we have in genshin? what happens if we roll for a copy of a character?
Same system as genshin, 6 copies to fully constellate a character with two levels being level boosts, other copies give a large amount of starglitter/stardustwhatever equivalent of star rail
SR is basically Genshin if it's Turn Based and has no open world, also a bunch of nice QoL.
hebe has a really fricking simple definition, "currently undergoing puberty"
people get too moronic about it for some reason
>"currently undergoing puberty"
Which doesnt fit 90% of the characters genshitters try to attach the term to, thats my problem with it. But then again, I'm expecting genshin fans out of all people to use their brains
exactly, they're among the people getting moronic
Just finished the d4 beta, was worried it would take me away but there is nothing to worry about it was shit. Now I just want this to come out quick so I can have something new to play.
>anything by modern-day Blizzard
It was a foregone conclusion that it would be shit.
Oh the irony of you saying that in a thread for another hoyo shovelware
>paid 70$ to join """open beta"""
Shouldve waited until 25th
But the game is trash, cant wait until star rail saves me from the gaming slump
is there a datamine of the voices from the beta?
So this is basically a single player turn based gacha game? I don't really get the appeal of single player gachas. Isn't the point of gachas to show off your stuff to other players? Why is mihoyo so afraid of making a coop game?
>no coop of any kind
>no guilds
>roughly all the same systems and features as genshin except the actual combat is now turn based
You're playing this either for the Honkai appeal or the turn-based gameplay
Turn-based gameplay here because that's almost the only kind of game I play at all period regardless of platform.
>>no coop of any kind
There's a "coop" in the final beta.
It's like a raid but very small in scope, kinda like GBF's.
You scout an enemy, then you can either solo it or share it with friends/public, and people can help you but the enemy.
There is no open world so I don't think they bothered with coop. There was a """coop""" event where you and your friends try to take down a boss with limited tries like a similar event in HI3, but other than that and renting your character for certain content, there is no coop. Hopefully they add a permanent coop game mode after launch
>Why is mihoyo so afraid of making a coop game?
Their audience literally does not want coop. Look at genshit threads whenever theres a coop event, all they do is b***h and moan about it and do it solo anywya
>either for the Honkai appeal or the turn-based gameplay
Shit rail has neither
Why the frick would I want to interact with moronic mihoyo subhuman simps in any way, shape or form while playing a game?
The more single-player it is, the better. No shitters in co-op griefing you, no PVP autism, no guilds with discordtrannies.
>no PVP autism
For now. I can't think of a single gacha that uses this same gameplay that doesnt have pvp as well
You mean turn based? One of the biggest grossing gacha doesn't have that. Or any kind of ingame ranking lists.. or anything about other people playing the game, really.
I feel like the biggest mistake to make is not to commit. Like Tower of Fantasy that wanted to be everything at once. But either you are making it clear you are a multiplayer game first, everything else second, or you better don't rely on people communicating. Their weird 100 people guilds among other hands down moronic decisions when it comes to the multiplayer aspect definitely didn't help the game. It's like they want multiplayer and communication, but then not really.
I feel like in the times of the internet, you are an idiot if you think you need to have ranking lists and pvp to have people whale for e-penis. Don't worry. That happens without you adding dumb game modes nobody really likes anyways. Do expect actual whale content in other forms though. The game I talked about that has no pvp and such most definitely has content where you need to whale, as you require dupes, and the right stuff.
>You mean turn based?
I mean this particular blend of autobattler, normal attack+2 skills, you know, epic7, 7knights, exos heroes, summoners war, artery gear. E7 in Particular was used a lot last thread as example of a game mihoyo was clearly "inspired by" for star rail
We had a bunch of coop events when Genshin started but they became few and far between. Most likely the social anxiety nips complained about them. Chinks seems to love pvp and rankings.
>Turn-based game has PvP
>It's just a race to inflict every status ailment on the opponent before they do the same to you
Frick that
nah, its a speed stat+critical damage competition
>lmao my minmax whale character has 3 more speed than yours, I get to use my aoe nuke before you even get to buff up
Because they are going to revolutionize turn based gameplay and destroy the japs in what they claim to do best
FGO EOS next year after this game curbstomps it calling it now
Bro, the nips literally don't give a frick. They churn out low effort trash like no tomorrow and coombrains still drop their money as long as there are faps to be had.
Also they are focused on strictly domestic sales and happy to give foreigners the finger. See Dolphin Wave and DMM for example
>Dolphin Wave
Irrelevant garbage that didn't take off even in Japan.
>DMM
Only have outdated shit, the non outdated stuff do have non JP version or simply too irrelevant and not expected to go off.
I highly doubt they're gonna take over japan with designs like these
Games like Blue Archive got popular purely because of its top tier coom designs, while on the other hand Star Rail characters seem like they got designed by a committee. Hoyoverse is about to realize that they can't repeat practices they did with Genshin in other games and hopefully they backpedal instead of doubling down, but I don't have faith in these frickers.
>that they can't repeat practices they did with Genshin in other games
My guy, calling star rail a genshin reskin would be a understatement, and its baked so deep into the game you can't fix it. With enough shilling they'll make Star Rail work anyway
I'm talking about the character designs. Can't you read?
my bad
>while on the other hand Star Rail characters seem like they got designed by a committee
they literally did, the CCP has to approve everything
Genshin characters got big despite being held by CCP.
>the most popular are the release characters with some few exceptions
Genshin got big for other reasons. You don't see a new wave of fan art with every new female character that releases, just the big ones like Shogun or Nahida.
>Genshin got big for other reasons.
Nah, it got big because of several reasons including characters.
>You don't see a new wave of fan art with every new female character that releases, just the big ones like Shogun or Nahida.
The hell are you even talking about? Dehya got plenty of fanarts.
Not all characters are a big hit but most of them still get decent amount of fanarts at least, and they're still getting it.
Yelan, Nilou (as niche as she is), Dehya..
>Hoyoverse is about to realize that they can't repeat practices they did with Genshin in other games
Basically this, Genshin's success was a lighting in a bottle due to a lack of AAAish anime games on console, you can blame the west and the western pandering jp companies for that. I don't think that Star rail will be able to pull the genshin audience that it want to as Genshin is still fairly popular which leaves dedicated honkai fans and more niche circles that do care more about coom and star rail is a big step down from honkai in that regard. Honestly with both Zenless and Genshin pulling the omnipandering audiences they should have kept Honkai a bishoujo like it's predecessors.
As most with most gachas the characters
tend to carry the game where as with Genshin it is the reverse, while the characters do get fanart, it also has a pretty non existent doujin presence.
>that do care more about coom and star rail is a big step down from honkai in that regard
Honkai itself is a step down in that regard. The designs have been going downhill for years now. You have the overdesigned "white blob" like Elysia, "just make a MGR reference" with HoO Mei, literally recycling a costume for a previous character and calling it a new character with HoF Kiana. I think HoS was the last good design they had
>Honestly with both Zenless and Genshin pulling the omnipandering audiences they should have kept Honkai a bishoujo like it's predecessors.
I'd say ZZZ is them trying to get the arknights audience, somehow I dont see that happening
>Yelan
female+upscaled Xinqui
>Nilou
Ayaka palette swap
>Dehya
upscaled Xinyan
The problem with genshins designs is that they are so overdesigned yet generic you can just classify them as a copy of a existing character
>I'd say ZZZ is them trying to get the arknights audience, somehow I dont see that happening
TD enjoyer? Different gameplay entirely.
Somewhat dark main story? Doesn't seem the case.
Lots of lore and backstory? Genshin also do that, SR is shaping up to be the same too.
Furryshit? There's barely any furry in both game, ZZZ's is very prominent though.
>turn based combat
Hard pass. Might as well just add fricking tank controls while you're at it.
No.
add the brown Natlan e-girl and you'll be able to make a pokemon evolution line joke
>it also has a pretty non existent doujin presence.
Nips doesn't really draw Chinese stuff, but it's still doing pretty well.
Approx 30% of genshin results are literally homosexual shit
The character design mentality seems to "borrow" heavily from arknights, thats the feel I got from what little characters they showed. Literally the only noteworthy cast member is the pink haired mesugaki, by Bache's(AL) artist
This hardly prove anything though, one doujin can get 5 different scans/uploads and another dozen different language translations to bloat the search number.
both BA and GI have instances of reposts, but even after adding "-translated", BA still has more
>Isn't the point of gachas to show off your stuff to other players?
Gacha is all about gambling.
You showing off what you have or your luck can be done anywhere, not just in-game, showing off your shit is easier in a social media like Twitter anyway.
>Why is mihoyo so afraid of making a coop game?
Because PvP and single player makes more money? And there's already plenty of PvP heavy/focused gacha, so doing a single player focused gacha makes more sense, especially since Genshin and FGP proven this true.
Sorry rerollbros, I don't allow you to reroll for my wife
I have been practicing my rerolling autism for this game. Have been rerolling for Granblue for about 4 days and still going strong. Anyone going in Star Rail with what they get is doing a huge disservice to themselves, especially in this game.
>autist joins the thread
why did he reply to me
I don't know about waifu designs but the gameplay designs for characters are pretty good, they're simple in a vacuum but combined with light cones artifacts and extra talents they can get pretty complex. Also I like that every standart banner 5* has good syngery with some 4* stars

Nah, you're 100% right. In this beta I got both Bronya and Yanqing and your assessment is spot-on. It's like they were made for each other, given Bronya's crit damage buffing and Yanqing's crit-focused kit.
need gepard boifren
no e-girl no play
Don't worry bro, there are a lot of erotic children in this game
the children's heads seem overly big like the playable e-girls in Genshin. I don't like that.
those are the non-erotic children
post erotic children like Clara
>no pants
>no shoes
>not too small but not too big
>is a cute autist
Did jihadyo accidentally design their best e-girl yet?
Makes me sad she's niche use, still might roll for her anyways. Why can't a character like her ever be outstanding? It's always shit like venti or welt that get the broken abilities.
Venti was considered broken at release but now nobody uses him anymore.
Listen to Ganyu's advice and roll for who you like.
She's not "niche", she just needs taunt to enable her (read March 7th) because if you don't hit her she does basically nothing. She is a giga stat stick and has self cleanses, she is just very unique in her gameplay which is why most ooga booga tier lists call her trash without considering what she does when properly built in a team. Also, don't give a frick about the meta in mihoyo games, pull with your dick or for the meta it doesn't matter really since the content we have right now is piss easy
Does taunt even work vs bosses? Why does a character that needs to be hit not even have a way to enable that? She is basically forced to be tied down to another character, what happens when you can't run two dedicated characters because of some other reason? I makes your total choices for team comp much smaller.
IIRC taunt is a character stat so it should work on every enemy except the ones that hit all your allies or ones specifically designed to not be affected by taunt. And yeah that is how Mihoyo designs characters, even the strongest characters in Genshin will be crippled to a halt if you take away their teammate that enables them. Hopefully they release a light cone or another 4 star character that works with Clara, but even now she is pretty strong.
>Why does a character that needs to be hit not even have a way to enable that?
Because taunts and defensive skills are for Preservation characters, so far only fire MC have it. Others like Clara simply increases the chance of getting hit.
Taunt itself is an actual stat that's tied to class/role, Destruction characters has the highest base Taunt stat so they're more likely to be attacked.
Just wait until they break this "rule".
That sounds needlessly convoluted. I've never in all my years seen a taunt ability that just kind of works sometimes if it feels like it. I hate characters that have a mechanic that relies on needing another character to function. That almost 100% guarantees them to be extremely niche and quickly forgotten. Of course it had to be the character design that is most unique to the game and the one I liked the most.
>I've never in all my years seen a taunt ability that just kind of works sometimes if it feels like it.
Granblue has tons of chars like that though? It's called "Hostility up"
I wisely avoided that trash. Everything I hear about that game sounds like a nightmare. The pics of guild leaders having meltdowns about people not taking the game as a second job are hilarious.
https://gbf.wiki/Hostility
The game is great, you don't have to tryhard it, but if you do, you better put on your big boy pants.
GBF's kinda fun and you can absolutely casual it. But if you try to stare deep into the abyss then the abyss will stare back and drag you into it's depths.
Also, hostility up is usually always just a side effect and not really the main effect. Like see here
>Increases the Trailblazer's DMG Reduction by 42% and gains 1 stack of Magma Will, with a 100% base chance to increase the likelihood of being attacked by all enemies for 1 turn(s).
vs
>After using her Ultimate, DMG dealt to Clara is reduced by an additional 30%, and Clara has a greatly increased chance of being attacked by enemies for 2 turn(s). In addition, Svarog's Counter is enhanced. When an ally is attacked, Svarog is guaranteed to launch Counters, with its Counter DMG multiplier on the enemy increases by 192%. Adjacent enemies take 50% of the DMG dealt to the target enemy. Enhanced Counter can take effect 2 time(s).
OR
>Immediately attacks the enemy. Upon entering battle, the chance Clara will be attacked by enemies increases for 2
One beefs up her counters, one is an instant attack when the battle starts and the other one is your average taunt provoke. It also depends by how much she increases her chances of being attacked because if it's "greatly increased" like it says then it's actually pretty good and even better if you can increase it to a 100% chance via other abilities like March 7th.
And to add to this, Clara seems to be a tanky bruiser. If her numbers are good or remain good through time then she can be still be used later when there's characters that redirect enemy aggro to a certain character like GBF Andira's sage of eternity skill but yeah it is kind of silly having a character based on counters not have a taunt. Should have made her hostility last longer at least instead of 2 turns.
I'm not familiar with genshin does mihoyo ever buff characters?
no lol
They can get indirectly buffed like in Honkai they gave PRI weapons to old characters they wanted to buff which brought them back to relevancy or change the meta around them like how Keqing went from trashy meme character to unironically good aggravate driver when Dendro came out but if you're expecting them to go back and fiddle with a character number or change their skills then it's impossible.
Launch chars are usually doomed to be powercreeped anyway.
Just get Clara C6 that extends her counters to the entire party and makes her counter whenever anyone at all gets attacked
>mihoyo
>buffs
lol
No anon, even the other answer you got
was wrong, the most they'll do is release a shiny new weapon and stigmata set you have to roll for if you want the character to remain relevant. For Shit Rail, expect craft essences, wait, wrong name, artifacts...wrong again, light cones with hyper inflated effects
Sounds like you love this game and can't wait for it to release just so you can shit up those threads too
>asks question
>gets mad about the answer

post the private server
Jesus people weren't lying about the potato meme, its like they are a different species when comparing their bodies to the adults.
yeah
>nearly the entire thread is just seething
lmao the release thread for this is going to be so fricking bad
combining e7g, gig and hig into the most autistic thread on earth was never going to end well
e7g is already the most autistic, it's going star rail is going to suffer but I doubt it will reach its levels.
>but I doubt it will reach its levels.
nah bro you havent seen /hig/
Now put those 3 in one general along with all the seething shitlords from Ganker and other places that hate mihoyo and just want to shit on it and then you'll have the star rail general
No I have, but you obviously haven't seen e7g, especially recently. Doomposters are literally the norm, with the rest being equally divided between cuckposters, catgays, and Bladerunner shitposters. Nobody gives a single frick about the game and they barely even discuss it.
And /hig/ is the opposite. Schizos have a nuclear meltdown if you say anything bad about the game like you just insulted their whole religion and set of beliefs, people literally trying to act like the story is the best thing man has ever written, how much they cried, how the characters are so perfect and have so much development compared to everything else and whatever random garbage those deranged fanatics are spouting that day.
Guess what will happen when you combine /e7g/'s extreme doomposting with /hig/'s fanatic zealotry!
>Guess what will happen when you combine /e7g/'s extreme doomposting with /hig/'s fanatic zealotry!
It's going to be glorious. On one side you will have the Honkai zealots policing everything, and on the other a bunch of morons constantly posting off topic shit, talking about anime, and complaining about another character cucking their waifu while posting Ryan Gosling cats.
like a day or two ago one of the idiots had like 50 posts deleted along with every post nuked because he went on a berserker rampage after his favorite girl was insulted
that place is insane
first thing anyone in e7g would say is that she needs a qos tattoo
Calm down Satan, they are not actual cuckholds, at least not willing ones. Just extremely butthurt that the asiatics in charge of the game have decided to have no girl be for (you) and pair them all with boyfriends. If pic related happened to you, you would be traumatized as well, they basically make them watch as their waifus are getting plowed
But there was a literal guy photoshopping qos tats on everything. did he get banned?
are you sure you are not describing /gig/?
no? gig spends more time in violent schizophrenia, character wars, pushing some agenda, doomposting, shitposting and talking about how their favorite is the best and everything else is trash
huh, sounds pretty normal compared to most genchinks I see
If you spend a lot of time shitting on genshin and its players then you're probably the problem or part of it
Thats the funny part, I don't. They do this to themselves
They don't really. It's pretty hard finding good discussion about any mihoyo title due to the schizophrenia involved when it comes to the site and how a lot of people just go into a fit of rage whenever they see people enjoying the game or having fun talking about a mihoyo game but most players of the game are surprisingly normal outside the schizos that just want to fling shit and talk about how the game is the worst thing they've ever played.
>but most players of the game are surprisingly normal outside the schizos that just want to fling shit and talk about how the game is the worst thing they've ever played.
Oh, I see the problem, you probably never looked into a mirror...
Don't worry, I get all my game discussion outside this site these days like I should have from the very beginning!
I'm too old now to deal with children like you that think they're cool for hating on everything and are more interested in shitting down each others throats to stave away the ennui of every day life. If your parents don't want to deal with you then I certainly won't be the one to.
See, I haven't even said anything about the game yet here you go with the holier than thou attitude and assumptions. Its like you wanted to prove me right after all. Because what, I called out your community?
Proving what right? I'm just pointing out that i'm too old for this shit. I'm too old for your shit. I've spent over a decade on this awful site dealing with idiots and I'm tired of dealing with losers that think they're smarter than they are and believe all their opinions are objective facts.
At this point I just want to discuss my videogames in peace with other people that also enjoy the same videogames I do which is why i'm on /vmg/ which is largely untouched by your kind for the most part and other places outside Ganker. So I'll do what most people are unable to do in this site which is to just back out of this ""argument"" and go do something more productive. Hope you find someone to fling shit with you in another thread!
>I'm too old for your shit
Right...which is why you continue this ultimately pointless argument and share your life story. Rather than discussing...anything really, you'd make increasingly unhinged posts in defense of a objectively shitty fanbase. If it bothers you so much that I hurt the feelings of your precious internet cult, I apologize for triggering you. I'll be more careful around you, miss snowflake
The most insane part is that we arent even talking about the game, just the fanbase alone and this is how you react
You are literally doing the same thing you are complaining about old man
>i-im better than you!!!
>no, you're not.
The argument. Doomies coping about how MiHoYo games have better communities than most Jap trash pedo shit.
Your shitposting isn't helping your case.
Cope.
>cuckhoyo community
>good
(You)
>every other general is full of crazy people but not my favorite general we're full of smart and sophisticated posters who have deep intellectual discussions about our favorite topics and never cause drama or shitpost
You are so mazed you can't even see the shit in your own pigpen.
One erotic child a day keeps the shitposters away
We're barely more than a month away from the supposed launch date with no more information. I'm starting to suspect the game is still not close to launch.
That is some serious hopium.
There will be a official stream on 24th at 7:30PM GMT+8 IIRC and they will probably reveal the official launch date there.
Other than that every information you see before that date is either hopium or copium
I want to believe this, but I am not sure if it makes sense for them to do so.
The game is not releasing this month.
>Why does a character that needs to be hit not even have a way to enable that?
She does. Her ult causes a greatly increased chance for enemies to hit her, the same as March's shield. It is not a 100% chance taunt like the Pyro MC has, but it is close.
https://twitter.com/honkaistarrail/status/1638752438139387905
We'll be getting preload and release date confirmation on stream. Since we're getting a preload date this early this might mean we will be getting it earlier than 26 April
Is this today?
Tomorrow, 18 hours left

PERFECT DOLL JOINTS
SOUL
Is hook the comically moronic potato of SR
not even going to look for gameplay, is this an actual turn based rpg or another one of those "you can only attack and ult" type of games
The gimmick of combat is that you have a "skill point reserve" that charges by 1 when you do a basic attack (which deals low damage of your elemental type) and you use the reserve by 1 when you use a skill (the signature of characters) and as you attack and take damage you charge up your ult which you can use for any character as long as it is your turn. Out of combat wise, each character has techniques that give you a bonus when using it to engage combat, but you can only use it limited times, so a party of 4 cant benefit from 4 techniques. Also you have light cones which are like weapons which grant bonus stats and a bonus ability if you are the same type of class as the light cone. There are also artifacts which are like the endgame grind content, which give shit load of stats but the stats are random upon acquiring. So yeah, I would call it an actual turn based rpg, not as good as things like FE or Persona/SMT games mechanics wise but it being free and having extra game modes like a roguelike mode and a rotating mode which gives pull resources. Though the community is trash (as with mihoyo games)
Ill be honest with you, all I got from you is "one skill one ult per char" which sounds exactly like e7, i cant stand these types of games, even FGO at least gives you 3 active skills and an ult per character, i just cant imagine going through an actual RPG like FF where a character is limited to using attack 1 spell like firaga and 1 summon, even if there are a lot of characters it just sounds so braindead
Yeah that's what I said, the combat is just "press skill or auto, sometimes ult" and that's because the game is clearly designed for a younger/inexperienced audience in mind. As I said, there are a lot of variables that change how the fight plays out, but if you're looking for more buttons to press, you'd rather play a different game, this game is just a more casual E7 without PvPshittery
>designed for a younger/inexperienced audience in mind.
Just call it what it is instead of trying to excuse it. Generic turn based gacha
>even FGO at least gives you 3 active skills and an ult per character
FGO is even more simple than SR.
Non AoE characters that can't loop are basically useless 99% of the time.
its the latter

CULTIVATION
EN Seele is not real! ONEGAI!
1.0 banners
1st half: Seele and her sign
2nd half: Jing Yuan and his sign
Just like in final beta
My f2p butt might not get Seele on the first run. I hope the banner wait is not horrible if that happens.
The twitch chat is so obvious it's bots, it hurts.
Playstation version confirmed
60 free standard tix, just like in final beta.
26 april
Why even bother with Playsation? none of the Genshin babies will play it
Still trying to reach out to wider audience I guess.
Considering that porting games are much easier now, it's not really that big of a bother.
Blacks
Probably money, both sides stand to earn and it's not inconceivable that Sony threw money at Mihoyo to have SR on PS after seeing Genshin's success.
>Dawei calles the launch rewards "measly 10 special passes"
>The same yellow Black person that had to have the entire plaerbase revolt against him just to get more than that for genshits annviersary
Well, he learned something out of it.
No he didnt lmao
when did that happen?
like 5 minutes ago
your just making shit up arent you?
no I was watching the japanese stream, if you didn't watch it stop replying to me
If you didn't watch Dawei's stream your rolls will be cursed
I'm not rolling for anyone anyway, none of the revealed characters appeal to me
oh, jp stream, yeah that makes sense
as for why, because they copied s-break mechanic from trails
i really doubt trails is the first game to ever have an out of turn ultimate button
And thats probably true, but its also the only/biggest franchise that does it that survived to this day. Its really no surprise, trails is popular in china and the fatui are literally chinese bootleg ouroboros
>trails is popular in china
it is? based chinese
rean in genshin when?
Star Rail collab seems more likely
yeah but rean in genshin would be funnier
I'd rather keep based Rean away from genshit, also Adol fits that one more
he does but rean in genshin would piss of rean haters and genshin haters, itd be funny
Falcom certainly wants it. Even if 5% of Genshin's playerbase gets interested into playing Trails that'd be at least 100x more sales. The entry level is too high for normalgays anyway, there are unironically too many Trails games.
>it is? based chinese
chinks are subhuman race but in this case, yeah its based, look up Clouded Leopard Entertainment, its the chink publishers for trails and why Hajimari, Kuro and Kuro 2 are playable on steam years ahead of NISA incompetent treatment of the series
>and genshin haters
Eh, not really? Genshit is a bad game but this would actually motivate me to play
well youre a based rean enjoyer, most people would mald
He did considering there are more free rolls now compared to the time of Genshin.
Why did they mention Nihon Falcom?
Delay is a good mechanic
Here it is. It's just a talk between producers.
https://twitter.com/houkaistarrail/status/1639243126887030784/photo/1
So, it's 20 rolls from preregister + these? How long does it take to get to level 15?
forgot pic
Okay, I'm moronic, it seems I can't post images.
so what was shown? any new characters? release date is confirmed 26 april?
First banner Seele, second banner Jing Yuan, release date 26 April and Preload date 23 April
Lame, another month of nothing. I knew there was no way they were doing a surprise early launch. This year has been sad for gacha so far. What happened to 1999 did that get canceled? Feels like it was announced ages ago and then nothing.
Well there is the bilibili gacha on April 4th but its by bilibili so I guess were still waiting for SR
20 standard tix from milestone (email)
Locked by progression and playtime
>10 limited tix for a week total of login
>Trailblaze level
5: 10 standard tix
15: 10 standard tix
25: 10 standard tix + 800 jade
35: 10 standard tix + 800 jade
40 standard tix total and 1600 jade (10 rolls) total
Total: 60 standard tix, 10 limited tix and 10 rolls on any banner
Its important to note we level up much faster than in Genshin, most active beta testers got up to 60 levels in a month
50? Absolutely.
60? You'd need to burn jades to refill stamina.
Ok so how many rolls do we get for rerolling? just 20? And we have to register ahead of time for that?
>Ok so how many rolls do we get for rerolling? just 20?
Yes, just 20 standard banner, so you can't reroll in the Seele banner without progressing further.
>And we have to register ahead of time for that?
No, it's for everyone even if you didn't pre-reg.
How much further time wise do you have to go to be able to roll for seele? How many rolls would we have at that point?
Just like Genshin, we get scraps from missions/quests so you'd need to go a bit deep to be able roll a couple times in the limited banner.
I miss sino alice more every day. The only gacha that respected the new players time.
already more generous than most jap trash
this game is going to mog all turn based gachas
lmaoa
keep laughing until your jap trash eos peasant 😉
lmao @ your life hoyodrone

Good job completely missing the reference.
the frick did you expect from a hoyodrone?
who cares about refernce to trash jap culture when all they do is trash as a people should just wipe them out of existence
u just mad hoyo is based and is going to be the face of /v /vmg and /vg

It's not good for your health to get this unhinged right before bedtime chang.

Rerollbros, what are your plans?
Depending on how much time it takes to get to level 15, I think it might be better to take multiple accounts to level 5 then log in daily for a week on each of them to reach the guaranteed on the starter banner.
I dont know rerollbro, I really want clara but it seems like they intentionally placed the rewards to make rerolling a grind
If what previous posters said was true I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and take the first cute girl I get. Not doing another 2 week grind like I did for genshit.
I'll probably set up a couple of emulotrs and use a macro to reroll, if I have the time and willpower.
Otherwise I'll do this
for a couple accounts, if there's nothing good I'll buy an account.
I guess the most comfortable way to reroll is to level up to level TB 15 and roll the newbie banner.
You are basically wasting a five star this way though
He may be, but the rates are just shit. I also don't feel like I'll be lucky to get an early 5* on standard.
I mean if you don't mind wasting time doing 30 minute rerolls then go ahead, but I'd rather do something more fun and enjoyable than that.
What happened to Six Gorillion pre-registration? It's like only 00000.1% of Six Gorillion showed up for the hype first Livestream.
>implying those on stream were even real humans
i will pick this up but i dont intend to play it for long
i like turn based games and love that this isnt some open world collectathon like genshin, but the character designs are meh
i dont feel strongly towards any of these, just like genshin and nu-hi3
will drop once zzz releases because i love the aesthetics its going for
bots, fake reg numbers
The character design is literally Genshin but better because they have more freedom with it, don't know what you are on about.
>overdesigned mess
>better
its just as bad because of nu-shittoyo
It's definitely better. If you want garbage then look at Honkai 3rd.
>overdesigned
Don't use words you don't understand.
God they look awful in that game, the newer ones are slightly better but the aesthetics are the reason why I never bothered with it.
>this character design from 4 years is not overdesigned so that means the rest of the game is fine too
have a nice day
because he's here to defend the company, duh
and you're here to shit on everything mihoyo to show the four dudes posting here how cool you are?
Im here because Im interested in a upcoming gacha but nothing I have seen so far impresses me(in fact, everything so far looks like its just genshin with e7 slapped on top), yet I can not form a final opinion until I have played the game myself
Why not take a trip then? Since you're so important and your opinion matters so much. Everyone's desperate to hear what you have to say and what you think about the game!
Now you are just getting pissy that I don't join the choir of people(?) that voices their excitement for the game in every post
>but better because they have more freedom with it
Why lie?
Bro, the characters don't comfort to some basic elements like Genshin, their damage is because of their weapon not some meme powers so yeah, their designs are more unique since not every fire character has to be red or orange to fit their element. And so are their weapons because they don't all have to fit one basic class. It's objectively more unique, cope and seethe.
i agree with the colors-elements part since that is such an obnoxiously bad part of genshin, but most of them are still overdesigned and follow some other design principles instead (asymmetrical capes, weird trinkets and straps all over the clothing)
>The character design is literally Genshin
I wish the character design was literally Honkai but I guess that is too much to ask for in a Honkai game. Cheers to more Genshin outside of Genshin I guess.
Honkai is dyke trash, I'm glad they're appealing to the fanbase that actually has their back.
>implying those homosexual would stop playing genshin for another game and a turn based at that.
>stop
why the frick would anyone stop? You realize you can play more than one game right? You don't have to stan one company/game and be a tribalistic b***h for that game all the time
Oh we'll see about that one.
Honkaigays hate everything that isnt honkai
It is amazing how much they hate the fact star rail exists or that it's turn based
>game has honkai in name
>has nothing to do with honkai
>"lololol why are are honkaigays mad?"
Cope and Seethe.
Star Rail will be the new face of Honkai while your dyke game falls further into irrelevance.
>You don't have to stan one company/game and be a tribalistic b***h for that game all the time
I'll take the "What is a genshin impact player?"
12 million were watching on Bilibili.
bro you were not supposed to point that out
the narrative....
So basically dead on global? Better install chink version on release nobody wants to be in a dead server

they've been here since last thread
Actually they're all over the site. I went to shit like /vrpg/ and /vst/ and they're there too, these people are hellbent on shitting anything mihoyo and anyone who enjoys it.
>I went to shit like /vrpg/ and /vst/
Anon can I ask you to answer this honestly? Did you try shilling mihoyo games on boards for legitimate games?
You act like this and you are surprised people here shit on you and the game?
>dude shitting himself and flinging shit all over the thread is some honkshitter mad that mihoyo is going turn based instead of action
rumao
rofl
>if you dont agree with me you must be the boogeyman inside my head
Take your meds
Have some pity for him. Mihoyo is leaving all his dykes behind and making them straight in their newer games so it's understandable why he feels like going on a crusade against them now.
Did they not teach you how to hide your samegay status in the hoyoshill bootcamp?
Still going to play star rail
Still going to enjoy it
And it's still going to become the new face of the Honkai Impact franchise!
>it's still going to become the new face of the Honkai Impact franchise!
Just like Dragalia Lost was the new face of cygames they even did the same toned down characters thing as well.
I don;t know about that on, this game is only getting a fraction of the attention WW is getting in china
Who Waves is going to compete against Genshit tho...
Doesn't matter I'm going to drop both when ZZZ release
based and same
zzz simply has the sexy aesthetic going on for it and i find the character designs appealing
the fact that zoomer morons are already filtered by the "roguelike" tv screen navigation gameplay is a plus
Yeah and it has the cute pink hair mesugaki from waterkuma which might be my seasonal waifu
until then I will kill time with ww and star rail (and hookpost in this thread)
>ZZZ
Sorry not into homosexual furries.
Ehh I am excited for Zenless just because I am expressing dislike for this game and the watered down genshin designs doesn't mean I hate the company.
no playable shota (not twinks) no play
cope and seethe hoyodrone
Going from zoomer action to turn based was the best decision they could have made to filter out all the zoomies
>tone down character designs and nerf breasts of previous honkai cast
>Basically make genshin but turn based
>lolololol based Hoyo is filtering the zoomies
???????????????
>Replaced haggy dykes with prime dicky
based tbh
no wonder the dyke impact thread is so dead with their shitposters here full time
Maybe you should stop adding to the shitposting here, it's not like this thread is teeming with life either.
No no, let him fight his imaginary battles, don't you see that he's clearly winning by responding to himself all the time?
>potato shit
are you a XIV reject or something?
said the schizoid sperging out that people enjoy the game in a thread for it
keep going, the longer your hissy fit, the less discussion there is
Nothing really to discuss anyway, just people excited for a game and the schizoid mad the game isnt zoomer action where every character is some ugly dyke with her breasts out.
Should be a lot more to discuss when the release date gets closer and there's actually things to discuss to the point where no whiny tantrum will stop it.
There was barely any discussion during this final closed beta, interest in the game is pretty low since its another generic autobattler, and you really think things will get better? I hope mihoyo pays you for your dedication
Keep going, your endless crying is good entertainment while we wait for the release date. You're powerless to stop anyone from playing or enjoying the game and your opinion doesn't matter or hasn't mattered to anyone ever.
>endless crying is good entertainment while we wait for the release date
So, safe to assume you have nothing better to do with your life than advertise for mihoyo?
>There was barely any discussion during this final closed beta
Because barely anyone here got in or or people who got in aren't here.
There was barely any discussion during Genshin's beta either compared to after it was released.
Can you homosexuals get a room
Potatobros what the frick do I do until April 26? Do I say frick it and download BA
Watch Galaxy Express 999 to get in the space adventure mood.
yes, BA is great
you sure you want a mihoyo chink playing it?
you're still seething about the game? damn
bump
Yeah, BA is cool.
Perfect as a side game too.
I pretty much ignored all the time limited harder content and still can save a lot of gems to roll characters I want.
I'm pretty glad Star Rail has a lot more dicky honestly.
Dyke impact was always about the hags and other ugly c**ts so I'm happy HSR has a bunch of e-girls, teens and flat girls.
so how many recycled body models is that, 2, 3?
Dunno, I lost count how many aponia clones the dyke game has but who cares about them anyway.
Calm down your china pride for a second and asnwer the question, how is the model reuse in SR?
Yeah, there's basically 2 dicky body type in SR.
The younger woman body model felt a bit of a waste though, it's too close to the older woman one, should have made it shorter for an older teen body.
You can just not open this general though, it's not like there's anything to talk about.
Oh yeah, the teen model seems virtually identical to the adult one.
Bro you are dreaming. This game has as many if not more hags.
Genshin taught me that potatophiles can live off literal scraps and still claim a game is catering to them.
In Genshin, the potato mode type is literally the least used model type to the point that there are as many 5* tall males (the 2nd least used model type) as there are playable potatoes in the game and it took Mihoyo 2 years to release a 2nd 5* potato yet they still keep acting as if the game is dicky impact.
holy frick this mans seething
dont worry bro, your dehya will stay shit forever.
Hagbros win again!!
Hagbros win simply by the fact that they don't have to worry about jail time
Better be at the jail than at a funeral
>still asshurt
Yeah, it's hilarious how asshurt this honkek is at people enjoying star rail.
bootlickers already defending a game thats not even released
everything wrong with the zoomer generation
they just cant take corpo wieners out of their mouths
A whole more month of banal trolling...
The wait better be worth it.
is the light cone from the prerelease event good?
It's good on characters that can charge ult very fast like Himeko, it's meh on all other characters (though it's better than equipping a 3 star light cone)
Are light cones like the weapons of this game?
Yeah but the catch is you can only use the type of class the light cone is on the type of class the character is (well you can still equip it and gain the stats but not the additional effect, unlike how bow users in Genshin can only equip bows and such) and the light cone banner is now 75 to 25
25 to guarantee a 5* light cone???
No, hard pity is at 80 but the chance of getting the banner light cone is 75 to getting a random standart banner light cone which is 25
That's like Genshin, provided there are also two in one banner.
bros my first star rail fap was bailu
I thought it'd be clara but the Bailu porn grabbed me by the dick and took my first
I found this
How's this for a tierlist? Any beta testers want to chip in with their opinions?
Bro I am not gonna do a replay of the discussion on /vg/
I rate it 3 prydwens out of 5
My favorite designs are always at the bottom of tier lists. Being a metagay is suffering.
>being a metagay is suffering because your characters are ugly
>being a waifugay is suffering because you get your shit kicked in in combat
playing gachas is suffering
Reposting this over here since it was discussed over on /vg/ a fair bit
https://rentry.org/mfqfr6
Wrote this based on discussions on last thread and info floating around. I didn't write it to be the guide maker or whatever, I wrote it mostly so I wouldn't forget because I'm 100% going to forget in a month by the time this comes out so if it helps out others then that's great then.
Honestly have no idea what to write about Himeko or Phys MC so I didn't.
Any opinions and stuff? Like I said, this is me mostly taking notes rather than making a strict tierlist of my opinions.
What nationality is Arlan? He's blacker than Sumeru characters in genshin.
He probably electrocutes himself all the time that's why his skin is dark
Pooland.
African American of course.

What to do on the 25th, honkbros?
I mean, April
By celebrating a bit of both and having consensual mating sex with Hook
Apparently hook is actually great?
Here
I'm still building Aslan...
rip you
Any CBT anons still in here to comment on this? Or did everyone go shitpost in vg
game is dead
nobody wants to play turn based games because its boring
They hyped it up but butchered the hype by releasing it a month later. Probably would be a dead game if it wasn't a israelitehoyo game
why do you guys instantly reply to bait posts but not gameplay posts
Not in the beta I have nothing to say about gameplay.
because he's a shill
gameplay no one gives a shit about vs bait literally engineered to attract responses, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Speak for yourself zoom zoom, some of us haven't had our dopamine receptors permanently fried by growing up with a tablet and tiktok since birth. Turn based is the thinking mans combat, not meant for children and the mentally handicapped.
Heaven Burns Red is doing great
well yeah but that is actually made by semi competent people, WFS
if WFS are semi competent then Mihoyo are ultra competent
its not april fools yet
WFS? competent? in what world? they're the same people that ran all their other games into the ground
>semi competent
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
that jap trashfire wished it was even 0.000000001% competent as mihoyo
come back when a wfshit pc port actually work oh wait
They do. Flawlessy. The JP ones that is.
The English Another Eden port is garbage, but that's not on wfs. The Japanese version has zero issues, just like HBR's.
>The Japanese version has zero issues,
The Japanese port of AE has had several problems like fricking up rates, having to take the game down for days to fix game breaking bugs and the hilarious powercreep that just absolutely killed the game. Shoumetsu toshi had the same issue too with israelite garbage, horrible powercreep and awful management.
Not only you start sperging out when someone insults mihoyo, you do it even when another dev is spoken about in a positive way. You truly are a bot
Danmachi was also wrightflyer and it's infamous for being an another eden clone where the devs don't give a frick and outright told people to go play something else if they didn't like the censorship. So many memes were made of that.
You are confusing crunchyroll with devs. I knew you were moronic but damn you want to double down on that?
I'm not the anon you're sperging at. I'm replying to the dude that looks like he's played a game or two here
and not the clown that has this thread open for the sole purpose of shitting on star rail and anyone attempting to discuss it. Did the /vg/ thread already 404 or something? I thought all the kids went over there.
If you need a safe space you can always frick off to reddit
If you want a space to shitpost and flame all you want, you can frick off to Ganker where you belong. But you wouldn't know that, tourist.
I don't think I will
No, you should. I implore you. Take the shilling schizo with you too for good measure.
Don't forget kuroshits who gloat about how MiHoYo has fallen just because they have the galls to try something that isn't an action RPG.
>just because they have the galls to try something that isn't an action RPG.
Actually its because regardless if they make a action rpg or turn based rpg, its a shitty game without a shred of originality
I don't think anyone actually shills anything Kuro, if you go to any pgr general then it's either doomposting on par with e7g or being excited but cautious about Wuthering Waves or whatever Kuro is putting out given that they play PGR.
Meanwhile if you go to /hig/ then it's schizophrenia deluxe with idiots seething about Star Rail's existence, seething about the fact about it's turn based and not action and desperately trying to drag the game down. I'd bet money this idiot is somewhere from there honestly.
You know you could just ask me, right? Haven't been to /vg/ in years. So you can take your boogeyman narrative and shove it
totally believe you bro
you're a native from one of the deadest boards on the site and dedicate your life to schizoing in threads when literally no other thread in vmg has this issue with some moron replying to every single post and seething that people are enjoying a game
you totally did not come from another board/general with an agenda and a burning hatred towards this specific game
I can't convince you, but it's the truth. If thats how you want to keep acting then the only conclusion we'll ever come to is you waking up with a scream because I get to live rent free in your head, and me laughing because of your conspiracy theory ramblings.
Why would anyone give two shits about some kid that decided to park himself in threads of games he hates and shit on everyone that dares to post or discuss it without his permission? Don't value yourself so highly, even garbage on the sidewalk has morevalue than you
Everyone's going to play the game anyway, everyone's going to discuss the game anyway and everyone's going to forget about your temper tantrums and b***h tears about how you hate mihoyo so much in seconds as they go on with their day
>Why would anyone give two shits
Then, why do you?
>doomposting on par with e7g
Not quite on that level although it does seem to be building there. They still don't have the utter disregard epic shitters have about their own game and general, which spends more time discussing doujins, novels, and anime than anything related to their game or any game for that matter.
It's just completely different going from pgr that seems a more down to earth general where people will be the first ones to shit on kuro vs something like hig where you need to be praising the company, game and story at all times or else you're an evil doomposting schizo
I enjoyed my time there a lot, the general has a healthy mix of mostly ironic doomposters, and measured fans, a surprisingly chill place overall.
>pgr general
That is unironically the most sane community out of anywhere. Every other youtube, social media or Chinese community has borderline fanatic superiority complexes.
That said, it is really humorous when the PGR general is the most sane place while you see PGR redditors claim that PGR is superior to AAA PC games and unironically bandwagon it.
>or Chinese community has borderline fanatic superiority complexes.
Honkai has it the worst by an entire light year. Like holy SHIT, that entire community has people writing entire fanfics, headcanons and papers on how the Honkai impact 3rd world is actually connected to every other game and has to abide to their rules while their mouth is busy fellating the story writers for writing the best piece of fiction ever made. They routinely shill their game everywhere and shit on others too, it's like a cult.
AK is decent, there's a fair amount of people that think it's the best game ever made but the honkai guys make them look like harmless kittens in comparison.
Genshin, I'd say the haters are more the problem because the community is really huge and very busy killing each other and jumping on each others throats to care about other fanbases. I would for once would love to go to a game's general and not have them be seething about genshin.
Like the TOF general for example was 50% seething about genshin, 40% eceleb drama and 10% being the actual game. I imagine the wuthering waves thread will most likely be the same too just like any thread where idiots can use genshin for free replies and free ammo against that game.
gfl's fanbase is pretty cult-like too with gunfans being an absolute plague and worshipping mica as their infallible gods
>their mouth is busy fellating the story writers for writing the best piece of fiction ever made
Kek you've clearly never been there, they fricking hate the story have hated it for a long time. Stop repeating shit you've heard on the telephone. It's hilarious how much honkai lives rent free in genshitters minds.
Sounds like you're the one that hasn't ever been there? That place spends every day discussing either Kolosten, Elysian Realm and the Finale arc while repeating the same ritual shitposts every day.
You are absolutely delusional if you think people are happy with the current story.
People might not be but everyone in that thread only ever circlejerks about how amazing the story, the game and mihoyo is. It's amazing how anyone can actually stand that place.
>every other community is the worst except for my favorite one
Ironic you can't see your own bias, you really should stop throwing stones you are going to break your glass house.
Which is my favorite one then? Go ahead, take a guess.
It's hilarious how much genshin lives rent free in honkshitters minds.
Nah Kurobros aren't doing anything, they had to deal with doomposters since the very first day, they would never go around pretending WW will kill Genshin or shit talking the game.
its just butthurt morons from /hig/ and /gig/
that place has the most vicious and dedicated shitposters
switch Arlan with herta and you have the CN 4* tierlist
>Got 6 gigs of phone space left
Nothing will go wrong
>4 gigs of phone space left
How big is this game again?
Probably 10 gigs to 20, which might grow as more areas get added
>just this + HI3 alone takes almost 50% of my phone space
bros. im ngmi
just uninstall HI3? games garbage anyway and much better shit is coming out
So who are you all rerolling for? I'll probably aim for Seele since she's limited and all.
If it's like genshin, I dunno if I have it in me to reroll.
You know. Only on phone and needing to play for quite a while..
It'll probably be more painful than genshin but it's more generous than genshin since you're guaranteed at least two 5*'s to start with because of Beginner banner 50-pity and Standard 300 pity.
You're not likely to hit the standard pity any time soon unless you're enough of a clown to waste rolls there but should eventually get to it and claim a free pick 5* from that pool.
Bronya probably, and will claim Himeko from the 300 pity. Seele is nice but I can probably get her by saving up even if I have to skip this banner of hers. The only limited 5* I want from those revealed are her and Kefka after all. And even then, I don't want Seele that much honestly.
Wouldn't it be better to reroll for Seele and grab Bronya later down the line? Kafka isn't the first or second banner so she shouldn't be coming for like a month or two which means plenty of time to save.
I want both Bronya and Himeko. And unlike Seele, there is no way to guarantee either besides the one time 300 pity.
I've been obsessively collecting all information I can about this game so I can be fully informed on what to do when the game comes out even though I didn't make it into any beta
I thought the maze was a blizzard thing but I can see now that we are all in the maze. Some are so lost deep in the labyrinth they have started to confuse it with true reality.
The /vg/ thread really has it bad. The ban evading hardcore yurigay is shitting all over it.
Oh great. You-know-who found it.
Yeah, that makes sense.
People make comparisons to free to play MMOs in the past but they never got to the level as bad as Chinese Gachas in their home country.
It's like they are in a clique, one schizo leaves, and another takes his place.
Yeah, that's why I'm here and not there.
I wonder if HSR's fanbase will be swallowed by 3rd's godawful fanbase or if it'll manage to stand on its own two feet and be decent
We will have to wait and see. Right now the generals are not a good representation of the overall audience because only the tryhards and the HI3gays are posting in these threads. Still though, the fact that discussion is relatively decent when an external schizo isn't shitting all over the place is a good sign, especially since the new crowd isn't even really posting here yet. And truth be told, HI3 isn't big enough to swallow this game.
/hig/ already ruined the /vg/ thread, and I don't think this game can handle an active Ganker thread.
Is a shame.
I hope the story is good
Honkai's story was completely awful and devoid of any stakes or satisfaction and Genshin plays it really safe so I hope it's a fun read and not a tragedywank like every other chinese game
I've enjoyed the story thus far that has been in the betas. While I wouldn't call it a "tragedy-wank," it does lean more on the HI3rd side than the GI side. Spoilers for the first planet, Jarilo-VI:
You go to a planet that, due to the effects of a Stellaron, has been covered in an eternal winter. The team of protagonists offer their services to seal away the Stellaron to the queen of the planet, only for the queen to betray them and try to have her guards arrest the protagonists. After some investigation and the help of the queen's daughter, you find that the queen's mind has been altered by the Stellaron, which promised her the means to save her people, so she sees any threat to the Stellaron as a threat to her people, despite the opposite being the case. The protagonists eventually kill the queen and seal the Stellaron, but the queen's daughter decides to tell her people that the queen died a noble death in the fight to seal the Stellaron in order to preserve her legacy and honor.
>it does lean more on the HI3rd side than the GI side.
So nothing happens, everyone's gay and all things get magically solved without consequences or stakes?
>everyone's gay
No, the game is still very much modeled after Genshin. With it basically pandering to everyone at the same time while committing to nothing. But the story is indeed more reminiscent of Honkai in its darker themes.
That's what I was getting at though. Honkai 3rd doesn't have darker themes.
It tries to tease dark themes or pretend bad things will happen but in the end nothing happens, everything gets solved by a convenient plot device out of absolutely nowhere and if anything bad actually and truly happens then it gets retconned later on or fixed later on by some asspull.
I mean Bronya's mom died, that's not exactly a convenient end. What more do you want?
>I mean Bronya's mom died
thats part of her backstory, not something that happened in the actual story.
I am talking about Star Rail, her adoptive mother dies during the story. That was no happy ever after end.
Oh star rail. Yeah, I hope the story is good and not an actual mess like their previous work but it's too early to tell since it took Honkai like two years for Final lesson and it also took Genshin almost two years for the story to be worth reading.
So does anyone that played the beta have a rough estimate as to how many limited rolls you get by the end of the tutorial?
you get one roll thats it, good luck.
Wow that's worse than Genshin. I am gonna be coping that we are gonna get a bit more at launch otherwise I am just rerolling the standard banner.
I think by the end of the 6-weeks-ish long beta I had done 140 limited character banner pulls. I could've gotten more if I no-lifed Hall of Forgotten Memories.
Oops, sorry, I missed the "tutorial" at the end of your post. If memory serves, not many. It mostly gives you standard pulls in the beginning so you can dump into the beginner banner.
>genshit fanbase
>not the absolute worst thing there is
I wonder who's behind those posts
The spirit of barry lives on in every slurper. Too many people invest their own personality and self worth into games and the companies that make them.
Any criticism of the game in question they take as a personal attack against themselves. It's quite sad really and only serves to perpetuate the sad state of gaming.
They are so mazed they can't even see that they are making the games they love worse by being unable to look at them with a critical eye.
You are giving Barry way too much credit by associating him with every single moron on this Mongolian basket weaving forum. He is just another moron, let him stay that way, don't glorify him.
the only thing this thread is showing me is that all mihoyodrones are insuferable lmao

DPS rankings
Wtf mihoyo?!?
The himecope is eternal
>Go to this site's tier list
>Arlan ranked above Yanqing
>Go to this site's DPS simulation
>Arlan sims as doing far less damage than Yanqing, while also requiring saccing his health to do so
Whoever runs this site is stupid.
Isn't arlan literally trash though
Yes. They tried to make him the "berserker" character, kinda like HuTao, who saccs his own health to deal increased damage, but his stats are so low he's not worth using over the other 4* damage-dealers, let alone the 5*s.
I think they were just afraid of making another HuTao, so they tried to undertune him, but went overboard.
>Whoever runs this site is stupid.
Prydwen has a terrible reputation on most places if I recall correctly. They do moronic things and make up numbers then people call them out and things get fixed after pretty much outsourcing everything and having non-moronic people unfrick their stuff.

There's this too

Whatever, it's information and I'll take anything that feeds me the info I want.
That's the same thing from the Pridwen guy...
Yeah, because he IS the prydwen guy but the video adds a lot of context
>I'll take anything that feeds me wrong information
dude you're literally asking to be brainwashed
>asking to be brainwashed
thats a prerequisite to enjoy mihoyo's shovelware
Why is it wrong then? Can you explain why it's wrong using your words?
NTA, but those sims take some assumptions that are unrealistic. For example:
1: It does not account for Seele's extra turns from killing enemies, something that will come into play in almost every fight in the game. Even primarily single-target bosses almost always have at least 2 adds.
2: For Sushang, he assumed she will be able to take full advantage of her passive that only trigger after she inflicts physical break. Against enemies that don't have a physical weakness, she falls off a cliff.
3: For AoE, he only counted 3 targets. There are a lot of fights where you're up against 4-7 enemies at once, so simming with only 3 targets give an unfair advantage to enemies that primarily do blasts, rather than full AoEs, which is why Serval is shown as above Himeko.
That's a lot better, I want to discuss things and talk about the game so thanks for explaining your point of view.
As for the actual point: Yeah, I think the sims and damage charts is pretty dumb since damage sims usually only compare damage between characters under perfect conditions and real world conditions will never be that perfect but I think the video listed here does a good job of explaining what the character does and how they work (
)
The teambuilding video seems to do a good job of explaining skill points and how to actually build a team too since nobody has explained that yet or even talked about it.
And if there's a lot of fights with 4-7 enemies at once then I imagine characters like Clara will be gods in there if you can get all 7 to attack her for the fat counters.
I wouldn't say there's "a lot" of battles with 4-7 enemies, but there's enough that assuming every AoE encounter has only 3 is silly. For example, there is a boss that can summon 6 adds at once. Granted, each of these adds is very weak, so you'll likely only require one or two damage instances to kill each one, but chewing through all of them with single target or blast abilities would take significantly more turns than a single AoE.
As for Clara, yes, in fights with a lot of adds she's very useful, but there is a caveat. When she uses her ult and Svarog's counters get buffed, she only gets two uses of this. Additionally, it turns Svarog's counter into a blast ability for those two instances, which can kill adds that haven't attacked yet, which will reduce her overall damage.
I will also give this guy credit, he did teach me something I didn't realize: That Arlan's skill doesn't consume skill points. As I don't like HP-saccing characters I never really tried him out, so I just assumed it consumed his health and a skill point, rather than just his health, as I don't believe the game states anywhere that his skill doesn't consume skill points. That honestly does make him a lot more viable than I initially thought.
Really informative post anon
Can't believe preconne eos. Feel really bad for them, but might give this game a bigger boost. Going to be a lot of refugees looking for a new home.
A ton of shit is getting killed recently.
I'm mad girl cafe gun never had a chance. It had unique gameplay and an interesting world. But the stupid name alone and zero advertisement killed it.
First time I even heard of it, and with that name even if I did, I probably wouldn't have bothered. They seem to have really dropped the ball with marketing for that one.
Oh I tried that. The gameplay immediately looked like "hey, what if BA had you actually control your chars", and it played as awfully as I could've said when someone just mentions that idea.
It's a fricking touch screen. The game could've been good with a controller and/or on PC, but on a phone? No. And it also doesn't help that the game needs you to "head pat" one of the girls in the prologue as well. I quit there and never looked back. Not even the most awful self insert shit ever REQUIRED me to do this shit, and then in the prologue already?
Not gonna say advertising wouldn't help or whatever, but there's definitely other things.
>And it also doesn't help that the game needs you to "head pat" one of the girls in the prologue as well. I quit there and never looked back. Not even the most awful self insert shit ever REQUIRED me to do this shit, and then in the prologue already?
Ok you're weird that's some autistic shit to get upset over. But you aren't wrong the gameplay would have been much better on a console. Could have sold it as the weeb alternative to Contra.
>Feel really bad for them, but might give this game a bigger boost
people played pricon for cute girls, what makes you think they'd play something with mihoyo's shitty designs and male characters
In a sinking ship you'll grab ahold of any driftwood that passes by. Not like global gacha players have a lot of good options.
>In a sinking ship you'll grab ahold of any driftwood that passes by.
You could also delude yourself and pretend your ship isn't sinking and will last 10 more years.
Works for nearly every single dying game out there.
They could go play JP version right now, or Blue Archive, right now. But nah, I'm sure people will wait a month to join a game with more copy-pasted character models and genshint-tier grind. Oh you delusional moron
>MIHOYO GOOD
>everything else bad
+1 social credit added to your account
No it's new thing good old thing bad. Because people are always more interested in something new than something they already know. Learn basic human psychology.
can you even shit rail new? All of the games elements are recycled from somewhere else
I really appreciate your dedication to shitting up this game's discussion on both vg and here.
But I'll still play it and enjoy it.
blink twice if the CCP agent is holding a gun to your head
Everything is recycled from something else. There is nothing new under the sun. It's all just the same puzzle pieces rearranged a little bit.
>mihoyo's shitty designs
Are we gonna pretend now that their designs are better lmao. It's some of the most soulless crap I have seen in a while, Star Rail at least looks unique (and has actually good looking women instead of a bunch of moe blobs).
the leaks are exciting
i am gonna save everything for my wife fuhua
What leaks?
>thread dies
>see that the zzz one became active all of a sudden
>it's more shitflinging amongst hoyogays
Just fricking make a Mihoyo thread you gays
>Just fricking make a Mihoyo thread you gays
There is one and it's on /vg/
The ""Star Rail general"" barely ever talks about star rail and it's just trannies from /hig/ shitflinging with schizos from /gig/
Its basically what the old hoyoverse general was: Zero discussion and a thread kept alive on waifuposting and shitflinging
The thread is dead because everyone has moved on to /vg/ moron
I'm staying here. I want to discuss star rail, not shitfling with schizos every day.
Can someone who got into the CBT and tested Heard tell me if using his ultimate again while it's shield is still active refreshes the DMG absorption and duration or if it adds to the previous ones?
I meant Gepard.
