games

i just cant get behind the idea of having to FLICKSHOT

to CS

that genuinely sounds so unfun

if hipfire is accurate it could be okay

but i doubt hipfire is accurate

if they made it so the "soul" didnt float up but the creep was immortal for like .5s

and then you could claim the soul

thatd be better

i know its me complaining about "needing more skill" but its more of a thing of fun

its like finding aimlabs trickshots fun

headshotting a creep gives 1.0xp, other ways to kill it give 0.8xo

reward accuracy but make it less cancer

idk if that's good either

but it's better than the dumb souls

the distance from creep head to soul isnt that bad, but i dont think the system sounds fun. I wonder if the breakables around the map respawn or if the items are just there for the start

Best accuracy person on the team gets a 1.05x XP multiplier at all times, worse gets 0.95x

it still would require you to flick

its not that its bad

its that in high level play/laning against someone whos really good at flicking

its impossible

its purely a speed contest of flicking your mouse up and down

CSing in most mobas requires skill as in controlling your creep aggro, moving the lane around, using spells to secure the ranged creep, knowing how much damage you do so you dont miss

its more so game knowledge and contextual skill with the game

rather than

FLICKSHOTS LFG!!!

It floats to around head level, i'd imagine youd have to play around site lines in some way to manipulate it. I get your point though

thats the difference

creep dies, and spawns small target above its head you must race to shoot

its not a big one

Also didnt that one character have a flamethrower? how does that work

but

thats how far it is

like with last hitting

i mean im sure its more difficult when youre like laning 2v2

im sure the supports job is just to do denies

i imagine

but 1v1 its just a flick off

meanwhile like a dota 1v1 mid is a lot more nuanced

(though not anymore after that oracle change)

I mean, not to over-praise but Valve doesn't really miss. I think it will be great

Valve has plenty of misses

But Dane, they only make what they want to make and they only want to make stuff that's genuinely good.

fuck you nigger im going to sleep and I expect you to write a 500 word essay and why you're wrong by the time im awake

good night sir

With valve's great sense of priorities and polish, this game will probably be great.

The Amico is coming???

The specifically bought everything but the amico

I'm positive on WuWa overall, The explorations/puzzles are on-par with the best parts of Genshin, traversal is also better The combat feels more action-y, but I'm not convinced now that it's any deeper than Genshin's Enemy variety is better, bosses are much better, dungeons are better 3-character teams are a negative, and the pokemon are a mixed bag Even as someone who likes the over-designed style they're going for, they don't come across the best, might just be a reality of the engine/graphics Story is probably on-par with early Genshin, but something about the cutscenes makes it feel slower, needs a 1.5x speed unirronically Music is worse, VA work is scuffed in parts The lack (or holding back) of a bunch of stuff and QoL systems that are in Genshin feels really bad, feels like a smaller initial cast than Genshihn, which means the story has a lot of lame filler NPCs and less to be excited about

It also just... is Genshin

in a weird way that has made me realize that whatever shadow company builds the engine for these games is the actual power player

Mihoyo and KuroGames have a much easier job than I initially thought

I don't get the feeling of cutscenes being slow that you do spooky, and idk what the english VA is like lol. i just default to JP voice acting even though it doesnt match the subtitles because i am just so used to english VA for non-english native stuff being really flat

what do you think about party size?

that's probably what has me most conflicted

3 is worse but tbh 4 in genshin still made me swap units for puzzled in exploration way too often already so

its not that different

and i didnt really ever use all 4 characters in a single combat for genshin, usually i just had 2-3 characters that synergized and the 4th just didnt do anything

swapping teams in genshin was slow, so I almost never did it, it's faster here at least, but I mostly just want to be able to use more characters when wandering around without having to micro who is out on which team if they want to balance around 3-person team combat, I'm 100% on board, but I essentially want a 1 button team swap when ooc

OH but spooky i did think about one thing, about the pokemon/echo stuff in wuwa. I think i might like it more than artifacts in genshin. if only because the monsters have set stats and bonuses, and aren't RNG stats. i hated farming artifacts in genshin because it was almost impossible to get what you really wanted

(also i only have 6 characters so i can just... use all 6 between 2 teams lmao)

100%, they're better than artifacts

but uh

what do you mean by set stats?

am I misunderstanding tuning?

huh?

oh i havent tuned yet, but i was assuming it wasnt rng

if it is then my opinion drops

ok so, maybe I'm misremembering

is tuning for spirits or weapons

the spirits

ok then yeah

weapons are just like genshin

yeah yeah

I just wanted to make sure

so, I think tuning is random, but I THINK you can re-tune

which i dont like in any gacha because they bloat the pull pool
