Decide to go back and get all the stars on Abyss 1 and 2 at AR 45. That was an easy 200 primogems.

They've made me realize I must be terrible at looking at the minimap. One of the geoculi I missed was right by a map marker I placed for a Dandy challenge.

I pulled on the Childe banner just hoping for Ningguang (I have her on my F2P alt and she *rocks* :v:). Got C2 Ningguang and a C0 Diona. Looking forward to trying Diona out in my Keqing team.

I've had Enviosity streaming in the background while I do other things and he almost makes me want to level Amber. Once I'm through with other priorities, maybe...

I was roaming Liyue looking for cor lapis to make compasses for the last few geoculi I needed and found all three (plus a lot of chests) while I was bumming around. I get so lost in the Stone Forest/Jueyun Karst/Cujie Slope area.

I've been skipping a lot of fights while gathering shards. Why should I kill this hilichurl who came to check out what fell from the sky?

I feel like that's one of the weaknesses with a lot of open world games. Sometimes I just want to chill and explore and not get in a fight.

I just wish Diona's heals ticked a little faster. I find myself having to pause sometimes if I'm trying to heal someone particular. I would love to get her C6, but I got C6 Ningguang off this banner, so I can't complain. I think Diona's C6 + a geared Sucrose would be a lot of fun.

On the 5-star chat, while I've amassed a good collection through dolphining, I'm almost always Jean in co-op. Qiqi might be the only other healer I would consider taking into co-op generally and if I had the choice, but I haven't read enough to say. Diona and Bennett both rely on people staying in one place and Barbara's DPS is worse than Jean's. Jean can at least make a dent and if I can isolate some small enemies to toss w/o interfering with the main DPSes, can do some real damage.

I put up my portable waypoint on top of Snarsnatch Cliff rather than directly on crab island so I can farm cecilias, too. Then I decided to try the Anemo treasure compass on the island thinking I couldn't have possibly missed a chest out there...

Nope, there was a precious chest I had missed.

I was ~75 into pity and did about 60 rolls. Got Zhongli, C1 Chongyun, C1 Razor, and Xinyan. I'd love to pick up some constellations for Xinyan, I had a lot of fun with both her and popsicle boy in their trials. The Razor trial was glitched for me, no enemies spawned.

there's leaked beta footage going around which certainly makes ganyu's full charge look about as fast as amber's, though i wouldn't be surprised if she got a nerf before release because, uh, diluc does 612% on his ult at level 7 if he sweet spots it.

please do not dump all your gems or real money when her banner shows up based on a weeks-old one line post on the something awful forums without doing due diligence

Hazdoc posted:

the problem with jean DPS is that she's splitting her damage between two types, physical and anemo. Diluc can build for pyro and be fine doing it, since he infuses his sword with pyro after bursting, but jean has no such luxury. So often she ends up being relegated to healer/nuke support rather than a proper DPS, unless you're explicitly building the team around her with a venti, for instance.

I've never bothered with anemo damage on Jean, but I mostly run her for heals and yeets. Her physical damage is good enough when I run into something Klee can't bomb to death.

They do a lot. Her E is as mentioned above, her Q does the same damage as Zhong Li's rock while healing your party to full. Physical doesn't make any sense on her because most of her damage should come from abilities and phys% isn't the same as atk so it won't scale her healing.

Yeah, I don't build for physical damage, just attack and some ER. The scaling on her E and Q are good enough that I don't feel the need for more anemo damage with her.

Better scaling would mean anemo damage would be more beneficial. That said idk what people like, atk is more heal and anemo is more ability damage so either is probably fine.

If only I had a decent VV set to give her.

I'm looking forward to an Anemo claymore character for my dream stamina reduction overworld farm team of Amber/Kaeya/double Anemo. Just can't mine efficiently with either of those two or Sucrose/Jean.

gandlethorpe posted:

I thought that stuff doesn't stack

I thought it was that e.g. Kaeya's passive wouldn't stack with another character with the same passive, but Kaeya is sprint, Amber is glide, and Anemo resonance is its own thing. I feel like when I hit Crab Island, I just make it with either Amber or double Anemo, but I get there comfortably with both.

For example, Amber and Venti don't stack. If I had Venti, I could have my dream team.

dogsicle posted:

if the datamines hold true then the only anemo claymore we know of atm is kid-sized. not bad for mining but i suppose you'd be running/climbing around as Kaeya anyway.

at least based on in-game text the elemental resonance should stack with passive talents. the talents only mention they aren't stackable with each other at least.

Yeah, I use Klee for danger mining currently, so I'm used to switching off her for travel.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:

Amber just gives reduced stamina consumption while gliding right?
There's like 2 or 3 spots in the entire game that are high enough for it to be even possible to run out of stamina before you hit the ground.

The other time where it's relevant is getting to Crab Island, gliding from a high point and then landing in water and swimming the rest of the way. But for that Beidou's swimming boost is more useful anyways :v:

Yeah, but the less I use gliding the more I have for sprinting!

Also, I just hate stamina as a mechanic. It's fine for charged attacks, but I hate it for exploration. Just let me climb and run to my heart's content.

Also he might be non banner but he’s been in game since launch and is only 5s carry sides keq that has and I think kq has problems in Golden jouse?

I think Keqing also takes more investment to get up to Diluc's level. Diluc can hit hard without too much thought.

I've got an alt I started playing for when dailies don't tide me over and the early game is such a different experience knowing how the elemental system works.

Yeah almost every quest wraps up with ~To Be Continued~, which I'm sure is a way to leave the door wide open for when their development gets back to that point of continuing a story. Personally I'm very excited to pick up where I left off with Mona, which was becoming a starving bum in a freshly rented empty house.

It would also be more than really cool to see Beidou get a quest. Maybe branch away from the generic domain dungeon finisher and let us fight some ambitious seafaring hilichurls across 2 pirate ships.

I'm hoping for a Beidou quest with Inazuma since we have to cross the ocean.
