now I'm curious how that would work on console
I do know they banned consoles for a good while, but as for the process on consoles, no idea. Maybe they just block online play altogether on consoles. Do note these limits only apply to online games, but a large majority of gaming over in China is phone-based, so always online includes a huge proportion of the games over there.

Won't these restrictions in China not only lead to the strengthening of offline games (where they can't survey you and cut you off online) and an exodus from PC and mobile over to consoles (where they can't implement their face scanning tech)?

I for one am glad that I can have Kazuha sucking samurai now.

But seriously, it bothered me more because it didn't make sense visually to have humans of that size being immune to CC without using some type of ability. It's ok to have heavier enemies, but I like it to be consistent.

If you think that Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo won't bend over for China, well. lol

They're pretty big guys though... I don't think we can suck in the big treasure hoarder guys (who are smaller than samurais, I think?) either, or can we already?

I do like that the bigger samurai enemies are unable to be sucked up, they look to be wearing more armour/bigger swords

I love kazuha vaccuum too, so I'm curious on how they are doing this

Something else that I found weird is when the Kairagi go into their enhanced elemental state (when they recover HP), they cannot be petrified by Zhong Li.

The samurai don't even need to be fully suckable, but they should at least be affected by the wind in their animations somehow.

The issue was also compounded by all new Inazuma enemies being immune to CC, so it felt like they were forcibly trying to reduce the effectiveness of anemo. At least the Mirror Maiden needs to use a spell before she gets heavy.

Yeah, but they can recover faster. Quick and dirty mobile gif:

Is there a way to remove the element from the Traveller? I thought you could only switch to another one after you get anemo.

No. I didn't look into it much, but I think it was only possible if you avoided Paimon & the statues from the very beginning of the game, and even that might have been patched?

Something else that I found weird is when the Kairagi go into their enhanced elemental state (when they recover HP), they cannot be petrified by Zhong Li.

They also can't be frozen. You can kill them both at once but otherwise it's just... ugh.

It's interesting that they made not only the Nobushi, but also the Kaigari lighter. But really, having to kill both Kaigari at once can be hard enough already, so being able to better group them together will be a plus mechanically. We'll have to see what making them lighter actually means though.

Haha, I love that there were people doing that then.

Kazuha looks so fun...

One day he'll be yours! It's a shame you couldn't play properly because of internet access during those days. :(

So if Thoma is the scraps we're getting for 2.2, who're we calling for reruns?
I'm calling a Halloween Hu Tao banner as the second banner

Leaks said Ganyu, Hu Tao, and Albedo were the upcoming reruns banners, though they also said Yae was going to be the first 2.2 banner and that doesn't seem to be happening so who knows.

Eh when you say "leaks" tho, there have been plenty of conflicting ones, and not really any super trustworthy
That and I feel like reruns can just be swapped about whenever MHY feels like
I don't think anyone got the Childe rerun in 1.4 correct

Any leaks about content that's not currently in beta testing are just... fun to think about, certainly worth considering the possibility, but that's about it.

The new beta will be starting soon. We'll know then.

Looks like Xiao alright, except for that piss on his ear. :}

Now if we're talking Zhongli, Tyaren, I got you!

The way his float down stalls and slows a bit, right before you hit the plunge attack, is the most satisfying feeling thing in the entire game.
It feels so good when you hold his E.

I watched like an hour of Zajef malding over this yesterday lol


(~2h30 onwards)

Also funny that usagi-sensei started adding C1 to Ganyu when she doesn't need it to reach that tier

I ended up watching the whole tier rant when I saw your post and it was pretty amusing, haha.

If I happen to beat the 50/50 I'll roll on the stupid weapon banner since I'd have enough gems for another pity if I win it. Just don't care about the upcoming reruns and I could use either stat sticks featured

I like build #1 because 3 of the 4 stats are at their peak.

Took a break for a few weeks and fell into an FF XIV hole. Clawing my way back out tomorrow. Got that new island hype.

Saved around 60 pulls and only a couple away from the 50/50 when I last left. Baal's coming either way but what remains to be seen is exactly how many primos I piss away on the weapon banner..
