| azuarc 01/20/22 11:13:41 AM #2 | I had assumed from watching footage that this was mostly a roguelike just because the gameplay reminds me of every overhead dungeon-crawling roguelike I've ever seen. It certainly might be fun, and I respect what Drinkbox puts out, but I was going to wait until I heard some acclaim for it. I guess this counts as the first bit of acclaim. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. |

| Topic | Think of a playable video game character... |
| azuarc 01/18/22 2:34:32 PM #11 | No, but I originally thought of some of the Genshin cast before changing my mind, and there are people who have already spent at least $1000 on those. If you include maxing their signature weapon and getting support characters, I can see how a whale could claim they've spent $5k toward a single character. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. |

| azuarc 01/12/22 1:53:59 PM #489 | swordz9 posted... I feel like I need to look at the best characters to build my DPS around still. I just toss together random stuff that likely isnt ideal like my main world team of Eula/Noelle/Fischl/Xiangling lol Assuming you don't have Raiden, obviously keep Fischl. I prefer Diona to Noelle for shields, but a shield is important if you have Serpent Spine...if you don't, a bit less so. You probably also want someone to fill in the downtime period on Eula's burst, although with how hard she hits, there's no reason you can't just keep Eula out there. (Again, this is what Raiden is good for.) changmas posted... i'm up to about 60 rolls in pity, wondering if i should be prioritizing the zhongli rerun or the leaked raiden shogun rerun on 2.5 (if i can win the 50/50) For an average account, I would say Zhongli. However, if you're running Eula, specifically, that might tip the scales since she's the one team that Raiden fits into besides R-National. I don't know anything about this supposed shield-clobbering, but I can understand why they might do so from a design perspective. Also, they've been systematically clobbering what Venti is good at after he was so absurdly dominant in the first 8 months of the game, so it honestly wouldn't surprise me. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. |

| azuarc 01/12/22 11:19:25 AM #481 | Climbing mushrooms aren't *too* big a deal as long as you make a quick circuit around Springvale every few days. There are more in Mondstadt proper and on some buildings around Dawn Winery, but that's more trouble than it's worth. There are seven on one of those windmills, though. Onikabuto is tougher. They're not as centralized. They feel like they're everywhere as you wander Inazuma, but we haven't done much of that in a while, and until Itto's release, they also didn't have much of a purpose. I definitely value the treasure compasses, though, even if they're a bit challenging to use sometimes. I'd offer to let you join my world and farm if you wanted, but I don't think we're the same world level. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. |

| azuarc 01/10/22 11:24:54 PM #7 | Story is not the game's highlight, but I loved the game itself. If I allow the in-level design and worldbuilding to count as story, though, which I think is warranted here, particularly on the time-flip mission and with the alternate fates to the bosses... 7.5/10 --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. |

| azuarc 01/07/22 9:51:18 AM #446 | I'm definitely more interested, gameplay-wise, in Yun Jin. But we'll get a free Liyue character and I have basically no reason not to pick her with that. I'm also not thrilled with a DEF-scaling character after Husk is out, but I might just browse my random DEF junk if it comes to that and not worry about set bonus.

Which one's entirely on you to decide. One does physical and the other does geo, so neither has a ton of elemental support available. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. |
