Hey y'all, I dropped the game right after penacony finished, and I know that there's a story in the Luofu and Amorphous (?) is next. I was really considering getting on and pulling Fugue since I like her design but I'm broke xd.

Main thing I would like to know is mechanics updates and meta engines. When I left, the break engine teams had just taken off (my E2 firefly still smashes everything) and my follow up RRAT (Ratio, Robin, Aventurine, Topaz) was heavily falling off. Damn I should've pulled for Lingsha damn.

I heard about Rememberance path, I just heard summons buff so like Jing Yuan/Topaz stuff ig?

Amphoreus is v3.0. Haven't seen it for myself yet but a chief complaint sticks out: The cutscenes like to fade to black and tell instead of showing characters do fun/cool things. Otherwise its been quietly positive.

Fugue has also been gone since 3.0 dropped. Grind and wait for a rerun I suppose.

Remembrance seems to be the new meta going forward but its not like your teams will become useless. Strong but no longer the strongest. (As a guy who still uses DoT.)

As another commenter pointed out, Lingsha is rerunning right now alongside Feixiao and Topaz.

The fade to black thing has always been a thing in HSR, so I dunno why people are bringing it up now. Maybe it sticks out more in 3.0 because of its more action-adventure plot?

It's probably a lot of small things adding up. ZZZ, WuWa, hell even the game itself has been adding characters with big flashy animations. I guess players just want more visually engaging storytelling on top of visually impressive combat.

Again I haven't seen the new stuff for myself yet so just treat me like a parrot.

Because Wuthering Waves isn’t abusing it is the main reason I see people bring it up.

After having finally played through Amphoreus... yeah. That's it. It's a very action-adventure plot that doesn't work very well in HSR's... engine? It felt incredibly underwhelming to read about how Triannon (or however you spell the teleporter girl's name) opens a Gate to take you to the next area, it just quietly fades into black and out of black. Not even a sound effect to give the slightest assist to a really dull moment. And for some reason HSR doesn't have a mostly-black loading screen to mask short loading screens. so it breaks immersion pretty frequently in a way that's a little annoyingly jank each time.

FEIXIAO TOO?? That's like the single thing that would boost the FUA team...Thank you!
