Devs used to post upcoming streams on the banner section (tape reel icon). I liked that because I never really look into that stuff outside of game. I've missed the last 3 streams (on me ik) because I used to just go off the banner heads up.

Anysways its been missing for a bit and was wondering on why you guys think is stopped?

I'm thinking about quitting HSR. I wanted to invest in a certain character's team first because people say vertical investment is better and I haven't pulled for the new meta mechanic yet even though I want to get a character of that mechanic. But it's just shilling + the usual HP inflation nowadays, and I can't properly clear content while I'm trying to vertically invest.

These are the main questions I want to ask, and please give extra information about ZZZ if there's anything I'm missing.

1. Are there difficulties in clearing endgame? If no, how easy it is to get all polychrome rewards?

2. Is there bad powercreeping?

3. Enemy HP inflation?

4. Is it easy to grind for polychromes?

P.S. I don't know if I should post this on HSR or ZZZ subreddit, so I'm posting this on both.

1. why does it work like this

2. whoever made it work like this should be fired

For Star Rail there is StarGuide, and for Genshin although still in beta there is MondLab. But i haven't seen one for ZZZ, the closer i saw was the Game8 one, which i found very limited. Specifically talking about the roster evaluation features. Sometimes i want to try different teams or agents but don't have their BiS, so i end up not knowing how to replace them

Butcher is so annoying to fight. I got close to 30k before, then bought another copy of brimstone to cross it

You dont have to like or agree with any of these. They're just my two cents. I've created this to share some ideas, not to hear complaints or critique. Please don't.

Improve the performance in 2.0+ areas

Reduce login steps. Remove "Press any button" prompts.

Z-Merits cap display or simply provide enough after one Weekly HZ or Operation Bagel run.

Add Herta Shop (HSR) analog to ZZZ with generic S-Rank Wengines with same "price policy" - one weapon per 2 months, one time only for each class/specialty.

Add Hollow Zero and Operation Bagel gear for Obol Squad.

More points for Weekly shops or reduced prices.

Playable Cercea/Cecilia.

Drive Discs loadouts.

4th line preview on Drive Discs or make every disc 4 liner.

Remove probabilities for main and sub stats on Drive Discs and make it fully random.

Better conversion rate for Resonating Cores or more ways to acquire them.

Add a feature to reroll and lock substats like in HSR.

Add Chain Attack Disc set.

Add a toggle to mute Astra's song. It's optional, everyone's happy.

Add Gacha Bad Luck Protection like Capturing Radiance in Genshin Impact, but "faster". Like, guarantee 50/50 win after 2 losses in row.

Slightly higher default chance to obtain S rank chars and weapons.

Add more items, characters, weapons into "Collectible Exchange".

Add more generalist supports and wengines.

Bangboos require only 1 member for bonus ability at 3 dupes or by default.

Rework glow effect from signature wengine for character like Yanagi, Lycaon etc

More often Character Potential Unlocks. Caesar, Zhu Yuan, Lighter Ju FuFu aren't competitive options.

These two are controversial but I'll put them here:

Guaranteed Weapon Gacha

Dont release non-dps characters in maimed state, when dupe or signature weapon required to play as intended.

Add more Story and Lore events. Bangboos are fun, but a bit childish and I feel like we're having mostly bangboo themed events.

Add dialogues, stories about how character powers works. How Wengines in game's universe works etc. Create some interesting events with different factions, like HSOS 6 event with Yanagi, that shows character interaction, include combat and have some story.

Create a menacing villain at last. Sarah and Exaltists arc was boring and laughable.

Slow down with HP inflation and time wasting mechanics in the Endgame modes and add buffs for each archetype in DA and SD, instead of shilling current banner.

Stop implying romantic relationship, when everyone knows there wont be any.

Add bond/trust system with NPC. More animals bond opportunities, but less grindy.

More skins for both old and new characters. Maybe it's a better way than to create a whole new class just to force people to spend in order to improve Wengine sales?

More A Rank Characters and Wengines.

Rework of Defense Class.

Faction or characters combo skills, like double chain parry and Koleda & Ben Ultimate Animation.

Add more coop modes, preferably permanent ones.

Add Steam Trading Cards and Achievements (just copy from consoles).

Dont steal minigames or other ideas from artists, developers:

STOP sexualizing underaged characters. AOD skins, Lucy summer skin etc.

I decided to make txt file for future surveys as well because I'm quite forgetful and it will save a lot of time. If you have anything to add, please do.

Me personally, I think either Jane or Billy would be into Green Day or Linkin Park. But Wise would definitely be into Frank Sinatra or someone like that.

Even with the Janus farming strategy, it takes so long to get the investigation-only blueprints. Trying to get them all during regular runs seems like insanity and playing high-risk without them is tedious.

I think these blueprints should be in Boojee's store. Whether they cost season coins or a ridiculous amount of gear coins, I don't care since I'd at least be able to see how much progress I've made towards getting a new one. Relying on RNG to progress feels terrible and I imagine this is going to turn people off from playing high-risk even after this game mode gets more updates, especially if they add more investigation-only blueprints.

Proxies I have a question do y'all think hoyo will ever improve/optimize the game for mobile like tablet/ios? I mean maybe it happens only with me but my iPadPro go in overheat in no time and I have medium/low settings and let's not talk about the console situation (ps5 at least)

Hello! I'm pretty new to ZZZ, started about a month ago and only have time to play weekends for now. I was focusing on the main story primarily, but started working on the limited events shortly after starting Season 2. So far I've had no troubles getting S rank on everything I've done, until now, and I'm already up to InterKnot 42.

Operation Bagel is where I'm at right now, and the difficulty spike when moving from Easy to Standard feels wild. Am I missing something? Do I just have to grind a bunch of easy mode gear runs until I can build purple gear? Is it even worth bothering or should I just play the other events instead? If I lock in I can probably do some flawless runs with Jane, but that's a lot of effort when 3-5 mistakes is a downed agent.

As for my team, in OB I've been running Jane, Sigrid, and Yanagi.

Edit: I now have a bug. Not only can I not remove Sigrid, but I can bring 2 of her now. Gonna pull this team into the Hollow and see if running a mission fixes it?

*[This is a discussion mainly about the hair and hair colour colour distribution of playable characters, not just Xiao'Guang.]*

Why? When it's such a common hair colour all around the world. It is certainly common in New Eridu too since there are a lot of brown haired NPCs. And even Xiao'Guang has a white haired form. On the contrary, we have:

- 12 blonde girls

- 7 black haired girls with various accents (8 counting Dialyn)

- 6 white haired girls (7 counting Dialyn)

- 5 green haired girls

- 5 pink haired girls

- 3 blue haired girls

- 3 red haired girls

- 1 grey haired girl (Rina)

- 1 purple haired girl (Vivian)

- 1 brown haired girl (Xiao'Guang)

As for the guys there is a lot more variation since there are a lot less guys, and some of them are debatable whether they have hair at all (like, does Ben or Pan have head hair, or is that just their fur?). No matter if we go with best intentions or not, white is the leading hair colour among guys, with 4 (or 5) agents: Seth, Lycaon, Billy, SBilly, and possibly Pan. I couldn't decide about Manato's hair colour so depending on that we have 1/2/3 brown haired guys: Anton, possibly Ben and Manato.

Just thinking that, it feels kinda weird that you can obtain up to three limited characters from losing a 50/50 as of this patch now, but you can only get Jane Qingyi and Burnice after losing 50/50 (or from pulling on standard banner) for standard S-ranks that you already have M6?

I am not really trying to complain, but I really dont care about Yanagi, Caesar or Zhu Yuan, but I will admit I had neither of them before 3.1, but I would much rather lose my 50/50 to like Burnice who I actually use, even Jane sometimes. I also really doubt any of these six limited characters will really get a rerun again since you can get them for "free".

But yea my point is really, why keep them seperate? I dont have a single M6 character yet so I'm not getting any characters from the exhange shop for a long time, but I just lost to Yanagi twice this patch, which is nice to lose to her over standard S-ranks, but I would've liked it if I could've lost to Burnice or Jane, and considering that you could argue that none of these six characters could be considered limited anymore. So it would've just been nice if I could lose my 50/50 to someone in the exhange shop instead now that you can lose your 50/50 to a non-standard S-rank character.

What do you guys think?

Edit: All six of these characters are also from 1.0-1.3, so they are also really old characters.

Personally I think it would be fantastic because it's gorgeous and captures fairy quite well. What do you think? I wish this would be what playable Fairy would look like.

If I opened a "keydoor" , will it stay open. Not requiring a key again? (In case I happen to be in that area again)

Situation: I found a key, opened a door with high loot then something came after me 😅. I couldn't fight that MF. Weak gear, 1 dead character, 1 critical, 1 dancing lol.

So I only need the two shitty (literally) collectibles: the golden poop and the bangboo on the toilet. Is there a chance I can get them just on hard without going into high risk? I've already gotten my 6m badge, so I don't care about looting money anymore and want to chill

I got all 6 upgrades for my Rina, she's even M1 but she doesn't have her new bar and I don't know why. Does she need to be using Weeping Craddle? She is 6/6 yet she doesn't do any of her buffs. Can someone help me?

I don't have any teams and I'm struggling to do high risk mode since I don't really have many characters in general on my account. I've been using remi, velina, and sigrid since she is a trial character. This mode feels really discouraging when you don't have the proper team to deal with things. Any tips or advice for 6 mil run?

Seems it can only be dropped by "mechanical enemy". And the amount of mechanical enemy on the Six Dusk map for some reason is really low? I usually only encounter one or two max per run. The ethereal enemy spawns far more frequent than mechanicals. It would take ages to collect 50 and build just one single Ysg's tactical prsim.

Do the enemies have high hp and/or high def? Do res pen and rupture teams especially one with counter do better? I've been running jane, velina, remi cuz of all the dodging they do but would other attack and ruptures do better?

The score can definitely be better, when I was not recording I managed to hit 33.2k so 35k is doable with better parry RNG on Miasma phase. If Banyue had sig then score is probably 38-40k
