State of the game now? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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?

I just jumped back in after an extended break for The Herta. Lingsha is also on the banner currently if you wanted to pull for her. Overall it feels like it's in a good place though

NOW?? Fuck bro, running in wallets blazing

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?

[–] bossjack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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!
