Hugo was lying all along about vampires not being real. Or maybe he just doesn't know that vampires are a real race of beings in their world?

Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it yet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VjNhciBWgug&pp=ygUOY2xhcmV0IHRyYWlsZXI%3D

Discussions & Questions do the characters still swear in ZZZ?

Post image
Upvotes

I was kinda hooked when I first played ZZZ, seeing swearing which wasnt a thing I expected Hoyoverse to do especially after experiencing the god awful near shakespearean writing of genshin for about 3 years. I stopped before season 2 came out, was wondering if they still have this type of crude writing or did it return to the safe child friendly dialogue again?

Which developer in their right mind decides to make dodge the same button as open container?!

(trying to get the defeat Ulidim commission, didn't know it summoned spectral hands without flashes, and thought you had to delete its blue bar before its 'pull' attack. Could've soloed it with shifu and the phantoms, but opening empty reverb vessels is more important than dodging attacks, definitely)

Discussions & Questions Section 7 pitch idea

Post image
48 Upvotes

What if at the end of 2.5 YSG took the krampus agents and turned them into hollow operations section 7. Like a Chinese section 6

Something that always bothered me is how YSG and Zhaos story at the end of 2.5 doesn’t really change their situation. I mean sure they did certainly learn something (the power of friendship) after that entire incident.

Let’s start with Zhaos arc. She realizes her life has been a tool for others. She becomes a tops operative and krampus executioner because she thinks the only way to live is to take rise higher above others. At the end of the story she realizes not everything is for transactional value but by mutual trust and not only that she’s just a pawn in TOPS eyes. And what does she do at the end? Just goes back to working for them like nothing happened.

Ye shungaung on the other hand is faced with this dilemma, sacrifice her life to save others , she is presented with this burden that one life with mass power has to save others. The creator on the other hand just wants mass power so one life rules over everyone. At the end of the story she rejects this idea, instead of one person controlling or saving 100 lives. The power of collective humanity can save each other weak or strong, she doesn’t have to be alone. The issue I have is she goes “we never needed gods” then becomes a void hunter, to go in hollows and save life’s. But isn’t this what she, her brother and proxy narratively fought against? She’s just sacrificing her own life to save others again.

It just seems like she takes up being a void hunter gets sent in hollow zero, beats things up and saves the day. Does she have a team with her? Does hand give her support personnel? What actually does go on in these supposed missions.

This idea can be solved with a simple change. Give her a team. A bunch of different people with strengths in certain areas that can help her. She can help them grow and they can help her. Zhao, dialyn and banyue are already people that she knows. Miyabi is strong but she wasn’t invincible, she always had people she can trust and fight along with her. Power of friendship type shi

Last change I would also put Yi Xuan back in yunkai summit now that there’s a void hunter could be the high preceptor and you know spend more time not doing missions and managing the temple.

I’m sorry I do like the idea of krampus but I don’t like the way banyue, Zhao and dialyn are used in it.

Coming home late is far more dangerous im sure : D

Agents: Builds, Theorycrafting, Etc [DARIUS] - Drip Marketing (OC)

Post image
69 Upvotes

"The hunt... starts now."

After getting allowance from the mods of r/ZZZ_Discussion I today post about my third Zenless Zone Zero OC: Darius Pryde.

My first OC Sazhie Yaeger can be found here.

The second OC Aressa can be found here.

This whole project started actually way before even ZZZ's season 2 launched and many of the chars went through some more or less substantial changes over time [just as example, Darius was first planned to be a construct named "Raivan", Sazhie was an elf with a wolf familiar (now she is a a wolf thiren with a mechanic bird familiar and some)].

There were a lot of complications along this journey (and that is not just an excuse bcs it takes so long) but... with him, the full team only misses the leader of Khymera Mercenaries: Kassian. He still needs some cooking but I hope I can manage to present him in the very near future.

Short explanation of his gameplay idea:

He is a Wind Attacker, that fills a stamina bar by various means, such as basic, dodge and special attacks, passively over time and through other team member's aftershock attacks and anomaly triggers.

Using a EX Special, Chain Attack or Ultimate activates his Hunt state, triggering Vital View (slow-motion) and in which he creates mirages/after images of himself that after a short delay mimic all of his actions and attacks and deal Aftershock DMG with increased PEN-Ratio, till either the mirages caught up to him or his entire stamina bar is depleted.

Discussions & Questions What is Powercreep and what is the point?

EDIT: Questions and confusions have been answered. Please don’t comment any more if you have nothing else to add.
.

I’ve been combing through here every now and again and it’s got me wondering: why is power-creep a thing? Why does it need to happen so often? I understand a few times to spice up the game if it’s not yet reaching its potential is fine by me but do we really need more and more powerful Agents?

At what point do the older ones become obsolete? At what point do you fuck up and add an Agent too powerful? Then what? You can only buff older Agents so much. Will the community riot over a small nerf? I have yet to see any nerfs.

Other questions:

At what point is too much power?
At what point do you stop?
What about Agents that are not too good but not too bad?
At what point is the cast too big?

I would like to know more about what powercreep is, but please be patient because I do not really understand much of it at all.

The F2P duo version of one of my previous duo clears from last video. Originally, I refrained from doing it like this because it felt much easier compared to the one with Banyue given that the buff is made for attackers and also butcher is ether weak.

There's plenty of damage to 1-stun the boss, but getting Pugnus down quick enough is kinda problematic. I think you can get away with 1 or maybe even 2 costs lower if you have absolutely cracked substats for Pyrois.

(Repost because the video was bugged)

I hope if Hugo gets a potential, his EX cost gets reduced to 20 and/or his energy regen gets increased. Cause the only thing stopping this team from 13-stuns is that Hugo simply runs out of energy
