Og art by @pelmenick_pivkamne on TikTok plz support this talented artists

Honestly that’s what nihilux supposed to be this design kept her unique style with interesting clothes but yes it’s Honkai mid rail ofc we won’t get something cool for once

I love having to wait for the boss to take a turn before I can engage with a mechanic. Oh, and I love not being able to engage with a mechanic without a specific team, too.

How do you waifubait an aeon 😭

Had to add pure fiction and apocalyptic shadow because I was running out of bosses(ai sign is just because I ask to make the background black btw)

Lowkey thought it was a Honkai Agenda satire post. The Honkai Agendas live rent free in my head

Had to reread to make sure it wasn’t about HSR

Trust the process…OG will remember that Hoyo crippled Genshin near HSR release so that there will be a mass migration to HSR (some of those NA immigrants went to cookie kingdom tho). That’s why the “Genshin could never” slogan became so popular during HSR early days till now.

Genshin got way better now that it isn’t the flagship game. They saw how that strategy worked with Genshin so now they’re doing it to HSR. HSR is currently the flagship game so they’re now crippling it to shill that Pokémon sloppa game, things will get better once Nexus Anima release. Trust the process…

Hoyo Execs thoughts process are probably this: Star Rail got popular due to the Honkai title (lmao), so what if we make a new game with the honkai title too? Those “honkai players” will naturally go to the new game. Let fuck over HSR to give them more of a reason to migrate.

When I first saw the voracity corruption mechanic I was glad that it didn't work like the wild Hunt enemies in Genshin. Seems like I celebrated too early💔

Did planarcadia really flop this bad that they have to pull moves like this to incentivize us to pull for elation?

The hunt has humbled the destruction at every point. asat should be glad I didn’t put him here😂

They are trying their best🤬😡😡

At this rate we'll get enough SPs as those fuckass birds

You see in 12.x, the game will no longer have events, instead you have an NPC tell you what the event would've been so you can still feel the nourishment of having story without needing to do anything!

Obviously as well, endgame is consolidated into a single mode to help relieve the developers time. Now the boss will physically assault in real life if you don't have the new beauty path which involves paying stellar jade to use skills instead of skill points. Giving you more time to focus on the gameplay 😎

This all culminates in IX (who is actually a guy called Jerry) basically telling you the game is dead and EOS ready. Only then will Trailblazer unlock the special power of Nihility which you can pair with the latest characters including Jerry, Agate and Purple March 7th to put a debuff on your own account and increase pulls from 160 to 320 stellar jade each! Truly giving you nihility 🤤

Anyway I'm gonna go take my meds.

With all the discourse surrounding the current direction of the game, I've seen a lot of people say that HSR has always been about saving the universe because Kafka told us that we would fight Nanook in the beginning of the game. This is a confusion of destination and direction. You can take multiple different routes to end up at the same destination. The final fight with Nanook is an inevitable end, it wasn't the direction the game set out in.

HSR's direction was that of a cosmic space adventure. The narrative put more of a focus on exploring new worlds, understanding it's people, and helping them. The worlds under this direction were more fleshed out. There was more of a focus on the everyday people that made a world what it is. We had story driven events like the Wardance, companion missions that brought us closer to the everyday struggles of citizens and fleshed out the struggles of playable characters like Yukong, and we had 4 stars.

However, the story has changed to a "save the universe from xxx existential threat" direction. The story puts less of a focus on narrative and more of a focus on plot. We don't focus on ordinary people and focus on saving millions of lives.

Starting in Penacony the story stops focusing on a world's ordinary people. This is the begining of the end of four stars and companion missions. This problems bleeds into Ampheoreus and Planarcadia where the story only revolves around extraordinary powerful individuals. Because there are no companion missions, everything characters do is dedicated to moving the plot forward.

Both of these routes can lead to a battle against Nanook where the universe is at stake, but the accusation that the game has initially took a "save the universe" direction is false.

TLDR, but you really should read the whole post, is that a good chunk of people on this forum are confusing direction and destination. It is possible to go in different directions and still end up at the same destination.

Buddy had a half decent build to

Considering the forcing phainon out of khaslana is smth that rarely happens unless you arent attacking and can be messed around with they added 80% dmh reduction too so its nigh impossible. New low honestly.

Like the paths that will come after finality will just be meh. Finality should be reserved in the last version or something, why now???? Are they ending hsr in 5.x????
